<p>Born in Rangoon (now Yangon, Myanmar) Rupani, 61, joined an RSS <em>shakha</em> as a schoolboy, before graduating to the BJP via the Sangh&#39;s students wing--the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).</p>

<p>Though Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the BJP&#39;s face in the high-octane election campaign in his home state, Rupani, belonging to the relatively small Jain community, steered the party machinery in Gujarat, neutralising the incumbency factor against his government and surviving quota stir by the Patidar community, the bedrock of the party&#39;s support base.</p>

<p>Though only a second-time MLA, he made a mark as an able administrator.</p>

<p>Rupani, who worked mostly in the party organisation in Gujarat, fought his first Assembly election in 2014, winning a bypoll from Rajkot West. This time he won from the same seat with an impressive margin of over 53,000 votes.</p>

<p>A bachelor of law, Rupani was a Rajya Sabha member between 2006 and 2012.</p>

<p>It was under him as chairman of the Gujarat Tourism Development Corporation in 2006 that the hugely successful advertisement campaign &#39;<em>Khushboo Gujarat Ki</em>&#39;, featuring megastar Amitabh&nbsp;Bachchan, was launched to promote the state as a tourism hotspot.</p>

<p>He was also the chairman of the Gujarat Municipal Finance Board in 2013.</p>

<p>When the Rajkot West seat fell vacant in October 2014 after Speaker of the Assembly Vajubhai Vala was appointed the Karnataka Governor, Rupani won the bypoll.</p>

<p>On February 19, 2016 he was appointed the chief of the Gujarat BJP. It was seen as a victory for the Amit Shah camp in the state unit.</p>

<p>When the state&#39;s first and only woman chief minister Anandiben Patel resigned in August 2016 following allegations of inept handling of the Patidar and Dalit agitations, Rupani was catapulted to the hot seat.</p>

<p>Rupani honed his political skills in the crucible of the Gujarat Navnirman agitation, a socio-political movement in 1974 by students and the middle-class against economic crisis and corruption in public life.</p>

<p>It soon spread elsewhere, particularly in Bihar, where socialist legend Jayaprakash Narayan gave a call for &#39;Total Revolution&#39;.</p>

<p>The movement finally led to the fall of Indira Gandhi government and installation of the first non-Congress dispensation at the centre under Morarji Desai.</p>

<p>Rupani, who was then with the ABVP, was jailed for nearly a year during Emergency.</p>

<p>As the mayor of Rajkot in 1996-97, he endeared himself to people of the city with his initiatives for improvement of the civic infrastructure.</p>

<p>Rupani&#39;s mettle as a politician will be tested again in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls when Modi bids for a second shot at power.</p>

<p>Delivering Gujarat to the BJP is the least he would expect from Amit Shah&#39;s man in Gandhinagar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ever so poised Aishwarya Rai can let her guards down on some occasions, perhaps.

The film which had Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Kajol, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor playing the leads was a blockbuster hit in 2001.

When Amitabh Bachchan danced on 'Jumma Chumma' with Sridevi

<p>As Shashi Kapoor breathed his last on Monday in Mumbai, Indian, as well as International media, reported the news of his demise on their respective platforms. Being India&#39;s first crossover star, Kapoor&#39;s demise was naturally covered by media outside India as well.<br />
<br />
But BBC&#39;s tribute to the late actor left the channel red in its face&nbsp;as it aired clips of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor even as the news presenter announced the news of Shashi Kapoor&#39;s death.</p>

BBC's aired clips of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor even as the news presenter announced the news of Shashi Kapoor's death.

As Shashi Kapoor breathed his last on Monday in Mumbai, Indian, as well as International media, reported the news of his demise on their respective platforms. Being India's first crossover star, Kapoor's demise was naturally covered by media outside India as well. But BBC's tribute to the late actor left the channel red in its face as it aired clips of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor even as the news presenter announced the news of Shashi Kapoor's death.

BBC airs Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor's clips as they announce Shashi Kapoor's death news

<p>As legendary actor Shashi Kapoor breathed his last on Monday morning, his co-star and friend, superstar Amitabh Bachchan wrote an emotional post on the late actor recalling how Kapoor had inspired him in more ways than one.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bachchan&#39;s emotional blog post was full of nostalgia as he recalled seeing a Shashi Kapoor&#39;s photo in a magazine in the 1960s. The photo was to announce Kapoor&#39;s entry into Hindi films, recalled Big B. &quot;I saw him standing by a Mercedes Sports car, a convertible, a smart trimmed beard and moustache, adorning involuntarily, the face of this incredibly handsome man. It was a picture that filled almost an entire page of a magazine. Shashi Kapoor &hellip; &nbsp;son of Prithviraj Kapoor, younger brother to Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor, making a debut in a forthcoming film, is what the caption read ..&quot; wrote Bachchan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The superstar recalled how looking at Shashi Kapoor&#39;s striking image, he had himself thought he stood no chance in films. &quot;And I said to myself, as very uncertain thoughts raced through my mind of wanting to become a film actor, that, with men like him around, I stood no chance at all ..&quot;the actor wrote.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bachchan and Kapoor worked together in 16 films and ruled the Box Office together in the 1970s. The most prominent film that the two featured in was Deewar, which had the two actors playing brothers but pitted against each other.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bachchan also wrote that how Shashi Kapoor was a humble man and despite the stardom, he would always warmly introduce himself to people, irrespective of the fact that they might already know him. The late actor had also inspired Big B to get his now signature haircut.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;His semi curly hair on head, falling carelessly over his forehead and ears, not quite covering it .. &nbsp;and my upper story mumbled again: &lsquo;hey ! maybe you should think of covering your ears as well ..&rsquo; &hellip; and off I went to Hakim the hair dresser at Taj Hotel with my plan .. and executed, it remained till date ..&quot; the actor wrote.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor also admitted that in the last few days, he had not visited Kapoor at the hospital and why he chose to visit Shashi Kapoor&#39;s residence on Monday night after he got the news of his demise. &quot; I never ever wanted to see this beautiful friend and &lsquo;samdhi&rsquo; in the state I saw him in hospital .. and I did not today, when they informed me that he had gone.&quot;</p>

<p><br />
The actor was seen at Kapoor&#39;s residence along with son Abhishek Bachchan and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai on Monday night.&nbsp;</p>

IFFI 2017: When Amitabh Bachchan was left embarrassed by Akshay Kumar

<p>Indian superstar Amitabh Bachchan on Sunday paid homage to the victims of the terrorist attack of&nbsp;26/11 and also spoke about&nbsp;terrorism at a memorial event.</p>

<p>Amitabh Bachchan expressed his grief and said, &quot;Nine years ago, on this day these attacks were, to me, a wake-up call. But the question I asked myself was, Wake-up, yes, but wake-up to what? I woke up to a new era of violence, a new kind of violence, a violence that was inflicted by terrorism.&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;Terrorism is not an ideology, it is an act of scaring peaceful people, an act of evoking the fear of sudden, untimely death It is an act of negotiating at the point of a gun,&quot; the actor said.</p>

<p>&quot;Terror does not decide anything. Terror only hopes to establish the bluff that evil can be stronger than natural humanity,&nbsp;that hate is mightier than love.&nbsp;It is now for each one of us to decide if we want our children to accept this evil doctrine. Or, show our children that terror does not have a place in our hearts,&quot; he added.</p>

<p>&quot;Terror does not preserve anything, it is designed to destroy Once unleashed, terror, cannot be stopped by a debate.&nbsp;An act of terror, therefore, is not open to negotiations or to wisdom,&quot; Mr Bachchan said.</p>

<p>Amitabh Bachchan was speaking at the memorial event on terrorism organised by media conclave in partnership with Facebook at the Gateway of India, Mumbai.</p>

<p>Many survivors&#39; also shared their stories of strength and their personal triumph over terror.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, censor board chairman Prasoon Joshi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also spoke at the event.</p>

<p>On November 26, 2008, 10 terrorists of the Lashkar-e-Taiba carried out a series of coordinated shooting&nbsp;and bombing attacks across Mumbai.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The attacks lasted for four days and received condemnation from across the world.</p>

<p>166 people were killed and at least 300 people were wounded in the attack.</p>

<p>I think the most difficult task is to give a poetic arrangement to words and poets know how exactly it&#39;s done. They have achieved excellence in playing with words.</p>

AbRam thinks Amitabh Bachchan is Shah Rukh's 'papa'

Amitabh Bachchan's granddaughter Aaradhya turned 6 last week and Bachchan family threw a grand party for the little one and her friends over the weekend. The party saw many of the celebrities in attendance with their children. Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's daughter Aaradhya's birthday bash had a fairytale set up complete with Ferris wheel, cotton candies and Disney princesses as part of the decor. Proud grandfather, Big B has been sharing photos of the party on Twitter and what caught our attention was these adorable snaps of Shah Rukh Khan and his son AbRam at the party.

<p>Anil Galgali, the RTI activist, had asked the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) about the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP) notice that was issued against Mr Bachchan and seven others for construction in their Goregaon bungalow.</p>

<p>&quot;In 2016, Municipal Corporation along with Amitabh Bachchan has issued Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP) notice to seven other people.

<p>The RTI activist also wrote a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta, asking for immediate action and the demolition of the illegal extension.</p>

<p>&quot;In coming days, under MRTP, the municipal corporation is investigating to register FIR against Amitabh Bachchan and other people,&quot; he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Can you imagine Kaun Banega Crorepati without Amitabh Bachchan? We are sure you are thinking of the time when Shah Rukh Khan hosted it. Just for a while keep that aside and think! Now can you imagine anyone else asking you questions in that baritone? No right? But it seems the makers of the show have already contemplated that possibility and they have replacements in sight too. According to Mumbai Mirror, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit are in contention for the seat!</p>

<p>Yes, you read absolutely right. A source from the channel told the daily, &ldquo;Mr. Bachchan&rsquo;s daughter-in-law Aishwarya is among those who has been approached to take over as quiz master for season nine. The channel is in talks with both Madhuri and Aishwarya.&rdquo; Apparently, given the fact that no female celebrity has ever hosted the show might have prompted the channel to think on the same lines to add novelty to the format. We agree it&rsquo;s a very interesting idea to have an actress-host the show which has never happened before. We hardly see actresses hosting shows on TV and thus it could be a welcoming change.</p>

<p>But we don&rsquo;t know how effectual it will be. We are used to hearing Bachchan&rsquo;s booming voice asking everyone to play fastest fingers first so that the luck one can take the hot seat and win money. It has almost become usual for us and now to adjust to a new celebrity, that too a woman would take some time. But it definitely is an idea worth giving a shot. Maybe then channels will realise even a woman can host game shows of such nature.</p>

<p>As of now, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is busy with her Cannes activities. We will keep you updated on that as well.</p>
