Bollywood actor Salman Khan has been involved in various charities during his career. He has started NGO called Being Human and says after achieving so much in his career it is time to give back through charities. He says he is certainly doing his bit.Salman’s Being Human Foundation sells clothes, merchandises online and in stores in Mumbai, Ludhiana and Ahmedabad. A huge percentage of the money that Salman earns through his films is donated to the foundation.The Dabangg star is now planning to open restaurants and hospitals in the next five to six months under the same initiative. He said, “It is not my business to get into restaurants, clothing etc. As an actor, you only have the habit of getting things most of the times. But there is always time to give back to the society and I am doing my bit.”The 47-year-old actor also added that a certain amount from Being Human also takes care of industry people like workers and technicians. “Friends from the film industry do help whenever they can. But I am not good at asking money. You ask and keep asking for money and those people run away from you, and you lose friends. If you like any of things that are available at our stores come and pick it up. A percentage from this goes back into the charity, so you are doing charity.” he explained.Salman, who endorse Suzuki Motorcycle in India, also joins his foundation Being Human to promote their new vehicle Suzuki Access. The new association is an extension of the already existing ties with Salman and Suzuki as the actor endorses the Japanese brand.

Even though Indra Kumar-directed Grand Masti worked well at the box-office, and turned out to be the first adult film to enter in 100-crore-club, the film has been written off by the critics, and has garnered a lot of disapproval.In fact, film director Zoya Akhtar has nothing good to say about the adult comedy film Grand Masti, and says she would never waste her money for such movies."Grand Masti... I wouldn't even enter to watch it. I have seen the promo and I know that it is not for me. It is appalling, it will make me very irritable and there is no way I am going to give money to this film," the 40-year-old said.The film starred Vivek Oberoi, Aftab Shivdasani and Riteish Deshmukh. And even though Zoya is not disturbed that a bad film like Grand Masti made money, but it does hurt her when good cinema fails to impress the audience. "I feel sad when good films don't make money. When bad films make money, I am like 'something had to come out of it, he has no talent so he might as well make some cash'. But a good filmmaker should make money," she said at the launch of film critic Anupama Chopra's book 100 Films To See Before You Die.We hope things would change for better in coming days!

Sultry siren informed on Twitter account about shutting down her profile and "Promises" to be active on her official Twitter."There was no serious networking happening there and people with fake profiles approach you with wrong intentions. Every wannabe becomes a serious Film Maker or a Film personality and you cannot do anything about it.

I am working in some good projects and all these projects approached me directly," said Kavita Radheshyam.The actress who always stayed in news for reasons such as giving a sexy photo-shoot tribute to late Silk Smitha to refusing Bigg Boss season 5 wild card entry offer agreed there are good people networking on the world's biggest social networking site, But some Losers try and give bad name to the genuine people."I had a very small friend list in my Facebook profile that consists of genuine people. But what i really hate about Facebook is there are so manyCelebrities account which are Fake and by the time you come to know, it's too late. Even the Police Authority refuses any help here because the procedure takes a long time. The second thing which irritated me the most is any wannabe loser projects himself as a filmmaker and tries to act funny with you by sending you cheap messages even if he is not in your Friend-list." concluded Kavita.Kavita is looking forward to the release of her most hyped Kannada action thriller Ragini IPS. She is also doing another Kannada Film along with a Marathi and a Hindi film which she refused to divulge any details.

The maiden episode of Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee with Karan featuring Salman Khan went viral amidst the audience. It was an awe-struck beginning that one reality show could ever have. This was followed by equally accepted chapter of gorgeous Kareena Kapoor along with superstar brother Ranbir Kapoor.And now, the famous show will mark the presence of none other than Aamir Khan, who is well-known for his choosy nature. He is selective about his choice of films that is known by everyone but to our knowledge actor Aamir Khan is equally choosy about giving interviews. But it seems Karan Johar has cracked the deal calling him in his show for the first time.The coming episodes of the show will see Aamir Khan is turning candid along with wife Kiran Rao. They will sit on the couch opposite host Karan and we expect nothing less than fireworks from this one. We haven't seen Aamir and Kiran together giving an interview before and Karan will ensure that their first time together is worthwhile.First Salman and now Aamir, we wonder why Karan is ignoring his best buddy Shah Rukh Khan who usually was the first choice for all the seasons.
