During the Indian Premier League 2022 match between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders, one of the bigger talking points had to be the seemingly unending IPL struggles for the Team India captain, Rohit Sharma. Having faced just 12 balls, Sharma had to walk back to the dressing room after the in-form pacer Umesh Yadav tricked the MI skipper with a short ball around off. Sharma went for the bait and tried playing his ever-favourite pull. View this post on Instagram However, instead of connecting with the middle of the bat, the ball nicked a top-edge and went straight into the gloves of Sam Billings, the KKR wicketkeeper, who made no mistake securing the catch. In the three matches that Sharma has played for Mumbai Indians so far, the skipper has managed to put up just 54 runs as their opener. 41 of those runs came from his knock against Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals in the first match of the season. View this post on Instagram Worried about the Hitman and his struggling form, a lot of viewers of Indian cricket believe that Sharma should simply follow what Virat Kohli did following the 2021 season of the tournament when he decided to give up his captaincy in order to simply focus on becoming a better batter without taking stress about off the field bureaucracy. And even though Kohli has not looked like his younger self in the first three matches that he has played for the Bengaluru squad so far in the 2022 season, fans and experts have noticed that he is a lot calmer and stress-free and seems to be enjoying himself a lot more than he was for the past few years. Rohit Sharma fans believe that even he could use some time off the leadership responsibilities. Think Rohit Sharma should hand over his captaincy to SKY immediately and play freely as a player…Got too much on his plate to handle… if you want his best let him be a free man — Samip Rajguru (@samiprajguru) April 6, 2022 Amid such discussions catching fire on Twitter, Suryakumar’s action-packed return to the tournament against Kolkata had people talking about how he should be Sharma’s successor as the MI skipper, especially because of the number of times he has put the franchise on his shoulder and won matches practically on his own. He can't handle pressure of intl. As well as IPL — Hariom Gujjar (@hariomgujjar_) April 6, 2022Good to see there is someone who has courage to speak the truth.. & Other one who speaks d truth is @SushantNMehta .. But some people just r spreading agendas..@vikrantgupta73 — G oat (@viratgrt18) April 6, 2022Totally agree with you. Some player excel with pressure like Virat Kohli and some fail with extra pressure like Rohit Sharma. — Elton (@elton_vr1) April 6, 2022As a player he is already finished in 2016. — Balu (@escn__) April 6, 2022However, not everyone was in agreement with the notion of Rohit Sharma stepping down as the MI captain, especially because he has led the franchise to the most number of championship wins in the history of the tournament (5) while also holding the most number of individual championships (6). If he can handle pressure on the biggest stage of the ipl and get mi it's 5th ipl title , I'm sure he can handle that "captaincy pressure" to win MI more titles in the future as well pic.twitter.com/pzddv7eAML — NAMAN_45 (@EashZen) April 6, 2022Take This Ratio From pic.twitter.com/RrvAhZwuDH — Shailendra Mishra (@imShail_3) April 6, 2022Kaha se aate yeh log Rohit has won 5 trophies and he is indian captain... — Meethi Mirchi KKR (@cold_toffee) April 6, 2022Cool down guys....Now haters are in their prime form And when Rohit's form will back their prime form ( hate) will cool down and they will disappear...this guy is amazing them — Soumyajit Rout (@Soum2Rout) April 6, 2022 View the full article

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has revealed that there came a time when he decided to quit the film industry. As you know, Aamir's career runs all the way back to the 1980s when he made his star debut in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1998), and he hasn't looked back since, having made some terrific movies throughout his more than three-decade-long career. © Netflix Now, while the actor is known as Mr. Perfectionist for choosing the right films he wants to be a part of, he reveals that he almost put a stop to all of it. While making an appearance at the ABP Ideas of India event in Mumbai on Saturday (March 26), Aamir revealed how he had been thinking a lot about his life in the last couple of years. He revealed that he had gained a lot of weight during the pandemic and how he had regrets about not spending a lot of time with his kids and family for so many years. This was the reason he contemplated quitting Bollywood. © Instagram/Aamir Khan “I feel like I've spent my life chasing my dreams and trying to fulfill them. But during this journey, I didn’t pay attention to my loved ones. My parents, my siblings, my children, my first wife Reena, my second wife Kiran, their parents… Perhaps I couldn’t devote enough time to them. My daughter is now 23. I am sure she must have missed my presence in her life when she was younger. She will have had her own anxieties, fears, dreams, and hopes. I wasn’t there for her, I know this now. I didn’t know her dreams and fears and hopes, but I knew the fears and dreams and hopes of my directors.” “We know we will run out of time one day, but we don’t know when. I had a sharp realization about this, and that I’ve lived my life in some sort of trance, and I’ve lost a lot because of this.” “And I was not there,” said Aamir. The actor also spoke on how when he decided to quit acting, his children convinced him not to. “(My children said) You’ve spent more time with us in three months than you ever have, leave us alone now,” © BCCL He also revealed how a tearful Kiran also told him to think otherwise as he had loved acting more than anything. Well, we're glad Aamir didn't quit and will be seen in his upcoming Laal Singh Chaddha film and might even star in the Andaz Apna Apna sequel. Source: Indian Express View the full article

MS Dhoni surprised many by standing down as CSK captain ahead of the IPL 2022 season, and former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has also expressed his thoughts on the topic. The former captain of the Indian cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni decided to give up his captaincy of the Chennai Super Kings mere two days ahead of their season opener against Kolkata Knight Riders. The leadership went into the very capable and trusted hands of all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Official Statement #WhistlePodu #Yellove @msdhoni @imjadeja — Chennai Super Kings (@ChennaiIPL) March 24, 2022 Apart from the loyal Dhoni fans, most of the members of the cricketing fraternity welcomed this decision with open arms and congratulated Jadeja on the well-deserved promotion. However, former Pakistani cricketer and fast-bowl legend Shoaib Akhtar seems to be having a tough time wrapping his head around the main reason behind Dhoni’s announcement to quit captaincy so close to the tournament and not making it official well in advance like it usually happens. View this post on Instagram Was Dhoni’s age a factor? Did he want to simply take a backseat and focus on his wicketkeeping and batting as Virat Kohli did following the 2021 season? Was this a result of fallout within the CSK family? The official press release shared by the franchise does not state the reason clearly. In a conversation with Sportskeeda, Akhtar expressed his surprise while not taking any credit away from Jadeja and his abilities as a cricketer and a leader. According to the Rawalpindi Express, while Jadeja will continue to do his best to take CSK to success, it was Dhoni’s unique mind that made him a captain like no other. View this post on Instagram Eventually, the only logical explanation that the retired speedster could think of was that Dhoni was mentally drained as the skipper and wanted to play as ‘one of the teammates’ instead of getting involved with everything from the bureaucracy behind closed doors to dealing with umpires about over rates. Turns out giving up the captaincy is already doing wonders for Dhoni as he managed to strike a half-century for the first time in three seasons and looked like having fun on the ground. Unfortunately for Jadeja, his tenure as the CSK leader started with a loss but with the kind of roster he has around him and Dhoni’s mastermind available at his service, there is no doubt that the reigning champions will bounce back sooner than imagined.

Katrina Kaif, who is currently among the most successful Bollywood actresses, made her acting debut with Kaizad Gustad's Boom in 2003. While the film flopped at the box office, she continued working hard and Namastey London (2007) proved to be a turning point in her career. Starring Akshay Kumar as the male lead, the film turned out to be a huge success and Katrina too received positive reviews for her performance in it. View this post on Instagram However, did you know that the actress was ready to quit acting before the release of Namastey London? Yes, you read that right! Reportedly, she watched the film before its release and felt that it would be a disaster. Recalling the same on Koffee With Karan a few years ago, the Race star had said, "When I saw the film, I was terrified. Vipul (Amrutlal Shah, director) showed it to me and said, ‘What do you think?’ I didn’t call him back. You know, when a director shows the actress a film, you have to give him feedback. I took off home, shut the door and didn’t give him a call". Vipul's assistant later called her, saying the filmmaker was upset that she had not given her feedback. "I called him and I said, ‘Hi Vipul.’ He asked, ‘What do you think?’ I said, 'Nice, very nice film. Okay, bye'," she added. Katrina thought Namastey London would be the end of her acting career. She stated, "I just saw too much of me in the film and you start believing what people say. I was like, 'No, no, no, people can’t see me in a film, they won’t watch the film, it’s a disaster. This is over, my life is over.' I was like, 'I am packing my bags and I am going to find a new career'". But, fate had other plans and the film gave Katrina's career a new lease of life. After its release, Namastey London got critical as well as commercial success. Talking about the positive response, she further said, "That was really nice, it was really important for me because I think it did change people’s perception. It was the first time I got so many calls even from the industry, from directors saying, ‘I think you did pretty well in the movie". After Namastey London, Katrina went on to deliver consecutive hits like Apne, Partner, Welcome, Race, and Singh Is Kinng. Initially, she was considered just a pretty face, however, with films like New York, Rajneeti, and Zero, the actress proved that she can act too. On the career front, Katrina was last seen in Rohit Shetty's Sooryavanshi which turned out to be the first big Bollywood hit after the theatres reopened amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Her current lineup includes Phone Bhoot, Merry Christmas, Tiger 3, and Jee Le Zara. View the full article

There weren't many actresses who made as big an impact as Amrita Rao right after their debut. I mean, in all honesty, Amrita made her presence felt while doing her first film alongside Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor, with both actors making their debut in 2003's Ishq Vishk. © Netflix It was just the start for Amrita, however, who eventually starred opposite Shahid in other movies as well, with Vivaah being one of them. Not only that, Amrita then starred in the very popular Main Hoon Na alongside Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, with the movie being a big hit with fans and critics. © Netflix As things went, Amrita felt like she was right where she wanted in Bollywood, however, when you look back at all the time that has passed, you won't see the talented actresses starring in many. Well, this is because, to the surprise of her fans, Amrita called it quits from Bollywood. But why? For an actress who was so popular once wanted to star in a big YRF banner film, why did Amrita choose to cut short her career? Well, the actor herself revealed the answer to this question. Amrita, who was last seen in Thackeray (2019) revealed that she revealed the decision was due to a mix of reasons. It was reported that her husband RJ Anmol had asked her to quit films, and when asked about it, here is what she said. © Instagram/Amrita Rao “That’s true. At that point, Anmol could see I was declining some huge movie offers only because I wasn’t comfortable doing kissing scenes and lovemaking sequences on screen. Hence, he thought it was the right time to focus on exploring a beautiful personal life and tying the knot. He did ask me to quit my career and I was completely shattered. However, in a day or two, he told me that in hindsight, he realized that demand was unreasonable and that he was sorry about it.” said Amrita while speaking to TOI. Really sad when you think about it. I mean, she really had all the talent in the world and her fans clearly loved watching her in films. But you never know, maybe she will mark a comeback soon...

If you think about the crazy action movies and comedy in Bollywood, you know there is one actor who is unmatched in both those genres. Akshay Kumar! The Dilli-ka-Munda made his debut way back in the 80s, and coming into the industry as an outsider, has done exceptionally well. He's cemented his place as Bollywood's elite and now commands the highest salary that Bollywood has to offer. © Netflix Akki is a blockbuster-getter, which means that whatever he touches sure turns to gold, and this is the reason why he always has so many offers in a year. All of us almost see the actor deliver 4-5 movies in a calendar year, meaning that he's swamped with work all the time. Recently Kriti Sanon, who's worked with Akshay on a lot of projects and will be seen with him in Bachchan Pandey, joked about the actor being so busy. © Instagram/Akshay Kumar “We had to remind him (Akshay) which film he is coming for here,” said Kriti, while suggesting that the actor must be confused because he does so many films simultaneously. However, Akshay's reply was, “I already have 5 films ready (for release).” Akshay, while speaking on why and how he does back-to-back films, said, “I have 5 films ready and the shooting for the sixth will begin soon after this film (Bachchan Pandey) releases. I’ll start my next from 19th.” © Instagram/Akshay Kumar “I get surprised when people ask me ‘Tum itne filme karta hai?’ I look at them in surprise and wonder, ‘Toh mai aur kya karu? Subey utke kaam pe hi jaana hai.Yehi kaam kar rahe hai. Isme samaj mein nahi aata isme nayi kya baat hai? Tum log bolte ho ‘tum 4 baje uthe ho.’ Arey toh subey na utho toh aur kab utthu? (Log kehte hai) tum parties mein nahi jaata – nahi jaata, maan nahi karta. Subah uthna, kaam karna, Sunday ko chutti leta hu – aisa hi karte rahoge toh aapke filme banti jayegi. Aap karte jaoge kaam. “Everybody is working for their daily bread. Mai aaram se baith sakta hu ghar par. Bhagwaan ka diya hua sab kuch hai, saare kamayi kar chuka hu. Aaj bhi agar mai baith jao toh kuch kamane ki zarurat nahi hai. Lekin unka (cameramen and others dependent on him making films) kya?” However, to everyone's shock, Akshay even spoke on his potential retirement from films altogether. “Aadmi ko kaam karta rehna chahiye. Ab kaam isliye nahi hai ki paiso ke liye kar raha hu, maaza aata hai, aacha lagta hai, passion rehta hai. Mai uss din kaam chod dunga jab raat ko, sone se pehle lagega ki ‘Arey, subey utke kaam pe jaana hai.’ Uss din mai kahunga, ‘Ab mai bandh kar raha hu.’ Till that feeling doesn’t come I’ll continue working.” said Akshay. Honestly, we don't want that day to ever come. Thankfully, Akshay will soon be seen in Prithviraj, Ram Setu, Raksha Bandhan, OMG 2, and Mission Cinderella, and we can watch all of them.

After what felt like a lifetime of waiting, Shah Rukh Khan’s next film, Pathaan was officially announced yesterday (2nd March), with King Khan declaring 25th January 2024 as the release date. It’s only natural that Bollywood and Shah Rukh fans are already hyping up for it. View this post on Instagram Pathaan will be directed by Siddharth Anand, and a few other names besides Shah Rukh’s to be associated with this massive project are John Abraham and Deepika Padukone. With such names associated with Pathaan, the expectations from the film are already sky-high, with people already expecting it to take the Box Office by storm. However, not everyone echoes that sentiment. Popular celebrity troll (self-proclaimed film critic), Kamaal R Khan has already forecasted his unsolicited predictions on the film, calling it a potential disaster, while also taking the moment to take generous potshots at Shah Rukh Khan. KRK tweeted, “Ab #Akki Ka Deshbhakti Ka Bhoot #SRK par Bhi Chadha hai. So now he is going to save the country. Lol! Are you people joking? If SRK wants to save the country, then he should go on border to fight with Chinese military instead of giving fake gyaan in the theatre. #Pathaan.” Ab #Akki Ka Deshbhakti Ka Bhoot #SRK par Bhi Chadha hai. So now he is going to save the country. Lol! Are you people joking? If SRK wants to save the country, then he should go on border to fight with Chinese military instead of giving fake gyaan in the theatre. #Pathaan — KRK (@kamaalrkhan) March 3, 2022 KRK’s prediction was countered by an SRK fan who augured that Pathaan would go on to collect 300 crores in 5 days, to which the former replied, “Last 9 years Se #SRK Ke Bhakts Yahi Kahte Aa Rahe hain. Aur SRK Ek Ke Baad Ek disaster Deta Jaa Raha Hai. Iss Baar Bhi Kuch Alag Nahi Hoga. Ek Aur Dabba #Pathaan is on the way.” He continued his Twitter tirade, with a final prediction, “Prediction 62- #Pathaan will be a sure shot disaster. It will be much bigger flop than #TOH. If it won’t be a disaster, then I will stop reviewing films.” Prediction 62- #Pathaan will be a sure shot disaster. It will be much bigger flop than #TOH. If it won’t be a disaster, then I will stop reviewing films. — KRK (@kamaalrkhan) March 3, 2022 Well, one thing is for sure: If Pathaan falls flat at the box office, then Kamaal R Khan would be swift to claim a victory for his prediction. However, on the odd chance that the movie becomes a hit, then don’t expect KRK to stick to his word and do the world a favour by stopping his film reviews. View the full article
