Well-known couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will visit Princess Diana's grave before they get married later this year.

The 33-year-old royal Prince Harry is set to wed the American actress Meghan Markle in May this year, but before they tie the knot, they are believed to planning one last trip to his mother's childhood home in Althorp, where she was buried, reports a famous portal.

Harry and Meghan, 36, earlier visited Althorp in November, where sources suggest Harry "quietly" asked his late mother for permission to pop the question to Meghan later that month.

A source revealed to the newspaper, "Harry has already taken Meghan to Althorp to see his mum, but they will go back before the big day. Harry wanted to take Meghan to see and speak to her ... it was very personal for Harry. I think he quietly asked his mum for her blessing to marry Meghan, too."

Lately, Karan Johar tweeted his view about the movie. He wrote, “Huge Congratulations to the magnificent team of #Padmavat ! The maestro Sanjay Leela Bhansali! The magical trio @deepikapadukone @shahidkapoor and @RanveerOfficial ! A bonafide BLOCKBUSTER!! A validation of conviction and passion!”

Shahid and Shraddha to prepare for Batti Gul Meter Chalu!

No talk for Salman and Kabir Khan after Tubelight debacle?

Director Kabir Khan, who has directed Salman Khan in Tubelight, Ek Tha Tiger and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, is no longer on talking terms with him. As per a news, a close friend of Salman revealed a famous tabloid that the megastar isn’t on talking terms with Kabir anymore.

A source told, ‘’the differences between them have been brewing for some time now. Tubelight was the end of their friendship. Salman and Kabir had heated arguments over how the film and its characters needed to be treated. There were stand-offs in full view of the entire unit, where Kabir would not give in to Salman’s suggestions.’’

The source further specified, “We can comfortably assume that Ali Abbas now occupies the place in Salman’s professional and personal range that Kabir occupied earlier. Ali is more open to Salman’s suggestions than Kabir was. Ali and Salman have worked on two blockbusters Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai. And if their third film together, Bharat, is a smash success, Ali Zafar would be one-up on Kabir, since his last movie with Salman, Tubelight, didn’t work.”

Seemingly, Kabir had approached Salman for a fourth movie. But apparently Salman showed no interest. So, Kabir Khan is now working on his cricket movie with Ranveer Singh.

Deepika pursued Vishal Bharadwaj for making Sapna Didi biopic!

When a media source questioned Deepika about this, she told, “Of all the scripts I have heard in the last two years, I’ve been stuck on this one. He (Vishal Bharadwaj) brought this to me first, got me excited and then when I was ready to do it, he had moved on to something else. But, I persisted. It’s the one occasion where I pursued the director to make the film.”

About co-star Irrfan Khan with who she will be paired again after Piku she told, “He’s witty, smart and intelligent. I’m glad I’ll be bouncing my ideas off someone who’s a master at what he does. For an actor, that’s going to be challenging but also exciting.”

She also spoke about her personal life and revealed, “It’s important to retain a bit of yourself for yourself- that’s what will keep you alive as a person. Also, you have to be careful, because a lot of what is posted on social media is merely projection. I work in the field of mental health, so I know the negative aspects of it and the kind of repercussions it can have on young minds. It’s important to find a balance.”

Just hearing about the collections washes away all my pain of the last 8-9 months… well, maybe not all of it.”

He further added, “Every time I was attacked, I used my pain and suffering as an impetus to work better. I channelised all my anxiety into making Padmaavat. I think suffering has always been an incentive for my creativity.”

They just saw that I could do something different.”

Associated to it, JP's daughter Nidhi Dutta specified, "Abhishek Bachchan is no longer part of Paltan for personal reasons best known to him. It has come as a shock to us as this happened less than 24 hours before our unit left to shoot in Ladakh. But we also believe that; especially in the movies we make, it's the soldiers sitting up there that choose who will play them and recreate their lives on screen. Nevertheless, we wish him luck in his future endeavours. We are already in Ladakh filming with our entire cast and crew and Army personnel. We will announce the actor who is replacing Abhishek in the film soon."

There were numerous news making the rounds about Abhishek backing out of the project. Speaking about it, a source previously told to a daily, "Abhishek was quite kicked about Paltan. However, he realised after a while that Sonu Sood had more screen space than him. That bothered him considerably. When he discussed his apprehensions with Dutta, he told him that while Sonu had more screen time, it was Abhishek who had a better character written for him. Dutta could not convince him and he backed out at the end minute."

But, when lately Abhishek was questioned about the same, he gave the reason to a tabloid, "Sadly, things did not work out for me, and I couldn’t be a part of the film. But he’s the best, and I wish him best luck. I’m sure he will make a fantastic movie."

Abhishek was substituted by Harshvardhan Rane in Paltan.

I have the freedom of expression. This is a democracy, and I can say what I want to and what I feel."

He further told, "As long as I am not offending someone personally, or I am not agitating against anything that’s a delicate matter, I don’t think that anyone should have a problem with what I say."

When questioned about getting into an argument with people on Twitter, Rishi further added, "Who cares! Do you think I give a damn to these trolls or what they say? These so-called trolls feel very important if you [any celebrity] react or respond to their tweet. So, I don’t let them have that moment of joy."

He also told, "Everything is okay but the moment you abuse me, or you offend me, I would do nothing but simply block you. That means you can no longer follow me or see what I am doing. Either you create a new account, start tweeting and then follow me again. So, you lose me for that period."

Rishi disclosed that he has blocked about 5000 people from this Twitter. He ended conversation by telling, "Isne koi gadbad ki, ya meri family ke bare main kuch kaha ya kuch bhi galat cheez likhi (if anyone dares to take a dig at my family members or write anything mean on my Twitter timeline), I will block him/her. I don’t want this kind of bad influence on my Twitter timeline. I believe that one bad fish spoils the other lot as well, and since I don’t want this to go on, it’s easier for me to block that person, and then they don’t get to talk to me."

She specified, "It’s simply five things - Do not give a s**t to what nameless, faceless people say because they are obviously cowards. If they wanted to comment on you, they wouldn’t do it anonymously. Usually, they are fake profiles who are hired to write such stuff by whoever. I don’t know! Report them. Block them. You should also know that because you are relevant, they’re talking about you — good or bad. And finally, just be positive and happy knowing that there are people who love you for who you are."

Previously, Sonam wrote a column on trolls for a tabloid, where she told, "The trolls can be sexist and judgmental but I know I’m smart and capable of expressing an opinion. I’m a successful woman, a feminist, a humanist, a national award winner and I say this with a great sense of pride and satisfaction: I get to live a fairy tale life every single day. I walk the international stage, I’m an avid reader with a library full of books, I am a consumer of news, an engaged Indian and so very capable of having a discussion on any issue, with anyone. Just because I’m an actor, it doesn’t mean I can’t have an opinion."

So, you have to sort of understand the privilege we come from, and from that privilege comes the social responsibility."

She further revealed, "I think that from the time when I became Miss World, I became an adult... in a way when I won, even though I was 17, I grew up suddenly. I felt... I have a position that [I could] use to be able to actually make a tangible difference in the world, and not just talk about it but do it."

Priyanka further added, "And then, I started looking for ways to be able to do it. So, I associated with a lot of causes, I met a lot of people and a lot of organisations that actually did what I wanted to do. My relationship with UNICEF started about 11 years ago and it still continues."

When questioned if she has ever faced questions like child marriages still exist in India, Priyanka responded, "Yeah, of course. I can’t give you names. A generic thought is [about] arranged marriage, child marriage, rapes... those are the questions."

The gifted actor finished conversation by telling, "It makes me want to come back and do something about it. I’m not a liar, so I can’t turn around and say it doesn’t [happen]. But at the same time, I’m not going to be someone who says that’s all India stands for. Every country has its own issues. We have these issues; they [West] have their issues. The point is finding a solution, and that’s what I try to focus on."
