    It is probably every actor’s dream to star in a magnum opus directed by the one person who does grandeur in cinema like no one else: Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The craft master behind movies like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas and Raam Leela has been busy for a very long time in prepping up for his next grand movie, Gangubai Kathiawadi, which stars Alia Bhatt in the lead role. In the background, for several years now, the title of Baiju Bawra has been floating in media outlets and B-town, with a lot of A-listers' names being associated with this big project.

    Rumour had it that Ranbir Kapoor was signed for this movie and this was actually also a catalyst of his reconciliation with his master SLB, who launched him with Saawariya opposite Sonam Kapoor.
    However, as per a few reports, RK is probably opting out of this project and the sources cited that “Ranbir has expressed his confusion to Bhansali and the team as well. He is not sure of Baiju Bawra and with another Dharma project in his kitty; RK doesn’t seem to be keen anymore on working with SLB again. Not many know that he did not have a great experience working with him during Saawariya and they have never done a film after that. So it’s most likely that Ranbir is going to opt-out of the project, although nothing was ever locked on papers”.

    Now, the news doing the rounds speak that none other than Kartik Aaryan might be filling these boots and will probably be working with the ace director.

    Kartik has been spotted at SLB’s office quite a few times now and looks like this will be an interesting project. Earlier Kartik fans were upset over the evident nepotism in Bollywood after reports of him being replaced in Dharma Productions Dostana 2 did the rounds. The original Baiju Bawra was based on a musician by that name and starred Bharat Bhushan playing the titular role opposite Meena Kumari.

    If we had a penny for every time a bizarre wedding takes place in the land of marriages, that is India, well, let's just say, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson would not be the only two men speeding off to outer space.

    For all the Indian culture that makes us significantly proud of our roots, one thing that we will probably never be able to gulp down is that our marriages are not just unions between two people but two different families.

    That is the reason, many a time, people are forced to be married to each other, just because their parents think it's the right call. Our society might not take too kindly to the idea of a blind date, but a blind marriage date? That's one thing that has been going on in our country for ages, and well, this recent example appears to be a bad example of just that.

    In what seriously was a bizarre incident to witness, a groom decided to flee his own wedding after seeing the bride's face at the function. 

    As per reports, the couple was set to tie the knot and everything was going fine at the function. However, suddenly during one of the ceremonies taking place at the wedding pavilion, the bride lost her balance and fell, revealing her face to the groom.
    We do not know what happened, but suddenly, the groom decided that he wanted no further part in the marriage, and took off his Sehra (headdress) and garland, to run away from the wedding.
    A video of the incident soon went viral on Instagram, with the reel showing a scared-looking groom speeding off from the wedding stage despite being held on to by some of the wedding guests.

    It almost felt like he saw a ghost or something, by the looks of how he suddenly decided to make a U-turn during such a big event.
    As per reports, his own family members tried stopping him, but to no avail. While nothing can be said for certain, it feels like the groom really was in for a surprise that he did not end up liking so much.
    We do feel really sorry for the bride though. (Such a shame!)

    We have all heard someone or the other say that before the British came to India, we were one of the richest countries in the world. Well, there is some truth to it. We had families that were so insanely rich, that they would make the Jeff Bezos & Elon Musks of the world look like paupers.

    © Wiki Commons
    We are of course speaking about the Jagat Seths, and simply put, they were the richest family in the world at one point. However, most of our history books, the ones we read in school, do not speak about them. Why though? Well, read on to find out.

    Who Were They? © Wiki Commons
    The Jagat Seths was actually a title bestowed upon a Marwari family based out of Murshidabad in the 1600s till the late 1770s. The most prominent members of this family were Seth Madhab Rai, and his cousin Maharaj Swaroop Chand, the last two scions of this empire. The family was established by a man called Hiranand Sahu, a jeweller who started lending money at an exorbitant rate and would only take land as collateral.

    The Seth family were not royalty per se, but they were connected to the Royals of Bengal. Historically, the family was basically into trading of fabrics, spices and artifacts. They eventually lending money to people, from which they made a huge fortune. They would often lend money to kings and kingdoms, as well as the British East Indian Company.
    How Rich Were They? © Wiki Commons
    Saying they were filthy rich would be like saying that Jeff Bezos owns peanuts. In today’s money, they had holdings that would be worth about 1000 Billion Pounds or more. Heck, British documents have shown that they had more money than all the banks in England combined. Some reports also estimate that the British economy back in the 1720s was smaller than the wealth the Jagat Seths had.

    To put things into perspective, consider this - they owned about half of the total land in undivided Bengal. Combine Assam, Bangladesh & West Bengal. They owned half of that.
    How Did They Make So Much Money? © Wiki Commons
    Hiranand’s son Manikchand Sahu, became very close to Murshid Quli Khan, who became the first Nawab of Bengal. By this point in time, the Sahus or the Seths, had an office in almost every major city in pre-independence India. Their offices were nothing short of the modern-day bank. They even had an internal communication system comprising of messengers and whatnot to enable transactions between two cities.

    The Nawab as well as the Britishers soon started using the Sahus to move money from one place to another. 
    They also financed the Portuguese, French & British colonial powers to wage wars against smaller kingdoms in certain portions of India, and they earned a lot of interest from this. 
    What Happened To Them? © Wiki Commons
    Because of their double-dealings with Indian kingdoms as well as the British, things got a little murky. Madhab Rai and his cousin Maharaj Swaroop Chand were captured and shot dead shortly before the Battle of Buxar in 1764 on charges of treason, by Mir Qasim. When he was shot, Madhab Rai was the richest man in India. Apparently, both of them funded the British East India Company in the Battle of Plassey, against the Nawab of Bengal. They also funded the Nawab’s army, but did not help them prepare against the firepower of the British Army. 

    Where Are They Now?After the death of Madhab Rai & Maharaj Swaroop Chand, the empire started collapsing. They lost control over much of the land they owned, and the money that the British East India Company borrowed from them, was never paid back. The final nail in the coffin for them was the revolt of 1857. By the 1900s, the Sahu Family or the Jagat Seths disappeared from the public eye. Much like the Mughals, their descendants are not known.

    Jalebi Baby is here and It’s enjoying its Despacito moment on the internet. Tesher and Jason Derulo, the self-styled Bollywood-Hollywood duo are taking the world by storm with Bhangra and generous servings of Jalebi Baby. But why are we so hyped for this song whereas previously songs with a desi twist such as Lean On and Hymn For The Weekend were panned for cultural appropriation?

    Here are three reasons why we don’t mind Jason Derulo doing the Bhangra To Jalebi Baby. 

    Sweet ConnectionBeyond being a certified hit maker, Jason Derulo also has a penchant for all things sweet. One look at his TikTok and Instagram will show you. His fans are often left astounded by the love this man has for candies, chocolates and what not. So when he chanced upon Jalebi Baby, he knew Tesher had a hit collaboration waiting to happen. A veteran of virality, Jason Derulo teased his fans with a feature on the track when he uploaded a video of him making jalebis at home. His followers went wild, especially the South Asian diaspora. He found a way to make his online persona work organically with the hook of the song. After all, it's not every day that we get one of the most iconic personalities on the internet genuinely fostering a desi connection.

    Dancer ExtraordinaireIf nothing else, Jason Derulo surely knows how to dance. Since his early career he’s made a name for himself with his electric dance moves. Whether it be Swalla or Talk Dirty To Me, his music videos have been fodder for several dance trends.
    Which is why people have been reacting feverishly to his latest collaboration with Tesher. Who would have thought we’d ever get to witness him doing something so desi? To top that off, he looks natural while doing Bhangra, and not like someone who’s taken a few classes before the music video was shot. In fact, with these dance moves and his global visibility, he’s given a newfound audience to Bhangra.

    Doesn’t Take The MicWhile conversations around the song might now involve his name, Jason doesn’t hog the limelight from his co-star Tesher. Even in the music video, Tesher and Jason Derulo are projected as equals, vying for the attention of a certain Jalebi Baby. In this way, he doesn’t pander to the saviour complex that most people from the western side of the globe suffer from, and are rightfully ridiculed for as well. Jason has shown nothing but a sincere appreciation and excitement for the culture, and we’re all here for that. The creator of the infectious hit, Tesher has also been overwhelmingly supportive of the way Jason has approached this collaboration, frequently commenting and bantering on the Talk Dirty To Me hitmaker's comment section on Instagram, hinting at a budding bromance.

    It’s refreshing to see the internet take so well to a collaboration and part of the reason is because they see Jason as someone who appreciates and respects the culture rather than someone who’s looking to make a quick buck out of it.

    The Indian film industry is notorious for often putting star status and exceptionally good looks before talent while casting for movies.  
    Brilliant actors who don’t hail from the film fraternity miss out on the chance of playing the lead, not because they can’t shoulder a film or because someone is better suited for the role, but simply because they don't have a godfather in Bollywood who could nudge the biggies to cast them as ‘the hero’.
    © Instagram/Jimmy Sheirgill
    These actors get minor roles in their kitty like the hero’s sidekick, ‘hero ka dost’ or the other man who ends up losing the girl to the hero, basically the ‘second lead’. 

    Some of these incredibly good actors have managed to prove their acting prowess through the supporting roles they’ve done and amassed a huge fan following. 
    However, their fans do want to see them as the main lead in the movies.

    Here are five such Bollywood actors who are too good for doing the supporting roles and deserve to play the leading man in the movies:

    1. Aparshakti Khurana © Instagram/Aparshakti Khurana
    Aparshakti Khurana made his debut with Dangal alongside Aamir Khan. From Stree to Lukka Chuppi, his performance as the supporting hero has been as entertaining as the main lead of the movies he has acted in. 

    After half a decade in the industry, he is finally going to play the lead in his next, Helmet but certainly deserves more attention from the casting directors of Bollywood. 
    2. Jimmy Sheirgill © Instagram/Jimmy Shergill
    It’s a surprise that such a terrific actor could never land a leading role in his career spanning over 20 years. 

    From Mohabattien to Tanu Weds Manu series, his natural and powerful acting has kept us hooked to the screens. He has made his mark in the Punjabi industry as the main lead, but Bollywood is still unable to see his talent. 
    3. Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub © Instagram/Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub
    The young actor has proved time and again how brilliant of an actor he is but how come we never have seen headlining a movie as the hero? 

    He has got the looks, the charm and incredible talent. What’s lacking? A godfather? Probably.  
    4. Deepak Dobriyal  © Instagram/Deepak Dobriyal
    He is one actor who is probably loved more than the main hero of the movie. His character Pappi in Tanu Weds Manu was the highlight of the movie, and so was Gopi in Angrezi Medium. 

    Anytime Deepak Dobriyal appears on screen, the audience cannot get enough of him. Yet, he hasn’t got the chance to lead a movie on his own. 
    5. Jim Sarbh  © Instagram/Jim Sarbh
    Something tells us that Jim Sarbh, who has always played either a drug dealer (Zubin Mistry Sanju) or a sidekick to the big bad villain (Khalil in Neerja and Malik Kafur in Padmaavat), has the knack for playing the lead in a romantic movie. 

    Can we see him playing anyone other than a second lead to a hero or the villain’s henchman?

    With the monsoon finally kicking in, at least here in Delhi, it may be time not just to get your clothes wet in the rain, but also your woman, who has had to struggle enough times in bed as you worked your way to her through a drought.

    You see, a woman’s vagina is like the weather, when it’s wet outside, it is time to go inside. However, many men proceed without caution and on dry land. And even though, I do understand how it can be awfully difficult sometimes to make your woman get wet, set and ready. It is far from being impossible. 

    Here are 6 tips that might just come in handy and help you...'water her plant':
    1. Whisper In Her Ears © iStock
    A rather underrated method to get your girl going, most women get turned on simply after listening to their man whisper softly in their ears. 

    Whether it is dirty talk, sweet nothings or simply telling them how much you like them or perhaps, how much you crave them, a whisper in the ear ALWAYS works like a charm. 
    2. Give Her A Handful © iStock
    Put your fingers to better use and go on a wild exploration of the caves. 

    Trace lines across her thighs, graze her softly and when the time comes, don’t be shy to let your fingers go fishing. Pro tip - the hook is a catch!
    3. 'Lip To Lip' Kiss © iStock
    Except we’re talking about the less conventional pair of lips, one that women carry between their thighs. 

    Ram your head in between her legs, flood her with kisses and let your tongue do the talking. Trust me, you’ll make it rain in no time!
    4. Exploit Her Weak Spot © iStock
    Every woman, including yours, has a weak spot, one that as soon as anyone touches will make a current run through her body. 

    For some, it may be their back, their feet, their neck or even their knees. Find out that one spot that makes them writhe in bed and while you’re stroking her, also graze her weak spot for definite results!
    5. Dry Humping © iStock
    As ironic as it may sound, it works. 

    The act of simply stimulating *** but withholding for the act, all the while grinding and teasing the woman is enough to let her body get prepared for what's to come. 
    6. Lube It Up © iStock
    Not most preferred but one that definitely guarantees moisture, using a lubricant is also a way to make your way down a woman’s slippery slope. 

    It not only helps the woman feel relaxed, not fearing for any friction, and will make your grand entry as smooth as possible.
