Celina Jaitley is lucky not only in having a pretty face and an enviable figure but also when it comes to having a hair-breath escape from death. It so happened that while shooting for her South film ‘Sreemati’ opposite superstar Upendra, she faced an accident which could turn out to be fatal had it not been for her luck.
While shooting, the camera buggy was supposed to go past her while she was standing near an outcrop, but unfortunately it swung out of control, toppling Celina who just managed to grab a buggy rung. She lost her grip on that too but the camera assistant Ram Gopal Mishra grabbed her and that saved her.
Celina shudders at the memories and says, “I escaped severe injuries by falling into shallow rocky seas from a great height.
The incident makes the sex kitten a bit philosophical as she says that those who have the blessings and goodwill of others have nothing to worry about.

Ranbir gives Katrina a nickname

While shooting for Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’, Ranbir Kapoor gave Katrina Kaif a nickname. In a sequence, the duo was asked to climb a 200 ft high ladder and to everybody’s surprise, Kat climbed it with ease. Usually girls fear to climb such a height but Katrina climbed it so comfortably that she left Ranbir behind.The unit surprised to see Katrina’s daring act and at the very moment, Ranbir gave her a nickname Rambo’s sister ‘Sambo’.'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahini' is a humorous love story. Ranbir plays the character of Prem, a depressed lover and Katrina Kaif plays Jennifer (Jenny).

Though not on the scene for quite a long time, this green eyed actress demands quite a high price. The Bachchan bahurani did burn her hands in Hollywood, with films like Mistress of Spice to her credit, but she has hiked her fees to about 6 crores. If she manages to do a Jodhaa Akbar, then it should be fine. Otherwise 6 crores for an Umraao Jaan or The Last Legion does seem a bit extravagant.

Beauty!!!!!!!

This dusky beauty has certainly cemented her position as an A-list actress. With several hits to her name in different genres, she is quite a popular choice for producers. Bipasha charges about 2 crores.

John Abraham says he is married

Bollywood hunk John Abraham, who is famous for his passion for biking, has no desire to settle down soon as the actor believes that he is already married to his bikes.
John Abraham says that he will think about marrying a girl only after he adds four more bikes to his collection.
“I love motorcycles, I am married to them and I have had a honeymoon period with them. I don’t let anyone sit on mybikes or touch them,” the actor said.
It is said that the 36-year-old actor is so protective of his bikes that even his girlfriend of seven years actress Bipasha Basu doesn’t like to sit on them.“Bipasha doesn’t like sitting behind me on bikes as I keep complaining about the bike getting scratched or damaged,” said the actor, who has been chosen the brand ambassador for Yamaha Motor in India.
The actor, who made a whole new statement in Bollywood with his biking acts in action-oriented movie like Dhoom, was in the capital to launch new bike models from Yamaha.
Abraham also recalled his first encounter with a bike.
“I first saw my brother’s bike when I was a 11-year-old kid. I fell in love with it right then, but my brother neverlet me touch his bike,” said the actor.

Khatron Ke Khiladi Akshay Kumar turns 42.

Khiladi Kumar a.k.a. Akshay Kumar has turned 42 today. Today he is uncrowned King of Bollywood. But Akshay says Big B is the only King of Bollywood.
Akshay, who started his career with an action movie, played almost every type of roles. Starting his career in nineties, Akshay is celebrating his 42nd birthday today.
He made his Bollywood debut with “Saugandh” in 1991. But ‘Khiladi’ established him in industry as a star. After success of the movie, he became ‘Khiladi’ No. 1 of the industry.
With a series of Khiladi movies, he became action King. Moreover, he tied nuptial knot with Twinkle Khanna.
To break image of action hero, in 1997, with Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi, Dil To Pagal Hai and Aflatoon, he attempted new genres. Thereafter, Akshay became quintessential comedy King. His performance was praised by critics and audience alike.
Dhadkan (2000), Hera Pheri (2000), Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004), Garam Masala (2005), Phir Hera Pheri (2006) and Jaan-E-Mann (2006) were also praised by critics and audience.

I’m dying to work with Aamir says Vidya

The graceful Bollywood Actress Vidya Balan who turned a year older on January 1, has turned a new leaf.
After her abortive attempts to revamp her wardrobe in Heyy Baby and Kismat Connection Vidya has decided to go easy on the glam ramp.
“It’s not as though I’m disowning my efforts to do glamorous roles. I’m proud of Heyy Baby and Kismat Connection. But this year I’m doing films that don’t need me to stretch my personality. I’m very happy doing roles that come naturally to me. That’s what I decided about my career this year.”
Vidya has just given the nod to Nikhil (Chandni Chowk To China) Advani’s next film which would surprise many.
Advani’s Chand Bhai is a raw realistic songless film on juvenile delinquency.
Says Vidya, “It’s nothing like the high-flying glam-wham stuff that one expects from Nikhil after Chandni Chowk. Chand Bhai is a stark very real kind of drama. And I get to co-star with a very talented actor Akshaye Khanna with whom I was in Nikhil’s Salaam-e-Ishq though we had just one passing shot together.”
Vidya gladly admits Chand Bhai doesn’t feature her in the central role.
“The film revolves around the delinquent boy’s character. But I’m very happy to be part of a film that addresses itself an important social issue. This year I think I’m done with searching for various bylanes to my screen identity.
All my forthcoming films have a sharp sense of social purpose, and that definitely includes Vibhu Puri’s Chenab Gandhi which I’m enormously excited about because it’s produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.”
Vidya has been attending costume and reading sessions for Chenab Gandhi and is spellbound by the script. “But I haven’t really interacted that much with my co-star Hurman as yet. With Mr Bachchan who plays the title role, I share a lifelong bonding.
Right from Eklavya we’ve been paired in so many films right up to Chenab Gandhi and now Balki’s Pa. If I did all the films last year that I was offered with Mr Bachchan I wouldn’t be working with anyone else, ” says Vidya, adding she’s excited to work with Abhishek Bachchan for the first time in Pa.
“We’ve never been paired together.It would be interesting to have another interesting co-star to work with, ” says Vidya who went to Panchgani for her birthday this year, with her parents, sister and brother-in-law.
“It’s very rare for all five of us in the family to be together. My birthday falls on a very unforgettable day, the New Year. It’s preceded by Christmas, so we all take time off to be together.
Another advantage of being born on the first day of the year is, no one can claim to forget your birthday, ” she says with loud laughter.
Vidya recently saw Ghajini and was bowled over by Aamir Khan. “I’m dying to work with Aamir. And Shah Rukh of course is my favourite. I said on Sajid Khan’s chat show I want to kill Shah Rukh’s wife. No one took me seriously. There was no enhancement in the security around her. Sad.”

Vidya Balan overcomes her fear of driving

Bollywood Actress Vidya Balan had a phobia of driving until director Vishal Bharadwaj insisted her to learn to drive.
Vidya’s last release Kismat Konnection had her ramming her car into Shahid Kapur ’s in her introductory scene. That might well have been the case with Vidya in real life as well had she sat behind the steering wheel without overcoming her longlasting fear of driving on busy roads.
Vidya took driving lessons from an instructor in Chembur. She reportedly learnt to drive her own two cars — Innova and Mercedes.
It took a good number of days for Vidya to learn the skill but today she is happy to have overcome her fears.

Vidya Balan smooches Arshan Warsi

Bollywood Actress Vidya Balan is back in a de-glam role with Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Ishqiya’. Goingby the trailers, she is playing a simple village belle but has tried some ‘bold’ scenes too. She is featured to be doing steamy scenes with Arshad Warsi and also rumoured to play darker shades. Her ‘desi-giri’ includes swearing in pure Hindi, conning Arshad and Naseeruddin Shah by batting those pretty eye lashes like a true ‘gaon ki gori’ and then even not minding rendering a hot smooch onscreen!
Vidya’s kissing spree continues after the Bollywood Movie ‘Guru’. She had no qualms locking lips with R Madhavan in the film. Recently, she did a very long and intimate scene with Arshad Warsi and kissed him very comfortably in ‘Ishqiya’. The scene in question has a hot kiss, and is very essential to set the tempo. “Why wouldn’t I do that scene when the bound script which was given to me before the film went on the floors? I had no issues doing the kissing scene,” Vidya Balan said.
Though there are stories that Arshad doesn’t get along with costars, it’s certainly not true when it comes to his ‘Ishqiya’ costar Vidya Balan. Arshad Warsi tells us that he fondly calls Vidya Balan Giggles. “There’s a story behind this name. Vidya laughs a lot and can’t control herself. She just goes on laughing like crazy. She doesn’t even need someone to crack a joke. Sometimes she used to start laughing in the middle of the shot and then Naseeruddin Shah and I used to wait till she finished her riot,” revealed Arshad Warsi in an exclusive Bollywood Interview.
