The last thing one would expect out of nubile and sexy Kangana Ranaut would be to desire for grandchildren, but it is true that the gorgeous gal does not have romantic desires while shooting at the exotic and picturesque locales of Switzerland. Instead, the atmosphere there makes her long for children and grandchildren.
Commenting on the shooting location, Kangana said, “All I can see here are old couples spending time with their children and grandchildren. It makes me long for grandchildren.”
Moreover, since the scenery of Switzerland bears a similarity to her hometown, Manali, Kangana feels homesick and misses her family and home as she is on a long shooting schedule abroad.
How far could a producer go in taking care of the wishes of the leading lady of his film? Well, he could at least gift a new mobile phone. This is exactly what producer Ajay Devgan has done for Bipasha Basu who has just finished shooting for Ajay Devgan’s comedy ‘All The Best’ in Goa this week.
Bipasha had worked really hard with most sincere efforts for Ajay’s film. She not only worked late at night and early in the mornings, she also kept the phone switched off during the shooting thus cutting off from everyone including beau John Abraham who has hurt his legs. Bipasha also agreed to do an additional role in ‘All The Best’ without extra charges. When Ajay came to know that Bips wanted a Blackberry phone, he thought it would be just the right move to show his appreciation for her dedication.
Says the actress, “Yeah, Ajay knew I wanted it. In fact it was he who got me interested in. It is actually a gift in appreciation for working long hours and changing at lightning speed between shots when we had loads of work to finish. Ajay is a fabulous producer and co-star.”
Bipasha is all ga-ga for her new phone and says, “I love it! I’m going totally crazy with it. Though I’ve no numbers on it and am trying to figure it out, I just can’t get enough of it.”

Remember Kalki Koechlin? The same girl who debuted with Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Dev.D’ where she played the character of Chandramukhi. This Indian actress with French descent has also done some modeling assignments for smaller screen. Though she is well versed in Tamil, English and French, she had to learn Hindi for her role in Dev.D.
Kalki got rave reviews for her performance in Dev D. Hindustan Times read, “Kalki shows sparks in the scenes. Enter Chanda, the multilingual call girl who can seduce in Hindi, Tamil, English and French. With her bee-stung lips, unusual face and refreshing lack of acting guile, Kalki Koechlin imbues the part with a touching fragility.”
Kalki has also won the Hindu metro playwright award 2009 along with Prashant Prakash for their co-authored entry ‘Skeleton Woman.’ She had also acted in the play “Hair” directed by Ajaykrishnan.

On one hand where Kareena Kapoor will be seen in a super glam avatar for ‘Kambakkth Ishq’, she sports a completely de-glam or you could say a geeky look for Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’ where she plays the role of Neha, the professor’s daughter, from the book ‘Five Point Someone’. Aamir Khan, on the other hand, would be playing the handsome and genius Ryan. Sharman Joshi plays the role of Alok and Madhavan will be Hari, who adores Ryan and wants to be like him.
The cast and crew were in New Delhi at Connaught Place for the shoot of the film where Kareena was spotted wearing spectacles and Aamir was seen handling a strange machine named ‘virus inverter’.
The crew has already shot in Shimla, Ladakh, Bangalore and Mumbai. When they shot at the Pangong Lake in Ladakh which is 13,900 feet above sea level, Kareena went breathless due to the lack of oxygen.
“We had little oxygen, no electricity and no hot water. On top of that, I was in a wedding ghagra-choli outfit in that freezing cold, can you imagine! The wind almost swept me off my feet,” said Kareena.
To protect herself from the freezing cold, Kareena wore thermal heating along with her outfit. “But that was of very little help. Finally the unbearable cold was all worth it for a wonderful film. The boys (Aamir and Madhavan) were great fun. And Raju Hirani is a gem.”
