2016 has started with a bang and Bollywood has had its own shares of ups and downs. It’s only January and we’ve already seen catfights, divorces, new love stories, abortions, alcoholism and a whole lot of other stuff.
Let’s do a quick recap, now shall we?
1. Priyanka Chopra made her country proud once again by becoming the first south Asian woman to win the People’s Choice Awards!
2. She also got candid in an interview about not needing men unless it is for children…
Which she may have regretted later.
3. Sonam Kapoor made her country proud too by doing a cameo in Coldplay’s new song..
(Psst… also, loved what Twinkle Khanna had to say about the music video!)
4. Aamir Khan got removed as brand ambassador of Incredible India following his remarks on how intolerant our country has become…
5. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan apparently called Rekha ‘ma’ at an award show…
And OBVIOUSLY the camera zoomed into Amitabh Bachchan’s face repeatedly.
6. The Dabboo Ratnani Calendar, as per usual, gave us amazing photos of our amazing stars…
Check out some fun behind-the-scene action.
7. Diana Hayden delivered her first baby using eggs she froze 8 years ago at the age of 42…
8. Kangana Ranaut opened up about being physically abused in the industry…
9. In other news, Kangana’s bitch-fight with Deepika Padukone gained steam too…
I mean, Kangana accused Deepika of making “desperate calls” to her!
10. But the Kangana story that rocked headlines for weeks was her alleged affair with Hrithik Roshan…
You know, the one she confirmed and Hrithik denied?
11. Meanwhile, DP rocked it out in the gym prepping for her Vin Diesel movie…
#FitnessGoals… one video at a time.
12. Reports of Poonam Pandey getting an abortion started doing the rounds…
13. We had to watch Sunny Leone sit through a cringe-worthy interview…
14. Rishi Kapoor continued to rock Twitter…
First, by calling out Parineeti Chopra for receiving an award for her weight loss…
And then, by calling himself Alia Bhatt of the ’70s. LOL!
15. Karan Singh Grover opened up about fighting alcoholism…
And we were very proud of him for sharing his story.
16. Katrina Kaif was in the news a lot…
For her appearance on Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 9.
And for her hair color that apparently cost Rs. 55 Lakh.
She obviously denied it though.
17. A lot of band-baajaa-baaraat happened in Jan…
—Kabir Bedi got married on his 70th birtday in a surprise ceremony! (which didn’t go down well with daughter Pooja Bedi AT ALL)
—Asin and Rahul Sharma had a grand wedding!
—Raveena Tandon‘s daughter had a beautiful church ceremony.
—Sikander Kher and Priya Singh got engaged too!
18. Yami and Pulkit seemed to be in love for most parts…
To the extent that they’re only doing love making scenes with each other.
19. 2016 also seems to be the year of the break-ups…
—Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif broke up…
—As did Farhan Akhtar and Adhuna.
—Raghu Ram and Sugandha are headed for a divorce…
—And reports of Malaika Arora Khan and Arbaaz Khan are doing the rounds.
—Apparently Sohail Khan is having marital problems too.
—Like that wasn’t enough, Karisma Kapoor‘s divorce with Sanjay Kapoor got super murky and Randhir Kapoor had some words.
