<p>Looks like the Beckhams are no longer friends with the Sussexes. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle used to be very good friends with David Beckham and his wife Victoria, but this relationship is said to be now in&nbsp;the past. According to various news reports, ties between them were severed when Meghan and Harry accused David and Victoria Beckham of leaking private information about the former royals to the media. These reports&nbsp;reportedly made the Beckhams “furious”.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Meghan Markle might retaliate</strong></h2>

<p>According to a new report, Meghan Markle has now gotten more friends in the US and will soon retaliate. Reports suggest that the best way they can retaliate is by launching a campaign against them, just as they did against the royal family.&nbsp;</p>

She is the world’s first self-proclaimed Barbie doctor who has an elaborate collection of dolls in every shape and size.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This German woman has been collecting Barbies for over 30 years now. Bettina has held the record for the largest collection of Barbie dolls since 2005. She overtook Tony Mattia from the UK who had 1,125 Barbie dolls, with her collection of 2,500 dolls. Since then, her collection of dolls has only grown in number.

<p>From TV soaps to films, Mrunal Thakur has had quite an eventful journey to stardom. On her birthday, we list a few of the film roles&nbsp;that have established her as a quintessential romantic film heroine. These films/shows not only served us some of her best looks but also showed her acting abilities:</p>

<p><strong>Sita Ramam:</strong></p>

<p>In a time of fast-paced love affairs, Mrunal brought back the quintessential old-school romance in the movie. The movie, as well as Mrunal, received so much love, making her one of the most sought-after actresses in the South Indian film industry. She was applauded by the critics for her performance.</p>

<p><strong>Lust Stories 2:</strong></p>

<p>Typically viewed as the&nbsp;girl next door, Mrunal in <em>Lust Stories 2</em> was completely different. Her camaraderie with her co-actors Neena Gupta and Angad Bedi was a pleasant surprise for cinephiles. She was part of R Balki's segment in the series. With so many senior actors in the anthology, Mrunal’s performance was appreciated.</p>

<p><strong>Jersey:</strong></p>

<p>It was a treat to watch Mrunal Thakur as Vidya. She was absolutely convincing as a young lover and a wife&nbsp;who wants her husband Shahid Kapoor to take up&nbsp;responsibilities of the home. With limited screen presence, Mrunal managed to convince the audience of her acting capabilities.</p>

<p><strong>Toofan:</strong></p>

<p>Mrunal was breathtaking as Dr Ananya Prabhu paired opposite Farhan Akhtar in the movie. Her character kept pulling everything together while things fell apart and Mrunal fit into that part perfectly. The film was directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Super 30:</strong></p>

<p>An underrated performance&nbsp;of Mrunal Thakur, the actress as Supriya won many hearts despite her limited screen presence. She was a typical girl next door and quite relatable too. This was her second film in the Hindi film industry and her acting and classical dance were appreciated by all.</p>

<p>Karan Johar’s latest feature, <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani</em> has been giving quite a competition to <em>Barbie</em> and <em>Oppenheimer</em> – two films that released a week before the Bollywood film starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in leading roles. With a fun chemistry between the leading actors and great storytelling, <em>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani</em> has it all. Apart from the usual, something that also stands out is the older pairing in the film – Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Not just their regular romance but a kissing scene has been catching everyone’s attention. There is a sequence in the film in which Dharmendra and Shabana come face-to-face after years and time stands still for both of them. A few seconds later, Dharmendra sings classic song “Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar” and then kisses Shabana. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Dharmendra has this to say on his kiss with Shabana Azmi</strong></p>

<p>Talking about the scene after the release of the film, Dharmendra said, “I am hearing that Shabana and I have surprised the audience with the kissing scene, and at the same time they have even applauded it. I think people weren't expecting it and it came very suddenly which is why it created an impact.

Karan Johar’s latest feature, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani has been giving quite a competition to Barbie and Oppenheimer – two films that released a week before the Bollywood film starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in leading roles.

Karan Johar’s latest feature, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani has been giving quite a competition to Barbie and Oppenheimer – two films that released a week before the Bollywood film starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in leading roles. With a fun chemistry between the leading actors and great storytelling, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani has it all. Apart from the usual, something that also stands out is the older pairing in the film – Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi. Not just their regular romance but a kissing scene has been catching everyone’s attention. There is a sequence in the film in which Dharmendra and Shabana come face-to-face after years and time stands still for both of them. A few seconds later, Dharmendra sings classic song “Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar” and then kisses Shabana. Dharmendra has this to say on his kiss with Shabana Azmi Talking about the scene after the release of the film, Dharmendra said, “I am hearing that Shabana and I have surprised the audience with the kissing scene, and at the same time they have even applauded it. I think people weren't expecting it and it came very suddenly which is why it created an impact. The last time I did a kissing scene was in Life In A Metro with Nafisa Ali and at that time too people had appreciated it."

<p>In Diyarbakir, the region's biggest city,&nbsp;police&nbsp;repeatedly&nbsp;used&nbsp;water&nbsp;cannon&nbsp;on small groups of&nbsp;protesters, who huddled on the streets to protect themselves from the&nbsp;water cannon and made victory signs with their hands.</p>

Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher are ready to bring their A-game as their upcoming film Ghoomer will release on August 18. Directed and written by R Balki, the film stars Saiyami Kher in the lead role. In the teaser of the film, Saiyami’s character is shown as a disabled woman who aspires to play for the Indian cricket team. In the next frame, we get a glimpse of Abhishek's character in Ghoomer. He plays the role of Saiyami's coach. In the background, we can hear the actor saying, “Logically, ek hath se koi desh k liye khel sakta hai? No. Lekin yeh life na logic ka khel nahi hai, magic ka khel hai. [Can someone play [cricket] with one hand for the country? No. But this life is a game of magic and not logic].” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Abhishek Bachchan (@bachchan) × Sharing the video, Abhishek Bachchan wrote, “Lefty hai? Left hi hai.

Abhishek Bachchan, Saiyami Kher bring their A-game to R Balki's Ghoomer

<p>Akshay Kumar’s upcoming feature <em>OMG 2</em> now has an ‘A' or 'Adults Only’ certificate from the censor board. This comes just days after the film was pushed for review by the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC).</p>

<p>Reports suggest that CBFC has suggested “no cuts” but only modifications for the Akshay Kumar starrer. Sources cited in the reports suggest, “after all the discussions, the film has been passed without any cuts. There are some scenes, dialogues and characters which have been modified by the makers after discussion with the censor board members.”</p>

<p>Reportedly, among the 20 cuts that the Indian censor body CBFC has asked for, they want OMG 2’s team to change Akshay Kumar’s character from Lord Shiva to that of his doot (herald).&nbsp;</p>

<p>This could mean that the OMG 2 team will have to change or delete several sequences where Akshay Kumar is shown assuming the Blue skin complexion of Lord Shiva.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Watch the teaser of the film here:</p>
