Here are a few top Bollywood buzz:
Saif Ali Khan on son Taimur's name controversy
Saif Ali Khan opens up about the controversy over naming his son Taimur, which broke out in mid-December. In an interview with the Times of India, Saif said that people are free to say whatever they want to. He and Kareena liked the name and said that they are also aware of the heritage of the Turkish ruler.
While the king was Timur, their child's name is Taimur, an ancient Persian name that means iron. "Social media just makes it clear what everybody is thinking in a sense. There is a lot of anonymity from the side of the people who are doing the talking so they feel free to say whatever they like, and sometimes they get very nasty... And that's fine. It doesn't mean that twenty, thirty or forty years ago people weren't thinking similar things but maybe they did not have an outlet then," the Nawab said.

Shakun will do the recce next week and zero in on the location."

Deepika Padukone loses endorsement deal
Deepika Padukone is undoubtedly one of most popular Bollywood actresses and now with her Hollywood debut film xXx: Return of Xander Cage doing well at the Indian box office, the actress has surely become one of the most sought after actresses. With her reaching new heights, Deepika has apparently raised her fee, which however resulted in her losing a brand endorsement contract. According to reports, a brand that Deepika had been endorsing for the past three years, dropped her when she increased her price without even initiating a negotiation.
