Soha Ali

After the goading the youth to awaken in Rang De Basanti, Soha Ali Khan now urges the Finance Minister to push his team to implement the Union budget, "I think the budget is good. The focus now remains on how it will work." Finance jargon comes easy to Soha (remember she is a banker-turned actress?).

"Though Bollywood has been given an industry status, our issues have not been addressed especially financing at reasonable rates which will greatly impact small producers as well as the issue of protection from piracy."

Soha along with Shaan and Sabeer 'Hotmail' Bhatia is part of the panel that will espouse their Budget Fundas on MTV at 7.30 pm today.

At the show's shoot, it is learnt that Bhatia was impressed by Soha and even asked for her phone number. Haven't we heard of Bhatia and his alliance with a certain Ms Aishwarya Rai before?

Holiday with Gauri

Maheep Kapoor, Seema Khan, Gauri Khan and Bhavana Pandey

Gauri Khan and the kids are taking off to Dubai sometime later this month.

It's strictly vacation time. But they aren't not going alone.

Seema Khan, Bhavana Pandey and Maheep Kapoor are expected to be part of the entourage.

Even the star wives need to let down their hair and take a break every once in a way.

What say?

Jodees rock the night away

Dheeraj Kumar, Rakshanda Khan and Zuby Kocchar

Saturday night, producer Dheeraj Kumar and his wife Zuby Kocchar held a bash at Le Meredien, Sahar, to launch the celeb game show Jodee Kamal Ki, which replaces Kaun Banega Crorepati on Star Plus.

Though the show's anchor Rakshanda Khan turned up fashionably late post midnight (she was compering elsewhere!), guests at the event included Mona 'Jassi' Singh, Ronit Roy, Nikki Aneja Walia, Anang Desai, Kiran Karmarkar, Bappi Lahiri, Baba Sehgal and Raju Srivastav (who kept up his wisecracks) among several others.

Rajoo Kariya turned producer with his maiden venture, Madhubala, starring Gurpreet Gill (Sujal of Kahiin Toh Hoga) and Kanishka. It's reported that the film is based on the real-life dramatics of Pretti Jaiin and director Madhur Bhandarkar and will be releasing March-end.

Anil Kapoor's face on the wall

Anil Kapoor

If not the Hall of Fame our apun ka Anil Kapoor has made it to the Wall of Fame — a nook at Fame Adlabs, Kandivli that has taken the shape of a so-called gallery.

It features special memorabilia, trophies, costumes, film posters and a varied collection of photographs that charters the course of the actor from his childhood days.

This is supposedly the second edition of the Hall of Fame instituted by the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) after they had constructed a similar gallery and dedicated it to Amitabh Bachchan.

Clad in a jazzy shirt that bore a close resemblance to folded quilts the actor tried his best a looking young. Now that's Kapoor for you, "Age chupane ke liya kuch bhi karega."

Raza's Bollywood

Q. What would you call Rani Mukerji if she became a pilot?
A. 'Flying' Rani.
