How Bollywood celebrities reacted to AlB's spoof video on Alia Bhatt

  • alia-bhatt
Rarely do we see any Bollywood actor take digs at himself or herself and still laugh about it! Alia Bhatt has turned out to be one such star. Defying old stereotypical Bollywood norms, our new-age star Alia Bhatt who was ridiculously trolled on social network post her infamous blooper on 'Koffee with Karan'. 
Although the girl certainly has the GQ to become a superstar in the near future, she certainly proved that she lagged miserably on the GK part. What followed was a series of jokes and memes that made Alia the new laughing stock. 
But in an unexpected maneuver, Alia decided to silence all her critics by shooting an entertaining video which definitely puts her critics on the back foot. The girl can definitely laugh at herself and by doing so, she has definitely proved that she's anything but stupid.
Not just us, it seems the entire Bollywood rooster has been showering praises on our lovely 'Highway' star who has definitely been crowned the 'Genius Of The Year' by now.
Let's take a look at what the Bollywood stars have to say about Alia's boisterous move.

Salman Khan flys to Toronto for Isabel Kaif's film's music launch

Mumbai: Bollywood star Salman Khan was recently spotted in Toronto, Canada posing for pictures with fans. The actor flew down to Canada after celebrating the success of his film Kick, to make it in time for the music launch of the film ‘Dr Cabbie’.
The film star’s the actor’s former girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s sister Isabel. The film also features Kunal Nayyar of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ fame.
According to reports Salman later flew down to Los Angeles for his routing medical check-up and will return to Mumbai in the second week of September. He will then commence shooting for TV reality show Bigg Boss and his upcoming film.

'Mardaani' picks up on good word of mouth, netts around Rs 23 crore in first six days

Rani Mukerji's 'Mardaani' might have had a slow start, given its strong content and low commercial value, but the positive responses to the film has helped it garner decent response at the box office.
The film, that deals with the dark alleys of women trafficking in India, is a compelling and a hard hitting tale on reality. The film did not have any heavyweight star other than a Rani Mukerji but it has simply worked on the basis of its merit.
Holding well on the weekdays, collecting in the range of Rs 2-3 crore each day, the film has already netted around Rs 23 crore in the first six days. The film which is made on a budget of Rs 14 crore has already recovered its production cost. Hence, it will be a total win-win situation from here onwards.
The film being exempted from entertainment tax in many regions too, has helped boost its returns.

HC seeks to know steps taken by Government to tackle 'Ebola' virus


Mumbai: Expressing concern over a large number of Indians returning home after suspecting to have contracted Ebola virus in African countries, the Bombay High Court today asked the Centre and Maharashtra government to file a reply on September 2 stating what steps had been taken by them to prevent the spread of this deadly virus.

The direction was given by a bench of Justices Abhay Oka and G S Kulkarni which asked both the governments to inform whether India was fully equipped to treat the people who had contracted ‘Ebola’ virus.

The court also sought to know what measures had been taken so far to prevent the spread of the virus which was considered a life-threatening disease.

The Judges observed this was a serious matter and the government must ensure that enough steps were taken to ensure that ‘Ebola’ virus does not spread in India.

Senior Counsel, Rui Rodrigues, who appeared on behalf of the Union Health Ministry, said the government was fully prepared to tackle the situation and would take adequate steps in this regard. However, he sought time to seek instructions in this regard.

The PIL, filed by activist Ketan Tirodkar, also sought a direction to the Union Home Ministry to issue a notice to the Mumbai international airport to prevent passengers arriving from West African countries from alighting from the aircraft.

The petitioner pleaded that India was not equipped to prevent the spread of the virus. He said 112 passengers had recently arrived in Mumbai from Liberia and were  quarantined.

The PIL pleaded that USA and South Asia had banned alighting of passengers from West African nations into their territories and India was lagging behind in this regard.

“India should ban the entry of any person travelling from West African countries. Such persons may come via Gulf countries or South East Asian countries,” the PIL argued.

Tirodkar urged for direction to the union government to provide protective equipments as set out by World Health Organisation to the Central Industrial Security Force which secures the airport and also to doctors and nurses at the government hospitals.
