Pak India Tensions Also Affected Bollywood

Pak India Tensions Also Affected Bollywood

Pakistan and India are each other’s rivals from many years. Although from few years, they were moving with great peace and stability because of the foreign interventions and reconciliations. Recently it has been seen that Indian forces has shown some aggressiveness on the line of control in which Pakistani soldier was martyred.  

Due to this, the cross border relations became stringent hence effected everything that was commonly shared.  From past few years, our musicians and actors were moving to India for work and they were well recognized in Bollywood. The celebrities from Pakistan includes Ali Zafar, Atif Aslam, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan etc.

The latest news is this that all the concerts and films schedules have been cancelled and Pakistani musicians and actors are coming back from India just because of recent cross border tensions.  

These things must not happen and we all should live peacefully and with love. It is hopeful that healthy talk and dialogues will again stabilize this harsh situation and we all can enjoy freedom of work and entertainment.

Harry Styles And Taylor Swift Professes His Love To Her


There’s No Better Way To Show Your Love For A Woman Than By Gifting Her With A Vintage Piece Of Jewelry. That’s What One Direction Heartthrob Harry Styles Did For Taylor Swift. Swoon!

While The Whole World — Well, Maybe Just The Twitterverse’s Directioners — Was Oohing And Ah-hing (and Hating On Swift) Over The Pair’s Romantic New Year’s Eve Kiss, Styles Took The Romance To A Whole New Level In Private Thanks To His Thoughtful Gift.

The Sun Reports That Styles Gave Swift A Vintage Emerald Bracelet As Part Of Their New Year’s Eve Celebrations In N.y.c. He Found The Bracelet At A Secondhand Jewelry Place Near His Home In England While Engaging In A Little Christmas Shopping.

A Source Revealed, “harry Handpicked The Present For Taylor While He Was Back Home.” The Source Also Said That Swift Was “impressed” When He Handed It To Her. Uh, How Could She Not Be? It’s Such A Sweet Gesture.

“he Gave It To Her At The Plush Hotel They Stayed In While They Were Celebrating New Year In New York,” The Insider Revealed.

The 1der Reportedly Professed His Love To Swift While They Rung In 2013.

“harry Is Head Over Heels For Taylor And Even Admitted He Loves Her While They Were In The Big Apple,” The Source Revealed.

Aw! Sounds Like Haylor Are Really Getting Serious. Judging From The Photos Of Them, And The Smile Swift Wears When She Is With Him, The Feeling Is Mutual.

Demi Lovato Quits Twitter After Trust Rant


Demi Lovato Has A Long And Twisted History With Twitter — And She Recently Quit The Microblogging Site Yet Again.

Lovato Posted A Small Rant About Trust On Jan. 3, Writing, “patience + Communication = Trust When You Learn How To Communicate With Others, There’s Almost No Problem You Can’t Solve.” She Added, “p.s. Only Surround Yourself With People Who You Can Communicate With. Trust Is A Bond Between Two People That Is Found Only When They Are Able To Listen/understand Where The Other Person Is Coming From. That To Me, Is The Key To Friendships/ Relationships.”

Of Course, The World Was Pretty Confused By It. While It’s Great Advice For Sure, It Also Sort Of Came Out Of Left Field, Leading A Lot Of Sites To Speculate That Lovato Had Split With On-again Off-again Boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama. (last We Knew, They Were “on” — He Was Photographed Visiting The ‘x Factor‘ Set.) Her Previous Twitter Breaks Have Often Coincided With Their Splits.

Before Taking Her Twitter Hiatus, The ‘give Your Heart A Break’ Singer Wrote, “i Don’t Get How People Get “stories” From Very Vague Twitter Posts… About Friendship…..??” She Added, “blehh. I Really Love My Fans But I Hate Gossip Sites… Gonna Take A Breather From Twitter.. I Love Y’all!”

Lovato May Well Have Simply Referenced Her Own Friends. Lovato Rang In 2013 With Coffee And Friends, And She’s Said Previously That Before She Went To Treatment That She Didn’t Surround Herself With The Right People. Her Rep Told Hollywood Life, “she Tweets This Stuff Pretty Often, Sounds Like Sound Life Advice.”

Kesha Covers Seventeen 2013


Kesha Showed Her Softer Side With Some Super Cute Kittens In The February Issue Of Seventeen, Where She Also Had Wise Words For Her Animals — And Revealed A Pretty Juicy Secret About Herself.

Rocking Several Different, Diverse Rock N’ Roll, Bohemian, Flowery And Just Generally Pretty Looks, Kesha Still Looked Like Herself, Which Has Always Been Super Important To Her… Even When People Don’t Like What She’s Doing. She Admits In A Behind-the-scenes Video That She’s Landed On Worst Dressed Lists But That It Doesn't Bug Her, Because It Shows She’s Doing Her Own Thing.

“i Used [negative Comments] To Motivate Me Then, And I Still Do,” She Told The Mag. “i Remember Every Person Who Told Me I Couldn't Do Something Or That I Was Ugly Or Too Fat. I Have A ‘s— List’ — People From My Past Who Have Been Soulless And Judgmental. Even After I Got Through My Awkward Phase, Got My Braces Off And Figured Out How To Dress My Body, People In The Music Business Were Like, ‘you’re Never Going To Make It.’ I See Them Now And I’m Like, ‘ha!’ That’s One Of The Reasons I Named My Record ‘warrior,’” She Added. “you Can Be A Victim And Let That Eat Your Soul, Or You Can Say, You’re Going On My List And I’m Going To Prove You Wrong!”

First Off, Kesha? Ugly? Fat? Are These People Blind? She’s So Cute! Still, She Takes It In Stride When People Talk Smack. “i’m Very Much Into Making Fun Of Myself Because Other People Do It So You Have To Be Able To Laugh At Yourself,” She Said. “the Sooner You Can Laugh At Yourself, The Easier Your Life Will Be.”

That Doesn’t Mean She’s Okay With Outright Bullying. In Fact, She’s Adamantly Against It. “i’m All About Standing Up To Gay/lesbian/transgender Bullying, But It’s Also About My Little Brother,” She Said. “he’s 13 And He Gets Made Fun Of Because He Has A Stutter. I Just Have Zero Tolerance For People Making Fun Of Others.”

Another Reason K-dollar Sign May Be So Against Bullying Of The Lgbtq Community Is Because Not Only Do They Support Her, But She Identifies With Them. She Revealed, “i Don’t Love Just Men. I Love People. It’s Not About A Gender. It’s Just About The Spirit That Exudes From That Other Person You’re With.”
