Actress Kangana Ranaut says that her much publicised battle with Hrithik Roshan over their alleged love affair, is a thing of the past now and that the chapter is "done and dusted" for her.
	The two stars' tussle started when Kangana hinted at Hrithik being her "silly ex" during an interview last year.
	Their feud turned nasty after they slapped legal notices on each other. Hrithik even asked her to tender a public apology and refuted her claim of the two having had a relationship.
	During this war of the words between the duo, there were people from the film industry who suggested the national award-winning actress to desist from making anything public.
	"I was called at big people's houses. I was told if I open my mouth, I will be finished (referring to her career). But it doesn't make any sense because that chapter is over for me. It is so done and dusted and it doesn't hold any relevance in today's time," Kangana told PTI when asked if she was told to sort out the issue behind ...

TV personality Jimmy Kimmel, who will be hosting the 89th Academy Awards on Sunday, has vowed to "keep his 'longtime frenemy' and actor-producer Matt Damon offstage."
	Damon's film "Manchester by the Sea" is up for the best picture Oscar but he might have trouble collecting the trophy if the movie wins, as the 49-year-old popular talk show host has no plans to drop the pair's long-standing infamous feud anytime soon, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
	"I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that he (Damon) doesn't win or doesn't know that he won. My goal is to keep him offstage," Kimmel said.
	The two stars fake feud started during the third season of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in 2005 when Kimmel off-handedly ended a discouraging show by apologising to Damon, 46, for bumping him out of the show.
	Since then the pair have continued to pull pranks on each other with Kimmel spoofing Damon's film "The Martian".

	The "Hamilton" creator also wrote about his longtime love affair with the award show, offering a reasonable explanation for why he never wants to host Hollywood's biggest night.

Vice President Hamid Ansari today attended a government-hosted luncheon at a hotel here, which had sheltered over 1,200 people during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, an episode that inspired an acclaimed film a decade later.
	Incidentally, Ansari paid tributes to the victims of the harrowing tragedy at the Kigali Genocide Memorial this morning and hailed the "resilience and courage" demonstrated by Rwandans in putting behind the hatred and moving ahead on the path of "reconciliation and inclusion".
	The coincidence may perhaps serve another healing touch to the victims, as Ansari earlier had said that the purpose of his visit was a "conscious effort" by India to intensify interactions with Africa as a whole, and that "India and Rwanda were great friends".
	The luncheon was hosted by the Rwandan Senate President Bernard Makuza at the Hotel des Mille Collines here after the two leaders met and held bilateral talks at the Senate.
