Fifth Harmony Features In Seventeen June/July 2015

It’s no secret that celebrities struggle with insecurities just like everyone else, and the ladies of Fifth Harmony are opening up about their own issues in the June/July 2015 issue of Seventeen magazine.

Camila Cabello shares, "Growing up, I was extremely shy. When I started at a new school, I didn't even know who to sit with at lunch. I was walking around the hallways, trying to act like I had somewhere to go. It felt like I was invisible. Singing has made me feel like I fit in. I'm so much more comfortable being myself now."

Meanwhile, Ally Brooke confesses, "I used to be really scared to voice my opinion, whether it was with the other girls or just about an outfit I didn't like. I kept worrying what other people would think of me if they didn't agree. But I learned that I was just hurting myself. I live by the quote 'Speak even if your voice shakes.'"

As for body image, Dinah Jane offers, "Everyone knows I'm the thick girl. I used to be so sad about it, but being Polynesian, we're naturally thick-boned. I realized it was like I was ashamed of my culture and needed to stop bringing myself down."

In a statement to a Bengali daily, Ranbir Kapoor said, "This year both of us are extremely busy, so there won’t be any time for the marriage. We have planned to tie the knot by the end of next year. Both of us have agreed on that."

While they were the centre of all speculation for a very long time, Ranbir and Katrina are now comfortable with the relationship being public. He added, "Both of us are sure about our relationship and if we don’t open about it now, it would be showing disrespect to the relationship. I have grown up in a family where film is everything. So, I know the importance of gossip and my funda is simple. When there is gossip, try not to react and it is advisable not to think too much about yourself."

Talking about marriage, the actor said, "I am 33 now and it is time I have my family. Even Katrina wants that."

We're glad that the two have decided to take the next step and we can't wait for the big wedding in 2016.

Is Sooraj Barjatya Angry With Sonam Kapoor?

Sonam Kapoor will be seen in a traditional avatar in Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming family drama Prem Ratan Dhan Payo opposite Salman Khan. The actress and fashion icon has reportedly irked her director by doing a bold photoshoot for the April cover ofVogue India.

Apparently, Sooraj has asked Sonam to steer clear of such pictures till the movie’s release as he feels that this would hamper the image of his film. A source adds, "Sooraj was quite upset by Sonam’s ultra-modern avatar on the cover which borders on risqué. In Prem Ratan…, the girl she plays is a far cry from the supreme seductress on the latest cover. He feels this sort of image will jeopardise her on-screen persona in the film."

Barjatya’s heroines like Madhuri Dixit, Karisma Kapoor and even Amrita Rao have always had very simple clothes and have been portrayed in a very respectable light.

A mixed bag for Bollywood

After a slump at the box office last week, a number films take to screen today – sci-fi thriller, Mr. X, the offbeat drama Margarita, With A Straw and National Award winning Marathi film, Court, biography Nanak Shah Fakir, thriller NH-8 – Road to Nidhivan and the romantic drama, Ek Adbhut Dakshina…Gurudakshina.

Mr. X is expected to have the numbers on its side, with a wide release on over 2000 screens. But the film has opened to poor numbers of just 10% occupancies and 15% in mass centers such as Indore and Kanpur. With unfavourable reviews pouring in, the film may struggle to hit Rs. 5 crore on its first day.

Margarita With A Straw, a film that has done well at international festivals, gets a niche release today but has opened to negligible numbers. But the film’s box office collections depend solely on word of mouth and good reviews, both of which seem to be coming its way. Marathi film Court also shares the same fate.

The remaining films are a complete washout at the box office and are unlikely to make an impact.

Meanwhile, at the end of the first week, Sunny Leone starrer, Ek Paheli Leela managed to generate revenue through the week. Though the film dropped drastically by 60% on Monday, collecting only Rs. 2.18 crore, it grew on Tuesday, collecting Rs. 2.46 crore. The film added Rs. 2.07 crore on Wednesday and Rs. 1.72 crore on Thursday.

Ek Paheli Leela closed its first week at Rs. 24.28 crore, just shy of the predicted lifetime figure of Rs. 25 crore. If the new releases do not make a significant impact, the film might stand a chance to add to its collections.
