She lost her burqa! Who? Mallika Sherawat, that’s who! Heard she was panic-stricken when she realised she had left her burqa in the plane when she travelled to Leh for the Jai Jawan shoot. The oomph queen, tired of all the ogling and of her two bodyguards as well, has been actually hiding behind burqas. But she’s bindaas about her sneakers doing a sneak peek from below the burqa, making people stare all the more!

Celina Jaitly

Snub-nose gets snubbed

Has Celina become so great a star that she’s walking with her (stub) nose held high up in the air? No wonder she slipped and fell on the newly waxed floor of her flat and got a broken ligament. But then how do you explain her behaviour at the Santa Cruz airport where she drove in (again with snub-nose held up high) and parked her car where the government delegates and officials like the PM, the Chief Minister and their convoys park? When she was asked to move she created a scene and allegedly abused the airport manager Jayshree Shivalingam. Thus a non-cognisable offence was filed against her (and her brother who was accompanying her) by the airport official accusing her of indecent behaviour. The other side of the story says that after receiving plenty of flak for her ‘indecent behaviour’ Celina has decided to counter-attack. She not only has a lot to say in her defence, but has also announced she’ll file a defamation suit against Jayshree Shivalingam. Lo kar lo baat!

Aishwarya with Viveik and (below) with Abhishek

Will she, won’t she?

We have all heard Will Smith raving about Ash. Recently he made the expected proposition. He wants Ash to star in his next film after all, and start shooting from July! But Ash is committed to Ashutosh Gowariker’s Akbar-Jodha during that time. But giving Will a miss would be like cocking a snook at Hollywood. So Ash is planning to request Gowariker to free her during that time. But rescheduling Hrithik for Will, would that be asking for too much?

Abhi to aur hai...

Duped and dumped. Bechaara Viveik is having it real tough. Ash’s friendship cost him heavily. He’s losing work as every producer is keen on having the megastar’s son Abhishek and the Ice Maiden Ash together as they are the flavour of the season. Even Mani Ratnam who had signed Viveik for his next film, Guru, went ahead and signed Abhishek and Ash while Viveik was eased out of the project. Though it’s being said that Viveik himself opted out because he would feel uneasy in the lead company. Even if he has just one film in hand...

SPOTLIGHT

Surya and Jyothika

Not without my beau

The romantic pairing of Jyothika and Surya is considered the box-office yardstick in Tamil films now. They have mindblowing chemistry between them and they simply burn up the screen together. But for Jyothika’s sake, it’s important for her to vibe well with her other heroes too. Jyothika squirms doing romantic scenes with others as in her latest film, Sarvana, paired opposite Chimpu. She was visibly uncomfortable doing lovey-dovey numbers with him. As she is not too inclined to sign films with other heroes, all eyes are fixed on the love pair’s new film together, Jilendru Oru Kadhal. Jyothika and Surya are to tie the knot very soon too. But what about the knots in her career?
