That way, this week has been very emotionally draining for Bollywood. Where on one side everyone is still struggling to come in terms with Sridevi’s sudden demise. The news of Irrfan Khan being diagnosed with a rare disease has further left everyone in a state of shock. Like what’s even happening with this sudden pall of gloom setting upon the industry with depressing news coming one after another? Here, we take you down the week gone by with these top 5 newsmakers…
Irrfan Khan suffering from ‘rare disease’
One day you get to hear Irrfan is down with Jaundice and a few days later you see him issuing a statement saying he is suffering from a “rare disease”. Indeed, life is so unpredictable as Irrfan mentioned in his statement, “Sometimes you wake up with a jolt with life shaking you up. The last fifteen days, my life has been a suspense story. Little had I known that my search for rare stories would make me find a rare disease. I have never given up and have always fought for my choices and always will. My family and friends are with me and we are working it out the best way possible. In trying times, please don’t speculate as I will myself share with you my story within a week – ten days, when the further investigations come with a conclusive diagnosis. Till then, wish the best for me.” Although some insensitive people are busy spreading rumours abiyt him suffering from brain cancer but we believe, we should allow Irrfan to address the issue when he thinks it’s the right time. Let’s not complicate things when the circumstances are already so difficult.

In fact, they are still reeling under the fact she’s know more, just like most of us. But like how they say, the show must goes on, Janhvi is already back on the set of her first film, Dhadak, to fulfill her mother’s dream. Yes, Janhvi finally resumed shooting for the film on Friday and from what we hear, it was a rather dramatic scene. Not to mention, the entire Kapoor family also came together to cheer up Janhvi on her 21st birthday by hosting a sweet surprise. Click HERE for all pics

Movie releases
This weekend has four releases – Hate Story 4 which is an erotic thriller, Baa Baaa Black Sheep that is a crime comedy of sorts, 3 Storeys that looks like a promising thriller and Dil Juunglee that is a light-hearted romantic comedy. As expected, all 4 films are doing below average business at the box office, giving last week’s release Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety a yet another successful week.
