Rani Mukerji who recently tied the knot at 36. While she exchanged vows with filmmaker Aditya Chopra in Italy, her contemporaries like Tabu, Preity Zinta and Urmila Matondkar continue to be in the list of 30-plus yet single.

In Bollywood an actress is written off after she gets married. So many actresses dread to get married even though they are in a relationship. This written off thing is not so true when it comes to actresses like Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla.

They may not be getting the main lead but for sidekick roles. This may be an important reason to ditch their personal life and they stay single.

There are other Bollywood beauties like Priyanka Chopra and Amrita Rao who have also found a spot on the list. While Rani recently had a beautiful wedding in the Italian countryside, her cousin Tanishaa Mukerji, also 36, is still staying away from marital bliss.

Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai actress Ameesha Patel is also yet to get hitched.

Salman Khan’s love life is no news to B-town. Months after his relationship with Bollywood beauty Bollywood Actress Katrina Kaif ended for over some unknown reasons, Salman started seeing a Romanian TV anchor named Iulia Vantur. There was a strong buzz that Salman is very serious about his new Romanian girlfriend, and would marry her soon. But then came a twist in the tale!

Our birdie, on the condition of anonymity informed us that the Dabanng dude is single again and has ended his alleged romance with Iulia Vantur. Wait, there is some more. The reason for their break up is apparently Salman’s parents. If the reports are to be believed, Iulia apparently is married to Grammy nominated Marius Moga. When she was confronted about it, she kept denying the allegations. That was when Salman’s family decided to step in and take charge of the situation. As more and more information about Iulia’s past started to emerge, the Khan family decided it was best that the couple parted ways.

Apparently, Salman who was facing problems in getting a visa for London finally got it but he stayed back in the city to celebrate Eid and to sort this matter out with his family. But it seems that Salman failed to convince his parents.

Now on one hand where Salman is alone and single again, Iulia is believed to have packed her bags and gone back to Romania.

Suraj Pancholi Reveals Jiah Khan's Shocking Past

After all the rumours and speculation that floated around him, Suraj Pancholi now has come forward and cleared the air on his relationship with Jiah Khan. With the court having granted him release and closing the case against him, he speaks about his love, life and times with Jiah.

In an interview to the Times of India, Suraj Pancholi Reveals Jiah Khan's Shocking Past, “I met her through Facebook 10 months back. She was a really nice person, quiet, small things made her happy, caring, but she was too possessive even about my guy friends. We went twice for dinner and then a week later, I get a message saying, ‘Suraj, I need help. My hand is bleeding. Can you come over?’ I was in town and she stayed in Sagar Sangeet Juhu (three minutes from my house), so I sent my staff to her house at 11.30 at night. She opened the door and fainted. She had slit her hand at the elbow like 3 inches. I was 21 then. By the time I went there, the doctor had stitched her up and she was on drips. I was with her, but she did not speak.”

Later, Suraj spoke to her mother in London and asked her to come as her daughter needed help. She promised to come in 2 months but turned up only after 4. “During those four months, I fell in love with Nafisa. I could relate to her as I too, like her, lived alone and could see what she was going through. She would tell me how she was depressed due to not getting work, her relationship with her family not being good, the fact that her father had disowned her and that she supported herself. She told me about her getting abused by her former boyfriends and how an older man had raped her when she was 14 in London and how at one point in her life, she would get only one meal a day. I fell even more for her. She just needed more love from her family and respect from people around. I could not fulfill all of that, though I did more than a 21-year-old could. She would cry every night. She could never be alone after she met me and would come to my house often.”

He also revealed that she had trust issues. She would accompany him to class and sometimes he would have to make his teachers talk to her to convince her that he was in class. He also revealed how she would cry every night during the seven months he was with her she would cry.

He also shared that, “Before she committed suicide on Monday, she called on Saturday to say, ‘I am going to Hyderabad. I am going to get a film and just want you to spend this Sunday with me’. I told her okay, but I don’t want to go through the trauma of separation again so this would be the last Sunday together.

I sent her a bouquet on Monday morning saying, ‘All the best’. She again called me on Monday evening saying, ‘I want to meet you’. I said, ‘I can’t meet you’ and sent her a message saying, ‘Nafisa, let’s not do this’ and put my phone off. And that’s the last time I spoke to her. Two hours later, my father told me about her committing suicide.”

“I still love her.”, he signs off.

Shah Rukh Khan and his wife recently hit the headlines with the news of the couple having a surrogate child. But even before the good news could be confirmed by the celebrity couple, controversy struck when a certain NGO claimed that the couple had done sex determination test of the child, which is illegal in India. However, clearing the air on the matter, SRK sent out a press statement not only announcing the name of his son but also clarifying that he never did those tests as claimed by certain people. Following is the press statement sent out by SRK...

Amidst all the noise that has been going around, the sweetest is the one made by our new-born baby, AbRam.

He was born prematurely by several months but has finally come home.

Gauri and our whole family have been dealing with his health issues for a long time now.

As a family our silence on this subject has been because of the personal nature of emotional strife that we have been going through due to his health.

We wish to make a special mention and thank Dr. Jatin Shah for his expertise and contribution. We also wish to thank all the other doctors, nurses and medical staff who have made his life possible. As trying were the times, we never lost hope that life always brings with it.

Just to put the record straight there was no sex determination for our child. The baby was born much before the speculations of 'sex determination' and other 'issues' pertaining to the same were being raised in the media by some organisations.

Suffice to say his coming home puts to rest completely false and at times insensitive claims of sex determination and alleged illegalities.

We also apologise to all those other doctors and hospitals who had to face unwanted scrutiny and questioning by some parties.

Our son is a surrogate baby and the entire process is bound by strict confidentiality. We would appeal to all, to allow us to cherish this private moment as a family.

It seems unfortunate that I have to explain/clarify so many aspects for our new-born baby. Wish it were just a simple message of happiness on behalf of the family.

They say a baby is God's opinion that the world should go on. Post this statement, I hope we all move on too.

Thank you.

Shah Rukh Khan
