No watch policy

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan shared that he didn’t watch the T20 World Cup final match between India and South Africa because of his belief that the team loses when he watches a match. He took to his blog and wrote, “World Champions… India! The excitement and emotions and the apprehension… All one and over .. the TV was not seen… we lose when I do!”

“Love this man”

Anushka Sharma wrote a heartwarming note for her husband and star batter Virat Kohli. Calling him her “home”, she wrote a sweet note for Virat on her Instagram handle along with his picture holding the trophy. “AND ….. I love this man..@virat.kohli . So grateful to call you my home..- now go have a glass of sparkling water for me to celebrate this!”
