Nisha Kothari

Nisha Kothari has clinched one more deal with RGV’s Factory. The power of just one song ? Zindagi jeene ka naam ? in James and the much publicised and sensuous ‘beach crawl’. Ramu has a penchant for beach babes, we’ve seen Urmila and Antara getting all wet-wet, but now it’s Nisha who’s caught Ramu’s watery eyes. So much so that she got herself a walk-in role in Sarkar as well. “I guess he liked my song,” cooed Nisha, modestly, like all the credit was the song’s, not hers. This semi-clad fairy from the Chadhti jawaani music video (there were three, remember?) got Ramu hooked by that song and got into Sarkar, and straight on to the female lead in James! She has now signed her third with RGV, a project called Go. Though RGV’s last muse, Antara, who has been promoted to scriptwriter-director in The Factory, mouths things like,“I am irreplaceable to RGV” and “I don’t care if RGV has one muse or 100 new muses everyday.” She should know.

Manisha Koirala

Where is Manisha Koirala, one might wonder? With Cecil Anthony out of her life, after a four-year relationship, Manya is into some serious man-hunting. Coz Manya doesn’t want to be known as “a floozy who goes around with lots of men”. Says the Princess: “If I am going around with someone this time I want to be sure that I will be marrying him.” And we hear she has already zeroed in on the 31-year-old hotelier, Prashant Chaudhary, of Mangi Ferra in Juhu. She admits, “He’s a darling, but it will take a while before we date each other.” But aren’t they dating already, or are we just seeing khajoors? They have come very close in the past few weeks and are seen together often. And you know, Manya brings food from home and they eat together. Most Sundays they spend together nibbling a pizza or sipping their fave cocktail. Prashant has issued strict instructions that he is not to be disturbed when Manya’s around. They are regularly spotted lost in each other, holding hands... But, no, they aren’t seeing each other, this is just a khajoor.
