Vicky-Katrina; Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor and other newsmakers of the year

Aryan Khan was taken into custody by the Naracotics Control Bureau on October 3 after they raided a cruise party in Mumbai. Shah Rukh Khan's son was shifted to Arthur Road jail where he spent over 25 days. He was granted bail on October 29 and came home on October 30. He has now been relieved of his weekly appearances (every Friday) at the NCB office. 

Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa finally tied the knot in an intimate and private ceremony on November 15 in Chandigarh. They shared some stunning pictures with fans on their Instagram accounts and fans went gaga. They acted together in Hansal Mehta’s Citylights in 2014. 

Kartik Aaryan was dropped out of Karan Johar’s Dostana 2 earlier this year due to reasons best known to the production house and the actor. Dharma Productions even issued a statement that due to professional reasons, they would be recasting the lead actor of the sequel. It already stars Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Lakshya.
Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao announced their separation after 15 years of marriage. They shared a video with fans on Instagram and spoke how they would continue to respect each other as humans and stay together for their Paani Foundation. They are also working together on Laal Singh Chaddha, which is releasing next year on April 14.
Jacqueline Fernandez was summoned by the Directorate of Enforcement for her alleged involvement with conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar. After splurging her with lavish gifts and flights on private jets, alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar is said to have told Jacqueline Fernandez that he would produce a female superhero franchise for her. He reportedly promised that a Hollywood crew would be on board for the high-octane actioner. Chandrasekhar, who was clued into film production, would tell her that she deserved to be a part of a big-budget international venture. Chandrasekhar is the prime accused in a Rs 200 crore extortion case.

 

 
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli welcomed a baby girl Vamika on January 11. They haven’t shared a picture of the toddler yet as they want everyone to respect their privacy. 
Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif sent one and all in a state of frenzy when they shared their wedding pictures on Instagram after keeping all the preparations clandestine. They got married in Rajasthan on December 9 and needless to say, stunned in their Sabyasachi outfits. Congratulations and wishes began pouring in from the industry immediately.
After the adorable Taimur Ali Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan welcomed another baby boy in February, Jehangir Ali Khan. They kept his pictures private for the time being before he became as big a media sensation as his elder brother. They all were spotted very recently at Kunal Shashi Kapoor’s Christmas bash at his residence. 

After the second lockdown due to the breakout of the Coronavirus, cinemas were shut again after a brief stint in March. They opened again all the way in November and the first film to make its way was Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi, directed by Rohit Shetty. The filmmaker was instrumental in the reopening of cinemas in Maharashtra after his plea to the Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. The state’s cinemas still function at 50 percent occupancy though.
