Upendra is one star who has no airs about himself and who does not show off his starry status. Yet, of late, he has become a little intolerant and he has openly reacted to the comments made by Aamir regarding his wife wanting to leave the country due to growing intolerance in the country. “Dear @aamir_khan, you were one of the heroes whom I admired, if there is any intolerance as a hero you need to stand-up and try resolve it” tweeted Upendra.

”But if you runaway from it then you will be known as a coward, regret to say @aamir_khan, you are no longer a hero for me n many other fans” He further added, ”Don’t worry Aamir n Shahrukh Khan, your next movie will be superhit !!! Indians will prove how tolerant they are & you very well know it !!!” Surely Aamir’s comments have made headlines and reactions have been pouring in since the time Aamir tweeted those comments.

Actress Sonal Chauhan says the issue of weight struggles has been addressed in the “most sensitive” and “beautiful manner” in forthcoming Telugu-Tamil bilingual comedy “Size Zero”, which releases in cinemas on Friday. Directed by Prakash Kovelamudi and written by Kanika Dhillon, the film features Anushka Shetty in the lead role as an overweight woman. “The beauty of the film lies in the way it addresses a major issue with so much sensitivity. It presents everything in such a lighter vein that it will instantly connect with the audience,” Sonal told IANS. Describing her experience of working in the film as “fantastic”, she said: “When I first met Prakash and his wife Kanika, there was so much of positivity around them. I usually go by the vibes, and I knew deep down here’s a project that’ll definitely work.” Despite the outcome of the project, Sonal believes that everybody who worked on the film will be “really proud”.

“This is a story with a lot of heart, and made by a team of people who sincerely felt for it,” she said. The film also stars Arya and Adivi Sesh, besides cameos by a bevy of stars such as Akkineni Nagarjuna, Rana Daggubati, Simhaa, Jiiva, Kajal Aggarwal, Tamannaah Bhatia, Hansika Motwani and Revathy. The film, according to the “Legend” actress, also successfully breaks many stereotypes, including some preconceived notion about non-resident Indians (NRI). “Although I play a very fit, good-looking and glamorous NRI who comes to India to work on a project with an NGO, I’m portrayed in a very positive light but not as someone sans the traditional values,” she said. On working with Anushka, with whom Sonal has shared the screen space for the first time, she said: “I think Anushka deserves the success she’s got so far this year. Good things only happen to good people and I want only good things to happen to her.” Sonal said that even though Anushka is a highly successful star, she remains grounded. “This quality is what makes her instantly likable. It’s extremely tough to be humble when you’re so successful, but Anushka is an exception and that’s something I learnt from her,” she said.

Anushka Shetty has put on a lot of weight for her oversized character in Size Zero. It is a very brave move for an actress who thrives upon glamorous roles all the time. Anushka had to let go many films to maintain the look for Size Zero. She is still looking bulky and had to shed lot of kilos before she gets back on the sets of Baahubali. Rumor mills say that Anushka is planning to undergo a weight loss surgery in US to get back in shape. Anushka denied the news and said that she would never do such things that might affect her health and body. Being a yoga instructor herself Anushka believes in natural ways to shed down the extra kilos.

Anushka has put on weight within few months all by the changes in diet. She is all set to shed all that flab by doing yoga and making subtle changes to her diet. Anushka has given more than a year for Baahubali 2 and is not taking up any new assignments as she wanted to give her full time for this epic movie. She is hoping to score a memorable success with Size Zero that is slated for release on this Friday.

Rashi Khanna and Gopichand were seen romancing in the movie Jil that didn’t fare that well at the box office. However their cute romance track in the movie has won accolades. Rashi and Gopi share an amazing on screen chemistry and despite Jil’s lukewarm performance at the ticket window the duo is all set to do another film.

Mumbai: Bollywood actor-producer Aamir Khan on Wednesday clarified his stance on ‘intolerance’, saying he and his wife Kiran Rao love India and won’t leave the country. Aamir said that while he stood by the interview that triggered a huge row, the avalanche of criticism directed at him and his wife only proved what he had said of the situation in the country. “First, let me state categorically that neither I nor my wife Kiran have any intention of leaving the country. We never did, and nor would we like to in the future,” he said in a statement. “Anyone implying the opposite has either not seen my interview or is deliberately trying to distort what I have said. “India is my country, I love it, I feel fortunate for being born here, and this is where I am staying,” the 50-year-old celebrated actor said. “Secondly, I stand by everything that I have said in my interview.

“To all those people who are calling me anti-national, I would like to say that I am proud to be Indian, and I do not need anyone’s permission or endorsement for that. “To all the people shouting obscenities at me for speaking my heart out, it saddens me to say you are only proving my point. “To all the people who have stood by me, thank you. We have to protect what this beautiful and unique country of ours really stands for. We have to protect its integrity, diversity, inclusiveness, its many languages, its culture, its history, its tolerance, it’s concept of ‘ekantavada’, it’s love, sensitivity and its emotional strength.” At an awards event in New Delhi on Sunday, Aamir had spoken of “growing despondency” in India for the last six to eight months. He had said: “When I sit at home and talk to Kiran, for the first time she said, ‘Should we move out of India?’ Now that’s a very disastrous and a big comment to make to me.” His statement attracted widespread criticism even as many defended him.
