Will Salman give Miss World 2017 her acting break?

It has been a norm that soon after winning a national or international beauty pageant, the winner eyes a career in films. From Aishwarya Rai to Sushmita Sen and Priyanka Chopra to Lara Dutt, all former beauty queens entered Bollywood soon after winning the coveted crown.

So, it should not come as a surprise if Miss World 2017, Manushi Chillar, too ventures into films sooner or later. During a recent media interaction in Mumbai, she even expressed her desire to do a film with Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan.


We are not sure whether or not Aamir Khan is aware of Miss World's desire to work with him, but it seems that megastar Salman Khan has made his mind to launch the beauty queen in one of his upcoming projects.

According to a report published on one of the leading entertainment portals, as soon as Manushi won the coveted crown of Miss World 2017, many filmmakers tried to know her thoughts on making a career in films and even offered her roles.

The report further added that superstar Salman Khan, who is busy promoting his upcoming film Tiger Zinda Hai, is also looking forward to launching her in Bollywood. The report quotes a source as saying, “After Manushi won the Miss World 2017 crown, several Bollywood filmmakers wanted to know more about her. After looking at her journey in the competition and her pictures, many filmmakers have sent her offers to be a part of their film. Salman was also impressed and hence, he has also expressed his desire to give Manushi her big Bollywood debut. He might launch her in a SKF Production movie or in one of his own movies. Salman has always launched and promoted new and young talent, for example, Sonakshi Sinha, Athiya Shetty, Daisy Shah, Zareen Khan, Sneha Ullal and several others. In a time when there is a dearth of outside talent in the industry, Salman feels Manushi can be the next big thing and hence, he is keen to have her on board as a talent.”

Let's wait for an official announcement to confirm the news.

Bollywood actor Ananya Panday has just landed a major global milestone; she is now the first Indian to officially represent French fashion house Chanel. At 26, she has carved a niche for herself not just in Indian cinema but also as a rising style icon.

Chris Columbus says Donald Trump’s cameo in Home Alone 2 feels like a mistake that won’t go away

More than three decades after Home Alone 2: Lost in New York hit cinemas, director Chris Columbus is still dealing with the fallout of a seven-second scene that’s aged badly in his eyes. In a recent chat with the San Francisco Chronicle, Columbus opened up about how he regrets including Donald Trump’s blink-and-miss-it appearance in the holiday sequel. “It’s become a curse,” he admitted. “An albatross.”

The cameo in question features Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin McCallister walking into the Plaza Hotel and asking Trump who owned the hotel at the time for directions. That brief exchange has become one of the most talked-about moments from the film, but not for the reasons Columbus would’ve hoped.

Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter faces fourth rape allegation in new lawsuit over alleged STD transmission

Nick Carter, once a teen heartthrob and now a longstanding member of the Backstreet Boys, is again under legal and public scrutiny as a fourth woman steps forward with serious accusations. Laura Penly, now in her late thirties, has filed a lawsuit alleging that Carter assaulted her twice in 2005 and exposed her to sexually transmitted infections, including HPV, an infection she claims led to cervical cancer.

Penly says she first met Carter in 2004 when she was 19 and visited him occasionally in Los Angeles. According to her, the two had consensual sex early on, but things escalated when she made it clear she didn’t want to continue. In her lawsuit, she alleges that Carter ignored her refusal and raped her, refusing to use protection. She also claims he later apologised, only to assault her again on a second visit.

Ellen Pompeo says leaving Grey’s Anatomy makes ‘no sense’ as show tops 1 billion streams

After two decades of playing Dr. Meredith Grey, Ellen Pompeo is still not ready to fully shut the hospital doors behind her. Despite cutting back on screen time in recent seasons, the 55-year-old actor has made it clear she won’t completely sever ties with Grey’s Anatomy. Why? In her words, it just wouldn’t add up; not emotionally, and definitely not financially.

In an interview with a Spanish newspaper, Pompeo said she feels a strong sense of fairness and ownership toward the show. She’s been its face since day one, and with Grey’s Anatomy racking up over a billion streams in 2024 alone, she doesn’t see why she should step away while others continue to profit from the legacy she helped build. “Why would I walk away completely, when the studio and streamers still make money off my work?” she said. “It doesn’t make sense.”
