Upen Patel proposes to Karishma Tanna!

Upen Patel went back into the Bigg Boss house saying he wanted a chance to complete what he had left unfinished. Now we know what it was! Ever since the actor was out, he has been rooting for Karishma Tanna to win the show.

The moment he entered the show, he proposed to the leggy beauty. Says a source, "Upen and Karishma were sitting on the bed and chatting, when suddenly Upen caught hold of her hand and told her that he will put a ring on her finger the moment they are out of the house. He told Karishma that he has always liked her, irrespective of whether she was at her best or worst behavior. He also said that he doesn't care about her past." Upen also gifted her an Elie Saab perfume.

Karishma, who was taken aback by the proposal, said that she needed time to think. The source adds, "Though Karishma seemed flummoxed by Upen's proposal - she told him she doesn't know how to react - she is quite comfortable with it."

Incidentally, the actress already has a boyfriend, the restaurateur Rushabh Choksi, who owns Escobar. In fact, she even keeps saying that she is in an relationship. However, when asked for his reaction Rushabh said, "I have nothing to say. Karishma and I are very good friends and nothing more."

Actor Sanjay Dutt arrives back at his residence. Photo: Yogen ShahActor Sanjay Dutt, convicted in the Mumbai serial blasts case, on Thursday left home for jail to surrender on expiry of his 14-day furlough but was back home again, apparently due to lack of coordination between the prison and police authorities on his application seeking an extension of leave of absence."Sanjay Dutt reached Pune jail along with my colleague this afternoon when there was a news flash that the Minister concerned has made a statement that since the application seeking extension of furlough is pending, he (Dutt) does not require to surrender," Bollywood star's lawyer Hitesh Jain said.
"Hence we have given a letter to prison authorities that since such a news has been flashed we will wait for another 24 hours. If there is no word by then, Dutt will surrender tomorrow," he told PTI.
When contacted, Rajendra Dhamane, Deputy Inspector General (prisons), Pune, said, "Sanjay Dutt cited bad health as reason for extension of furlough. We asked the Mumbai Police to verify if the reason cited by the convict is true. We sent them a correspondence but have not received any response from the local police yet."
However, Joint Police Commissioner (Law and Order) Dhanjay Kamlakar, who is the in-charge of all 93 police stations in Mumbai, said, "We have not received any communication from prison authorities to verify anything pertaining to Dutt."
Minister of State for Home Ram Shinde said DIG of Prisons, Pune, has not taken a decision on the extension of Dutt's furlough as yet. "It is upto the authorities to decide whether he should be given an extension or not. If he gets it, fine. If he doesn't, he will have to go back to jail. But no decision has been taken as yet," he told PTI.

The 55-year-old actor, convicted in the serial blasts case for illegal possession an AK-56 rifle and its destruction, was released on a 14-day leave of furlough by the Yerawada Central Jail authorities on December 24 as he wanted to be with his family in the New Year.
Before leaving his home for jail he told reporters that he had requested for an extension of furlough on December 27 which was still under process. "Since the law stipulates that I should surrender myself before the authorities if I am not granted an extension, I am going to do so now," he said.
Dutt had earlier been granted furlough in October 2013 for 28 days on health grounds, followed by a similar leave in December 2013 to tend to his "ailing" wife Manyata.
A controversy had erupted when newspapers published photographs of Manyata reportedly attending a film screening, raising doubts about the actor's claim of his wife's illness.
Dutt is undergoing the remainder of his five-year jail term for possessing illegal firearm that was part of a cache of weapons meant to be used during the 1993 blasts.

Bigg Boss Halla Bol: Farah Khan as a host disappoints, fans miss Salman Khan!

We asked fans if Farah Khan’s debut as Bigg Boss Halla Bol host was any good. Here is what you guys had to say

When it was revealed that Salman Khan will bid adieu to Bigg Boss 8 and Farah Khan had been roped in to fill in his shoes in the spin off of the popular reality show, fans were shocked with this unexpected turn of events. While many were saddened with Salman’s exit from the show, a hot topic became the centre of discussion among the gossip mongers – Will Farah Khan be as good a host as Salman Khan was?


The first episode of Bigg Boss Halla Bol was aired yesterday and all the speculations and predictions on Farah’s debut were put to rest. We asked fans if they liked the Happy New Year director as the host and this is what they had to say. 60% of Bigg Boss fans said that they missed Salman Khan on the show, indirectly stating that they were disappointed with Farah’s hosting skills. 20% of the fans said that they had lost interest in the show and have stopped watching Bigg Boss all together. Only 20% of the viewers seemed to be happy seeing Farah as the host, as they thought she did a fine job at it.

Looking at the poll results, we are not surprised that Salman’s raw charisma is certainly missed by fans. However, we feel it would be too early to write off Farah as a disappointment, as one would agree that filling Salman’s shoes is a really tough task. With more episodes to come, we hope that Farah manages to recapture the losing interest of fans in the show

Here’s what Salman Khan has promised Jacqueline Fernandez!

There’s definitely something brewing between the Kick co-stars. Read on to find out the full scoop!

So we all know how Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez have retained a special bond, ever since their last blockbuster film Kick. The two seem to have got along quite well and constantly venture out together for various outings. In fact, their latest getaway was the highly controversial Sri Lanka visit. Remember how Jacky defended Salman on the whole issue by tweeting about Sallu’s good heart and generosity? It was really sweet of her!

However, apart from that, what raises our eyebrows even further this time is Sallu’s ‘promise’ to this Sri Lankan beauty. Yes! In one of her recent interviews, Jacky herself made a confession stating that Salman has promised her something. What is it? Is it anything to do with the proposal? Well, yes! But before inclining it to any of those lovie dovie confessions, Jacky has stated this only in context to her next ‘film proposal’ with Salman!

On being asked if she has signed any more films with Salman, the Roy actress said, “No, not as yet, but he promised me something.” Well, knowing how considerate Salman is about Jacky, we think this promise will soon come to play! Can’t wait, right BollywoodGupshupers?

Sonali Raut: Happy to be out of Bigg Boss at the right time

Sonali Raut, who was evicted from the house recently, is happy to step out after her stint on the show for 105 days. The newbie actress considers herself lucky as she had no plans of being away from her family anymore.
Sonali will not be a part of the Halla Bol series which kick started on January 4 with Farah Khan taking over as the host of the show. But Sonali is content with her 15 weeks stint and glad about her eviction at the right time.

Sonali Raut is happy to be out of the Bigg Boss house 

 

 

"I think I came out at the right time as I could not have stayed away from my family anymore. I stayed there for 105  days and I am happy that I survived till the end. I had no clue that the show got extended with a new series 'Bigg Boss Halla Bol'," Sonali told PTI in an interview.
'Bigg Boss Halla Bol' will see top five contestants - Gautam Gulati, Pritam Singh, Karishma Tanna, Dimpy and Ali Quli Mirza compete with new challengers Ajaz Khan, Mahek Chahal, Sana Khan, Rahul Mahajan and Sambhavna Seth.
However, Sonali feels that the new season of the show is unfair for the existing five contestants because they are emotionally stressed.
"I feel it's highly unfair because after staying in 'Bigg Boss 8' for more than three months without any clue of the outside world, it must be emotionally challenging for them. It will be tough for them to compete with fresh energies," she added.

Sonali was often being tagged as the laziest participant and was known for her closeness with co-contestants like Gautam and Upen. But such criticism does not bother her.
"I take those criticism about me with a pinch of salt. It didn't bother me at all," she added.
The actress said now she knows herself well after being a part of the show.
"I discovered many new things about myself. I know my weaknesses and strengths. I know how to survive in an extreme conditions after being the part of those tasks," she said.
Apart from Sonali, Puneet Issar also got evicted this weekend. The actor entered the Bigg Boss house as a part of the secret society along with Pritam Singh and Deepshikha.
