Bollywood remembers 26/11
It has been 10 years since the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack happened, the dark memories of killing of innocent people still flicker alive. The Bollywood fraternity paid tribute to those who sacrificed their lives.
Producer Ronnie Screwvala and makers of the new film Uri, based on the Uri attack of September 2016, showed their respect to all those martyred on that day by observing silence across 300 radio stations all over India.
As many as 164 people were killed and over 300 injured after the attack in Mumbai on November 26, 2008.
‘As a child, I had problems in reading and writing but my IQ and reflex were very good. Therefore, though in the class I was not a great student, I used to score passing marks. I was rather quite good at sports and other co-curricular activities.’

Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani says he is honoured that actor-producer John Abraham chose him to helm 1911, which will tell the story of an iconic event in India's sports history. “Totally honoured that John entrusted me to tell the story of 1911,” Advani tweeted.
In response, John wrote, “The honour is all mine.”
The film is a story of late Indian footballer Sibdas Bhaduri, who captained Mohun Bagan in the historic 1911 IFA Shield final when they defeated the East Yorkshire Regiment to become the maiden Asian team to emerge victorious in the competition.
Lady Gaga is a secret gamer
Singer Lady Gaga has revealed she is a secret gamer.
She spent the Thanksgiving holiday playing action-adventure hack and slash video game Bayonetta, Gaga revealed.
“I had to step away from the game for a minute to collect myself and now I'm in the middle of Chapter X and the battleships just Why? Bayonetta, gamer,” Gaga wrote on social media.
She was still at it, having progressed three levels further, reluctantly tearing herself away to sleep before getting straight back into it the following morning.
“Still playing the game middle of chapter XIII. It's four in the morning but this damn dragon with the face that I have to kill,” she tweeted.
