"Little Mix" singer Perrie Edwards' mother has denied her daughter was responsible for musician Zayn Malik's departure from boy band One Direction.
	Malik, 22, quit the group in March earlier this year and his pop star fiancee Edwards came under fire from fans, who blamed her for his exit.
	His exit was announced shortly after the singer was accused of cheating on his 21-year-old fiancee while his band was on tour in Thailand, reported Contactmusic.
	"It was his decision and nothing to do with Perrie. They've always been happy... Zayn's one of the nicest boys I've ever met and I couldn't imagine Perrie with anyone else.
	"I feel like he's already my son, they've been together since she was on The X Factor so he's part of the family," she said.
	The pair began dating in 2012 and got engaged in 2013.

Actor Irrfan Khan has shot down rumours of playing the titular role in director Omung Kumar's upcoming film "Sarabjit", a biopic on the slain Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh.
	The "Piku" star, who is in Budapest shooting for his next Hollywood project "Inferno" alongside Tom Hanks, said he has not been approached for the film.
	 "I haven't been approached to play Sarabjit at all. This news is definitely not true," Irrfan, 48, said in a statement.
	Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been roped in to play Sarabjit's sister Dalbir Kaur, who fought for her brother's release from the Lahore jail.
	Sarabjit, 49, was convicted of alleged involvement in a string of bomb attacks in Pakistan's Punjab province that killed 14 people in 1990 and spent about 22 years in prisons. A court sentenced him to death.
	Sarabjit sustained severe injuries when six prisoners attacked him in a Pakistani jail in 2013. He succumbed to his injuries in the hospital.

	"I am just waiting for the release of 'Baahubali'. I am both nervous and excited about whether the people will like the film or not. I really worked hard for it especially on my physique. Sometimes I used to take only eggs for 30-40 days to get into shape for one character," Prabhas told PTI.
	The actor, who was last seen in Telugu action-drama "Mirchi", said he learnt sword fighting, kick-boxing, kung-fu and horse riding for "Baahubali".

Director Dvid Ayer has shared on Twitter a photo of a silhouetted character with gun and headphones from the set of "Suicide Squad".
	The character is shown wearing a baseball cap, headphones, jacket and longpants and carrying an assault rifle, reported Aceshowbiz.
	While Ayer did not provide any details on the picture, fans guessed that the character was Deathstroke.
	Deathstroke has been rumoured for several months to appear in the DC villain flick with one report claiming that the character was the one being played by Jim Parrack.
	Back in December, a report suggested that Deathstroke would be the bodyguard of Amanda Waller (Viola Davis).
	Deathstroke aka Slade Wilson is a talented mercenary who relies on various weapons to fight enemies, so an assault rifle seen in the photo might be one of his tools.
