Salman Khan donates bone marrow
Salman KhanSalman Khan is one brave heart hunk, for the actor has become the first bone marrow donor in the country. Known for his generosity and charitable work, the often misunderstood Khan has once again kept up his promise by donating his bone marrow for a little girl Pooja, who was in need of a bone marrow transplant. The act just comes days after the actor had pledged to Marrow Donor Registry, India, to donate his bone marrow if a need may arise. And Salman is not alone here. His brother Arbaaz Khan too joined him in the noble task. Confirming the news, Dr. Sunil Parekh who is on the board of MDRI said, "The people suffering from disease and I thank Salman Khan for coming forward and taking up our cause. Four years ago, Salman had read about Pooja, a little girl who was in need of bone marrow transplant. He got his entire football team to come and donate marrow. Unfortunately, they all backed out last minute, and only Salman and Arbaaz landed up donating and became the first donors”.

Talking about the little help they received from the government, Dr Parekh said, "We made a foolish mistake to depend on the government in 2004. We didn’t get the right help."

Addressing the problems that make bone marrow donation a problem in India, Salman said, "We have only 5000 donors currently. It’s not merely the lack of awareness; it’s our attitude that’s also the problem. And this will make us responsible for patients’ lives. Donate marrow and save a life. It’s just like a blood test and doesn’t take time. I know some people are scared of blood tests too but it’s time to become a little brave and make a big difference."

Akshay Kumar donates Rs 50 lakhs to charity
Akshay KumarAkshay Kumar might call himself the ‘lowest paid actor’ in Bollywood but that doesn’t seem to limit his generosity. The actor, who is known for his charitable work, has donated a whopping sum of Rs 50 lakhs for Salman Khan’s charity organization ‘Being Human’. What’s more is that Akshay intends to double this amount before the year ends. And Salman is much too touched by Akshay’s sweet gesture.

Said a source said, “For years, Akshay has been working for various causes. But he has always been wary of transferring funds to charitable institutions. Now in Being Human, Akshay has found a charitable trust that he can trust.”

However there is another side to Akki’s sudden generosity. As per reports, Akshay’s decision to donate such a big amount stems from the fact that Salman did a cameo in his co-production, ‘Tees Maar Khan’, free of cost.

And post Salman’s act, Akshay told Salman of his availability for any event related to ‘Being Human’.

Salman Khan and Govinda blow over Sonakshi Sinha
Sonakshi Sinha and Salman Khan in DabanggOnce touted as best friends, Salman and Govinda can’t see eye to eye any longer. The two actors have reportedly fallen apart and it’s all owing to Salman’s latest fixation with Sonakshi Sinha. Buzz has it that Govinda, who was counting on Salman to pave way for his daughter Narmada’s debut in Bollywood, is increasingly peeved with the actor as he has snubbed Narmada to give Sonakshi a larger than life start in Bollywood.

According to a source, “Narmada is as beautiful and talented as Sonakshi. Last year, Salman was very much involved with grooming Narmada. However, after he started shooting for ‘Dabangg’, he has eyes and ears for Sonakshi and not Narmada.”

And Govinda, though feels cheated, has refrained from voicing his feeling as he feels indebted to Salman for helping him get ‘Partner’ in 2007.

But a lot has changed between the two pals now, as under ideal circumstances, Narmada should have signed a movie or two by now.

“There was a time when Govinda used to frequently visit Salman’s house, Galaxy Apartments at Bandstand. Not anymore. After working on ‘Partner’, both actors were almost inseparable and loved being with each other, be it at home or even in autorikshaws, out for a spin in the middle of the night,” added the source.

Katrina Kaif gets dumped by Salman Khan
Bollywood’s original heartbreak hunk Salman Khan seems to have found the perfect substitute for his lady love Katrina Kaif in her look alike Zarine Khan.

The actor, who has been in news for his turbulent and estranged relationship with Katrina Kaif, appears to have moved on to yet another smothering lass. Believe it or not but the two seemed to be much in love at a recent party organized by Aamir Khan, where Sallu was seen walking in with Zarine instead of Kat.

On Saturday night Aamir Khan had thrown a party in honour of Argentinian music composer Gustavo Santaolalla at his resident. Salman, who was one of the popular guests of the evening, stunned everyone when he walked in with Zarine instead of Kat.

A source said, “Heads turned when Zarine and Salman walked in together. And soon enough, there were hushed whispers doing the rounds at the party. Zarine was lugging on to Salman sleeve throughout the party. Though he spent most of his time talking to Aamir, he didn’t mind her presence at all.”

The relationship is symbiotic it seems. Not too long ago, Zarine Khan had reportedly made it very clear that she owes a lot to Salman and that she calls him her mentor. She had said, “I am here because of Salman Khan. He is my mentor who discovered me and gave me my first Bollywood break. He has always been very supportive and I owe a lot to him”.

Deepika Padukone to get Salman Khan as Bodyguard
Deepika PadukoneWe must say that Deepika Padukone is one of the luckiest actresses in the bollywood. Believe it or not, but Deepika may soon have a chance to proclaim that none other than Salman Khan is her bodyguard!

Salman may turn the bodyguard of Deepika in an upcoming flick, starring the two in lead roles. Reports reveal that the Hindi remake of the South Indian director Siddique’s Malayalam film ‘Bodyguard’, will have Deepika opposite the macho guy Salman.

A lot of filmmakers had approached Siddique to get the rights for the movie’s Hindi remake, but only Atul Agnihotri could manage to convince the former for the same. Siddique will take up the role of the director and writer in the Hindi version after completing the Tamil.

Grapevine has it that the Tamil version of the film stars Asin Thottumkal and the South superstar Vijay.

Nevertheless, while Salman has already been signed for playing the lead role in the Hindi remake of the flick, Deepika is not sure yet. However, filmmaker Atul Agnihotri added that they were still working on the script, and would begin shooting for the flick on December 6.

Salman Khan rejects Rs 1.5 crore wedding offer
Salman KhanHe might be flaked for his unprofessional antics, but going by Salman’s latest gesture, it seems the actor has changed for the good. After putting his brother Arbaaz Khan’s flick ‘Dabanng’ on hold endlessly, the macho actor has turned serious for the film as he has returned a whopping sum of Rs 1.5 crore for an event to shoot for the jinxed project.

Even though the actor had initially accepted the offer to perform at the wedding reception of Videocon owner Venugopal Dhoot’s brother Pradeep Dhoot’s son Saurabh, he declined the offer at the last moment. And it’s all for Arbaaz’s sake.

A source said, “A major action scene was to be shot with South action director Vijayan, who’d flown down with his stuntmen and Salman did not want to keep them waiting and waste a day of shooting.”

A few days of shooting was cancelled last week after Khan hurt his hand. And the delay had cost brother Arbaaz dearly. Nevertheless when Sallu heard about the cost incurred by his dear brother he decided to compensate him by shooting extra days for the film and hence cancelled his prior commitments.

Talking about the wedding reception that Sallu cancelled, a source said, “Salman spoke to them and explained that he could not perform and sent back the 1.5 crore that he’d been given to perform at the function."

Salman Khan kisses Brinda Parekh
Brinda ParekhLucky girl Brinda Parekh went through typical ‘first-kiss’ symptoms - butterflies in tummy and shaky hands. And why not, if the kisser is Salman, the desirable ‘Bachelor Khan’ of Bollywood, the knees would give way as well!

This is the first time in his career that Salman Khan has gone ahead with such an intimate sequence with his leading lady. Katrina must be one mightily self-controlled girl not to move a hair!

The blessed girl chosen for the hot hunk’s first onscreen kiss had first featured in a Thums Up ad. She then went on to do regional films and was also seen in Bhandarkar’s ‘Corporate’.

The hot smooch sequence is a part of Vipul Shah’s Salman-Ajay-Asin starrer ‘London Dreams’.

Brinda did have her share of cold feet. She confessed to her friends that Salman calmed her down and helped her get through the scene. Wonder how it would feel to be calmed by ‘the’ Salman, and to be helped ‘by him’ to kiss him!

Brinda did confess some more. She said that all she could think during the kiss was the texture of Salman Khan’s skin.

The girl was overwhelmed with the soft, supple, baby-like skin the actor had. Hmm, this looks like enough material to turn imaginations wild…

Shah Rukh Khan for Couture grand finale
Shah Rukh KhanBagging top-notch celebs to showcase his collection at the Couture week Salman Khan might have given Shah Rukh Khan’s popularity a beating, but when it comes to the grand prize it is King Khan who has emerged a clear winner.

After a month long tussle among the warring Khans, it has now become official that it’s Shah Rukh and not Salman who will be walking at the grand finale.

So while King Khan will be the showstopper, Salman will have to parade his big Bollywood brigade on Oct 13.

Shah Rukh will be walking with his wife Gauri Khan for Karan Johar’s clothesline. Confirms a source, “Salman did not want the grand finale. He is walking for charity. His show is not the couture show per se. He and the other actors with him will walk the ramp on Oct 13. We had blocked the dates of every star walking in the event two months ago. Salman won’t even be here in Mumbai on the day of the grand finale.”

And even though that’s the official version, sources state that Salman never had a choice to walk for the grand finale. Even though the macho actor has managed to get exclusive celebs to walk the ramp for him, it was SRK who was the final choice for the grand bash.

Both Shah Rukh and Salman were keen to do the grand finale. A grand finale in a fashion event is always very special.

Aamir Khan refuses getting waxed at Madame Tussauds
Aamir Khan-Madame TussaudsWinners don’t do different things, they do things differently. This phrase perfectly suits the perfectionist Aamir Khan. He is known for his totally different approach from the current league of bollywood actors.

Aamir proved so recently when he turned down the offer to get waxed at the Madame Tussauds wax museum. Madame Tussauds had approached Aamir as they wanted to add another Bollywood bigwig to their existing collection of actors. Some of the big names of bollywood who have already been waxed are Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Salman Khan etc.

It is believed that Aamir declined the offer by saying that he wasn’t interested. He added that he leaves behind things that don’t interest him, as he has so many things to do. He wants people to see him through his films and nothing else.

Indeed a Genius!!!
