It looks like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is really taking off in Bollywood, too! For those who don’t know, this new viral activity involves dumping a bucket of ice-cold water on your head to raise awareness for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease). Participants who do this can then nominate another person, who has to do it themselves or “forfeit” by making a donation to the ALS Association. It’s been big internationally for a few days now, but now it’s clear that it’s catching on here too: many Indian – including Bollywood – celebrities have also been taking the challenge (such as Riteish Deshmukh!). More on that soon, so keep an eye out, but until then, read on for some of the biggest headlines doing the rounds today.

On another note, it looks like Vidya Balan donned a disguise recently so that she could go to Gaiety Galaxy and watch Salman Khan‘s Kick, but she was figured out before long! According to reports, she wore a burqa and managed to stay inconspicuous for the first half of the movie. However, by the time the interval rolled around, several people had spotted her husband, Siddharth Roy Kapur, and began wondering who the lady with him was. They put two and two together, so Vidya and Siddharth had to hurry out of the theatre before the end of the film!

Priyanka Chopra put in an appearance on Jhalak for promotions of Mary Kom, donning two different looks – both ‘inspirational’! Stay tuned to the blog for pictures of that, and let us know which of the two looks you prefer.
