Who says beauty and brains don’t mix? Prakash Jha’s next film Satyagraha will see the lethal combination come together in the form of Kareena Kapoor where she plays a journalist.
Right now Kareena looks her best ever. She is on a high in her career, love life and looks. In Satyagraha, Kareena plays a television journalist who goes on to become an iron willed head of state. She will share screen space with Amitabh Bachchan for the first time after 2004 where they were last seen in Govind Nihalani’s film Dev in which they were not together in a single scene. Ever since her sister Karisma broke up with Amitabh’s son Abhishek Bachchan, the two were never seen talking to each other, leaving alone act together. This spells a welcome change for their immense fan following. Satyagraha is planned to be released in August 15 next year.

Bride gets married without a groom

Anyone who walked past Shyampur village in Orissa wouldn’t find anything unusual about the wedding celebrations held there recently.
The family dressed up in all wedding finery greeted guests warmly. Lavish arrangements were made with at least 1000 guests attending. A priest, relatives and friends of the bride made merry with full gusto. However, on closer look, you would find something amiss in the mass wedding celebration. There were two girls, beautifully turned out, but not a single groom stood there for them. For the villagers, it’s nothing unusual.
They have been celebrating this way for the last 31 years. It’s a festival called the Kumar Purnima, where young girls have a mock marriage to bless them with grooms as handsome and skilled as lord Kartik, in whose honour it is celebrated. The young girls pray to the sun and moon for marital happiness, wealth and joy. All wedding rites and rituals are performed to appease the lord and after the ceremonies are over, the go back to a regular life as unmarried girls, the way they were before.
