Actor Amitabh Bachchan has recently addressed the slew of negative comments that celebrities are being subjected to over not publishing their contributions during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The actor has contributed Rs 2 crore towards a Covid-19 facility in Delhi.

In his long post, Bachchan said that he and his family have hardly succumbed to the pressure of social media and the everyday abuse and the filth of distasteful comments and contributed or made their effort in the quiet. Only the receiver knew and that was the end. He finds it embarrassing to speak publicly about his contributions, he wrote. 

Bachchan then went on to divulge details of all his charitable efforts during the pandemic. He cleared bank loans of over 1500 farmers by his personal fund and prevented them from suicide.

For those who suffered during Covid last year, he provided food for over 4,00,000 daily wage earners for a month, fed almost 5000 in the city each day lunch and dinner. He provided masks, PPE kits to front line warriors, police officers, hospitals through his personal funds.

For the brave soldiers who had been martyred at Pulwama after the terrible terrorist attack, their families were contacted and brought to Janak and given succour  at the hands of his son Abhishek and daughter Shweta. He booked 30 buses for the stranded migrants  to locations in UP and Bihar and supplied them food and water for the overnight travelHe also booked an entire train from Mumbai to UP to carry 2800 migrant passengers free of cost at his expense,  and when the destination State blocked the train from coming into their State and cancelled the train, he immediately chartered 3 Indigo Airline planes and flew almost 180 migrants in each flight to UP and Bihar and some to Rajasthan and J&K, he wrote.

Further he said, he donated an entire Diagnostic Centre, opened at Bangla Sahib Gurudwara in Delhi through the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, set up in the premises of the Gurudwara for medical help for the poor and needy,  an MRI machine and other Sonographic and Scan equipments of expenses beyond his means, but set up in spite in the memory of his mother and grandparents.

Among the young children who were orphaned by the sudden death of the parents, left in oblivion, he said he has adopted 2 of them and the rest will be put in an orphanage in Hyderabad. Their study board and lodging are free till they finish school from the 1st to the 10th  and if they turn out bright, he will provide them with free upper education, Bachchan added.

He also mentioned about his ongoing and future charitable efforts. He wrote, “A 250 to 450 bed care center set up with further donation at the Rakabganj Sahib Gurudwara in Delhi and soon to procure for them O2 ( Oxygen ) concentrators, not in stock or easily available , from overseas limited stock to be donated to Delhi where the need is immense and some to Mumbai .. coming in within the week .. 50 of them are coming in from Poland by 15th and the rest around 150 from perhaps the US .. orders placed , some have arrived and given to the Hospital in need.”

Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh welcomed their first, baby girl, on Sunday at Mumbai’s HN Reliance Hospital, as per the report. The arrival of the healthy baby marks a significant new chapter in the lives of Deepika and Ranveer Singh.

The couple, accompanied by their family members, were spotted arriving at the hospital on Sunday, with photographers being unable to capture clear pictures as they remained inside their curtained car. Their family members followed suit soon after their arrival.

In preparation for the baby’s arrival, the duo visited the iconic Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai on Friday, seeking blessings from Lord Ganesha ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi. Images and videos of Deepika in a green-colored saree with a baby bump went viral on social media.

The couple announced their pregnancy in February this year through a joint post signifying “September 2024” with adorable motifs of baby clothes, shoes, and balloons. They also shared pictures from their maternity photoshoot, showing a radiant Deepika flaunting her baby bump with Ranveer by her side.

Reports suggest that the couple might embark on this new journey in a new residence. It is rumored that Deepika and Ranveer may move into a luxurious apartment in Bandra, near superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s bungalow, Mannat. The apartment will comprise floors 16 to 19 with a private terrace once construction is complete.

Known for keeping their relationship private, Deepika and Ranveer started dating in 2013 on the set of “Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela” and tied the knot at Lake Como, Italy, in 2018, in an intimate ceremony with close friends and family in attendance.

Deepika Padukone’s most recent appearance in the Prabhas-starrer “Kalki 2898 AD” became the biggest blockbuster of 2024. Her upcoming project includes Rohit Shetty’s “Singham Again,” alongside husband Ranveer Singh, scheduled to release on Diwali this year.

Akshay Kumar, a Bollywood actor, made a statement on Friday addressing recent box office failures saying it is ridiculous that people are writing sympathetic messages expressing how they feel sorry for me just because my recent film did not perform well in theaters. He added that he is not bothered by such remarks and will continue to do his work as he has done for three decades.

Films like Sarfira, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Mission Raniganj, Selfiee, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, and Bachchhan Paandey were not hits.

Showing his positive attitude, he added, “Whatever happens in life happens for a better and bigger reason. Yes, my four or five films have not done well, so what? People are sending sympathetic messages like ‘Don’t worry’ and ‘It will be okay,’ but why?”

He also mentioned a journalist who wrote about his comeback, saying, “I called him up and inquired what ‘back’ even means. I have not gone anywhere; I am still here working on my next film.” Kumar conveyed this message to reporters at the trailer launch of Khel Khel Mein.

At the age of 56, the actor declared, “I am here, and I will continue to work. I don’t heed what presumptions and assumptions people make about me. I wake up with a productive mindset, exercise, go to work, and what I make, I do on my own. I don’t owe anything to anyone.”

Mudassar Aziz, known for directing Happy Bhag Jayegi and Pati Patni Aur Woh, is behind the comedy-drama Khel Khel Mein, which is set to compete at the box office with two other Hindi films: John Abraham’s Vedaa and Stree 2, releasing on August 15. Despite the competition, Aziz expressed his support for all the films, emphasizing a collaborative spirit within the Hindi film industry.

He stated, “We all belong to the same industry, I don’t see it as a competition. I have admiration for Amar Kaushik’s work (director of Stree 2) . I genuinely hope both of our films are a success at the box office.”

Aziz highlighted the importance of collective success for the industry, saying, “When a festive weekend arrives, it’s a chance to encourage audiences to visit cinemas. In Khel KhelMein, I’ve even included a nod to Stree as a way of saying, ‘Let’s make this a successful weekend for Hindi cinema .’

Khel Khel Mein is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde, Rajesh Bahl, Shashikant Sinha, and Ajay Rai.
