Deepika Padukone with Siddharth Mallya

Well, it’s not official as yet. But according to sources, model turned Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone and young Sidhartha Mallya son of Vijay Mallya are seeing each other and are a couple.

Their many appearances in public together and constant photos suggest many things, don’t they?

Rumors have that it all started in April, when Deepika was seen in Sidhartha’s VIP box. This was during the IPL matches when his team, the Bangalore Royal Challengers was playing. Deepika was like an additional brand ambassador despite the presence of Katrina Kaif, both of whom was cheering their team to good effect.

But apart from professional commitments, there was something personal attention given by the both of them. Sources say that only Deepika was believed to take time to think about the proposal and thinking about her decision to commit. The 24-year-old scintillating actress is still taking her time from her break up with Ranbir Kapoor. She isn’t really very keen to just jump into another relationship and that too that early as reports of their break up was just on the go.

There have been efforts to patch the two earlier, by their friends but nothing worked out. That is why Deepika and Ranbir never got together after that. And after her much needed break of around one month she has given a serious thought to her new found love, according to her close friend. The source also told that Deepika went to London after her busy schedule for the Mauritius grand prix, where they actually kind of got resurfaced everything. There is buzz in the industry that the two are a couple now.

Celina’s not so good experience at Kolkata airport!

Celina Jaitley

According to Celina Jaitley, some jawans took her case in a very cheap manner.

She was at the Kolkata airport and there were the Central Industrial Security Force (CIFS) jawans doing their ordered service. But according to Celina one of the jawans tried to misbehave with her.

She was carrying a costly branded bag and had asked for a tray to the airport authorities as she does it everywhere else in India and is quite used to it. So that she could get her bag pass through all the customs and intense security checks.

After sometime that she placed her bag on the tray, a jawan picked it up and banged it on the conveyor belt. This apparently damaged her bag That damaged the skin of the bag (which was rather too costly approximately worth Rs.1.25 lac).

According to the beautiful brunette actor, this wasn’t the end of it all. After this she tried to speak to the jawans regarding the event and spoke in Bengali with him, but the arrogant jawan carried on his behavior and supposedly told her not to talk in Bengali and said “Madam, yahan Bengali nahin chalti!”

A disgusted looking Celina was certainly very annoyed with this and was very upset about the whole incident. “Are we not allowed to speak in a language that we are comfortable in? Is every person supposed to speak in English?” is what she asked the authorities.

Troubled by this, she instantly logged a complaint about the entire incident to the management. But, four or five guys amongst the jawans ganged up on her and again started misbehaving and ridiculing her for having carried such a costly bag.

Solitary Rani!

Rani Mukherjee

After ages, Rani Mukherji made a rare appearance at the recent opening of a designer store in the city, and has agreed to be on Karan’s new show that has been produced by Yash Chopra. Except that, the actress has completely cut off all her ties with some of her regular Bollywood contacts and she almost never steps out of her house.

Currently, Rani is shooting for Rajendra Gupta’s ‘No One Killed Jessica,’ along with Vidya Balan. One of her close filmmaker friends says, “She goes to the studios only when required. Other than that, she has stopped communicating with all of us. I have tried to get her to come out for a movie or have dinner with us but she does not respond.”

Though her friends understand her very well that Rani needs her space right now, but they all are concerned about her and her reclusive behavior. They sincerely hope that this is just a temporary phase and Rani is not joining the ranks of some of the senior actresses like Tabu and Rekha who spend more time behind their locked doors than required.

Priyanka, Ranbir’s Love

2010-08-07T11:13:25Z

Priyanka, Ranbir

Just imagine a red plush vintage car, dusty after traveling miles; in it Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor, laughing and living it. This is the scene of every alternate day on the sets of Anjaana Anjaani, which is directed by Sajid Nadiawala.

This car is specially designed for the film in which these two actors travel everyday, in fact, they have made this car their second home. Our very own Piggy Chops has named this car as ‘Blush’ and Ranbir has made a special junk food compartment in this car. Priyanka used to play her I-Pod on the speakers of the car and both the actors would spend a lot of time in this car.

A close source said, “The car plays a very important role in the movie and many scenes have been shot inside it. It was previously known as Sunflower, but no one on the sets liked that name.”

The car has suddenly become an integral part of Ranbir and Priyanka’s life on the sets of Anjaana Anjaani. Priyanka was the one who suggested the name ‘blush’ and everyone loved it. Both the actors would treat their car as a human being and most of the crewmembers would join them in that. The two actors decorate and clean the car as well.

When asked Siddharth Anand about this he said, “Yes it is true. It is a vintage car and is called blush. It belongs to Priyanka’s character and it has to go along with her emotions. Priyanka spends most of her time in the car and she hangs her clothes and toothbrush in the car. The car is the third character of the movie and that is why I have used it in the film posters too. Since the car is supposed to be really messy in the film both Ranbir and Priyanka had fun trashing it further, the car traveled from New York to Las Vegas and then to San Fransico. Fortunately, it did not break down.”

The car also had a special space for Ranbir’s books, when the junk food in the car did not take all of the space. Siddharth also said, “Only after making all these additions these two actors feel comfortable in the car.”

Possessive Neil

Lafangey Parindey movie still

It is said that, “Love makes the world go round”. But it looks like Neil Nitin Mukesh is a firm film believer of the idiom. He says, “All the characters that I’ve played whether it was in Johnny Gaddar or Jail have behaved in the way they have because of love!”. Also in his next releasing film Lafangey Parindey, Neil has romanced with the lovely Deepika Padukone which has formed the focal point of the story. Though at the time of those movies we haven’t come across possessive Neil, which in this case has been talk of the town.

Don’t be taken away by the rough promos of Lafangey Parindey, Neil would rather describe it as a gritty love story instead. Neil Nitin Mukesh says, “My character in this movie is One Shot Nandu. He is a regular boy who is rebellious and ambitious and likes making his decisions on his own”.

What we are more interested in, is knowing about Neil’s love story in real life rather than his reel life love story. The actor, who broke off with his girlfriend back some time, is back on the single track. “But I do believe whole-heartedly in love and relationships,” he smile fully adds up.

The new relationship in his real life seems to have started forming with his leading lady from film Lafangey Parindey. But before you get any ideas in your mind, It is good to know that, Neil and Deepika really are very good friends. The actress has been going around city telling everyone about possessive Neil, that how great the light-eyed actor is. On the other hand, Neil also can’t stop talking about his gorgeous co-star. While he says “But I would rather like to talk about her as a person than as an actor,” he adds, “I keep telling her that her cute smile is one curved line that makes everything in this world go straight.” Neil describes Deepika as a cool, easy-going and simple girl.

“I am the one who feels real protective and possessive about her. She’s now a part of my family” the talented actor tells our reporter. Well now when Deepika has been the first actress to be kissed on-screen by Neil Nitin Mukesh who is quite shy in his real life, utna huq toh banta hai possessive Neil ka, we guess! What say Deepika?

Genelia’s last super hit film was Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Naa which was produced by legendary actor, Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood Aamir khan to launch his nephew. Since then it has been more than two years she has not delivered a hit. Though she was a part of 2009’s average performer at the box office, the multi-starrer Life Partner, but it did not provide much visibility and notification to her. Working with Imtiaz Ali will surely give a boost to chubby Genelia’s career, which she desperately needs.

Kareena Kapoor

He is famous for giving glam dolls of Bollywood a milestone in their career. After giving Priyanka Chopra Fashion and Bipasha Basu Corporate, this National Award winning filmmaker, Madhur Bhandarkar, claims that his new movie will lead Kareena to best film in her career. “Kareena has been wanting to work with me for quite a long time. But due to some reasone we had not been able to team up. She blindly trusts me and my talent and the feeling is mutual,” said Madhur Bhandarkar.

The film will hit the floors in December, and is already making buzz that Madhur is planning to give Kareena a new look. He wants to give Kareena iconic looks of all the Hollywood legendary actresses like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh and Eva Gardner. “This is going to be Kareena’s best performance of her life. I can guarantee that. She is a talented artist and she will be in her full bloom in this one,” added Madhur.

He always wanted to cover women issues and that has been his trademark in the industry. “People in industry are afraid to raise these issues. They think that it would not generate any interest in the audience. But, I am here to prove this notion wrong. All my films have had strong women characters and they have been liked by people,” said Bhandarkar. Talking about his strong female characters, Madhur says that all his heroines have thanked me for their roles. “Every time I meet Konkona she mentions how peope recognize her as Page 3 actress. Same is the case with Bipasha and Priyanka. It is nice to hear such things. I am equally proud to have worked with these actresses,” said Madhur.

However, before he starts shooting for another women centric movie, he is excited about his debut comedy movie Dil To Bacha Hai Ji, which is inspired by Gulzar’s lyrics in the film Ishqiya. He is working with an unusual star cast; Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi and Omi Vaidya. Madhur said that this movie will be a tribute to the famous comedian Hrishikesh Mukherjee and ensures that the audience will be surprised.

The audience will now get a taste of Madhur Bhandarkar’s comedy this December.
