Today’s blind item comes from Mid-Day. It’s about something that you all know about. These people are the richest in India and yet they are suckers for celebrities, which is so strange. Only in India, you see this sort of thing happens. Who invites all of Bollywood for the opening of their hospital, whose special guest was the Prime Minister? They did! But their infatuation with Bollywood is something that’s not surprising, what’s surprising though is how one of their boys lost oodles of weight. It’s pretty amazing, which begs the question whether it was natural weight lost or something that most rich people do to lose weight? Check out the blind item below.

Bollywood Blind Item

Star crazy

Corporate India continues its fascination with Bollywood as ever. Time was when Mumbai’s twin planets of power and pelf kept a safe distance, and existed in relative isolation from each other. Not so any more.

As in the case of this leading business clan (albeit in the red) known for being particularly star struck with its penchant for rubbing shoulders with glam stars, especially young good looking actresses. Last week saw its scion host a party for the progeny of a minor Bolly celeb.

“Even by their standards it appeared to be taking things too far,” sniffed a guest who gave the event a miss. “How far will they go in their worship of Bollywood?” As for another invitee, a leading businessman politician known to love the social whirl, when asked if he would be attending, his response is said to have been, “You think I’m mad?” Oh dear.
