Winner of 50 lakhs on Sach ka Saamna

Raj Thakur, a fitness trainer and an ex-Merchant Navy Officer did not hold back even for a single moment and confessed almost everything he had to. Raj Thakur, a contestant from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh broke all the records of the earlier seasons and became the first ever contestant on Sach Ka Saamna to win fifty lakhs.

Raj Thakur is the youngest child in his family. He is the son of a police man and the brother of a politician. These men, so closely associated with the law, never imagined to what extent the rules were being bent in their own home by “the baby of the family”. Raj Thakur’s episode is filled with revelations and confessions. What begins with seemingly simple questions such as “have you ever locked your teacher in the bathroom?”, goes on to become much more serious and sometimes even dangerous. Having always dismissed his mistakes at home his parents and brother begin to realise the repercussions of their negligence. A clever man, he changes his answers several times on the show. This unpredictable nature keeps one guessing about what Rajs’ next step will be right till the very end.

Dhoom 3 shooting begins

It is unfortunate that without checking, a leading morning broadsheet irresponsibly declared that the shooting of DHOOM:3 had been indefinitely postponed and that it would be shot after Aamir Khan completes certain other future commitments.Yash Raj films says this is absolutely baseless.

DHOOM:3 starts shooting in May 2012 and Aamir Khan joins the schedule in June as per plan.

Produced by Aditya Chopra, DHOOM:3 is written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who had also written DHOOM & DHOOM:2.

Apart from Aamir Khan, who plays the anti-hero in the film, and Katrina Kaif, both Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will continue in their now iconic roles of Jai Dixit and Ali.

  

The film is slated for a 2013 release.

Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar's predictions

One is a future star and the other one is already a legend in the game of cricket.

We ask our in-house expert and ace astro-numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi what the future holds for Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar. 

“Virat was born on 5^th November 1988 which makes him a Number 5 (Mercury) person in numerology. He is a Scorpion (ruler Mars – Number 9) and his ‘destiny’ number adds up to Number 6 (Venus)” explains Bhavikk.

“The year 2012 also sums to Number 5 and hence it will prove good for people born on these dates. In that context, Virat fits the bill just perfectly” adds Bhavikk.

“Also he is in his 24^th year which means his luck is at its peak and all the fame, glory, success he is achieving now is mainly thanks to his ‘stars’, besides of course hard work and dedication”.

“Besides that, his name also vibrates on Number 32 which is a lucky number associated with future events and it further cements the fact that how ‘numerology’ has played a significant role in the young man’s current achievements” justifies Bhavikk.

“On the other side, our master blaster Sachin Tendulkar who completed his 100^th hundred is currently running in his 39^th year (24^th April 1973) which is the best phase for him as Number 3, 6 and 9 is considered a ‘family of numbers’. The same form will continue in the upcoming IPL matches also” predicts Bhavikk.

“The date 16^th March 2012 when he achieved the enviable score summed up to Number 6 (Venus) and was a Friday – also ruled by the same number. On that day, he was simply unstoppable and on top of that, even his ‘destiny’ supported him as well”.

“The year 2013 is adding up to Number 6 which he is directly ruled by and hence Sachin should not even ‘think’ of retiring as he had earlier planned” advices Bhavikk.

“The future of Indian cricket is safe and secure in the hands of both these men” predicts Bhavikk on a positive note before signing off.

Akshay Kumar-Imran Khan together in film

When it was announced that Akshay Kumar had been signed up for the sequel of Balaji's Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, there was major excitement and curiosity about the unexpected choice of actor. The announcement was followed by months of speculation around who was going to play the parallel lead. 

The industry's most widely speculated casting has been revealed.

The makers have confirmed Imran Khan, who, with this one, bags a heavy-duty addition to his kitty of films. 

Riding high after a string of consecutive hits like Delhi Belly, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, Imran will make his first foray into a franchise product with the mammoth sequel.

According to trade sources, the film's formidable and unconventional casting has made it among the biggest and most keenly anticipated industry features.

Says director Milan Luthria, "The uniqueness of pairing Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi in the original made people sit up and applaud. By casting Akshay and Imran together for the first time, we've pulled off the casting coup of the year. Both the stars are diverse in their appeal, style and presence. Just like Akshay, Imran was electrified by the script that Rajat (Aroraa) and I have worked on!"   

According to producer Ekta Kapoor, "We couldn't have asked for a better actor than Imran to play Aslam. Not only does he fit the role to the tee but also enjoys an unprecedented fan following as a star. We welcome him to Balaji and look forward to working with him on the second edition of our franchise." 

The high-romance action-drama goes into production in July and releases early next year.

I love holi, it’s my favourite festival. I've always played very wild holi with my friends and family using tomatoes, eggs and colours.
