Zor se Bol

Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn and Karan Johar are all set to light up Diwali this Friday with loved ones.

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to try his luck at cards this Diwali as he plans to play ‘teen patti’. “In keeping with tradition, cards shall be played as a ‘shagun’ and winnings and loss at them shall be taken as an indicator how well, or not so well the year shall be financially,” he posted on his blog. The 68-year-old rues that he loses the game frequently. “I lose most of the time, so my funds and financing are always on trial throughout the day and year,” he added.

Bipasha Basu: “I did go shopping for candles and diyas for my house and for John [Abraham]. But I am upset that I won’t be in India during the festival. I will be in Brisbane for the initial rehearsals of Singularity. I am a very occasion-oriented girl and I like being home during festivals.”
