1. Salman, Aishwarya & Abhishek’s Scene Goes Viral
Did you know that Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have worked together in a film? Yes, its true and here’s proof.

Not many would remember this film, forget this scene, but it’s the internet and that’s why we love it.
2. Arijit Singh to Visit Salman Khan’s House and Beg for Forgiveness!
Looks like an apology note wasn’t enough, Arijit Singh now wants to visit Salman’s house and seek forgiveness. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Arijit opened up on how he’s hell bent on reaching out to Salman. The singer said, “I tried to reach him last night as well but in vain. So I resorted to a social media apology hoping it will reach him. I knew people would misinterpret it and when it instigated arguments, I thought I should remove it. I am not in Mumbai at the moment or I’d have gone to his apartment last night. I am going to do that once I am back. I have hopes that he will be fine with me one day.”
We hope so too!
