'It was an humbling experience to work with Bachchanji. This is a very special movie for me,' she added.

Farah Khan is the strongest woman in Bollywood

Akshay Kumar's vote as the 'strongest' and most 'capable' woman in Bollywood? It's none other than the director of his upcoming film 'Tees Maar Khan' - Farah Khan.

'Farah is the strongest and most capable woman in the business (Bollywood)... She is highly respected by well-known people (here),' Akshay said in a statement.

'Tees Maar Khan' is a co-production between Farah and her husband Shirish Kunder's production company Three's Company Pvt. Ltd and Akshya's Hari Om Productions.

'I'm sure Farah will make sure we live up to the title and make this film larger than life,' said Akshay.

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty exchanged wedding vows with Raj Kundra

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty Sunday exchanged wedding vows with London-based businessman Raj Kundra in a close-knit family affair here in this Maharashtra hill station.

'Everything went very well. All parents want their children to get married happily and that goes the same for Shilpa's parents as well. They are very happy,' said Kiran Bawa, Shilpa's friend and business partner, after the wedding.

'Raj and Shilpa both were very nervous before the marriage but now they are happy. We are going straight to Raj's house in Mumbai,' she added.

Wearing a red sari designed by Tarun Tahiliani, the 34-year-old exchanged vows with Kundra as per the Bunt tradition, according to the Mangalorean community that the Shettys belong to.

The groom was sporting a maroon sherwani with golden embroidery and a turban with his face veiled by a sehra (string of pearls). He was also holding a sword in his hand, as per Indian tradition.

Kundra left Amrit Villa, located about five minutes away from Bawa Villa, where the wedding was held, in a two-horse chariot.

Photographers scrambled to train their cameras at the goings-on while curious star-gazers were kept at bay by both private and police security.

Sunday's wedding was the climax of the two-day festivities that included a sangeet ceremony Saturday night here.

The buzz around the marriage started early this year and had been steadily getting louder even though Shilpa denied it officially before getting engaged to Kundra late October.

Expected at the marriage were celebrities like the Bachchan family, Shah Rukh Khan and family, the Kapoors, Rekha, Farah Khan, Salman Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Karan Johar, the Deols and Sushmita Sen.

However, noticed prominently on the occasion were only actors Rohit Roy, Jackky Bhagnani and Tahiliani.

Shilpa also delighted fans by posting a blog entry titled 'This is it' on her D-day.

'Thanks for all the best wishes from family and friends...Will write to you very soon... As Shilpa Shetty Kundra. This is it,' she posted on www.shilpashettylive.com/blog Sunday morning.

Shilpa met Raj after her win on the British reality show 'Big Brother' in 2007.

Priyanka Chopra to play 12 different roles

Actress Priyanka Chopra will be the first one ever to play 12 different roles in a film. However, actor Rajesh Shringarpure has already played 12 different characters way back in the year 2006. This was for the Marathi movie SHAMBHU MAZA NAVSACHA directed by Subhash Phadke.

Says Rajesh, ''I never realized I was creating a record of sorts while working on SHAMBHU MAZA NAVSACHA. Someone informed me about it and I was pleasantly surprised at the moment.

I have never really publicized this fact as I really do not like to spread news about myself, but I think it would be safe to say that yes I have played 12 different characters in a film.''

New pairing of Govinda and Amrita Rao

But if there's one new fan Amrita Rao can definitely lay claim to, it is her co-star. Ever since the movie released, Govinda can't stop raving about the lass.

''She was a pleasure, and a splendid person to work to with. She is hard-working, dedicated, talented and on top of it all, absolutely professional. She is a truly gifted actor. With values like that, Amrita is definitely going to go places in the industry,'' gushes Govinda, who is now looking forward to working alongside Amrita in his other movies too.

Bhumika Chawla start a chain of health gyms

Bhumika Chawla, who Hindi film lovers will remember as Salman 'Radhey' Khan's heartthrob 'Neerjara' in TERE NAAM, is all but retired from cinema after getting married to the internationally famous yoga guru, Bharat Thakur, who is Kareena Kapoor's fitness guru. However, the perky lady is not about to sit idle and wile way time doing house keeping as she is all set to start a chain of health gyms with of course, help from none other than her hubby.

The husband wife duo will start a chain of health gyms which will naturally specialize in yoga and other forms of fitness training. They plan to open their first health centre in the suburbs of Mumbai. After seeing the response, they plan to expand in other parts of the country.

SRK turns superhero next titled RA-1

After Hrithik Roshan and Abhishek Bachchan played superheroes in Krrish and Drona respectively, SRK is all set to play a sci-fi superhero in his next titled RA-1.

Tech-savvy Shah Rukh has come up with this unique title which means 'the Egyptian sun god’. The flick is slated to be directed by Anubhav Sinha.

To be produced under his own banner Red Chillies productions, SRK is taking keen interest in the scripting of the movie. This thriller is expected to hit the floors around September.

Shahid kapoor demanding 15 cr for Kaminey

After the success of Kaminey, Shahid Kapur is clearly on cloud eleven these days. Basking in the success of his blockbuster, the actor has allegedly demanded 15 crores from ace filmmaker Subhash Ghai.

Subhash Ghai who was looking for a male lead for his next untitled romantic flick reportedly approached Shahid for the role and was of course shocked to hear the amount the actor was asking for.

Shilpa Shetty is moving into the food industry

The actress is launching a new range of curries but is promising her range will be low in fat.

She is keen to incorporate her healthy lifestyle into her own food.

The 34-year-old is excited to be bringing her range to the UK and said: "I absolutely love the fact they love their curries here."

But she added there is a whole style of Indian cooking from different regions which has not reached British shores yet.

Aditya Chopra may direct Dhoom 3 in Shah Rukh Khan

Reclusive director Aditya Chopra, who is perfectly content to oversee and remote control the YRF empire while leaving the actual direction of the films to someone else, is now excited at the possibility of Dhoom 3, especially if his wish list of actors is satisfied.

Reportedly Shah Rukh Khan , who can never say no to Adi, has consented to be part of the film. An equally important role has been offered to Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik who is fastidious to a fault sometimes, is supposed to be mulling over the offer, even as he stays busy with his home production Kites and his new film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Guzaarish.

Abhishek Bachchan will of course reprise the Jay Dixit of the earlier two films and Uday Chopra will continue to play the lovable Ali who woos all the pretty girls.

But the icing on the very crowded cake will be that Aditya Chopra will direct the film. But, and this is a big but, only if all the said actors are in place.

Farah Khan wants to play the peacemaker between Salman-SRK

The choreographer-turned-director, believes that the fight between the actors is getting longer.

"I wish I could bridge the gap. I love both of them. It's (the fight) getting longer now," Farah told PTI.

Farah, who has turned a chat-show host with 'Tere Mere Beach Mein' had Salman Khan and his mother as her first celebrity guests while she is planning to bring Shah Rukh in the final episode.

"Since Salman had never come on a chat show before and was very candid during the show, we made him the first guest. But Shah Rukh will be the last one to keep the audience hooked till the end," she says.

The two Khans of Bollywood have not been on talking terms since last year, with both taking regular digs at each other in public, after a fight at the birthday party of Salman's girlfriend Katrina Kaif.

Interestingly, Shah Rukh owned Red Chillies is one of the producers of the show.

Imran Khan got engaged to his steady girlfriend Avantika Malik

Bollywood's current heart throb Imran Khan according to latest reports has got engaged to his steady girlfriend Avantika Malik in a closely kept secret ceremony.

Though, Imran has always worn his heart on his sleeve, but this secret announcement has been received with much surprise as many expected Imran to announce his engagement in full public glare.

Buzz is that Bollywood got the whiff of the news during the launch of Arjun Rampal's nightclub in Delhi were many celebs were seen congratulating the couple on their engagement.

Katrina Kaif special appearance in BLUE

A pretty big disappointment for the countless fans of Katrina Kaif, who were looking forward to a sizzling hot item number from their favourite actress in Shree Ashtavinayak's deep sea action adventure, BLUE.

But what we are saying is true as it has been revealed by none other than Katty Baby herself, while talking to a leading trade expert.

Says Katrina, ''I have a presence of exactly seven minutes and twenty seconds in BLUE. And I don't even have a song in the film.'' Katrina clarified that she knew pretty well about the length of her role and that is why she has always maintained that she is merely essaying a special appearance in BLUE.

And that she was not fooled into doing the role, which she did only for the makers and Akshay Kumar, who is a dear friend. She also added that she is revealing this as she does not want her fans to be disappointed when they don't find her in an extended special appearance.

Ritesih Deshmukh to feel 'nostalgic' these days

The actor will be seen sporting a school bag in Eros International's ALADIN directed by Sujoy Ghosh. ALADIN is a contemporary look at the classic fairy tale where Riteish plays the title character. However, in Sujoy's version, ALADIN shares nothing other than his name with the protagonist of the famous fairy-tale.

Here ALADIN is a shy, young man who is constantly bullied by a certain gang of boys in his college. Since Riteish plays a college student in the film, he was required to carry a bag. The actor suggested using a sling, since that is very popular with the youth today.

However, Director Sujoy insisted on Riteish carrying a typical school bag as it would be a perfect fit with his reclusive character in the film. Riteish immediately disagreed, but later decided to try it out on Sujoy's persuasion.

He was given a worn-out brown leather bag by Art director Sabu Cyril to try it on. After giving a few takes with the bag, he discovered, to his own surprise that the bag indeed added that 'authentic' touch to his character in the film and gladly agreed to carry it.

Says Riteish, ''Sujoy is a brilliant director and knows exactly what he wants. He was very sure about his portrayal of ALADIN and though I was initially hesitant, I realized that the bag completely matched ALADIN's personality.'' And how was the school-going experience? He laughs ''Carrying that typical 'two-shoulder' school bag initially felt weird, but it was fun too. It was like reliving my school days after all these years!

Priyanka Chopra decided to jet off to a much deserved sabbatical

Priyanka Chopra decided to jet off to a much deserved sabbatical. Though everyone, including the scribes who normally love to bitch about her, were ecstatic that Piggy Chops is soaking herself wet on the beaches abroad, the celebration mood was spoilt after a work commitment needed the actress to be back in town.

Actually, it was the dubbing for Priyanka's upcoming film WHAT'S YOUR RASHEE that played the spoilsport. Though, Priyanka gladly came back and did her bit, it was at the cost of her holidaying mood that the Bollywood hottie came back in town to finish the pending work.

Though, she's not complaining, since she's joining her family and friends back at the undisclosed holiday destination one more time, we hope it's not work calling her back again in the middle of her much deserved break.

Salman Khan cancels his US trip

Bollywood star Salman Khan has cancelled his upcoming trip to New York to promote his latest movie "Wanted", besides participating in the auction of his personal paintings to raise funds for his charity.

Organisers and promoters associated with the event cited Shah Rukh Khan's episode at Newark Airport early this month, where he was questioned by immigration officials and taken for a second screening, as a major reason for Salman to cancel his New York trip scheduled in early September.

The event was scheduled for September 3 in New York. The promoters were also in talks with local organisers in cities like Chicago, Houston and Dallas for his other events.

"However, after the Shah Rukh Khan event, Salman informed us that he would not like to take the risk of coming to the US at this point," an informed source involved with the planning and organising the September 3 event told PTI.

Priyanka Chopra turns a victim of child marriage

Priyanka Chopra and her upcoming flick What’s Your Raashee? It’s a known fact that she is essaying 12 different characters, as per the 12 different zodiac signs, but apparently and very strangely, one of them bears a striking similarity to Anandi of Balika Vadhu.

In one of the roles Priyanka essays the character of Jhankana, who is a naive village girl and a victim of child marriage. Priyanka is donning a village girl look, complete with two pig tales and a sari with dark make up.

Though we are not implying that the look is totally a copy of Balika Vadhu’s Anandi, the striking similarities like pigtails and Rajasthani pallu and bandhani ghagra do lay a heavy suspicion on the ‘inspiration’ behind the pigtails of Piggy Chops.

And oh! Did we mention even poor Jhankana is a victim of child marriage just like Anandi! Coincidence? We don’t think so!

Looks like ‘child marriage’ is the hot talk around the industry, and now silver screen is getting on with the trend and cashing in on the hot topic of child brides!

Kareena still part of Shahid’s life

Shahid Kapur may have spoken about getting over a relationship and how hard it can be but from what we saw the actor is yet to let go. At the finals of India’s Got Talent, where Shahid was present along with Rani Mukherjee to promote their film, Dil Bole Hadippa, we caught him rather hooked to a Kareena commercial.

The ad in question is a new Airtel ad, which features both Kareena and Saif Ali Khan. While the organisers were trying to explain Shahid the rules and the theme of the show the actor was completely hooked to the ad being played on a TV monitor in the background.

Some onlooker could not help a slight laughter at Shahid’s behaviour, as he completely ignored the people speaking to him and checked Saif closely. Looks like somewhere down there Shahid’s heart is far from doing hadippa.

Ranbir Kapoor getting quite restless these days

Ranbir Kapoor is getting quite restless these days. Apparently it all has something to do with the beard he has been sporting of late.

Ranbir has been sporting this new look for his next film Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year. The shooting for the film was supposed to wrap up by August 14 but has since been delayed.

So poor Ranbir, who is now committed to two other films – Wake Up Sid and Rajneeti – is in a bit of a fix.

Katrina Kaif is one of the fastest ascent to the top

Katrina Kaif is one of the fastest ascent to the top, She has agreed to do an item number in Ashtavinayak’s Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar starrer, “BLUE”. Sources reaveled that Katrina has demanded and received a whopping 1.5 crore for the same.

With that the much maligned item number has assumed a new high and also a prestigious new name- Hot and sensational dance number.

Many of the top and respectable names in the industry have decided to take the plunge too. First off the block is going to be the woman of substance, Preity Zinta, who has consented to do an item number in the Salman Khan-Kareena Kapoor starrer, “Mr And Mrs Khanna”.

Deepika like to work with Salman

Deepika Padukone is just four-films-old, but the dusky damsel has been able to star with the biggest names of the glamour world. Now the starlet desires to work with the most eligible bachelor of B-town, Salman Khan.

I`m so new in the industry and I have been very lucky to have got the opportunity to work with the biggest names in the industry. ”I have worked with SRK, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan and now I would like to work with Salman,” Deepika said.

Though Deepika doesn’t share a good bond with Salman’s sweetheart Katrina Kaif, she is still game to work with the handsome hunk.

Katrina’s brush with Shahrukh!

Salman Khan was busy taking a dig at Shahrukh Khan over his detention in the US, his Girlfriend Katrina Kaif took extra effort to get close to Shahrukh.

The news is doing the rounds that Shahrukh bumped into Katrina on his way from London to Mumbai after his infamous detention in the US.

Sources said that Katrina left for Shahrukh as soon as the plane took off. Shahrukh being a thorough gentleman offered his seat to her and they chatted away.

It is said that Shahrukh shared mainly his experiences in the USA and UK. They were engrossed in conversation throughout the journey and Katrina went back to her seat only when the plane was about to land in Mumbai.

It maybe recalled that Salman and Shahrukh have not met since they got into a brawl last year at Katrina’s birthday party.

Commenting on the recent detention of Shahrukh at the Newark Airport, Salman said that it was not a big deal. Now, we don’t what Salman has to say on Katrina’s brush with Shahrukh!

Katrina Kaif queens of Bollywood yet again

Bollywood hottie Katrina Kaif has beaten reigning queens of Bollywood yet again.

Kat has defeated Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Chopra and Bipasha Basu time and again by bagging 'India's Sexiest Woman' title.

As per the latest report, Katrina Kaif has once again been voted as India's Sexiest Woman by an international men's magazine.

Katrina is quite amused by the sexy tag and says that she is happy and feels that showing skin doesn't help.

Asin Thottumkal gets marriage proposals from her admirer

Asin Thottumkal, who has entered Bollywood through Aamir Khan’s Ghajini, gets marriage proposals from her admirers and fans too often that she is immune to them.

But she just couldn’t ignore the proposal she got from one of her admirers, and she is very secretive about it.

Hot and happening pair Shahid and Priyanka

The lead pair of Kaminey are like cats in the cradle. There is something special about the duo that connects to the audience naturally. The chemistry they share is incredible – looks like real. We are talking about the hot and happening pair Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. No wonder Kaminey has made a great opening.

Shahid and Priyanka get along like a house on fire. They know how to keep their film in the news and managed to keep their real and reel love story in suspense till its release.As the audience watches the film, this question keep popping up – are they or aren’t they in love in real life? Curiosity turns into thrill.

They have denied dating each other though they have been spotted together at hot spots many a time. But they can’t deny the fact that they look great together on screen. They look great together off screen too. This has made them a hot pair, perhaps the hottest pair in Bollywood today.

For his birthday on August 29, they have put together a tribute song. Shahrukh Khan is a huge MJ fan. He cried when he heard about his shocking death.

Akshay Kumar got together to give Deepika some time off this week

After the attack of malaria in London Deepika Padukone has had no time to slow down let alone take a break. In fact she was determined to continue working through her delicate post-illness phase specially since she flew down to Delhi for the release of Love Aaj Kal and therefore lost more precious shooting days.

But then Deepika hadn’t really bargained for a unit as large-hearted as Sajid Nadiadwala’s. In spite of the lost dates the producer, director and the leading man Akshay Kumar got together to give Deepika some time off this week.

Says a source, “Since the cast involves many other permutations and combinations between Akshay and the rest of the cast they decided to let Deepika rest it out for a week and do scenes with the rest of the cast.”

Deepika promptly called her family over to relax and feel at home in the city where she’s constantly shooting. First Love Aaj Kal now Housefull “My Dad, Mum and sister were here for a few days. I got to spend some much-needed time with them.I hardly get to visit them in India.

They visit me in Mumbai more than I visit them in Bangalore. And they visit me when I’m abroad. They came to Bangkok during Chandni Chowk To China.

Aishwarya Rai down with chest infection

'Aishwarya has taken ill and is down with chest infection and flu like symptoms. She had a high fever yesterday, but is settling down today,' he posted on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com Saturday from Singapore.

'It's worrying to be so far away from children and not be there to look after them. Yes, they are mature and married and responsible, but children will always remain children,' he added. Aishwarya is married to Bachchan's son Abhishek.

The 66-year-old veteran is in Singapore to look after his friend and Samajwadi Party chief Amar Singh, who underwent medical treatment there.

Salman and Kamaal Khan return with WANTED

Salman Khan and Kamaal Khan made history as they collaborated with 'O O Jaane Jaana' for the film PYAAR KIYA TO DARNA KYA (1998). The song as well as the film was a huge hit and soon Kamaal Khan became a household name.

Now the two Khans are reuniting for the film WANTED that features a song titled 'Ishq Vishq'. Composed by Sajid-Wajid, the song yet again boasts of a catchy tune and though purists may argue that the song doesn't offer anything new, the fact remains that the entire project is designed as a Salman Khan mass entertainer which goes back to old school masala entertainment genre. While Kamaal certainly seems to be enjoying his outing, Salman too is going all out in this song.

Well, one indeed believes Wajid when he says that because since the time of 'O O Jaane Jaana', Kamaal Khan has sung quite a few chartbuster tracks for Salman in films like HELLO BROTHER, KAHIN PYAAR NA HO JAAYE, TUMKO NA BHOOL PAAYENGE, TERE NAAM, DIL NE JIS APNA KAHA and MAINE PYAAR KYUN KIYA. Now add WANTED to the list!

Shahrukh hosted Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri to a special dinner

Bollywood heartthrob Shahrukh Khan hosted Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam to a special dinner at his residence in Mumbai's posh Banjara Hills last Monday.

"I attended a dinner at his house. He served the best Indian cuisine including briyani and thosai. I must say Malaysian (food) tastes 20 per cent less good than original Indian food. He also agreed to do one or two shoots for his new movie Happy New Year in Malacca later this year," Mohd Ali told Bernama during a brief visit here.

He said they also discussed establishing a film studio in Malacca to develop talents for the Malaysian movie industry.


"He (Khan) has a lot of experience in acting and movie production. He has given us his blessings, I hope he can give lectures and share his knowledge with us," added Mohd Rustam.

Two of Khan's movies, "One Two Ka Four" and "Don", were shot in the historical Malacca state.

Last November, the Malacca state government awarded him the title "Datuk" for promoting Malacca through his movies.

Salman terrorized by Swine Flu

Earlier it was Karan Johar and now, Salman Khan seems to be fretting over swine flu! Apparently, Sallu miya does not want to take any chance with the dreadful disease.

So, Salman along with the other star cast and crew of Wanted canceled the venue of the press conference, which was scheduled at Amby valley on Aug 12.

Reliable sources reveal, “Amby valley is close to Pune, which is largely hit by the swine flu. So, Salman took the decision keeping in mind the consequences of the situation.” The sources go on to add, “Now, the press conference will be held in Mumbai.”

Govinda plays womaniser in 'Life Partner'

'Life Partner' tells the story of two young men played by Fardeen Khan and me. And then there is Govinda who keeps coming in and going out of the scene, just as Salman did in 'No Entry'," Tusshar told IANS.

"In 'No Entry', the story revolved around Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan, but no one could deny the importance of Salman in the film. Same is the case in 'Life Partner' too where Govinda is an integral part of the plot," says Tusshar who is also working with Govinda in "Run Bhola Run", a comedy.

Directed by Rumi Jaffery and produced by Abbas-Mustan, "Life Partner" is releasing Friday.

Talking about the three male protagonists in "Life Partner", Tusshar said: "The best of the enterprise is the conflicting view that each of us has around marriage. Fardeen is quite flamboyant and believes in love marriage.

He has a girl friend (Genelia D'Souza), is very westernised in appeal, just as he is in real life too and has a free side to him. We both play best friends in the film."

Media is lying Salman didn't take a penny

Salman Khan has been put in a bad light by electronic media. The news channels has reported Salman to have been paid one crore to attend the music launch of the film organized last week.

Naseer puts an end to such rumours and says, “It simply pathetic on the part of media to report such a loose report. My association with Salman Khan has a history behind it. We met while we were shooting for our respective projects at filmcity.

We would have a nice chat during the break, after Salman would shoot for his ad-film. And he gave me word to be of any help in future.” He goes on to add, “I have not had a good experience in the industry as far as association is concerned.

So, I was little reluctant to approach Salman, even though he had promised. Salman was approached by my spokesperson and eventually on goodwill was present at the launch. I feel extremely disgusted at such a nasty remark by media.”

Kareena is very strong in KURBAAN

After the release of her KAMBAKKHT ISHQ and Saif Ali Khan's first home production LOVE AAJ KAL, Kareena Kapoor is a relieved woman. Both the films have succeeded in their own ways and now she can afford to take it easy for a while before her next release KURBAAN gets ready to hit the screens later this year.

Though she has worked in 30 odd films so far, Kareena states that KURBAAN gave her an opportunity to sink her teeth on one of the best roles in her career.

A Karan Johar production, KURBAAN is directed by first timer Rensil D'Silva and has terrorism as its background.

"The girl's role is very strong in KURBAAN and I have worked really hard on my performance. I am expecting a lot from the film", Kareena adds. In the film she is paired opposite Saif Ali Khan. KURBAAN also stars Vivek Oberoi, Dia Mirza, Kirron Kher and Om Puri in principal roles.

Priyanka Chopra would not be seen in Dostana the sequel

Dostana director Tarun Mansukhani has reportedly opted for Katrina Kaif instead. Sources divulge, "Katrina was chosen to play the female lead after much deliberation. Dharma Productions has auditioned dozens of new girls.

Actually, they wanted a fresh face for Dostana 2. But finally, after a tedious Google search, they felt that Katrina's 'most hit' status on the Internet makes it apt for her to play the role of the 'most hit' girl by the boys in Dostana 2."

It seems that Dostana 2 will be just as entertaining as its predecessor; however Riteish Deshmukh and Arjun Rampal will join Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham.

It has been reported that Katrina Kaif has already agreed to star opposite John despite reported issues between Salman and John, and has also agreed to act opposite Abhishek Bachchan regardless of the differences with Aishwariya.

Rani Mukherjee set to go from a behenji to a babe!

Rani Mukherjee who's been quite conservative(conservative of course only in comparison to what the likes of Priyanka Kothari and Sherlyn Chopra have brought on screen) when it comes to her costume but looks like times are changing and so is our Rani who's all set to go from a behenji to a babe!

Yes you read right! The award-winning actress is rumoured to be hopping on the ‘bikini brigade' and that too for none other than her beloved production house Yash Raj Films.


Rani has been working day and night on her new hot bod with Aamir Khan's trainer Satyadev. It seems that in Dil Bole Hadippa we'll be seeing two extremes of Rani like never before, first there's the Sikh-cricket-playing Rani and then there's the ultra hot-i-fied Rani!

Salman Khan wanted to grow a real moustache

Salman Khan wanted to grow a real moustache to play a rustic cop in Dabangg. But the mouche now seems to be a remote possibility.

Those ambitious plans of changing his looks to look like a corrupt debauched cop, have been considerably toned down. The reason is simple. Khan superstars with moustaches just don’t go down well with the audience.

Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s most disastrous films in recent times were Mangal Pandey and Paheli, respectively. Commenting on the status of the hero’s moustache in Dabangg, Salman’s brother Arbaaz Khan (also the film’s producer) says, “We’re still undecided.


No one can tell the difference,” says Arbaaz. Earlier, the film was supposed to be located in Bihar.But now we aren’t naming the town.

It could Varanasi or Patna or anywhere in India. And if you must know, Salman ain’t that ‘bad’ in Dabangg any longer. Says Arbaaz, “I’d say he plays a believable human character with shades of grey.

Dabangg isn’t the most negative character that Salman plays. But it’s definitely the most human character.

Priyanka Chopra has a new fan

Bollywood Priyanka Chopra has a new fan. And it is none other than her ‘Kaminey’ co-star Shahid Kapoor. Even though both have denied rumours of their link-up, they cannot stop praising each other.

Infact news is that Shahid is so impressed with Piggy Chops work that he feels it is her best performance so far.

Recently Shahid commented, “I always knew Priyanka is a very good actress and after working on `Kaminey` with her, I realised that she has given one of the most splendid performances of her career.

I think Priyanka is at her career`s best right now”.

Lovers-turn-foes Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai

Lovers-turn-foes Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai almost bumped into each other on Sunday. In fact, they get too close to each other that they just couldn’t go about freely.

It so happened both Salman and Aishwarya were shooting at Mehboob Studios all day for their respective films. Salman was shooting for his much-talked about film Veer while Ash was shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish.

Adding more drama to the aura, Ranbir Kapoor, who was linked with Salman’s girlfriend Katrina Kaif, was also there shooting for Yash Raj Films’ Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year.

The unit of Veer was worried that Salman might lose his cool and create havoc at the studio. But to their surprise, Salman made sure that everything was alright.
