Hrithik Roshan's ex-wife Sussanne Khan, Kangana's alleged ex Aditya Pancholi, the Women's Commission and singer Sona Mohapatra slammed Kangana for her statements. Apart from that, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's picture from Lalbaughcha Raja went viral. Kareena Kapoor Khan finally broke her silence and spoke about nepotism.

Let's take a look at the Top Newsmakers of the Week in detail:

1. Sussanne Khan hits back at Kangana Ranaut in support of Hrithik Roshan?

Sussanne reacted to Kangana's allegations on Twitter by tweeting a selfie with Hrithik Roshan and saying, "The is no allegation or sad plot that can have the weight to triumph over a good soul. #powerofthetruth #mafamilia #goodoverevil."

2. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looks drop-dead gorgeous in a red saree, visits Lalbaugcha Raja

Aishwarya visited Lalbaugcha Raja where she sought blessings from Ganpati Bappa. Aishwarya stole the spotlight as she was shining brightly in a sparkling red saree and a blouse with a golden border. Her hair was tied in a low bun with a gajra tied around it whereas a small bindi and sindoor accentuated her look.

3. Kareena Kapoor Khan on Nepotism: If there's Alia Bhatt, there's also Kangana Ranaut

Kareena spoke about nepotism to a leading magazine saying, "Basically, the industry is a ruthless place. It's about talent and survival of the fittest. Otherwise, a lot of star kids would've been No. 1 stars in our country. If there's Ranbir Kapoor, there's also Ranveer Singh who's not from the industry. So honestly, nepotism is overrated. More than in business, more than in politics, in the industry it's your hard work and talent that will take you far. That's exactly the reason Kangana Ranaut is considered such a great actress. And she's not from the industry. If there's Alia Bhatt, there's also Kangana. It's not only about star-kids."

4. Guess Who: One half of Bollywood's IT couple is sexting another popular actress

We got some juicy gossip from an insider about how a certain actor who is one-half of a very celebrated Bollywood couple is busy sexting another actress who is a contemporary as well. The actor has been in a relationship for the longest time with his actress-girlfriend but both have been on an on again-off again status. 

Some would assume that one is more in love with the other as the latter is in it for the publicity. The couple has starred in two movies together and will soon be seen in another. 

When it comes to the other sexter in the equation, she has unfortunately got two back-to-back flops in her kitty. However, with her mentor's hand on her career, she has nothing to worry about as she has movies lined up for herself. 

As the actor's last movie was a failure as well, we wonder if the two celebrities bonded over it and things got spicier in the process!? Only time will tell.

7. Jacqueline Fernandez unfollows Alia Bhatt on social media!

Jacqueline has cut all ties with Alia on social media it seems. Says a source, “But things came to light when Jacqueline quietly unfollowed Alia Bhatt on Instagram a few weeks ago. This was a result of a major fight which apparently took place between Alia and Sidharth due to his closeness to Jacqueline. Few know that Jackie has been a constant factor in the actor’s life ever since they started shooting for A Gentleman in Miami last year. At that time, during the shoot in Miami, Sid and Alia had just broken up, and Jacqueline and he hit off really well. Post shoot they would often go on long drives and cozy dinners. But then shooting got over and both returned to India. Soon Sid and Alia patched up but Jacqueline still remained a good friend of the actor. Whenever there was time the two would often catch up over a quiet chat or dinner, away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. It was a friendship that both enjoyed – both are not from Bollywood and would have a lot to catch up on.”
