Ash's surprise visit makes Abhishek nervous

Aishwarya Rai
According to sources Aishwarya visited the sets of Dilli 6 where Abhishekh was shooting a stunt scene. It was visible that it wasnt a pleasant surprise for Abhi. It seems that inspite of being marrried for over a year and a half there is still some tension between the couple.

The scene that was being shot was a stunt scene though not a major stunt scene but still it was a crucial one.

Everyone assumed that after shooting constantly for so many stunt scenes for Drona Abhishek must have got comfortable with them but the moment Ash entered the sets Abhishekh was seen to be disturbed.

In Dilli 6, Abhishek is opposite Sonam Kapoor and Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni, Divya Dutta, Rishi Kapoor and Tanvi Azmi are the other co stars.

The movie has been making since December last year and is thought to be based on the life of the director Rakesh Omprakash Mehra and how he spend his years growing up in the old Delhi neighbourhood of Chandini Chowk. The name of the film is actually the pin code of the place and its due for release on February 13, 2009.

Kareena Kapoor collapses at home

Kareena Kapoor
The world knows that Saif Ali Khan is madly in love and very serious about his current girlfriend of a year, Kareena Kapoor.

He's reportedly said, "Yes, Kareena has been invited to Pataudi. It'd have been earlier, but it was too hot. Winter is when our family reunions happen every year and Kareena is now part of the family. My parents are extremely fond of Kareena."

He adds, "This relationship is 'IT' for me. Today I feel very settled and very happy, though a bit lonely. And when I've bad days, I feel I'm being ungrateful. I'm now looking forward to settling down with Kareena.

Our marriage will happen very shortly as soon as we both have a little less work on hand and we can give the marriage quality time. Also, her family has to be ready for our marriage."

"We're very close. She has been really gracious in inviting me into her family. She's made sure I'm part of her family. I've also met Daboo uncle (Randhir) a few times, shared friendly drinks with him.

As for Karisma, I think she's the sweetest girl ever in the world. I'm deeply fond of both Karisma and her husband Sanjay (Kapoor). They're truly wonderful people. Kareena's family has taken to me as warmly as my family has taken to her."

He thinks that his lifestyle has changed completely after his heart attack. He adds that if it wasn't for that life- changing experience, I wouldn't be in a relationship with Kareena right now. He now hardly drinks or smokes or parties.

But the buzz is that the love of his life is not keeping too well and her hectic schedule has taken a toll on her health. She has fever and has a throat infection too.

Confirms a source, "All this started after Kareena attended an event at Parel on Sunday evening. Her condition is so bad that she collapsed after coming home. She was in such terrible shape that her mom had to call in the doctor. He's giving her injections so that she can at least stand on her feet."

Kareena thinks that her collapse has been caused by overwork and exhaustion as she has been working non-stop for the last 6 months round the clock.

Without a Godfather, it's not a bad start: Mughda

Mugdha Godse
While Priyanka Chopra and Kangna Ranaut were always expected to walk away with all the accolades in Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion, it was a wait and watch situation for newcomer Mugdha Godse.

Now as Fashion has released and doing quite well for itself at the box office, fresh talent Mugdha is finding appreciation coming her way.

In fact quite a few believe that Mugdha is pretty much the find of the year so far, a compliment that she truly cherishes.

"Who would mind hearing good things about herself? It is flattering to get so many compliments even when you know that it's someone else (Priyanka) in the movie and not you on whom the spotlight is all the time", says an ever smiling Mugdha who has gone all out in promoting the film.

After giving such a good account of herself in a performance oriented role and a great body to boast, it would be criminal to have her play a second or a third lead in her subsequent films. Yes, Fashion was a good platform but doesn't she feel that from here on, she deserves to be seen only in lead roles?

Mugdha says in a soft tone while continuing to smile, "But then without a Godfather, it's not a bad start after all, isn't it? Yahan par aap akele struggle karke is level tak pahaunchte ho!

Of course, I have been a model or a supermodel, howsoever you may call me, in real life, but finding good work on your own terms in movies is a different ballgame altogether."

She goes on to add, "You have to start afresh, go through the grind, struggle for the best opportunity to come your way. This way I guess Madhurji has got a very good role rolling for me in Fashion. I am glad his conviction in me and the character paid."

How is she busy taking all the compliments?

She laughs, "From those who are in the know-how in the industry and understand how it operates, I ask them a plain and simple question - 'Do you think this would lead to me getting more and better work?'

Ultimately this is where it boils down to. You may hear good things about you but the bottom line is to know how far it takes you in your career. I am ambitious enough and Fashion has turned out to be the first stepping stone in the right direction."

Priyanka is now a sexy girl next door

Priyanka Chopra
Tarun Mansukhani is mighty pleased with the kind of response he is getting for the bodies that John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra have acquired for DOSTANA. Accolodes have been coming in from all quarters as both John and Priyanka ignite the heat in their pursuit for acquiring best bodies in the town.

"While John has worked hard on his physique and made sure that heads (belonging to both women and men) turn around him wherever he goes, I am not surprised since he seems to have been born with a six pack abs.

What amazes me though is the strange body that Priyanka Chopra has", says Tarun Mansukhani, debutant director who is beginning his innings with this Karan Johar production.

How exactly?

"Well, she eats so much and doesn't even work out much. Still, she manages to hold her figure. I guess it's her metabolism that allows her to be this way. With DOSTANA, she could well be termed as a sexy girl next door", smiles Tarun.

Abhishek seems to be just the same though as in all his films, isn't it?

"In fact Abhi too has gone through some transformation as he was still working on DRONA when DOSTANA began. He was in fact the fittest since even when John would be tired, he would push him to get back on his feet and face the camera", reveals Tarun.

But he doesn't seem to be flaunting his body the way John is in the film. Why is that case?

Defends Tarun, "See the film and you would know for yourself. The kind of body type that he is carrying is something like is required for the character. It is truly in conjunction with the film. In any case, Abhi is a completely changed person for DOSTANA and is looking really fantastic." - Joginder Tuteja

Sonam Kapoor given the royal ignore

Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor might be considered chic and beautiful in B-Town but she's miles away from acquiring international fame. In fact even her father Anil Kapoor has a long way to go!

The buzz is that she was totally ignored along with daddy dearest at the London Film Festival recently. Anil Kapoor was invited to promote the film 'Slumdog Millionaire' in which he has made a guest appearance as a TV show host.

According to a source, "Anil was supposed to come with his wife but instead took his daughter Sonam. The reason behind this could have been to promote her to the outside world, outside of Bollywood."

Unfortunately both father and daughter were sidelined by the media. No one approached them for interview or photographs.

Adds the source, "None of the British press was interested in taking photos of Sonam or her father. To them they were unknowns and not news-worthy."

Obviously both father and the daughter were disappointed and felt left out in the event.

Sonam baby, getting international fame is no cake walk. You need to be lucky enough for that!

Kareena to be Amrita's bridesmaid at wedding?

Kareena Kapoor
The buzz is that the 'Khan'daan hanger-on Amrita Arora is fed up being in the forever struggling mode (only doing movies with family and friends like Kareena) and is set to get married soon.

Close friends of the actress has claimed that this time it's for real and unlike the short term serial dating she did with the likes of Kamaal Khan, Ashmit Patel, Upen Patel and Usman Afzal.

The object of Amu's affection is Hyderabadi businessman Shakeel Ladak this time round.

The big fat wedding is supposed to take place in March 2009 but she's not willing to confirm or deny the news. She maintains that she'll divulge things when everything is fine. Maybe she's getting superstitious and too possessive about the whole thing.

The word is that banquet halls are being hunted for. There is supposed to be a grand reception in Mumbai, while the marriage itself will be a beautiful church wedding in Goa – something that Amrita has always wanted.

There is a strong chance that best friend Kareena is set to turn bridesmaid at the Goan do.

This one is sure to be a true blue filmi shaadi!
