Happy Birthday Ekta Kapoor! Most Powerful Woman in the Industry!

You may say Farah or Zoya has more power, and maybe if you just look at the films they produced, okay.  But if you look at all the stars and stories and production changes Ekta has done through film AND television, there is no contest.  So, for her birthday, here are 18 reasons I love you, one for every hundred episodes produced of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (1833 in total).

Combined Post: Happy Birthday Madhavan and Happy Baby Ritiesh and Genelia!!!

Okay, so I almost missed Maddy’s birthday this year, but the nice thing is, birthdays come every year, so I can put up a bigger and better post next year.  And Ritiesh and Genelia’s new little baby also came along today (that’s his tiny big brother in the header image), so I’m going to make Maddy share with them.

Late AbRam Birthday Post: Is He A Cute 3 Year Old, or THE CUTEST Three Year Old

AbRam is getting so big!  Well, big in terms of age, he is still a little pocket-sized nubbin in terms of mass.  He turned 3 a few days ago, and I am finally getting around to doing a very abbreviated post about it.  We don’t have many AbRam facts, or official videos, but we do have some really cute candid things.  So I am putting up a tiny little post to match his tiny little body.

Happy Birthday Varun Dhawan! Here’s Why I Think You Could Be the Next Shahrukh!

Yeah, it’s Varun Dhawan’s birthday!  He is now 29.  Oh my God, I’m older than Varun Dhawan!  That’s so weird!  Anyway, I’m glad he’s young, because it feels like he could be the next big thing maybe, and you need to be young to be able to do that (poor Shahid, missed his window).

Happy Aamir Day! (First post of many)

HAPPY AAMIR DAY!!!  I will be putting up a “Why I love Aamir” post later today, and sometime tomorrow I will try to summarize all the many many Aamir Day news items.  But first, let us all take a moment to applaud how much better he looks at 51 than he did at 50.  And how much better he looks every single day of his life, than he does in the picture at the head of this post.

Happy Martin Luther King Day (a day late): Warning! Downer post!

Happy Day After Martin Luther King Day!  I celebrated Javed’s day a day late, and now I am celebrating Martin’s day a day late too.

To celebrate, I’m going to post some of the protest and social justice songs that have made their way from south asia to the internet.  Brace yourself, they are all really good and really inspiring.  By the end, you will be in tears and also angry about the state of the world.   The proper holiday spirit!  At least, for this holiday.

(Or, you can skip this post and only read the fun stuff, I won’t judge.  I’m actually expecting almost no views, but I still felt like I should put it up.)

Happy Birthday Farah Khan! Congrats to the most successful woman in film!

So, I found out through Amitji’s twitter that yesterday was Farah Khan’s birthday!  And I MISSED IT!!!  This is horrible!  I feel like I should airmail her a birthday cake or something.

Well, instead, I will write an article about why she is so awesome.  Not 50 reasons, like I did for Salman, but just 21.  So she can pretend she is still younger than Shahrukh.  (Apparently, it is also her cousin Farhan’s birthday, and all I have to say to him is WHERE IS DON 3?!?!?!?)
