50,000! Yeah, a glorious, anxious and precious set of Abhishek Bachchan loyalists, numbering a whopping half a lakh, engaged Bachchan Junior in an online chat. And created cyber history of sorts!!

Incidentally, the number of fans desirous of chatting with the ‘Raavan’ rage built up sooooooooooooo mucccchhhhhh… that the server crashed!! And had to be reset.

Abhy Boy’s popularity has been steadily soaring… and with the phenomenal ‘Raavan’ buzz peaking, it was hardly surprising that a teeming set of admirers were also trying to chat up with the able star.

Incidentally, Hrithik Roshan had managed to pull in 27,000 fans during the pre publicity aura of ‘Kites’. Abhy Boy, however, has raced ahead!

Thje super sexy Kareena Kapoor wants to be well-rounded again. Well, she has recovered from her ‘Size Zero’ frenzy I guess. The actress, who was quite healthy as a teenager, once again wants to get back those curves, which she shed during the making of ‘Tashan’.

The actress, who is shooting ‘Golmaal 3’ in Hyderabad, revealed that, “For once, things are the exact opposite for the two of us. Lolo (Karisma) is trying to lose her post natal fat; and I’m trying to put on a little weight.”

“I want to be perfectly rounded. I’m bored of being too thin. And I actually enjoy eating at a neighbourhood café,” Kareena said.

Bebo is also missing her family like hell. “God I’m missing Mumbai and I’m missing spending time with Lolo and my nephew,” she said.

She has scaled tremendous heights in her seven-year-old career, pushing the boundaries with her performance in “Raajneeti”, but guess what Katrina Kaif wants to do now? A typical Yash Chopra-type love story.

“There are a lot of sides to me that are yet to be tapped. After having done ‘Raajneeti’, it isn’t that I am going to do just female-oriented roles because the film has worked in my favour. I want to keep exploring and experimenting with characters and filmmakers,” Katrina told to web media on phone from Spain.

“In fact, right now, I would love to have a one boy-one girl Yashji type of love story in hand or, say, play a loud, boisterous girl – something on the lines of Hemaji’s role in ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’. Those are fun and interesting roles too. Why limit myself?” asked the 25-year-old.

She is basking in the success of Prakash Jha’s “Raajneeti” where she wowed the audiences as a young, madly-in-love girl who becomes a pawn in the game of politics. In the last 10 minutes of the film, she is seen playing a chief minister and manages to leave a strong impact on viewers.

It has virtually been a case of jumping from the fire into the water for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.If fire is a recurrent motif in the cinema of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, water seems to be Mani Ratnam’s favourite element.

According to members of the cast in Raavan more than 80 percent of the film has been shot in, under, around or below rain and water in the forests, rendering Raavan the most hydro-centric film in the history of Indian cinema.

Says a member of the cast, “We were drenched to our skin constantly. Abhishek and Aishwarya were talking dancing singing reciting poetry in the water.”

Abhishek’s character of the outlaw even proposes to Aishwarya in the water.

According to a source, there comes a point in the plot where a cop’s wife begins to get attracted to the outlaw who kidnaps her.He proposes to her circling in the water instead of around the holy fire while Aishwarya stands at the river bank.
