Ranveer Singh took his pants off for Happy Budday song from Kill Dil

The Happy Budday song from Kill Dil made Ranveer Singh take off his pants.                                Happy Budday is the birthday song in the film where Ranveer Singh sings at Parineeti Chopra's birthday party. The song was shot in Lavasa at night and it was very hot, around 40 degrees at that time. Owing to the heat, Ranveer Singh, who was wearing leather pants for the song, removed them as the heat got to him and was making him extremely uncomfortable.                                       
A pantless Ranveer was quite a sight for many present and created a huge commotion. 200 girls who were dancers in the song, started cat calling and whistling at Ranveer. Hearing the noise, people came to their windows to see what the commotion was about. The unit had to run around taking everybody's, cell phones and delete the pictures.

Sonali Cable Box Office report: First two day total stands at Rs 30 lakhs

The Rhea Chakravarty and Ali Fazal starrer Sonali Cable does not seem to be faring well at the Box Office.                                                                                                                                                  According to a report in Koimoi.com, the movie which released on 17th October, had a very slow and poor opening on the first day itself, collecting only 14 lakhs.                                                           Further to reports, the film collected 16 lakhs on Saturday (18th October) and the total domestic Box Office collection stands at a total of 30 lakhs. The film has not been able to pick up through word of mouth publicity.                                                                                                             Directed by Charudutt Acharya, the film was not heavily promoted and the music has also been average. This could be one of the reasons why the film had a slow start at the box office. Ali Fazal was last seen inBobby Jasoos which too did not fare well at the box office. Rhea Chakraborty was last seen in Mere Dad Ki Maruti which too didn't seem to click too well with audiences.

      Over the last two years, he has become not just the biggest musician of Bollywood, but is truly loved by people. He is a workaholic and has had no time for himself these past few years. The sad news is that his health has now caught up with him and he has been advised complete bed rest for two months, failing which he could land himself in serious problems. Honey got married to Shalini Talwar on January 23, 2011 and lives with her in Delhi.
Shalini spoke exclusively for the first time to us about him and said, "Since July, Honey has had a lot of health issues due to physical stress. I have seen him past 10 years working so hard all the time composing music. He has a lot of work and wants to do so much, but right now he is not able to cope up with it. He needs to be on complete bed rest cut off from the world for at least 45 days. He doesn't like being at home or out of work. But his blood pressure has been fluctuating, his heart beat is not good and doctors have asked him to be completely at peace, on vacation doing nothing. He has, of course, been allowed to compose music on his laptop. He is in Delhi with all of us, me, his parents and his sister. It's very tough for him to accept that he is not well, so we have to keep the pressure on him to rest. His body is weak and his health is priority, so he needs to completely rest, despite any commitments he may have."                                                          Anyone who has known Honey can tell you that he is a fine human being with tonnes of talent and there is nothing in the world that can hold him back from returning to his first love, that of being an entertainer. We pray for Honey's good health and are sure that this rockstar will return to us very soon.
