It has remained a mystery for everyone.Now, it seems like the wait is finally over and the mystery is going to be unveiled. In the latest promo released by the channel video clips of last season are shown where Rakhi was questioned about her marriage and husband, Ritesh. The actress was also seen upset over it. But then suddenly she gets excited and tells everyone that the wait is over and she is all set to come with him in Bigg Boss 15.The promo later shows Rakhi asking him if he will go with her to the house.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya makes this SHOCKING revelation about why he stopped singing for Shah Rukh Khan

3 Oct 2018

In what seems to be another controversy, Abhijeet Bhattacharya has made a rather baffling statement. The singer, who has lent voice to some popular Bollywood biggies during the 90s, has claimed in recent reports that Shah Rukh Khan was a rockstar until he was singing for him. Abhijeet Bhattacharya spoke about it in the India Todays Saifagiri Summit and Awards 2018 that was held recently. During the summit, the renowned singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya made this explosive statement about why he stopped singing for Shah Rukh Khan. The singer was apparently asked why he isnt seen singing as often as we did during the 90s. When quizzed about it, Abhijeet responded that he has made superstars with his voice in the past. One amongst them, according to him, is Shah Rukh Khan. Abhijeet Bhattacharya believes that until he sang for Shah Rukh Khan, the actor was a rockstar. He added that when he stopped singing for him, the actor had to come down to Lungi Dance [ Chennai Express 2014]. On the other hand, he also revealed that there is a reason why he stopped singing for him. One of the last films, where Abhijeet Bhattacharya lent voice for the superstar was Om Shanti Om.But before that they had also worked together on another blockbuster of Shah Rukh Khan, Main Hoon Na.When he had given voice for that, Abhijeet stated these Farah Khan films had the concept of having everyone, from the spot boy to the filmmaker coming on screen during end credits. Abhijeet was then upset with the fact that during Main Hoon Na , while it featured everyone, they didnt have singers coming on screen. However, the singer also maintained that he had let it go then because it was the first time. But that was not all! He had sung the song Dhoom Tana from Om Shanti Om.During the end credits of the film too, they followed a similar format but once again, singers didnt feature in it. So this had reportedly pissed him off and he also mentioned that his self-respect was hurt. But he also said that he wouldnt ask them to add his name as he believes that he doesnt lack anything. On the other hand, Abhijeet Bhattacharya concluded the same, asserting that the actors for whom he didnt sing, never became superstars.

Abhijeet Bhattacharyas restaurant faces charges of illegal construction

29 Dec 2016

While readers may be aware that Abhijeet Bhattacharya has sung some of the biggest chartbusters of the 90s, the singer also owns a restaurant named Ticca Tikka in suburban Mumbai. The said resto is located in the same society where the singer resides and the society has taken objection to the shed of the restaurant calling it illegal. Society secretary Suman Arya who is thoroughly miffed with the current scenario stated notices alleging illegal encroachment has been sent to five establishment owners in the society, one of which is Abhijeet Bhattacharya. However, according to him, the authorities arent supportive and as soon as the sheds are demolished within the next few hours they are rebuilt again thereby failing to abide by the legal procedures. Reportedly, despite taking various measures like filing an RTI complaint and the BMC sending notices to Bhattacharya and others, not a single shop has acted to the notice. When the authorities went further and demolished the sheds, soon after they left, they were reconstructed. Assistant Municipal Commissioner of the ward, that is K ward, Parag Masurkar maintained that if they have rebuilt the sheds, they will demolish them once again and also seek an explanation. According to recent reports, this is the fourth time when the illegal sheds are being destroyed as it has been happening over five years. Suman Arya also further complained about Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharyas threats and accused him of abusing them. She also revealed that she along with others have lodged a complaint against him under sections 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. On the other hand, calling this a publicity stunt, Abhijeet Bhattacharya stated that he had rented out the property in question and only intervened in the fight with the society members when they apparently misbehaved with the shop owners.

Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya lashes out at Aamir Khan

26 Nov 2016

Over the past few days the media and social networks have been bussing with debates about whether Aamir Khan was correct in making certain intolerant remarks at a press conference. With numerous open letters being written to the actor, yesterday Aamir, cleared the air about his statements. Well, despite the Khans clarifications Bollywood singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya posted an open letter to the actor on his Facebook page condoning the remarks. Below is copy of the same: An open letter to Janab Aamir Khan, Janab Aamir Khan, I am an ordinary Indian citizen and an avid movie-goer. You are a superstar in a country where the majority of movie-goers are Hindu. For years, we have spent our money to buy tickets for your movies. It is our money that has made you what you are today. We clapped when as ACP Ajay Rathore, you destroyed a sweet-talking Gulfam Khan in Sarfarosh.We cheered when as Bhuvan, you played the winning shot in Lagaan.We cried when as a sensitive art teacher, you made us root for Ishaan Awasthi in Taare Zamin Par. A couple of generations before you, an Yusouf Khan had to become a Dilip Kumar to be accepted and a Mahajabeen Bano had to reinvent herself as Meena Kumari. Not you though. Neither you, nor your contemporaries had to hide your identity to be successful. You became a star in a new India. An India, where only your first name mattered. We loved you because you were Aamir, a brilliant actor. Neither your last name mattered to us, nor your faith. But yesterday, you proved to us that for you and your wife at least, it is your last name that matters more than anything else. Your name is Khan and you Sir, are a hypocrite. You did not scream intolerance when your city burned at the hands of some of your co-religionists. Your wife did not feel insecure when a mammoth crowd of some of your co-religionists attended the funeral of a hanged terrorist. You were silent even when a mob from Reza Academy kicked and destroyed a national memorial and manhandled female cops. But now, suddenly, your wife feels insecure in India and wants you to move out. If I WERE indeed intolerant, I would suggest you move to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the safest place on earth, where Begum Kiran Rao can feel absolutely secure inside her abaya and your little son can grow up watching public executions in a Riyadh square. But I am not going to do that. As a tolerant Indian, the only thing I can and WILL do is to make sure that not even one rupee of my hard-earned money goes towards buying tickets for your movies. Thanks for the disappointments. Regards, An Indian.
