#2019recap: From Priyanka Chopra's MET Gala look to Bollywood's selfie with PM Modi, moments that stormed the internet

A much eventful year comes to an end. 2019 was full of pleasant and disappointing cinematic experiences, achievements and controversies, among other newsworthy developments. As we head towards a brand new year, we looked back at some of the most viral moments and photos from Bollywood that took the internet by storm. Check out below! Bollywood's iconic selfie with PM Narendra Modi A bunch of A-listers from Bollywood flew to New Delhi to discuss the role of cinema in the building of the nation. From Karan Johar, Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana to Rohit Shetty, Rajkummar Rao and Sidharth Malhotra, everyone was there! This epic selfie was what ruled all the internet trends for the next few days. Priyanka Chopra's MET Gala look The 2019 Met Gala's theme was Camp: Notes on Fashion, and Priyanka Chopra was certainly one of the biggest news-makers of the event. Her very dramatic caged dress with feathered skirt and long cape from Dior, teamed up with mes

5 Bollywood Weddings In 2020

2019 was the year of heart-breaking no big splashy weddings in Bollywood in 2019. In the coming year we hope to see some high-profile couples tie the knot in lavish extensively covered weddings. Here’s assessing the marriage potential of 5 in-the-news couples. 1.  Malaika Arora-Arjun Kapoor : No wedding plans for this just-happy-to-be-together couple for various reasons. While Malaika has her hands full of her responsibilities as a single mother (which she would not want to share with anyone else) Arjun’s sister Anshula must be married before he thinks of his own. Hence in 2020, this forever-clicked couple would just be happy being a couple. Any problems with that? 2. Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor : The cynics didn’t give this relationship for more than six months. His commitment-phobic record spoke for itself. But Ranbir has grown older and wiser. He is not the same heartbreaker who dated and dumped Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, and other unmentionable names.  He wants to settle dow

Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek reveals how playing Freddie Mercury influenced him in James Bond - No Time To Die

2019 was a phenomenal year for Rami Malek who starred as Queen singer, late Freddie Mercury, in Bohemian Rhapsody. While his performance was highly applauded by the critics, he is moving ahead with yet another interesting role and this time as a villain in James Bond: No Time To Die.  This will be the final installment for Daniel Craig who takes on the 007 role for the last time. Speaking about his villainous role Safin in the upcoming Bond film, Rami Malek revealed how Bohemian Rhapsody taught him to avoid being a carbon copy while prepping for the role. “If I went in there and tried to make a carbon copy of someone, what joy or fun would that be for anybody? I guess that may be a lesson I learned from Mr. Mercury,” he told Empire Magazine. “If it’s not original, then why bother? I’ve pocketed some things from some of my favourites. But I tried to every day imbue this character with something I thought made sense for the character, but might also at the same time be shocking and

"2020- bring it on"- Kriti Sanon says goodbye to 2019 on a much positive note

From being an engineer to one of the most popular actors of the tinsel town right now, Kriti Sanon has come a long way. Nothing happens without persistence, patience and continued efforts, and she put all three plentifully. As we bid adieu to 2019, an emotional Kriti shared with us how this decade brought so many changes in her life and put her in a place she wanted to be. "In 2010, I realized that i wanted to act.. from being an engineer to a model to finally stepping into the world of my dreams as an actor! This decade has been soooo special- A decade of “dreams coming true”..A decade of self discovery, of finding my calling, figuring my craft and above all.. Following my heart ❤️ .. I learned so much, got over some of my fears, opened up as a person, broadened my perspective, realized my wings, made amazing friends, fell in love, went through a heartbreak, moved on much stronger, worked my ass off and absolutely loved and lived every bit of it," she writes.  

The Kapil Sharma Show: Ajay Devgn reveals the reason behind his silent nature

The husband and wife duo will be seen spilling out interesting snippets from their life as a couple on The Kapil Sharma Show . In a candid conversation, Kapil enquired from Ajay whether his silent nature is an aftereffect of Kajol being the talkative one. Confirming the same Ajay comments, “Yes, this is true. She has a habit of speaking on my behalf as well.” Conversations continued when Kapil posed another question to Ajay. He asked about a rumor that when a film has Kajol's falling sequence it automatically becomes a hit that’s why Ajay tries to incorporate such sequences. Hearing this Ajay remarked, “Making her fall for rea

Less than a day to go before a brand new year arrives. Who else is restless? Anushka Sharma is. The actor is presently holidaying in Switzerland with husband Virat Kohli, and can't get enough of the snowy mountains. We earlier showed you photos from the vacay, and they look perfect. Meanwhile, Anushka also took to Instagram to share a picture of herself. Clad in a warm jacket, fur shoes and cap, she poses on the streets of Saanen. "Gazing at 2020," she writes.

Shaheen Bhatt brings to us Alia Bhatt's RESTING STRESSED FACES from 2019!

If you think of Alia Bhatt as a true queen of fantastic expressions, you aren't wrong. But guess we were yet to see the diversity! Shaheen Bhatt, being just the perfect elder sister that she is, carefully captured faces of Alia that she wouldn't allow to be clicked otherwise! After all, this is what siblings do. Shaheen took to Instagram to share a collage of Alia, flashing a super stressed face in every frame. "2019 and Alia’s Resting Stressed Face," the caption read. The actor herself did not anticipate this and probably had no clue that these photos existed. She was soon to comment. 'Omg this is my perpetual memory of her,' wrote her best friend Akansha Ranjan Kapoor. "Awwww. She’s just concentrating very hard," wrote mother Soni Razdan.

When Namik Paul replaced the Christmas tree for Erica Fernandes!

Erica Fernandes has been celebrating Christmas in full swing and her Instagram has left her fans in awe of the gorgeous actress. On the sets of Kasautii Zindagii Kay, still carrying the festive mood with her, she turned to actor Namik Paul to become her makeshift Christmas tree. Erica and Namik were earlier seen in Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi and Ek Duje Ke Vaaste, respectively. Even though their shows aired on the same channel during the same time, the fans were keen on seeing these two together in a show. Looks like, their prayers have been answered because there are reports of Namik Paul joining Kasautii Zindagii Kay. Even though the details of his roles have been kept under wraps, the excitement is quite high among their fans. Taking to her Instagram, Erica posted a couple of pictures from the sets of the show where Namik replaced her Christmas tree with the caption, “A lil late in decorating the Christmas tree ???? @namikpaul” Take a look at the pictures!   View th

Bigg Boss 13: Rashami Desai breaks down ahead of Arhaan Khan's eviction

Basically, Bigg Boss 13 has been quite an unpredictable ride so far. The latest to get evicted from the house is Arhaan Khan, whose romance with Rashami Desai made quite a lot of news. While everyone dropped hints on how Arhaan might not be the right guy for Rashami and host Salman Khan busted some serious facts about his personal life, Rashami seemed to give two hoots and stuck to Arhaan. A day back, however, Salman announced that one among Arhaan, Shefali Bagga and Madhurima Tuli would be evicted since they were at the bottom. This got Rashami emotional and the two could be seen at the confession room while she hugged Arhaan and broke down in tears. She is also seen telling him how she was feeling heavy from inside. Such emotions are infectious and Arhaan is also seen hugging her back, looking all emotional. Soon after his eviction, Arhaan also slammed the show in an interview and said that his past was unnecessarily dug up. Salman had earlier shockingly revealed that Arhaan is a

#2019Recap: Salman’s supremacy, Akshay’s dominance, rise of Hrithik, Shahid, Vicky – a look at the notable box office trends

Another year has ended but this one was different. It had too many twists and turns. Several films that were not expected to work or were to be average grossers became huge hits. On the other hand, a few films that could have easily been biggest grossers of the year, underperformed. In this Bollywood Hungama Special Feature, we take a look at sixteen interesting trends of the ticket window in 2019: 1. Underperforming year for Salman Khan Salman Khan had two films, both of which failed to really impress the audiences. His Eid release, Bharat , was met with mixed response, which affected its overall box office outcome (Rs 194 crore). His Christmas offing, Dabangg 3 , was poorer and has failed to reach even the Rs. 150 crore mark. 2. Even underperforming films of Salman Khan go over Rs. 100 crore Despite Bharat, Dabangg 3 and even 2018’s Race 3 not doing well, Salman Khan is still a force to reckon with. Even if his films don’t impress, they still manage to cross the Rs. 100 cror
