1. I Don’t Compare Myself With Shah Rukh or Salman: Aamir Khan

Three Indian actors who’ve shared the surname have ruled Bollywood for decades now are - Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh Khan. The several comparisons drawn between them over the years have been inevitable. The most successful among the three Khans in recent times has been Aamir.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is a big box office draw and anything associated with him can set the cash registers ringing. And that is what a Varanasi paan shop owner did: He has named a 'paan' after the uncrowned 'King of Romance' of Bollywood.

3. Jailhouse Rock: ‘Kaavaan Kaavaan’ Gets Groovier in Lucknow Central

The trippy Kaavaan Kaavaan makes a comeback with Farhan Akhtar’s upcoming film Lucknow Central, and we must confess - we love this rendition as much as its Monsoon Wedding avatar.

Composed by Arjunna Harjaie and sung by Divya Kumar - an excellent decision to not have Farhan Akhtar lend his voice to the number - this version of Kaavaan Kaavaan is as groovy as it gets. Concentrating more and on faster beats - notice how the dhols work their magic with the mouth and body percussion - Kaavaan Kaavaan rises above its folk roots to become an energetic dance number here.

Veteran actor Dilip Kumar was admitted to Lilavati Hospital on Wednesday night.

The 94-year-old actor was admitted on Wednesday but his condition is now said to be stable. Saira Banu’s nephew Rehan confirmed the news to The Quint.

Dilip Sahab is absolutely fine. We are in room 1**3 in Lilavati. My aunt and I got him here at 12’o clock in the morning because he was dehydrated and had an urinary infection. He had to be administered a drip with the antibiotics in the hospital itself because being a heart patient, it’s not possible to do it at home. So that’s what happened and we brought him here and now in fact it’s under control and he is sitting and having his dinner on his own.
