While some celebs floundered with dismissal singing debuts, others shamelessly linked themselves to Bollywood superstars. From reverse sexism to lousy collaborations, her are given some of the the top facepalm moments of 2016. Urwa Hocane's debute single ao Lakar Chalein literally many speechless. The Udaari actress who recently tied knot with long time beau Farhan Saeed, appeared in a ruffled pink dress and failed miserably.

Looks like do your own thing's all girls-flash mob did not receive the outcome they had been hoping for.

A page from Yaser Usman's biography on the on the enigmatic Bollywood actress Rekha, who was 15-years old was kissed harshly for 5 minutes on the film set in frint of staff and several people, but she could do nothing except closing her eyes to hide her trauma.
The incident seems earlier similar to one in Last Tango in Paris where a 19-year old Maria was lured in to a film set by a 48 year old Brando and his director. But why was this worth an outrage at that time It was apparently common those days for women to undergo sexiest treatment like this and keep mums to save their careers.
Phoolaurkankar says happy christmas to all my Christian brother all over the world and pray from Allah His Blessings for humanity and pray for peace, to clean hatred and enhance interfaith brotherhood and harmony.
