The Bachchans clans has yet another reason to celebrate.

Remember Meera? The Pakistani actress who is less known for her no-so-great performances in forgettable ‘Nazar’ and ‘Kasak’ and known more for her public tantrums. The actress is best known for her claim a few months ago that Mahesh Bhatt had physically abused her and was even possessive about her. She went further to hold Bhatt responsible for driving her away from Bollywood.

However, it seems that our tinsel town failed to tap her talents well and her performances are earning high appreciation in our neighbour Pakistan. The actress has been conferred the ‘Sitara-i-Imitaz’, the third highest civilian honor in Pakistan. We wonder what Mahesh Bhatt has to say on this!!

The fourth season of the popular ‘reality show’ Khatron Ke Khiladi Torchaar comes to an end here with Bollywood actress Aarti Chabria walking away with the winning title beating away the other three finalists Aashka Goradia, Mauli Dave and Dina. Aarti shared and dedicated her win to her teammate Dhaval Thaku. Aarti has also been chosen as the ‘Thums Up Thunder Star’, where she will get an opportunity to feature with Akshay in the new campaign. Her partner Dhaval won a Scorpio car.

The finale involved a stunt where the male contestant had to drive the car and the female contestant was controlling the vehicle’s momentum.

Aarti calls the fear factor journey as a rollercoaster ride adding that it was a mind blowing and heartening experience to be part of the reality show and added that it was a different experience altogether as she had never done this ever in her life.
