Actually photons do travel faster than light. However, on average, they only travel light speed. I suggest you pick up a copy of Richard Feynman's lectures on Physics.
He will explain it to you, if you are really interested.

Since black hole possess immense amount of gravity, we tend to assume that what ever goes into the black hole will be accelerated but for that to happen, anything goes into the black hole should have mass and photo doesn't have any mass and so it will not be accelerated, in other words, its velocity doesnt change.
The most interesting fact of black hole is, the escape velocity inside the black hole is greater than the velocity of light and therefore even light is trapped inside the black hole

No because light is as fast as ANYTHING can ever go.
If you try to go faster that the speed of light you gain heat and mass, not speed.

No.
The speed of light in vacuum is constant. That's why a black hole can form in the first place.

Light cannot travel faster that light can travel, although it can travel slower. I recall an experiment at UC Berkley where they slowed light to something like 30 mph or something, although I have no clue as to how they did that. That would be fun to watch though.

not because light run at the same velocity and whenever gets close to a black hole it stretch

No, because it's already going at the speed of light, which is as fast (and as slow) as light ever goes. It has only one speed.

No, The speed of light is constant-it doesnt change whatever the 'environment' that it passes through.

light is electromagnetic wave whose speed is not affect by and electric or magnetic field..!!!so light may deviate in black hole but its speed is not affected..!!
