  • Singer Sajjad Ali calls out Bollywood for plagiarizing his song ‘Ab Ke Hum Bichere’

    Singer Sajjad Ali calls out Bollywood for plagiarizing his song ‘Ab Ke Hum Bichere’

    It seems as though Bollywood’s tendency to plagiarize Pakistani music hasn’t ended. This time, it was singer Sajjad Ali who called out Bollywood for plagiarizing his song ‘Ab Ke Hum Bicharay’.
    Yesterday, the singer uploaded a video on Instagram, where he says he was listening to songs from an upcoming movie and realized that the melody resembled a song he had written years ago. He did not name drop the Bollywood song directly, but left it for his followers to interpret.

    After close observation, many fans were quick to point out that the melody of Sajad Ali’s song was similar to the Bollywood song ‘Besharam Rang’.

    This is not the first time Bollywood has been called out for stealing music from Pakistani artists. Politician and singer Abrar-ul-Haq had announced that he was suing T-series for copying his iconic song Nach Punjaban in the film Jugjug Jeeyo, that too without giving him any credit.

    Singer Hadiqa Kiyani had criticized Bollywood singer Kanika Kapoor for covering her song ‘Boohey Bariyan’ without giving any credit to the original singer. In her Instagram stories, Kiyani called it ‘the theft of Pakistani music’ and said that covers of original songs need to require permission from the original artists first, and also revealed that this was not the first time she had seen her music stolen by Bollywood.

    Mahira Khan reveals her most special scene with Shah Rukh Khan

    Superstar Mahira Khan has spilled the beans on her career, co-stars, and more in an ‘Ask Mahira’ session on Twitter. 

    The Bin Roye diva was asked about a scene that she would like to recreate with her Bollywood debut, Raees co-star Shah Rukh Khan from their hit film. Khan cited a still from the song Zalima and wrote, “This! ;)”

    The still featured Mahira and Shah Rukh in a lovey-dovey zone. Raees was released in January 2017 and entered the 100-crore club.

    When a fan asked what her journey from Khirad Hussain to Mukkho Jatti has been like, she quipped, “Long but magical! Pakki pakki mashooq hoon!”

    The Legend of Maula Jatt star even revealed that while she may not immediately return for another TV serial after Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay, there is something “special” in store for her fans — a series perhaps — “who knows?” she teased.

    Mahira also confessed that while she’s still trying to figure out where all the love — love one doesn’t know they’re even capable of showing — is supposed to go when a dear one leaves, she believes in connecting with herself and the creator. “I’m feeling low and I miss my Twitter family. So should we do an ‘Ask Mahira’? she initiated on the micro-blogging site on Saturday evening.

    When a user asked what makes a social media detox difficult, Mahira replied, “Only you guys, absolutely nothing else!” Another inquired, “When are we getting the first look of Neelofar?” Mahira answered, “Was meant to be soonish. InshaAllah. Producer sahab decides. I’ve seen it and…” she completed her sentence with some wholesome emojis.

  • Fact Check: Ranveer Singh set to replace Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Don 3’?

    Fact Check: Ranveer Singh set to replace Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Don 3’?

    Bollywood buffs created a frenzy on social media when director Farhan Akhtar revealed that he is working on the script for Don 3. However, there has been overwhelming speculation about the cast of the much-awaited film.

    As per Indian media, the third installment of the acclaimed franchise will have Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan in key roles with Ranveer Singh playing an extended cameo.

    Contrary to social media speculation, Singh will not be replacing SRK in the film but will be doing a special part to make the film even bigger.

    Amitabh Farhan Ranveer

    A source revealed to Filmfare, “Farhan had an ambitious idea of getting Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan together in the third installment. Interestingly, Bachchan was the lead in the original Don (1978). It had a different ending and showed the good-natured Vijay surviving and Don dying, while SRK’s version showed vice versa. Hence, it’s not clear whether or not Big B was supposed to play the role from the original version. However, Farhan definitely had thought of casting Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan in Don 3.”

    Farhan is currently crafting a special part for the Bajirao Mastani star who is currently the biggest young superstar in Bollywood. Well, the fans surely can’t wait for the official announcement of the film.

    A stamp duty of over INR 7 crore has been paid for the transaction, which includes the purchase of 11,266 sq ft space, an exclusive 1,300 sq ft terrace and 19 parking lots, the sources said. The per square feet price works out to around INR 1 lakh.

    The quadruplex is likely to serve as the primary home for Singh and his actor wife Deepika Padukone. Sources said they were in the market for nearly three years now with a mandate to look for an independent bungalow in Juhu and Bandra localities where a lot of celebrities stay.

    Last year, the couple had bought a second home at Alibag for INR 22 crore.

    At present, Sagar Resham does not boast of marquee names who will be neighbours of the star couple, sources added.

    When contacted, real estate consultancy firm JLL India’s senior director and head (west) for residential services, Ritesh Mehta, said the price paid by the actor is as per the market trend. A property at this location commands a price of INR 90,000-Rs 1.10 lakh per square feet.

    ‘Painted me as international drug trafficker’: Aryan Khan breaks silence on the controversial drug case

    Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan made “soul-searching queries” to the lead investigator on the drugs case against him while the actor disclosed how his son had trouble sleeping at night because of the public trial, the India Today magazine has reported in the first comments by the family on the eight-month ordeal.

    The report, based on an interview with Sanjay Singh, the senior Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer who headed the probe, said that the investigator did not expect the questions Aryan Khan asked him.

    Mr Singh said that after he told Aryan Khan that he had come with “an open mind”, the 24-year-old asked, “Sir, you have painted me as an international drug trafficker, that I finance drug trafficking – aren’t these charges absurd?”

    “They did not find any drugs on my person that day, and yet they arrested me. Sir, you have done me great wrong and ruined my reputation. Why did I have to spend so many weeks in jail – did I really deserve it?” Aryan Khan reportedly asked.

    When the officer later met Aryan Khan’s father, Shah Rukh Khan, the actor said he was concerned about his son’s mental health.

    Aryan was cleared of all charges by the NCB eight months after his arrest.

    The Dilwale star told him that Aryan was not sleeping well, and he had to keep him company through the night, the magazine reported.

    The superstar also said that his son was “being vilified” even though there was no substantial evidence against him.

    Almost in tears, Shah Rukh told Sanjay Singh, “We have been painted as some kind of big criminals or monsters who are out to destroy society, and we find it going to work tough every day.”

    Eight months after a raid on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai that ended in his arrest and more than three weeks in jail, Aryan Khan was cleared of all charges by the NCB last month because of a lack of sufficient evidence.

    Aryan, in his statement to the NCB, had alleged that Ananya gave him weed after taking it from her younger sister. However, the Gehraiyaan diva called Aryan’s statement false and said, “I am unaware as to why he is lying about this.”

    Aryan had said in his statement to NCB last year, “Ananya has a younger sister who was caught by Ananya with weed. She was about 15-16 years old at the time. She was not a regular smoker and was misled. When Ananya found out, she did not want their parents to know, so she gave me the weed to dispose of, and I did.”

    Pandey said that she and Aryan had been friends since childhood as their parents had been friends too. She said, “We were close friends until 2019, but after that, we both got involved in our work and drifted apart. However, we are still in touch and talk occasionally.”

    “I want to state that I have never given any drug/contraband to anyone. I have never offered to give drugs/contraband to anyone. I have never even offered to pay anyone for drugs or contraband. I am not in the business of drug delivery or peddling. I do not know any drug dealer,” she said in her statement.

    She added that her sister was into smoking loose tobacco until 2020. However, she is not into drugs. Ananya added that her sister does visit a psychologist for her eating disorder and such issues.

    Aryan was taken to the NCB office after a cruise party was raided. On Sunday, the star kid was sent into custody in October 2021.

    When Salman Khan rejected superhit ‘Chak De India’ for his Pakistani fans

    A major report in Indian media has unveiled that Bollywood actor Salman Khan rejected the blockbuster film Chak De India to not upset his fans in Pakistan.

    Later the film was offered to Shah Rukh Khan in 2007 and the film turned out to be a huge blockbuster. During his interview with The Indian Express, he said that he does not regret not doing the film.

    It’s no secret that Shah Rukh Khan’s 2007 hit Chak De! India was first offered to Salman Khan, however, what many might not know is that Salman rejected the film to safeguard his Pakistani fans’ feelings. Talking to The Indian Express in 2007 about the film which went on to become a major hit for SRK and filmmaker Aditya Chopra, the Dabangg actor said, “I don’t regret not doing the film but I agree that my judgement about it was wrong.”

    The Ek Tha Tiger hero went on to list two reasons based on which he had rejected the film at the time.

    “I had a problem with the climax. My reasoning was that if you lose to Pakistan then you also have to win with Pakistan. I also had a problem with the title. I wish they hadn’t added India to the title. I felt our fans in Pakistan and Bangladesh might feel bad.”

    Chak De! India starred SRK as a disgraced hockey player who goes on to coach the Indian women’s hockey team to a world cup victory.
