Ballz Bollywood! Hot news and gossip of your favorite Bollywood celebrities!

Teji Bachchan, actress and mother of Amitabh Bachchan passed away on Friday after suffering from numerous health problems for nearly a year.

The 93-year-old was best known for being the second wife of renowned Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. In fact, the death of his first wife Shyama sent him into a profound depression and brought on the voices in his head which only Teji could shut off after hooking him in 1941.

Together the two would sing their little hearts out and often won wide acclaim during their younger days as a singing duo.

After losing his father in 2002 at the age of 96, Amitabh bid farewell to his mother at the Juhu Cremation Ground Saturday, December 22.

Most of the Bachchan family and friends visited them to pay their respects. Two unlikely frenemies to show up were Vivek Oberi (pictured below) and Aamir Khan.

After recently slamming Amitabh’s acting skills, the actor was too chicken to face the Bachchan household alone and ended up dragging his wife along to pay his condolences. Vivek, on the other hand, was ballsy enough to attend the funeral, perhaps exchanging a few glances with his ex, Aishwarya Rai.

On screen that is!

The latest in the never-ending chapter of the Kareena/Shahid saga is that the former couple will see their most romantic film together released on Valentines Day. You gotta hand it to the director for his sense of humor or is it sarcasm?

After being labeled a dud for a long time “Milenge Milenge” was abandoned by the crew but apparently, Jab We Met’s unexpected success has enlivened the project. That OR the director’s clever attempt in milking their break-up for every nickel he can!

“Perhaps it was destined that the most romantic film featuring Shahid and Kareena would come only after their relationship is over,” says producer Boney Kapoor.

However, the rumor mill is abuzz that the lead pair is not interested in dubbing. Nonetheless director Satish Kaushik isn’t giving up hope yet.  “Milenge Milenge is not at all dated. And why should Shahid and Kareena have any problems dubbing it?”

“In fact Shahid lives in my building. I’ve asked him about the dubbing and he’s fine by it. And Kareena I’ve known since she came into the industry. I gave her first big hit ‘Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai’.” Hmm wonder if they’ll promote the film together?

Aamir Khan and his father Tahir Hussain have finally bridged their differences after a nasty legal battle that isolated Aamir from his brother. You may remember Faisal Khan, 41, who suffers from periodic lapses into schizo-affective psychosis, recently ran away from Aamir’s house and had the Khans worrying sick about his disappearance.

However, much to their surprise, Faisal teamed up with his father and launched a public attack on Aamir. Their shocking allegations provoked a ferocious legal battle which resulted in a court granting custody to Tahir Hussian.

A week before Aamir’s directional winner Taare Zameen Par was set to release, his father found himself eating his words. Knowing where his bread and butter lay, the man quickly sent Faisal packing to Aamir’s house.

“That’s a thing of the past now. I agree that there were certain misunderstandings but not anymore. We are all one now. I love all my children equally and I am proud of the fact that Aamir has worked hard for his success and deserves all his achievements,” said Tahir.

Glad to have his father back in his life, the Bollywood superstar arranged a special screening of Taare Zameen Par for his father.

Asked to comment on the film, Tahir says: “It’s a very sensitive film and it makes you cry and it makes you laugh. The child protagonist is very good and the subject has been handled very sensibly.” 

“Aamir, as usual, was very good in the film but even the other actors have played their part very well. I told Aamir that I am very proud of him. Now Aamir should direct another big film. I am always with him. We only want our family to be together always.”

Translation: I am thrilled to have my meal ticket back!

Looking nothing short of fierce, Shahrukh Khan’s leading lady, Gauri graces the new cover of the Indian edition of Vogue. Here are some snippets from her interview:

On her style: “I hate tight, revealing clothes. What I wear really depends on my mood and I always keep in mind that I am the wife of a very successful man.”

On being married to Shahrukh Khan: “He is the best husband and father I could ever ask for. I always say that I am so fortunate to be with Shahrukh Khan, the man. I don’t come from a space where I gush and praise - the world is doing enough of that. I like to keep my love for him private and inside the doors of Mannat.”

On posing for the fashion bible: “This is not my profession. It has to be something really new and unusual to make me want to do something like this. I did enjoy the shoot but to be honest, I wouldn”t do it very often.”

If Shahid Kapoor is still grieving about his split with Kareena, he certainly is doing a good job hiding it! The heartbroken actor is back and banging…literally! Two reporters of Mumbai’s local tabloid Mid-Day swear to have seen him cozying up to tennis star Sania Mirza in Bangalore.

“Yes, we did meet over dinner on Tuesday night, but we were in a group. My friend Shriram and a couple more friends were with us. We had dinner at the hotel I am staying in and people must have seen her entering,” admits Shahid.

“That’s how people must have thought we had something romantic happening. After dinner, Sania went back and Shriram and I spent the night catching up on our lives in my room.”

But the ever-present bellboy had a slightly different version. According to him "Sania went to Shahid’s room, 3044, on the third floor, after dinner on Tuesday." Soon after, Shriram headed home to give the two a little privacy. A prying guest who stayed across Shahid’s room also confirmed he saw a ‘Don’t disturb’ card dangling from the doorknob."

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what went on behind closed doors. But only time will tell if Shahid is ready to embark on a new relationship or if the panty-flashing star was nothing more than a booty call!
