This is a guide for all those who did not understand the concept of ‘Roast’ and were left second guessing about AIB’s recent video!

It has been one hellova roller coaster ride for Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Karan Johar and the AIB comedians. As we all know, the names mentioned were seen in a video called the AIB Knockout which became a rage post its release. The video has landed itself in a soup, following a controversy over the “vulgar content” it put forth. And the reactions the video received were on two extremes. While some literally went ROFL, there were others who missed the basic point of it all; probably because not many are familiar with the the concept of a Celebrity Roast.

So for all those who were left bewildered, here’s a breakdown of the concept of a Roast…

What is a roast?

If Chicken is the first thing that comes to your mind on hearing ‘Roast’, you’ve drawn a perfect analogy. The only difference being that in case of a comedy roast, it is a person who’s being grilled with some rather offensive humour.

A roast is essentially a mockery of the word ‘Toast.’ When you raise a toast to someone, everyone present in the praises the person and cheers for him, but in case of a roast, everyone mocks the person; of course with his consent. Though the concept is very common in the west, it was introduced in India for the very first time by AIB in their show AIB Knockout.

What kind of jokes do they crack in a roast?

We all have our binge session with friends, two beers in one hand each. All the MC, BC, and C words come flying out of our mouth don’t they? Well a roast is JUST THAT, only on a public platform.

If you expect a roast to be all hunky dory with rainbows and butterflies, you are in for a rather rude shock. A roast is exactly opposite of what they call ‘politically correct.’ It is intentionally offensive, mean and personal. The puns and one liners are mostly aimed at the individual’s personal incidents, physical appearance, profession or reputation. The japes can also be hinted at stereotypes prevailing in our society regarding homosexuality, racism, feminism etc. The key to learn here is, it’s all meant in pure jest and nothing beyond that! It is all below the belt, but that is what is supposed to make it funny.

Does one get an invite to get roasted?

Well it all depends from one celebrity to another. In the west, celebrities like James Franco and Charlie Sheen personally asked to be roasted. In Bollywood, however, Ranveer and Arjun were approached by the AIB comedians, to take part in the roast session. The AIB Knockout video saw the two actors being the butt of some hilarious jokes and the scene was witnessed by leading ladies of B-town like Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone and Sonakshi Sinha.

Who gets to roast whom?

Every celebrity has a bunch of panelists who get to roast him or her. But the celebrity gets to do the same to them. It is basically a tit for tat scenario where everyone gets to roast one another and the jokes aren’t restricted to the celebrity per say. The AIB Knockout video had AIB comedians like Rohan Joshi, Tanmay Bhatt, Abish Matthew and Gursimran Khamba on the panel. They were joined by Roadies fame Ragu Ram and popular film critique Rajeev Masand as well.

Is it scripted or impromptu?

For the most part, a roast session is purely scripted. Not only is the celebrity aware of the kind of humour which will be directed his way but also is learned about the panelists who will be taking his/her case. A roast does have its impromptu bits in between which make it even more believable. So for those who were disappointed by it being ‘staged,’ well folks it was MEANT to be that way!

Well these were all the main points to know about before you witness anyone’s Roast. In case you still have a doubt or two about.

Well, like every year this year is no different on Bigg Boss

Gautam Gulati and Karishma Tanna are the front runners in the race for Bigg Boss 8 title. So, everybody who is watching Bigg Boss Halla Bol has placed bets either on Daindra Soares buddy or then Upen Patel lover. But a fair feathered friend tells us that Colors has already prepared for the winning moment of these two contestants. 

Yes, according to the buzz from Lonavala the channel has already cut winning promos for Bigg Boss this year featuring Karishma and Gautam. Now that these are the two strongest contenders we can’t wait to find out who will pick the Rs 50 lakh cheque on January 31 on the Grand Finale.

Considering the previous track records of Gauahar Khan and Shweta Tiwari, we will not be surprised if Karishma Tanna walks away as the new winner. However, withSalman Khan having declared Gautam as the winner he seems like the current favourite amongst the public.

Who amongst these two will walk away with the prize money and the title of Bigg Boss Halla Bol Grand Finale?

Los Angeles, Jan 10: HBO’s hit series “Game of Thrones” season 5 will premiere April 12. The channel made the announcement Thursday, also revealing that “Silicon Valley” and “VEEP” will also both air on the same day, reports people.com.

The network even released a few seconds of footage from the highly anticipated upcoming season of “Game Of Thrones” in a teaser last week. ”Game of Thrones” fans can also bide their time by re-experiencing all the carnage and chaos of the Five Kingdoms on the big screen.

English actress, Maisie Williams, best known for her role in the HBO television series The Game of Thronescelebrates her 16th birthday today. Born on 15 April, 1997 in Bristol, South West London, Williams is seen playing the role of Arya Stark, a wild – spirited independent young girl belonging to the Stark family. Take a look at some of the most stunning scenes (spoiler alert!) that Arya Stark shares with other characters within a span of the four seasons that have premiered till date:-

Season 4, episode 1: Two Swords

Season 4 begins on a very cold note as the shadow of the red wedding still lies heavily on the minds of most of the characters. Torn and shattered, Arya Stark is still under the captive of the Hound. Both somehow land up in a situation where they are forced to confront some of their old enemies. They break into a fight where the Hound is pinned down against the ground, almost on the verge of being defeated. This is where Arya finally steps up to get her revenge and kills Polliver in the most brutal way possible: by reciting the words he said to Lommy before killing him and she slowly slides the sword through his neck. This scene truly marks the beginning of the violence and the thirst for vengeance that Arya has since so long been waiting for.

All the time spent between Tywin Lannister and Arya Stark

Arya Stark and Tywin Lannister bond over the second season of Game of Thrones as Arya becomes Tywin’s cupbearer. Though not fully aware of Arya’s identity, Tywin can still see through her, aware of the fact that she is no mere commoner (as she pretends to be). They develop an immediate mutual respect for each other. Arya finds someone who would listen to her speak about her emotions and goals of her life, making Tywin the first person she would talk to after her Father’s death. Tywin constantly praises her for her sharpness and ambitions. It is quite a pleasure to watch both of them play with words and lead us through a rather, disappointing second season.

Season 1, episode 2: Lord Snow

A particularly memorable scene in this episode is when Arya confronts a list of arraying questions with his father, Eddard Stark. Arya seems to be going through so many emotions at the same time- anger towards Sansa and Joffery, guilt and sorrow over the death of her friend, scepticism about her father’s decisions. She finally silences her father by asking him a dime of a question when he speaks to her regarding Sansa and Joffery’s wedding.

Williams has wonderfully carried out the role of Arya Stark, reflecting just the right amount of temperament while also retaining the childlike qualities. She has earned several awards for her role in the fantasy drama series, Game of Thrones and is set to act in the British film, The Falling. Quite opposite of the kind of character she plays on screen, she still doesn’t fail to charm us all.

Miranda might have hung up her Angel wings, but that doesn’t mean her days of posing in little lingerie are behind her! In fact, the model, (and her mounds!), look better than ever as she strips down for Wonderbra.

What would the 90s be without the Wonderbra sensation? Model Eva Herzigovaepitomized the worldwide Wonderbra domination with her 1994 campaign that featured the Czech model in a black bra and matching underwear next to the slogan: “Hello Boys” — and now Miranda Kerr, 31, is stripping down for the brand, filling the role, (and cups), for Wonderbra! The Aussie model looks sexy and confident, all while stripping down and showing off the brand’s latest line — and it is clearly no surprise! After all, Miranda was a Victoria’s Secret Angel for six years, coupled with the fact that she recently admitted that she loves being naked.

Miranda Kerr’s Wonderbra Campaign — Pics As She Poses In Lingerie For New Shoot:

Miranda poses seductively wearing nothing more than bras, matching underwear and a pair of stilettos. In one shot, the model dons a plunging white jumpsuit that leaves nothing to the imagination on top, letting her black bra, (and cleavage), show right through. With her glossy brown hair in sexy, tousled curls, Miranda’s beauty looks vary from each shot — when she dons a black bra she shows off a more natural lip, compared to her pretty pink pout that accompanied her peach lingerie set. From sweet to sexy, Miranda looks better than ever — and her toned figure and ample cleavage definitely caught our attention.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner — and Miranda is serving up some sexy inspiration for the romantic celebration. What do you think? Are you excited to see Miranda strip down again and pose in lingerie looks?

While I think she looks amazing, part of me wishes they recreated Eva’s sexy ad from the 90s. Sure, my 90s obsession might be getting the best of me, but after seeing the Biebs bring Mark Wahlberg‘s 1992 Calvin Klein campaign back to life, I’m not going to abandon all hope. Am I the only one suffering from some nostalgia here?

The incestuous Lannister siblings continue their awkward relationship as the search for Tyrion goes on after he killed Tywin Lannister and flees with Lord Varys from King’s Landing when the bells start tolling. “There’s no justice in the world, not unless we make it”. Sansa Stark’s new guardian marks these words to avenge her family from the Lannisters who killed her father and resulted in the killing of his family with just Arya Stark and Ned Stark’s bastard son, John Snow left at The Wall. The Lannisters were the main reason for the near end of the Stark name and now John Snow is the only one who can technically take the Stark name forward.

The youngest of the Lannisters becomes King at King’s Landing and blood is splattered. The wildlings have a new uprising against The Watch on The Wall of ice that protects the Seven Kingdoms from the White Walkers and the Wildlings.

Daenerys Targaryen, the former Khaleesi, vows to break all the rules set to take the iron throne and take what is rightfully her’s with the help of her dragons who have grown to their full size and capacity despite being locked away. The one dragon that flew away may have been lost but she still has two more dragons to claim her right to the throne with might if the bent rules forbid her from taking King’s Landing.

Melisandre is still trying to use the light of fire to guide the dark lonely path to get her master the throne who is crushed after a failed attempt to overpower the Lannisters at King’s Landing. The stage is set and Season 5 of Game of Thrones airs on April 12th, 2015. Watch the trailer here.

Sonakshi Sinha hinted that the Bigg Boss 8 Halla Bol winner will be signing Bollywood offers as soon as he steps out of the reality show. So, we decided to find out who would he look best opposite?

Gautam Gulati is ready for Bollywood. From flaunting his hot body to dancing, singing and romancing the cameras, this dude has given an audition to millions who were watching. His victory is a confirmation that the audience loved him. If he was to be roped in by a big banner film, who would make a perfect match for him? Read on to find out….

Alia Bhatt: This petite beauty is game for hatke roles. Unlike some of her seniors who would have chosen only an A-lister, Alia has romanced Randeep Hooda in Highway. Besides, GG and Bhatt gal would compliment each other well and make good jodi. The next Chetan Bhagat book adaptation on 70mm could feature this hot pair, right?

Shraddha Kapoor: The Ek Villain heroine had insisted that she wants to work only with the younger lot. Her statement had miffed Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham after she turned down a chance to romance them. Shraddha has had successful pairings opposite heroes of her generation Sidharth Malhotra and Aditya Roy Kapur. With Gautam being just 27, we’re sure the Kapoor gal wouldn’t mind romancing him. After all both of them have a lot in common. They can compete for the Ms/Mr goody two shoes title.

Kriti Sanon: The Heropanti heroine’s pairing with dashing Tiger Shroff was loved by fans. The actress who has worked down South created quite a sensation with her Bollywood debut too. This leggy lass would be a good competition to Gulati in the looks department. According to us, together they will scorch the silver screen.

Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan – Bollywood actors who will rock The Roast!

0

Post AIB Knockout – The Roast of Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor, we were left pondering on who else in tinsel town would be game for this off beat, politically incorrect show… And here are a few of them we think can rock The Roast…

All India Bakchod can send us a thank you note later. After all they did manage to tickle our funny bone and present to us an all new fun side of Bollywood. So, we decided to help them out with suggestions for their next high voltage live show. Yes, we have a list of must haves on the AIB Roast that they can refer to when they plan their next show. Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and a few more who would do complete justice to their controversial chat.

SRK: King Khan’s sense of humour is legendary. This witty actor has miffed many and managed to make some mean jokes look cool. We simply love Shah Rukh‘s funny side. He can be offensive and yet palatable. If he was to be roasted the panel would not just have aa great time, but should be ready to take on some below the belt wisecracks.

Alia Bhatt: At Ranveer and Karan Johar’s Roast, the 2 States heroine was also grilled. We must admit she took quite a few punches on her chin with a smile. And after watching her at the event and her Genius Of The Year video that went viral on YouTube we’re of the opinion that she will not only enjoy but also rock the roast!

Varun Dhawan: From Karan Johar’s one student to the other; VD is one of the few B-towners who came out and appreciated the AIB Knockout. We hear he seemed to enjoy it sooo much that he’s dying to do it himself. We love the idea!

Riteish Deshmukh: He’s the King of comedy. Not just on silver screen, but on stage and in real life too RD has a funny side. No wonder then that he’s such a fabulous host. With Riteish on stage, we can expect some cool comebacks too.

Uday Chopra and Nargis Fakhri: Well, together or not this duo will make the perfect Roast contestants. While Nargis has a great sense of humour, which is visible in her Twitter posts, Uday too is wacky. And we’re sure the two will be the panel’s delight.

Saif Ali Khan: The Nawab of Pataudi like Riteish has a penchant for romcoms. Those in his close circles swear that he has a wicked sense of humour. This Cool Khan apart from his hosting stint has given us a sneak peek of his fun side on Karan’s popular chat show Koffee with Karan. With him being a participant in the Roast we can expect a laughathon. And if Saif and SRK come together, then we will not be surprised if their episode will break the internet!

Varun Dhawan opened up in an interview recently about how his upcoming film changed a lot in his personal relationships…

Varun Dhawan seems like an upbeat actor who loves playing the happy guy on screen. But in a recent interview to DNA, he revealed that he had got sick of playing happy characters in films and that Badlapur gave him a release where he could portray darker emotions. It would be wrong to assume that Badlapur didn’t affect Varun after the cameras would stop rolling. Even when Varun would stop shooting, he would continue thinking about Raghu, his character in Badlapur. Consequently, that changed a lot in his personal life as well.

Talking about how the Sriram Raghavan film affected his relationships Varun said, “That phase (of shooting Badlapur) changed my friendship and equation with everyone, not just Alia. That is the price I had to pay to do this film. I actually have lost touch with lot of my school friends. I missed a close friend’s wedding and he really got upset.. There have been many casualties in terms of my personal relationships with a lot of people. Now, obviously, people who are from the industry will speak more about it, but my actual closest friends are not from the industry. So I will mend those relationships first and then think about the others. I don’t think anyone is upset with me and even if they are they should go watch Badlapur!”

At the Life OK Screen Awards recently, Varun gave Alia the cold shoulder and went up to her current flame Sidharth Malhotra to hug and greet him instead. Post their break-up, Alia and Varun haven’t exactly been on good terms with each other. About the episode, Varun revealed, “I was on the stage, I noticed Sidharth because clearly he’s taller and I could spot him easily. But let me tell you very honestly that when I was doing Badlapur, I didn’t speak to anyone. I was shooting it till December-end and during that time I cut off from everyone including my parents.”

Clearly it was one bitter break-up, Alia and Varun’s. But we just hope that the two actors find it in themselves to move on and work with each other in the future

The Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor was reportedly seeing the Romanian beauty…

Has Salman Khan lost love yet again? Well, rumours suggest that his Romanian girlfriend has left Mumbai. Apparently, Ms Iulia Vantur has bagged a new show in Romania and she will be settling there for a while to give time to her new work.

Iulia is an actress and a TV anchor as well and was in Mumbai trying out her luck in Bollywood. She has also done an item number in Pulkit Samrat’s O Teri! Iulia and Salman met on the sets of the film and instantly fell for each other. Salman is very private about his relationship with Iulia but we heard that during his kid sister Arpita Khan’s wedding Salman was introducing Iulia to all the guests as his girlfriend.

More recently, Iulia was also spotted chilling with Salman on the sets of Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The actress has now moved back to Romania for a while and the status of her relationship with Salman is now unknown.

We just hope that Iulia is only back in Romania for her new show and that she comes back to Mumbai to reunite with Salman soon! What are your thoughts on this.
