Bipasha surprised to hear John’s jail sentence

John Abraham’s 15 days jail sentence came as a big surprise for Bipasha Basu and she responded highly to the judgement of the court. She quips, “We’ll go to a higher court to fight the judgement. We can not just admit it quietly. John has been treated unfairly”.Bips was shooting and she heard about the judgement only at late night. She was stunned with the verdict. “Can you believe it? My phone had stopped working on Thursday. We knew John was going into court, but thought the issue would be closed this time.”

While John Abraham was tight lipped about the whole thing. “More than himself, John’s worry was for his family and for youngsters who look up to him as a role model. He is not an irresponsible person. In fact, he is really aware of his social duties. It is unfair to punish him for an incident in which he was hurt the most,” Basu said.

Aamir loyalist dedicates film to SRK

Camps in Bollywood are common place. Salman’s friends are not close to Shah Rukh Khan  and vice versa. Any attempt by any member of such a camp to appease the rival celebrity is seen as a turncoat. TOI has learnt of one such improvement that is raising eyebrows in tinseltown. Kunal Kohli is known to be an Aamir supporter and not mostly close to SRK. In fact, we know that the filmmaker hasn’t even met SRKin a couple of years. But rapidly, his upcoming film Break Ke Baad, is looking like an unofficial tribute to SRK.

Imran is not only mouthing dialogues and matching dance steps that we have seen SRK do and glide into the hearts of billions but Deepika is also trying to be like SRK in the film. She even has a dialogue in which she declares that she is like SRK. Curious, we called on Kunal to find out if he has switched sides. He says, “I know people are saying this because I’m Aamir’s friend. The film is about two people who grew up in the times of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Toh Pagal Hai and some of the memorable romances that SRK has given to the audiences.

The characters are inspired by his movies. The film is a tribute to SRK no doubt, but I hope that people are not reading too much between the lines. I am not trying to do a movie with SRK as of now. If the industry is gossiping that I’m trying to win SRK to my side with this movie, I haven’t met him in a long time now.”

Saif And Kareena Face media Boycott

We know from personal experience that there are very few B’wood celebrities who are timely. Many of them get away with being hours late for events, but not this time for Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor.It seems that when Bebo and Saif got to an event in Mumbai nearly 2 hours later than they were supposed to, the media boycotted them. So what was the cause for this delay? Obviously, the couple were trapped in traffic.

Surprising, considering that the event venue was just about half an hour away from their home.The organisers say that they kept updating the journos about this, but that didn’t stop them from walking out anyway. We hear Saif apologised to everybody, but we think he might have also learnt that you cannot keep all the people waiting all the time!
