Kajol beats Aishwarya as the ‘Favorite Bahu’

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan may be the most talked about Bahu of the tinsel town, but despite the fact that her Father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan, is extremely fond of her, Kajol won over as the favorite ‘Bahu’ in a poll conducted by a famous matrimonial site ‘Shaadi.com’.

Kajol has been married to actor Ajay Devgan for 11 years now and it will not be an exaggeration to say that she has given a 100% to her family and kids.

The poll, in which 250,000 women participated, was conducted by the site as part of the upcoming International Women’s Day celebrations on Monday. In the poll, 43.08 percent women said Kajol was their favorite Bollywood daughter-in-law.

Following Kajol were other Bollywood actresses like Aishwarya Rai, Gauri Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Malaika Arora, Twinkle Khanna and Kiran Rao.

“The women’s day poll is part of the constant research that shaadi.com conducts in its attempt to gauge the preferences of its members.

The results show that today the women are looking to be more independent and are willing to adopt stronger roles in their life. They believe in themselves and aspire to emulate top achievers in their field,” said Gourav Rakshit, business head, shaadi.com.

Preity Zinta plays her role of a dedicated daughter

Preity Zinta has always been known for her bold and fearless attitude in fighting for the right cause. Recently, she has taken up yet another cause to ensure justice to Shandar Arohi who is one of the three children of legendary late Kamaal Amrohi. The Arohi family is in news these days due to their property dispute that’s worth over a staggering Rs. 600 crore!

It may be known here that Shandar always took Preity Zinta as his daughter ever since he saw her films. He had also announced once that he would pass on all his property to Preity.

The story goes as Shandar has filed a case against his sister Rukhsar and brother Wasim stating that they have falsely pledged his shares in ‘Mahal Pictures Pvt Ltd’ (that owns the famous Kamaal Amrohi studio), to a company in Pune. Shandar says that he is battling not for money but for justice and that Preity is helping him fight it, despite strong opposition from the other family members.

The latest position on the case is that the High Court has adjourned further hearing on Shandar’s plea till March 11. So, it’s a wait and watch for us till then…..

Akshay Kumar handcuffed for 4 hours

It all happened at the sets of the forthcoming directorial venture from Farah Khan, ‘Tees Maar Khan’ where Khiladi Kumar was handcuffed for not one or two but long four hours. However, this was not for some crime done by Akshay but it was an accident. Akshay had to shoot for a sequence with handcuffs on and when Akshay was playing with the cuffs and he put them on, the lock was clicked. It was then discovered that the only key to the cuffs was accidentally broken and there was no duplicate key. The production team immediately beckoned a locksmith but the cuffs being imported stuff he couldn’t open them. Farah then sent a team member to bring the duplicate key which was at the other end of the city and it took 4 hours.

But sporting as Akshay is, he did not complain once and taking it in the right spirit he went around the sets handcuffed and even finished all the shots that were supposed to be filmed with the hero in hand cuffs.
