Anurag Basu, Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor Feb 2, 2017 - Now
Ranbir skipped Anurag Basu's Saraswati puja because of Katrina?
Mumbai: Every year filmmaker Anurag Basu organizes a Saraswati puja along with music director Pritam in his apartment. Ranbir Kapoor has been religiously attending the event since many years while his ex-flame Katrina Kaif has been attending since past three years. But this year it was only the latter that was present at the event while Ranbir was missing.
"It’s a grand affair with Anurag and Pritam preparing the bhog (feast) themselves. RK’s been a regular for some years at this event while his ex Katrina Kaif attending it three years ago when the couple was dating. With her solo appearance at Anurag’s puja this year, it sparked off speculation whether Ranbir was deliberately avoiding his ex," a source told a leading daily.
We wonder whether Ranbir is trying to avoid Katrina at public events due to the discomfort they share after their break-up early last year.
But a source close to the actor refuted the news by saying, "However, the truth is, on this day, the actor was shooting for his Dutt biopic directed by Rajkumar Hirani."
Ranbir and Katrina will be next seen in Anurag Basu’s 'Jagga Jasoos'.
Huma Qureshi heaps praise on Akshay
Actress Huma Qureshi hopes to imbibe the sense of discipline and hardwork from his “Jolly LLB 2” co-star Akshay Kumar who she says, puts in his best while working.
Huma feels the “Airlift” actor works without any star trappings on the sets.
“One always feels that superstars tend to take their success for granted, but not with him (Akshay). I’ve seen him work really hard for our film and I am sure he does that for every film he is a part of,” Huma said in an interview.
“He does four films in a year. I hope to imbibe some sense of discipline and how he manages to spend time with his family, children, how involved he is. I want to be that great a multi-tasker in that sense,” she added.
Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the courtroom-drama-comedy is a sequel to the 2013 film Jolly LLB which starred Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao in the lead roles.
Huma says while working with Akshay was an enriching experience, there were times when the actor played pranks on her as well.
“He took my phone and messaged to three heroes that I love them, I want to marry them. Then I had to call everyone and say I am really sorry it was a prank. They all laughed the hardest when they knew it was Akshay.
“He does these things but he is a great guy to work with. Sense of discipline, time, respect for other people’s time, to get that from a big star is amazing.”
The actress lashes out at people who trolled Harshvardhan Kapoor.
Harshvardhan Kapoor’s recent run-in with actor Diljit Dosanjh and a media group for giving the latter, the award for the best debutant, seems to have hurt his star-sister Sonam Kapoor.
“He’s not that kind of a person. Harsh is the sweetest, gentlest, kindest soul I’ve met. And to troll him just because he made a point about the debutant’s award, is just too unfair. He was speaking out of conviction. And according to me, he was not speaking out of line,” says the protective and proud sister, who feels Harsh was ‘awesome’ in his debut film, Mirzya.
“Just because it didn’t do well, doesn’t mean all the hard work that has gone into it is nullified. Even my debut film, Saawariya, didn’t work at the box office. But I’m very proud of it. And I’m proud of what my brother did in Mirzya,” says Sonam.
Regarding Harsh’s objection to Diljit Dosanjh’s debut award, Sonam says, “Harsh is one of Diljit Paaji’s biggest fans. Harsh’s objection was on technical not on creative grounds. Our father (Anil Kapoor) has always taught us to be appreciative of other actors’ works. We’ve grown up in an atmosphere where we have constantly heard other actors’ work being appreciated. Neither my brother nor I would ever feel resentful of the good work done by our colleagues.”
