Priyanka Chopra Enter UTV Bindass 'Love Lockup" Programme

We already know that sugar ‘n spice lovebirds Kashmera Shah and Krushna (Govinda’s nephew) have been going through troubled times in their relationship. The latest is that instead of sorting out their differences in private, the couple have opted to be locked-up for a week on the UTV Bindass reality show ‘Love Lockup’ to thrash out their differences.

The more interesting part is that another Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra is entering the show to play narrator to Kashmera Shah and Krushna. Priyanka will give her views on love, life and relationships and try to persuade the couple to stay together. Sounds cool. But we wonder, if Kashmera and Krushna are aware that in her forthcoming film ‘Saath Khoon Maaf’, Priyanka actually marries SEVEN times.

Aditi Rao lips lock with Arunoday Singh in Yeh Saali Zindagi: Move over Mallika Sherawat, for Arunoday Singh and Aditi Rao have upped the stakes by kissing 22 times in Sudhir Mishra’s upcoming film Yeh Saali Zindagi.

Director Sudhir Mishra believes that a kiss is an aesthetic and natural expression of love. However, he has had to do away with kissing scenes in the past as the actors have been reluctant.

Even though both Rao and Singh were apprehensive of how their families would react, Mishra's directorial experience prevailed and he was able to calm the two.

Arunoday is the grandson of prominent politician Arjun Singh and Aditi Rao Hydari belongs to a princely background. Her grandfather from her mother’s side was Raja J Rameshwar Rao and Sir Akbar Hydari was her grandfather from her dad’s side.

The beautiful Aditi Rao, was seen in a simple role in Rakesh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi 6. Her Tamil movie Sringaram has won a few national awards, and she has also done the Malayalam ‘Prajapathi’ opposite Mammotty.

In Yeh Saali Zindagi, Aditi Rao is paired opposite Arunoday Singh, and is sharing screen space with Irrfan Khan and Chitrangada Singh.

Katrina Kaif & Ranbir Kapoor partying together at Night

Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor seen together: Just days after they were spotted enjoying a car ride on the streets of Mumbai, Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor have now been seen partying together at night.

Something is definitely brewing between Ranbir and Katrina. For the otherwise extra cautious couple has been letting their guard down lately, as if to let the world know that they are indeed an item.

Earlier last week, Ranbir took Katrina for a ride in his posh Audi R8 on the roads of Juhu and zoomed away when onlookers tried to click them. But on Friday night, the duo was less wary about being seen together.

We hear that Ranbir and Katrina walked in around midnight at a suburban lounge in Juhu. They stayed for a good number of hours and were seen partying together. The duo was clearly having a good time, if the eye-witnesses are to go by.

A friend of Katrina is quoted as saying that she had gone to the lounge with the crew of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Ranbir was there partying with his friends. So they met coincidentally.

Well, if it was a coincidence, it was a pretty romantic one.

Srilankan Beauty Jacqueline Fernandez compare her role in Murder

Jacqueline Fernandez

Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez has been signed for the sequel of 2004 hit film Murder. The film was a Box Office hit and the main reason was sizzling chemistry between Emraan Hashmi and hot Mallika Sherawat.

Jacqueline, who is only three films experienced in Bollywood, is little nervous about this role, which has been always related to the sexy Mallika. She knows that people will definitely try to compare her with the original actress so that comes as an added burden on her. She is worried about the competition she has to face.

However, the 25-year old Sri Lankan actress says that her character in Murder 2 is quite different from that of Mallika in Murder. She adds that the movie itself has a different thrilling story with different angle. She says comparison will come naturally but she is confident that every girl can relate to her character in the film. Emraan is continuing to be a part of the sequel, which will come with interesting and mysterious characters. The former beauty queen informs that her character is very sensuous, clever but balanced, which any girl can relate to. Jacqueline is also appreciative about her team in the film including producer Mukesh Bhatt and director Mohit Suri. She says they are very cool and like her family.

Deepika more comfortable with Saif Ali Khan

Deepika more comfortable with Saif Ali Khan: Deepika Padukone became very nervous on the sets of Aarakshan, but guess whose presence made her comfortable - that of her Love Aaj Kal co-star Saif Ali Khan.

The actress is in Bhopal to shoot for Prakash Jha’s next film Aarakshan. As Prakash likes to keep things very real, the shoot was in a college campus. Though the Om Shanti Om girl is a very confident actress, she started feeling uneasy after seeing a huge crowd gathered there to watch the shooting.

Deepika has never shot in Bhopal before and this is also her first time with a director like Prakash Jha. Things smoothened for Deepika only when Saif joined her for the latter half of the day for the shoot. “Deepika was much more comfortable when Saif came on set. He made her feel relaxed and put her at ease,” a source is quoted as saying.

Slowly and slowly the actress adjusted to the shoot in an alien place; later she also conversed with the college students.

Wah Saif boliye!

Why Priyanka forget her dialogues during her Shooting?

Priyanka Chopra was awe-struck by this man and he made her forget even her dialogues. His presence spellbinds the actress.

Who is he? His name doesn’t starts with ‘S’ guys! While shooting for 7 Khoon Maaf, Priyanka got the chance to work with the extremely talented Naseeruddin Shah whom she finds a tremendous actor. Naseer plays one of the husbands of Priyanka in the film and together they are shown doing some naughty scenes too.

Before starting work with him, Priyanka also had to do a workshop with the actor. “When I did the workshop, it kind of eased me out with Naseer sir but it’s very difficult to work with him because when he is doing a scene, he is so good that you just keep looking at him, and I used to forget that even I have to say a dialogue,” admits PC without any hesitation.

This was a learning experience for the actress who has come a long way in the industry and with 7 Khoon Maaf once again she will prove her

Katrina Kaif's wishes: Veteran Lyricist 'Gulzar' to pen one for her

Katrina Kaif's wishes: Veteran Lyricist 'Gulzar' to pen one for her: She is one of the most beautiful women in Hindi film industry, but surprisingly no one has ever written any romantic poems for Katrina Kaif, who believes love is the most beautiful thing in the world. The actress now wants veteran lyricist Gulzar to pen one for her.

"Nobody has ever written a poem for me. But if actually someone writes a poem for me, I think that will be very romantic," she said at the launch of Pritish Nandy’s book of love poems “Tonight, This Savage Rite”.

Looking her best in an off white-knee length dress, Katrina, 26, surprised everyone when she said: “I want Gulzar saab to write poems for me.”

Gulzar, 74, who has written innumerable songs for Hindi films and has many poetry books to his credit, was present at the event and said: “Inshallah, I would write a poem for Katrina for sure.”

The event was about love poems and it was but natural to know Katrina’s views on romance and the actress happily obliged everyone by sharing her opinion.

“Even though love is known to entail pain, disappointment, disillusionment, still I don’t want to be pessimistic about love. I would rather want to have a positive approach to love. I believe that there can be a happy ending, because love is the most beautiful thing in the world,” she said.

When asked about Valentine’s Day plans, she said: “I have no plans. I will be working on the day.”

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena shouldn't get married

Saif and Kareena shouldn't get married: Ajay Devgan is a happily married man but when he was asked to give some marital advice to Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, the actor said the couple shouldn’t get married. The incident happened at the ‘Koffee with Karan’ show where the host of show Karan asked the question during his famous ‘Rapid Fire round’.

Karan has been trying to get Ajay on his couch for the last two seasons and succeeded only this time around and the Golmaal actor has been nothing less than a riot and a shocker at the talk show. He has gone on to give some amazing answers at the show and without an iota of shyness Ajay gave the advice of Saifeena not to marry.

Well the media houses and the tabloids have started speculating the reasons on why Devgan decided to impart that kind of advice when he is married to Kajol for over a decade now. A source says that there is not much to read in what Ajay said as it was just part of fun and nothing serious into it.

But knowing Karan Johar, will he let such a remark pass-by just like that without prying into getting some more details about it, only the show can divulge more, since none of the

celebrities associated with the comment responded when asked. Even SOL’s managing director Fazila Allana, the show’s producer declined to comment on Ajay’s advice to Saifeena.

One thing that everyone says that Ajay was a blast at the talk show and in spite of being the sole guest, the episode is going to be an amazing one.
