Imran Khan's honeymoon canceled for work

Imran Khan's honeymoon canceled for work: Work is worship, even when the devotee happens to be a newly-wed guy. Yes, Imran Khan has put his honeymoon with the beautiful wife Avantika Malik on hold because he’s got professional commitments to answer.

The couple got married last month and had a brief celebratory getaway on an island near Bangkok with close family and friends. Thereafter, Imran was supposed to take Avantika for an uninterrupted honeymoon to an exotic island, possibly Hawaii, but the actor’s Bollywood projects have spoiled the fun.

We hear that Imran will now commit himself to the shooting of his two films -- Mere Brother Ki Dulhan with Katrina Kaif and Short Term Shaadi with Kareena Kapoor -- till the middle of this year.

As a consolation he has promised Avantika to make up for the lost honeymoon later on. But we think when it comes to honeymoon, timing is everything. It’s got to be right after the wedding, when a couple is still letting the fact of their matrimony sink in.

Imran Khan and Avantika Marriage: wish a happy married life

Imran Khan and Avantika Marriage: wish a happy married life: Bollywood's chocolate boy Imran Khan married long time girlfriend Avantika Malik in Mumbai on Monday.

The couple is off to Thailand on Tuesday for their honeymoon but not alone - 50 guests will be accompanying the newly-weds.

Imran, who had been dating Avantika for the past eight years, had a registered marriage at his superstar uncle Aamir Khan's house in Pali Hill.

After the wedding, Imran came to his house with his newlywed wife in a black Porsche decorated with white flags with "Just Married" written on them. The house was decorated with flowers and lights

Both wore beautiful traditional wedding costumes - Avantika was wearing a light grey lehenga choli with a red border and gold work and Imran was dressed in a black bandhgala.

"I'm not feeling married right now, it will take some time to sink in. I'm very happy" Imran said.

Asked how he felt after breaking the hearts of his female fans, the 27-year-old said: "I've been in a relationship for the past eight years so the point of breaking hearts doesn't arise. Everyone always knew that I'm dating and was never single, so getting married is nothing new."

Imran's maternal uncle, Aamir was dressed in black sherwani with self-print and a maroon churidar and his wife Kiran Rao went traditional too, donning a purple-gold lehenga choli.

"We are very happy for both of them and all our blessing are with them. I hope they have a happy married life and have lots of kids," said a visibly elated Aamir.

The actor will be hosting a grand reception once the couple returns from their honeymoon. The date has not been fixed, but it is scheduled for the end of this month.

After the wedding, the couple hosted a quiet dinner for close family and friends at Taj Lands End Hotel.

Samaylive team wishes both of them a ‘Happy Married Life’. You can also wish Imran and Avantika with us.

Imran Khan and Avantika Malik to fly off to Thailand

Imran Khan and Avantika Malik to fly off to Thailand: From Friday to Monday, he cancelled all his work appointments to participate in the wedding ceremonies of his nephew Imran Khan and Avantika Malik. But on Tuesday night, when the two families and their closest friends head to Phuket for a three-day celebration, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao will not board the flight. The reason: they need to complete the pending work on their forthcoming film, Dhobi Ghat, which releases on January 21.

The mehendi and music party at the Maliks’ farmhouse on Saturday, the registration of Imran and Avantika’s wedding at the Khan residence — 24, Pali Hill — on Monday and a dinner with both the families at the Taj Land’s End, will be the last of the celebrations Aamir and Kiran will be part of. They will then attend the reception on February 5.

On Tuesday, the newly married couple will fly off to Thailand with a group of 50 people. Apart from their parents, Mansoor Khan with his wife and children, Aamir’s sisters Nikhat and Farhat with their kids, his mother Zeenat Hussain, too are part of this three-day function.

“The families have booked Marriott’s Khao Lak island resort, about an hour away from Phuket, where the celebrations will continue for three days. The couple’s friends will conduct a wedding ceremony where Imran and Avantika will exchange their wedding vows, which they’ve been writing for the last few days,” reveals a friend of the family.

It is believed that Avantika chose this destination for its pristine white sand beach stretches that meet the exquisite azure waters as well as the lush tropical greenery, granite mountains and beautiful waterfalls. Aamir’s official spokesperson confirmed the actor-filmmaker absence saying, “It’s Avantika’s idea and she has done all the bookings and logistic arrangements. While both sides helped put up all the parties, this Khao Lak trip is completely Avantika’s brainchild.”

Though the families were keen to have Aamir and Kiran accompany them, the couple, which is wrapping up the post-production of Dhobi Ghat, opted out with a heavy heart. They were unavailable for comment.

Imran Khan's pre-wedding bash: Deepika Padukone attend the party

Imran Khan's pre-wedding bash: Deepika Padukone attend the party: Bollywood heartthrob Imran Khan, who has kept his pre-wedding rituals a complete family affair, is expected to have his movie "Break-Ke Baad" co-star and friend actress Deepika Padukone to be part of the ceremony.

Imran is tying the knot with his childhood sweetheart Avantika Malik Jan 10.

"Being a Mehndi and Sangeet ceremony, it would be a complete family affair and no Bollywood actors are to be seen today (Saturday). Only Deepika, Imran's close friend, is expected to be part of the ceremony," said a statement by his publicist.

The family, which includes Imran's parents Anil Pal and Nuzhat Khan, uncle actor Aamir Khan with wife Kiran Rao and children Junaid and Ira, among others, would be present during the ceremony.

The ceremony would conclude with a night-long party, which would start at around 9 p.m.

Imran Khan and Avantika's wedding dresses will designs by Karan Johar

Imran Khan and Avantika's wedding dresses will designs by Karan Johar: With just a few days to go for his wedding, Imran Khan is still tied up with the shoot of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. In the meantime, his dulhan-to-be, Avantika has been shouldering the stress of wedding planning. Now, Karan Johar has come to their rescue.

For starters, Karan has taken the responsibility of designing the wedding dresses of both Imran and Avantika. He has gotten in touch with his friends Manish Malhotra and Varun Bahl, both designers, and given them specific instruction about wedding dresses.

We hear that an ashen-orange coloured lehenga is being designed for Avantika. Imran will be given a traditional dress for the Mehendi ceremony on January 8 and a western suit for the wedding on January 10.

Not just for Imran and Avantika, KJo is also designing a dress for Aamir Khan, Imran’s mamujaan, and his son Junaid.

Imran is deeply touched by all the effort that K-Jo is making for their wedding.

Pre-Wedding Bash of Imran Khan: Invitation to Bollywood Celebrities

Pre-Wedding Bash of Imran Khan: Invitation to Bollywood Celebrities: By now, it's common knowledge that Imran Khan will be breaking many hearts by tying the knot with his sweetheart Avantika Malik on Jan 10. While the wedding would be a rather private affair, Imran plans to make-up for it by hosting a pre-wedding bash (mehndi cum reception) on January 8 where he has invited all his friends from the industry.

The guest list for this pre-wedding party is quite a long one and apparently, the buzz is that Imran has specially invited all his female co-stars and most of them have confirmed their presence too.

Imran's first co-star Genelia D'Souza, his Break Ke Baad co-star Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor (with whom he is teaming up in Short Term Shaadi) have all confirmed to attend the party. Deepika, who is currently on a backpacking tour in the UK will cut short her vacation to attend Imran's party in Mumbai. Bebo too will cut short her Swiss holiday with beau Saif to make it in time for her co-star's wedding celebrations.

However, Sonam Kapoor and Katrina Kaif (who've worked with Imran in I Hate Luv Storys and the forthcoming YRF flick Mere Brother Ki Dulhan) would unfortunately miss out on this big bash due to prior work commitments.

Nevertheless, with so many gorgeous ladies in attendance, this one surely seems like one big fat Bollywood bash.

Ranbir Kapoor-Imran Khan-Ranveer Singh now in Akshay's favorite list

Ranbir Kapoor-Imran Khan-Ranveer Singh now in Akshay's favorite list: After completing two successful decades in the Hindi film industry, Akshay Kumar is now definitely into the senior bracket and is counted amongst the top stars of Bollywood, despite the recent setbacks. The actor picked his favourite new generation of actors who he feels come closest to him.

The first name that Akshay chooses does not spring a surprise. It is Ranbir Kapoor, who Akshay feels is doing a fine job. Ranbir is not just a future super star but with super hit films like AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI and RAJNEETI, he is already a force to reckon with and amongst the top five actors of Bollywood.

Then Akki picks up Imran Khan who has already made his presence felt in the industry with hits like JAANE TU...YA JAANE NA and the runaway success I HATE LUV STORYS and is certainly counted amongst the most promising future stars of Bollywood.

The third and last name does surprise and in fact we are sure that the newest entrant in Bollywood, Ranveer Singh, who made such a terrific debut via BAND BAAJA BAARAAT will be thrilled to bits when he comes to know that Akshay finds him very good and is amongst his choice of promising talents.

Imran Khan's wedding Party held on Jan 8

Imran Khan's wedding Party held on Jan 8: Ahead of his wedding on January 10, actor Imran Khan will host a mehendi-cum-reception party to which he has invited all his leading ladies apart from other Bollywood A-listers.

The actresses are really going out of their way to be a part of it except for Katrina and Sonam who have dropped out due to prior work commitments.

Imran is all set to tie the knot with his long-time girlfriend and fiancee Avantika Malik on January 10.

The wedding party has been planned for January 8. Sources close to the actor said Imran wants to invite all his friends to be part of the celebrations.

"The invitations have reached everyone and the guest list is quite a long one. Imran wanted to invite all the leading ladies of his films to be part of the most important day of his life. Unfortunately, Katrina Kaif will shoot with Imran for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan only till January 6. She will not attend his party, as she has some work commitments.

Also Sonam Kapoor, Imran's I Hate Luv Storys co-star, is also flying out of the country to start shooting for Thank You and hence will not attend his party.

However, Genelia D'souza, the actor's first co-star, is in town, so she will attend the party. Kareena Kapoor his co-star in Short Term Shaadi, is currently taking a break from her work schedule to be with Saif but she too will cut short her vacation to attend the bash.

Kareena, who was initially scheduled to return only around January 14, wants to be with Imran on his big day.

Deepika Padukone, Imran's 'Break Ke Baad' co-star, is vacationing in UK and she too will cut short her vacation to attend his party in Mumbai, sources close to the actor said.

Katrina Kaif driving in an open jeep with Imran Khan

Katrina Kaif driving in an open jeep with Imran Khan: It was quite a sight to see Imran Khan at the wheel of an open jeep, driving Katrina Kaif around India Gate.

But they were not on a private excursion, rather shooting the Yashraj film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan in the capital. Despite the chill, Katrina was clad in a short black dress. She stood up on her seat as Imran stepped up on the gas pedal.

The duo has been hasting to complete the film’s shoot before Imran’s wedding in January. However, unexpected rain and thick fog has only delayed the shoot.

That’s certainly not pleasing Katrina who had cancelled her London trip to ring in 2011 with her family just to wrap up the shoot in time. But the weather gods had a different plan.

Kareena Kapoor, Imran Khan next together in 'Stand By Me'

Kareena Kapoor, Imran Khan next together in 'Stand By Me': Written by Shakun Batra, Ayesha DeVitre and directed by Shakun Batra, Stand By Me stars Kareena Kapoor, Imran Khan, Randhir Kapoor, Boman Irani and Ram Kapoor. The Hindi comedy has started shooting in Nevada, USA and judging by Bebo's facial expression the cast and crew are either working early mornings or late nights! Ah the glamorous life of the stars!

Rumors were circulating that Kareena demanded an extraordinary amount of money to shoot the flick but the actress soon debunked those rumors as she told reporters, "Karan [Johar] is family, we don't discuss money or even scripts. He tells me when to start shooting and pays me what I deserve. I certainly hope he gives me this much."

As for the type of clothes Bebo will be sporting in the movie, she makes it clear that the designated designer, Manish Malhotra, will not be giving her any short shorts! "Shorts have been done to death in the movies. And my fans didn't like the Tashan look. So I'll be wearing lots of clothes with Jab We Met kind of a vibe."

So fans will not be able to swoon over Kareena's size zero body in the film that was previously titled Short Term Shaadi. Although the actress has had enough of all the talk about her weight as she says, "This size zero nonsense has been going on for too long. I'm grateful to Shahrukh Khan for taking the mantle away for me. Ever since he got into those body suits for Ra.One, people have been discussing his weight loss rather than mine."

The buzz was that Stand By Me is an adaptation of the Hollywood film What Happens in Vegas starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher, but producer Karan Johar explains that that is not the case, "The movie is not an adaptation. It is an original story written by the writer of the film and Shakun is the director of the film with Imraan and Kareena in it. It is not an adaptation of What happens in Vegas.

Katrina Kaif to give some extra time to Imran Khan’s wedding

Katrina Kaif to give some extra time to Imran Khan’s wedding: Katrina Kaif had no issues working for some extra hours so that her Mere Brother Ki Dulhan co-star Imran Khan can have a tension-free wedding. She is also postponing her Christmas holiday with her family.

Marriage happens once (mostly) and that’s why Kat is so helpful to Imran.

While talking to a tabloid the actress reveals, “Imran is a really cool guy. I don’t mind working extra-time to wrap up our schedule in time for his wedding. Shootings will go on. Imran’s wedding will happen only once.”

Katrina also has Tees Maar Khan release lined up for December’s last week and she is busy visiting places for its promotion, so the actress did not mind missing her holiday this year. Every year Kat flies off to London to be with her mother and siblings to celebrate Christmas; that’s like a ritual for the lady and she doesn’t like to skip it, but she made an exception for Imran and Tees Maar Khan this year.

Imran Khan’s wedding is on January 8 and before that Kat has to complete the schedule; she will join her family later, but has to spend Christmas working.
