Shaandaar pair Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt is in demand by leading brands!

Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have become the favourite onscreen pair of the movie fanatics. Vikas Bahl directorial flick ‘Shaandaar’ is the one in which the duo appeared for the first time. Since then they have been praised by B-town. Shahid and Alia’s promotional activities even popped out the rumours that the onscreen couple might be in a relationship. But the latest news is, their sizzling chemistry is been liked by some leading brands.

According to leading media reports, Shahid and Alia are in demand to endorse some products. No official confirmations have been revealed yet. Definitely it would be a bonus point for the leading brands to feature Shahid and Alia in their advertisements. The curiosity is really high among the fans to see the duo together once again onscreen. The couple would soon be seen in ‘Udta Punjab’ directed by Abhishek Chaubey. 

Apparently the onscreen couple share a great rapport even in real life. Should Shahid’s wife Mira Rajput be little worried with regards to Shahid and Alia’s off screen bond? In the past we have even seen the trio Shahid, Mira and Alia clicking pictures together and sharing it on social media platforms. Let’s wait and watch which leading brand ropes in Shahid and Alia.

Alia Bhatt looks gorgeous in a stylish black gown at Stardust Awards

Alia Bhatt exuded elegance as she walked the red carpet at Stardust Awards. The 'Shaandaar' star looked amazing wearing a gown by New York based Indian designer-duo Sachin and Babi from the Resort 2016 collection.

Alia Bhatt suffers an injury

It looks like all’s not well for Alia Bhatt as the actress just recently suffered a severe burn while performing on stage for an awards show.

Apparently, the actress was to be serenaded with a shower of firecrackers on stage and when that happened, a few sparks landed on her bare arm and scalded her. The brave Alia carried on with her performance despite the pain but reportedly broke down as soon as she got backstage.

Word is that Salman Khan, who was also performing that night, rushed over to Alia’s vanity van to make sure she was okay and send her home as soon as he found out about the accident. We hope she gets well soon!

Varun Dhawan moves on from Alia Bhatt!

Varun Dhawan, who has just begun shooting for his brother Rohit’s next film Dishoom with John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez is all set to collaborate with his Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania director Shashank Khaitan. But the buzz is that, this time around he won’t be sharing screen space with Alia Bhatt.

Varun Dhawan, who began filming Dishoom in Mumbai on November 13, will team up with his Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania director Shashank Khaitan immediately after he wraps up the action-adventure, which is being directed by his brother, Rohit Dhawan.

Varun will wrap up his brother’s action thriller before starting work with Shashank. Most of the filming of Dishoom will be done in Abu Dhabi. Varun is set to fly overseas with John and Jacky. Dishoom will release in 2016 after which he will move over to the next project with Khaitan. Confirming the news, Varun’s spokesperson told a tabloid,  “Varun will first wrap up Dishoom and only then move on to his next film“.The yet-to-be-titled film is a rom-com. Shashank locked the script this month.”

However, Alia Bhatt will not be a part of this project. Since the film will be a rom-com there was a buzz that Shashank will repeat cast from his debut film but this won’t be the case as the spokesperson clarified, “We have spoken to Varun and for the leading lady, we have a few actresses in mind but haven’t zeroed on anyone.The film’s shoot will be worked out depending on the availability of actors.

Sonam Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra: Who is Hottest Cover Girl of November 2015?

Our monthly 'hottest cover girl' poll is back and this November the four beauties vying for the top spot are Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut and Alia Bhatt. These surely are the four best covers of the month.

Sonam mixes things up on the cover of Grazia. She carries off a sweater and skirt with geat ease. Sonam surely deserves a thumbs up for trumping this casual and simple look with style. 

Priyanka's simple yet hot outing on the cover of American magazine "New You" sees her in a black off-shoulder dress. The highlight though is the side-swept hair and pink lips. Simply gorgeous. 

Kangana sports the same sweater-skirt combination as Sonam on the cover, but she goes for a chic monochrome look. What makes Kangana's cover outing unique is the short blonde hair that makes her stand out.

But the chicest cover this month surely belongs to Alia Bhatt for Femina. She ups her style quotient several notches this time around. The actress is seen wearing a black top and maroon pants and shoes. Could have gone terribly wrong, but somehow works this time!

So who do you think is the hottest cover girl of November 2015?

Did you know '2 States' director was infatuated with Alia Bhatt?

The actress was part of his directorial debut, '2 States', which released last year. The film will be produced by their mentor, Karan Johar. Though Alia is busy with other projects, there is no way she can say no to Abhishek’s film, considering the rapport they share. In fact, during the making of '2 States', Abhishek had even admitted that he was infatuated with Alia!

Not standing opposite Kareena in Udta Punjab: Alia Bhatt

Actress Alia Bhatt, who has starred with Shahid Kapoor in romantic comedy film Shaandaar, says she will feature in her own story in upcoming film Udta Punjab and will not be “standing opposite” Kareena Kapoor Khan in the film.

I'm not standing opposite her (Kareena) in Udta Punjab. There are four different tracks in the film. Her track is different from mine. Similarly, Shahid and Diljit Dosanjh will have their own track,” Alia said.

Udta Punjab, which is currently under production, will be the first time when Alia will star alongside another actress in a film.

Asked whether she feels competitive in Bollywood, the daughter of film-maker Mahesh Bhatt and yesteryear actress Soni Razdan, said, “Competition is inevitable in life. But I don't think that one should pay too much attention to what all is happening around. We are all happy people doing good work and just proud and happy for each other, in fact.”

So does she feel any pressure being a star kid?

Alia replied, “When I made my debut, I didn't make it in my family production. So it has nothing to do whether I come from a film background or not. Secondly, my expectations and pressure that I feel is to please the people who watch and appreciate my work."

"I just wish to please them (audience) and keep them happy. I try and hope to do as many versatile characters as I can.”

Alia started her career with Student Of The Year and has since impressed cine-goers with Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, 2 States and Highway.

Did the Shaandaar debacle shock Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt?

The much talked about and highly anticipated destination wedding film Shaandaar released last week. However, despite enjoying an extended holiday weekend, the film has underperformed at the box office and how. Contrary to expectations, Shaandaar that was estimated to be one of the biggest money spinners this year has turned to stone.

In fact if the lead pair's twitter profiles are anything to go by, then it certainly seems like they have gone into hiding, with their last tweets being just before and on the day of the film's release. But it isn't just their obvious absence from the social networking site that reveals their lost spirit in the film. In fact we also hear that the makers of the film have since cancelled quite a few promotional events that were scheduled to be held over the weekend. 

With this disaster and the stars quite evidently going into a depression mode, the usual blame game has begun, with questions being raised on whether Vikas Bahl's Queen was just his one off fluke success and that he has majorly failed as a filmmaker this time, or is it that the distribution team at Fox Star Studios has failed to capture the essence of the film, or was it the marketing and PR teams that over sold the film to the masses. However apart from these questions, another one that is being asked is that how was such a concept and script approved by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, since the company is known for its high quality content. 

On the other hand, the reasons that are said to be the strong causes of the film's underperformance are the highly negative reviews and the low key word of mouth that proved disastrous to the film. However, despite opening on a high note last Thursday, the film has shown a gradual but steady drop in overall box office collections. Adding to their woes, today being Monday, a day when usually every film's box office collections show a dip, we wonder what will be the fate of Shaandaar at the box-office.

Shaandaar’ box office collections: Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt starrer earns Rs 20.65 cr

Shaandaar’ box office collections managed to rake in Rs 20.65 crore by day 2.Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer earned a whopping Rs 13.10 crore on opening day but dropped to Rs 7.55 crore on day 2.  The film gathered a decent crowd in the morning shows with an occupancy rate of around 35% to race towards a day 1 triumph. And this it managed despite most reviewers panning the movie but day 2 box office collections took a nose-dive.

A good release date, great hype and publicity, striking chemistry between the lead pair and a solo release- Shaandaar had everything working in its favour. Yet the film could hardly make enough use of all that. But the good news for Alia Bhatt and Shahid Kapoor is that ‘Shaandaar’ has become the highest opening for both the actors!

‘Shaandaar’ opened well at the box office due to the Dussehra holiday across the country on day 1. The film enjoyed a good opening at major cities, including Mumbai, Delhi and others on day 1 but the drop in box office collections on day 2 is huge. Shahid and Alia’s film had an amazing buzz before it hit screens and it was expected to create a storm at the box office.

Though on a positive note, ‘Shaandaar’ has tattered the opening day’s box office collections of superstars like Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Roy’, Akshay Kumar’s ‘Baby’ and ‘Gabbar Is Back’, Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ and Kapil Sharma’s ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon’, making it the sixth highest box office opener of 2015.

From average to negative reviews for the film, and critics almost panning the film, ‘Shaandaar ‘ is not expected to grow on a good word of mouth now. The box office collections might plunge over the weekend and the film now needs to maintain a consistent figure in the next two days to put up a good show at the box office.

‘Shaandaar’ is directed by Vikas Bahl who is still enjoying the legacy of his film ‘Queen’, which was a huge blockbuster. The film also stars actors Sanjay Kapoor, Pankaj Kapoor and also a special appearance by Karan Johar.

Alia Bhatt: I am Not Taking Away Anybody Else's Work

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt said that she is not taking away anybody else's work. 

Alia made her debut in Bollywood with Karan Johar's 2012 film Student Of The Year.

She will soon be seen in Vikas Bahl's Shaandaar co-starring Shahid Kapoor. Apart fromShaandaar, Alia will also be seen in Kapoor And Sons, Udta Punjab and Shuddhi.

"I am not taking away anybody else's work. I am very happy to be working with so many talented directors and writers, who are penning scripts that are interesting for me. I think each character that I have played and am playing in my upcoming films are different from each other. So I am genuinely feeling very fortunate as that is something I always wanted to do," said Alia.

The actress is happy in her own space and is glad that she does not have to run after filmmakers.

"I also believe that directors come to me if they think I suit the part. I am not running to people saying, this film is mine, give it to me. I never say, I wish I was in that film, because every actor is suitable for a particular film," added Alia. 

The Highway star said that her life is now completely about work.

"I would like to believe that I have not changed fully but definitely my life is now completely about work. Now all I can see is movies, movies and movies. I think that's a mirror image of my personality," she said.

Alia also said that she loved working with Shahid in Shaandaar.

"It was very exciting to work with Shahid, Pankaj (Kapur) sir, Vikas and Sanah. Shahid's real family is my family in the movie so I have taken away his family. Shaandaar is a fun, fairy tale film because it has a very dreamy vibe. It has a lot of quirk also," added Alia.

Shaandaar is scheduled to release on October 22.

Alia Bhatt Would 'Love' to Play This Pakistani Singer in Biopic

Actress Alia Bhatt says that she would love to do a biopic in which she can explore herself more as an actor and the person that comes to her mind is Pakistani singer Nazia Hassan.

"I did not think much about it but I think I should do it now," Alia told reporters at a media interaction in Mumbai.

"I would love to do biopic on Pakistani pop sensation Nazia Hassan who died at an early age of 35. She was a singer and I am a singer too, so it will be interesting," she added.

There are many filmmakers who are making biopics on several personalities from different walks of life. From Sushant Singh Rajput's M.S Dhoni , Emraan Hashmi's Azhar, Aamir Khan's Dangal to Rani Laxmibai which stars Kangana Ranaut, the list is endless.

Alia, who will be next seen with Shahid Kapoor in Shaandaar also says that the actor is an amazing dancer.

"Shahid is such a good dancer and I have to work hard to reach his level on screen," she said.

The film is slated to release on October 22.

Alia Bhatt visits Sidharth Malhotra's house; reaches before the 'Kapoor and Sons' actor

Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra have been in news for long thanks to their rumoured love affair.
Recently, Alia seemed to give her alleged boyfriend a surprise by visiting his residence. Sidharth has just got back from abroad after wrapping up a schedule of Nitya Mehra's "Baar Baar Dekho".

However, the "Shaandaar" actress herself was in for a surprise as she reached Sidharth's residence much before his arrival. Though the two have never confessed their love on camera, much has been said about their relationship status.  Meanwhile, Alia's "Shaandaar" co-star Shahid Kapoor had sort of revealed the little secret. In an interview, Shahid candidly said that one thing he does not like about her is that her phone is always busy and she never takes his calls.

Revealing the reason behind Alia's phone always being busy, Shahid further added, "she is always talking to sid-marketing", and this remark left Alia blushing.
Although Shahid didn't take any names as such, was he talking about Sidharth?
In other news, Sidharth was in Glasgow for the shoot of "Baar Baar Dekho". The film will see a fresh pair of Sidharth and Katrina Kaif romancing each other for the first time.
It marks Mehra's directorial debut. She has earlier worked as an assistant director in several films, including "Life of Pi", "Don" and "The Namesake".
Backed by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's production banner Excel Entertainment, "Baar Baar Dekho" is scheduled to be released in 2016.
Sidharth is also working in "Kapoor and Sons" which also has his alleged girlfriend Alia. The two will be seen on silver screen together after their debut film "Student of the Year."
Meanwhile, check out the above slideshow to see photos of Alia reaching Sidharth's residence before him.

Shaandaar' moments with Alia Bhatt and Shahid Kapoor on sets of 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8'

Alia Bhatt and Vikas Bahl recently appeared on Shahid Kapoor's dance show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8" (also known as "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded") to promote their film "Shaandaar".

It was earlier reported that the final episode of the dance reality show will have the "Shaandaar" team. As the lead actor of the film, Shahid, is the judge of the show, he needs no invite but Alia is making a grand appearance in the finale.

The "2 States" actress will not just be adding charm to the episode, but will also be seen performing with Shahid on a song from "Shaandaar" and cheering for the finalists to perform their best.

Currently, Alia and Shahid are seen promoting their films in several television shows including "Comedy Nights With Kapil", "I Can Do That" and others.

Considering "Jhalak Reloaded" is Shahid's show, the film is bound to have a grand promotion on it.

Here's how Alia Bhatt and Tiger Shroff react to the jokes and memes on them

Tiger Shroff and Alia Bhatt have something else in common apart from being industry kids and a glitzy debut. Another thing that connects them is the number of jokes and memes made on them. While jokes on Alia started after her boo-boo during the rapid fire round on Koffee With Karan, Tiger has been at the receiving end of barbs for his slightly effeminate looks — fair skin, long hair and pink lips. Do these jokes affect them?

Alia answers, “Initially, I felt that people are just being too judgemental about one statement. I reacted each time I was made fun of.” But when she realised it wasn’t going to go away, the actress then found a way to deal with it. 

She decided to laugh at herself along with the others. She responded with a video, in which she made fun of herself, “I decided to take it in my stride and just move on. Big deal! People will keep asking me these questions for life and I can’t let this thing affect me forever.” 

Now she has reached a stage where the jokes don’t bother her anymore. “They’re still making jokes about me. There has been no change there. But let them happen, because I credit a lot of my popularity to these jokes. I am famous in Singapore because of these jokes,” she laughs.  “I don’t want people to change their outlook towards my films. They can think I am stupid, but just come and watch my films. That’s all.” 

Tiger, on the other hand, has a point to prove. “People say random things about me, like, he looks like a girl, he’s got pink lips, he must be gay and God knows what else. Initially, I was really dejected because of what was being written about me. But thanks to such criticism, I am working harder. I don’t want to be a part of the crowd and do what everyone else is doing. I would rather be in a zone of three-four people who are trying to do things differently. And slowly, the outlook of people towards me will change,” he smiles. 

Aamir Khan, who’s the latest victim of online trolling should take a few lessons from these youngsters!

Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt to suffer from a medical condition in 'Shaandaar'

Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer "Shaandaar" will throw light on a medical condition -- insomnia. Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterised by difficulty in falling asleep.

Vikas Bahl's "Shaandaar" has a twist that the makers had kept under wraps till now. Shahid and Alia will play the role of two insomniacs.

"Yes, it is true. Shahid and Alia are playing characters who are suffering from insomnia, which is, inability to get sleep. Insomnia is something most people have gone through at some point in their life which makes the film and their characters extremely relatable," said director Vikas Bahl in a statement.

The makers of "Shaandaar" have also included an old song from the 1958 film, "Post Box 999", which goes well with the concept of insomnia.

"Apart from being a destination wedding film, 'Shaandaar' is about this story of two insomniacs. Shahid's and Alia's characters don't get sleep at night, so the makers of the film bought the rights of the popular track from the 1958 film 'Post Box 999', 'Neend Na Mujhko Aaye' (picturised on Sunil Dutt and Shakeela). For 'Shaandaar', the romantic number has been recreated by Mikey McCleary and picturised on Alia and Shahid. The song, originally sung by Hemant Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar fits perfectly in this film about insomniacs," added a spokesperson in the statement.

Along with Shahid and Alia, "Shaandaar" also features Pankaj Kapur and Shahid's sister Sanah Kapoor. The film is slated to be released on 22 October.

Nazdeekiyaan': Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt recreate the magic of black and white era

The makers of "Shaandaar" released another song, 'Nazdeekiyaan', recently that features Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.

This romantic track has recreated the magic of the black and white era. Shahid and Alia looked mesmerising performing waltz around a ballroom.

However, Shahid's father Pankaj Kapoor also gave a tough competition to his son while he performed with Alia in the beginning.

At the end of the song, Alia and Shahid come together for their ballroom dance and the video shows eight duplicates of the couple performing on this slow romantic track.

Composed by Amit Trivedi, the lyrics of "Nazdeekiyan" has been written by Amitabh Bhattacharya and it has been sung by Nikhil Paul George and Neeti Mohan.

Directed by Vikas Bahl and co-produced by Phantom Films, Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and Fox, "Shaandaar" has created a lot of curiosity.

In the film, both Alia and Shahid suffer from insomnia and fall in love in the middle of a larger-than-life wedding. It is an out-and-out youthful love story focusing on two characters -- Alia and Jagjinder Joginder. Alia's father Bipin (played by Pankaj Kapoor) adds a twist to their romance as he believes no guy will ever be good enough for his daughter. 

While Alia is a dreamer, Jagjinder Joginder is a doer and he feels he can make anything happen. And Bipin hates him for obvious reasons.

This is the first time thatShahid and Alia are teaming up for a film. "Shaandaar" is supposed to be India's first ever film on "destination wedding".

The film is slated to release around Dussehra on 22 October.

Shaandaar: Do you know what Shahid Kapoor is teaching Alia Bhatt these days?

Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are quite the talk of the town these days, thanks to their upcoming film Shaandaar. The Vikal Bahl project is in its post-production stage now, and the brains behind the film are making sure they keep Shaandaar trending till the release of the film.

So, after the trailer of the film made it straight to the list of best trailers of this year, the Shaandaar guys went ahead and released the first song from the film - Gulaabo. Once Gulaabo was on all music charts, the title song of the film - Shaam Shaandaar - hit the web. Both the songs have been watched, listened to and shared many times since their release. And now, the third song from the film - Nazdeekiyan - is soon to be released.

According to insiders, the song is to feature Shahid and Alia waltzing to its tunes. And the ace dancer that Shahid is, he has now taken the task of making Alia too perfect her ballroom-moves. All through the song, Shahid was right next to Alia, helping her get her moves just right. The song has been shot iEarlier, during the launch of Gulaabo in Mumbai, Alia had been quoted as saying, "Gulaabo was our first ever song that we danced together to. I was damn nervous because I was supposed to be dancing with Shahid. Even with just 10 per cent of his dancing skills, he looks great on stage. So, I had to match up to him. I worked very hard. At one stage, I even burst out crying and Bosco (choreographer) used to say that I have penguin feet. But I have to say Shahid also helped me a lot.And all that hard work on Alia's part and coaching on Shahid's seem to have paid off well for both the actors. In both Gulaabo and Shaam Shaandaar, Alia and Shahid have nailed their dance moves. Whether or not they will be able to recreate the magic in Nazdeekiyan too is something that only time will tell!

Alia Bhatt: Fear of Failure Makes Me Work Harder

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt said that the fear of failure makes her work harder.

"Fear of failure is a constant thought and I can't say that I never think about it. Probably I always think about it, that's why I feel like I will always work harder," Alia told IANS in a telephonic interview.

Nevertheless, the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan also believes that "living on the fear of future makes you miss out on the beauty of the present".

"So more than fearing it, I am just aware that this is what it is right now. But there is something called change which is the only constant and things will keep changing. I have to keep adapting, but nonetheless, I have to always work hard and never fail," said Alia.

"I can't forget the fact that hard work, dedication, respect of your fellow co-workers and the people that you interact with and, of course, the warmth and love that you give them, is most important. And that is something that I will make sure of following throughout my life," added Alia.

Alia made her debut in Bollywood with the 2012 film Student Of The Year which was directed by Karan Johar.

The 22-year old actress will soon be seen in Vikas Bahl's Shaandaar co-starring Shahid Kapoor. Shaandaar is scheduled to release on October 22.

"I feel like Shaandaar is one step into a mad world which I have never been a part of. What set this film apart is the quirky, mad kind of space, which I really like. It has a quirky, interesting and a beautiful looking vibe to it, but at the same time the emotions are real," said Alia.

Alia has sung a song in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, in which she featured along with Varun Dhawan.

When Alia was asked when she is going to sing next, she said: "It will happen probably in my films only. I think I will stick to singing for my films only for now."

Alia also loves connecting with her fans. She wore a 'doodle' dress at an event while promoting Shaandaar, which featured poems and messages sent by her fans. The actress said that her fans make her feel special.

"I don't believe in avoiding my fans at all. It they are giving me appreciation, I have to be thankful and grateful for that appreciation. Honestly, I want to reach out to them and make them feel special because with their love, they make me feel special everyday," said Alia.

Doing the dungaree: Flaunt it like Kangana, Alia and Amrita

With the comfort, ease of movement and the endless styling options this garment provides, we wouldn't shy from calling a dungaree a wardrobe staple and for the full impact, it better a piece in classic denim.

If all that's stopping you from wearing a dungaree is the styling, then we have you covered! Be it a brunch with your girls or that music festival you have been dying to go to, here are the best ways to wear a dungaree.

A printed tee acts as a great canvas to show-off a dungaree. You can choose between a graphic tee, a busy patterned one or a pick with cute tiny prints like anchors or those quirky Chumbak like motifs. Kangana Ranaut looked so cool wearing her dungarees with a cap and a slogan tee.

Alia Bhatt reveals her idea of a perfect date

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt says that she would rather prefer a date wearing pajamas at home instead of a candlelight dinner all decked up.
“Honestly, I’m not into candlelight dinners — going out and dressing up. I want to be in my pajamas at home, and watch my favourite TV shows; Game Of Thrones and Friends. I want to eat my favourite cheap food, whether it is pizza, or other cheap food like samosas or chaat,” she revealed.
But all the boys interested in taking out this Bollywood beauty should know that she has chosen to become a vegetarian and a pepperoni pizza might not strike her fancy.

I want to be in the comfort of my home with my partner and be myself and that would be a shaandaar date for me,” said Alia talking about her ideal date.
Responding to Alia’s answer, Shahid quipped: “That means you’ll be throwing pizzas and chaat at each other.”
Alia and Shahid were promoting their film Shaandaar at a college when one of the students asked Alia who she would like to go on a date with from the film industry except Shahid, he was quick to interrupt, “Why did you leave me out?”
When reminded that he was married and hence committed, he replied: “Everybody is committed in some way or the other. At least, hypothetically let me be alive.”
The actress asked the crowd for suggestions. Names of Bollywood actors came from all corners, all except for Shahid’s. At this, he said: “I’m one of you and you’re taking other names and not my name, I’m very hurt.”
Finally Alia said, “I’ll go on a Shaandaar date with Shahid and all students of Mithibai College.”

Here's what Alia Bhatt thinks about Anushka Sharma's beau Virat Kohli

The belle with the most, the very charming Alia Bhatt is undoubtedly on a climb. All grown up, this star child is in for some major fashion revamp. Fun, fearless, and confident, she experiments with deep and sultry hues. She is a mama's girl and dreams of working together with her someday.

Shahid Kapoor turns dance teacher for Alia Bhatt!

Look who has turned a dance teacher for Alia Bhatt! And we think Alia Bhatt could not have been luckier than this. We have always maintained that Shahid Kapoor is an efforless dancer. While other B-town dancing stars work hard to give their best dancing move, it is Shaid who just does every step imaginable with so much and tremendous passion. He truly is an effortless dancer with incredible energy! 

Gulaabo song from Shaandaar has Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt flaunting some suave moves, Shahid and Alia’s dance moves have taken the song to an altogether different level. However, not many know that it was Shahid’s extra work on Alia that made the steps look so good. A source shares, “The song has been choreographed by Bosco of Bosco-Caesar and Alia needed some time to get the moves right, before the final shoot. Shahid who is known for his dancing skills, pitched in to help her during the rehearsals and even during the shoot. The duo spent extra time rehearsing and ended up receiving a lot of compliments from the team for their energy in the song.” Gulaabo is the first song to be released from the film. The song was launched with much fan fare recently.
