He says he wants both of them to apologise for disrespecting the Indian Army like that and feels that it was disrespectful to our soldiers.

After his memorable tryst with the likes of Star Entertainment India, Imagine TV, Sameer Nair tried his hand in politics as well by joining the Aam Adami Party (AAP). The latest update on Sameer Nair is that, he has now stepped down as the Group CEO of Balaji Telefilms. Speaking about his decision, Sameer Nair said that it had been an amazing experience working with Ekta, Shobha Kapoor and all other colleagues at Balaji Telefilms. He added that the management teams were in place and the company was poised for its next phase of growth. He also added that he would remain a mentor and guide to the company and a close friend of the (Kapoor) family. On the other hand, Shobha Kapoor (Managing Director- Balaji Telefilms) said that Sameer Nair was more like family to them and that they had a relationship dating back to 2000 when they first worked together on Star Plus. Wishing Sameer Nair the very best in his future endeavours, Shobha Kapoor said that they were happy to have his continued support as an advisor and friend.
Yesterday evening we saw the trailer launch of the third instalment in the Masti series titled Great Grand Masti.While the trailer did perk up out interest in the film, what caught our attention was the fact that neither Ekta Kapoor nor her mother Shobha Kapoor has been credited as producers of the film. Instead Sameer Nair and Aman Gill who work in Balaji have taken their place as producers. Talking about the reason behind both Ekta and Shobha Kapoors names being missing from the credits, a source close to the production house says, This phase of Ekta and Shobha Kapoor not taking credit started from the days of Kya Kool Hain Hum.In fact Shobha was not comfortable with her name being featured as a producer especially on sex comedies and hence decided to not feature in the credits. Simultaneously, Ekta being who she is (read: as superstitions as she is) didnt want her to be there without her mothers name in the credits and hence decided to forgo the same. But since it is an Alt Entertainment film, Sameer and Aman have been credited as producers. As for the film itself, Great Grand Masti that is co-produced by Maruti International, ALT Entertainment and Shri Adhikari Bros features Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh Aftab Shivdasani in lead roles alongside Sonal Chauhan, Sana Khan , Mishti and Ankita Shorey. Directed by Indra Kumar, the film is slated to release in July 2016.
Even though the veteran actor Jeetendra is all set to touch 75 years of age, there is no sign of him looking old. Speaking about his 75 th birthday, a big bash is being planned in Jaipur, which will be attended by his wife Shobha Kapoor and daughter Ekta Kapoor along with their close friends like Rakesh Roshan and Rishi Kapoor.The one person who will not be able to attend the birthday celebrations is none other than Tusshar Kapoor.And the reason for Tusshar Kapoor s inability to attend father Jeetendras birthday celebrations is because of his the month long Hyderabad shooting schedule of Golmaal Again.Besides Tusshar Kapoor, the other person who will be missing the grand celebrations is his son and Jeetendras grandson Laksshya. A source close to Jeetendras family said that, Tusshar Kapoors dates were committed in advance. Though the Mumbai schedule wrapped upon Sunday, it would be very hectic for Tusshar and Laksshya to go to Jaipur just for a day and then head to Hyderabad. So, they will celebrate Jeetujis birthday at home before leaving.

Despite being a production house that has often pushed the envelope with their choice of scripts, this time when they are bringing erotica onscreen, Balaji Production head honcho, Shobha Kapoor felt it was best her name be excluded from the credits.
According to sources who have worked on XXX, the lady thought it was best not to include her name given the risque content of the film. Given that Shobha along with daughter Ekta Kapoor have managed to make the company into one of the biggest names in the business of production, when she decided to be excluded from the project everyone seemed to understand.
Says the source, "The content of the film is staying true to the premise of erotica, while it is a subject that is intriguing to all, it is something no one feels comfortable seeing around your parents so it's completely understandable that Mrs. Kapoor felt it best to keep away from it. She has been there as a producer in every possible way. We are more than glad about that."
Directed by Ken Ghosh, XXX will be a compilation of six stories based on sex and erotica.
