Hrithik Roshan Thumb Extra Finger

The bollywood hottest actor Hrithik Roshan carries two thumbs on his right hand. The additional thumb is a small extension which curves inwards towards his main thumb. In India the supernumerary thumb which Hrithik has on his right hand is considered to be a lucky sign. But we cann’t simply say that it is because of his luck that he acheived this much as his hard work is always visible in his movies. His fans, don’t even care for that extra finger and some fans even like it a lot.

Hrithik Roshan said: “I had this extra thumb…I stammered and in school – you know what kids are like – well, it was hell most of the time. My being quiet and sensitive came about as a consequence. I never felt normal. I always felt abnormal. I always felt I did not fit in.”

We must notice one special thing that he could get rid of that extra thumb if he wished but he left it there to be natural. He just accepts the life as it comes and has no complex problems about it. Thats the greatness of Hrithik..!!

Hrithik Roshan was diagnosed scoliosis at the age of 21 and he was told that he could never be able to dance and do stunts like all other Bollywood stars.
But this great man has made it a myth. Hrithik Roshan proved that medical science is nothing before man’s will power. This 5 feet 11 inches tall actor has made millions mad with his superb psysique despite of all above differences.

The Hottest Screen couples of Bollywood

Shahrukh Khan and Kajol..!! the names themselves sound too romantic..! isn’t it..? Believe it or not , Shahrukh Khan and Kajol are the best bollywood hot on screen couples. Shahrukh Khan is happily settled with his wife Gauri and Kajol is happy with Ajay Devgan but yet this married couples have the capacity to set the silver screen on fire with their romance in their films. Usually after the marriage the celebrities will lose their demand in the bollywood film industry but there are some rare exceptions like Shahrukh Khan and Kajol..!!

Their super hit movie “Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge” which broke all the records of bollywood film industry has completed 600 weeks of continuous run in Indian theatres..!! And entered the Guinness Book of Records..!! The film had long broken the Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay record of running for five consecutive years, which was the only film creating such arecord earlier to DDLJ..!!

Their love story in DDLJ became eternal with the success of the film and people still feel them as the real hot couples in life. It is interesting to know that though they gave five consecutive blockbusters there were no gossips or any controversies..!! In fact Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol are the only popular on screen couples who are known as good friends without any gossips.

Kajol quotes about SRK and movies

“I enjoy working with Shah Rukh, he gives absolutely superb attention to every detail in a scene. He is totally professional. His input improves every action. What is more, he hones emotional moments till each one is an artistic achievement. He includes the heroine in this effort and takes her through the scenes to achieve perfection. My style of working fits in perfectly with his. Our work ethic, style and attitude are the same. That’s why we can create magic on the screen.”

“K3G is a beautiful film, It gave me a perfect canvas to do a ‘romantic woman’ role rather than a mini-skirted, love-smitten nymphet’s role. The song “Suraj Hua Madham” lent a rare sensitivity to my screen romance with Shah Rukh. As choreographer Farah Khan said, this was a man-woman romance; not a girl-boy fascination. Our screen relationship had great depth and many dimensions. I had the pleasure of being the tomboy lover girl in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge with Shah Rukh and that too was fun.”

“I am thrilled that DDLJ has beaten all records, Shah Rukh Khan and I share a close friendship that translates onto the screen. We have such fun working together. Shah Rukh has a great sense of humour. He invests incredible energy into his acting. He reads a lot. I share all these with him. I love books. I love his style of working and abundant refinement. I love him to death and would like to work with him again.”

SRK quotes about Kajol

“We did not even know each other when we shot for DDLJ, At the first day’s shoot, we almost disliked each other. But we are the best of friends now and our relationship of respect, dignity, humour and support creates a rare chemistry on the screen.”

“She is open minded and does not mind discussing her work till she has perfected every move. She is open to learning from others. That is a great quality in a senior and acclaimed actor like her. She is great as a co-star and as a friend. Today, she is not working in films. But we still are close friends and exchange tips on parenting. Our friendship is priceless because it allows for many disagreements and a variety of opinions. We both are married and have our families. There is a beautiful clarity in our relationship yet, there is a great deal of mutual admiration and we share a wonderful bond of support and love.”

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Love story

Salman Khan is always in news especialy most of his controversies are relating to girls. He was spotted by the media when he was dating former miss world and bollywood queen Aishwarya Rai. Salman and Aishwarya fell in love during the shooting of “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam” which turned to be a blockbuster hit of the year. They were in good terms for two years thats from 1999-2001. Later misunderstandings arose between them and they couldn’t make it. There relationship didn’t end quietly, it was both a personal and legal problem, Salman constantly filled gossip columns for months together.

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Break up / Split

Salman Khan and Aishwarya broke up officially in 2002. As the actress, said she broke up with Salman after he inadvertantly admitted that he had been unfaithful to her.

The controversy was a great news when Salman stormed onto the sets of Aishwarya’s upcoming film “Kuch Na Kaho” with Abhishek Bachchan. Salman Khan pushed Aishwarya to the ground, prompting intervention from spectators, then left the spot with retaliation.

A similar incident occured months later, in 2002, on the sets of Aishwarya’s film with Shahrukh Khan. It was  reportd that when Shahrukh Khan attempted to intervene in the couple’s heated quarrel, he was verbally attacked by Salman, and the relationship between them was also worsened. This also caused serious damage to Aishwarya career as no actor was ready to work with her.

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Legal controversies

After their break-up in March 2002, Aishwarya Rai accused him of harassing her. She stated that Salman couldn’t come to terms and harassing her in many ways and her parents even lodged a police complaint against him, they alleged that intoxicated Salman broke windowpanes and furniture in home . She took the protection of both the police and private security guards. They used to accompany her during her shooting.

In 2005 Mumbai police released a tape of mobile call recorded in 2001. It appeared that Salman Khan threatened Aishwarya Rai to persuade her to appear at a social event. It even seemed that he had link with Mumbai crime mafia and made some derogatory statments about other actors of bollywood. But the alleged tape was concluded as fake by the government’s Forensic lab in Chandigarh.

Aishwarya Rai words about Salman Khan

“The Salman Khan chapter was a nightmare in my life and I am thankful to god that it is over”

“I have maintained a dignified silence about him and his wrong doings but he has repeatedly attacked the respect, dignity and pride of me and my family with irresponsible rumour mongering”

“I stood by him enduring his alcoholic misbehaviour in worst phases and in turn I was at the receiving end of his abuse, infidelity and indignity. That is why like any other self-respecting woman I had ended my relationship with him almost two years ago”

“After we broke up, he would call me and talk rubbish. He also suspected me of having affairs with my co-stars. I was linked up with everyone, from Abhishekh Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan. There were times when Salman got physical with me, luckily without leaving any marks. And I would go to work as if nothing had happened.”

Salman Khan words about Aishwarya Rai

“I love Aishwarya. I am not hounding her. It’s not a teenage obsession that I feel for her — it’s pure love. She’s such a traditional Hindustani girl at the bottom of her heart. The fact that she respects her parents so much makes me admire her more.” (Hindustan Times, 2002)

Salman says:  “Call me arrogant or whatever you like. I am like this. I try and put forward myself very clearly. I am not scared of speaking the truth. I have been labelled arrogant by a section of the film press, especially those magazines which want me to run around them and accept whatever they write about me. If I call you names, if I write rubbish about your family, will you like it? It can spoil your relationships with your colleagues and family and also land you in a soup. Just because somebody wants to sell his magazine, does it mean I should allow them to make use of me?”

Last kick..!!

Aishwarya Rai after breaking with Salman dated Vivek Oberai for few days and Vivek used to accompany her during her shooting and it was reported that even Vivek was harassed by Salman for supporting her. At last she married Abhishek Bachchan on April 20, 2007.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is said to planning to write a book on her life. It is reported that the book will include all untold and unheard happenings of her life. She is going to reveal secrets of her relationship with Salman Khan. Hope this is the only thing which can make all things clear. Obviously it will be a best seller.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Marriage

It is one more celebrity couple..!! Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman fell in love during the making of their movie “Days of Thunder”, 1990. Since then they started dominating the media for gossips.!!

At once even Tom Cruise, admitted that his first reaction to meeting Kidman was “sheer lust.” But later they became so close that they couldn’t spend a day without talking to each other.

Tom and Kidman got married on December 24, 1990 in Telluride, Colorado. They adopted two children, i.e a daughter, Isabella Jane, born on 22nd December 1992 and a son, Connor Anthony, born on 17th January 1995.

Tom and Kidman on screen chemistry was so good that they made 3 movies together i.e “Days of Thunder” (1990), “Eyes Wide Shut” (1999) and “Far and Away” (1992). It was their love which started on the sets of “Days of Thunder” which made the couple’s chemistry damn good.

It is strange to know that during Tom Cruise marriage to Nicole Kidman there was a big controvercy about their sexual life as there were too much rumors that Tom Cruise was a gay..!! They filed a libel case against Express Newspapers in the same year. The tabloid alleged that their marriage was just designed to cover up their homosexuality. Ultimately the couple won the legal battle and Express Newspapers apologised for the article and paid huge amount as damages. Tom said : “I have to protect them. This was certainly not about money. Every penny of this very substantial sum will be donated to charities.”
