Ambani, SRK send flowers on Uddhav b’day

-
Mumbai On his 50th birthday on Tuesday, Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray received bouquets from unexpected quarters — Shah Rukh Khan and Mukesh Ambani. It was only two months ago that the Sena had threatened to stall the actor’s movie My Name is Khan for supporting Pakistani cricketers, and slammed the Reliance chairman for saying “Mumbai belonged to all Indians”.


In fact, the Reliance group went a step further and released a full-page advertisement with Uddhav’s photo in Sena’s mouthpiece Saamna on Tuesday.
“Uddhavji received a number of bouquets from sainiks, businessmen, industrialists all over the state but it was quite surprising to see bouquets from Khan and Ambani. Like others, they also sent their wishes,” said a source.
However, it was the Sena who had taken the first step to ease things by inviting Ambani for its May 1 function to celebrate 50 years of Maharashtra’s foundation. The industrialist had chosen to stay away.
Khan, for his part, had publicly said that he respected Bal Thackeray and had family relations with Uddhav, but refused to tender any apology as sought by Thackeray prior to the release of MNIK for statements in support of the inclusion of Pakistani players in the Indian Premier League.
Meanwhile, estranged cousin Raj Thackeray and chief of the rival Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, who receives a bouquet from Uddhav and family on his birthday, did not send any wishes on Tuesday.

LOS ANGELES: Michael Jackson didn't do it his way after all. Hours after the pop singer's first posthumous single ‘This Is It’ was released amid great hype on Monday, it emerged that the tune had been recorded 18 years ago by an obscure Puerto Rican singer. Moreover the co-author of that tune, ‘My Way’ songwriter Paul Anka, threatened to sue Jackson's estate for proper credit and his share of royalties. The administrators of the estate quickly acknowledged Anka's claims and granted him 50 percent of the copyright, a potentially massive payday for the 68-year-old Canadian crooner. And an equally massive loss for the estate. ‘They realize it's a mistake, they realize it's my song, they realize it's my production of his vocal in my studio and I am getting 50 percent of the whole project, actually, which is fair,’ Anka said in a video posted on the TMZ gossip Web site. The song dates back to 1983, when it was known as ‘I NeverHeard’ – a co-write between...

Shah Rukh Khan is not just an on-screen superstar. Even when he is off the screen, he manages to charm his fans with his razor-sharp wit, gentleman behavior, his extremely down-to-earth nature and his never-ending love for his family. When a user asked on Quora as to how SRK was off the screen, one of his ex-employees decided to reply anonymously. In her long answer, she disclosed 12 things about the superstar, which will warm your heart. Here you go: 1. He's a superstar of the highest order and this is the 21st century, but he would still always open the door for an average female employee like me, and let me pass first. 2.
