rani for the Munnabhai trilogy fame is coming up with another film and this time it is loosely based on Chetan Bhagat’s famous book 5 point someone. Its titled 3 idiots and has Aamir Khan in lead with Kareena Kapoor. Quite an unusual pair, this.

Hirani said, “we are literally off to a flying start. It was amazing to shoot inside a real aircraft. We are really excited and raring to go.”
Apart from Aamir and Kareena we will see Boman Irani, Sharman Joshi and R. Madhavan.

Good opportunity for Kareena, Aamir was the only Khan she never worked with.

Born on January 24, 1981 in Kolkata, West Bengal, Riya is the daughter of Moon Moon Sen, a former actress, and granddaughter of Suchitra Sen, a legend in Bengali cinema. Before moving to Mumbai, she lived in Kolkata with her parents and sister Raima Sen, also an actress. Her father Bharat Dev Varma is a member of the royal family of Tripura. Her paternal grandmother, Ila Devi, was the princess of Cooch Behar, whose younger sister Gayatri Devi is the Maharani of Jaipur. Her paternal grandmother Indira was the only daughter of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III of Baroda. Riya’s maternal great-grandfather Adinath Sen was a prominent Kolkata businessman, whose father Dinanath Sen was the Diwan or a Minister of the Maharaja of Tripura. The sisters are credited on-screen under their grandmother’s maiden name, although their official papers carry the surname Dev Varma.

PEOPLE also reports why she has always guarded her private life, especially moments spent with former business partner turned boyfriend Raj Kundra.  But she doesn’t deny that her relationship with Raj, who is based in London, is everything that she had imagined.  Fighting back Raj’s ex-wife Kavita’s allegations that Shilpa is a home-wrecker, the actress tells PEOPLE that she met Raj after his separation from Kavita and that she (Shilpa) could never have pursued him because she is “old-fashioned for that”.

After Kareena Kapoor bubbly Minissha Lamba is going to go sexy by donning… hold your breaths.. a stark white bikini. The actress is all set to bare herself in Kidnap.

And the bubbly actress who we have always seen in full clothes doesn’t mind all the skin show, she says, ” When I was told about my role, Sanjay was clear-cut and told me at the outset itself that some scenes needed me to wear a bikini and that too a white one! “

Minissha also revealed her fitness routine for turning her body sexy, “I did the usual dieting gymming routine to get a bod for the bikini.”

But for Minissha donning a bikini was not tough but finding a white bikini was toughest, ” The toughest part was finidng a stark white bikini. Normally they are in fluorescent colors or bright hues. But my designer Shilpa Bhatia who was styled me for the film managed to fine one. We shot the scenes in Mauritius. Though I know swimming, doing it in the ocean is different.”

Kidnap is newbie Imran Khan’s second movie and shows him in a completely different avatar.

The gorgeous Payal Rohatgi experienced an image makeover in the house of Bigg Boss recently.

When Rahul Mahajan was voted by the other house members to play Krishna on the occasion of Janmashtami, it didn’t surprise many that he chose the lovely actress to be his Radha.

Payal had to shed her celebrity image and serve her Krishna as a task. Is there more happening than meets the eye between this on screen Radha Krishna duo or is it nothing more than two people carrying out a task?

Q. You have been for a long time now in Bollywood. Which were your best days of your professional career?
A. Starting from Shola Aur Shabnam to 1997 released film Bade Miya Chote Miya, was the best period of my life as during that period I did some good roles and that too with innocence.

Q. Now too the innocence in visible in the roles you play. How do you manage to treasure that innocence?
A. As one takes care of his/her house so that it looks attractive to him/her as well as others. Likewise one should also make sure to regularly clean his/her mind thinking of Saraswati Maata. I also do the same thing.

Q. Now-a-days you are known to divert your attention more towards spiritualism; any special reason behind it?
A. I am moving towards spiritualism due to my mother. For the start, I was very hot-tempered and had to indulge in fights. But once I got inspired by my mother’s teachings and became her student, life changed for me. I learnt a lot of good things from my mother. At the same time I learnt that those who are hot tempered get to meet people who are much more hot tempered than him/her.

Pakistan’s cricket captain, the dashing Shoaib Malik, is dating former Miss India and Bollywood actress Sayali Bhagat. This reporter bumped into them at a South Mumbai hotel where Shoaib was staying when they ventured into a beauty parlour in the lobby. Sayali, of course, is instantly recognisable; but Shoaib pretended to be somebody else! When he realised that he had been well caught, the Pakistani cricketer gamely signed autographs for hotel staff.

Sayali, who made her debut opposite Emran Hashmi in The Train, had hoped to keep their relationship under wraps. “We need more time because we are just getting to know each other,” she explained. Shoaib, meanwhile, could not have started off on a more sticky wicket: he was recently in the news when a Hyderabadi family claimed that he had married their daughter. Sayali defended her man, “This was a marriage proposal that he said no to. Those allegations have been legally proved baseless. Shoaib was always single!” Read the rest of this entry »

Sonam Kapoor has been in the news for quite some time, although for reasons she couldn’t care less for! Her alleged tiff with Deepika and Ranbir and thus her backing out of projects featuring either of them are stories doing the rounds on the front page of dailies! We got in touch with Sonam to know her side of the story and the otherwise excited girl sounded really worried about the entire issue.

Before running for her dance rehearsals Sonam took some time out and told us “I wonder from where these rumours about me disliking Deepika and vice versa come from! She is Ranbir’s girlfriend and since Ranbir and I are friends, I know her like that… beyond that I have never got an opportunity to interact with her much. She is a lovely girl and because of the stories created by the media about our rivalry it might get awkward for us to come closer! Ranbir is a dear friend and we all do meet up occasionally. There is nothing more to this story.” Read the rest of this entry »
