    After sharing the Indian dressing room for over a decade, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, are currently occupying two of the most high-profile cricket jobs in the country. While the former is the president of the world’s most powerful cricket board, the latter joined in as the head coach of the Indian cricket team last month.
    Having made their international debuts in the same match, both went on to play for India under each other’s captaincy and produced some terrific results. Their batting style was different from one another but there were quite a few other similarities between the two cricketers. Take for instance, the manner in which both of them got the India captaincy.

    Ganguly was handed the captaincy after the infamous match fixing allegations that led to the ban of several star players including former captain Mohammed Azharuddin. Dravid, on the other hand, got the leadership after Ganguly had a fallout with the then head coach Gragg Chappell.

    When you have shared the dressing for such a long time, there ought to be moments when you have contrasting opinions and the same holds true for both these stalwarts of the game. However, they never allowed it to affect their relationship.

    Whoever thought that after retiring from the game, they would stop pulling each other’s leg, couldn’t have been more wrong. The perfect example of that happened way back in 2014, when both these cricketers were engaged in friendly banter on lIve TV, while sharing the commentary box during India’s tour of England.

    It all began when Dravid joked about Ganguy’s bowling saying that the only reason why he didn’t bowl him more than Sachin Tendulkar was because he lacked fitness to bowl long spells and was also a tad slower, which made him less effective.

    “I am just trying to figure out how many overs I gave to Tendulkar and Ganguly. Maybe underbowled Ganguly there but Sachin has more Test wickets than Ganguly,” Dravid said, poking his former skipper.
    “That’s because he bowled half his overs on turning pitches in India. I wish I knew how to bowl a bit of spin,” Ganguly replied in his defence and even explained the reason why Tendulkar had more wickets to show for his efforts.
    The left-handed batter didn’t stop just there and added: “On good pitches you needed quality. Look at the economy. Perfect fifth bowler’s job.”

    “Sanjay Manjrekar made a really good point in the commentary box. If Ganguly had been a yard quicker and just a little bit fitter. He would’ve been a match winner,” said the current India head coach, making fun of Ganguly’s secondary skill set.

    The southpaw certainly didn’t like Dravid’s remarks and, with a rather grim face, commented: “I wish I was Prime Minister of India, could’ve done a whole lot of things different.”
    By now it was clear that what had started as a funny banter was anything but that, hence Harsha Bhogle, who was also sitting in the comm box, quickly said he was afraid of saying anything because he was afraid it had started to take the shape of “serious sledging”.

    Ganguly then reminded everyone about India’s famous win at Trent Bridge in 2007, which was their first Test win in England in 26 years and asked Dravid to share who did he fall back to in his moment of crisis when the hosts were going at over six runs an over.

    “I am not denying that. Absolutely not. I just made the point that if Ganguly didn’t get tired after five-six overs, I would have bowled him much longer spells,” said Dravid, which left everybody, except Dada, into splits.
    © Reuters
    Not the one to submit easily, Ganguly then turned to the production team and urged them to extract videos from that game which according to him was an “incredible spell” where he ended up bowling 10 overs on the trot and ended up picking one wicket conceding a meagre 15 runs.

    “I have seen biassed people. But not seen as much,” Ganguly said, accusing Dravid of being biassed towards players like Tendulkar.
    It started as a casual banter but it didn’t follow that course for long as Ganguly was certainly not happy with David questioning his fitness on Live TV in front of the whole world.

    In 2015, the release of SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali: The Beginning changed Indian cinema forever. 
    Predominantly a Telugu film that was also simultaneously shot in Tamil, Baahubali: The Beginning worked wonders at the box office in Hindi markets as well. 
    Moreover, the movie braved the Salman Khan blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which was released a week after Baahubali. 
    The Prabhas and Rana Daggubati starrer became the first South Indian film to earn over Rs 100 crore in Hindi markets. And in 2017, the release of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion broke the box office in India.

    The sequel earned over Rs 510 crore from its dubbed Hindi version. In comparison, no traditional Bollywood film has been able to cross the Rs 400 crore mark at the domestic box office. 

    The mega-success of Baahubali films inspired a lot of filmmakers to dream big. Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has mentioned how after announcing Brahmastra he saw Baahubali and decided to go back to the drawing board to make the Ranbir Kapoor starrer on a grand canvas. 
    A lot of other South Indian films also tried to duplicate the success of Baahubali by trying to enter the Hindi market. But not everyone succeeded.

    Chiranjeevi’s Telugu period actioner Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019) also featuring Amitabh Bachchan was a huge hit in South markets but failed miserably in Hindi belts. Kiccha Sudeepa’s Kannada film Pailwaan also featuring Suniel Shetty too went unnoticed in its Hindi dubbed version. 

    While Prabhas starrer Saaho turned out to be a success in Hindi, the appreciation was missing. Something similar can be said about Rajinikanth starrer 2.0’s Hindi version which was a success due to the credibility of its prequel and the presence of superstar Akshay Kumar. 
    The film was expected to be Tamil cinema’s answer to Baahubali but it couldn’t live up to the expectations. Nevertheless, its Tamil version was a huge success.

    If there was one film that was able to breach the Hindi markets similar to Baahubali films then it was the Kannada spectacle, KGF: Chapter 1. 

    The movie had low promotions in Hindi belts with no face value for the North Indian audience and was released alongside Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero. Despite all that, it slowly and steadily gained momentum at the box office and was able to earn close to Rs 50 crore. 
    It found more appreciation on its OTT release and now its sequel is one of the most awaited of all time. 
    So much so, that many trade analysts are also expecting KGF 2 to give a tough competition and even leave behind Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha. The presence of Sanjay Dutt as the main antagonist Adheera is also adding to the hype.

    Earlier this month saw the release of the first pan-India film from Malayalam cinema, Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea. The movie sank in Hindi markets without a trace. 

    Recently, another South Indian film opted for a pan-India release in between. Titled Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1, the Telugu film starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandana was touted to be the actor’s biggest film yet. 
    It was also positioned as his big entry into the Hindi speaking markets. However, owing to almost zero promotions and the hurricane that is Spider-Man: No Way Home, Pushpa couldn’t get the grand release it may have hoped for. 
    The reviews of the film were average at best but Pushpa was surprised in Hindi markets and how. The movie opened just about fine but saw a rise in its collections as the weekend progressed. 
    Moreover, its first Monday saw more collections than its opening day which is a rarity. After week one, Pushpa has collected a solid Rs 26.89 crore.

    While Pushpa is breaking records in Telugu states, it is also on course to be a success in Hindi markets. And the credit for its success goes to Allu Arjun. He is already a known face in North India due to the popularity of his Hindi dubbed Telugu films on TV. 

    Now, Pushpa: The Rule has been announced for a December 2022 release, it has to be seen how well the prequel will be received by the audience upon its OTT release. 
    If it goes the KGF way, then Pushpa part 2 will definitely be ruling the box office come December 2022. And Allu Arjun will be the new pan-India star joining Prabhas and Yash. 
    The new year will see a number of other pan-India releases including RRR, Radhe Shyam, Salaar, Adipurush, Liger and Brahmastra.

    During the early 90s and way into the 2000s, Saif Ali Khan was among those Bollywood actors who were famous for being the 'chocolate boys' of the industry.
    Whether it was blood-filled letters from fans or just fans sneaking into his home to find him, there have been plenty of crazy incidents around him, all because of his popularity in the films business.

    Now, another such incident that surfaced was an early 90s one, which will probably give you goosebumps.

    As we know how dangerous it can be for celebrities to roam around in public without bodyguards, unfortunately for Saif, things could have been very, very deadly.
    According to reports, Saif was almost killed by a man in Delhi back in 1994.
    Yep! Crazy, right?
    Well, what happened was that reportedly, Saif had been in Delhi for the premiere of his movie Mai Khiladi Tu Anari, which had starred Akshay Kumar, Raageshwari and Shilpa Shetty.
    © Prime Video
    However, it was later that Saif was caught up in a very sticky situation.

    Speaking in an old interview, Saif had said that two girls had approached him for a dance, but he denied their request.
    What followed next was absolutely crazy.
    “This (the girls asking for a dance) kept happening for a while. Then we said ‘please leave us’. Their boyfriends came, and we told them to handle the situation, we don’t want to talk to anyone… He didn’t like it and said, ‘you have a million-dollar face I am going to spoil it,” said Saif.
    Saif, while speaking with Neha Dhupia some time back on the chat show No Filter Neha, said that the man had approached the actor to dance with his girlfriend.
    However, when he refused, the man hit him with a whiskey glass.
    “We ended up in the bathroom, and I was wiping my wound because it was bleeding a lot. So, there was a flood of blood, I thought I don’t know what’s happened, so I was wiping it with water, I looked at him and ‘I said look what you did’, as in let’s make up now and he attacked me with the soap dish. So, he was a lunatic, and he might have killed me,” Saif said.
    I mean, we kind of knew that Delhi Bar fights hit different, but this one was scary nonetheless.
    We're glad you're safe, Saif! I mean, you really must have used some emotional memory to say, "Dilli Se Hu Bc!"

    (SPOILER ALERT)
    Spider-Man: No Way Home was one movie we totally wanted, the one we deserved, but didn't expect that we would actually get it.
    The movie with its Multiverse concept brought some really old faces back to cinema screens, a thing that we'd all been looking for excitingly.
    © Marvel Studios
    This was, without a doubt one of the most exciting and biggest MCU films to date, with some more to follow soon.

    Now, one big movie that would certainly excite fans would be the Avengers: Secret Wars with the project expected to introduce some really big characters. 
    Let's take a look at who could be back for the film:
    1. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine © Disney+ Hotstar
    Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is one character that has been rumoured to return in Benedict Cumberbatch's Dr Strange: Multiverse of Madness.

    Now, while that may just be a small appearance, it has been rumoured that the character could finally have a big role in Avengers: Secret Wars.
    Having retired from the role in Logan, it would be amazing to see Hugh return alongside other MCU characters on the big screen.
    2. Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool

    There’s no denying trainers definitely do make working out an easier experience. Sometimes, the experience at the gym really matters when it comes to getting the best out of your workouts. Which is why there’s usually a gym-buff or two ready to dole out advice to amateurs who just seem to get the various movements right. You might think it’s simple, but there are more ways to do a movement incorrectly than correctly, and that can impact the results you get in the long run.

    Over the years, with dedicated hours at the gym, everyone gains some experience where they’re able to pass on the baton to the next newbie. Even though most celebrities may have started working out with their own fitness trainers (and may still train under one), there are some who have clearly stood apart due to their dedication and discipline. 
    According to us, all of these fitness disciples are good enough to launch a successful alternate career as fitness trainers. After all, who wouldn't workout with a celebrity?

    7. Ranveer Singh We’re not gonna lie, Ranveer Singh is seriously fit. And has been for a while now. However, does that automatically mean the 83 actor can effortlessly transition into an adept trainer? Unfortunately, not. While he may bring a lot of energy to your training sessions, his chatty personality would mean you’d spend more time talking than training. He’d make a better post-gym buddy, though. The one you hangout with after a grueling session at the gym.

    6. Sonu SoodOne only needs to look at the Dabanng actor’s Instagram profile to know that he’d be a cool veteran to have at the gym. The way he trains with his son Eshaan shows, he’d not just make an excellent trainer, but a terrific spotter as well.

    5.Tiger Shroff There isn’t a single move at the gym that Tiger Shroff wouldn’t have aced. Such is his well rounded approach to fitness. Whether it be dancing your way to sweat, or breaking your PR (Personal Record) at the deadlift, Tiger would be there for you. However, he does seem a bit like a lost puppy around his beau, so try getting him to train with you at a different gym.

    4. Prithviraj  SukumaranPrithviraj brings to this list some much needed old school, not overly ripped, sort of appeal. Although he’s publicly shy, and goes about his ways with minimal fuss. So you’re looking at a trainer, who’s going to quietly overlook your progress without interfering at the drop of a hat.

    3. Hrithik Roshan Sure. Our Desi Adonis would be a dream to train with. Hrithik has, after all, inspired legions of Indian men to sculpt themselves at the gym. But the chances of you fanboying over him are bound to kick in at some point. When that happens, remember to focus on your training.

    2. John AbrahamIf you’re looking at becoming the biggest guy at the gym, then John should be your choice of sensei. Training with him would be akin to training with utmost discipline. You better not miss a single day of training because of illness, lest the War actor remind you that one time he turned up to the gym despite having had a road accident. Know to draw your personal boundaries with him.

    1. Vidyut Jammwal Vidyut’s appeal is different from the rest of the people on the list. Training with him would be akin to climbing aboard the train headed to the pinnacle of human fitness. The Sanak star would bring more to the table than just your regular day at the gym, his exceptional prowess over various martial arts, especially the ancient art of Kalaripayattu. So he’d make an excellent Yoda to your gymly Luke Skywalker.  
    Who according to you would make the ideal gym-trainer for you? Let us know in the comments.

    Every person in this world, whether they agree or not, has a kink that they can’t deny. For some it could be an obsession with the feet, for others it could be a fondness for role play.  
    But today what we’re going to talk about is people who get turned on by making out in unconventional places.

    via GIPHY
    Having *** on the bed is good, great even, but for a lot of people going the extra mile and having *** in an unlikely place, comes rather naturally. And one thing other than a kink, that might drive this behaviour is your star sign.
    Here is a list of zodiac signs that like to have *** in unconventional places:
    1) Cancer © iStock
    Owe it to their fixation towards having shower *** (considering they are water babies) or the fact that a Cancerian knows how to add flavour to their sexual endeavours, but people from this sun sign would always be up to amp things up and catch you off guard by proposing to have *** in the most unconventional places.

    2) Leo © iStock
    Leos love to assert control and that includes taking charge of things, even in bed. It is their taste for drama and OTT that drives them to try something out of the ordinary and do it right! 

    This sun sign could be spotted getting hot at even the idea of doing something adventurous. 
    3) Virgo © iStock
    This is a sign that likes to have ‘almost’ experiences. And by that, we mean, ‘almost getting caught’. 

    Anything that would involve thrill and an adrenaline rush would entice a Virgo more than anything, which is why if you ever catch someone getting frisky in an unlikely place, chances are that it would be a Virgo!
    4) Aquarius © iStock
    People from this star sign are both - blessed with and enticed by everything that is sexual and of an experimental nature. 

    *** against the window? They’re up for it. *** in a public washroom, they’ll be there with a sanitiser. *** in the pool? They’ll show you how it’s done. 
    Aquarians love to explore their options and that is what makes them perfect for this list!

    Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been away from the silver screen ever since the release of Fanney Khan in 2018 and her fans are eagerly waiting for her next film. She is counted among the most gorgeous actresses in Bollywood and has also proved her mettle as an actor. After making her Bollywood debut with Aur Pyar Ho Gaya in 1997, the actress went on to deliver memorable performances in various films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, and Taal among others. 
    View this post on Instagram
    Everyone is aware that Aishwarya participated in Miss India 1994 beauty pageant and was declared as the first runner-up after she lost her crown to Sushmita Sen. In the same year, she won the title of Miss World. However, did you know that she already had several film offers in her kitty even before she participated in the beauty pageants? 
    In fact, she was supposed to make her Bollywood debut with the Aamir Khan-starrer Raja Hindustani. Yes, you read that right! Aishwarya was initially approached to play the lead role in Dharmesh Darshan's hit film. But, she declined the offer only to participate in the Miss India contest.
    View this post on Instagram
    In 2012, during a Vogue interview , the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil actress had confirmed the same. At that time, she had said, "I’m often cited as the person who established the beauty pageant-to-films route, but that was not the case with me. I had at least four film offers [before the pageants]. In fact, I decided to participate in Miss India to step back from the film industry for a bit. If I hadn’t taken part in Miss India, Raja Hindustani [1996] would have been my first film".

    Only after her refusal, the makers went to Karisma Kapoor who finally played the lead role opposite Aamir in the blockbuster. Raja Hindustani was released in 1996 and Karisma was highly appreciated for her performance. She even won her first Filmfare Best Actress Award for the role.
    Coming back to Aishwarya, she will next be seen in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan. The historical drama will be released in two parts and the first installment will reportedly be out next year. The film is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1995 novel of the same name and chronicles the rise of the Chola rulers.

    Bollywood has given us some really unrealistic scenarios that make us yell aisa sirf filmo mein hota hai at the TV screen. 
    Be it the hero coming back from the dead to avenge his death or college students doing everything but study, there have been many things that happen only in movies and never in real life.  
    © Yash Raj Films
    However, Hindi cinema can be more realistic than we give it credit for, sometimes of course. From realistic movie endings to believable scenarios, there have been a bunch of times where movie scenes got real. 

    We are not talking about films based on real-life movies, just BTW. The classic scenes and plots that may sound too filmy have been experienced by people in real life too. 
    © Dharma Productions
    Here are five such classic movie scenarios that actually happen more often than we realise:

    1. Meet Cute Stories  © Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Limited
    People finding their happily ever after in a queue, a bookstore or the most random places is not unheard of. 

    As unbelievable and filmy as they might sound, it happens almost every day that people stumble into someone, fall in love and get married.   
    2. The Hero Saves The Day © Yash Raj Films
    The heroic scene where someone swoops in and saves a life just at the right moment happens more often in real life than we realise. 

    Be it a common person who is at the right place at the right time or the saviours like doctors, policemen or rescue officers, the real heroes save the day.    
    3. Someone Becoming Rich Overnight © Eros Entertainment
    Be it by winning the lottery or by winning a huge cash prize in a game show (looking at you, KBC), people in real life do go from rags to riches in a day. 

    It may not happen just like the movies where the hero becomes a billionaire in revenge for his girlfriend leaving him for a richer man or by selling their husband, but it does happen and it’s awesome. 
    4. Reuniting With Loved Ones After Years © Dharma Productions
    The classic plot for the movies of the yesteryears, people getting lost and reuniting accidentally after years, have actually happened to a lot of us in real life. 

    Call it destiny or perks of social media, people reunite with their long lost friends and family just like they show in movies.    
    4. Cliffhangers © Viacom 18 Motion Pictures
    Many times we wish we were in a movie so we could find out why a friend stabbed you in the back or why that ex left or what on earth happened to the earphones we lost and never saw again. 

    The only difference is that as suspenseful as the cliffhangers are in movies and series, they are really annoying when they happen to us in real life.

    In the last few years, the Hindi film industry has upped its game in terms of storytelling and pushing the boundaries. 
    There was a time when Bollywood was all about song and dance, however, ever since the release of Baahubali: The Beginning more filmmakers are taking inspiration from the film and announcing grand projects. 
    The year 2022 will see some of the biggest films coming out of Bollywood that include Brahmastra, Laal Singh Chaddha, Pathan and Tiger 3. On the other hand, there were also other films that were announced amidst massive hype but eventually got shelved for various reasons. 
    Take a look at 8 such popular Hindi films that were shelved: 
    1. InshallahStarring Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt in the lead role, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah’s announcement had immediately made it one of the most awaited films of all time. 
    The film was slated for Eid 2020 release. However, just three days before it was supposed to go on floors, Salman Khan took to Twitter to announce that it has been shelved. 
    He had tweeted, “The film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is pushed but I will still see you all on Eid, 2020. Insha-Allah!!” 
    The film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is pushed but I will still see you all on Eid, 2020. Insha-Allah!!
    — Salman Khan (@BeingSalmanKhan) August 25, 2019
    Later in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Salman had stated, “Nothing changes between us as friends and I’m sure nothing has changed in Sanjay’s heart for me. I’m extremely close to his mother (Leela) and sister (Bela). I wish him all the best. He and I will still work in future on a film, Inshallah.”
    Sanjay Leela Bhansali then went ahead with his leading lady Alia Bhatt and made Gangubai Kathiawadi.
    2. Chanda Mama Door KeBack in 2017, Sanjay Pooran Singh Chauhan’s space film Chanda Mama Door Ke was announced starring Sushant Singh Rajput and R Madhavan. 
    It was also reported that Nawazuddin Siddiqui too is a part of the project. 
    © Twitter/Taran Adarsh
    For the training of the film, Sushant and Madhavan had even visited NASA. However, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was nowhere to be seen. 

    Later, in an interview with BollywoodLife, he had stated, “I haven't had a conversation with the makers whether I am doing the film or not! I have not been officially signed.” 
    The movie was supposed to go on floors by September 2017 but due to unforeseen circumstances, it couldn’t happen. A year later, Sushant walked out of the film. 
    His team had said in a statement to PTI, “Since there was a lot of up and down in this film, Sushant will not be able to give his dates to this project since he has his hands full with many projects.” 
    Earlier this year, the director had stated that he still wants to make the film and it will be a tribute to the late Sushant Singh Rajput, who passed away in 2020. 
    3. Crack After working in films like Baby and Special 26, Neeraj Pandey and Akshay Kumar announced their third collaboration as director and actor - Crack. 
    The psychological thriller was announced in 2016 with a first look poster for an Independence Day 2017 release.

    However, later the film didn’t take off and instead, Akshay released Toilet: Ek Prem Katha on the announced date. There were rumours of a fallout between Akshay and Neeraj. 
    But, in a 2020 interview with Mumbai Mirror, Pandey refuted the rumours of fallout and stated, “It’s on the back-burner with no immediate plans of revival. I was not happy with the script, but if I manage to crack something good in the future, I might (revive it).” 
    4. PaaniFilmmaker Shekhar Kapur has a long history of shelved films. The filmmaker, in the early ‘00s, had envisioned his mega-budget Paani with Hrithik Roshan in the lead. 
    The movie was later announced officially in 2010 at the Cannes Film Festival. And later in 2013, it was announced that now Sushant Singh Rajput has replaced Hrithik in the film and it will be backed by Yash Raj Films.

    However, in December 2016, Shekhar Kapur tweeted that Paani is shelved. 

    His tweet read, “Am as devastated as u that Paani did not get made @itsSSR but I've never met an actor that worked so hard in preparing for a part as you did.”

    — Shekhar Kapur (@shekharkapur) December 20, 2016
    Sushant had later responded, “I will be ever obliged to you sir for things I have learned or rather 'unlearned' because of you. Respect.”

    After Sushant’s untimely demise in 2020, Shekhar stated in a tweet that if Paani is ever made, it will be his tribute to the young actor. 
    5. ShuddhiIn early 2013, Karan Johar had announced Shuddhi to be directed by Karan Malhotra of Agneepath fame. It was also reported that the movie will star Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead roles. However, Hrithik walked out of it and Kareena too followed. 

    Later, reports of stars like Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone joining the film were floated but nothing materialised. 
    In 2015 during the release of Baahubali: The Beginning, Karan was asked about Shuddhi. He stated, “Oh my god, oh my god, I am folding my hands and bowing down to you all, stop asking me questions about Shuddhi. I don't know what kind of bad omen the movie is going through, I am not able to make it.” 
    6. Aankhen 2Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Aankhen 2 was announced in 2016 at a grand event. The other star cast of the film included stars like Anil Kapoor and Arshad Warsi. It was supposed to be directed by Anees Bazmee.

    Later, the film went through several casting changes. At one point, it was reported that it will now feature Sidharth Malhotra and Akshaye Khanna along with Big B and will be helmed by Abhinay Deo. 

    But, earlier this year, Deo made it clear in an interview with Spotboye that the film is shelved as Amitabh Bachchan is no longer interested in being a part of it.

    In 2010, Rajkumar Santoshi announced his multistarrer Power starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. 

    The muhurat of the film also happened. But, later it couldn’t move ahead beyond the announcement stage. It was reported that date issues of its lead cast was the major reason
    8. Here Pheri 3In 2015, Hera Pheri 3 was announced at a media event. The film was supposed to mark the return of Suniel Shetty’s Shyam and Paresh Rawal’s Babu Rao. And Akshay Kumar was replaced by John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan.

    In fact, in the same year, the shoot of the film had also begun with Abhishek posting about it on social media. However, according to a TOI report, due to financial issues, the movie was shelved.

    In 2016, when Abhishek was asked about Hera Pheri 3, he told IANS, “I am not going to be doing that film anymore.” When further asked about the reason, he replied, “It just didn't work out.”   
    There are also recent films like Karan Johar’s Takht, Aditya Dhar’s The Immortal Ashwatthama and Mahesh Mathai’s Saare Jahaan Se Achcha aka Salute, that have been put on the back burner for various reasons.

    This is the time of the year when all you want to do is snuggle in a blanket, with a hot beverage and cancel all plans because it’s too cold outside. 
    However, winter not only messes up your social life but your grooming game too.

    You might have noticed that come winter, your skin problems worsen. However, dry cold air in winters is not only harsh on your skin but your hair too. 

    It takes a toll on your tresses and makes your existing hair woes worse and invites a few other issues too.

    Here are four such common winter hair problems that most men struggle with and how to keep them in check:

    1. Dandruff © iStock
    Winter can make the scalp dry which can worsen the dandruff problem. 

    It happens because since your scalp gets dry, your scalp produces more sebum to compensate for the natural oils lost. The result is flaky scalp aka dandruff. 
    Wash your hair every two days, hydrate and don’t use very hot water. Use lukewarm water to wash hair.   
    2. Flyaways & Hat Hair © iStock
    Static is a friend to none and it messes up your hair game regardless of the texture and health of your hair. 

    Wearing beanies and winter caps are cool until you take them off and are left with annoying flyaways or flat hat hair. It can also lead to hair breakage. 
    Switch your woollen and acrylic hats to cotton hats and use dry shampoo to add bounce. 
    3. Oily Scalp © iStock
    People who are blessed with oily hair may notice that their hair gets greasy more often than ever. 

    It’s really annoying but that’s what winters do to your hair. It aggravates hair problems. As far as the oily scalp problem is concerned, you can keep it in check by regularly washing hair and keeping it clean as much as possible.   
    4. Frizz & Dryness © iStock
    The dry winter air strips the natural moisture of your scalp, leaving it dry and dull. The hair strands lose lustre and become brittle and frizzy. 

    To combat this problem and keep your hair healthy and moisturised, nourish it with a hydrating oil. Do this every week.

    There’s something different about Abhishek Bachchan that makes him stand out from his contemporaries. He has always been compared to his father Amitabh Bachchan which we feel is unfair as he has his space and he has given us praiseworthy performances in Yuva and Guru. It’s his honesty and humble nature that makes him a class apart and shows his perfect upbringing.

    In one of the interviews with Ranveer Allahbadia, Abhishek revealed how he had to drop out of college because his father Amitabh Bachchan was going through a financial crisis. Big B was on the brink of bankruptcy in 1999 when his venture, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd (ABCL), faced major losses. Amitabh had revealed that he owed Rs 90 crore to different people. Back then, Abhishek was studying in Boston and he chose to quit college in order to support Big B.

    Abhishek Bachchan bared it all out in The Ranveer Show podcast. He shared, “Well, truth be told, I left university -- I was studying at Boston University. I had declared my major as liberal arts, and then I majored in performing arts. And I left my education because my father was going through this really rough time, financially. He had started this business called ABCL.”
    Here’s the full interview: 

    He further added, “I don't think I was qualified to help him in any which way, but I just felt that as a son, I needed to be around my father and help in whatever way. So I left my college and came back. I started helping him in his company.” Abhishek stated that his father told Yash Chopra that his films or business aren’t working in his favour, "Look, I don't have a job, nobody is giving me work anymore, my movies aren't working, and I've come to ask you to please give me a film to work in,” said Junior Bachchan. That was when he was offered Mohabbatein. He also began hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati and the rest is history.

    Recently, Brut shared a section of the video from the podcast and people started to troll Abhishek as they said at least he and his father had the privilege to talk to Chopra and others don’t have the luxury.

    We feel it’s unfair to troll him this brutally as he has bared his heart out in this conversation.  

    On the professional front, he recently entertained his fans with his act in Diya Annapurna Ghosh's directorial venture Bob Biswas. Abhishek is playing the titular role in the spin-off to the 2012 film Kahaani. His character is inspired by Saswata Chatterjee's character in Vidya Balan's cult thriller.
