And people who look forward to seeing the ‘Dabangg’ superstar in a puzzled state may watch the show and see how the host leaves an otherwise talkative Salman Khan speechless!

KJo seems to have done his homework pretty well. At least that’s what appears from the way he threw tricky and uncomfortable questions at the hunk of an actor in one of the promos of the show.

Johar asks Salman - “It has taken me many years to get you on this couch. Why you resisted coming?”

“The kind of questions that you ask are very personal and I feel shy and uncomfortable....”, answers Salman.

KJo also asks the following-

“How does it work handling exes?”

“At gun point if you were forced to have a gay encounter, who would you want to be with?”

“If you woke up in the morning and realised you were Katrina Kaif ...?”

A perplexed Salman laughs it off saying, “Kuch bhi bolta hai yaar...yeh aadmi”.

I think a child gets basic education at home: Shilpa Shetty

By:Rafeeq Mulla.Bollywood Action.News

Now that her child is ready to go to playschool, Shilpa Shetty wonders why securing school admissions is such a big deal

After there were stories of Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai looking for playschools for their tots, now comes the news that Shilpa Shetty is looking for one too. She says, `Now school admissions is such a big deal, we complicate our lives. We went to normal convent schools down the road.

Today there is research on which school is good, about the way children are educated, parent interviews-child interviews and then in the end, you get paranoid. I think a child gets basic education at home. The more time you spend with your child is the best thing you can do in terms of education and security. I am little old school in that way.`

Shilpa does not want to miss out on her son Viaan Raj's growing up years. The actress, who currently features as a judge on the dance reality show Nach Baliye 6, plans her schedule in such a manner that she does not spend too many days away from him.

A source says, `Shilpa takes a day off from all her commitments after she completes shooting for the show. Also, if she has to go out of town for work even for a day, she ensures that she takes a couple of days break with him.`

Shilpa says, `Everyday he is saying something new, he is doing something crazy. Now he has got this obsession of going to the beach. I want to spend as much time as I can with him.There is lot to do workwise, but I am doing whatever fits into my comfort zone. He gets up at 8 am and sleeps at 9 pm so with these timings, it doesn't make sense for me to work for long periods now.

By:Rafeeq Mulla.Bollywood Action.News

A birdie chirps to say that Arjan Bajwa has been pencilled in to essay a role with grey shades in Dia Mirza and her beau Sahil Sangha's upcoming film Bobby Jasoos starring Vidya Balan.

A source close to the unit reveals that the makers are keeping everything under wraps for now. The film's cast includes Ali Fazal and Tanvi Azmi. Vids essays a bumbling detective in the film. So can we guess Arjan -- who was seen in Fashion with Priyanka Chopra -- will throw a spanner in the detective work?

‘Bigg Boss 7’: Gauahar Khan made to eat chilli cake in 75 seconds by nasty housemates

By:Rafeeq Mulla.Bollywood Action.News

New Delhi: On day 72, the Hukumat comprising Tanishaa, Andy, Sangram and Ajaz made the Virodhi team do nasty tasks.
While the members of Virodhi team - Gauahar, Kamya, Kushal and Armaan were sitting in the garden area of the house – the Hukumat team members announced a task that required Gauhar to eat half a kilogram of cake smeared with chilli sauce in 60 seconds. Shocked at the tight deadline for completing the task, Gauahar and her team mates straight forwardly told the Hukumat team that the 60 second deadline is unreasonable.

As a result, the Hukumat team increased the time limit to 75 seconds. Left with no choice, Gauahar reluctantly agreed to do the task. As the task began, it was quite evident that Gauahar was having trouble gobbling down the cake but she sportingly did it. Kushal, who was by Gauahar’s side through the task, kept urging her to water down the cake to make the task easier.

Going by the kind of task given by the current Hukumat team, we feel that it was rather inhumane on their part. Won’t you agree?

Kareena Kapoor is ready with her plans for brother Ranbir Kapoor’s wedding

By:Rafeeq Mulla.Bollywood Action.News

New Delhi: First cousins Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranbir Kapoor are set to appear in Karan Johar’s celebrity chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’, and we can definitely expect to get a good dose of juicy gossip related to the star siblings.

Pinkvilla has quoted an article in Open Magazine written by a popular writer and film critic which says that Kareena grabbed the opportunity to pull Ranbir’s leg about his alleged girlfriend Katrina Kaif on National television.

According to the magazine’s write-up, Bebo teasingly told Ranbir, “I’ve got my lehenga ready for your wedding, and I’ve been rehearsing the steps to ‘Sheila ki Jawaani’ and ‘Chikni Chameli’.”

Now, we know that both ‘Sheila ki Jawaani’ and ‘Chikni Chameli’ are Katrina’s songs which means that Kareena is hinting at Ranbir’s nuptials with none other than Kat. All we need to know is that whether Ranbir-Kat are seriously thinking of tying the knot or was it a mere joke on Bebo’s part.

'Hrithik is NOT undergoing another surgery'

By:Rafeeq Mulla.Bollywood Action.News

There have been reports of Hrithik Roshan’s plans to go abroad for medical treatment, and that he would require another brain surgery for his headaches.

Hrithik had undergone a brain surgery in July in Mumbai.

But his father Rakesh Roshan rubbishes the reports of the second surgery.

"Hrithik is going abroad only for a medical check-up, not a surgery," Rakesh Roshan says. "He gets these occasional headaches, and wants to get to the bottom of them once and for all."

Apparently, reports suggesting that Hrithik would need a long layoff from work are not only misplaced but also premature.

Says the concerned father, “Hrithik will be abroad for a week or at the most, two weeks. There is no need to spread alarming reports."

Hrithik had undergone a brain surgery in July after he sustained injuries from an action sequence for his film Bang Bang.

Retro Fashion we DON'T want to see again

By:Rafeeq Mulla.Bollywood Action.News

The Wikipedia entry of the term 'retro' explains its meaning by way of an example, 'clothing from the 1980s or 1990s could be retro.'

While we're on our way to 2014, all the 'retro' throwbacks we see onscreen are tributes to fashion trends of the 1960s and 70s.

So we decided to do a little 'Throwback Thursday' of our own and update the retro style files.

Unfortunately, most of what we dug up were trends everybody would rather stay away from (Boy! Are we glad that era passed!).

Here then, is a look at 11 NEW retro looks we wish NEVER come back!

Shady designs

As much as we'd like to talk about all of it, let's just focus on Sridevi's eyes in this still from her 1990 film Nakabandi.

We get it you have to be all sparkly and shiny to play a showgirl but must you try to become India's answer to Gwen Stefani's Harajuku girls?

Mumbai: Actor Saqib Saleem could not believe that he is getting a chance to work with filmmaker Amole Gupte when he signed ‘Hawaa Hawaai’.

"I had seen `Stanley Ka Dabba` and that time I had an agency and I asked them to somehow get me to meet Amole Gupte and I would do any small role in his film. When I got to know that he is making a film, I went to meet him and we did a look test," the 25-year-old said here Tuesday at a special screening of ‘Stanley Ka Dabba’ for underprivileged kids.

The actor plays a young skating coach in ‘Hawaa Hawaai’.

"Our film is about everybody who has a dream and about fulfilling it. I play a 22-23-year-old skating coach. I can`t tell anything more than this, you will understand more when the trailer comes out," the actor said.

Saqib has earlier worked in three film – ‘Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge’, ‘Mere Dad Ki Maruti’ and ‘Bombay Talkies’.
