Lohan’s Lashings! Controversy and LINDSAY LOHAN are now synonymous. The 2004 Mean Girls actress is facing a backlash from conservatives and anti-Muslim extremists for her new Instagram bio. There are rumours going on that Lohan may have converted to Islam. She wiped her Instagram account clean and wrote “Alaikum salaam” in her bio. Alaikum Salaam is Arabic for “and peace unto you,” which is used in response to the Islamic greeting “Salaam Alaikum,” which means “may peace be upon you.” She made headlines in the past for her fondness of the Middle East, humanitarian work with refugees in Turkey and Syria and for carrying the Quran in New York. This curious move by La Lohan is enough to cause rampant speculation that she is well on her way to converting to Islam.
These days YAMI GAUTAM is all praises for Hrithik Roshan’s talents. Yami, who is Hrithik’s co-star in the forthcoming film Kaabil, said “He is such a selfless actor. Actors always work hard for their own performance, but he is concerned about the whole scene, including the performance of his co-actors.” Although Yami made her debut with Shoojit Sircar’s “Vicky Donor” but her journey in Bollywood is still going through the labour pains. On this account she points out, “We all should face some failures in life and learn from them.”
