Saif Ali Khan hints at out of court settlement following hotel brawl

The Bollywood actor, Saif Ali Khan, hinted that he is hoping to settle his recent dispute with a South African businessman out of court after the two men both lodged complaints with the police accusing each other of physical assault.

The well known actor hit the headlines last week after he was involved in an altercation with businessman, Iqbal Sharma, at the Taj Palace Restaurant in Mumbai; immediately after the fight Khan insisted that he had acted in self defence.

This week however, the Bollywood star spoke out to publically apologise for the incident saying, “I would like to apologise for what happened and for what everyone saw.” Saif Ali Khan said he is “in talks” with Mr Sharma, who has since returned to South Africa to attend to his business affairs, adding that he hopes to “sort it out amongst ourselves more constructively.”

A source close to the star claims Khan is keen to draw a line under the whole incident and dispel any negative publicity ahead of the release of his eagerly anticipated movie, Agent Vinod, which is due out on March 23rd. The movie has been produced by Khan, and also stars the Bollywood actor in the title role opposite his real life girlfriend, Kareena Kapoor.

The 41-year-old actor has denied that the hotel brawl as a publicity stunt ahead of the release of Agent Vinod, stressing that his movie doesn’t need to resort to cheap tricks for self promotion.

Bhangra Showdown issues Leicester University with 5 year ban for breaking rules

Bhangra Showdown, the largest inter-university bhangra group competition in the UK, has issued students from the University of Leicester with a 5 year ban on entering the contest after three of the contestants who took part in the 2012 event were found to not be students at the university which meant they were not eligible to compete.

The Bhangra Showdown have issued an official statement in which they fully outline the situation which was presented to them when their suspicions were raised over the legitimacy of three of the Leicester University’s team members eligibility to perform in the contest.

The three Leicester group members were unable to produce valid email addresses prior to the event to prove they were students and so the group were presented with a choice, to either take a 15 point deduction, or to perform at the show as an exhibition act. However the Leicester team chose to leave all together, which the competition organisers felt was a great shame as it would have meant those who had travelled to support the team would be left disappointed.

At this point, all choreographers from the competing teams were consulted and it was agreed that Leicester would compete, however if they were unable to present evidence to show that the three questionable members of the Leicester team were in fact students by 1pm on Tuesday February 14th, then they would have 15 points deducted. The team members failed to submit proof, and consequently, their 15 points have been deducted and the University has been banned from entering the Bhangra Showdown for the next 5 years.

The competition organisers say the ban is necessary to “maintain the principles and integrity of the show” adding that “stringent identity checks” will be implemented next year to ensure ineligible contestants to do slip through the net and are allowed to compete in the competition again.

Jay Sean Tweets from set of his new music video shoot

While the R&B hitmaker, Jay Sean, has remained curiously quiet of late, there’s a suggestion that won’t be the case for long as the singer tweeted from the set of his recent music video shoot, implying that a new single release might be just around the corner.

Jay Sean shared a picture from his high-budget video shoot with his fans on Twitter. The picture shows the Down singer standing on top of a luxurious yacht, looking cool in shades and a simple shirt with a clear blue sky as the backdrop – if this picture is anything to go by, the video is set to be spectacular!

Cash Money Records boss and rapper, Birdman, is believed to be making an appearance in the music video, along with at least five super cars and of course, the lavish yacht which Jay gave us a sneak preview of.

It’s been reported that the new single is titled I’m All Yours, and will be released off Jay Sean’s new album. While it was widely believed that Jay’s new album would be titled Freeze Time, there’s been rumours that this name has been scrapped and the singer is in talks to rename the new record.

Are you excited about the new single from Jay Sean? Will you be buying the new album when it comes out? Let us know your thoughts by dropping us a comment below.

Bhangra singer Jaz Dhami plans new single with Eren E

If you’ve been pining for bhangra singer Jaz Dhami of late, then here’s some good news for you and all of the UK based singer’s fans. After almost a year out of the limelight, 25-year-old Jaz is due to make his musical comeback in 2012 with the release of a brand new club track produced by a well known record maker.

Jaz Dhami hasn’t released a single since last January when Tere Naal, produced by DJ Harvey, became a hit for the vocalist from Birmingham. However the rest of 2011 passed without as much as a hint of a new record from the popular singer.

That is all about to change in 2012 as Jaz Dhami has reportedly been hard at work putting in the hours on his second album which will be the follow up to his debut record, JD released in 2009. Teke Wali was one of the biggest hits to come off Jaz’s debut album and the singer will be hoping to emulate its success with the first release off what is tipped to be his next album.

There had been rumours that Jaz Dhami was working with music producer, Eren E, who is famed for producing the smash hit record, Amplifier, for Imran Khan. Jaz confirmed his involvement with the hitmaker himself by writing on Twitter recently, “Touchdown in Amsterdam, here to do some work with Eren E.”

The new track from Jaz Dhami in association with Eren E is still unnamed at present, however it’s believed to be an up-tempo club track and due for release in early 2012.

Shilpa Shetty shows off her growing baby bump for first time

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty made her first public appearance last week since announcing her pregnancy. The businesswoman was accompanied by her husband, Raj Kundra, on Thursday night when the pair attended a pre- Lohri party hosted by Shilpa’s friend and business partner, Kiran Bawa.

The former Celebrity Big Brother winner has kept a low profile for the last four weeks since announcing she is expecting her first child with husband Raj this summer. Shilpa hasn’t let pregnancy get in the way of her style as the former actress looked as stylish as ever when she arrived at the party in Mumbai wearing a flowing anarkali set with her baby bump clearly visible under the floor length gown.

A source close to the couple revealed that Shilpa and Raj decided to delay announcing the pregnancy for as long as possible after the actress suffered a miscarriage early last year. Understandably, the couple wanted to wait until after the pregnancy had progressed significantly before revealing the news of their forthcoming arrival publically.

In the official announcement before Christmas, Shilpa revealed the exciting news writing; “YES’ an addition to our family is our confirmation to all queries :) We seek blessings from all in this very beautiful phase of our lives.”

According to friends of the 36-year-old actress, Shilpa Shetty is very much enjoying being pregnant and eating healthily to ensure the pregnancy progresses smoothly.
