[edit] Bluffmaster

While it has not done well in India, the story is apparently different in USA - $160,000 in the first week and $220,000 in the 2nd week - the first time a mainstream Bollywood movie has increased collections in second week (typically, it is a 20% decline). --Gurubrahma 14:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal lives

I myself do not feel that who is dating whom is proper fare for an encyclopedia. Marriages yes, long-term affairs on the part of people now dead, yes, dating right now, no. We aren't a gossip column. Also ... I have a feeling that a lot (not all, but a lot) of this is contrived by press agents to get buzz for a film. I left the bit re the actor's personal life, but it doesn't sit well with me.

[edit] Age

How old is This guy becoz IMDB says he is 41 and Wiki says he is 30..Confused..???Cometstyles 13:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

He can't be 40-odd, since that would make him only slightly younger than SRK, which is clearly not possible. xC | ☎ 06:00, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] wedding

does the wedding need so much data. i think we should revisit the section after the completion of the wedding and summarize the event into no more than 2 or 3 lines
also, the content is factually incorrect. how can millions of indians be waiting outside the bachchan's residence?Kalyan 06:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I have removed all that irrelevant information from the article. This is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid newspaper. Achitnis 07:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

It wouldn;t be millions, although as per the TV channels, dozens would be more appropriate. As for the details of the wedding, certain parts, such as the Jahnvi Kapoor incident(s) and the painting by MF Hussain would classify as notable. Just a thought...
We could give it a couple of days more, so its clear what incidents were notable and what were just general circus acts. References would be easy to get. It could be put in later. xC | ☎ 06:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
The Jahnvi Kapoor "incident" certainly does not deserve "immortalization" on wikipedia. It was a publicity stunt, by someone who needed/wanted the publicity (she didn't even hurt herself badly - just enough to get noticed). I can probably name a dozen girls in my immediate neighbourhood who thought their life had come to an end because our hereo got married, but making a list of them here would probably be as inappropriate as singling out Jahnvi Kapoor for "notability". I can point out lots and lots of such "incidents" (try the nutcase who filed a case when Priyanka Gandhi got married, claiming he was married to her) which don't deserve mention on Wikipedia. Let's not set a bad precedent here. Achitnis 11:36, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps. Fact is she did try to kill herself, created a ruckus and recieved a lot of media coverage. Now WP:RECENT exists, and this pretty much qualifies as a recent event so it might be worth a look at. Its not everyday that fans try to kill themselves outside celebrity mandaps, and it certainly doesn't happen to all filmstars. However WP:N is vague on such issues, while WP:RECENT suggests the ten-year test. Either way, its probably not encyclopedic, although articles like Jennifer_Wilbanks do exist...

Question: did they (Abhishek and Aishwarya) do a lot of dancing after the wedding? They're pretty good at that sort of thing. — Rickyrab | Talk 06:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rakesh Pradhan who?

Somebody just screwed up the page big time. I just wanted to check with Abhishek Bachchan on the Wiki and woila I find the name mentioned as Rakesh Pradhan. Some guy must have replaced his name with Abhishek's. I made the changes. ~~ice~~ 05:00, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I've removed a couple of paragraphs of unsourced material -- as per the warning at the top of this page, because it violates Wikipedia policy. If it can be backed up with references, by all means return it. Accounting4Taste 18:28, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Continuing with this policy, I have also removed un-wiki material which has been here for nearly a year now. Who cares abuot that person's opinion on who someone should marry? This is an encyclopedia, and encyclopedias are neutral and stick to FACTS. --Maurice45 (talk) 20:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
