She was rumored to have been married to actor Vinod Mehra in 1973, but in a 2004 television interview with Simi Garewal she denied being married to him referring to him as a "well-wisher".

Another man who has had his fill of marriages is the singing legend Kishore Kumar. he was married four times ~ Ruma Guha Thakurta, Madhubala, Yogita Bali and Leena Chandravarkar.

Bollywood is a name that reiterates glamour fashion and beauty. With all the sexy and beautiful ladies and macho men around, no one ever has a dull moment. And the moments become more spicy when these style divas dress in a way that make our eye brows rise with surprise and awe. We can only change our note of appreciation of AHA to a disdainful AAGH! Well, we are definitely talking about the outfit disasters that our Bolly brigade brings on either at their own will or due to some fashion maestro who treat them as hangers. Just take a look and fell free to laugh.

Here is today's beauty Lara Dutta who seems to be at an event. But why has she decided to dress up like a christas tree? Well only Lara can tell us. Darling, did you forget all those tips you got when you won the Miss Universe crown?



Well you may not believe it but this is realy Vidya Balan. No, don't ask me why this talented lady has come out in the open like this. After showering you with praises for all your films, the least we could expect out of you was that you would wear clothes that would only enhance your popularity. But... never mind; do not give this performance in your films please!




Yes, this is really Katrina Kaif! Don't fall down fronm that chair.... It is a pity why this damsel has dressed like this. She has a reputation of being the most well dressed lady along with Kareena. But some bug must have bit her. Kats, better watch out next time!

Now speaking of Kareena Kapoor, this is what happened to her inspite of her stylish boyfriend Saif! This is definitely a disaster! We wonder if this is the fate of all those people who are madly in love.... Kareena you better take care hon, after all you should have some nawabi in you given that the chhote nawab is your future husband.

But it is the Bachchan Bahu who steals the show you got to see how badly she can dress even after being offered roles in Hollywood. Those people who named a set of tulips after Aishwarya may want to rethink. Watch out Ash!
Very badly done! You need to buck up and take lessons from your still sexy sasurji.

Shilpa Shetty has her fingers in several pies. Though she’s busy with the IPL and the new club she launched in Mumbai, the actress-businesswoman is filling her schedule book with more entries. According to sources, Shilpa has recently signed on to judge Zara Naach Ke Dikha, a dance reality show to be aired on Star Plus. She seems to be at ease with the television after winning Big Brother and hosting a season of Big Boss and judging a season of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. Go ahead Shipla, we love your moves and grooves. Even if we do not see you on the silver screen, we will at least get to see you burn the small screen!

Dharmendra and Hema Malini, who have scorched the screen in popular films like ‘Sholay’, ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’, ‘Dream Girl’ and ‘The burning Train’ are coming together for a film after 21 years. Both will be doing a guest appearance in daughter Esha Deol’s forthcoming film ‘Tell Me Oh Khuda’.


It is believed that the role was earlier offered to Amitabh Bachchan who refused it and later, producer Hema Malini decided to cast husband Dharmendra and herself for it. “Amitji is not accepting any roles or movies at the moment. We wanted Amitabh to do a role but most probably Dharamji will do it now. We both will be part of ‘Tell Me Oh Khuda’. You will get to see both of us together in the film,” confirmed Hema Malini.

Remember Shiney Ahuja? Latest news on him is that he has completed his scheduled shooting for his upcoming movie Ek Accident opposite Soha Ali Khan. And above all it is his first movie after his release from jail.
Abhijit Chaudhary, the director of the film, along with Arindam Mitra of Guerilla Films is planning the movie for a summer release. Accordingly, it is said that the movie is in the genre of a psychological horror and is aimed at a niche audience. Shiney plays the role of Soha's husband in the film. Soha will also be seen in a different role with a different performance than Shiney. He plays a normal husband while Soha plays a disturbed wife trying to rediscover herself. Rahul Dev is also seen in the film.
Hope this film will mark the return of the actor back to the industry minus the maid hassles.

Popular South Indian beauty Asin Thottumkal is reported to be the heroine opposite John Abraham in the Hindi remake of master filmmaker Gautham Menon's super hit cop story Khakha Khakha (Tamil), starring Suriya and his actress-wife Jyotika. The shooting of this untitled Hindi remake is all set to begin in May under the direction of Nishikant Kamath. The original director Gautam Menon was originally expected to direct the Hindi version, but he stepped out of the project for some reasons.

"Although Genelia was considered for the remake, they dropped the idea as John had already worked with Genelia in Hook Ya Crook and they wanted a fresh pairing. Asin has already worked with Vipul Shah in London Dreams so they decided to sign her. The film is important for John at this stage of his career as his last three films Ashayein, Hook ya Crook and Abbas Tyrewala’s next film have been put on hold for various reasons," a source close to the makers was quoted as saying.

Katrina Kaif received a warm welcome at a media meet to promote her upcoming "Raajneeti" here Saturday evening, but the cold blast from the air conditioner had her shivering, until co-actor Arjun Rampal gallantly took off his coat and offered it to her.
Dressed in a short, sleeveless, pink dress, Katrina found it too cold at the venue. "It's way too cold here. It's so cold!" Katrina was seen whispering to Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal on the stage. While Ranbir chose to nod his head, Arjun displayed chivalry by taking off his black overcoat and handed it to Katrina. She immediately grabbed it and placed it on her legs, which were hidden behind a table on the stage. Moments later, actor Nana Patekar too was seen trying to get the temperature in control by requesting hotel officials to do the needful.

Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have earlier been seen in the film Khakee but that was not really a love story. So when Vipul Shah cast the two again in his film Action Replay, he was sure that he didn't want it to be an ordinary affair. The same brief went to Pritam too. Apart from the agreement the composer was asked to sign to give only original music, Vipul added that he wanted something "out of this world" and his enthusiasm got rubbed on to the composer.
"The music for the film will rock because I wanted to do something really good. Akshay and Ash make an interesting couple and that deserves some good tracks," says Pritam. The making of one of the songs - a Holi song - was revealed on the occasion of Holi a month ago. Pritam says special attention was given to the Holi song and the final climax song. We hope this refreshing couple adds some zing to the drooling career of Ash and Akki helps her get out of her plastic accent.

Vikram Bhatt directed Sushmita Sen in her very first film Dastak. What followed was a tumultuous relationship followed by a rather amicable breakup. Vikram never really lost touch with Sushmita and has admitted she holds a very special place in his life to this day. It therefore comes as no surprise that Vikram is set to cast her in his most expensive and ambitious project to date. After three back-to-back supernatural thrillers, Vikram is ready to make India’s first 3-D horror film, to be titled Yama Dwar.

Says Vikram, “How long can I go on tapping the genre in its given format? So I’m doing a 3-D horror film. The concept of the door to the other word is a part of Hindu mythology. I’m ready to tackle the subject on cinema - it has never been done before. But it has to be done on a lavish scale.” The technical expertise, says Vikram, will have to be imported. As for the casting, Vikram says, “It is an out-and-out female-centric film. I need a strong, assertive, beautiful actress who is in touch with her spiritual side.” And who better than Sush, right Vikram? After all you know too well how strong she is... ok folks stop imagining; we meant it in terms of character and moral strength.

Sanjay Dutt is slowly winning his battle against the bulge. The actor, who was criticized for his lack of physique in Blue and All The Best, has lost 22 kgs. His waistline is down to 32 inches which he admits he last had in his teenage days. He has managed to do this thanks to a special alcohol-free diet recommended by his new trainer Shereveer Vakil. Sanjay admits he was surprised when he started losing weight from the first day of the new diet, even before starting his exercise regime.

Shereveer, who is also the trainer for Ajay Devgn, Kajol and Tabu, however credits the transformation to Sanjay's determination and Maanyata's support. He says he did motivate Sanjay to give up alcohol, but it was Sanjay's self-motivation that did the actual trick. Meanwhile, Sanjay is happy not only with his new physique but with the new clothes he has bought to replace the big old ones.

Sanjay also followed a special diet to get into shape an look fab. "Sanjay went on this special diet in June. It required him to take lots and lots of fattie food and no carbohydrates at all. In fact carbs would've been potentially lethal for this diet. In no time Sanjay started losing weight. And that too without having to give up his favourite food," a source close to Sanjay said. The 50-year-old, who is looking trimmer, plays an assassin out to get his victim with a sniper rifle in Mani Shankar's "Knock Out".

Emraan Hashmi has found a friend in South African supermodel Shella Alan and allegedly, has been seen spending quality time with her. Shella was also seen in a miniscule role in Suparn Verma’s Acid Factory. She plays Emraan’s love interest, apart from debutante Neha Sharma, in Mohit Suri’s Crook. The cast and crew returned on Wednesday after a monthlong schedule in Cape Town. A source reveals, “The Cape Town schedule was fun, where they worked all day long and the cast and crew partied on alternate nights. Shella plays a stripper in the film and was on the sets for around two weeks.”

Of course, pretty women are always part of the entourage on the film set. Shella is a local and played the role of a guide adeptly. The source continues, “Emraan and Shella got along like a house on fire and she accompanied the boys whenever they went out clubbing. She dropped in on the sets, even when she was not required and was seen chatting with Emraan. Her spending so much time with Emraan raised a lot of eyebrows. Everybody could sense the special bond.” The bonding session will spill over to Mumbai soon. “Shella will be coming to India in the first week of April for the remaining shoot,” adds the source. Despite repeated attempts, Emraan Hashmi remained unavailable for comment. Thats no problem Emraan; we know how much you enjoy the company of ladies and how well you do the kiss act. So when your co-star plays the role of a stripper, it gets all the more easier....

Reportedly, ace director Mani Ratnam has approached actor Silambarasan to dub for Abhishek Bachchan in Raavan, the filmmaker’s magnum opus. Raavan, said to be the modern adaptation of the epic Ramayana, revolves around Ravana, the ruler of Lanka, who kidnapped Sita. The story culminates with Sita taking the side of Raavana instead of Rama, who suspects her chastity after having spent so much time in Ravana’s custody. Vikram plays the villain. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are the lead pair in Hindi, while Vikram will play the lead opposite Aishwarya in Tamil. Music is by Oscar winning A.R. Rahman. Raavan is produced by Mani Ratnam's sister Sharda under Ratnam's banner Madras Talkies. But the reason for this decision is yet to be clarified. Is it for the political turmoil in which the Bachchan's are caught or is it something else?

The extremely talented actor Akshay Kumar is so impressed with director Sajid Khan for the way his film "Housefull" has turned out to be that he gifted him a limited edition Tag Heuer watch to Sajid.

According to sources "Akshay Kumar watched a couple of scenes of the film and loved it. After viewing those few scenes there is no doubt in his mind that the film will do well. He gifted Sajid Khan a watch to show his appreciation," said sources. The romantic comedy is a story of normal people caught in abnormal situations sparked off by a white lie. The film stars Deepika Padukone, Ritesh Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan and Arjun Rampal apart from Akshay.

Sajid Khan also denies reports that his upcoming film 'Housefull' matches a scene from Hollywood comedy 'The Hangover', stating that he is not dumb enough to rip off a scene from a film which is a recent hit. The scene in question involves a tiger. Ever since the promos of the Akshay Kumar-Lara Dutta starrer hit the screens, rumour mills started buzzing that Sajid has lifted the particular scene from 'The Hangover'. "I could see these accusations coming. Yes, there is a tiger in the house, but I'm not dumb enough to rip off a scene from a recent hit film, tweak my original screenplay of 'Housefull' to forcibly incorporate it and then show it to the audience through promos so that rumour mongers can start debating about a lift from 'The Hangover'," the motor mouth Sajid Khan said.

The latest buzz doing the rounds in Bollywood circles is that the film ‘Raavana’s director Mani Ratnam had taken a real life like shot in one of the scenes, which nearly froze the unit due to fright for a moment.

It so happened that the director, who had undergone a bomb scare in real life, when a bomb was hurled at him and luckily it burst in mid air just before it reached him, wanted to incorporate this particular scene in his film ‘Raavana’. Now, the two leads that is, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and the south star Vikram, were to be the ones to be attacked with the bomb. For the shoot, a petrol bomb was to be used, this had to be hurled from a distance of 25 feet, and it was supposed to burst mid air just 15feet from where the stars were.
This bit of the scene was to be done with utmost accuracy. As everyone on the sets, including the action director were quite tensed, the leading actors, Aishwarya and Vikram, very bravely enacted the scene. The action master also had done the required act perfectly; the bomb exploded exactly the way the director wanted it to. The actors braved it out and no one had the guts to say that they would not be able to do the stunt scene, out of fear, as no one wanted to upset the respected director’s wish. However, since the shot has already been Okayed, it remains to be seen how effective it will be for the film.

For the very first time in his Bollywood career, Salman Khan is all set to shed his on-screen good boy image and get into the bad guy’s shoes. The hot hunk has been media’s favourite target since past many years, and he will soon portray the darker side of his personality on the big screen.

Salman Khan is currently shooting for brother Arbaaz Khan’s production ‘Dabang’ in Panchgani. Sources from the sets tell us that Salman plays a negative character in the film. “Salman plays a cop in ‘Dabang’, but his role is different from the devoted, ‘ desh-bhakt ’ cop he played in ‘Wanted’. He’s a corrupt policeman in ‘Dabang’,” said our source. Salman is paired opposite Shatrughan Sinha’s beautiful daughter Sonakshi Sinha, who makes her Bollywood debut with this film. Younger brother Arbaaz Khan is also playing an important role in the film and is paired opposite Mahie Gill, who shot to fame with her bold roles in Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Dev.D’ and ‘Gulaal’.

Along with Arbaaz’ debut at production, ‘Dabang’ also marks Abhinav Kashyap’s directorial debut.

Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Ra One’ is one of the most eagerly awaited release because it has got some really cool action sequences are it brings together the super hot chemistry between Shahrukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor.It is believed that the Bollywood film has a whooping budget of $22 million However, it is not the budget and the casting which makes the movie so special. News has it that Shahrukh Khan will be wearing one of the most expensive body suit throughout history in this film. It is believed that the suit, keeping in mind, the body of Shahrukh Khan and specially designed for him has costed nearly $220,000.

Apart from that, it has been reported that in order to make the special outfit, warm liquid was poured on his body and once it got hard, it was taken off from Shahrukh’s almost naked body. Khan, in an interview recently declared that making this film was a unique attempt on part of Red Chilies Entertainment and they sincerely hope that their efforts are successful. He commented that the film is a deviation from the films they usually make and he is hopeful that the audience will like it. Hmmm, that is wishful thinking Mr. Khan, after the results of Ashoka!

Well, we can’t wait to see how sexy King Khan looks in that special outfit.

Actress Kareena Kapoor might soon be seen in a memorable role, playing one of the biggest actors known to cinema.

Kareena will be seen in Bhandarkar's next ambitious project. Reports suggest that he was longing to make a film on the Hollywood star's life. Sources claim that the film will be inspired by the American actor's controversial life. In fact Bhandarkar has been so dedicated that he has been researching on the subject for quite sometime now. While Bhandarkar has found the girl to play Monroe, he is still looking for the male lead for the movie. But for now all eyes are fixed on Kareena. First a role in the Indian adaptation of Hollywood movie Stepmom and now a role that can make any actor go green with envy. Kareena surely has her kitty full with roles she would have dreamt of.

The film-makers are apparently paying Celina a bomb, a figure that will make her the highest paid Bollywood actor in Hollywood till date.

The movie is set to go on the floors by the end of this year. The film-makers have seen her work before, zeroing down on her for this role that is sure to give her career a facelift after it is on the verge of dying a swan's death in Bollywood....
