Ranbir Kapoor in no hurry to tie the knot!

Mumbai: A lot has been said and written about the relationship between Ranbir Kapoor andKatrina Kaif . The two, who have firmly remained tight-lipped about their relationship status, have often been under media scrutiny, for all obvious reasons. They are certainly Bollywood’s unofficial ‘it’ couple.

According to a leading daily, the Kapoor lad is in no hurry to enter matrimony with his ‘partner’ Katrina. The two are believed to be in a live-in relationship though.

Ranbir, 32, apparently is least perturbed by his 'age-clock'. He doesn't feel that time is running. He will only marry when he and his partner truly wish to formally exchange the rings and not because of any obligation.

So, for all those who are awaiting Ranbir’s wedding ceremony, you will have to wait longer for sure.

Shah Rukh Khan’s tribute to Raj Kapoor on his TV show

Mumbai: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan paid tribute to late actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor, popularly known as the ‘Showman’, on his reality TV show ‘India Poochega Sabse Shaana Kaun?’

Years back, Raj Kapoor narrated the life of a joker in a circus through his popular movie ‘Mera Naam Joker’, hinging on “The show must go on” notion.

It was when SRK saw one of the contestants from Delhi with a joker’s nose that he trailed back to the golden era of cinema, dominated by the likes of Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar and Dev Anand.

The 'nose' reminded Shah Rukh of late Raj Kapoor’s iconic character from movie ‘Mera Naam Joker’, which released in 1970.

Shah Rukh, who has been tagged as 'Bollywood badshah' after carving a niche for himself in the industry with hits like ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ and ‘Dil Se..’, also tried on a 'joker's nose'.

The ‘Happy New Year’ actor got nostalgic as he remembered the legend of Bollywood cinema.

Another interesting scoop is that the &TV channel show, which will premier on the small screen on Monday, has been shot in RK Studio.

Raj Kapoor was only 24 when he launched his own studio, RK Films, and became the youngest director of his time with ‘Aag’ in 1948.

He went on to taste success by producing, directing and acting in successful movies like ‘Barsaat’ (1949), ‘Awara’ (1951), ‘Shree 420’ (1955), ‘Chori Chori’ (1956).

One of his popular song ‘Pyar hua iqrar hua’ with a hat, jacket and a shirt with the legend standing under an umbrella with co-star Nargis, is still one of the most remembered song of the yesteryear cinema. In fact Shah Rukh created the magic of the moment in his movie ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ for the song ‘Phir milenge chalte chalte’.

Happy Birthday Tiger Shroff

Happy Birthday Tiger Shroff:

7 Lesser known facts about the actor

He is not just Jackie Shroff's son but the actor has made a name for himself in Bollywood. Tiger Shroff made his debut last year with Sabbir Khan's Heropanti and since then there has been no looking back for this actor. He has not just won many best debut awards but has also bagged some meaty roles in his next upcoming films. As the actor turns 25 today, we give an insight into his life and some of the lesser known facts about the actor.

Born in 1990, Tiger Shroff turns 25 today 

1. Tiger Shroff's real name is Jai Hemant Shroff, Tiger is the name given by his father. Jackie said he named Tiger so because he would bite like one when he was small.

2. Tiger is incredibly talented. He possesses excellent skills in martial arts, gymnastics and dance. Tiger is one up against all the new comers in Bollywood at the moment.

3. Fair skin, light eyes, chiselled body and a dream dancer. What else could Tiger ask for. Well one thing he wants is a few inches extra. The 25-year-old has only one regret is that he is not as tall as his daddy.

Tiger Shroff made his debut in Bollywood with Heropanti 

4. There are no prizes for guessing that Tiger idolises Bruce Lee and Michael Jackson. But what's not known is that among desi icons, the Heropanti finds only Aamir Khan worth hero-worshipping. He says, "Aamir is not only the best actor in the industry but he is one of the best human beings too. The mammoth star that he is he is humble. I wish even if I get 50pc of the stardom he has, i have 100 pc of his simplicity and humanity."

5. While we are on Aamir, here's one more fun fact. Tiger helped Aamir Khan during his gym workout sessions for his role in Dhoom 3.

6. Aamir was so impressed by Tiger that he wanted to launch him in Bollywood. But since that didn't work out, Aamir released the trailer of Heropanti.

7. You all watched him perform international level martial arts in Heropanti, right? But tiger did not employ any firang trainer to learn the art. The actor trained under Ziley Mawai, a national level gymnast from Haryana for close to three years. His training involved back layout, front pike, 360 degree-backward twist, wall flips and leaps.

Meanwhile, Nana, whose latest film film "Ab Tak Chappan 2" released Friday, says he doesn't like to attend parties.
