Apart from doing movies, partying and other social activities, another factor which is common among bollywood celebrities is blogging. After Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgan, actress and anchor Pooja Bedi has made her foray into the world of blogging.

Aishwarya didn't loose nakshatra's endorsement to Katrina: Abhishek Bacchan

Abhishek Bacchan has trashed the rumours about his wife Aishwarya Rai that she is losing out the Nakshatra diamond jewellery endorsement to Katrina Kaif. Addressing media persons on the sidelines of the Omega Olympics Evening he explains, "Nakshatra was discontinued by Aishwarya. It is false news that she lost out the endorsement to Katrina Kaif. Aishwarya had some conditions and the company did not come to terms with this, so she called it off.”

The actor flew in for the event from San Francisco, where he is busy with the “Unforgettable” tour.

Salman's blog explain his much hyped spat with SRK

Actor-turned- anchor, Salman Khan writes candidly about his spat with Shahrukh Khan. Needless to explain that Sallu and Sharukh have some fight on Katrina's 24th birthday bash. Lets see what exactly Salman Khan quoted in his blog, “Ha ha ha... I told you...didn’t I? Ki Farak Painda Hai (How does it matter)...You keep whacking a stick in water, what will happen to the water? Nothing. If the person doing this does not know that, then what does one do? Laugh because it’s funny or feel sad because it’s sad?”

The expulsion of Katrina Kaif from Shah Rukh’s Temptation Reloaded Tour itself explains the level of sourness in Sallu-Shahrukh's friendship. Hope that we will see both the stars in coming time.
