Sonam Kapoor
The sizzling Sonam Kapoor, made a guest appearance in a T.V show recently. But very few people might know this that Sonam has had a really long time crush on Shaan- the very versatile singer.
For the promotion of her latest film ‘Aisha’, she had come on the sets of Chhote Ustaad. Chhote Ustaad is talent hunts show where in little kids showcase their singing skills.
Coincidently, Shaan was also was called on the show to make an appearance. The actress was at her best when she was on the sets of the talent show. Last Friday was the day when ‘Aisha’ was released and she was looking quite excited about her movie.
Sonam was sitting exactly next to the singer and was seen blushing big time according to people from the sets of the show. She admitted that she used to have a big crush on Shaan and has found herself quite lucky to sit next to him and judge the show.”

It was quite a surprise for everyone to see her in traditional outfit, considering her close association with big brands nowadays.
Deepika Padukone with Siddharth Mallya
Their many appearances in public together and constant photos suggest many things, don’t they?
Rumors have that it all started in April, when Deepika was seen in Sidhartha’s VIP box. This was during the IPL matches when his team, the Bangalore Royal Challengers was playing. Deepika was like an additional brand ambassador despite the presence of Katrina Kaif, both of whom was cheering their team to good effect.
But apart from professional commitments, there was something personal attention given by the both of them. Sources say that only Deepika was believed to take time to think about the proposal and thinking about her decision to commit. The 24-year-old scintillating actress is still taking her time from her break up with Ranbir Kapoor. She isn’t really very keen to just jump into another relationship and that too that early as reports of their break up was just on the go.
There have been efforts to patch the two earlier, by their friends but nothing worked out. That is why Deepika and Ranbir never got together after that. And after her much needed break of around one month she has given a serious thought to her new found love, according to her close friend. The source also told that Deepika went to London after her busy schedule for the Mauritius grand prix, where they actually kind of got resurfaced everything. There is buzz in the industry that the two are a couple now.
Celina Jaitley
She was at the Kolkata airport and there were the Central Industrial Security Force (CIFS) jawans doing their ordered service. But according to Celina one of the jawans tried to misbehave with her.
She was carrying a costly branded bag and had asked for a tray to the airport authorities as she does it everywhere else in India and is quite used to it. So that she could get her bag pass through all the customs and intense security checks.
After sometime that she placed her bag on the tray, a jawan picked it up and banged it on the conveyor belt. This apparently damaged her bag That damaged the skin of the bag (which was rather too costly approximately worth Rs.1.25 lac).
According to the beautiful brunette actor, this wasn’t the end of it all. After this she tried to speak to the jawans regarding the event and spoke in Bengali with him, but the arrogant jawan carried on his behavior and supposedly told her not to talk in Bengali and said “Madam, yahan Bengali nahin chalti!”
A disgusted looking Celina was certainly very annoyed with this and was very upset about the whole incident. “Are we not allowed to speak in a language that we are comfortable in? Is every person supposed to speak in English?” is what she asked the authorities.
Troubled by this, she instantly logged a complaint about the entire incident to the management. But, four or five guys amongst the jawans ganged up on her and again started misbehaving and ridiculing her for having carried such a costly bag.
Rani Mukherjee
Currently, Rani is shooting for Rajendra Gupta’s ‘No One Killed Jessica,’ along with Vidya Balan. One of her close filmmaker friends says, “She goes to the studios only when required. Other than that, she has stopped communicating with all of us. I have tried to get her to come out for a movie or have dinner with us but she does not respond.”
Though her friends understand her very well that Rani needs her space right now, but they all are concerned about her and her reclusive behavior. They sincerely hope that this is just a temporary phase and Rani is not joining the ranks of some of the senior actresses like Tabu and Rekha who spend more time behind their locked doors than required.
Priyanka, Ranbir
This car is specially designed for the film in which these two actors travel everyday, in fact, they have made this car their second home. Our very own Piggy Chops has named this car as ‘Blush’ and Ranbir has made a special junk food compartment in this car. Priyanka used to play her I-Pod on the speakers of the car and both the actors would spend a lot of time in this car.
A close source said, “The car plays a very important role in the movie and many scenes have been shot inside it. It was previously known as Sunflower, but no one on the sets liked that name.”
The car has suddenly become an integral part of Ranbir and Priyanka’s life on the sets of Anjaana Anjaani. Priyanka was the one who suggested the name ‘blush’ and everyone loved it. Both the actors would treat their car as a human being and most of the crewmembers would join them in that. The two actors decorate and clean the car as well.
When asked Siddharth Anand about this he said, “Yes it is true. It is a vintage car and is called blush. It belongs to Priyanka’s character and it has to go along with her emotions. Priyanka spends most of her time in the car and she hangs her clothes and toothbrush in the car. The car is the third character of the movie and that is why I have used it in the film posters too. Since the car is supposed to be really messy in the film both Ranbir and Priyanka had fun trashing it further, the car traveled from New York to Las Vegas and then to San Fransico. Fortunately, it did not break down.”
The car also had a special space for Ranbir’s books, when the junk food in the car did not take all of the space. Siddharth also said, “Only after making all these additions these two actors feel comfortable in the car.”
Lafangey Parindey movie still
Don’t be taken away by the rough promos of Lafangey Parindey, Neil would rather describe it as a gritty love story instead. Neil Nitin Mukesh says, “My character in this movie is One Shot Nandu. He is a regular boy who is rebellious and ambitious and likes making his decisions on his own”.
What we are more interested in, is knowing about Neil’s love story in real life rather than his reel life love story. The actor, who broke off with his girlfriend back some time, is back on the single track. “But I do believe whole-heartedly in love and relationships,” he smile fully adds up.
The new relationship in his real life seems to have started forming with his leading lady from film Lafangey Parindey. But before you get any ideas in your mind, It is good to know that, Neil and Deepika really are very good friends. The actress has been going around city telling everyone about possessive Neil, that how great the light-eyed actor is. On the other hand, Neil also can’t stop talking about his gorgeous co-star. While he says “But I would rather like to talk about her as a person than as an actor,” he adds, “I keep telling her that her cute smile is one curved line that makes everything in this world go straight.” Neil describes Deepika as a cool, easy-going and simple girl.
“I am the one who feels real protective and possessive about her. She’s now a part of my family” the talented actor tells our reporter. Well now when Deepika has been the first actress to be kissed on-screen by Neil Nitin Mukesh who is quite shy in his real life, utna huq toh banta hai possessive Neil ka, we guess! What say Deepika?
Genelia D'souza
Buzz in B town is that, recently the actor-director duo was spotted at a coffee shop in a Mumbai suburban absorbed in a detailed conversation. Though nothing has been confirmed as yet, but the chances are quite high about Genelia being a part of Imtiaz Ali’s new film.
Genelia’s last super hit film was Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Naa which was produced by legendary actor, Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood Aamir khan to launch his nephew. Since then it has been more than two years she has not delivered a hit. Though she was a part of 2009’s average performer at the box office, the multi-starrer Life Partner, but it did not provide much visibility and notification to her. Working with Imtiaz Ali will surely give a boost to chubby Genelia’s career, which she desperately needs.
Well it would be nothing less than a treat for movie lovers to see Genelia in Imtiaz’s new Movie.
Deepika Padukone
Deepika has turned around her image as a sexy and bold actress for director Ashutosh Gowarikar’s new project Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se which is based on life of a Bengali freedom fighter Kalpana Dutta who was from Chittagong. Deepika will be seen in an era of around 1930’s. Deepika is very much excited for performing this role as she says, “Kalpana Dutta was among the first women freedom fighters of India. She was strong, feisty and a total revolutionary patriot”. Also “Saree makes a lady look more sexy” are the words of Deepika in a latest interview! We think this is the reason why Deepika turns to saree. Well it looks like she is already enjoying this bicycle ride!
The film is jointly produced by Sunita A Gowariker along with Ajay and Sanjeev Bijli. The film will be based on “DO and Die” the book written by Manini Chatterji, Kalpana Dutta’s daughter in law. This would be an epic freedom fighting period thriller. The film will be presented by PVR and AGPPL pictures. Acting opposite Deepika will be Chote B Abhishek Bachchan.
Director Ashutosh Gowarikar said that the reason behind casting Deepika is that she will bring much energy to the character of Kalpana Dutta. The music composer of the movie is Sohail Sen and the beautiful lyrics of the legendary lyricists of Javed Akhtar will add up to the beauty of the movie. Leading fashion designer Neeta Lulla has designed the costumes.
The film is being shot in Goa as well as Mumbai. Also the temporary release date of movie has been also scheduled as December 3. So guys if you see Deepika pedaling cycle in Mumbai when dressed up in Bengali cotton saree don’t get surprised!
Priyanka in Saat Khoon Maaf
Sources report that Priyanka Chopra’s father Dr Ashok Chopra failed to recognize her in her make-up as an old woman. On that particular day, Priyanka was shooting a sequence with legendary actor Naseeruddin Shah in which she was playing a 65-year-old woman. In Saat Khoon Maaf which is director Vishal Bhardwaj’s upcoming film, Priyanka is playing roles for ladies from 17 years old to 65 years old. Professional make-up artists have been hired and specially flown down from Australia to create all these various looks. The make-up artist had done such a fabulous job with Priyanka, that she looked very older with her wrinkled hands and feet, it feels like she had been actually transformed into an old woman.
Saat Khoon Maaf is a Hindi Drama, Black Comedy and thriller film being directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, starring Priyanka Chopra in the title role. Saat Khoon Maaf is based on Susanna’s Seven Husbands a book by Ruskin Bond, about a woman who bumps off her seven spouses. We must say we are so excited and would like to see 65 years old Priyanka on screen. Well, best of luck Desi Girl!
Kareena Kapoor
He is famous for giving glam dolls of Bollywood a milestone in their career. After giving Priyanka Chopra Fashion and Bipasha Basu Corporate, this National Award winning filmmaker, Madhur Bhandarkar, claims that his new movie will lead Kareena to best film in her career. “Kareena has been wanting to work with me for quite a long time. But due to some reasone we had not been able to team up. She blindly trusts me and my talent and the feeling is mutual,” said Madhur Bhandarkar.
The film will hit the floors in December, and is already making buzz that Madhur is planning to give Kareena a new look. He wants to give Kareena iconic looks of all the Hollywood legendary actresses like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh and Eva Gardner. “This is going to be Kareena’s best performance of her life. I can guarantee that. She is a talented artist and she will be in her full bloom in this one,” added Madhur.
This 41 year old director completed his degree in film-making, when he was a video delivery boy. He always wanted to cover women issues and that has been his trademark in the industry. “People in industry are afraid to raise these issues. They think that it would not generate any interest in the audience. But, I am here to prove this notion wrong. All my films have had strong women characters and they have been liked by people,” said Bhandarkar. Talking about his strong female characters, Madhur says that all his heroines have thanked me for their roles. “Every time I meet Konkona she mentions how peope recognize her as Page 3 actress. Same is the case with Bipasha and Priyanka. It is nice to hear such things. I am equally proud to have worked with these actresses,” said Madhur.
However, before he starts shooting for another women centric movie, he is excited about his debut comedy movie Dil To Bacha Hai Ji, which is inspired by Gulzar’s lyrics in the film Ishqiya. He is working with an unusual star cast; Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi and Omi Vaidya. Madhur said that this movie will be a tribute to the famous comedian Hrishikesh Mukherjee and ensures that the audience will be surprised. He said, “Ajay is playing a husband, having constant nok jhok with his wife, Emraan plays a carefree Casanova while Omi’s character is a surprise.” The filmmaker is still looking for heroines for this movie. The audience will now get a taste of Madhur Bhandarkar’s comedy this December.
Saif’s look in Agent
Vinod inspired by
Matt Damon
Vinod inspired by
Matt Damon
Saif has lost heaps of weight, changed his hairstyle and has redesigned his complete body language to play the role of a spy in his home production movie, Agent Vinod. His new look for the movie is inspired by the famous Hollywood star Matt Damon. A close friend os Saif said, “If Shahid Kapoor in his dad’s film Mausam has modeled his look on Tom Cruise in Top Gun, Saif’s role model for Agent Vinod is Matt Damon in Bourne Identity.”
The actor was very careful in avoiding all the cameras and paparazzi this week because he did not want to reveal his new look already. However, when Aamir Khan invited him to a party at his place last weekend, Saif’s concealed look was out in the media. On the evening when he was leaving for Morocco, he completely revamped his look and was in hiding until he had to leave the country.
Aalim Hakim has done this special hairstyle. He chopped off Saif’s long hair that he had been sporting since six months. Saif wanted this haircut at the final moment until his departure to Morocco. Saif was unavailable for any comments on his new avatar, but his ladylove let his secret out by saying, “Saif has never looked cooler. He has lost nine kilos in three months. He is all toned and has rippling muscles.”
“He had long hair for so long that I had forgotten how dashing he looks in short hair. Saif has got his hair cropped really short, that is all I can tell you about his Agent Vinod look. He got it done a couple of days back. Since then he has been reluctant to step out of his house,” Kareena added.
Saif did not want to reveal his look to anyone and so he didn’t reveal it to his family as well. Only Kareena could see it until Aamir’s party. When asked about this, she laughed and said, “I got to see it because I am his co-star in the movie. Aki Narula is doing my look for Agent Vinod. I don’t think I have ever looked the way I would in Agent Vinod. As for Saif, he looks like a Hollywood star in this film. I can’t take my eyes off him.”
Kareena-Kapoor
Lolo is very busy these days with her back to back shooting schedules, it has become impossible for her to take time out for her sister Karisma’s birthday. In fact, she has become so busy that Kareena’s mother is packing her bags for her further schedules. When asked Kareena about this she said, “I am shooting in Hyderabad till June 23. I land in Mumbai at 9 pm and from the domestic airport, go to international terminal. I board a flight to Marrakech, Morocco for Saif’s Agent Vinod in a couple of hours after that. It has been so hectic that I won’t have time to go home and pack my stuff. In fact, I have asked to pack all my stuff and meet me at the airport.” Kareena is very sad that she will not be there for Karisma’s birthday. “I have asked Lolo and Samaira to come to the airport for half an hour so we can sit and chat in the car. I don’t know if Samiara can come so late at night but I would love to have her come. I am feeling terrible that I won’t see her for more than a month,” added Bebo. Kareena is very busy till the year end. She said, “I have three films to complete Golmaal 3, Ra.One and Agent Vinod. Then Madhur’s film will start in December. Then I am endorsing 11 brands and have performed at every award show this year. In September and October, I get busy with the promotion of Golmaal 3 and Karan’s Stepmom. I have requested Sharukh to keep a schedule of Ra.One in Mumbai so I can be there for promoting and he has agreed.” Lately there has been a buzz that Kareena is signed for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next project Heera Mandi. Looks like Lola has her hands full!
Aamir-Khan
The Argentine music composer Gustavo Santaolalla is in town to work with Aamir’s wife Kiran Rao’s on her upcoming movie Dhobi Ghaat. The famous composer for the movie Brokeback Mountain received a warm hospitality by Aamir Khan, who is taking care that his guest does not feel homesick. Except for spending time along with Gustavo, Aamir cancelled his entire work commitments and organized a football screening at his own house. The actor asked everyone to stop the shooting and head to his place for a match of Korea vs. Argentina.
A source close to the actor said, “When it comes to work, Aamir never cancels or skips his meetings. In fact, his whole schedule is planned a day in advance. But he made an exception for his Argentina guest. And since Gustavo’s country was playing Aamir decided to organize a match screening and cheer for Argentina.”
Aamir wanted to sit during the subtitling of the Peepli Live, but when his guest expressed that he wants to see the match, Aamir cancelled all his appointments for the day. “Aamir got a huge screen with popcorns and starters. He wanted to create a party atmosphere and called all his staff to leave their work and attend the screening,” added the source.
Ranbir and Shammi Kapoor
Imtiaz Ali is back with a new story and the stars of the yester year.

Shammi will be returning to the sliver screen to make a guest appearance in the movie of his grandnephew Ranbir. Imtiaz is making his next movie Rockstar along with Ranbir Kapoor.
A close source revealed, “It was not easy to get Shammiji to agree with a role in the movie. Due to his medical conditions, he undergoes dialysis thrice a week. However, Imtiaz has made all arrangements so that the veteran star is able to shoot comfortably. The schedule with Shammiji will take seven days to film. Since he is not in a condition to shoot at a stretch, Imitiaz has decided to shoot his scenes in bits and parts. So, Shammiji will take a break after every day of shooting.”
Shammi Kapoor was very surprised when asked about this role. He said politely, “My dear, nothing has been finalized yet. We are working out the possibilities, given my circumstances.” Shammi was certainly very excited about working with Ranbir Kapoor and said, “I would love to do this role if I was healthy. Ranbir is a superb actor, wonderful dancer, talented and handsome. I am proud to be his grand uncle.”
The day they both share the screen together will be a very historic moment for the entire Kapoor clan. The fans of Shammi Kapoor will definitely come to watch their superstar on screen again.

Sunil Shetty

When asked what Sunil’s conditions he said were, “The financials are in place and it is a very cost-effective. The fees range from various schemes beginning from Rs. 399 to 500 and 999 a month. The gym is for senior citizens and children between ages of 4-17 too. It is a complete concept for me and what I say makes a difference.”
There will be trained nutritionists and dieticians who will monitor everything. They also have kitchens for moms to cook in, cooking academy, centralized kitchen for serving breakfast, with lunch and dinner. None of the gyms in India has all these facilities. Sunil Shetty dreams of making this country obesity free.
The actor also said, “The Indian cricket team has access to TRX training. TRX training has two cables and is freehand. It is exercising with your own body weight and it is very difficult. The good thing about TRX is that you can carry the cables everywhere when you travel. I am hooked onto TRX tracks and work out regularly six days a week at the gym in my building.”
Asin, Salman
Asin is to work opposite Salman Khan again after London Dreams! A source revealed that Asin has bagged the role instead of Deepika Padukone in Anees Bazmee film.

The original movie is a Telugu film with Ram and Genelia in the lead roles. It was one the highest grossing film in the south in 2008. Bhushan Kumar confirmed the news saying, “Yes, we are producing the film and it goes on floor in June. Talks are on but I cannot comment on the casting.”
Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor for the first time will be portraying a tomboyish character in her upcoming movie Golmaal 3, which is directed by Rohit Shetty. When the director was writing the story of this movie, he thought of giving Kareena’s glamorous image a break and offer an unusual role. He wanted her to be a part of the boy’s gang, which comprises of Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Kunal Khemu, Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade.
A close source revealed, “Kareena will sport casual wear in this film. No designer dresses, shoes and bags for her. She will play a badass who spouts abusive tapori language and rides around on a bike. She will be seen doing dadagiri like boys in the gang.” When asked about the role, Bebo she said, “My look in Golmaal 3 is non-glamorous. It is young and grunge, keeping the weather and look of Goa in mind. I play a tomboy but with a feminine touch. Though I will be using tapori language, it will not be too abusive or vulgar. It will be well in tone with my persona.”
When asked was about this news Rohit Shetty, he confirmed and said, “I wanted to give Kareena a new image with this movie. She is one of the boys in the film, and will be sporting minimal make-up. She is talking with Manish Malhotra and they will come up with the right look for the part. I have tried not to make her use too much foul language or abusive lingo. Her whole look and hair will be undergoing a thorough change. Her character in the film is not that rich. We are looking forward to teaching Bebo some exciting language. She has already become a goonda now.”
