Zarine Khan gets favor from Salman Khan in ‘Ready’

Zarine Khan shot to limelight as Salman Khan’s discovery in ‘Veer’ and because of her apparent similarity in looks to Salman’s love interest Katrina Kaif. It seems that Salman has not forgotten the Kat-look-alike and is making all possible efforts to keep Zarine’s career going. He has convinced director Anees Bazmee, who is directing ‘Ready’ to rope in Zarine for a guest appearance in the film. In the movie Zarine will be seen with Arbaaz Khan in a brief role. During the weekend, Arbaaz and Zarine flew down to Bangkok to shoot the film.
In Pattaya, Salman Khan shot impressive stunts while driving a tuk-tuk in the narrow streets, in line with Hollywood actor Pierce Brosnan’s fast-paced ad in the ubiquitous Thai rickshaw. The scene shows two tuk-tuks blowing up and the actor jumping into another one and driving off.
Producer Bhushan says, “It was bhai’s (Salman) idea to shoot in a tuk tuk. Unlike the two and three-wheeler vehicles in India, the tuk tuks are very fast and powerful. Their drivers too are experts and can ride them as two- wheelers also. People have shot romantic songs or scenes perhaps, but such a high-voltage action sequence will be seen for the first time in ready. People will enjoy this unique Thai action.”

Bipasha Basu’s controversial Twitter pic which raised the child labour issue

Bipasha Basu joined in the social networking site, Twitter, late but it seems that she has put her foot in trouble. She was accused of promoting child labour when she posted a pic of hers showing two little girls tying her shoe laces. The pic read, “I need to learn to tie shoe laces ASAP! Embarrassed that I can`t! No patience grrrrr! Promise I am not spoilt! Will learn soon”.
The pic immediately sparked extreme reactions. A follower of her wrote, “Bipasha should be arrested for this act. Only then these film studios will not do any child labour”. Another one posted:, “Disgraceful Bips - cannot believe you are dumb enough to add this photo on Twitter!”
Bipasha immediately deleted the pic from her Twitter page and wrote: “Well, the people helping me in the pics are my friend and sister, who I help often with the same! So am sorry if it hurt anyone’s sentiments!”
She later added, “About the pic, the pair of boots were a different pair so my sis and my friend were helping me and I thought it looked damn funny n took d pic as a joke!…A pic put 4 fun gets picked up by people as `child labour` is absolutely unbelievable. Just so that all get it right: neither of the two are children!…Also `child labour` is a serious issue that can`t be used in such a light connotation,” she wrote in a number of tweets.
“I wish that the ones who created such a furore n reacted immensely, actually do something worthy against child labour,” she wrote.

Mink shedding those extra kilos for ‘Zor Ka Jhatka’

Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Zor Ka Jhatka’ on Imagine TV is showing some real action-packed water sports games where celebrities are battling out with each other. One of the contestants on the show is Mink Brar, who, after three weeks on the show, claims to have lost six kilos.
Mink grew up in Germany and stepped into Bollywood with ‘Pyar Ka Tarana’ (2003). She was then seen in few films like ‘Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain’ and ‘Saat Rang Ke Sapne’. She then did a music album – ‘Ghoongat Remix’ and also launched a production house Bro & Sis Productions with her brother, Punnu.
As for the reality shows on smaller screen, Mink did a dancing show, Dancing Queen on Colors, where she was a mentor. She was also one of the contestants of the 2009 adventure reality show, “Sarkaar Ki Duniya” on Real TV channel but was eliminited early.

Bollywood makes way for PC’s cousin Parineeti Chopra

Bollywood often sees the relatives of celebrities stepping into the acting career. This time, it is Parineeti Chopra who happens to be the first cousin of sexy and successful Priyanka Chopra. Parineeti has worked in Yash Raj’s marketing team and impressed the banner so much that she bagged in a pivotal role in YRF’s next ‘Ladies V/s Ricky Bahl’, to be directed by ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ fame Maneesh Sharma. Parineeti impressed Maneesh and producer Aditya Chopra with her audition and will star in the movie along side Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma. In the film she plays one of the ladies whom the protagonist (Ranveer Singh) flirts with. The movie’s leading lady, however, will be Anushka Sharma.
Well, with Priyanka Chopra being the reigning queen of Bollywood, we hope to see Parineeti too building on a successful career here……

Anushka Shetty’s loss is Kajal Agarwal’s gain


Rohit Shetty is set on making the remake of ‘Singham’ which had been a huge hit down South. He has already finalized Ajay Devgan for the male lead and wanted Anushka Shetty to play Ajay’s love interest because she was in the original film with Sooriya.
However, when Anushka was offered the film, she reportedly demanded Rs 1.5 crore. Not to mention here that Rohit did not entertain her high demands and she had to let go this golden opportunity for a break in Bollywood.
Anushka has now been replaced by Kajal Agarwal, a popular name in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada who gathered a huge fan following after her performance as Yuvarani Mitravinda Devi in Magadheera.
No wonder Rohit is all praises for his new heroine and says, “She is very popular down south. She has done Magadheera, one of the biggest Telegu hits of all time. We are confident about her pulling off the role successfully.”

Yana Gupta completes her act with a broken nose

Yana Gupta made her debut into Bollywood with the item number Babuji in Dum (2003) which on to be a rage among cine goers. Later, she also featured in the item song Oh! What A Babe in Rakht (2004) and in a music album of her own. Gupta is better known to the Tamil audience for ‘Kadhal Yaanai’ in Anniyan. She is now-a-days in news once again with the dance reality show ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4’. She has impressed everyone with her dancing skills and is one of the finalists along with Sushant Singh Rajput, Ankita Lokhande, Mahi Vij and Meiyang Chang on the show.
So much is her dedication to the show that he broke her nose while performing in a dance sequence but managed to complete her performance with the broken nose before rushing to the hospital. She had to undergo an operation for the fracture. Here is what the beautiful 31 year old Czech-born model-actor wrote on her micro-blogging site, “Remember our domestic violence act? Did X-ray finally and my nose is fractured. Surgery on Thursday. I wonder how I managed to dance till the end.”

Rakhi Sawant & Veena Malik to add spice to the World Cup craze


The drama and spice cannot just be ignored when item girl Rakhi Sawant and Pakistani star, sexy Veena Malik come on screen. So, they were obvious choices when India TV chose 12 contestants for their unique show, ‘Big Toss’ to cash in on the World Cup Fever. The show will be shown only when India is playing. It will have 12 contestants divided into two groups. Each group will choose its favourite player from the Indian team and bet on him. The group that scores the maximum points will be declared the winner of a Honda car.
“Both of them can add a lot of drama to the show and people are interested in watching them on small screen,” explained Hemant Sharma, news editor of India TV, for choosing Rakhi and Veena for the show.
Sharma also explained why he came up with this idea of a show. “Usually, during the World Cup matches, all the news channels organize discussions with four or five experts in the studio. This concept doesn’t excite people anymore. We wanted to do something different so we zeroed in on this concept,” Sharma told.
Apart from Rakhi and Veena, the list of contestants includes cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh, singers Shankar Sawhney and Ashok Masti, beautician Sylvie and RJ Simran, among others.

Will Aishwarya Rai pair opposite Sanjay Dutt in ‘Satte Pe Satta’ remake?

Aishwarya Rai and Sanjay Dutt have worked together in Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin (2002) and Shabd (2005), but unfortunately both the films failed to create any magic at the box office. If, everything goes well, we will now get to see the two talented actors together once again in the remake of the 70s superhit ‘Satte Pe Satta’. Ash will play the role of Hema Malini and Sanjay Dutt, of course, will play the role played by Big B.
Earlier, Filmi pandits had been speculating that Vidya Balan was being considered for the role, but it has become apparent now that Sanjay Dutt is very keen on having the Bachchan Bahu for the role. The film is going to be produced by Sanjay’s own production house, and Aishwarya sharing close vibes with the Dutt family, she is also very interested in the project. Since she is now in New Zealand holidaying with hubby Abhishek Bachchan, who is shooting there for Abbas-Mastan’s film Players, the writer of Satte Pe Satta remake will especially fly down to New Zealand to give her a story narration.
Hope the remake does the same for Sanju and Ash what it did for Amitabh and Hema Malini’s career………..

A sneak peak into Govinda’s ‘Naughty @40′

Govinda has pinned all his hopes on the project ‘Naughty @40’. However, the movie is being constantly delayed due to casting and production issues since over two years. In fact, the actor is now so keen on seeing the movie hit the screens, that he has foregone all other later remunerations apart from the signing amount. Directed by Jagmohan Mundra and produced by Anuj Sharma, the movie is finally slated to release February-end.
Sharma says, “Govinda went out of his way at every stage to ensure that the shooting was completed. He is now taking an interest in the post-production as well. He has taken upon himself the onus to ensure the film gets a theatrical release. Thanks to his interest, the project’s on track.”
Initially, Ayesha Takia was signed opposite Govinda for the movie but due to her marriage plans, Yuvika Choudhary was taken in her place. The film, which also stars Sayali Bhagat, is about a 40-year-old virgin (essayed by Govinda) who arrives from London to India to find a partner before it is too late.
“Govinda lost a lot of weight for the shoot and even coloured his hair to suit his screen persona. Apart from London, we also shot in Manali. He recently saw the film and loved the way it shaped up. He is looking forward to its release now,” adds Sharma.

R. Madhavan breaks his promise for ‘Tanu Weds Manu’

Well, we all remember that after shy Madhavan made his debut screen kiss with Vidya Balan in ‘Guru’, he swore publicly that he would not kiss anyone on-screen again. However, filmstars are known to forget their promises with every passing night and so here we have Madhavan into lip locks with Kangana Ranaut in his forthcoming ‘Tanu Weds Manu’.
Madhavan plays a boy from London who comes to India in search of a bride and in this particular scene he has come for a formal meeting with a small town wild girl, Tanu, played by Kangana. Kangana turns up drunk before him with a half bottle vodka along with sleeping pills because she doesn’t want to marry him. However, Manu falls in love with her at first sight and kisses her, while she lays unconscious.
Explains director Aanand L Rai, “It’s a very funny but romantic scene, where the bride to be turns up drunk and almost unconscious with a long pallu drown on her face and Manu falls in love with her that very moment and agrees to marry her. The sweetness of the scene was required to be justified with a kiss.”
All, we can say is think twice before you promise…………..

Jiah Khan: I am far from getting married

She left everyone ‘Nishabd’ with her bold performance in her debut ‘Nishabd’ opposite none other than Amitabh Bachchan. However, post her debut, she came in just a handful of films, the noted among them being Aamir Khan’s ‘Ghajini’ and the latest Sajid Khan’s ‘Housefull’. Now, the girl has left everyone speechless once again by entering into a marriage alliance with a UK based foreigner.
A close friend of Jiah told the Mumbai Mirror, “Jiah has married. We don’t know the guy’s identity, but he is a foreigner for sure. Jiah is very prominent, in the party circuit, in UK. She has many foreign friends. But, we were quite surprised, when we learnt about her marriage. We are trying to check on the details.”
Jiah, who had earlier been linked to her former manager, Jaspreet Walia, who is the brother of filmmaker Bunty Walia, however, termed the rumor as stupid and tweeted, “Stupid gossip doing the rounds that I’m married now! LOL where do they get this stuff from!!! I can assure u I’m faaaar from getting married!!”
Well, with hopes that Jiah’s tweet would put an end to all her marriage rumors, we also hope that Jiah may give a further push to her career with Pawan Kalyan starrer ‘The Shadow’, which she has signed recently.

Kangana Ranaut & Rakhi Sawant: The war has begun!!

It all began with Kangana Ranaut’s forthcoming flick ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ where the Punjabi singer Mika Singh has sung a peppy promotional track titled ‘Jugni’. The song has recently shot on the film’s lead actors Kangana and Madhavan with Mika joining in for a jig. It was here that the director Anand L Rai came up with the idea of making Mika kiss Kangana at the song’s end, just the way he locked lips with the item girl Rakhi Sawant which had sparked controversies a few years ago. However, Kangana refused to do so and even went on to comment, “I am no Rakhi Sawant to do something like this!!”
Well, Rakhi Sawant, who had been itching for long in search of some controversy, was all too glad as the comment slipped out of Kangana’s mouth. So, here we have Rakhi all furious and fuming and she goes on to shoot back at Kangana saying, “How dare Kangana do her publicity gimmicks, firing from my shoulder. I have never kissed Mika. He had forcibly planted one on me and the world knows that. If Kangana is so publicity hungry, she should have kissed Mika for the song and become famous. Why resort to talking about Rakhi Sawant to gain mileage.”
“With battle lines drawn, a new war seems to have just begun here,” chuckles Rakhi’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar.
All we have to do is waiting for the war to spice up!!

Soha and Kunal finally ready for the commitment?

Where brother Saif Ali Khan is in proclaimed romantic relationship with Kareena Kapoor, sister Soha Ali Khan too has been in relationship with Kunal Khemu for quite some years now, but unlike Saifeena, Kunal and Soha abstains from commenting anything on their relationship before media.
However, finally, Soha has broken the silence and during a recent interview, she stated that she and Kunal will be ready to get married in a couple of year adding that they have met each other’s parents and have their approval for the marriage.
Soha also expressed her concern regarding her cooking skills and stated that she intended to take up cooking classes as she wishes to cook for Kunal, who is a great foodie. Soha also stated that she would not wait for brother Saif to get married first, if he takes up another ten years to take the vow.

Hrithik Roshan turns to smaller screen to host a dance reality show

America’s popular TV show ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ is making its way to India and when talking of a host to guide the show on its way to popularity, there could be no other name so apt than of Bollywood’s most talented dancer, Hrithik Roshan himself.
The whole world swears by the dancing skills of Hrithik. In the words of Flexy Stu and Loren L, Hrithik’s choreographer for ‘Kites’, “Hrithik is a perfectionist and a workaholic; he would call us late at night to come down from out hotel, get into his car and meet up to listen to the track he did. He’s really excited about the music and he’s really striving to be authentic. A lot of actors in Bollywood try to take short cuts; he’s real the whole time.”
While Hrithik will anchor the show, Farah Khan will be one of the judges. Its also rumored that Hrithik will be paid a whopping Rs. 2 crore to play the host!
With this, one more Bollywood star gives in to the temptation of the reality shows on the smaller screen…….

Vikram Bhatt launches the first look of his 3D horror flick ‘Haunted’

Vikram Bhatt has already showed his excellence in the subject of horror flicks with ‘Raaz’, ‘1920? and ‘Shaapit’. Now, Vikram Bhatt takes a step ahead in the same genre as he goes 3D for his next horror movie ‘Haunted’.
‘Haunted is my most challenging and fulfilling film. The challenge began from the scripting stage itself because we had to visualize the country’s first next generation stereoscopic 3D film. It was all new. The style was new and the technology was new.
‘We had to acquaint ourselves with the technology, learn it, to adapt it. That was a major feat and I must thank the entire technical team. We would never have been able to achieve this unique milestone in Indian cinema without them,’ Bhatt said at the launch of the first look of the film.
Produced by- BVG Films (A division of ASA Productions & Enterprises) & DAR Motion Pictures, the film is slated to release April 15.

Be it Madhuri Dixit, Malaika Arora Khan, Mallika Sherawat, Akshay Kumar or SRK himself, Bollywood stars seem to have been smitten by the lure of small screen’s reality shows.

Surily Goel will be styling Preity for this show. Surily says, “I am excited to style Priety for her television debut. A show like Guinness World Records will be a great platform to experiment with various looks. Her personality is quite sporty, energetic and adventurous, and hence, I will style her keeping her personality in mind. I have given her a waistcoat over a casual shirt teamed with boots and gloves especially for the promo shoot.”
Preity is known as the iron woman of Bollywood and her die hard attitude is one which can be doubted by none. So, she seems to be the apt choice for the show with the right mix of glamour, attitude and spirit!!

If Hollywood has Jennifer Lopez, we have Caterina Lopez!!



The influx of foreign beauties into Bollywood continues with a greater fervor than ever as the popularity of item numbers reaches greater heights- all thanks to the glam quotient imparted by Munni and Sheila last year. So, this year we have Jennifer Lopez’s cousin sister Caterina Lopez, making her Bollywood debut with a raunchy item song in director Ankush Bhatt’s film Bhindi Bazaar Inc.
Talking about her experience in Bollywood, Caterina says, “It was not easy learning the whole Bollywood style of dancing because it’s very different. It’s a different ball game altogether. Learning the song was also very tough but once I got a hang of it, it became better. Honestly I think I did a good job.”
Caterina is alien to the language here but no where in the song has she missed the lip sync. She hopes for a career in Bollywood and is planning to learn Hindi soon.
“I’m still struggling with the language. Here and there I’ve learned a few words, but I’m definitely planning to get a teacher and learn Hindi completely,” she added.
The song has Caterina draped in a sexy sari and a skimpy blouse. Caterina has SRK as her favorite actor and she candidly confesses that she has once had a crush on him but the gal choses to stay mum on her relationship with Jlo.

The latest addition to this news is that the second lead of the film has been finalized with sexy Minissha Lamba opposite Shreyas Talpade.  in ‘Joker’. ‘Joker’ will be Shirish Kunder’s second directorial venture after ‘Jaan-E-Mann’ which starred Salman and Akshay Kumar.

Meanwhile, Minissha’s and Hollywood actor Tara Reid’s names were used by four Indians who designed the promotional material for the housing project by Santorini Development, which claimed that they had bought homes in the project.
But Minissha said she had nothing to do with it.
“I have no clue how something like this has happened. Forget about buying property in Dubai, I have not even entertained the notion yet. It is a sad state of affairs when people are duped out of their hard-earned money like this,” she said.

After John and Hrithik, Aamir Khan is the next bad guy in ‘Dhoom 3′

Be it the sexy biker John Abraham in ‘Dhoom’ or the mesmerizing eyed thief Hrihtik Roshan in ‘Dhoom2’, the villains have always over powered the good guys Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) and Ali (Uday Chopra). So, what could be better choice for Yash Raj Films’ to have Aamir Khan as the villain in their ‘Dhoom 3’?
Yes, it is official now that perfectionist Khan is donning the cap of the bad guy for Aditya Chopra in ‘Dhoom 3’. Confirming the news, Aamir said, “I have recently signed Dhoom 3. I liked the script very much. When I had watched Dhoom, I liked it a lot. I enjoyed the music and the whole attitude. It’s a very fun film. I really liked it. I never thought I would fit in this kind of film.”
“When I heard the story from Victor, I really enjoyed it. Very well-written script, very enjoyable. It’s a great franchise and I am happy to be part of it. I am also looking forward to work with Abhishek and Uday,” Aamir said adding, “It’s true that for the first time I’m doing a negative role, an anti-hero in the mainstream film. I liked my role and all the characters are very well-written. Actually, in between I did another negative role in an offbeat film 1947 Earth.”
This would be the star’s third Yash Raj film after Parampara and Fanaa. The actress opposite the star is yet to be finalized.
Yash Chopra, too, expressed his joy in having Aamir on board. He said, “It’s a great pleasure to have Aamir working with our banner. I am terribly excited with what an actor like Aamir can bring to the Dhoom franchise with his unique star power and level of performance. Adi and Victor have worked over a year to bring out, what I can now confidently say, is possibly one of the best scripts coming out of our production house.”

Sonakshi Sinha gearing up for ‘Race 2′

Well, Sonakshi Sinha did set up a new definition for Indian beauty with her full figure which was a far cry from size-zero hype in her debut ‘Dabangg’, but the actress will now have to work hard to shed those chubby kilos for her forthcoming projects.
Given the fact that Sonakshi has been chosen to be a part of the sequel of the gihly glamorous ‘Race’, the girl has but no other option to get into shape.
“Bipasha Basu was presented in a very striking way in Race. We’ve to make sure Sonakshi is equally presented in the sequel, “says producer Ramesh Taurani.
Sonakshi, on her part, is serious about getting in shape and says, “First, I had to lose weight for my debut in Dabangg. Now I’ve to get into even better shape for ‘Joker’ and ‘Race 2′. For the last two years that’s all I seem to be doing. Losing weight. But I am fine with that. Because it’s important for me to look good.”
Sonakshi has also expressed her desire to do a dance number in the film. The girl did not get an opportunity to show her dancing skills in ‘Dabangg’ and her forthcoming ‘Joker’ with Farah Khan also has no scope for any dance number with Sonakshi. No wonder the girl is pinning all her hopes on ‘Race 2’.
“Yes,” Sonakshi says excitedly, “It’s a very guns-and-gadgets subject. And I’m looking forward to doing my own dancing.”

Tena Dease is making her Indian film debut alongside one of Bollywood’s greats, Anupam Kher, in the film Yeh Faasle. The movie deals with her character’s relationship with her father, whom she has adored all her life, on discovering his dark secret and his hidden propensity for violence.
This Bangalore born model turned actor, who has been the face of more than 90 commercials, will be seen romancing Dev Patel in John Madden’s ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’. The all-star cast includes Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy and Maggie Smith.
Praising her co-star, Tena says, “Dev is a very good actor; he’s very versatile and energetic. He’s lots of fun too; his humor makes him very endearing.”
“Hollywood was terrific, their culture is so different. I learnt about their ways and taught them mine. We shot during Diwali, so I gave them recipes for authentic festival food. We all had a wonderful time,” says Tena recalling her experience for the shoot.
It was the superstar SRK who inspired the beautiful girl to pursue her career in acting. “After watching a Shah Rukh Khan film, I cried like never before. It was then I realized that I was made for the screen,” says Tena.

Kareena Kapoor to play Dawood’s girlfriend

Once Upon A Time in Mumbai is a film inspired by the controversial life of Dawood Ibrahim. Ekta Kapoor has found her Dawood, in Akshay Kumar, but is now faced with the challenge of finding an actress, for the character Mandakini, who was allegedly involved with Dawood.

In part one of Once Upon A Time in Mumbai, Amy Kingston’s resemblance to Mandakini, won her the role, as a one-night partner of Dawood, played by Emraan Hashmi.

A source close to the film tells us, “The second part of Once Upon A Time In Mumbai is going to be on a much bigger canvas and hence Balaji is looking at a top actress to play the female lead. It would be either Kareena or Vidya.

Salman Khan Katrina Kaif Latest News

Bollywood’s eternal bachelor Salman Khan has always courted trouble when it comes to the matters of heart. However, this time around, Salman Khan is keeping mum on his estranged relationship with Katrina Kaif, who is reportedly going around with Ranbir Kapoor after enjoying a brief spell of playful dalliance with Salman Khan.

Apparently, Salman is keeping low profile ever since he called off his relationship with Katrina, something which he has never done before in his past relationships with Somy Ali, Sangeeta Bijlani or Aishwarya Rai.


Strangely, this time the hunk of an actor is calm and composed, in fact, he didn’t even show his emotions to close family and friends. He is keeping a safe distance from Katrina so as to avoid any unnecessary controversy.

Talking to a daily, a leading B-town actress said, “Even now people are wondering if Kat and Salman are together. Or has she really moved on?” to which, an insider replied, “Bhai knows that Katrina has moved on. However, he has decided not to react. He just wants to let go.”

One hears that Salman`s closest friend, who also happens to be Katrina`s agent has reportedly advised both the actors not to speak about their split. “Kat and Salman sat down and spoke about their moving on like two mature individuals would. Both of them are riding a wave of super-success and they have decided to maintain a dignified silence on the whole split issue. Both are intelligent and they know that any tamasha would tarnish their images and take away from their brand equity. In fact this time Salman has endeared himself to the public even more because of the mature manner in which he has conducted himself,” added the insider.

Sonakshi Sinha Weight Loss Plan


Hard work
Talking about losing kilos, Sonakshi says, "It took two years of hard work, determination and will power. I knew it wasn't going to be easy when I started, but once I did, there was no looking back. It was a combination of proper diet and vigorous exercise that got me to the shape I am in now."

Describing her workout regimen, she adds, "I did weight training four to five times a week along with cardio. I eat small meals every three hours to keep me going." About her co-star she says, "Our fondness for each other is mutual! He saw potential in me and egged me on to lose weight. I would say his contribution was the highest as I started taking it seriously only after he told me to."

Diet secret
‘Stop eating carbs after six in the evening and drink several cups of green tea throughout the day.’

Sonakshi also insists that you must hit the gym along with keeping a check on your calorie intake.

Sports v/s gym

I like to workout with someone. My yoga instructor has helped me a lot. I also prefer yoga over aerobics and play tennis at times.

Quick tips on weightloss
Sorry there are no shortcuts! Sonakshi says that there is no way you can shed some kilos in a week.

‘Slow and steady wins the race, so I would never do anything drastic.’

Beauty advice
‘You must wash your face with a good face wash. Don’t use a soap for cleaning your face because it dries the skin. Avoid make-up if you don’t have to attend a glamorous do.’

What about style and clothes? ‘You must dress according to your body type’

Katrina Kaif spends the night at Ranbir's place

Katrina Kaif spends the night at Ranbir's place Karan Johar threw a party which, like all good things must, came to an end. But the night was still young for maybe-couple Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.

The who's who of Tinseltown was invited to KJo's party on Monday, at the Four Seasons' Hotel in Mumbai. Once the fun and games were over everyone headed home, Kat and Ranbir included - just not to separate homes!

The two stars left from the venue in their respective cars but reached the same destination - Ranbir's Bandra residence. Our photographer, who was following both the cars, saw Kat's car parked in Ranbir's garage. We also hear that Kat didn't leave till as late at 7am in the morning.

Just a few days back, there were reports floating about Ranbir spending the night at Katrina's residence very often. It was also reported that Ranbir was at Kat's house the night before the IT raid took place. Unlike Shahid, who was present at Priyanka's house the same day during the raids, Ranbir was just lucky enough to leave Kat's house before officials knocked on the door.

However, now that everybody knows of their clandestine affair, we just hope that Ranbir and Katrina don't hide their relationship behind the 'just good friends' cover up anymore. Ab bacha kya?

Yeh Saali Zindagi Movie Review

Review: Yeh Saali Zindagi is definitely one of the most erratic yet entertaining films directed by Sudhir Mishra so far. It is a raucous and expeditious roller coaster of fun, thrill and the element of unpredictability. Arjun played by actor Irrfan Khan is in love with Priya whose role is essayed by Chitrangdha Singh but she in turn bestows her love to Shyam played by Vipul Gupta. It is not over yet; Shyam is engaged to be married to the minister’s daughter.
Amidst all the confusion, Kuldeep played by Arunoday Singh who is a petty criminal enters the scene to further complicate matters. He kidnaps Shyam and holds him hostage so that the minister is compelled to acquit his boss Bade essayed by Yashpal Sharma who is currently under arrest. Priya somehow drags herself into this situation and decides to side with her love, Shyam. Arun who cares about Priya is pulled into the mess inevitably.
From the very beginning, the director ensures that the narrative is entirely under his control and introduces a multitude of characters with no clear distinction. The audience is allowed to move along with the progress of the film and acclimatize to the myriad characters. The storytelling gets erratic due to the ineffectual switching back and forth and the frequent change in voiceover as well. The film virtually runs too promptly hardly allowing the audience to grasp the feel but when the interconnections are revealed, it takes on an interesting turn.
