Aishwarya Rai And Shah Rukh Khan To Pair Up Again




The 'Mohabbatein' (2000) pair of Aishwarya Rai- Bachchan And Shah Rukh Khan are all set to end a seven year sabbatical and team up once again for King Khan's home banner, ‘Red Chillies Entertainment.’

As may be recalled after 'Mohabbatein', the SRK-Aish pair had shot for Aziz Mirza's 'Chalte Chalte'(2003).

Unfortunately due to an on the set showdown involving the lead pair and Salman Khan, Aishwarya was ousted from the project and in came Rani.

As a fallout SRK was not invited for the Abhishek-Aishwarya wedding.



Deepika Paudkone laid up with a bout of malaria






Akshay Kumar’s gallant nature was revealed in London when his ‘Housefull’ co-star Deepika Paudkone was laid up with a bout of malaria. He not only made sure Deepika was looked after, but also persuaded her to stay away from shooting.

While Deepika was resting, alternative scenes that didn’t require her were shot.

I’m recovering. I was bedridden for three days. And yes, I did return to the set on Saturday. I had to shoot. But I’m not sure whether it was the wisest of decisions, considering it was malaria,’ Deepika told IANS from London.Akshay and Deepika earlier teamed up for ‘Chandni Chowk To China’, which turned out to be a box office dud. But the film’s failure hasn’t affected their friendship.

I’m lucky to be surrounded by gallant men. Whether it’s my dad, Ranbir (Kapoor), Akshay, Shah Rukh Khan or any of my co-stars, I haven’t so far encountered any ill-behaved men,’ said Deepika whose next release is ‘Love Aaj Kal’.

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, ‘Love Aaj Kal’ hits the screens Friday. And Saif Ali Khan, who plays Deepika’s cynical love interest in the romantic saga, also gets high marks from Deepika, though she admits they aren’t close friends.

In the movie, Saif plays a guy who doesn’t believe in romantic love whereas Deepika is a die-hard romantic both in the film and in real life.

He (Saif) also believes in love and realises it when he can’t do without the girl. So I guess there’s a romantic in all of us.

Kareena and Katrina combo certainly set the box office on fire






Kambakkht Ishq and New York earning big bucks at the box office, the race for Bollywood’s top slot has just got hotter. But instead of making sarcastic jibes, tinsel town’s leading ladies seem to have formed a mutual admiration society.

In a recent interview Katrina Kaif said she was ‘nowhere near Kareena Kapoor as a performer’. Katrina’s act of diplomacy seems to have gone down very well with Miss Kapoor.

The usually frank Bebo who has in the past rubbed many actresses the wrong way, acknowledged all the flattery from Katrina.

Incidentally Katrina Kaif also endorses another line designed by the same company. When asked about Katrina she said, I am very grateful and thankful to Katrina for all the nice things she has said about me. Bebo said she was in no way envious of Katrina and the host of endorsements in her kitty.
