Bolly Buzz: Kareena Kapoor hosts a starry birthday bash; Gauri Khan on Aryan’s arrest – Times of India

Bollywood stars brought their best pout forward as they headed to Kareena’s house for her starry birthday celebrations. Everyone from Alia Bhatt to hubby Ranbir Kapoor, Malaika Arora and Amrita Arora, Soha, KJo and many more dressed in shades of blacks and blues for the b’day bash. From posing for selfies to groupfies, posting pictures of the cakes to the shiny decor Bebo made sure her fans didn’t feel left out as she partied the night away with her friends.

Those sitting at home and tuning in to Karan’s Koffee conversations were moved to hear Gauri open up about the ‘tough time’ she and the family went through during her son Aryan Khan’s arrest. “Nothing can be worse,” the star said and went on to add that her family is now in “a great space” where they feel the love. She also thanked her friends and all those who stood by her family and helped them through the tough times.

On the other side of the Koffee couch, Maheep Kapoor and Bhavana Panday turned up the heat and spiced things up by spilling the tea on love, life and celebrity romances. Maheep was asked for some marriage tips for Bollywood’s hot new jodis. Besides wishing everyone “good sex, good sex, good sex” she advised Deepika and Ranveer “don’t share the wardrobe”, Ranbir-Alia to share baby duties equally and for Vicky and Katrina, she was convinced “it’s all good in the hood.” Bhavana and KJo on the other hand, got chatty about Ananya allegedly two-timing. That’s when Bhavana clarified, “Ananya was thinking of two, so she broke up with one.”

All this talk of love, sex and dhoka comes along with the buzz of another celeb wedding. Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal are putting the rest of b-town to shame as Buzz is the two are opting for an eco-friendly wedding. From using natural decor to opting for sustainable materials and cutting down on plastic waste and food waste, these two are going the extra mile to make responsible choices for the big day.

Giving fans reason to cheer today was Deepika Padukone who shared a Pathaan update. The actress announced on Thursday that she has begun work on dubbing for the film. ‘Work in progress’ she captioned the photo that saw her microphone and script front and centre. Does this mean a teaser or even a trailer release is just around the corner?

And finally, amidst all the chatter around India’s selection for the Oscars, Vivek Agnihotri has left it to the makers of the film to try their luck and send the film as an independent entry to the Academy for consideration. However, in a candid chat with our bees, the director said that an Oscar win is not high on his list, “But if we don’t get that one National Award, I guess I will be disappointed,” he said.
