“Let’s begin today’s bulletin with news on Bollywood stars Taapsee Pannu and Anushka Sharma, who, on Thursday welcomed the BCCI’s landmark decision of equal match fees for its centrally-contracted female and male players in a bid to promote gender equality in cricket. As per the newly introduced system, the Indian women cricketers will now receive Rs 15 lakh per Test, Rs 6 lakh per ODI, and Rs 3 lakh per T20I, the same as their male counterparts.
Earlier, the women players received Rs 1 lakh each for ODIs and T20Is while the match fee for a Test match was Rs 4 lakh.

“Filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who last directed Kartik Aaryan starrer Kanchi in 2014, said that films made with low budgets can also create wonders at the box office. Ghai cited movies like Iqbal and Joggers Park as examples, with respective budgets of Rs 2 crore and Rs 1 crore.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the director said that Sairaat and The Kashmir Files were a hit at the box office and added, “A strong picture with a low budget also can create a box office record. The biggest film which is made on a budget of Rs 500 crore sometimes fails to even collect Rs 50 crore. One has to understand if the narrative is being made for OTT or cinema.”

“Meanwhile,
Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif, who will next be seen in Phone Bhoot, recently opened up about Shah Rukh Khan. Katrina said that Shah Rukh is “incredibly intelligent” and “knowledgeable”.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, the actor said about SRK, “Always informative. Like always knowledgeable. I don’t know if that’s correct grammar but he is always knowledgeable. Talking to him is like an intellectual. We will always leave knowing more. He is incredibly intelligent.”
Katrina Kaif was last seen with Shah Rukh Khan in the film Zero. Although the movie was a debacle, Katrina’s portrayal of Babita Kumari was lauded by the audience.
The two actors had previously worked together in Yash Chopra’s final film Jab Tak Hai Jaan alongside Anushka Sharma. “

“In other news,
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan’s elder son Taimur Ali Khan has been a paparazzi favourite from the moment of his birth. Talking about the star kid’s status as an internet sensation, dad Saif said that sometimes the whole family gets ‘irked’ by the presence of media.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Saif spoke about Taimur getting the maximum media attention. He said, “ I wish in school star kids were not given so much importance. They are just kids. I wish they could just blend in with the other kids. But that’s the way it.””
Saif was recently seen in the movie Vikram Vedha opposite Hrithik Roshan. “
“Janhvi Kapoor has been dazzling at every Diwali bash she’s attended over the last week. The Mili actor, a few days ago, had shared pictures from a Diwali bash hosted by her cousin, actor Sonam Kapoor. In the pictures, Janhvi, dressed in a sequined lehenga, posed with her family and friends, including her half-sister Anshula Kapoor, uncle Anil Kapoor, friends Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, father Boney Kapoor, and grandmother Nirmal Kapoor along with others from the Kapoor clan, and also her rumoured former boyfriend Akshat Rajan.
Janhvi, who’s promoting her upcoming film Mili, recently opened up about her relationship status in an interview with Bollywood Bubble and revealed that she was currently single, and not seeing anybody.”
