Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, whose relationship has literally been through a rollercoaster ride through the year, are finally catching up on lost time. The couple is relishing a yoga retreat in Uttarakhand with snow-capped mountains all around them. They headed to Dehradun last weekend. Anushka, who has been sporting a Rudraksha mala lately, has been spending time feeding peacocks. Her cricketer beau has also been sporting a similar accessory.

Given that the two are spending New Year's Eve with the parents from both sides, buzz is that marriage could be one of the topics of discussion at their dinner table although there has been no confirmation of the same.

Although the two havent been very honest about their feelings on social media, Katrina Kaif for the first time has done a very smart deed by letting the cat out of the bag in a very subtle manner.

Yes! Katrina while attending the episode of Koffee With Karan gave us some really interesting facts which could be hinting towards her breakup with Ranbir Kapoor. When asked by Karan Johar what she doesn’t like among people, the actress quickly responded saying she hates dishonest people and being lied to. In another question she was asked if she’s been cheated on in a relationship and the answer was a yes. That definitely was enough proof to us.

IS AAMIR KHAN'S DANGAL AN INSULT TO COACH COMMUNITY ??

Aamir Khan's Dangal may be a box-office superhit and inspiring many, but there is always an another side of the coin. The movie has left many coaches in the country feeling hurt.

The film, based on the life and struggles of wrestling coach Mahavir Phogat and his daughters Geeta and Babita, potrays India's wrestling coach at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in extremely poor light.

Even, the real life wrestling coach, PR Sondhi on whom the character of on-screen coach PR Kadam is based, is not so happy with the negative portrayal in the film.

Coaches do play a major role in a sports person's success and sometimes even are more happy at their trainees success than the sport person itself.

OMG! Mohenjo Daro actress Pooja Hegde refuses to work with Sooraj Pancholi because of THIS reason!

Popular South Indian film actress Pooja Hegde is only one film old in Bollywood and she’s already throwing tantrums. The former beauty pageant winner was lucky enough to be signed opposite Hrithik Roshan but that clearly wasn’t enough for the actress. The film fared below average at the box office and Pooja is still taking time to come to terms with her miserable failure. As a result of this, she turned down a role opposite Sooraj Pancholi in Allah Ke Banday.

SpotBoye recently revealed to us that Pooja doesn’t believe Sooraj is a big star and she doesn’t want to work with someone whose name isnt that good in the industry. That could be a little too much for a newbie we think! On the other hand, Pooja is all set to work in the South Indian film industry once again. A film unit also revealed to us that she will be working with Allu Arjun in a leading film called DJ. This will be her third film after Oka Laila Kosam and Mukunda.

For people who are unaware of Pooja’s career, Pooja started working in Bollywood in 2016 but she has been a part of the industry in 2010 and also participated in Miss India Universe pageant.

SilverSnake Michelle – Her Snakeness

SilverSnake Michelle begins their Her Snakeness with Drops of Time. We have taken a look at the single before, but the re-mastered version that leads off Her Snakeness feels that much more punchy and in-your-face.

SilverSnake Michelle begins their Her Snakeness with Drops of Time. We have taken a look at the single before, but the re-mastered version that leads off Her Snakeness feels that much more punchy and in-your-face.

Drops of Time sets up the stage for the twists and turns listeners will experience through the entirety of Her Snakeness. The Deep Green has a chunky bass, a passionate set of vocals that simultaneously bring forth hints of 1980s goth, 1990s darkwave, and a more current, contemporary sort of rock to the mix. Diallele brings in just a hint of new age-style keys before dropping out, allowing SilverSnake Michelle to create a tremendously effecting composition in the vein of Tori Amos and Amy Lee.

Backwards (Silversnake, Answer This…) shatters to conception that late-album tracks are less memorable than those at the beginning registers of the album. The darker and slinkier sound brought here showcases a different side to SilverSnake Michelle, while adding further variety to the narrative that had already been crafted up to that point of the album.

Requiem (Slán Leis Na Nathair Airgid) is our favorite track on Her Snakeness. There is a progressive metal sound that plays at the background, eliciting comparisons to Blind Guardian. The taut instrumentation that is de rigeur here will keep listeners on the edges of their seats until the release concludes. The vocals are out of this world; hints of operatic brilliance are scattered among the rock demeanor here. The production of this album allows there to be a confident and sure sound that permeates from the opening strains of the disc until the concluding notes of Madness. Her Snakeness is a solid, engrossing album.

Top Tracks: The Deep Green, Backwards (Silversnake, Answer This…), Requiem (Slán Leis Na Nathair Airgid)

KANGANA CHANGED CLOTHES BEHIND ROCKS FOR 'RANGOON'

National Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut, who will be seen in filmmaker Vishal Bhardwajs Rangoon, says she used to change her costumes behind rocks due to lack of facilities while shooting for the periodic drama film.

During her appearance on actress Neha Dhupia's show "#NoFilterNeha", Kangana talked about some of the weird situation that she had to go through while shooting for her films. She said that while shooting for "Queen", she used to change costumes at cafes in Europe. Something similar happened while she was shooting for "Rangoon" in Arunachal Pradesh.

"That happens all the time. When you're thrown out of your comfort zone, initially its intimidating. It doesn't really matter if you're a star or not a star," Kangana said. "It just depends on the kind of project that you choose. For example, for ‘Rangoon', we were taken to these remote valleys of Arunachal Pradesh. There were literally no villages, nothing, not even rest rooms."

"I was p**ing behind rocks, changing behind rocks. My own people would just cover me. Everyone was, so was Shahid (Kapoor). There was nothing, so what do you do?" she added.

TIGER SHROFF PAYS TRIBUTE TO MJ IN 'MUNNA MICHAEL'

Tiger Shroff, who is currently shooting for director Sabbir Khans Munna Michael, has paid tribute to the late King of Pop Michael Jackson by replicating his moves in the film. And the first look of the movie shows the actor is trying to give his best shot to emulate MJ.

Tiger is seen wearing a hat and striking a pose similar to the signature Michael Jackson pose. Three massive sets reflecting Mumbai's nightlife were created at a studio here for a special song, which will feature over 400 dancers and will be choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, read a statement. The special song, which will be incorporating moves from some of Hollywood's finest background artistes, will open the film.

"Michael Jackson is the greatest and this entire film is dedicated to him. It's a new journey and I hope he's watching," Tiger said in a statement. Director Sabbir said: "The song was recorded in Mumbai and sent to Los Angeles, where a team of American choreographers created dance videos, which our Bollywood team and Tiger have recreated here." "We're keeping all the quintessential elements of Hindi cinema -- heroism, music, dance and action -- intact while trying to raise the bar".

Tiger will be imitating some of MJ's most iconic dance moves, including the `toe-stand', `crotch grab', `moonwalk', `feet shuffle', `MJ spin', `anti-gravity lean', `sideslide', 'robot' and `jacket throwback'. Producer Viki Rajani said: "As we all know, Tiger is one of the best dancers in Bollywood and this movie will distance him for the others. He moves like magic and in 'Munna Michael', people are going to see some unbelievable moves from him. With this movie we are looking to leave a benchmark for dancing in Bollywood."

Backed by Eros International and NextGen Films, "Munna Michael", which also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and newcomer Nidhhi Agerwal, will release on July 7, 2017.

ANYTHING ON INTERNET WON'T BE ON '#NOFILTERNEHA' : NEHA DHUPIA

There have been celebrity chat shows galore. But actress Neha Dhupia, who is set to host audio talk show #NoFilterNeha on music streaming service Saavn, says what sets apart her show will be her guests sharing insights in an unfiltered light.

Neha is also co-producing the show with an episode featuring witty filmmaker Karan Johar. The show, which will be aired once a week on every Tuesday, will feature celebrities ranging from Bollywood faces, sportstars, musicians and authors. Yuvraj Singh, Vishal Dadlani and Chetan Bhagat are some of the names who will be seen as guests on the show.

Neha says her guests were uninhibited about answering most questions."Usually when people do interviews... I have seen a lot of celebrities say that 'Oh no, sorry, we can't answer next question', but all the people who came on this show were so bright, intelligent and witty, they knew how to work around the question, they turned around everything," Neha told us.

The "Phas Gaye Re Obama" actress said the discussion with the celebrities would not be about their personal lives or professional lives in particular. "We did not question anyone on their personal lives because it's not what the show is. We didn't discuss their professional lives. We just discussed what no one has ever heard about these people and you will hear them in that unfiltered light.

"That is what is different about this show. Anything that is there on net is not going to be there on the show," the "MTV Roadies X4" judge said. On the movie front, Neha will next be seen in "Moh Maya Money", also starring actor Ranvir Shorey. It will release on November 11.

Acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan, who has made inroads into Hollywood, has won awards galore, but he says an Oscar is one trophy that can change everything for an artiste.

In an interview to writer Raja Sen for the October Issue of Architectural Digest India, Irrfan opened up about his Oscar fantasy while discussing an area of his Oshiwara house where he has stacked his awards.  Asked where he will keep the Oscar when he gets it, Irrfan said: "So many awards mean so little, but that...that is an award that would change everything; it can open up every choice for an actor."

SUNNY LEONE HAS ALL THE TALENT TO BECOME MAINSTREAM HEROINE : RAJEEV CHAUDHURI

Beiiman Love helmer Rajeev Chaudhury thinks actress Sunny Leone has enough talent to be a mainstream heroine.

"Why not Sunny Leone? I think she has all the talent to become a mainstream heroine. She has the Indian look. I watched her films like 'Jism 2' and 'Ragini MMS'. I was so convinced that she definitely deserves much better than what she is doing," he said at the music launch of the film when asked why he chose the "Jism 2" actress for the film.

"I prepared the script for Sunny. Sunny liked the script and we tried to give the film a different look. Sunny is different in this film. She is not the same Sunny what you have been seeing till now. She performed very well in all her films and in this film too. But in this film, she has done something out of the box. She has done a substantial job which is going to become a new track for her. That's what I feel," he added.

"This is Sunny's best performance till date. She has acted tremendously as good as Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone. She has done justice to the role. She is fantastic. You'll watch her soon," the director said. The erotic thriller is directed and produced by Rajeev Chaudhari. It stars Sunny Leone and Rajniesh Duggall and will mark the acting debut of Sunny's husband Daniel Weber.

ARJUN KAPOOR INSPIRED BY ANIL'S OFF-SCREEN PERSONA

Actor Arjun Kapoor looks up to his uncle Anil Kapoor. He says more than his on screen charisma, he is inspired by the veteran actor for the way he leads his life off the camera.

"So, more than inspiration - I've seen the journey, so for me, if I achieve whatever I do it will be out of the fact that I have learnt from watching him for a long period of time and it's more the off camera stuff that is more inspirational. On camera, of course, what he's done is amazing," Arjun said in a statement. The son of producer Boney Kapoor made his debut with "Ishaqzaade" in 2012, and went on to do films like "Gunday", "2 States", "Tevar", and "Ki & Ka".

Arjun says that growing up around Anil was a "very big paradox". "You know, subconsciously, I have grown up around having him next to me while I have watched him on screen. It is a very big paradox to live in, where I'm eating rajma chawal and looking at him and then I am watching the big screen," he said. The actor opened about his equation with actor-producer Anil during an episode of "Vogue BFFs". The episode will air on Saturday on Colors Infinity.
