In a scene from ‘Bombay Velvet’, Karan Johar (as the elitist power broker Kaizad Khambatta) steps out of a meeting with Ranbir Kapoor (as Johnny Balraj) & Satyadeep Mishra (as Chiman Chopra), laughs his heart out at his protégé’s poor English. In a nutshell, it neatly captures the film’s spirit; the powerful elite don’t believe in sharing their glory with unpolished upstarts. ‘Bombay Velvet’, a love story set in the backdrop of destructive ambition, rides on this conflict. Although, not at all points is its vision neatly conveyed.

‘Bombay Velvet’ is the story of Johnny Balraj & his childhood buddy, Chiman Chopra who casually commits petty crime to make ends meet. Both escape the Partition for a tough life on the streets. A chance encounter with the glib, ambitious power broker and tabloid owner Kaizad Khambatta gives their lives a dicey but promising direction. They become suited, booted musclemen who run a club; a nest of (legally) forbidden pleasures & power broking for the city’s elite.

Ranveer Singh wishes his 'big momma' and 'little momma'

 We know that Ranveer Singh is a momma's boy. The Bajirao star shared pictures of his mother Anju Bhavnani and elder sister Ritika Bhavnani. Ranveer wrote, "Love You Momma!!! Big momma and Little momma #goodtimes #Istanbul #DilDhadakneDo"

Apparently, these pictures were clicked during Ranveer's 'Dil Dhadakne Do' shoot in Istanbul. During the time, Ranveer's sis and mom had joined him for a few days, as did his lady love Deepika Padukone.

This Mother’s day Ad featuring Deepika Padukone and her mother is really heartwarming!

Every day is Mother’s Day, but there comes one Sunday when we tell our mothers, how much we love them. The new advertisement of a leading jeweler featuring Deepika Padukone and her mom Ujjala Padukone is going to melt your hearts.

The adorable monologue in Deepika’s voice in the background is very well-written. She thanks her mother in the best possible way. Deepika looks so much like her mother, and the two look so adorable together.

The best part was “socha tha famous hone ka kuch toh fyada hoga. Hmm! Par aaj bhi tumhare samne khaane ki plate mein kuch chorne ki himmat hi nahi hoti.” Also the instrumental touch of the song “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri adds more to the emotive value of the whole ad.

Ranbir's answer about Katrina VS Deepika gets edited out!

The promotions for Anurag Kashyap's 'Bombay Velvet' are in full swing and as part of the promotions, the stars of the film got together for a special interview called the 'Bombay Velvet Club' in which KJo reprised his role as a talk show host for his co-stars Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma and director Anurag Kashyap.

During the immensely popular rapid fire round, Karan Johar asked Ranbir Kapoor to pick between current girlfriend Katrina Kaif and ex Deepika Padukone with regard to both looks and acting. Ranbir of course picked Katrina in both categories but did so, according to our source, in a politically correct but awkward way.

Kamaal Khan's ex girlfriend wonders about the mystery behind his disappearance

On the fateful day when Salman Khan's hit and run accident happened, there was a close friend of Salman, singer Kamaal Khan seated in the car. Though Kamaal initially did give a statement saying that Salman was driving the car, this did not help much in the development of the case as Kamaal later disappeared into thin air. Years later, Kamaal's then girlfriend and live in partner Shilpi Sharma recalled in an interview to Mumbai Mirror how Kamaal disappeared into the darkness one night.

She said, "He used to be disturbed about the case. He'd get agitated if I mentioned the hit-and-run case, so I never probed. I got to know him two years after the incident and the unspoken rule was that we'd never talk of it." The two met in 2004 on the sets of Rahul Rawail's Jo Bole So Nihaal. Shilpi said, "We were both starting our acting careers together and instantly connected. He was quite charming and I soon fell madly in love. It wasn't a fairy-tale romance. The ghost of the case loomed large over our relationship but we managed...We fought often but there was an attempt to maintain stability."
