| | | Awaiting my turn: Preity Zinta at a recent event | | |
…mehendi kab lagegi?' seems to be the question on Preity Zinta's mind. Well, from the buzz going around, it doesn't seem like it's going to be long before boyfriend Ness Wadia pops the question, eh?
We'll let you know when to pop the bubbly, so keep watching this space.
| Chetan's connection with Ash
As a child star, TV actor Chetan Hansraj has done several print ads.
Interestingly, one of the ads he did was with a girl who bears a striking resemblance to Aishwarya Rai.
As seen in the picture alongside, the young girl does have an Ash hangover.
However, Chetan isn't too sure if that's Miss Rai herself. "Frankly, I did this ad ages ago. I don't even remember how old I was then.
I'm not too sure if that's Ash, but maybe if she sees the picture she might remember!".
| Anupam plays dead
| | | I'm dead serious: Anupam Kher | Anupam Kher is playing his most challenging role yet in Rahul Rawail's comedy film, Buddha Mar Gaya.
"It's not easy playing dead on screen because it isn't just for one sequence, as I did in Khosla Ka Ghosla.
Nor did I have the luxury of closing my eyes and playing dead. I had to do the entire film with my eyes open!
Buddha Mar Gaya is my most deadly role yet," puns Kher, good-naturedly.
He adds that there was only one way in which he could have played dead without tripping over. "It was by thinking of nothingness.
You've to keep your mind completely free of thought. I went as blank as some of the so-called 'actors' I've worked with. In Mast Kalander, Rahul made me play a gay character.
I think it was the first character in mainstream Hindi cinema to come out of the closet. Now, Rahul has taken me out of the closet and put me in a coffin!"
Don't you just love this man's sense of humour?
| | Bhangda paale! | | |
We caught Dharamendra doing quite a groovy act at a recent event, and boy did he get jiggy in style!
At his age, he certainly seems to have more enthusiasm and energy than his two sons, Sunny and Bobby.
Seems like even after all these years, Dharam paaji hasn't lost his zest for boogeying the night away. We like! .
| Amisha's feeling bookish
Amisha Patel says that when she starts reading a book, she just can't put it down till she finishes it.
"I just finished reading Paulo Coelho's Like A Flowing River, which is a collection of short stories about little incidents in life.
I have read all of Khalil Gibran's books, and The Prophet is one of my favourites.
I have also read books by Brian Weiss and RK Narayan.
I love reading. In fact, I finished The Da Vinci Code in two days flat.
I read The Memoirs of a Geisha last week and would love to act in a film like that," says the bookworm.
However, now it's time for some romance, says Amisha. "Now that I am done with some heavy reading, I'm going to pick up some light reading and romantic books. "
