Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt
After all the speculation about their summer shaadi, Ranbir Kapoor finally confirmed Alia Bhatt and his plans. In a recent interview, the Sanju actor emphasised that wedding is on their mind. “I haven’t been bitten by a mad dog that I’d announce a date to media,” he snapped, and quickly added, “But Alia and I have all the intentions of getting married soon. So yes, hopefully soon,” was all he was willing to say for now. Incidentally, after his aunt Rima Jain spoke about how she wasn’t aware of the wedding date, Alia’s father Mahesh Bhatt has said that the rumours of an April wedding have been going on for a long time. Meanwhile, reports are rife that Sabyasachi Mukherjee is designing Alia’s lehenga for the saat pheras.

Shaken and stirred
Vijay Deverakonda, who shot some scenes with Mike Tyson for his Bollywood debut, Liger, recently spoke about the “surreal experience” of working with the boxing legend.

I was like ‘Tyson ne mara aur main khada hoon, now I can take anything in the world’ (sic).” Calling it a “fun, crazy experience,” he added, “I cannot share a lot of experiences with him, but it’s a memory for life.”
Back with a warning
Remember Somy Ali? For the uninitiated, she acted in ’90s films like Anth, Yaar Gaddar, Andolan and Krishna Avatar, among others. Out of the blue, she issued a warning to “The Harvey Weinstein of Bollywood” online yesterday. “You will be exposed. The women you abused will come out one day and share their truth. Just like @aishwaryaraibachchan_arb (sic),” she wrote, along with a still from a song of a popular film. While she didn’t take any names, the image she shared and her tagging Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was enough to create a flutter on social media.
