With the whole world shrinking and becoming smaller and smaller owing to the increasing use of social media, celebrities across the world have become more and more accessible for the fans. From personal to professional life, celebrities too want to stay connected with their fans on a large scale through social media.

Owing to this, Instagram recently launched a feature called “Ask me anything” which celebrities are using to interact with their fans on a personal level without even having to go live. Madhuri Dixit Nene too opted to use this feature to get to know her fans and converse with them and in an attempt to cash in on this opportunity, a fan asked Madhuri about her ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’ co-star Salman Khan.

The fan asked, “One word for Salman Khan’, and she was quirky and quick to reply, “Mischievous”. Now that Madhuri has expressed her thought about Sallu, wonder what he has to say.

Salman Khan’s TV show might have not been fetching as much of TRP, but that doesn’t leave his ardent fans from watching the show. Recently, Bollywood choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khancame on the show and she and Salman Khan shared some amazingly funny anecdotes with the audience.

A source revealed to a daily that superstar Salman Khan narrated one incident where he needed help from Farah, who was not a choreographer at the time. Salman was apparently to do a screen test for director Sooraj Barjatya, had to dance in front of the camera.

He called Farah as he wanted her to guide him with the dance steps. However, when Farah looked at the way he was dancing, the ace choreographer thought it was an embarrassment. In fact, Farah reportedly ran away even before Salman completed his screen test.

In another anecdote the ‘Bharat’ actor recounted how Farah helped him learn front and back somersaults for his movie. She taught him on a beach in the middle of the night and made sure he learnt that in an hour. Now isn’t that sweet?

Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan are two of the most talented actors of Bollywood. The two have entertained the audience together in movies like 'Race 3', 'Biwi No 1', 'No Entry', 'Yuvvraaj' and others. Recently Anil Kapoor even promoted his upcoming film 'Fanney Khan' on Salman Khan's reality show.

Recently, while speaking about Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan said that Anil is one of the most generous actors he’s worked with. He added that Anil Kapoor makes sure that he is perfect on the big screen. He respects the work given to him and Anil has decided to deliver his best till the time he keeps on working.

On the work front, Anil Kapoor will be next seen in 'Fanney Khan' along with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao. He will also be seen along with Sonam Kapoor in 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga'.

Anil Kapoor had a reunion of sorts with his ‘Race 3’ co-star, Salman Khan as he kicked off film promotions on the latter’s reality show. Kapoor, who will soon be seen in the drama ‘Fanney Khan’, opposite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao, headed to the sets to Sallu’s show to promote the film with his on-screen daughter, Pihu Sand.

Salman and Anil, who were all praise for the other during ‘Race 3’ promotions, were clicked sharing a candid moment on the sets, where Khan appeared to be fixing his dear friend’s tie.

However, that was not the highlight of their interaction. Keeping certain chapters of Bollywood history in mind, it was the Aishwarya song ‘Mohabbat’, played on the big screen for the audience that raised many eyebrows. The newly released track sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, saw Ash in her pop-star avatar, grooving to the tunes in shimmery and sensual outfits.

Salman being a cordial host, watched the music video along with the audience.

Aishwarya hasn’t been promoting ‘Fanney Khan’, as she is currently holidaying with her family in London.

On the other hand, Salman is all set to begin work on his next, ‘Bharat’, co-starring Priyanka Chopra.

Salman Khan starrer ‘Race 3’ which hit the screens to a massive opening soon fell flat after its first week of successful running. Fans seemed to be extremely disappointed with the high-octane action thriller which was one of the most awaited movies of this year. However, due to the satellite rights being sold for a humungous amount, the movie managed to reach Rs 200 crores approximately.

Salman Khan has his hands full with an interesting lineup of projects. Apart from Ali Abbas Zafar’s ‘Bharat’, the superstar also has ‘Dabangg 3’, ‘Kick 2’, ‘Sher Khan’. He had also announced about his second collaboration with ‘Race 3’ director Remo D’Souza tentatively titled ‘Dancing Dad’.

As per reports, Salman was supposed to play a father to a 9-year-old girl in it. The movie was to go on floors last year, but owing to Salman’s injury while training in various dance forms, the shoot never took off. Instead, he decided to go ahead with ‘Race 3’ and got Remo on board to helm it.

Now reportedly, owing to the ‘Race 3’ debacle, Salman has apparently decided to put ‘Dancing Dad’ on the back burner as he is slightly hesitant to collaborate with Remo D’Souza. A source close to the development revealed to a daily that Salman’s well-wishers have advised him against this project. It was affecting his health and after ‘Race 3’, they aren’t sure if Remo will be able to pull it off. So, ‘Dancing Dad’ is definitely not on the actor’s list of films right now. The source further told the daily that Knowing Salman’s nature, he might give Remo another chance because they got along well during the making of ‘Race 3’.

Remo remained unavailable to comment.

Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez will reunite once again after their first outing ‘Kick’ in ‘Race 3’. The multi-starrer also has Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Saqib Saleem and Daisy Shah in titular roles and is slated to release this Eid on June 15th.

Calling her a hard-working girl, Salman said that she has always remained disciplined and decent ever since she entered the Bollywood industry.

Praising her even more, Salman said that Jacqueline has a great amount of energy and is very clean hearted with absolutely no malice in her heart. He also professed how Jacqueline doesn’t create any confrontation and is pleasant to work with.

Salman went on to express how professional, natural and talented his co-star is. As per reports, Jacqueline and Salman Khan will be seen together in Sajid Nadiadwala’s ‘Kick 2’. Earlier, there were reports of a fall out between the two actors, when at an event, Salman had said that Jacqueline has been ‘kicked out’ from the sequel of ‘Kick’. However, latest reports confirm that the two will star in the film together.

Varun’s role in ‘Judwaa 2’ was widely appreciated by fans, as he recreated one of Salman’s iconic roles just perfectly on the big screen.

Recently, when Salman was asked if he sees himself in any young actor, he was quick to take Varun Dhawan’s name.

Lv the pic.” Adorable, isn’t it?

Bollywood actor Bobby Deol was once known for his intense roles in films. However, the superstar son’s Hindi film career couldn’t stay well for too long. The actor suddenly disappeared from the movie scenes, until one day, an announcement of him being a part of Salman Khan-starrer ‘Race 3’ broke out on the internet.

Fans rejoiced his comeback in this intense action flick alongside Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Saqib Saleem and Daisy Shah. Salman Khan and legendary actor Dharmendra share an extremely close bond with each other, and it was the superstar who drew a plan to give his son a platform for a huge comeback.

Since Salman has also co-produced the movie along with Tips Industries, a source close to the development told a daily that almost all of the major decisions were taken by Salman himself. Even the casting of the two leading ladies was done by the actor himself. The source professed that when discussions about the second male lead was going on, it was Salman who reportedly suggested Bobby’s name for the role. In fact, he made sure he was signed and then began Salman’s motivational attempts to get Bobby’s career and physique out of its flabby phase.

The source also added that Bobby too got the motivation to get fitter by Salman Khan.
