Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most loved actors of the film industry and there is no denying the fact that his charm works on every generation. He did many negative roles in the beginning of his career but later he shifted to romantic roles which he played so well that his fans started calling him King of Romance. Despite the fact that everything was going pretty well for him, in the year 2007 he shocked everyone when he appeared with six pack abs in the song “Dard-e-Disco” of his movie “Om Shanti Om”.

SRK was in his early forties at that time and everyone was confused as to why the “Baazigar” actor took this step when he was already such a big star. In an episode of Koffee With Karan, Shah Rukh disclosed that the real reason behind SRK’s efforts to get a chiseled body was his son Aryan. The “Fan” actor revealed that Aryan was nine years of age at that time and he beat up a young girl because she called SRK fat. Shah Rukh told that first the girl called the actor a**hole but Aryan didn’t react and then she said that he looked ugly in quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati and still Aryan did not give any reaction. However, Aryan was not able to control when she called SRK fat and he kicked the little girl.

SRK further added that he talked to his son as the actor was a little angry with him. But Aryan told him that the fault is not of the girl but of his father instead as he is fat. Aryan explained that he didn’t react when she called Shah Rukh a**hole as he knew that his father is cool, Aryan didn’t react when she called the superstar ugly because he knew that his father is handsome. However, Aryan got out of control when she called his father fat because as per him, he was fat.

Shah Rukh being a great father decided to pacify his son and worked hard to get those six pack abs and after seven years, he showed his eight pack abs in the movie “Happy New Year”.

Shah Rukh Khan’s last movie was “Zero” which was a flop and since then, SRK has not signed any project. His fans are waiting eagerly to find out when they will be able to see him on the big screen again. Let’s see when the actor will make an announcement in this regard!

The versatile star Irrfan Khan has bid final goodbye to the world leaving all of us perplexed and sad because it is pretty hard to believe that the actor who enticed us with his acting skills and flawless performances is not with us. There is no denying the fact that Irrfan’s health was a concern for everyone but there was a sense of positivity that he will be fine one day as he was just into his 50s.

Nobody can change the reality of today but still we will like to share some interesting facts about Irrfan Khan with you:

1. His real name:

Irrfan Khan was basically from Jaipur, Rajasthan, and his real name was Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan.

7. The extra R in his name:

It is quite normal for the Bollywood celebs to add extra alphabets in their names as per the demand of numerology; nevertheless, the extra R in Irrfan’s name is not because of numerology but for the fact that Irrfan liked the sound that was generated by adding an extra R.

8. Wanted to quit acting:

There was a time when Irrfan Khan wanted to quit acting as he was mostly getting work in TV serials and nothing good was happening in movies for him.

The post 12 Lesser-Known Facts About The Iconic Actor Irrfan Khan appeared first on RVCJ Media.

The year 2020 has turned out to be a nightmare as the whole world has been adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic and in this time of crisis, India has lost one of the most precious gems of the acting world.

The International actor Irrfan Khan breathed his last today due to a prolonged illness; he was just 53 years of age and one of the finest actors of the film world. Irrfan Khan who hails from Jaipur, Rajasthan, made his debut in Bollywood with a small role in “Salaam Bombay” in 1988. He also worked in some TV serials but became a known face after he got the chance to work in 2001 released British movie “The Warrior”. Some of his great acting performances were seen in flicks such as “Haasil”, “Maqbool”, “The Namesake”, “The Lunchbox”, etc.

Irrfan got National Award for the Best Actor for his acting in “Paan Singh Tomar” and he was last seen in “Angrezi Medium”. He was one of the most versatile actors of the present times and was a master in getting into the skin of the character. While he showed his comical side in “Piku”, we saw him playing a no-nuisance CBI officer’s role in “Talvar” while in “Hindi Medium”, he played the character of a guy who was desi from heart but tried to portray himself as a sophisticated person.

Irrfan has been so impeccable in his acting performances that it is not possible to miss any of his movies; in fact he was one of those rare actors who knew how to make their presence felt even in a very small role.

Bollywood celebs, sportspersons, politicians and movie lovers have been left in a state of shock and dismay and many celebrities took to social media to express their sorrow and condolences to the family. Here are some of the mourning tweets from the renowned personalities on the iconic actor’s sudden departure.

The Indian government imposed complete lockdown for 21 days from March 25 after there was a huge surge in the number of coronavirus infected patients and now the lockdown has been extended further till May 3. There is no doubt that the situation can be called under control in India as far as the COVID-19 pandemic is concerned but the citizens still need to follow the lockdown rules properly. Nevertheless, it is indeed very sad to know that there are some people who are breaking the rules on a regular basis despite the fact that the government as well as many sports and movie celebs are urging Indians to adhere to the rules.

Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja also took to social media recently and gave a message to those who are breaking the lockdown rules. He posted a video from an IPL match that was played between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Lions and at that time, Jadeja used to play for Gujarat Lions.

In the video, Mumbai Indians player Jasprit Bumrah was batting and he played the shot towards the point region on the bowling of Irfan Pathan. When the batsmen were running between the wickets, Jadeja picked the ball and threw it at the non-striker’s end. It was a direct hit but the field umpire had some doubts so the appeal was transferred to the third umpire who had no problem in declaring Bumrah out as he was very far from the crease. The video also showed how Jadeja once again hit the stumps to get rid of Lasith Malinga on the last ball and the match went to super-over.

With this video, Jadeja wrote the caption, “Bahar bindaas gumthe ho. Mast meh time pass karthe ho, jab aapko ghar pe rahena chahiye. Phir yeh toh hona he tha   #Staystaysafe #runoutmathona”.

It loosely translates to, “You roam carelessly outside, passing your time when you need to be at home; then it was supposed to happen.”

Here is the video:

Ravindra Jadeja is one of the best fielders presently and most of the times he hits the stumps because of which the batsmen don’t like to take risk when the shot is played towards him.

Many cricketers have requested people to stay at home but still the number of persons who have lost their lives due to coronavirus has crossed the 1000 mark while the number of infected cases is more than 31K.

Stay at home, stay safe!

Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh has conducted Instagram live chat sessions with many Indian cricketers and recently, he chatted with the Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah.

Jasprit Bumrah is referred to as one of the best pacers of the world in the present times and he has proved his talent many times as he helped his team in winning matches by taking wickets at crucial junctures. Bumrah who is also famous for his unusual bowling action made his debut in 2016 and since then, he has represented India in 128 matches and has taken 233 wickets.

However during the live chat session, Yuvi took a dig at Bumrah’s batting statistics as his highest in ODIs and tests is 10 while in IPL, his highest score is 16. Nevertheless, Jasprit Bumrah gave a wonderful reply as he told Yuvraj that his highest is 42 against Goa which he scored in only 20 balls.

Jasprit Bumrah’s batting record is not quite worth talking as he has scored only 19 runs in 64 ODIs that he has played but there is one incident which no Indian cricket fan will be able to forget. In March 2019, the Australian team visited India and during the fourth ODI at Mohali, the Australian pacer Pat Cummins was literally on fire as he had already taken five wickets when Jasprit Bumrah came to bat after Yuzvendra Chahal’s dismissal. It was Pat Cummins’ last delivery which he bowled full-length and to everybody’s shock, Jasprit hit it for a six. It was a big surprise for everyone including the Indian skipper Virat Kohli and that is the only six that has been hit by Bumrah along with 29 fours.

Yuvi and Bumrah share a good bond as they both have played together for the Indian team as well as for IPL team Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.

Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has become an important part of the Indian team as the leggy is known for taking wickets at crucial phases and other than this, he is also getting famous for his TikTok videos, especially during the lockdown period amid the coronavirus scare. Recently, he revealed the names of batsmen who play the spin bowling in the best manner.

In Yuzi’s opinion, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the best players of spin and the skipper of New Zealand team, Kane Williamson has the capability of troubling the spinner as he plays the ball pretty late. Chahal also names Joe Root and Steve Smith as good players of the spin.

Yuzi also talked about the veteran Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and his ability to play spin bowling quite well. He recollected the memories of the Indo-Pak matches of Asia Cup 2018 played in Dubai and said that he was very impressed by the manner in which Shoaib Malik played spin bowlers.

Chahal went on to say that Shoaib Malik is even better than Steve Smith when it comes to playing spin. Yuzi along with Kuldeep Yadav created many problems for the Pakistani batsmen but Shoaib Malik managed to play them well.

Nowadays, Yuzi is busy in making TikTok videos as no cricketing event is taking place on account of the coronavirus outbreak. While some fans of Chahal have appreciated him for the videos, several others have taken a dig at him including the Indian skipper who recently called Yuzi a clown during an Instagram live chat session with AB de Villiers.

Who is the best player of spin in your opinion? Let us know your views.

The Indian government imposed lockdown of 21 days from March 25 as the number of coronavirus patients started increasing at an alarming rate but it was extended till May 3 as per the demand of the situation. The government also decided to re-telecast the most popular shows of 90s so that people can revisit the old days and have good time with their family members during the lockdown. The shows which are getting aired again are Ramayan, Mahabharata, Dekh Bhai Dekh, Circus, Buniyaad, etc.

Among all the shows, Ramayan is being loved by audiences the most and recently fans started trending hashtag #AwardForRamayan as they felt that the work done by the actors, directors and the other crew members deserve an award. In the serial, Arun Govil played the character of Lord Ram, Deepika Chikhalia portrayed Sita’s role while the character of Lakshman was played by Sunil Lahri.

Actor Sunil Lahri was quite happy to see #AwardForRamayan trending as he interacted with an entertainment portal. He is very pleased by the fact that fans love their work so much that they want them to be awarded. However in his opinion, no award is bigger than the love of viewers as the awards can satisfy the ego of an actor but it can’t match the recognition and appreciation that they are getting for their performances in Ramayan.

Earlier, Arun Govil also accepted that though his Bollywood career came to a halt after he worked in Ramayan, the respect and love that he has got because of playing Ram in Ramayan is immense and even 100 Bollywood movies would not have given him that. He further said that it feels great to be a part of a project which is still being loved by people and he is happy that the young generation is watching it.
