Now it’s official that Sachin Tendulkar is all set to call it a day from the world of cricket after playing his 200th Test match against West Indies. Many are emotional after listening to this, and are expressing their emotions via various medium.

Recently it was Amitabh Bachchan, who has always supported Sachin during his heydays as well as bad days, said that the news of the latter’s retirement came as a shock for him. "I heard the news and I was shocked," Big B said on the occasion of his 71st birthday.

"Sachin is the heart of cricket. He is a phenomenal athlete. He has not just excelled himself in cricket, but he is also a symbol of great excellence. It's unimaginable to see him retire. Cricket will not be the same without Sachin," said Amitabh.

Before Amitabh, Shah Rukh Khan had always made his feeling known on twitter as he spoke about Sachin’s retirement. Shah Rukh said, "O no! Suddenly realised the meaning of addiction. Mine was the Master. I am going thru cold turkey. To see cricket without Sachin? Unbearable."

Well, as they say all good things come to end, same is with the Indian batting maestro. Nevertheless, he will always be remembered!

Stardom is easier to get to your head, especially if you are Deepika Padukone! But surprisingly, the reigning beauty of Bollywood has no airs about being the superstar she is, and I say this being an eye-witness.

Coming from a non-filmy background, Deepika has come a long way and is undoubtedly the top Bollywood actress, currently. The actor has created a niche for herself with her choice of diverse roles and her acting caliber since her very debut with Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om in 2007. There has been no looking back for the actor ever since, as she has worked with the who’s who of Bollywood and will be seen opposite the superstar Rajinikanth in Kochadaiyyan. Deepika is also known to share a great connect with her fans. The actor has a strong online presence with about 4.5 million fans on Facebook and 4.2 million followers on Twitter which she utilizes to be in touch with her fans on a regular basis.

What makes Deepika so charming is that she appears to be her real self even with her fans. I have met the actor twice and I was star stuck with her grace and beauty. Realizing that I was in awe with her in our very first encounter, Deepika stopped her security and agreed to take a picture with me. The second time around, my meeting with Deepika was again a memorable one. To my surprise, the actor actually recognized me and we exchanged pleasantries.

Deepika carries herself with a certain poise and grace that reminds me of the yesteryears actresses, who enticed the audience with the sheer strength of their performance, and not plastic smiles!

Comedy Nights with Kapil, produced and hosted by Kapil Sharma, is one of the most popular shows on Indian TV and its TRP topped the charts. Many well known celebrities like Shahrukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor and others have appeared on the show to promote their film.

As per the latest TRP records, the show has once again topped the non-fiction charts and has surged ahead of Salman Khan's TV show Bigg Boss 7. Although all eyes were glued to TV screens as Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was returning with season 7 of controversial reality show Bigg Boss, but it seems Kapil Sharma’s stints have overshadowed Salman's charm with Comedy Nights with Kapil.

We must say Kapil is blessed with the talent of comedy and there is not an iota of doubt that he is one of the most-hard working performers in the television industry today. He is responsible for all your hearty laughs. Even, the new synonymous to laughter is leading ahead of Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati.

As per the Gross TVT's of Week 38, Comedy Nights with Kapil recorded 7244, Kaun Banega Crorepati- 6134 and Bigg Boss 7 got 5456.

As we all know, the show has recently suffered a huge loss, when fire broke on the sets of the comedy show causing huge loss. However, nothing looks like stopping the comic actor and producer of CNWK Kapil Sharma from reaching new heights.

Way to go Kapil!

I am glad I've Shah Rukh in Chennai Express, avers Deepika Padukone!

Awaiting the release of her film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, directed by Ayan Mukerji, actress Deepika Padukone is happy to team up with Shah Rukh Khan in Chennai Express.

This is the second time the two have teamed up as earlier in 2007 Deepika made her debut in Bollywood opposite SRK with Om Shanti Om and says now she interacts with him more freely and they share a friendly equation.

Quizzed how it was to work with SRK for the second time, she said, “You know, when we did Om Shanti Om, I was a newcomer, nervous and awkward. Today, I can speak to him much more freely. Today, we share a friendly equation. Shah Rukh is a sport. Unfortunately, a lot of people don`t get his sense of humour. Shooting with him is a breeze. He lightens the atmosphere and makes everything so easy.”

On whether she faces him more confidently this time, Deepika said, “You know, unlike our other film together where there was a large cast, in Chennai Express there is an added pressure because it’s a romantic comedy where the focus throughout is on Shah Rukh and me. For two actors to carry off a comedy on their shoulders is not easy. I am glad I’ve Shah Rukh in Chennai Express to make sure I don’t flounder.”

Her film YJHD also stars Ranbir Kapoor, Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur. It releases this Friday!
