Sam Asghari posts Xmas pic with wife Britney, springing new conspiracy theory

Sam Asghari has posted the picture with his wife Britney Spears in a rare picture posted in his Instagram. This picture has led to conspiracy theories by the fans of his pop icon wife, reports Mirror.co.uk’.

Fans are speculating that it’s not them in the picture. Chart-topping songstress Britney, 41, is known for her questionable social media activity, but model husband Sam, 28, maintains a lower profile.

As per Mirror.co.uk, despite boasting of more than 3 million followers, Sam rarely shares updates with his followers – but seemingly made an exception for the Christmas holidays.

“Merry Britmas to you all from Samta & Britney,” he posted yesterday, alongside a sweet snap of the pair on top of a hill with a scenic view.

His update began: “A little hike and a little meditation on Christmas Day goes a long way my wife is really becoming a meditation guru and I love it.”

Fans had only recently claimed that Britney was no longer in control of her Instagram page after she switched off the facility to comment on her posts.

Mirror.co.uk further states that in a new conspiracy theory, fans claim that it’s not actually Sam or Britney in his latest picture, saying they look “nothing alike”.

Most were quick to snap back at the conspiracy theories, as fans urged others not to criticize the couple.

John Abraham’s character name is Jim in ‘Pathaan’

Bollywood actor John Abraham is playing the arch-enemy of Shah Rukh Khan’s titular character in the upcoming spy-action theatrical film ‘Pathaan’. The name of John’s character has now been revealed and he’s called Jim in the film.

The makers are constantly dropping small bits of information from the film to the fans and audiences. They recently released the jukebox of ‘Pathaan’ and it interestingly has a Pathaan theme track and a Jim theme track which led to fans figuring out that John, who plays Pathaan’s arch-enemy, is going to be called Jim!

‘Pathaan’, which belongs to Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe, has the country’s biggest superstars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham.

Director Siddharth Anand had earlier revealed that he will present John in a super slick avatar in ‘Pathaan’. He said, “I have always believed in the fact that the villain’s projection should be as big, if not bigger than that of the hero’s. Only when the villain is massive, can the tussle between them be spectacular. And we have an extraordinary battle when SRK takes on John.”

The film, produced by YRF, is set to release on January 25, 2023 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

SRK hugs Salman on his 57th b’day, fans overwhelmed

Fans of Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan can now proudly say “Karan-Arjun aa gaye (Karan-Arjun are here finally)!”. Salman was greeted by the ‘Pathaan’ star on his birthday.

SRK hugged Salman as he hosted a joint party with his sister Arpita Khan, whose daughter Ayat Sharma, who shares her birthday with the actor, turned three on Tuesday. Among the host of celebs, including Pooja Hegde, Kartik Aaryan, Suniel Shetty, Tabu, Sangeeta Bijlani, and Shah Rukh grabbed the most attention.

The videos of the two superstars sharing a sweet moment in embrace are doing rounds on the Internet. The fans were left in awe as the two shared the frames together.

A netizen wrote about Salman and Shah Rukh Khan’s bond, “The best, most intimate and close friendship in Bollywood.” Another fan on Instagram also said the moment reminded him of Shah Rukh and Salman attending politician Baba Siddique’s Iftaar party in 2013, where they ended their years-long cold war by giving each other a warm hug.

SRK and Salman’s friendship has stood the test of time despite two major fights between the two – One during the making of ‘Chalte Chalte’ when Salman regularly showed up on sets and created ruckus over his girlfriend Aishwarya Rai which resulted in the actress getting ousted from the film and replaced by Rani Mukerji.

The second was during Katrina Kaif’s birthday back in 2008 when the two superstars came at loggerheads over their respective reality television game shows.

During a Monday guest spot on the ‘Angie Martinez IRL’ podcast, the 42-year-old ‘Kardashians’ star discussed the highly controversial artiste and their four children, reports People magazine.

“Co-parenting is really f***ing hard,” Kardashian said, as she was brought to tears.

The former couple, who share daughters North, 9, Chicago, 4, and sons Saint, 6, and Psalm, 3, finalized their highly-publicized divorce in November, following West’s on-and-off social media play-by-play of the situation.

As per ‘People’, despite what is going on with West, Kardashian stands by the decision to shield their children from what plays out online and says she is doing her best.

“If they don’t know things that are being said, why would I ever bring that energy to them? That is real, heavy, grownup s— that they are not ready to deal with,” she said, quoted by ‘People’.

“When they are, we will have those conversations. One day, my kids will thank me for not sitting here and bashing their dad. I could,” she added.

“I definitely protected him,” she said in the interview, “and I still will in the eyes of my kids. For my kids. So, in my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on (in) the outside world.”

Aditya Rawal had to sit for 2 hours daily for his ‘Aar Ya Paar’ make-up, prep

Actor Aditya Rawal, who is gearing up for his streaming show, ‘Aar Ya Paar’, has shared that for his part as a tribesman in the series, he has used a wig, body makeup, tattoos, and accessories. It took him two hours every day to get done with the pre-role preparation in terms of makeup.

Elaborating on the same, he said: “It was very challenging to put together. I hope the audience likes it. It involved a wig, body make-up, tattoos, and accessories. At first, I found the two-hour prep time rather difficult but eventually it helped me to focus and the process lent a sort of meditative quality. Sid sir and the writing team devised the dialect.”

The series follows the journey of Sarju (played by Aditya) with a formidable talent in archery. He fights for the survival of his tribe against the modern world, it’s corrupt political and financial machinery, that catapults him into the world of big crime as he emerges to be a deadly mercenary assassin.

Talking about the language used in the series, the actor further mentioned: “It was an amalgamation of 4-5 regional dialects. Our wonderful dialect coaches Saurabh and Prabhat were even on-set. I am truly grateful for the hair, make-up, tattoo, and costume teams. They were all such a pleasure to work with.”

The action-drama, which also stars Patralekha, Sumeet Vyas, Ashish Vidyarthi, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Aasif Sheikh, Shilpa Shukla, Varun Bhagat, Nakul Sehdev, will stream on Disney+ Hotstar from December 30, 2022.
