Sohail and Seema Khan's divorce; Ira Khan's pool party

From Seema Khan and Sohail Khan's divorce rumours to Ira Khan's birthday bash, here are the top ten entertainment stories that ruled the headlines. Sohail Khan and Seema Khan were snapped together at Family Court in BKC on May 13, Friday, and the duo's divorce rumours started doing arounds on the internet.

Big Hit music recently released the third and final tracklist for BTS’s upcoming anthology album Proof, to be released in June. The list features demo versions of hit songs sung by the group members. Soon after ‘Be fair to Jimin’ started trending on Twitter, once fans realised Jimin is the only member who does not have a solo song included in the album. Jimin has not even been credited for writing his part in 'Tony Montana,' only Agust D, Pdogg, and Supreme Boi are credited as the writers and producers.

‘Was at ease the moment the first shot was taken’

The camera has missed Sharmila Tagore as much as she has missed it. After 11 years since Break Ke Baad (2010), the veteran actor returned in front of the lens for Rahul Chittella’s Gulmohar. So, what lured her back to the world of acting? The delightful script, she says. “Working with Manoj Bajpayee was an added attraction,” smiles Tagore, who plays the matriarch of the Batra family in the drama that also stars Suraj Sharma.

Save the drama for the camera

There has been much drama on the Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali front even before the film went on floors. Now, actor-producer Salman Khan is gearing up to ensure that the drama is restricted to the camera. Tomorrow, the superstar will begin shooting for Farhad Samji’s directorial venture that also stars Pooja Hegde, Aayush Sharma and Zaheer Iqbal. We hear the first pit-stop is the Golden Tobacco factory in Vile Parle.

Salman Khan: Priyanka Chopra Called Ali Abbas Zafar, Asking For Bharat

Revealing that Katrina Kaif was the original choice for period drama until Priyanka Chopra evinced interest, Salman Khan on how he harbours no hard feelings over her sudden exit

Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra

To beat the heat in Goa, Salman Khan swapped his shirt for a white vest. That is not to imply that the superstar compromised on his style at the launch of Bigg Boss 12; what he lacked in the sartorial department, he made up for by his grand entry - Khan arrived at the event in a motor boat amid cheers from his fans.

As he sat down for a chat with mid-day, we addressed the inevitable: Priyanka Chopra's abrupt exit from his period drama, Bharat. "It was sweet of her to tell us five days before the shoot that she couldn't do Bharat," began Khan, indicating that it was not just his muscles on display, but his dry humour too. "I'm glad Katrina is part of the film. She was Atul's [Agnihotri, producer] first choice. But Priyanka called Ali [Abbas Zafar, director] and said she wanted to do Bharat, so we considered her."

Ali Abbas Zafar

While it was initially believed that Chopra walked out of the film to get engaged to boyfriend Nick Jonas, it was later learnt that she had chosen Cowboy Ninja Viking opposite Chris Pratt over the Khan starrer. However, days later, the makers announced that the Hollywood project was infinitely delayed. Khan, on his part, says, "I hope the other movie that she has signed, works out. Now that she is engaged, we are happy for her. I hope she gets married soon, has children and lives happily ever after."

Before he begins the next schedule of Bharat, Khan will honour his small screen commitment. Having been the face of nine of the 12 seasons of Bigg Boss, he insists that hosting the show is no mean feat. "I don't know why certain contestants behave the way they do. Maybe it's because of the environment. I think the Bigg Boss house is the most difficult place to be in. And I am somebody who has even been to jail."

A still from Bharat

He also realises that many seek to boost their career through the show, "Some people get into the house to get work. But how will anyone hire them for a job, if they behave in an unruly manner in the house?"
