Salman Khan mends friend with John Abraham

Salman Khan mends friend with John Abraham: In Bollywood, enmity is as common as a deep-layered friendship. Hence, it’s not a matter of grave astonishment that Salman Khan and John Abraham had been brewing some animosity for the last 4 years.

Though, they were never the best of friends, there was no cause for hatred until things went horribly wrong during a stage show. A misunderstanding cropped up and they developed a cold rivalry. However, now the duo seems to have patched up. Salman, reportedly, hugged John on the sets of ‘Desi Boyz’, a film by Rohit Dhawan.

The film stars some quality actors including Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Sanjay Dutt, Chitrangda Singh and John Abraham. Salman happened to visit the sets and when he noticed John, he acknowledged his presence and gave him a tight bear hug thus marking an end to all acrimonies.

While this would mightily please the movie buffs, the most scarred relationship still features between Salman and SRK. There was a time when Sallu and Shahrukh were close buddies but after a brawl in Katrina’s birthday party (sometime back) they have turned acidic.

However, their fans can keep their fingers crossed. Who knows, a change of heart may prompt Salman to give the ‘jaadu ki jhappi’ to his ‘Karan Arjun’ co-star! While, we can’t predict if that’s going to transpire or not, but the day it does happen, it would, certainly, be the biggest news of the week.

Salman Khan and John Abraham are Pakkey Dost?

Salman Khan and John Abraham are Pakkey Dost?: This reconciliation was long overdue. Salman Khan and John Abraham have not been on talking terms for years. Not anymore.

The thaw happened at Mehboob Studios where Salman had gone to meet Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt on the sets of Rohit Dhawan’s directorial debut Desi Boyz which also stars John Abraham, Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Singh.

As Salman met with Akshay and Sanjay, he spotted John. From what he hear, John gave a disarming smile that made Salman smile back. The two walked toward each other, and to the surprise of everyone around, hugged.

This one gesture is all it took to end the long cold war that started more than four years ago during the ‘Rockstar’ concerts.

Reportedly, when John and Salman hugged, there was no awkwardness or discomfort between them. Everyone around heaved a sigh of relief and partied after that. John and Salman were then seen bonding over lunch.

Legal advice or conviction for Monica Bedi but Breather for John Abraham

Legal advice or conviction for Monica Bedi but Breather for John Abraham: The bail of Bollywood actor John Abraham was extended on Monday in the rash driving case in which he was sentenced to 15-days’ imprisonment last month.

The sessions court in Mumbai extended the actor’s bail and adjourned the matter till November 17 in the case that dates back to the April of 2006 when John had an accident on his bike in which two cycle riders were injured.

John’s lawyer had filed an appeal against the conviction on October 29. Now, the court has given time to the prosecution to frame a reply to the appeal by John’s lawyer.

In another development, the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the conviction of the former actress Monica Bedi in the fake passport case. However, the apex court reduced the sentence to the imprisonment already undergone by the actress.

Monica has served two years and six months of imprisonment.

Bipasha basu shocked for John punishment

Bipasha basu shocked for John punishment: The 15-day jail sentence for actor John Abraham has shocked everyone close to him, and that includes his parents and girlfriend.
A day after the verdict, actress Bipasha Basu is still reeling under shock. "We'll go to a higher court to fight the verdict. We can't just accept it quietly. John has been treated unfairly," she said.

When the jail sentence was read out in the courtroom, Abraham went so pale that people around thought he would pass out. More than himself, he was concerned about what his God-fearing parents, who have never seen the inside of a police station or courtroom, would go through when they heard about the sentence for an offence that was committed so long ago that even the people closest to him had forgotten about it, a source said.

Basu, who was at a shoot, didn't hear of the verdict till late in the night. She said, "Can you believe it? My phone had stopped working on Thursday. We knew John was going into court, but thought the matter would be closed this time." While Abraham remains tight-lipped about the jail sentence, his friends are concerned about how he has taken the shocking news.

"More than himself, John's concern was for his family and for  youngsters who look up to him as a role model. He is not an irresponsible person. In fact, he's very conscious of his social responsibilities. It's unfair to
punish him for an incident in which he was hurt the most," Basu said.

"We'll fight this together. John is a good human being. I'm not saying this because I am his girlfriend. To his credit, he continued the promotional work for Jhootha Hi Sahi despite the shock," the actress said, breaking down.

"As an individual and   a citizen of this country, I can only say what I feel. And I have to say, with due respect to the legal system, that John doesn't deserve this. Just because he happens to be a star, he's an easy target.
The same offence committed by a non-celebrity would most likely be treated differently. Since he rides a bike, he's very careful about road rules. He doesn't allow any of his friends to drive out on a bike without a helmet. He doesn't bribe the cops, he pays his taxes... what is he being punished for?"

Close friend and director of his forthcoming film, Abbas Tyrewala said, "The best rumour I've heard recently is that John's predicament is a publicity stunt for our film. On Twitter, a woman asked me if AR Rahman's misadventure at the Commonwealth Games was a publicity stunt for  Jhootha Hi Sahi. All I can say is, have a heart, guys. Don't celebrities have feelings?"

Bipasha Basu’s weakness according to John!

Bipasha Basu’s weakness according to John!: For eight years, John Abraham and Bipasha Basu have been committed to each other romantically. There’s apparently a secret behind this long-lasting love.
While promoting his film Jhootha Hi Sahi on the show ‘Emotional Atyachar’ John got candid when asked about the reason behind his rock-steady relationship with Bipasha.

John revealed that whenever he does something wrong, Bipasha keeps forgetting it as she has short memory. He obviously did not go as far as to elaborate what ‘wrongs’ he had done.

John also spoke about the art of lying to make a relationship work. In Jhootha Hi Sahi he plays a character who’s an irrevocable liar.

John and Bipasha began dating in 2002. Since then their relationship has seen rare downs and has mostly been steady.
