Have you heard? Number rings a bell

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt

Number rings a bell

Close on the heels of the buzz about Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal's wedding, there is tattle about Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor also tying the knot next month. On Sunday, the chatter gained momentum after Bhatt dropped a photograph on Instagram wearing a ring, which had her beau's lucky number eight inscribed on it. His football jersey has the same number, and the registration plates of his cars always add up to eight. Mum Neetu Kapoor's birthday is on July 8. Last year, Bhatt had wished RK on his big day by writing, "Happy birthday 8." She is wearing the number on her jersey, and one of her cell phone covers also bears the digit. We can safely assume that their wedding date will be an eight, or a number that adds to it.

A moment to cherish

Madhur Bhandarkar bumped into Zeenat Aman at a Dubai hotel. It was a fanboy moment for the filmmaker. He started as a delivery boy at a video cassette library before opening his store. Time was when he would deliver VCDs of Zeenie baby's blockbusters to people's doorsteps, so it was surreal to be standing next to the veteran star. He called her "the Indian film industry's original glamorous diva."
