Shahrukh Khan to walk the ramp with Yash Raj heroines

Shahrukh Khan will walk the ramp with the poster girls of Yash Raj Films – Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and Katrina Kaif to pay tribute to Yash Chopra on his birth anniversary on September 27th. Shahrukh will be the only male actor to walk the ramp at the event organised by the late filmmaker’s wife Pamela Chopra. While Pam Chopra has been tight lipped about this special plan to celebrate her husband’s life, the Yash Raj films spokesperson, Rafiq Gangjee confirmed this news, “Pamelaji requested Shahrukh to be part of this tribute to Yashji and he happily agreed to walk with all the divas as part of the grand finale.”

Last year when the maverick filmmaker celebrated his 80th birthday, the Jab Tak Hai Jaan star had interviewed Chopra in front of a live audience comprising industry members and journalists at a grand event. While we definitely are looking forward to this event, what stands out as a sore thumb is the ex-favourite of YRF camp Kajol not being invited to this event.

Will Rani Mukerji finally marry Aditya Chopra in January 2014?

Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra have been romantically involved for few years, we have heard. Since then, there have been reports of the two tying the knot. But that hasn’t happened so far and the question is why? Apparently, the duo has never openly spoken about their relationship maybe ‘coz Adi’s family first didn’t approve of his choice. But Rani’s equation with Chopra family has changed, especially with Aditya’s mother Pamela Chopra. Recently, the two arrived together at the prayer meeting of Madhuri Dixit’s father Shankar R Dixit. Rani’s mother also accompanied them and the trio arrived at Madhuri’s residence in the same car. Reportedly, late filmmaker Yash Chopra and his wife Pamela weren’t happy with Adi and Ms Mukerji’s relationship but later they approved it. In fact, Rani was even present in Switzerland recently where Aditya celebrated his mother’s birthday.

Looks like Rani has finally won Pamela’s heart and for once wethinks the Bong babe will actually get hitched early next year (fingers crossed)!
