Looks like it’s time for mending all the broken relationships in <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword>, and flaunting the same in style. 
 
A day after <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Guess-who-released-Salmans-first-look-in-Bajrangi-Bhaijaan/articleshow/47430828.cms">Shah Rukh Khan released the first look </a>of once-rival Salman Khan’s upcoming movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan, we are hearing the news of <keyword id="6355887" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shahid-Kapoor">Shahid Kapoor</keyword> and <keyword id="333" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Saif-Ali-Khan">Saif Ali Khan</keyword> coming together for a movie. 
 It’s not hidden from anyone that Shahid was once in an intense relationship with <keyword id="2165" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kareena-Kapoor">Kareena Kapoor</keyword>, who broke up with him after falling in love with Saif Ali Khan while filming the movie Tashan. This obviously must not have gone down too well with Shahid, who however chose to be wise and never washed his dirty linen in public. 
 
Even though both of them were reported to be on amicable terms after the break-up, no one ever saw them under the same roof after their break-up. The brunt of their estranged relationship was bore by the makers of Milenge Milenge, a movie shot when they were a couple but released years after they broke up. Both of them were not interested in making any appearance to promote the movie, which led to its blink-and-miss release, making it one of the biggest flops of 2010. 
 
Well, what’s gone is gone, it seems. While Kareena and Saif got married and have moved on in their lives, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Finally-Shahid-and-Mira-in-a-single-frame/articleshow/47356669.cms">Shahid is also set to marry </a>Delhi girl <keyword id="2775998" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mira-Rajput">Mira Rajput</keyword> sometime next month. 
 
This development in their personal life is also visible in the movies that the three stars in question have agreed to be a part of. Shahid and Kareena have started shooting for Abhishek Chaubey’s <keyword id="6356850" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Udta-Punjab">Udta Punjab</keyword>, also starring Alia Bhatt and Diljit Dosanjh. 
 
Here is an image from the set of Udta Punjab: 
 
 
 
 Saif and Shahid would also be seen together in <keyword id="17467" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vishal-Bhardwaj">Vishal Bhardwaj</keyword>’s upcoming movie, tentatively titled Rangoon. While Vishal has had a massive hit with Shahid in his last release Haider, he has worked with Saif in 2006 movie Omkara. Both the movies were critically acclaimed and performances of both Shahid and Saif were well received. 
 
Rangoon, which is set in the era of the Second World War, is reported to be the most expensive film to be coming out of Vishal’s kitty till date, and would be a musical. 
 
The movie would also have Kangna Ranaut, who is riding high on the success of <keyword id="2600630" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Tanu-Weds-Manu-Returns">Tanu Weds Manu Returns</keyword> and receiving a National Award for her movie <keyword id="6377522" type="POSITION" weightage="100" keywordseo="queen">Queen</keyword>. It would be the first time that Vishal would work with Kangna, and we can’t wait to see the collaboration, given that both are masters of their respective crafts. 
 
Now watch the best scene from the movie Omkara, which got Saif the Filmfare award for Best Villain.

15 Women Who Redefined Bollywood

<keyword id="89958" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shraddha-Kapoor">Shraddha Kapoor</keyword>, who rose to fame with the portrayal of Arohi Keshav Shirke in 2013 release <keyword id="780293" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aashiqui-2">Aashiqui 2</keyword>, is celebrating her 25th birthday today. Here in, we have one sharp look at the professional journey of one of the most popular young actresses of Indian cinema. 
 
1. The first time we saw Shraddha Kapoor on the silver screen was when she donned the role of a studious geek Aparna Khanna who volunteers in a poker experiment. The year was 2010 and the movie that marked her debut was <keyword id="16035" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Teen-Patti">Teen Patti</keyword>, in which she starred along Amitabh Bachchan and R. Madhavan. The movie could not do well at the box office, resulting in a career setback for Shraddha. Reportedly, she also lost her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s My Friend Pinto because of the movie’s failure. 
 
2. Next year, in 2011, we saw her as a girl next door who gets her heart broken and plans revenge in <keyword id="595028" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Luv-ka-the-End">Luv Ka The End</keyword>. She shared the screen space with Taaha Shah and Ali Zafar. The film was the first production venture of Y-Films, Yash Raj Films’ division for making youth-centric films. Although the film went unnoticed, Shraddha’s performance was appreciated by critics. 
 
3. After taking a year-long break, the young Kapoor lass returned to the screens with the musical romantic saga Aashiqui 2. The movie, which also had Aditya Roy Kapur, was highly successful and Shraddha Kapoor was noticed for her good looks as well as acting prowess. 
 
4. Next in line for the lady was a guest role in Dharma Productions’ Gori Tere Pyaar Mein, in which she played Vasudha, a Tamilian girl in love with a Sikh boy. The lead pair of the movie was Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor, and Shraddha’s role was limited to a few scenes. 
 
5. Came 2014 and Shraddha was seen as Ayesha in another musical romantic thriller Ek Villain. Her role was that of a young girl who falls in love with a goon and transforms him into a family man, only to be killed by a psychopath killer. Her role in the movie was limited to a few flashback scenes other than some songs, given the fact that her character gets killed in the first 15 minutes. 
 
6. Towards the end of 2014, we saw the pretty lady doing a role in Haider, for ace director Vishal Bhardwaj. She portrayed the role of Arshiya, a young Kashmiri journalist in love with the main lead, played by Shahid Kapoor. Her performance and hard work in the movie to get into the skin of a Kashmiri girl were appreciated. 
 
7. She also did an item number, called Dance Basanti, in the movie Ungli. 
 
8. In 2015, she would be seen in Remo D’souza’s next <keyword id="1870207" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="ABCD-2">ABCD 2</keyword>, which is the sequel to 2013’s ABCD: Any Body Can Dance. She is paired opposite Varun Dhawan and portrays a dancer in the movie. Reportedly, she has been working hard to get into the shoes of a dancer. The movie would release in June 2015. 
 
9. She would also began shooting for Rock On 2, the sequel to Rock On!!, which released in 2008. The movie would also stars Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal and Purab Kohli and would be shot in Shillong. 
 
10. Other than acting, Shraddha Kapoor also has a passion for singing, given her relations with Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle, two of India’s most reputed singers. Shraddha’s mother Shivangi Kapoor is the daughter of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle’s paternal aunt. Shivangi herself is a trained singer, and Shraddha has surely got her singing skills from her. In the recently concluded Global Indian Music Awards, Shraddha Kapoor was awarded the ‘Celebrity Singer Of The Year’ award.

Shraddha Kapoor Turns 25! A Look At Her Bollywood Journey So Far

Shahid Kapoor, who has been ruling millions of hearts since his debut movie Ishq Vishk that came in 2003, is all set to go off the ‘Eligible Bachelor’ list by the end of this year. 
 
After certain rumors and speculations in the past few days that the Kapoor lad has got engaged to Delhi girl Mira Rajpoot, the man chose to disclose the news of his wedding in front of the media. However, he didn’t reveal any details about the girl, so we still don’t know if the lucky girl is actually Mira or someone else. 
 
Seen at an award ceremony held in Mumbai, Shahid looked quite happy as he talked about his impending wedding, and asked the media to treat it like a ‘normal and regular’ thing, given that he is just a normal guy and she is just a normal girl.

The Kabir Singh actress was spotted wearing high-heeled sneakers, much like the ones Nicki Minaj popularised when she wore them to the European Music Awards (EMAs) 2018.

 Minaj wore these boots in a series of different colours for her various stage performances on the day. Her quirky personality and suave match the chunky footwear — but in Kiara's case, <a href="https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/tacky-kiara-advanis-high-heel-sneakers-that-cost-rs-70k-are-making-the-fashion-police-cringe">not so much</a>. And her choices put her on top of 2019's worst fashion blunders. Kiara paired the boots with a Givenchy jumper, tights and sunglasses which only made the shoes stand out — and their ugliness even more apparent. The exorbitant price tag While spending ₹70,000 on Prada shoes might <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/finance/news/an-italian-designer-debuted-a-pair-of-heels-reportedly-worth-20-million-made-of-solid-gold-30-carats-of-diamonds-and-meteorite-and-he-claims-theyre-the-most-expensive-shoes-in-the-world/amp_articleshow/71729970.cms">seem like an exorbitant amount</a> — it's nothing compared to what <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/from-converse-to-air-jordans-sneakers-have-been-a-status-symbol-for-decades-but-millennials-are-redefining-what-that-means-in-3-major-ways/articleshow/68513367.cms">other celebs are ready to shell out</a>. Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra are reportedly avid shoe collectors. While Padukone prefers Gucci, the prices of which start at around ₹50,000 - Chopra has a collection of nearly 80 designer shoes. It's not just women who have an eye for shoes, but some of Bollywood's leading actors as well — and they've been seen flaunting their goods around the town. Arjun Kapoor was spotted wearing Green Bounce Camouflage Sneakers from Valentino Garavani which costs ₹77,000. Ayushmann Khurrana was seen wearing an even more expensive pair of Gucci BY Yankees Rhyton Sneakers while making the rounds for Dream Girl — and they cost a whopping ₹84,000. Even the humble Rajkummar Rao was caught wearing ₹93,000 Natural Kicko Flat Suede Jodhpurs by Christian Louboutin while promoting Made in China. The only difference is, they pulled off their choices — making it well worth the money. Starring opposite Diljith Dosanjh, Akshay Kumar, and Kareena Kapoor in the upcoming movie Good Newwz, this isn't the first time that Kiara Advani has been caught in the crosshairs of a fashion faux pas. Barely a week ago, Advani was spotted wearing a weird set of shades with beaded retainers — and subsequently trolled by the <a href="https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/bollywood/kiara-advani-ka-weird-chasma-kiara-spotted-after-a-salon-session-at-krokmakay">fashion police</a>.

She was 71. The three-time National Award winner was not keeping well for some time. She was admitted to Guru Nanak Hospital in Bandra last Saturday after she complained of breathing issues. She had tested negative for Covid-19. "She passed away due to cardiac arrest at around 2.30 am at the hospital," Khan's nephew Manish Jagwani told PTI. Khan is survived by son Raju Khan and daughter Sukaina Khan. Her funeral was held on Friday morning at a cemetery in suburban Malad. "We buried her at around 7 am. The prayer meeting will be held after three days," Sukaina told PTI. Mourning her death, superstar Akshay Kumar said Khan made dance look easy and accessible. "Woke up to the sad news that legendary choreographer #SarojKhan ji is no more. She made dance look easy, almost like anybody can dance, a huge loss for the industry. May her soul rest in peace," Akshay tweeted. Director Kunal Kohli, who worked with the choreographer on "Fanaa", remembered Khan as someone who stood up for people's rights. "She stood up for the rights of people. Never bothered who was a star or not. She said her bit unadulterated and from the heart. Brought biryani on every song and fed the whole crew so lovingly.We gossiped, we worked. Thankyou for the memories masterji. Saroj Khan love you always," he tweeted. In a career spanning over four decades, Khan, who was known as Masterji, choreographed more than 2,000 songs. Khan's best work was with actors Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit, the prominent dancing stars of the 80s and 90s. Her parents migrated to India after the Partition. She started her career in the film industry as a child artiste at the age of three and later started working as a background dancer. The choreographer, who was born as Nirmala and later converted to Islam, learnt dance while working under film choreographer B Sohanlal. They got married when she was 13 and he was 41. It was Sohanlal's second marriage. Khan got her first break as an independent choreographer with Geeta Mera Naam in 1974 but it took Sridevi's Hawa Hawai song in 1987 film Mr India for her to receive acclaim as a dance choreographer of repute. There was no looking back for Khan after the success of the song. She choreographed Sridevi in films such as Nagina and Chandni . But it was her work with Madhuri Dixit that made her famous. Starting with Ek Do Teen in Tezaab , she choreographed Madhuri in Tamma Tamma Loge in Thanedar and Dhak Dhak Karne Laga in Beta and "Dola Re Dola" from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Devdas". She also choreographed Kareena Kapoor in "Ye Ishq Haaye". She last choreographed for "Tabaah Hogaye", featuring Madhuri from filmmaker Karan Johar's production "Kalank" in 2019.

5 Bollywood Adaptations of Shakespeare’s Novels

Reality is the most coveted theme in Bollywood right now. From churning out biopics to drawing inspiration from real-life incidents, movies are riding the ‘reality’ wave in a bid to rake in big moolah. Although it is not a box office hit, the recently released Gulaab Gang, starring Madhuri Dixit Nene and Juhi Chawla, is said to be inspired by Sampat Pal Devi and her Gulabi Gang, a group of Indian women vigilantes and activists. Another biopic based on Olympic medallist Mary Kom is coming up soon and promises to make waves. But before that, let us take a look at some of the most popular movies inspired by real life. 
 
1. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag One of the biggest hits of 2013 starring <keyword id="5015" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Farhan-Akhtar">Farhan Akhtar</keyword>, this is a biopic of Milkha Singh, the Flying Sikh of India. The flick goes beyond the obvious and highlights the lesser-known facts of the legendary athlete’s life, thus introducing the Indian sports hero to the Gen Y. Farhan is spectacular in his role while Milkha Singh has sold the rights of the movie for Re 1. However, a share of the profits goes to <keyword id="1937557" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="40" keywordseo="Milkha-Singh-Charitable-Trust">Milkha Singh Charitable Trust</keyword>. 
 
2. The Attacks of 26/11 
Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, this docudrama is based on the gory Mumbai attacks of 2008. The movie focuses on the series of events that took place on this fateful day. The movie revolves around the terrorist attacks and Ajmal Kasab, the prime radical, who was caught. RGV relies on police statements, eyewitnesses and the court evidence to bring in a pretty close presentation of reality. 
 
3. Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara 
A sequel to 2010’s Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, the movie is inspired by the animosity between gangsters Dawood Ibrahim and Chota Rajan. Despite a lot of hype, this gangster saga turned out to be a flop. Akshay Kumar, <keyword id="14676" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Imran-Khan">Imran Khan</keyword> and Sonakshi Sinha played lead roles in the film. 
 
4. The Dirty Picture 
Starring Vidya Balan, this one is a biopic of the southern sex siren, Silk Smitha, and offers a heavy dose of entertainment. Vidya has done an admirable job here and played a perfect seductress. She did her best to get into the skin of the character, which also required her to put on oodles of flab. 
 
5. Special 26 Starring Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher, this film was inspired by a real life incident that took place in Mumbai’s Zaveri Bazaar in 1987. In the movie, a group on conmen posing as CBI officers executes a daylight income tax raid. The film also stars <keyword id="7637" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Manoj-Bajpayee">Manoj Bajpayee</keyword> and Jimmy Shergill, and has won plenty of critical acclaim. 
 
6. Paan Singh Tomar 
Another gem of a movie starring Irrfan Khan. This is a biopic of an athlete, Paan Singh Tomar, who was employed with the Indian Armed Forces. The film weaves the real life incidents that forced Paan Singh to quit the defence services and his dream of becoming an internationally acclaimed athlete, and take to guns instead. 
 
7. Satyagraha – Democracy Under Fire A political thriller starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor, this flick is loosely based on <keyword id="57766" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Anna-Hazare">Anna Hazare</keyword>’s fight against corruption. While Big B plays the role of Anna, Kareena’s character is inspired by the international journalist, Christian Amanpour. 
 
8. No One Killed Jessica This political crime thriller is a screen adaptation of the much publicised <keyword id="14009" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Jessica-Lal">Jessica Lal</keyword> murder case. While Vidya Balan plays Jessica’s elder sister, Rani Mukherjee is the spunky news reporter. The film has been widely appreciated for making the point quite poignantly and has bagged many prestigious awards. 
 
9. Not a Love Story 
This film starring Mahie Gill and Deepak Dobriyal is based on the ghastly murder of Neeraj Grover that led to the arrest of Maria Susairaj and M.L. Jerome. Director Ram Gopal Varma shot the movie in just 20 days at Dheeraj Solitaire building, which is the prime location of the incident. 
 
10. Guru 
It has not been stated officially but Guru, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, takes inspiration from the life and times of India’s celebrated business tycoon, <keyword id="6418409" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Dhirubhai-Ambani">Dhirubhai Ambani</keyword>. It portrays the journey of an ordinary man growing up to become one of the most powerful businessmen, with absolute faith in his dreams.
