So is Vidya Balan finally decided to stop playing coy and admit she actually has a boyfriend? Well it certainly looks like this from her recent interview to Subhash K Jha.

“The other evening I went to watch Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak perform Dear Liar at Prithvi theatre.” On being asked who accompanied her, she chuckles, “Ah, it was friend whose name begins with ‘S’. I’m not saying any more than that!”

“I don’t deny that Shahid is a very close friend. For the first time, I’ve worked with a co-star who’s actually closer to me by way of age, experience and temperament. We were together for two months in Toronto shooting Aziz Mirza’s Kismat Connection and we really got along well. I found him very calm and intelligent. I think we’re alike in many ways. I really enjoyed working with him. And I would love to do more films with him.”

Bipasha Basu won’t be attending beau John Abraham’s brother Alan’s wedding in Romania on May 25. Bips is currently shooting for Freeze, directed by Jehangir Surti. Originally, Bips was to fly down to Romania with John for Alan’s wedding to Anka, a Romanian girl. But now, the actress won’t be able to attend the wedding. She’s citing professional reasons for missing the big family function. Says a source from the industry, “Though John is maintaining a tight-lipped silence about Bips’s attendance, he’s a bit miffed about her absence at the first wedding in his family.”

Initially, the couple had planned to take a short summer holiday in Romania after the wedding as both had been leading a hectic lifestyle and weren’t able to spend too much time together. Now that plan stands cancelled too.

However Bipasha laughs off the rumours. “Please don’t make this an issue. The wedding is an important and auspicious occasion and there is no problem between John and me. It’s true that I can’t make it for Alan’s wedding. My schedule in Bangkok is too tight and they can”t shoot without me. But there is a proper reception for Alan and Anka on June 7, which I will attend. It’s sad that I will miss their wedding in Romania but I guess I will celebrate doubly at the reception.”

Bipasha has been leading a very hectic life for the last few months. “I have been in Italy and Switzerland for a month for Bachna Ae Haseeno. I can’t attend IIFA too as I have to be back for Alan’s reception. I couldn’t take off for the wedding because of the Freeze schedule.” Bips hasn’t been seen for a single IPL match in India. She says, “I have been out of India throughout the IPL matches. I enjoyed the Yash Raj schedule and now am enjoying the Bangkok one.” Besides Freeze, Bipasha’s next releases are Yash Raj Films Bachna Ae Haseeno, Sanjay Gupta’s Pankh and Rituparno Ghosh’s next.

Lara Dutta’s penchant for collecting watches is well documented by now. “It might seem like an obsession but it’s just an ecstatic feeling of owning that dream watch and now I feel that I have had too many of those dreams. I have watches from all over the world whether it be a designer one or an antique one and I still pick up one whenever I get the chance,” smiles Lara.

The ex-miss Universe has also launched her website recently and is very excited about it “I’ve launched my personal web site to be in touch with my fans globally. It has all the latest news and pictures of me and my fans can read and interact with me through it. It’s a great medium,” she says.

On the films she is doing this year, Lara says, “Last year had its ups and downs but it has taught me some really valuable lessons in life too. I’ve some great work coming up this year that I’m really looking forward to. I have another comedy film with Govinda Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai with B.R. Films and then a big action flick Blue with Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan! I’m excited to be back doing some action! Though I’ve enjoyed comedy, I have missed being part of other genres.”
