Her debut ‘Dabangg’ was a big hit, but unfortunately most of the limelight was hogged in by Malaika Arora Khan with her item number’ Munni Badnaam Hui’. Talking about Sonakshi Sinha, the girl had made her desire to groove on an item number very clear and sure enough, we will now have Sonakshi displaying her dancing skills and her oomph factor in a special song in her forthcoming ‘Joker’. The song is titled’ Dance Karle English Mein, Nach Le Hindi Mein’ and has lyrics in ten languages.
An excited Sonakshi says, “I’m finally going to dance in Joker. I wouldn’t call it an item song because I’m the film’s heroine and item songs are performed by guest artists. But, I know it will be well shot and lavish and aesthetic because it’s being choreographed by Farah Khan.”
Sonakshi Sinha will be seen romancing Akshay Kumar in this comedy caper made by Sirish Kunder. The song is set in a village and was shot in Chandigarh and has Sonakshi looking sexy in an ankle length red and gold lehenga, along with backless choli and a dupatta.
Here is a glimpse of Sonakshi grooving to the number……
Mallika Sherawat is known not only for her sex appeal but also for a rather big mouth. However, there is one person who swears to the innocence and simplicity for our sex kitten and he is none other than the very talented actor Om Puri.
When Om Puri got an opportunity to work with Sherawat, he was rather apprehensive because of Mallika is known for her attitude and the habit of throwing tantrums on the sets of her films.
However, when Om Puri met and shot a song with Mallika recently, he discovered that the actual Mallika was just the very opposite of her image. He describes her as a very “down to earth” and “innocent” person. The two bonded well hailing from neighbouring states, Mallika from Haryana and Puri from Punjab.
Now that Puri is so very impressed and taken over by Mallika’s goody goody nature that he calls her with a new name ‘Mallika Sharafat’!!
Koena Mitra was last in news when she had a milkshake named after her. Since then, the news columns have been missing her as the girl had shifted her base to LA and was hunting hard for a Hollywood project. After putting in a lot of efforts, the girl has started her first Hollywood film, Story of Naomi, being produced by Michael Hirshenson of the When Harry Met Sally fame and directed by the ace fashion photographer Ash Gupta.
The movie has Koena play a bisexual girl who gets attracted to men and women equally. The movie also features actor Kevin Sorbo and Chris Devicchio. The first poster of the film shows Koena getting intimate with another girl.
Producer Hirshenson is all praises for Koena and says, “She looks international and her discipline and hard work can take her places. It all depends on how much she’s ready to learn.”
And it seems, the producer is quite right as this model-turned-actress has worked on her accent and was taking classes for it as the West puts more stress on dubbing and other technicalities.
All we can say is ‘Way to Go Girl’!!

Vivek Oberoi has not had much happening in his career lately apart from his last ‘Rakhta Charitra’, but if reports are to be believed, he is about to get one of the most challenging roles of his life, the villain in the sequel to ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ and ‘Krissh’.
There have already been a lot of rumors about the cast of this role right from Ajay Devgan to Shah Rukh Khan and even Rana Daggubati, but Vivek Oberoi has finally bagged the role.
As for the direction part, since Rakesh Roshan has not directed a single film in the last five years, he wanted to have an outside director and had even approached Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra to direct the film. At last, he decided to take the reins of direction in his hands. For the negative role, he wanted someone ultra-cool, stylish with gray shades. The villain in the film is witty, smart, edgy and somewhat evil- like the joker in the Batman series, and Vivek fits in the requirements perfectly. The film is scheduled to go on the floors in October this year and Vivek is yet to sign on the dotted lines.
31- year old actress, Konkona Sen Sharma, who tied the knot with Ranvir Shorey in September and delivered a baby boy on March 15, graces the cover of OK! magazine for the month of April. The actress and husband Ranvir Shorey have named their newborn Haroon.
Rahul Bose broke the news on Twitter saying, “Massive congratulations to @konkonas and Ranvir! A boy it is. With those genes, the dynasty is secure. (sic)”
Actor Vivek Oberoi and tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi also congratulated the couple.
In the latest issue of OK! India, Koko talks about pregnancy and motherhood. She says, “The pregnancy has meant a complete change in lifestyle. I used to be a smoker, overnight I couldn’t smoke or drink at all.”
“He (hubby Ranvir Shorey) is very good with kids, thank God, because I am really awkward around children.
We were both keen on having a baby soon though — because you know they say you should have your kids before a certain age. We’ve been saying, “Maybe next year,” for some time and on my last birthday, mom said, “Okay, you want to freeze your eggs now?!” This has happened at the right age and the right time for us and we couldn’t be happier.”

If 27 year old Ankita Joshi has reasons to celebrate for being the first woman in the world to paint under zero gravity conditions, so has Salman Khan, for he is the one who has been painted by the girl.
“I am a huge fan of Salman Khan… he is my favourite and I loved his film Dabangg. He has a great personality. I wanted to start with him,” she told reporters.
She painted Salman – as Chulbul Pandey – within two eight-second trajectories above Florida, USA, on March 27. She flew in a Rockwell Commander aircraft along with a doctor, under the supervision of space agency NASA. The aircraft nosedived to create zero-gravity conditions for about four minutes, when she painted. Ankita had taken a proper training with under ex-NASA astronaut, Greg Claxton.
“I was able to experience the void of gravity, not just physically, but mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. I painted series of canvases,” she said adding, “Painting in the space was not easy as everything from the canvas to the crayon was floating. “We tried to fix the canvas with rods but it did not help. I was constantly banging my head on the ceiling… I remained dizzy and sick.”
Ankita plans to gift the painting to the 45-year-old actor and she will display her zero-G paintings at the Jehangir Art Gallery here from April 21 to 27.
Aishwarya Rai has already worked with National Award-winning director Rituparno Ghosh in ‘Chokher Bali’ and ‘Raincoat’ and has been appreciated by critics for her performance in both the flicks. Once again, she will work under the direction of Ghosh, this time for the role of a bandit queen in the adapted film version of Devi Chaudhurani.
Devi Chaudhurani is a novel by Bengali writer Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in 1884 and is regarded as one of the most popular novels of its times. In order to get a grip into her character, Ash has asked for the DVDs of Suchitra Sen’s film which is about how a typical affluent housewife turns into the leader of a pack of dacoits.
Ghosh and Ash have sat together a couple of times to work on the storyline of the film and how it should be adapted in a modern context and now, as the script has been finalized and handed over to Ash, she is about to allot dates for the shooting. The film will in all probability be a Hindi-Bengali bilingual.
Born on November 9, 1984 in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad to Veena Rohatgi and Shashank Rohatgi, small time actress Payal Rohatgi shot to fame only after her stint in the reality show Big Boss. Brought up in a middle class family in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Payal has been struggling for long to gain a foothold in the film industry but could not attain much besides some small budget B-grade films.
However, she has been in news off and on due to her ugly spats with film makers. Recently, director Sudhir Mishra alleged that he had received a number of intimidating and threatening text messages from the actress a few days ago. Taking a step further he has filed a complaint to the police against Payal Rohatgi for sending threatening messages to him.
Sometime back, Payal also had a ugly war of words with filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee when she had accused Dibakar of asking her to lift her shirt on the pretext of calling her fat. Payal said that when she refused his advances, she was denied the role she had earlier worked so hard for.
Payal had commented, “I think Dibakar is hallucinating that I am disturbed. He is the one who goes to a shrink to ask why he can’t be monogamous… no revertal, no reply from a man who’d earlier call me 20 times a month.”
It is high time now that the girl concentrates on her career than trying to attain cheap publicity with these stints!!
