Deepika Padukone And John Abraham Bonding

Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, who are working together for the first time in an upcoming film `Desiboyz`, seem to be bonding big time.

Maybe the reason behind their bonding is the common heartbreak-issue, which DP went through last year and John seems to be sailing through currently.

DP and John are currently shooting in London for their film and they seem to be spending a lot of time in getting to know each other.

Given that it’s the first time the two have come together professionally or for that matter interacted, the whole unit was surprised to see their bonding.

Two of them have been cracking jokes, sharing laughter, going for coffees and hanging out together. Apparently John even discussed his break off with Bipasha to Deepika. And the gorgeous dusky beauty DP completely empathized with him and gave him her genuine advice.

A source revealed to a daily, “John and Deepika have become really good friends. They are close to the extent that he even talked about his break up and the low phase in his life with her. Even though the London schedule is over, they are still in touch and are looking forward to working together again. Deepika not only lent him an ear, but also understood his situation and his need to keep it private.”

DP gave tips to John on how to deal with a break up and get a closure. “She has emerged as a stronger person after her split with Ranbir and she could feel his pain. They both bonded on topics of relationship and heart break.”

Anushka Sharma Skeptical Wearing Bikini

Anushka Sharma, who made a big splash in Bollywood with her grand debut with Shah Rukh Khan, is showered with exciting offers. The Bangalore girl looked a girl next door in her first film but surprised the audiences with her bold avatar in `Badmash Company` opposite Shahid Kapoor.

The actress, who for a short while was criticised for her anorexic look has now worked hard on her body and looks fuller. However, she is not too sure if wearing a bikini is a good idea for her or not.

Anushka is not too convinced if it is a great idea to flaunt her body in a bikini. She had a meeting with the creative head of the production house to ask for his second opinion on this matter.

A source revealed to a daily, “Anushka is in two minds over the bikini for the film. Even though she`s in the right shape, the actress feels she might over-expose and get flak for it. In the past there have been offers where she had to wear a two-piece but she rejected them saying she needed to work out and that she wasn`t in the best of her shape. This time, however, she doesn`t have an excuse since she`s looking fitter than ever.”

Stop contemplating girl! You do have a great body and we are sure you can pull it off in a bikini perfectly!

Asked for his reaction to Shah Rukh Khan's performance at IIFA during which he poked fun at Dabangg, Salman ducked the question saying, "Kareena is very close to Shah Rukh Khan; she will answer that."

Katrina Kaif took Hrithik Roshan for a spin around Filmcity in Mumbai on a glistening Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle to plug their film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) on Friday evening, July 22.

The 27-year-old actress looked biker chic in a Grey body hugging tee atop a green tank, black skinny jeans and black ankle boots.

Her hair, styled sleek straight with a middle parting, was secured under a hairband. She wore no jewelry, no makeup.

Hrithik, 37, appeared relaxed, which he shouldn't have since he was sans a helmet, as he sat back and let Katrina take charge of the venerable 150cc bike.

Hrithik, brand ambassador of Hero Honda Bikes, happily sat as pillion rider, probably deferring to a clause in his Hero Honda endorsement deal that forbids him from riding another bike brand.

Katrina looked a little pensive before the ride but once behind the wheel, she looked an easy rider.

Katrina, who learn't to ride a bike for her role in ZNMD, arrived at the venue a little ahead of time for a quick solo bike rehearsal and a pillion ride rehearsal with her hair stylist Hakim Alim.

She rehearsed without a helmet but for the final media event she put one on.

Kareena Kapoor Open to 'Heroine' Return

Kareena Kapoor says Madhur Bhandrakar's film Heroine was scripted with her in mind as protagonist and she is open to a return to the project provided Madhur is ready to wait for her dates.

"The whole world knows that Heroine is my movie, that it was written for me and Madhur was in talks with me," the talented actress, not well known for her modesty, tells TOI.

"I couldn't do it because of date problems so he moved on. What happened in between is not my concern," she says.

What happened in between was Bhandrakar signed on Aishwarya Rai and the film started production on June 7. and a week later Aishwarya announced that she was nearly five months pregnant, forcing Bhandarkar to cancel further shooting of the film.

Kareena confirmed reports that Bhandarkar met her recently in Hyderabad, while she was there to meet with boyfriend Saif Ali Khan, and narrated the script for 'Heroine,' which was modified for Aishwarya as the protagonist.

Having been dropped by Bhandarkar from the project earlier, Kareena is not making it easy for him to take her back.

"I don't have any dates till January next year so I'm not going to sign on any movie till October. I'm really keen to work with Madhur but you'll have to wait for an official announcement," Kareena says, playing hardball.

Sonakshi Sinha: Breathtakingly Beautiful in Black at Spa Launch

Sonakshi Sinha looked drop dead gorgeous in an all black ensemble - floral shirt topped off with a cropped single button Esprit jacket and skinny fcuk jeans - at the opening of a Spa and Salon in Mumbai on Saturday, July 23.

The 24-year-old looked radiant, with flawless skin; the perfect candidate for the launch of Rasi - The Zodiac Spa & Salon.

She wore a sweetheart neckline top accented with a bow on the neck, topped with a cropped single button jacket and super skinny jeans featuring zipper detail and flap pockets in the front.

She accessorized with nude cross strap wedges and stud earrings.

Her hair was side swept and styled in long waves. Eyes made up in almond shape, Orange lipgloss and Orange nails added a playful look to her business casual attire.

Other celebrities attending the event included Isha Koppikar and Neetu Chandra. The latter in her signature style tormented in a black sari and a barely there blouse that we are sure her grandmother would think is her bra.

Sonakshi is upbeat about having scored another film, adding to the growing list of her upcoming projects. Last week she signed on for Ashwini Dheer's SOS-Son of Sardar with co-star Ajay Devgn, who is also co-producing the film with NR Pasichia.

"added to the list - Son of Sardar. cant wait :)" Sonakshi tweeted on July 22.

Salman Khan Tops Deepika Padukone's List of Co-stars

Salman Khan tops Deepika Padukone's list of desirable co-stars, even as Sonakshi and Asin appear to hog all the roles with the 'Dabangg' star who is riding a wave of box office success.

Deepika hasn't managed to get a role with Salman, but it wasn't because she or Salman were averse to pairing up with each other.

"I have been offered a lot of films with Salman, unfortunately it has not worked out for many reasons," Deepika tells Hyderabad Times in an interview.

"He is definitely on top of my list of actors I'd die to work with. When the time is right, I will do a film with him. I know he wants to work with me, he knows I want to work with him and people know we want to work with each other, so when times comes, we'll get together on screen," Deepika adds.

Deepika is known to say it the way she sees it. Quizzed about her spontaneous dig at former boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor in response to a rapid fire question on "Koffee With Karan" that didn't go down well with the Kapoors, Deepika said:

"It didn't bother me one bit. It was my show, the questions were asked to me and I answered them the way I wanted to. I'm not answerable to anyone."

She does draw a line though. Responding to a remark that she hardly speaks about her relationship with current beau Siddhartha, Deepika said:

"No. Relationships or not, I believe that people don't need to know about my life beyond a certain point. I understand there is a curiosity about me and Siddhartha, but there's only that much I'll say about my personal life. You can speculate or gossip, it doesn't bother me."

Deepika will be next seen in Prakash Jha directed Aarakshan with co-stars Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Manoj Bajpai, Prateik Babbar, Saif Ali Khan and Tanvi Azmi.

Her other upcoming films include Desi Boyz with Akshay Kumar, Rana with Rajnikant and Race 2 with an ensemble cast.

Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha Paired in Upcoming Romantic Comedy

Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha will reportedly be paired in an upcoming romance titled SOS – Son of Sardar to be directed by Ashwini Dheer.

Ajay Devgn and NR Pachisia will co-produce the film, a remake of a Telugu musical comedy Maryada Ramanna.

"It is a fresh pairing. Both Ajay and Sonakshi are intense actors and they will surely create magic on screen. Considering it is an action packed love story, we decided to cast a fresh face opposite Ajay. We try to do different things with our projects every time in terms of casting. I am now looking forward to start the film early next year."

Maryada Ramanna (2010) was inspired by Buster Keaton's slapstick and situational comedy film Our Hospitality (1923).

SOS – Son of Sardar (Surprise, surprise!) is set in Punjab.

Sonakshi, 24, who has just one film to her credit so far, is fast becoming one of Bollywood's busiest actress with five projects in hand: Shirish Kunder's Joker with co-star Akshay Kumar, Abbas Mustan's Race 2, Shirish Kunder's Kick with co-star Salman Khan, Prabhu Deva's Rowdy Rathore with co-star Akshay Kumar and Dabangg 2 with Salman Khan.

Kareena was dressed to character, as she plays a college student, the daughter of a business tycoon from Patiala, Punjab.

Her white floral knee length top had three quarter length sleeves, scoop neckline, and was accented with glittering lace on neck, sleeves and hem.

Hair styled in a sleek ponytail with swept back top, coral lipstick, golden eyeshadow, clumped eyelash extensions, generous application of blush; and Cranberry nail color rounded her uber glam look.

Anushka may not want to discuss her personal life - read Ranveer Singh – in public, but she gushes about her upcoming Yash Chopra film with Shah Rukh Khan, with whom she co-starred earlier in her debut film Rabe Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008).

"I never thought I would get the chance to do a film with him again. It's nothing less than a dream-come-true. He was my first hero and SRK will always be my favorite," she tells HT.

She ain't just beautiful and stylish, Anushka is also smart and in Bollywood for a long stay!

Madhuri Dixit looked resplendent in a black and gold floral anarkali suit at the launch of Gemfields' 'Emeralds for Elephants' jewelery at Hotel Taj Palace in South Mumbai on Wednesday, 20 July, 2011.

She accessorized with glittery heels and exquisite diamond and emerald jewelry.

Her reddish brown side parted hair was styled in bottom curls. Sparkling golden eyeshadow and shimmering bronze lipstick rounded her dazzling looks.

The 44-year-old Bollyood star is brand ambassador for Gemfields International, Zambia's leading emerald mining company.

Gemfields have introduced 'Emeralds for Elephants' in India as part of an awareness campaign to raise funds to protect the elephant habitat in India.

Gemfields has selected ten jewelers across the country to create jewels using ethically mined emeralds from Zambia. The designs are inspired by the elephants and the corridors the mammals roam.

The 10 design firms are: Abaran Jewelers of Bangalore, Gem Palace of Jaipur, Khanna Jewellers of Delhi, Meena Jewelers of Hyderabad, Narayan Jewelers of Baroda, Sawansukha Jewelers of Kolkata, Talwarsons Jewelers of Chandigarh, Vummidi Bangaru Jewelrs of Chennai, and Anmol Jewelers and Nirav Modi of Mumbai.

The headlining piece from the collection will be a Ganesha sculpture called Emerald Avighna, with a 638-carat Gemfields Zambian emerald created by well known sculptor, Arzan Khambatta.

The collection will be auctioned by Sotheby's in October 14 at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai. Part of the proceeds from sale of jewels will be used to fund the World Land Trust's 'Indian Elephant Corridor' project.

The India campaign is followed by a highly successful 'Emeralds for Elephants' fund raiser organized by Gemfields at Selfridges in London in June 2010.

Kajol Maxi-luscious at Book Launch

Kajol rocked a new hair-do and a black print maxi at the launch of Asha Shankardass children books at the Crossword Store in Mumbai on Monday, July 18.

She was joined by her sister Tanisha at the unveiling of the books: Champa The Punjabi Kudi Discovers the Himalayas and Champa The Dreamer Journeys to the land of Buddha, written and illustrated by Shankardass.

Kajol, 36, paired her spaghetti strap flowy dress with a black scarf.

Kajol was last seen in Karan Johar production We Are Family in 2010, which was released around the time she was to deliver her son Yug (b. November 2010).

She has not signed any films since then, but recently Karan Johar said he is keen on bringing back the cast of Kabhi Khusi Kabhi Gham together for a sequel of the film. Other stars in the 2001 family drama included Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor.

"It's very strange. But all the six main members of the cast are as dear to me now as they were 10 years ago when I made the film. I'm sure they're as charged about the sequel as I am," Karan recently told Mumbai Mirror.

Salman Khan Gets Caged For 'Ek Tha Tiger'

Salman Khan has been known to 'call the shots' in films that he features in, but that was before he signed up with Yash Raj Films (YRF).

'Ek Tha Tiger' producers YRF have asked Salman to work exclusively on their project during its production, according to a Mumbai Mirror source.

YRF doesn't want Salman to work in his brother Sohail Khan's Sher Khan while he is working on Ek Tha Tiger, as had been planned earlier.

Surprisingly, Salman has agreed.

In deference to a request from YRF head honcho Aditya Chopra, Salman, 45, has blocked his dates exclusively for Ek Tha Tiger.

Salman's ready accommodation, despite three back-to-back super hits, stems from the close family ties between the Khans and the Chopras. Salman's father, Salim Khan, worked with the YRF in some of their most successful projects like Deewaar and Trishul.

Kabir Khan helmed Ek Tha Tiger is to begin production later this month.

It will be the first time Salman and YRF are working together.

Salman's brother Arbaaz Khan announced the rescheduling in a tweet on July 15.

"Salman is completing BODYGUARD now. Then he starts a yashraj film Ek THA TIGER after that Sohail's film and then mid next year DABANGG 2"

Interestingly Arbaaz did not mention Sajid Nadiadwala production Kick in the timeline given in his tweet. The film is to be helmed by Shirish Kunder. Sonakshi Sinha is the female lead in the film.

Back in June, Sohail had told Mid-Day:

"Aditya Chopra's Ek Tha Tiger will have a small shooting spell in July. After that, there will be a long stretch from September onwards. That's when I start my shooting with Bhai (Salman) for my own film. Adi and I have sat together and worked out the collective schedules of the two films so that there's no clash of dates."

Sohail had further gushed about Aditya Chopra:

"He's a really cool guy. So organized, it's a pleasure working with him. Not for a moment was there a clash of interest between my film and his. Bhai is working with Yashraj for the first time. And both the families (the Khans and Chopras) are equally enthusiastic about it."

Ajay Devgn, Kangana Ranaut Looking Intense in Tezz

The first look of Tezz, headlining Ajay Devgn and Kangana Ranaut, is promising. The romance thriller is 95% complete.

Ajay Devgn and Kangana Ranaut feature in the two first look images, with both the actors looking intense, Ranaut in a delightful new makeover.

Produced by Ratan Jain and presented by United 7 Entertainment, the film additionally stars Anil Kapoor, Mohan Lal, Boman Irani, Zayed Khan and Sameera Reddy.

The film, set in UK, is inspired by Jan de Bont's 1994 thriller, Speed, with slight variation - the bus has been replaced by a speeding subway train. Ajay Devgan plays the terrorist who plants the bomb in the train that runs between London and Glassgow. Kangana Ranaut plays his love interest.
