Bollywood News - Star couples Saif-Kareena & Abhi-Ash brighten up GQ awards ceremony

It was an unbelievable starry evening full of glamour and glitter when hot real-life couples like Saif-Kareena, Abhi-Ash and Amitabh-Jaya walked hand-in-hand and beamed as they grabbed in awards. Talking about the awards ceremony held at Mumbai’s Grand Hyatt Hotel on Sunday for the leading men’s magazine ‘GQ’, the event witnessed

celebrities from every field including Bollywood.

Saif and Kareena are not a very common sight at every other event, but with their flick ‘Qurbaan’ set to hit the screens, the couple is being seen in each other’s company quite often these days. The couple clearly stole the limelight as both of them won the GQ man and woman of the year award.

“Saif has won GQ Man of the year and I think he truly deserves it,” said Kareena, to which Saif replied, “For me at the moment Kareena is my Man of the Year.”

On her award, Kareena said, “Being called Woman of the year is a lot different from receiving a film award. It’s a great honor.”

Amitabh Bachchan, who was there with his family, wife, bahu, son and daughter and who received the Lifetime Achievement award said, “Well, now I’ll have to make more space to fit in yet another award.”

Katrina also won the GQ woman of the year award. Once again Katrina was seen sans Salman and was seen posing for the shutterbugs with Karan Johar. Abhay Deol picked up the Breakthrough Talent title.

Karan Johar on family, friends and SRK!

If you talk about Karan Johar, one name which immediately sparks your mind is none other than the Bollywood Badshah SRK. Lot has been written and guessed about Karan Johar’s special bonding with Shahrukh and a lot has been guessed about his sexuality, so it did not come as a surprise when the latest issue of ‘people’ magazine popped up this eternal question to Karan.

The reaction was a bit too hard hitting from Karan who went pat with “That’s not for you to know and not for me to reveal. My personal life will always be my personal life”. But well, that does not end the charm of the issue here. Karan features on the cover and you can find the ever-so-charming Karan share his views on his family, his background (how he had almost landed up in France and what made him stop), his very closet friends and of course, the one and only SRK!

Farah celebrating in style with Shahrukh

It was festive and celebration time for Farah and family. Thus all famous faces of tinsel town were present to wish Farah khan, ‘Eid Mubarak’. Shahrukh Khan along with wife Gowri, Arbaaz Khan and Fardeen Khan was among the celebrities present at the occasion. Here are some pictures for your glimpse:

Why Karan Johar is turning blogger

Like his colleagues Amtiabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, ace filmmaker Karan Johar has also started blogging, but says he is doing it to put his thoughts into writing rather than vocalising them all the time. “I’ve always been a closet writer. I’ve been offered newspaper columns that I almost did, but never got down to,” Karan told IANS.

“I feel a blog would be a good way to express my thoughts on cinema. Things that don’t routinely get space in the traditional media outlets these days,” added the director who is all set to direct his next “My Name is Khan” with Shah Rukh Khan.

Naughty Karan Kneeled down before SRK

There was real excitement on the set of SRK’s ‘Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain’ when Rani and director Karan Johar started giving answers to questions to be quite a strict teacher SRK’s at the show. No reason, why SRK asked such a difficult question once Karan even kneeled down before SRK to get the correct answer! But, finally, obedient students Karan and Rani Mukhrejee walked away with a ton of dough to be distributed for charity. See, pics of the strict teacher asking questions to the naughty students at the show.

SRK quizzes Karan Johar, Rani on Paanchvi Pass

Mumbai: Rani Mukherjee and Karan Johar will appear on Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? on 7 June where they try to prove that they are smarter than a fifth grader.

As India's most celebrated actress and director struggle to get their facts right with the help of five 10 year olds, Khan has a great time pulling their leg and making them beg for answers. Johar even gets down to his knees to beg for answers. "Hamari bahot beizzati hui hai yahaan par", Karan jokingly kept saying. When Karan and Rani tried to cheat from the audience, SRK gave them a fitting punishment by making them stand on the chair in the classroom.

There are many hilarious and emotional moments intertwined in the show. The most funny being where Johar reveals that, as a kid, he wanted to be a barber and cut people's hair when he grew up. He was refused admission when this question was asked in the schools. On a serious note, Mukherjee reveals that she always wanted to make it big but did not know which direction to go. She speaks of wanting to return plenty of happiness to her parents for all the hardship she has seen them face in her growing years.

Johar and Mukherjee played in true sportsman-like spirit giving everybody their share of laughter, entertainment and fun.

They won a handsome amount which they intend to donate partly to Nanavati Hospital and partly to another medical facility in the country of Mukherjee's choice.

The funeral of Shomu Mukherjee

The cremation of Kajol and Tanisha’s father and yesteryear actress Tanuja’s husband, director and producer Shomu Mukherjee, 65, was held at Santacruz, Mumbai, on April 10, following his death due to a cardiac arrest that morning.

Tanuja and Shomu met during the making of Shomu’s first production film ‘Ek Baar Muskara Do’ (1972) starring Joy Mukherjee and Tanuja. They got married in 1973 and the couple had two daughters, Kajol and Tanisha.

Amongst the Bollywood fraternity that attended the funeral were Shammi Kapoor, Karan Johar, Bappi Lahari, Ashutosh Gwarikar and Maushmi Chatterji. The entire Mukherjee clan was present, including Rani Mukherji, who is the daughter of Shomu Mukherjee’s cousin Ram Mukherjee.
