Hot n Sexy Shradha Sharma threatened by irate driver

The hot, sexy and eye-popping glamour girl Shradha was threatened and verbally and physically assaulted by an irate and drunk lady driver late on Monday night.

The minor accident occurred near the Lokhandwala-Adarsh Nagar petrol pump, in suburban Mumbai Shradha who was driving her car on her way home accidentally bumped into a car ahead of her while trying to avoid a cyclist who cut across the road out of the blue.

Shradha was returning after her dance rehearsals and was understandably fatigued.

In order to save the cyclist from being knocked down Shradha had to swerve and ended up slightly denting the bumper of the car ahead of her.

In spite of apologizing to the other driver the woman began abusing and threatening her. She created a ruckus on the road screaming and yelling at the top of her voice so that a crowd gathered.

The damage to her car was very minor and negligible yet she behaved as though her car was smashed. It was only a small dent and that too in the course of saving the cyclist.

According to her Media Manager and Publicist, Flynn Remedios the situation could have got out of hand as the woman was drunk and tried to pull Shradha out of her car. Fortunately for Shradha some friends who were around intervened and sorted out the matter before the situation could go out of hand.

"Since the matter was sorted out, we decided not to go to the police, " said Flynn Remedios, who had in the meanwhile already contacted the Oshiwara Police Station.

Shradha was in her usual hot outfits and this further aroused the curiosity of the crowd, which was getting impatient to see who the sexy damsel in distress was.

Rahul, Monica playing dirty on Bigg Boss: Diana Hayden

Former beauty queen Diana Hayden, who was voted out of TV reality show "Bigg Boss" Friday, has blamed co-participants Rahul Mahajan and Monica Bedi for making the game "very dirty".

"The dirtiest game is being played by Rahul and Monica. They have no values or scruples, " Diana, who managed to stay in the "Bigg Boss" house for eight weeks, told over phone from Mumbai.

"I had the most amazing six weeks on the show, but the last two weeks got very dirty. Rahul never liked me because he knew that I could see what he was doing. They (Monica and Rahul) believed in doing everything for the camera. Fine you want to win, but its wrong to encourage fights, lie, and forget your values to win a game, " she added.

Diana, who was a late entrant in the show, entered the "Bigg Boss" house mid-September. Diana, who won the Miss World crown in 1997, said her stay in the house was a welcome break for her.

"I agreed to the show because I wanted to be a part of a competition. Also, I travel a lot, so I thought it'll be a welcome break for me. Just relaxing and eating good Indian food, " she said.

Although Diana was cordial with all other inmates of the show, her proximity with reality show MTV "Roadies 5.0" winner Ashutosh Kaushik, raised a few eyebrows in the public as well as within the "Bigg Boss" house.

"I gelled well with Ashutosh because he is a very simple and honest person. We are just very good friends. He is a charming person, very sweet and childish. He is funny and silly and that's why he used to do all those antics, by which people thought that he has feelings for me, " she said.

Rubbishing rumours of a romantic liaison with Ashutosh, Diana said: "I'm not in a relationship and don't want to be in one at the moment. I'm sure its only friendship even from his side."

Apart from Ashutosh, Diana was good friends with singer Debojit Saha, item girl Sambhavana Seth and non-celebrity participant Alina Wadiwala.

"I was very protective and defensive about Debojit, since he is a very simple person, " she said.

The model-turned-actress, who shifted base to Los Angeles a few years ago, is hopeful that Ashutosh wins the game.

"I really want Ashutosh to win because I feel that he deserves to be the winner. The audience should vote for persons who genuinely need the money and the opportunity, " averred Diana.

She has also advised the audience "to use their conscience" to vote.

"I agree that it's an entertainment show but still they should not vote for people who just lie and play dirty games, " she said.

Getting slapped was humiliating: Preity Zinta

She's already bagged an award for her power-packed performance as a battered wife in "Heaven On Earth", but Bollywood star Preity Zinta says she was humiliated when co-star Vansh Bhardwaj, who plays her abusive husband, slapped her while shooting a scene.

"When we were shooting the film, there was a scene where my co-star had to slap me and, of course, it was a mistake as he took one step forward and actually went smack across my face.

It was the most humiliating experience of my life because everyone saw me getting slapped, " Preity told in an interview.

Preity got the Silver Hugo Award for best actress in the Feature Film Competition section at the 44th Chicago International Film Festival Oct 29.

The mishap on the sets of director Deepa Mehta's film brought Preity closer to reality and made her understand the character better.

"It changed my whole perception towards my role and I realised that it's so terrible to strip a woman of her spirit. It's better to die than to let your spirit die. This film took me to another zone; it just shattered me because I am someone who would immediately stand up for myself, " she said.

Known for her chirpy, bubbly and garrulous image in Bollywood, Preity would be seen at the receiving end in Mehta's film, which she says "completely broke" her heart.

She explained: "It was the most difficult film of my career.

It's also a film that completely broke my heart. I remember asking a woman, who was a victim of domestic violence and had left her husband, what the turning point in her relationship was and she said, 'I told my husband if you want to beat me, beat me in a room. But don't beat me in front of the family.'

"I could never understand that. Beating someone is bad and it doesn't matter if it's alone or in front of others. It's terrible. I really didn't know what it was to be in a situation like this till I did the film."

Preity has of late been accepting non-commercial projects, including the recently released "The Last Lear" and Jahnu Barua's "Har Pal".

Why the sudden interest in off-beat films?

"I did 'Heaven on Earth' because I thought if a commercial actor like me ventured into something like this, it would provide a broader platform. It was something that really inspired me and I was very excited about. I always played stronger roles so this was a change for me.

"I'm happy that the film will get more eyeballs thanks to the recognition it has got. To me, I'll be ultimately happy if every family will see the film, especially the men, " said Preity.

The actress said that while the movie did not have "the trappings of music and song and dance", it was still very close to her heart "because it tackles immigration; it tackles domestic violence - topics that we like to brush under the carpet".

The year so far has brought her much critical acclaim as her performances in both "The Last Lear" and "Heroes" were widely appreciated.

The actress added that she would return to her trademark girl-next-door image only if she was offered a role with "substance".

"I will do masala movies for sure, but I would like to have substance in them. I can't do just the glam chick any longer. I've been there, done that. It just doesn't inspire me any more. I have to leave that for the other girls to do. That's the way one grows, " she said.

Preity's "Heaven on Earth" will have its worldwide commercial release in November end and she will also be seen in "Har Pal" and "Main Aur Mrs. Khanna".
