Seventh edition of Asian film festival was inaugurated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh on Thursday evening. 80 films from 20 asian countries as well as from Palestine and Egypt will be screened during 8-day festival. The festival began with the screening of Chinese film "Tuya's marriage" at the Y B Chavan centre.

During inauguration function, Deshmukh appreciated the emerging content-driven cinema which has blurred the divide between commercial and art film.

It seems that Monica Bedi’s behavior in the house of Bigg Boss is making imprisoned don Abu Salem unhappy. He has sent second legal notice to Bedi.

The notice states: "You (Bedi) are a married woman and if you want to marry some other man, you will first have to obtain divorce from Salem."

Abu Salem mentioned in the notice that he is "anguished by her liasions with another man" in the reality show. 

Salem said that he is stressed with Bedi's comments on the show that she would like to get married and settle down with the right guy. 

Ace Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, who has already endorsed a huge range of products, will be seen as a brand ambassador of yet another product, Linc pens. It is for the very first time that the company has signed a superstar to promote its product.

According to Mr. Deepak Jalan, the Managing Director of Linc Pens, Shah Rukh Khan was the obvious choice they could think of as the celebrity himself is a style icon and is best at personifying elegance and also because he has a mass appeal.

After spending almost a week, ace Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has been discharged from Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital today.

Big B was admitted to hospital on his 66th birthday on October 11, because of abdominal pain and breathlessness.

Amitabh went back home in his own car. He was accompanied by his loving son Abhishek Bachchan, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Bachchan and daughter Shweta Nanda. 

The doctors treating Big B have been happy with his speedy recovery. 

Millions of his fans had been praying for the recovery of their megastar.
