That Amrita Arora broke up with her last boyfriend Usmaan and is currently in the arms of the sauve businessman Shakeel Ladak is stale now. What the latest issue of ‘Grazia’ has to offer is the candid confession and revelation of her relationship from this bold and sexy girl.

Amrita graces the cover of the magazine looking more charming than ever and proclaims, “Yes, I am crazy about Shakeel. I am completely cuckoo about him and we love being together. He is extremely stable, extremely responsible, and not at all wishy-washy about anything”.

She goes on to describe the qualities of her beau as, “Shakeel is a fiercely private person and though he understands that all the media attention is a part of being with me, he chooses to stay away from it. If people want to take potshots at my relationship, I can’t do much about it, but I won’t learn from it. My boyfriend is going to come with me to events, I won’t compromise on that!”

It is the time for South beauties to rule Bollywood now. After Asin took everyone by surprise bagging some plum projects with big Khans of Bollywood, Lekha Washington is the latest south side actress to join Bollywood. Lekha has been chosen to star opposite Rajeev Khandelwal in UTV’s new film, ‘Peter Gaya Kaam Se‘. She was chosen since UTV needed a heroine who could play football, ride the bike, look like a super model, do martial arts, and be everything from cold-hearted to a girl next door.

An NID graduate, Lekha is a powerhouse of talents being associated with theatre, adventure sports, sculpting, and hosting travel shows. Apart from being a qualified documentary filmmaker, Lekha co-hosted the first season of the Indian Premier League with Ajay Jadeja on Sony Max. A Maharashtran Burmese Italian Punjabi hybrid, Lekha Washington is quite a known name in Tamil Cinema.

In October 2008, Lekha had hosted the Al Barakha Canada Cup Twenty20 tournament on international television. She has also hosted travel shows around the world, and been an active theatre enthusiast for much of the last eight years, directing her theatre group Khel.

When Shilpa Shetty stepped into the IPL arena along with her beau Raj Kundra, it was quite evident that glamour would seep into the cricket field. Shilpa has kept her promise of making a music video for the team and the theme song for the Rajasthan Royals will be composed Anand Raj Anand who is a close friend of the lady.

Apparently, the basic song of the Rajasthan Royals (‘Halla Bol’) will remain unchanged, but the music that accompanies it will be changed. The lyrics of the anthem will be some what like, ‘Phir vahi lalkar hai, phir kanon mein goonj rahi jeet ki jhankar hai.’ The song will be sung by Anand Raj Anand himself along with Monali Thakur with Shilpa shooting a sizzling music video to promote her cricket team on the choreography of Ken Ghosh. The buzz is around that approx. 3 crores will be spent on the music video.

Says Shilpa excitedly. “I’m so glad Ken is making an exception for me. We chose Anand Raj Anand because he’s an expert at catchy folk songs. I first worked in a film with his music when he scored for Pardesi Babu. I was simply bowled over by the numbers. Today when I hear the song he has composed for our team I feel deeply enthused.”

Celina Jaitley has time and again raised her voice against abusive and rude behavior against women, be it in foreign land or India. Recently, she again faced rude misbehavior from authorities at New Delhi airport while she was going through the security check for her morning flight to Mumbai.

That day there was special security check for the Valentine event in the city but what left Celina shocked was that her expensive state of art iPod and Blackberry were scratched while quite a few other things in her bag were broken after the scanning of her belongings. Worse still, the cops who were apparently responsible for the damage, were found smiling even as Celina was complaining against them.

“I agree that authorities there are doing their duty and we too are completely cooperating with the security measures. It is for our own benefit and I understand that we should comply with them. However, who gives them the right to mishandle things belonging to others? It was heartbreaking to see my stuff in a bad shape. Both my iPod as well as Blackberry have lost their sheen due to callous attitude of men who were doing the scan,” said Celina.

“These guys don’t know how to behave with women. I went up to the officer in charge and all he could say was ‘Sorry’? Also, they told me in no uncertain terms that they couldn’t repair what was broken. Moreover, the guys who did it were grinning in front of him. What a shame! Someone ought to teach these cops how to behave with women”, she added.

Celina is thinking of approaching higher authorities and apprise them about what transpired with her at the airport. “I was not only angry with them for breaking my stuff but for their misbehavior with other women. They are there to secure us and not to humiliate, insult and manhandle us, especially women. They are misusing the power of uniform everywhere now-a-days. At the end of the day we are paying passengers and they can’t break our things, insult us and indulge in indecent behavior,” she said adding,
“True, the women there were thanking me and one of them even said that I did what they couldn’t have possibly done in fear. Well, nice to hear this as a compliment, but my request to all womenfolk out there is – ‘Fight for yourself and raise your voice in events like this’. Till the time we don’t come out in open and let the authorities know that they are there to help us and not harass us, such shameful things would continue to happen.”
