Bollywood’s latest hot property features on the cover page of Filmfare July 2008 edition. For Vidya Balan, this is the third time that she’s become the cover-girl of this popular film magazine. Looking hot and sizzling in her all new glam look, the single-and-contemplating-if-to-mingle , arrived late at the launch of the issue. This time she had the rain gods to blame. Dressed in a black dress, it seemed like she is finally getting close to being stylish.
Talking about the various allegations thrust on her, according to the southern siren, the most absurd gossip was her decision to get a tattoo done. She laughed, “That was the most baseless rumour I’ve come across.” Always in the news for her varied ‘alleged’ love interests, perhaps its time for her to retaliate as many of her counterparts are doing. Ask her which medium she would choose and she says, “I have started getting on to the net, checking blogs. I am beginning to enjoy it as a new world has opened now
” So do we see another star venting out her frustration via blogging? Perhaps yes. Vidya says, “I love to write. So may be if I had a little more time in hand, I will (blog).”

Soha Ali Khan in film on sexual politics
Irrfan Khan and Soha Ali Khan have paired up for a film that is meant strictly for adults.
The Anil Sharma movie, titled Dil Kabaddi , is a tale of sexual politics, adultery and extra-marital affairs. Basically, it highlights the lack of loyalty in relationships.
Irrfan’s character in the film is that of a cool executive who isn’t satisfied with his female partner and keeps looking for sexual and emotional gratification elsewhere. It is a full-on promiscuous character with no regrets or apologies.
In fact, this role was initially supposed to be played by Rahul Bose and Irrfan was approached to play a professor. But Irrfan liked the promiscuous character so much that he insisted on playing it. Incidentally, Rahul also liked the character of professor and happily swapped roles with Irrfan.
Irrfan minces no words in saying that the film is “strictly for adults”.
However, the movie will not have much skin show by the lead actress Soha Ali Khan.
“Only the situations in the plot have sexual connotations. There is no skin exposure as such in the film,” says a source.

Ayesha Takia to get rid of her plus heavy sized breasts
Gorgeous Ayesha would soon be losing the assets she has been known for. This Bolly-babe is having a lot of problems due to the boob job which she had done few years ago. After this surgery this gorgeous gal surely gained plus sized breasts but the actress is now thinking of reducing it back to normal.
Sources reveal that due to heavy sized breasts she is having a lot of pain on her shoulders. This is the reason why doctors have advised this diva to go through a surgery and reduce her bust size. The actress may have won best debutant award in 2004 for Tarzan: The Wonder Car, but in her long career of four years it’s only 2006 release Dor that her acting talent were been appreciated by both the critics and masses.
We would have to wait and see whether this surgery would bring luck back to her or it would affect the beauty and career of this wonder girl in some other way. Meanwhile the surgery is scheduled to take place in next month at Lilavati hospital.
Hope Ayesha has consulted her boyfriend Farhan Azmi before signaling green to the doctors.

Shreya Saran's Sleepless nights
Shreya is finding it hard to sleep after getting back to town on completion of her shooting schedule for Tamil film Kandswami. I can guess that your thought process is skyrocketing with several points that should be working behind Shreya’s sleeplessness. Firstly, she maybe too excited about her film, secondly maybe the reason that she is anxious about the film and third, which is very obvious with glam babes, she maybe in love.
As normally we associate sleepless nights with love there is no harm in thinking that Shreya must be in the cloud nine with some handsome hunk from south.
But quite unfortunately, the story over hare is little different. Her insomnia isn’t related to falling in love with someone but the reason behind it is shooting in Mexico. We are all aware of the time difference of 10 hours between India and Mexico. That means when moon is seen in India, people in Mexico are getting ready to start another day.
Returning from 25 days schedule in Mexico poor Shreya is finding it hard to get adjusted with the IST (Indian Standard Time). The schedule has completely changed her bio-clock. Throughout the night she can’t sleep and on the other hand a rising sun tolls the sleeping bell for this Bolly-babe and she bids goodnight (if allowed) to the entire world.
Shreya says that it would take another couple of days to get adjusted with this natural phenomenon. Until then the actress has no other options than to count the stars looking at the dark sky.

Vishakha Singh :A Producer asked me to sleep with him
Her maiden film as an actress - Hum Sey Hai Jahaan bombed at the box office, but then pretty, dark and smart Vishakha Singh is not unduly perturbed by the fate of the film for the simple reason that even before Hum Sey Hai Jahaan was complete, she had bagged two more films - Abhijeet Sengupta's Do Aur Do Paanch and Venkatesh Naidu's Coffee Shop, which are also being readied for an early release.
Born and brought up in Abu Dhabi, Vishakha, who was the cultural captain while she studied in school, is a beauty with brains, having graduated in Business Administration in New Delhi. Vishakha confesses that it was sheer boredom with her internship in a couple of ad agencies that prompted her to try her hands at modeling.
Vishakha continues confessing that her acting stint had actually started right from home when she had lied to her strict father that she wanted to go to Mumbai to do theatre because he was not in favor of letting her act in films.
Vishakha concedes that though it is easy to get offers to act in ad films after giving the auditions, to face the camera and emote and lose one's inhibitions to a blank lens which is just a piece which does not respond to you is quite a tough task.
"Though I did not learn acting by joining any acting academy, I am glad I was able to understand the medium by facing the camera for ad films.
Though as far as acting was concerned, I was 10 when I embarked on a career in acting, today I feel I can rate myself 4 out of 10, " Vishakha quips.
Though Vishakha has not acted in any TV serial till date, she says that all the credit for having made her an actress ought to go to Balaji Telefilms which had auditioned her for a role in their popular serial Kasauti Zindagi Ki.
"I was given a two page long dialogue for the scene in which Prerna loses her son. After I had done the scene, I went on crying and was asked to report for the shoot from the next day.
However I decided that I could not suffer doing such scenes for 25 days every month and politely declined the role of Aparna who ends up marrying Mr Basu, " explains Vishakha.
However, Vishakha says that she does not regret having said no to act in TV serials.
"TV is a very open medium. Touchwood, if my films do not do well at the box office, I am one hundred per cent confident that television is one medium which would still welcome me, with open arms.
I do not mean to look down upon TV. It is just that as of now I want to concentrate all my attention on making a career as an actress in Bollywood, " Vishakha explores her world of hope.
Whether in Hum Sey Hai Jahaan or Do Aur Do Paanch or for that matter Coffee Shop, Vishakha says that she has made it a point not to expose at all, though it is the latest mantra in Bollywood.
"Losing one's inhibitions does not at all mean that one should bare one's clothes but emotions. It is only the director and the script which can convince me as far as agreeing to expose on the screen is concerned, " bold goes the rising star.
What is Vishakha's take on exposure? I ask Viashakha. She shoots back, "I have a lot of pride in me.
When I saw Esha Deol appear in a skimpy bikini in Dhoom, my heart sank, because I realized that I stood no chance of saying no to getting into a bikini, if Esha who is from the film industry had to do it. I am not at all a prude.
Though I had turned down Arjun Sablok's offer to cast me in Niel N Niki in the role in which he had eventually cast Tanisha, because he could not convince me to expose my cleavage almost throughout the film, I'd readily do a lip to lip kissing scene like Rani did in Black if the scene changes the entire narration like it did in Black."
Is she scared of the syndrome of the casting couch? I ask her.
Without batting her eye lids, she replies, "I am not scared at all of the casting couch, because I'd slap the person if someone makes an attempt, though I do not deny that it does exist.
A Telugu film producer told me on my face to sleep with him if I wanted to act in his film, but he was lucky because I had politely walked out, since I was new then, long before I bagged the offer for my first film."
In Do Aur Do Paanch, Vishakha plays a typical tapori girl since the film, in her own admission, is a take off on Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, a comedy action film, which has Salman Khan doing a special appearance though the flick has no love triangle at all.
In Coffee Shop, Vishakha plays the role of a painter. "It is about the struggle of the girl who wants to go to the New York School of Fine Arts. Though in real life, I also dabble with painting as a hobby, I am not a M. F. Hussain in real life, though I could identify with the journey of the character that I am playing in Coffee Shop to a large extent, " Vishakha casts light on her character.
When she met Mashoor Amrohi who has not only played the leading man in Hum Sey Hai Jahaan but also produced, directed, written and choreographed the film, Vishakha says that she could easily gel with him because they belonged to the same age group and there was no communication gap.
"I was relieved to make my debut with a banner which was known to present women in a dignified way", Vishakha quips and adds that it was a big advantage to her that Mashoor, besides being the leading man, was also the director of the film since she did not have to necessarily look tom the director behind the camera.
Inrterestingly Vishakha's name was suggested by the unit of Chak De India after she had been rejected by Shimit Amin when she auditioned for the role eventually played in the film by Vidya Malavade, because Shimit did not find her suitable for the matured character.
Vishakha says that her wish list is to act in films like Black and Cheeni Kum since she is a die-hard fan of Rani Mukerjee, Kajol, Tabu, Vidya Balan and Minissha Lamba ("I like Minisha's choice of films") as far as actresses are concerned though her staunch favorite among the actors is none other than Hrithik Roshan. "I dote on Hrithik Roshan because he is so devoted to his work", she concludes.

Riya Sen - now just an item
She was last seen as a leading lady way back in 2006 when she appeared opposite Shreyas Talpade in Apna Sapna Money Money. The film was a success but Riya Sen was in mood to get into a signing spree.
Waiting patiently for the right roles to come her way, the pretty young girl who has also been seen in successful films like Shaadi No. 1, Plan, Qayamat, Jhankaar Beats and last but not the least Style, has been keeping herself busy by being a part of item songs.
Her mini appearance amongst a horde of girls was definitely noticed as she burnt the dance floor in the sizzling title song from the film Heyy Babyy (2007).
The song turned out to be a chartbuster and Riya was noticed once again in spite of presence of a dozen odd sexy sirens like Celina Jaitley, Koena Mitra and Amisha Patel alongst others.
Now she has got a platform set for herself to make a further impression with the film Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein where she has got an entire item song shot exclusively on her.
Titled 'Sajan Mera', a number where Riya is seen in yet another sizzling avtar of hers, it also features the film's lead Sarwar Ahuja who appears to be all pensive and troubled as per the demand of the situation in the song.
Along with Sarwar, who had debuted with Khanna & Iyer last year, the film also stars Tabassum's grand daughter Khushi who would be making her debut as a leading lady. The film is produced by Rajesh Gupta and directed by Manish Goel.
Incidentally Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein was recently in news since the makers had gone on record to state that Riya wasn't cooperating with them for the promotion of the film.
Apparently Riya, who has a cameo role in Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein, felt that the makers only wanted to cash in on her name and popularity to promote the film. This is why she was demanding close to Rs 3 lakh just to promote the film.
Though there hasn't been an official word on this from Riya, the makers have made it clear that they won't bow down to her demands since the film's promotion was planned with an extremely tight budget due to Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein being a small-budget film.

Katrina's Sexy Steps
For what seems to be the first time, Katrina Kaif was recently seen shying away from sporting a dance costume, which she found too short for her comfort.
While shooting for the title track of Singh is Kinng , which is being choreographed for Remo Fernandez, she had dance steps that required her to bend forward several times. And this made Katrina too conscious.
Sensing that she was uncomfortable in that particular outfit, Remo tried to assure her that the steps would not look vulgar on-screen. Remo said, “Yes, Katrina was apprehensive while doing a particular sequence. I had to cajole her into it because it was a beautiful dance step.”
Finally, Remo made one of his female assistants, who was dressed in the same outfit, do the exact steps. After seeing that, Katrina gave it a try and it turned out so well, that she repeated it several times.
Remo added, “Once Katrina was comfortable, she pulled it off really well.”

Amrita Rao's Wonderfull gift
Receiving three paintings dedicated to herself by the great artist MF Hussain himself as a birthday gift has not only upped her asset portfolio but also ‘humbled her’.
However, there are other things that make the girl happy, too. Apparently, when she was shooting in Peru, South America, recently, she was taken aback when a group of locals rushed to her for an autograph, and their mobiles went click, click, click.
That’s not all. They insisted that she see the photos that they had of her on their mobiles. “Some even had her picture as their screensaver,” we are told. Now how on earth did this Amrita craze hit Peru?
It was her film Vivaah that did the trick. They loved the movie, and what they loved even more was their Poonam (played by Amu) in it.
Wonder if Vivaah co-star Shahid will draw as much fan-following as Peru’s Bollywood pari? Test ho jaye , Shahid?

Kisser boy Emran Hashmi is responsible for change in Sexy Kangana Ranaut
Shooting for Razz2 has made Kangana Ranaut a god fearing person. Actually one can say that more than Razz2 kisser boy Emran Hashmi is responsible in bringing this sudden change in Kangana’s nature. Basically while shooting for the film her co-star Emraan played such a lot of scary pranks on the actress due to which she became spiritual to overcome her fears. Kangana recently while sharing her experiences said that she comes from a family who believes in the all mighty but the pranks played by Emraan has made her more spiritual and now she never misses her morning prayers.
Apart from Raaz2 this gorgeous babe is also looking forward to Madhur Bhadarkar’s Fashion to be released this year. Then she has Raksesh Roshan’s Kites and T series Happy New Year in her kitty at her future projects. Adding to these is also an American production companies Romeo And Juliet.
Seems God has really been extra kind towards this spiritual girl.

Nagesh Kukunoor's 'Dor', a poignant tale of two women:Ayesha Takia
Young and chirpy actress Ayesha Takia considers Nagesh Kukunoor's 'Dor', a poignant tale of two women, as the path-breaking film of her career. She says after the movie, people started taking her seriously as an actor.
'After 'Dor', viewers showed the confidence that I could play serious roles too and so I was offered roles in films like 'Eight By Ten' and 'Wanted' and many other big movies,' Ayesha told.
Ayesha is on the verge of completing another Kukunoor film titled 'Eight By Ten'.
'Ten days of shooting is left. It also stars Akshay Kumar,' said Ayesha who plays Akshay's wife in the supernatural thriller.
Her next release is 'De Taali', which will be showcased at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards, starting June 6 in Bangkok.
Talking about the film, the dimpled actress said: 'The character is totally in contrast to what I am in actual life. I play Ammu who is a complete tomboy. She is a complete brat and grows up with Aftab Shivdasani and Reitesh Deshmukh. She does what normally guys do.'
Apart from 'De Taali', she has Boney Kapoor's 'Wanted Dead And Alive', which marks southern dancing superstar Prabhu Deva's entry into Hindi films as director.
The film is a remake of Tamil film 'Pokkiri', which was also directed by Prabhu Deva. In the action movie, Ayesha is paired with Salman Khan. Mahesh Manjrekar and Om Puri too feature in key roles.
The actress is also doing Ahmed Khan's film on four children titled 'Pathshala' where she and Shahid Kapur play teachers.
Though 'Tarzan - The Wonder Car', for which she won the best debutant actress award in 2004, was released before 'Socha Na Tha,' Ayesha considers Imtiaz Ali's romantic comedy as her debut film.
She said: ''Socha Na Tha' will always be my first film and close to my heart. 'Tarzan' was an entertaining film but 'Socha Naa Tha' had a lot of space for acting.'
Was she approached for Imtiaz's second film 'Jab We Met'?
'Initially, Bobby and I were supposed to do the film, but the dates did not work out between us. But, I look forward to working with Imtiaz.'
The actress faced the camera for the first time when she was four years old for an ad and later she did quite a few commercials and music videos.
How difficult was it to gain entry into films? 'It was not at all difficult. I did not go looking for work. Imtiaz went through my audition tapes and called me to his office.'
Ayesha feels that making an entry is not at all difficult if one has the talent and is ready to work hard.
So far Ayesha has worked mainly with new directors - does she have a preference for them?
'I don't have any preferences and I cannot afford it. It is just that the offers came from them. And it is always an exciting experience as new directors are always enthusiastic and hard working and give everything for the project as they know that their life depends on the project.'
Did she plan to be an actress as a child?
'I was raised in a normal Gujarati style with all the restrictions and reservations. As far as plans are concerned, I did not have plans to become an actress in my childhood.'
About a favourite co-star, Ayesha said: 'I am not being diplomatic, I enjoyed working with all of them. Also, I am a very professional type of person. I finish my work and go home. I have no favourites, I enjoyed working with all of them.'
Apparently Ayesha makes producers sign a contract on her reservations about intimate and steamy scenes.
She said: 'Yes, I do sign a contract with every producer and mother has nothing to do with it. I have lived life according to my own principles and ideologies and I adhere to it.'
The 23-year-old has done various roles ranging from comedy to serious characters, but prefers romantic movies.
'I would like to do romantic films most and my second preference would be serious roles. Though I am not comfortable with stunts, I would definitely like to do an action film like 'Tomb Raider'.'
She is dating Farhan Azmi and has started a boutique hotel business with him, but has no immediate plans to marry him.
'I want to work and don't have any plans to marry now.'
Shilpa Shetty married?
Shilpa Shetty has finally revealed details about her relationship with married businessman Raj Kundra. Talking to an Indian newspaper, the former Celebrity Big Brother winner says, “Well, he’s helping me out with my production house. He’s a great businessman and knows the nitty-gritties of a business which I’m not so well-versed with.”
She then went on to disclose that she does intend to marry Raj, but has a few things to take care of before. “I can’t give out all the details like date, time and venue. But yes, I’ll announce it when the time is right. I have decided to settle down after marriage and take it easy. But before that happens, I want to give it my best and try out everything so I have no regrets of missing out on anything later.”

I am still dating:Amrita Arora
There are constant speculations about Amrita Arora’s personal life, especially pertaining to her London-based cricketer boyfriend, Usman Afzaal. “Let me set the record straight. Every three weeks I hear that I have broken up with Usman, but that is not true at all. I am still dating him. And we are very happy together,” clarifies Amrita.
So how does she maintain the spark in the long distance relationship? “It is not easy to maintain a long distance relationship, but if you know your commitment level and trust each other, then it is not that difficult.
You just have to set your priorities right,” she says.
Amrita of late is not seen in her Dilli Ki Sardi type of item numbers. Why? “Firstly, I hate the term ‘item number’. However, it does not imply that I am averse to the idea of doing them. If I get an offer to do a song that really excites me, then maybe I will take it up. I sign only those projects that interest me,” she says.
Amrita has a string of releases this year. “I am doing Atul Agnihotri’s Hello starring Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Sohail Khan. Then there is a sequel to Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal, where I play Ajay Devgan’s sister. I am also doing Samir Karnik’s Heroes, which stars Sohail Khan, Riya Sen and Vatsal Seth. Finally, I am also doing a guest appearance in Ravi Chopra’s Pappu Pass Ho Gaya,” says the pretty actress, who is all set for the next schedule of Golmaal in Bangkok next month.

Sexy's Riya & Raima Sen together On screen
Riya and Raima Sen are coming together….and as sisters…in Vicky Chopra's Seasons Greetings.
The episodic film directed by Vicky Chopra will apparently have six stories all coming together in unexpected ways.
The two sisters are not too willing to discuss the project.
Raima shooting in Italy says, "Yes Riya and I are finally coming together as sisters.
But I'm yet to hear the script, though I've given the nod. Though she's quite mad we're very much alike in most respects."
Riya speaking about the project earlier has said, "Raima and I stay together in Mumbai. There is not a thing that we don't share. All our friends are common. If she likes someone, so do I. And if I dislike someone, she doesn't have a choice. Our friends say we should've been twins."
The sisters had offers earlier to act together.
"But we were pretty sure that that if and when we come together it would have to be as sisters," said Riya.
Interestingly when Shilpa and her sis Shamita came together it was to play soutens Deepak Tijori's Fareb.

Sexy Mumait Khan is very busy!
Mumait Khan has been keeping a low profile these days.
The reason we found out is that she's been busy shooting for her upcoming film, Punnami Nagu. If you are thinking the name rings a bell, you are not off the mark. Megastar Chiranjeevi had acted in a namesake that released in the early eighties. That was also one of Chiru's first big hits. But the similarity ends with the name, say the filmmakers. Veteran director A Kodanda Rami Reddy is directing the film being produced by G Vijaya Kumar Goud. Yandamuri Veerendranath who had written the script for many Chiranjeevi films has written the script for this one.
With so many big names the film, will be ithe one to watch out for.
Asin The New Dream Girl Of Bollywood
When Vipul Shah announced his next film London Dreams with its original star cast Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan everyone thought that his favorite Katrina will be part of it. But Vipul was quite clear about his star cast and when it came to the leading lady of the film, Katrina was not at all in his mind.
It is now confirmed that after a lot of auditions Vipul has finalized south fame Asin for London Dreams . Asin is the chosen one who will be seen opposite Aamir Khan in A.R. Murugadoss’s Ghajini . She will also be seen opposite Kamal Hasan in his much talked about film Dashavataram . With such a list of list of films under her belt, this rising star is apt for the Vipul Shah’s next.
This talented actress is on a career high. She has been selective about her roles. It is learnt that Asin is in contract with Vipul’s production house and has been forbidden to talk about her prized role.
When we contacted Vipul said “It’s not true. I am still working on it.” His denial is due to the fact that the producers want to make it a big splash in the media with a surprise announcement.
Well, let Vipul go according to his plans and announce his actress at the right time but don’t forget we were the first to give you the inside dope.
Reena is quitting!
There’s buzz that Reena Kapoor, lead actress of Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki on SaharaOne, is quitting the serial. Reena, who’s been on the show for the past three years, however, prefers to be noncommittal.
“At the moment it’s too early to comment on this,” she says, when contacted by BT. “Nothing is confirmed, so I can’t really say much.”
One story doing the rounds is that the actress has bagged a good role in a movie and that’s the reason for her decision to opt out of television. However, Reena categorically denies this saying, “That’s not true at all.”
Reena became a household name with this serial. The past three years that she’s been doing this show have been wonderful, she says. “It’s a beautiful journey. Every single day of working has been beautiful. I have enjoyed myself.”
So if this journey had to end would it upset her? “Not really because I know nothing lasts forever. Everything has to come to an end,” she reasons and quickly adds, “Why are we talking about this? I’m still not sure about whether I’m quitting the show or not. As I said it’s too early for me to say anything.”
Work apart, Reena is busy at home. It’s her new house and she is very happy about moving in here. “We bought this place in Goregaon. It feels really nice. We have a lovely view from our house. My husband Karan Nijher and I moved in here a month back,” she says. And does hubby Karan watch her show? “Not really. He doesn’t have the time. And besides he doesn’t really watch TV soaps. But once in a while when he has watched me on screen, he’s appreciated my work,” she smiles.

Neetu Chandra to appear in a bikini
When I meet Neetu Chandra in sweltering and scorching heat on location in Bhopal where she is shooting for director Gary Grewal’s maiden venture as a director- Khusar Prasad Ka Bhoot in which she has been teamed opposite Randeep Hooda, she is excited about her role in the film. “I play the role of Chabeeli, a woman of loose character in Khusar Prasad Ka Bhoot. What is interesting is the fact that I am the only girl in the entire film. Chabili is liked by all the characters in the film. Everyone in the film tries all the time to hit on me. Thanks to the script, I am now having the opportunity to do a performance oriented role in Khusar Prasad Ka Bhoot. It is my fourth film with Paresh Rawal, with whom I had acted in my very first film Garam Masala”, exclaims an excited Neetu. Neetu is of the opinion that her role as Chabili in Khusar Prasad Ka Bhoot is quite different from her earlier roles till date. “It is a big transition for me as an actress if you just compare my role in Khusar Prasad Ka Bhoot with my earlier characters in earlier films. It is totally opposite to the character I did in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Traffic signal or for that matter the character of the Haryanvi lady cop that I played in Ashwani Dheer’s One Two Three.
The best thing about my character in this film is that mostly I have got to deliver my dialogues on the louder side through my eyes”, explains Neetu. Neetu says that she preferred to be launched as one of the three girls in Garam Masala instead of waiting for a big break as a solo heroine. “I am from a film background. Priyan Sir chose to give me a break with a big banner,” goes on the charming lady, “If I had done a solo lead, I do not think anyone would have come to watch me in the film. In Garam Masala, I had two big leading men like Akshay Kumar and John Abraham to lure the audiences to the theaters. I preferred to have a safe launch like Garam Masala after having appeared as a super model in several ads including Parker, Minto, and Reliance etc. Priyan Sir had directed the Parker ad in which I had the privilege to appear alongside with Amitabh Bachchan”. Neetu asserts that her glamorous post Garam Masala image almost affected her prospects in films. She further adds, “Though I had acted in a serious role in the play Aao Saathi Sapna Dekhe directed by Swanand Kirkire who had composed the music for Parineeta, I started getting roles which needed me to appear in a bikini after Garam Masala since I had projected a glamorous image in the film. In fact the image with which I was saddled after Garam Masala actually almost affected my career prospects since there were people who even tried to scare Madhur by telling him that it was wrong on his part to cast a girl like me in a deglamorised role in his film Traffic Signal”. After having played a glamorous role in Priyadarshan’s Garam Masala, Neetu is glad that she played a deglamorised role in Madhur Bhandarkar’s film Traffic Signal, though several so called well wishers of hers advised her that it was a suicidal move on the part of a newcomer like her to take up an arty role like that. Adds Neetu, “I am glad I received accolades for my performance in Traffic Signal. I am now acting in Rahul Dholakia’s Mumbai Cutting, believe it or not, in yet another path breaking as well as deglamorised role as a housemaid, with an entirely different dimension”. Neetu admits that it was tough to play a housemaid in Mumbai Cutting. “It is for the first time that I have played the role of a housemaid in Mumbai Cutting. I have not touched make up at all throughout the film. There are two brilliant actors from the theater in the film, but they have not been cast opposite me. Even in Traffic Signal, I had to apply a tanned make up whereas in Mumbai Cutting I shunned make up to get into the skin of the character”, Neetu explains her serious approach towards her characters. Neetu is now acting in a Tamil film called Yaavarum Nalam as R. Madhavan’s wife. The actress asserts, “It is a horror thriller film backed by Reliance Adlabs and directed by Vikram from the South. It is being made in two languages - Hindi and Tamil. The Hindi version has been titled ‘Flat No 13 B’. Poonam Dhillon plays my mother in law in the film”. Neetu is playing the role of a college student in Dibankar Bannnerjee’s Oye Lucky Lucky Oye opposite Abhay Deol. “It is an out and out commercial movie from the stable of Dibankar who had made his debut with a brilliant film like Khosla Ka Ghosla. I play Abhay’s love interest in the film. I play a second year college girl. It is Abhay’s story but I play an important role since I change him in the film which was shot in Manali. Paresh Rawal is also playing a very important role in the film,” the lady adds on offers being showered on her. Neetu, who is happy that she has proved to be a good survivor in this industry considering the fact that she has made it here without the help of any God father and does not have any filmy connections to work for her, is game to do item numbers, too. “I am game to do item numbers today. Why not? Today I feel that item numbers are great because not every one can do it with finesse. Raakhee Sawant, Mallika Sherawat and Aishwarya Rai would not have been able to deliver their item numbers if they did not know dancing. Today there are instances where films which remain unsold are snapped up by distributors if an item number is added to them”, Neetu clears up the matter. Neetu asserts that she is not at all insecure considering there is stiff competition in the film industry, because she has confidence in her mettle as an actor. “I am basically a sports person and have the killing instinct because of that. The role that I did in One Two Three was offered to different actresses including Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy. Since I do not want to limit myself, I grabbed the role though I felt that it was a stupid role. My gamble paid off when the critics showered their praises on me for my performance in the film”, sums up Neetu.

Vidya Balan is all set to for a Sexy role
After Amrita Rao, now it’s baby Vidya who is desperately trying to change her looks and probably image also. And folks, what could have been better for Vidya Balan than to follow the fashion statement of stars like Saif Ali, Aamir and King Khan.
Yes, we are aptly talking about Vidya opting for a tattoo tale for her silky skin. Roaming around in the alleys of tinsel town all alone, the senorita has already gone crazy for attention and her heart is aching of pumping only blood and no adrenalin for affected affection. You know what we mean!
Thus, Vidya is all set to shed her next door girl image and adopt a brand new style statement. The gorgeous lady has accepted that she is going to tattoo her body. For the record we must recap that recently baby Vidya has been in the news with her brewing romance with lonely baba Shahid. After witnessing Shahid’s ex-girlfriend Kareena’s new dude Saif inking Kareena’s name on his arms, it would really be interesting to see whose name or which design Vidya would be choosing to cover her lonely skin.
Well though, Vidya’s upcoming venture Kismat Konnection has Shahid Kapoor as her co-star, the hotter cake should be counted on Vidya’s glistening skin. Sad part of the matter is now even Vidya will be out of the next door (image). Well, NEXT!

Neha dons on the sexy avataar!
At a time when Bollywood’s flooded with newcomers, Neha Uberoi’s already making waves with her brazen, in-your-face-sexy number in a hot music video for her new film directed by Hansal Mehta.
Playing a sexy siren, Neha revealed that the look even took her by surprise. “I didn’t know I could look that sexy,” Neha said on seeing herself across hoardings in the city. But the young actress is not complaining. “Every woman likes to be called sexy,” she said. “And I’m no exception, especially because I’ve carried off a look which is a far cry from the real me.”
So, what’s the real Neha like? “Simple, shy and sweet,” she laughed. Didn’t she want to kickstart her career with something sweet and romantic? “It’s far more exciting to do something not expected of you. This role was more challenging and exciting,” she explained. And what about the buzz of her sharing cold vibes with co-actor Sikandar. “Sikandar and me bonded well professionally. But just because we don’t party together doesn’t mean we can’t stand each other.”
Barely a film-old, this hottie’s kitty is already bulking up with interesting films including EMI starring Sanjay Dutt and Soham’s Luck, among others. Unfazed by the hordes of debutantes in Bollywood, Neha said, “Competition doesn’t scare me. There’s room for everyone.”
And while professionally Neha’s on cloud nine, personally too she has much to look forward to. “I’m single, but dating is not off my radar. I’m like any other girl looking forward to falling in love. I don’t believe that it would take away my focus from work. But I’m not desperate to fall in love either,” she smiled.

Katrina’s exposed her bare legs
Katrina Kaif has just returned from Egypt after shooting a song with her favourite co-star, Akshay Kumar, for the keenly awaited Singh Is Kinng.
And while Katrina is delighted with the way the song has shaped up, she is even more charmed by Egypt and its culture.
"It's among the most beautiful countries I have visited - the pyramids, the temples and the landscape are absolutely exotic. I even enjoyed the barbecue dinner on a boat on the Nile. We shot in a number of places and I've come back with fond memories of my trip."
Ask her about the song she shot, Jee Karda, she smiles, "Wait and watch. It should be on air later this month. We shot at 4am every day to capture the light and it was scorching. To keep cool we would stay in shades and sip fruit juice or mint tea."
But her recent tour to the African land almost got into trouble when local police reportedly arrived at the scene and objected to Katrina’s outfit that exposed her bare legs while she was shooting against the backdrop of the great pyramids along with Akki.
Egypt is predominantly a Muslim nation and revealing outfits are not accepted in public places.
According to reports director Anees Bazmee, who was determined to shoot at the pyramids, managed to get the matter resolved with the help of others. And another skirt controversy was successfully skirted.

Two bollywood Sexys In a Same Project
Riya and Raima Sen are coming together….and as sisters…in Vicky Chopra's Seasons Greetings.
The episodic film directed by Vicky Chopra will apparently have six stories all coming together in unexpected ways.
The two sisters are not too willing to discuss the project.
Raima shooting in Italy says, "Yes Riya and I are finally coming together as sisters. But I'm yet to hear the script, though I've given the nod. Though she's quite mad we're very much alike in most respects."

"But we were pretty sure that that if and when we come together it would have to be as sisters," said Riya.
Interestingly when Shilpa and her sis Shamita came together it was to play soutens Deepak Tijori's Fareb.
Ayesha's new Sexy look is result Of?
Ayesha knows how to hit headlines again and again to keep her name alive for audience and if it’s not with her portrayal of a character, with juicy gossips like her reducing body weight or stepping towards hotel industry or her endeavour to jump into a wedding with her boyfriend Farhaan.
Sometimes she comes prominent in news by denying some previous statement, too.
Now, all are well aware of complete foodie shade of Ayesha’s character. And in that scenario it’s very usual to put some extra kilos.
But what should we do about people going crazy even with that news!
Having no other way, poor Ayesha joins gym and starts taking instruction from her fitness expert mother. Though the aftermath of the process does not leave any amazing impact, people are not ready to let it go easily.
Yeah, it’s absolutely true! Working hard and sweating a lot Ayesha shapes herself back but crazy people are always the same doubting. This time, our crazy people tags Ayesha’s fresh look as a miracle of science and a result of surgery. Poor Ayesha baby!
So, Ayesha has nothing to do than to face everyone and tell them about how she went through the ‘true’ process of weight loss. But, does she actually need it?
Especially if she has really done so, then what’s the need to tell others! Does it not add little fuel to the doubt itself? Well, leave it. It’s all about people and Ayesha baby only. Why to go for a time-pass with such a mundane story?
Once the weight is lost, is lost forever. But we can suggest Ayesha one thing. Go ahead and put some weight again. Find a way to shed it in front of our crazy people. Only then people may believe it your hard sweating. We guess!
Definitely My Man Will Not Be A Actor :Neha Dhupia
Q. Will your man belong to Bollywood?
A. Definitely not. He wouldn’t be from the (film) industry.
Q. Why?
A. Very simple. I don’t have a liking for industry men much. Secondly, I would not like to discuss films after coming back home from work.
Q. Would he be a metrosexual guy?
A. No way! I detest metrosexual men right from my childhood.
Q. Reason?
A. Because, I just cannot stand men who pedicure and manicure. I remember my father telling me why do these men don’t leave pedicure and manicure to women.
Q. Do you mean to say that men should leave their fingers and feet unclean?
A. No, not at all. I don’t mean them to remain dirty, but cleanliness not at the cost of being manly. They should not exhibit feminine qualities.
Q. Would he be very good looking?
A. I cannot stand good-looking men.
Q. Then?
A. He has to be someone who is robust and has a manly appearance.
Q. A man with brain or brawn?
A. A man with brain would be my choice.
Q. Would he need to be rich?
A. See, I prefer a man to excel in earning and leave the spending to me (laughs).
A. Definitely not. He wouldn’t be from the (film) industry.

Sexy Tania Zaetta accused of sex with soldiers in Afghanistan
A Bollywood starlet who made her name going beyond the call of duty in Who Dares Wins, an Australian TV stunt show, has been accused of having sex with soldiers while on a tour to entertain troops in Afghanistan.
Tania Zaetta (above) was named in a confidential briefing paper to Australia’s Defence Minister as having slept with special forces soldiers last month at a military base in Tarin Kowt, the capital of Oruzgan province. Pictures and a video were said to have been taken.
But Australia’s military was in retreat last night, admitting that it broke its privacy regulations by naming the actress, 37, in the confidential note intended for Joel Fitzgibbon, the Defence Minister.
The Defence Department apologised to Zaetta for the leak, and Mr Fitzgibbon said he had ordered an inquiry into how the document officially referred to as a “hot issues brief” became public.
Zaetta, who has appeared on Baywatch and Mission Implausible, a British pay-TV show, denied the allegations and said there had been little opportunity to be alone with any soldier, even if she had wanted to be.
“How does a supposed document . . . that I don’t know about get leaked in the first place that’s a little bit concerning about the security of the country,” she said.
“It’s complete lies . . . apart from being hurtful, it’s damaging to a woman’s career, to her reputation.” The Government now faces a potential compensation payout after she sought legal advice over the claims, which the document said had been made by Angry Anderson, a veteran Australian rock star and fellow tour performer.
Kevin Rudd, the Prime Minister, reluctantly commented on the scandal, which drew criticism from the opposition conservative Liberal Party over invasion of privacy. “These matters are under investigation within the Defence Department and I will leave it for that investigation to reach its own conclusions,” Mr Rudd said.
Anderson, the bald former frontman for the rock band Rose Tattoo, denied that he had made a complaint.
Another performer said the entertainers had been told that they would breach Defence Force regulations if they fraternised with the troops. “I have heard of quickies but I have never heard of anything that quick . . . a tour like that is hard work,” John Clinton, of the country rock band the Wolverines, said.
Zaetta co-hosted the 1990s television show Who Dares Wins. She has featured in several Bollywood productions including a recent Charlie’s Angels-style hit, Mr. Black, Mr. White.

Battle Of Bikini between Amisha and Kareena
The history of Hindi cinema is witness to the fact that the top-most filmmakers call the shots when it comes to convincing the best and the most graceful of our leading heroines to don the ultimate symbol of boldness in B-town – the much famed bikini. The super-gorgeous Dimple Kapadia, Simi Garewal, Zeenat Aman and even the very arty Vyajanthimala once succumbed to showman Raj Kapoor.
And off-late, it is contemporary filmmaking veteran Yash Raj who has continued the trend. Though Kareena’s zero-size figure in a lime green bikini may have been an unsuccessful stint in saving Tashan from doomsday but the filmmaker is in no mood to make a U-turn when it comes to the ‘bikini’ formula.After convincing Esha Deol, daughter of B-town’s most dignified lady; the ‘intelligent sexy woman’ Bipasha and the bold Bebo to don a two-piece bikini, Amisha Patel is their latest muse.
Yes, Kaho Na Pyar Hai’s demure girl is all set to wow the audiences with a two-piece bikini in the Saif-Rani starer ‘ Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic’ . Now while it works as a great publicity stunt for Amisha who is back in the groove after a long-exile, we wonder what this one holds in store for Yash Raj’s latest flick. After all, B-town goers are no longer satisfied with plain bikinis. The essentials for grabbing eye-balls are not just a hour-glass figure but a ‘sexy attitude’ that creates a fine blend of mystery and seduction which even our stylish diva Bebo couldn’t quite deliver. So while Yash Raj has spent huge bucks on filming an underwater sequence that features Amisha at her bare best, let us see if the comeback heroine manages to score a brownie point or two over Bebo with this one.

Sexy Bollywood Actress Katrina Kaif 'touch-and-go'
When Bollywood oomph-dripping belle Katrina Kaif swung and swooned to ''...Zara Zara Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me'' in latest blockbuster 'Race', little did she know she was inviting trouble.
Similarly, when overweening item girl Rakhi Sawant belted out and swivelled to ''...Arre Yeh To Bata Dekhta Hai Tu Kya?'' in the latest turkey 'Krrazzy 4', she could not realise the consequences of her gyrating twirls.
Both were least aware of the fact that within months the lyrics of their songs would be taken at face value.
A kiss here and a liplock there. A wink here and a swivel on a heel there. A hug here and a cuddle there with your screen goddesses while watching a film. Your favourite actress giving the glad eye to you and curling your lock of hair amid a riot of colours is no pipedream any longer.
It would soon become a reality.
Welcome to the world of Adlabs Cinemas, which took the curtains off the country and Asia's first 6-Dimensional cinema experience in this history-soaked city overrun by international holiday makers on Friday, just minutes away from the monument to eternal love -- the Taj Mahal.
The audience never had it so good. They need not now curb their hidden overpowering desires. They are in for a treat. This is Adlabs Cinemas stupefying way of romancing the silver screen. A signpost of awe-inspiring cinema.
Providing a multi-sensory cinematic experience unlike anything cinema goers have ever encountered, the 6D Cinema is set to become a distinctive global tourist entertainment attraction.
''The concept of 3D cinema was launched some years ago.
But now we have come up with 6D cinema which will capture your six senses while you are watching a film.
3D cinema was all about visual effect where picture on the screen would pop out, but in 6D if a flower appears on the screen you can smell it, if water is splashed on the screen you can feel drops of water on your face and if some character is shown on screen you can feel his or her touch,'' Adlabs Cinemas Chief Operating Officer Tushar Dhingra told at the launch.
Unlike conventional 2D or 3D movie theatres, Cinema Park's technology employs cutting-edge visual and audio effects that bring strikingly real three-dimensional images right before audiences' eyes, thus allowing them to simultaneously experience sight, smell, sound, touch, motion and above all interactivity, knocking spots off the earlier formats, Mr Dhingra added.
A special half hour film, 'India in Motion', in four languages-- Hindi, English, French and Spanish -- has been specially created within this format wherein well-known Indian actor Anupam Kher takes the audience through India's evolution from an ancient civilisation to a modern nation bustling with activity and abundant with opportunity.
Other films which have been very popular in other Cinema Parks across the world such as Journey through the Universe will also be screened, he informed.
''The day is not far when full-fledged commercial Bollywood films will also be screened in this theatre where the touch and caress of actress might also be felt by the audience and whenever a hot heroine appears on the screen the temperature of the theatre would rise, '' he said tongue in cheek.
He said his group planned to open more such theatres in other tourist destinations like Goa, Jaipur and Devasthanam Tirupati.
In such theatres globetrotters would be able to take a whistlestop tour of India more and more within a mere 25 to 30 minutes for six to eight dollars but for domestic travellers the cost would come around Rs 150 for the 30-minute infotainment.
''Right now, we have the presence in 54 cities and plan to take the number to 110 by the end of this fiscal,'' Mr Dhingra said.
Mr Ori Yardeni, CEO and Founder of Cinema Park Network, said: ''We are proud that India, which is an important tourist destination, is joining our global network.
We have already set-up multi-sensory experiences in other parts of the world, including Disney World in Florida, and now India is our first installation in Asia. We will provide the tourist agencies and operators with a state-of-the-art unforgettable experience, based on a solid commercial partnership.''
''India in Motion in Agra is going to be one of our flagship Wonders of the World (WoW) projects.'' ''WoW is going to be a major player in the tourism industry and our plan is to set-up similar experiences in the most toured destinations around the world. India in Motion actually complements the visit at the Taj Mahal, and turns it into a livewire experience,'' added Mr Yardeni.

Bollywood Actress Amisha Patel’s skin show!
All those who have seen the rushes of Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic are going gung ho about Amisha Patel.
Apparently the actress is looking wow in a glamorous new avtaar. More than her look, there’s plenty of skin show, but no one is complaining because the actress has worked on her body and is looking very hot and happening. In fact, we hear that with this film, she is planning to revamp her onscreen image from a girl next door to a sexy siren.
With a new boyfriend Kanav, who is ready to lay the world at her feet and now with her new sexy look, Amisha seems to be heading at the right direction. Now do we see Vikram Bhatt raising his eyebrows?

Where’s Sexy Nisha Kothari gone?
Priyanka, better known as Nisha Kothari, seems to have done a disappearing act.
And the name change hasn’t really changed her luck in Bollywood. The actress was hoping that the name change would get her good films, but this Basanti of Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, hasn’t been signed on by any noteworthy banner. Also she’s not be seen in any of RGV’s forthcoming venture.
With very few assignments on hand we wonder what Nisha... oops Priyanka plans to do now? Wonder if another name change is on the cards! We hope it works for her this time around.

Bollywood Actress Shilpa was so reluctant and scared
For a scene in the Sunny Deol-directed The Man, Shilpa Shetty had to slap her co-star Sudhanshu Pandey. And if the latter is to be believed, the actress was very reluctant to do so.
"It was an emotional scene where I was supposed to console her and she was required to slap me in a fit of rage. But Shilpa was so reluctant and scared. She had to be literally convinced to slap me to get the shot right," Sudhanshu, a singer, model and actor, said.
Sudhanshu said that he had to ultimately hold her hand and make her slap him to be more comfortable with the shot. "It was funny as she still couldn't do it. But since she had no option, she did it very lightly," he said.
The actor, who featured in Sanjay Gupta's film Dus Kahaniyaan, was in Delhi to attend the launch of an All Sports Bar.
2008 has proved to be lucky for Sudhanshu, who became a father for the second time earlier this month and also has some big banner films lined up for release.
Talking about his forthcoming projects, Sudhanshu said: "Alibaug, The Man and Singh is King are in the pipeline and I am really excited."
Sudhanshu, a former member of the music group Band of Boys, has sung in Sanjay Gupta's Alibaug, where he plays a business tycoon.
"Yes, I have sung in Alibaug. It was Sanjay [Gupta] who dragged me into it and the experience was fantastic," he said, making it clear that he would never get associated with a music band, however.
The actor, who calls himself "simple, focussed and a family man", is looking for a name for his newborn son. "It has become difficult to decide on a good name."

The Sexy Girl Next Door
Amrita Rao, who started her Bollywood career as the girl-next-door, is creating a lot of flutter around with her all new provocative glam look. The actress justifies that she is not trying to break the image that she has created in the industry by saying that ‘a girl next door can also be hot and sexy’.
“I’m not trying to desperately do something different that would make me change the image that I have built. I’m very happy if people in the industry find me a sweet girl-next-door,” she says.
She finds nothing wrong when the same girl-next-door goes through a glam makeover and starts flirting with guys in a pub. Suddenly, the girl-next-door which is the uber chic version of the Bharatiya Nari has gone through a sea change in definition.
“But you have to understand that this girl is not predictable. She can be hot and sexy too, she can be the life of a party and can also flirt with boys,” Amrita says.
And what does Amrita have to say about her new look in the forthcoming film Shortkut in which she is provocatively soaking the sun on a sandy beach?
“See, I have worn sexy clothes before too in films like Ab Ke Baras, Ishq Vishk, Main Hoon Na. The new thing that I have done is the way I have been acting like in My Name is Anthony Gonsalves in which I could subtly be seductive through my eyes and expressions. In Shortkut too, I have a role that demands me to be glamourous and attractive,” Amrita explains.
Now an established actress, Amrita started her career as a model and featured in several commercials. Having no well wishers in Bollywood, Amrita says she has been lucky to have got big movie offers.
“It’s difficult to establish yourself in our industry if you do not know someone. Only a few from the outside can barge into the industry. I think I have been very lucky,” she says.
She admits that there are very few platforms that enable an actor to get noticed.
“The problem is that the platforms from where you can get spotted by someone from our film fraternity are few. Either you have to be a model doing ads or you have to win a beauty pageant and none of these are a cakewalk,” she said.
This svelte actress currently has three films in her kitty — the Shyam Benegal
directed Mahadev Ka Sajjanpur, Harman Baweja starrer Victory and Anil Kapoor’s Shortkut and says she has no complaints about how the industry has treated her so far.
“I don’t have any complaints because I think I have got some really nice opportunities and people have been very nice with me,” she says, adding, “Acting was something I always secretly desired to do and I’m living my dream.”
The romantic at heart
Amrita, who has acted in several romantic films, says she is a very big romantic at heart and adds that it was her role in Ishq Vishq that is most closer to the real person that she is. “I’m a very sacrificing, emotional person. Playing the role of Payal in the film was like playing me in front of the screen,” she says.
Amrita says that she believes in the classic, your-love-is-destined-for-you phrase. “I’m a very romantic person but I believe that if someone is destined to be with me, nothing can take the person away,” she adds.
“I’m not trying to desperately do something different that would make me change the image that I have built. I’m very happy if people in the industry find me a sweet girl-next-door,” she says.

Sherlyn Chopra As a Moulin Rouge
Sherlyn Chopra will soon be seen in a video directed and choreographed by Remo D'souza who has choreographed several films and item songs. In the video Sherlyn will be seen in different avatars. In one she will be a 'Moulin Rouge' performer while in another she will be a typical Bollywood item girl with all the associated jhatkaas and matkaas donning a diamond encrusted bikini.
DJ Akbar Sami has remixed and reworked the track to give it a house and club touch. "The original track 'Dard' was more of a lounge track. While it was a great piece of music, it wasn't of the dance variety. The success of an album and a music video is primarily based on the popularity it enjoys at discotheques and clubs. We have reworked Sherlyn's original track to give it an international club and house feel."
The costumes have been especially designed by fashion designer Reza (of DEVDAS fame) with inputs from Sherlyn and Remo
"We worked on the look keeping in mind the music and the dance moves. Sherlyn is a great dancer and a sensual, sexy movement comes very naturally to her. Keeping her plus points in mind I designed the costumes for her, which includes a traditional sequence, a bikini sequence and also an international sequence."
Sherlyn's fans and viewers will have to wait for another month till it goes on air.

Amisha in a yellow bikini
Much preparation and hard work went into the shooting of Amisha Patel’s sensuous song in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic .
Contrary to rumours, Amisha Patel isn’t doing an item number in the film, but has a proper role, though a brief one. Apparently, she plays a girl whose match Rani Mukherjee tries to make with Saif Ali Khan .
What’s grabbing the eyeballs before the film’s release is the sexy song “Lazy Lamhe” featuring Amisha in a yellow bikini designed by Manish Malhotra . However, shooting the song wasn’t a cakewalk for both Amisha and director Kunal Kohli .
The song was shot at a resort in Alibaug. Kohli initially planned to wrap the song within eight days. But it eventually took longer than that.
The number was set in and around a swimming pool. Since a part of the song shows Amisha going underwater, the actress had to train before doing the scenes. Also, Kohli got a special underwater camera to shoot those sequences.
However, when Amisha began to shoot, she developed fever because of repeatedly going into cold water in the month of January. Then, Kohli found a way out. He planned to heat up the pool’s water before shooting.
This doubled the task of the production team but the result was eventually achieved.
Finally, the song that was meant to be shot in 8 days was canned in two week’s time.

It has become somewhat customary for Katrina Kaif’s skirt to raise a few hackles.
We all know of the controversy that Katrina Kaif unwillingly created when she went to the holy Sufi shrine at Ajmer in a short skirt to shoot a scene for Vipul Shah’s film Namastey London . That controversy was resolved only after Shah decided to delete the sequence altogether from the film.
Now, an almost similar incident reportedly happened while shooting Shah’s home production Singh Is Kinng in Egypt.
Katrina was to shoot against the backdrop of the great pyramids along with co-star Akshay Kumar but the local police reportedly arrived at the scene and objected to Katrina’s outfit that exposed her bare legs.
Egypt is predominantly a Muslim nation and revealing outfits are not accepted in public places there.
Reports say director Anees Bazmee , who was determined to shoot at the pyramids, managed to get the matter resolved with the help of others.
And thankfully another skirt controversy was successfully skirted.

Sexy Lara Dutta is the talk of the town
Being fit is the new mantra in Bollywood and everyone is hitting the gym with a vengeance.
The new entrant into the fit celebrity pack is the sexy Lara Dutta, whose new look is the talk of the town. Says Lara, “I am healthier than ever before because of all the working out I have been doing and feel that I am in my best form ever. I have never wanted to be waif-thin. And I now have a fit and lean figure,
which I have achieved all thanks to the strenuous training that I have been going through preparing for the movie Blue.” Wish the new, sexy Lara gets a new, sexy man in her life too...
