Lo Kar lo Baat, we are still in dilemma about Ash & Abhi getting married or not, who are invites and what will be the venue or food or Dulha-Dulhen ka jooda and things like that. And here comes one more shock Salman & Katrina got married. Abe jine do yaar, everyday someone getting married, I think the whole film industry is getting married or divorce. My suggestions to Salu would be that “please get married but on danke ki chot pe.” If you love someone, want to be with them for the rest of ur life, then what’s the bloody problem.

I don’t know what to say about Mandira Bedi, because when hear this name the frist thing hit my mind is a simple girl from very famous serial “Shanti”. A girl covered in cotton salwar kameez from her head to toe. And then the second image hit my mind is a sexy lady sitting in front of legend Kapil Dev interviewing him with a very very low cut blouse and a transparent saree on it.

I was shocked to read this article about father and son wrestling, who is this Arun Nayar? I guess nobody knows who he is and why Indian media started to give him such a big exposure,Let me guess I think only because he was having an affair with British actress Elizabeth Hurley and now he is married to her. BUt why throw your father out of your wedding? He is really a big NRI. And now the father Vinod Nayar has disowned his son Arun Nayar, an NRI businessman, saying the couple humiliated him and his relatives at their much-talked about wedding last month.It has now emerged that an unseemly wrestling match broke out in the middle of the sacred Hindu ceremony to ...
