Have you heard? Let there be lights!

It appears after Alia Bhatt's uncle Robin Bhatt revealed the dates of her wedding with Ranbir Kapoor, both families have been given a strict diktat to not reveal anything about the upcoming Punjabi wedding. Her uncle Mukesh Bhatt has reportedly said that his sister-in-law (Alia's mother Soni Razdan) has told everyone to refrain from talking about the wedding. The veteran producer has been quoted as saying, "I am not in a position to tell anything at this time. After their marriage, I will give a complete interview about when and how the marriage took place." Meanwhile, decorative lights have been put up at Ranbir's under-construction building that is coming up in place of KrishnaRaj bungalow in Bandra, where the actor used to stay with his parents. Sources say that it is a part of the shagun to light up the places owned by the family when an important occasion is being celebrated. Since no under-construction building in Mumbai has ever been decorated with lights, surely the reason is special for this particular upcoming highrise. No?

New scary baby in town

Hansika Motwani is promising to scare the daylights out of audiences with her next. We've got a sneak peek of her look from the horror thriller, titled Rowdy Baby, that also features Sathyaraj (Katappa from Baahubali) in a key role. Hansika plays a woman who is possessed, and how she struggles to get the ghost out of her body forms the crux of the story. The novelty of the plot is already making us shudder.

House khaas!

Karan Kundrra may soon fulfill his wish of shifting to Bandra. He is said to be finalising a sprawling 4-BHK apartment in Bandra. The swanky property is said to have its own gym, swimming pool and a barbecue pit too. Moreover, it has a wrap-around balcony with an extensive view of the Arabian Sea from every room, besides the kitchen and the living room.

Sunday saviour

Playing a hero for reel during the week, Akshay Kumar opted to be one in real life on Sunday. Seeing a dragonfly fall into the pool he was taking a dip in, he put it outside and helped to dry its wings. He shared a video of his rescue act on social media, saying, "This li'l friend slipped in the swimming pool this morning and needed help. A bit of patience, a bit of cheering… and off he flew. Isn't that what we all need in life - hope in the heart, will to live and wings to fly." Interestingly, the actor added American singer R Kelly's song, I believe I can fly, to his post. Wife Twinkle commented, "You do it often enough for me too," with a heart emoji.

On a break with sons

Hrithik Roshan is a doting daddy to sons Hrehaan and Hridhaan. He not only makes sure to spend ample time with them, but also regularly takes them on vacations. On Sunday, the War actor took off to Dubai with his sons. We hear the trio will be holidaying there for a few days. Last week, Duggu had flown out of Mumbai along with Hrehaan. Apparently, the actor is not too comfortable with his kids being photographed by the paparazzi. The young lads too are said to cover up with masks when they spot the lensmen around.

A working b'day in Goa

Saqib Saleem, who turned a year older on Friday, had a working birthday. He is currently in Goa, shooting for a new series, which is being closely guarded. All Saqib is willing to say about the project is, "I'm really excited to be at the centre of a project that has been written at the height of intelligence. It's great to be in the tourists' paradise on my birthday, doing what I love the most - acting." The actor, who is awaiting the release of Double XL, co-starring Sonakshi Sinha and sister Huma Qureshi, summed up saying this special project has made his birthday memorable.

Cooking for hubby

It looks like Katrina Kaif is expanding and experimenting with her culinary skills. The Tiger 3 actor opted to make a sumptuous Sunday breakfast for hubby Vicky Kaushal. Sharing a picture of it on social media, she wrote: "Sunday breakfast for hubby made by… me." We hear whenever she has a day off and her pati is in town, she ensures to cook something special for him. For the Sardar Udham actor, who recently returned to Mumbai after an outdoor schedule, it sure must be a nice feeling to wake up to a scrumptious breakfast made by wifey dearest.
