Deepika Padukone Ex-BoyFriend in a film!
Deepika Padukone Ex BoyFriend Nihar Pandya In A Film: Himesh Reshammiya's estranged friend, Prashant Chadha, is directing Rome The Real Dope On Romeo starring Deepika Padukone's ex-boyfriend, Nihar Pandya. The interesting bit about the flick is that certain scenes have been inspired from Nihar's real-life break-up.
Says a source connected to the film, "The hero's first scene starts with a monologue in front of the mirror where he talks about worshipping his girlfriend for four years and then, being dumped unceremoniously in favour of a more successful man. He then starts his search for a famous lover, Romeo."
Prashant says, "The film is about the journey of a rich young man who gets dumped by his girlfriend. He then starts his journey from Rome through Italy in search of Romeo who is a successful lover, while he couldn't be. I will be casting a known actress from B-Town and a foreign actress."
Prashant admits that Rome has been inspired from Nihar's real life. "Nihar's first scene depicts his state after he is jilted. Though people have tagged Nihar as a Casanova, it's not true.
Rome will show the truth of what happened. My ideal cast for Nihar's character's ex-girlfriend in Rome would be Deepika herself, though I am yet to approach her. Nihar knows what the story and screenplay are and he's comfortable playing a large portion of his real life on screen."Prashant is also directing an untitled film with Sachin Joshi and Candice Boucher.

Deepika Padukone-‘I am having the tattoo removed’
Deepika Padukone is planning to go in for laser assisted tattoo removel sessions to get rid of the telltale sign of her broken relationship with Ranbir Kapoor. Deepika had got the tattoo in the design of a flower with the initials RK done on the nape of her neck at the peak of her romance with Ranbir Kapoor.
She had used a concealer to hide it when she shot for Lafangey Parindey and Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. In the past, Deepika has often been asked about the tattoo, but she has always been evaded the question. Now she has finally decided to get rid of it.
A source reveals, “Deepika has made up her mind. She will be removing the RK tattoo. She is a strong girl and once she decides something, there is nothing stopping her. The decision also comes from the fact that she is in a happy place with her new boyfriend Siddharth Mallya and has completely moved on”.
The actress confirmed the news, “Yes, I am having the tattoo removed”.
Shahrukh was the first choice for ‘Endhiran’!
Believe it or not, but Rajinikanth was not the first choice of filmmaker Shankar, for Endhiran.
Shankar initially wanted either Kamal Hassan or ShahRukh Khan for the role opposite Aishwarya Rai. However things didn’t turn out as expected and the project was grabbed by Rajinikanth.
After giving hits like ‘Sivaji’ with director Shankar, Rajinikanth is extremely happy to work with him again.
Enthiran is a forthcoming Tamil science fiction film co-written and directed by S. Shankar. The film features Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles with A. R. Rahman working on background score and soundtrack.The film will be released worldwide on 24 September this year. It is known for being the most expensive Asian film ever made.
Deppika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan pairing!
He is one director who has always worked with the best in the industry. A writer, director, producer and music director, Vishal Bhardwaj has worked with Tabu in Maqbool, Kareena Kapoor in Omkara and Priyanka Chopra in Kaminey & Saat Khoon Maaf. So, who is the latest leading lady signed by Vishal? Its none other than the gorgeous Deepika Padukone.
Yes! The lady has been signed for Vishal’s next movie opposite Saif Ali Khan. Though the buzz n the industry was that Piggy Chops in this director’s favourite but considering the kind of chemistry Saif and Deepika shared in Love Aaj Kal, this certainly seems to be a smart choice. Going on twitter, Deepika confirmed the news to her fans, “Yes its true! signed a movie with Vishal Bhardwaj! I am really really excited he is a genius!!:-)”
The movie will be produced by Ekta Kapoor and is scheduled to go on floors early next year.
Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3!
Has Aditya Chopra roped in Aamir Khan for the thirdf installment of Dhoom? Believe me, everyone’s keen to know the answer to this question. What makes it interesting is that Aamir Khan has been approached for the villain’s role in “Dhoom 3″ and if one looks back, the negative character in the Dhoom series has always had the meatiest part. Recall John Abraham in Dhoom and Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2.
Another reason why an announcement like this would hit headlines instantly is because Aamir Khan and Yash Raj have not worked again after Fanaa and if “Dhoom 3″ happens, it would be, without doubt, the most awaited project to look forward to, since Aamir Khan, Yash Raj and the super successful brand (Dhoom) happens once in lifetime.
Of course, Aamir Khan is non committal about it. He is neither confirming the development, no denying it. But knowing Aamir Khan he would not comment on it till everything is worked out to the minutest detail and perhaps, “Dhoom 3″ is still in the plannong stages right now. Even the spokesperson from Yash Raj tells me that the scripting is not in place as of now, so the question of casting just does not arise.
Deepika got a new marriage proposal!
It wasn't the perfect setting for a romantic proposal, but a young Delhi boy dared to pop the question to actress Deepika Padukone when she came to a mall here Tuesday to promote her film 'Lafangey Parindey'.
The youth went down on his knees, looked at the Bollywood beauty and asked: 'Will you marry me?'
Deepika, who was accompanied by her co-star Neil Nitin Mukesh, seemed baffled by the sudden, unexpected proposal. But she was quick to respond.
'I am not ready for marriage yet,' replied Deepika, who looked lovely in a sari. But the youth wasn't willing to give up so easily. 'But I am ready for you,' he said.
Deepika, who is rumoured to be dating liquor baron Vijay Mallya's son Siddharth, brushed the whole incident with a laugh. Both the actors were in a fun mood and mingled with the huge crowd that had gathered in the south Delhi mall to catch a glimpse of the stars at the event organised by DT Cinemas.
Neil's father, singer Nitin Mukesh, was present at the event and he sang his father Mukesh's evergreen song 'Kisiki muskurahaton pe...' for the crowd. Even Neil and Deepika gave in to the requests of their fans by doing a casual dance to 'Dhatad tatad', a popular song from 'Lafangey Parindey', which releases Friday.
The film will have Neil playing a boxer who fights blindfolded, and Deepika will be seen as a visually challenged girl who can dance on skates.

In a recent interview Deepika also disclosed her desire to star opposite Ranbir Kapoor in movies. She reportedly told, “Contrary to what people think, I want to work with Ranbir. They might be thinking that I would be uncomfortable working with him, to them I say that I have never mixed personal and professional life.”
Well said Deepika! We are also dying to see mesmerizing chemistry between both of you.
Deepika’s assistants made her secret public!
Deepika Padukone turned red hot when one of her assistants leaked the secret of her using the loo. During the shooting of ‘Break Ke Baad’, Deepika almost turned furious when she came to know that one of her assistants made the secret public that she is using the toilet.
According to reports, filmmaker Danish Aslam had assigned few young assistants to keep track on Deepika’s every movement. But they went beyond their job. They monitored every action of the actress and even conveyed the news of her using the toilet to each other over walkie-talkie. One day during the shooting of the film, she stepped out of the vanity van and excused herself for using the bathroom.
The actress went mad when she came to know that the entire unit came to know about her visit to the loo. Later, she conveyed the same to the filmmaker and the assistants were warned to be careful from the next time.
Dignified lass Deepika was left embarrassed.
Salman Khan have broken up with Katrina!
When Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif were a couple, their admission of love came forth in just muted tones. Now, when the industry is abuzz with the talks of their split, Salman has thrown a bombshell by admitting that he and Katrina have indeed parted ways.
“I have broken up with Katrina. We were friends then for everybody, we are friends now,” Salman is quoted to have said in an interview to Headlines Today.
The Dabangg star got a little philosophical when asked about the reason of his break-up from Katrina.
“Koi cheez tootati hain toh isliye kyonki ya toh different ways chali gayi hain, ya ek shakhs ki growth nahin hui, ya ek ne kuch aur path chun liya hai, ya sensibility samajh mein nahi aati, ya thinking galat ho gayi hain (A relationship breaks when it strays off in different directions, or when one of the two has stopped growing, or when the other person has chosen a different path, or when the thinking has got distorted).”
Salman did not specify which of these was the reason for his break-up from Katrina.
“It's just two people not getting along, something that obviously doesn't end peacefully. But if you can manage to stay friends, there is nothing like it,” he added
Yes, Salman and Katrina are continuing to remain friends.
Mugdha Godse
Mugdha Godse was also nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut Award category. Will You Marry Me? Is another film of the actress that is salted for December release.
Kati Patang was only the beginning of her career that was followed by Ittefaaq (1969) and Imtihaan (1974), Hawas (1974). With a string of hits behind Bindu, she successfully managed to break out of the myth that married actresses usually do not go to become sex symbols, especially in the Hindi film industry.
Priyanka Chopra To Be The Nation’s Green Ambassador
As per the latest news, the Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has decided to be the nationwide green ambassador so as to kick off several eco-friendly campaigns in India. This information has been revealed by the Environment and Forests Minister Jairam Ramesh.

The actress is, at present, the green ambassador for an environment campaign kicked by Greenathon. She was also there to announce Green Awards. Thus we can see, she has plunged into the eco-friendly activities.

Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor talking about marriage!
Coincidence was never this startlingly romantic. If you notice the sound bytes given to the media by Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor in recent interviews, you can’t help noticing that the two stars are talking about the same subject - marriage.
On the one hand, the Kapoor’s famous Bungalow Krishna Raj is being razed and a new 14-storey building will come up in its place, because the Kapoors have already started planning for Ranbir’s marriage.
“I want to start a family at some point. So we’re only making a bigger house for ourselves,” Ranbir is quoted to have said.
On the other hand, Katrina, who is otherwise tight-lipped in talking to the media about her personal life, has been showing appreciable candour by admitting that she plans to get married by 2012.
“I’ve always wanted to marry when I’m 28,” Katrina is quoted to have said.
Doing simple maths, Katrina will turn 28 after two years. Interestingly, Ranbir’s new house would also be ready to move in by then.
So are Ranbir and Katrina subtly insinuating something to us?
Twinkle Khanna attended her ex-boyfriend’s birthday!
At former boyfriend Abhishek Kapoor’s birthday bash, Twinkle Khanna landed up with her girlfriends and minus husband Akshay Kumar.
Seems like just the season for exes looking to cosy up with their past flames. Sangeeta Bijlani’s reasons for standing by Sallu at his sister Arpita’s party, could have been different.
But Twinkle Khanna’s presence at Rock On director Abhishek Kapoor’s (Gattu) birthday bash was a bit odd. Not accompanied by hubby Akshay Kumar, Twinkle landed up at ex-boyfriend Gattu’s party, all decked up.
The celebrations were organised at Abhishek’s friend Rajat Patel’s Bandra residence, on Friday night. Though a couple of star-wives, like Gauri Khan and Sussanne Roshan came to the party not accompanied by their husbands, Dino Morea and Nandita Mahtani made an exception along with Arjun Rampal and wife Mehr Jessia (who was looking ravishing in a white dress) and Chunky Pandey with Bhavna.
As for Gauri’s, Sussanne’s and Twinkle’s respective husbands, just FYI, they are all currently shooting abroad. Too much of a coincidence? An eyewitness says, “While it seemed like all the wives were enjoying their girls’ night out, Nandita and Dino spent quality time cosying up to each other through the entire night.” Aww!
Apparently, the party started at midnight and continued till early morning. Everyone was in high spirits, dancing to Arjun Rampal’s tunes. Yes, the actor played DJ that night and belted out some good Bollywood and house music, much to the guests’ pleasure.
Mughda-Bobby need Help
Being looked upon as this year’s one of most unconventional on screen pairs, Bobby Deol and Mugdha Godse will be seen in some very cozy scenes in their upcoming horror film Help , when it hits the theatres on this Friday the 13. With changing times in Bollywood, nowadays movie promotion has become one of the most important factors contributing to a film’s success and production houses use aggressive marketing strategies and some out of the box ideas for the same.
In symmetry to this, Help has already managed to set ablaze the markets with the bikini photos of Mugdha Godse which have been doing the rounds lately. Now we see some ecstatic intimate pictures of Bobby and Mugdha from the film and from one of the pictures one can easily guess a near Lip-Lock between the two, which has come out as a latest tool of promotion for the film.
But have Mugdha and Bobby really locked the lips in the film or not? Wait for Friday the 13th.
Ranbir Kapoor wants to start a family soon

Shahrukh and Katrina in historical love story
Paris-based Indian filmmaker Vijay Singh is set to do what none has been able to in Hindi film industry so far. He’s in talks with Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan for his next project, an 18th century historical love story between an Awadh king and a British girl.
Singh, who has shot critically acclaimed feature films like Jaya Ganga and One Dollar Curry in the past feels that Shahrukh, who has previously played emperor Ashoka, will be perfect as Nawab Naseeruddin Haidar in his third film, The Opium Symphony, based on his book Whirlpool of Shadows.
“I had met Shah Rukh regarding the movie and he had liked the idea. I am planning to approach him again for the role of the Nawab. He ruled Awadh from 1826-36 and fell in love with a British girl but their love did not suit the interest of opium traders at that time,” Singh said in an interview.
The coup is that to play the British girl, Singh has his eye on Katrina Kaif.
“Earlier I was planning to take a Hollywood starlet opposite him for the role of the British girl but I might talk to Katrina Kaif. I have been told she is British and is a fine actress,” Singh said.

Ab fab: Mel B showed off her toned figure in Malibu, California this week
As a former Spice Girl and fitness DVD star, Mel B knows all about keeping her body in shape - and how to show it off.
The 35-year-old singer and television host pranced down the beach this week in a vibrant orange bikini which showed off the star's rock hard abs.
Accompanied by her husband Stephen Belafonte, who is clearly in awe of his physically fit wife, the star relaxed in the sun and strolled the beach in Malibu, California, while enjoying a glass of wine.
Mel, the new host of the Oxygen Networks popular weight loss show, Dance Your A** Off, put on weight after having her second child in 2006 but got back in shape after signing on to be the spokesmodel for Ultimo underwear.
By combining yoga, swimming and Brazilian martial art, Capoeira, and eating a diet low in sodium and refined carbs but high in fish oils and green vegetables, the star dropped two stone.
This also motivated her to make her own fitness DVD and sign on to star in the burlesque review Peepshow in Las Vegas alongside Playboy playmate Holly Madison last year.
The star and her movie producer husband are putting themselves further into the spotlight after signing up to star in their own reality show.
Entitled The Mel B Project, the show will follow the entertainer as she balances being a singer, actress, wife and mother to Phoenix, 11 and 3-year old Angel, her daughter with actor Eddie Murphy.
Happy couple: The pair, who are filming a new reality TV show, strolled the beach and enjoyed a drink in the sunshine
The family began filming for the show around Los Angeles last month and Mel has promised the show will be 'crazier than the Osbournes.'
She told The Daily Star: 'I'm not exactly going to be Miss Goody Two Shoes and play it completely by the book. I'm going to be me. I love the work I do.
More...
'I couldn't do a nine-to-five. I respect people who do it, but that could never be me. I like to work odd hours.
'I like to wake up at 11pm and if I've got a song in my head, go to the studio and record it, then go back to bed, and then wake up the kids and take them to school. That's the kind of life I like to live. A very creative life.'
That's a bit cheeky! The Dance Your A** Off host is clearly proud of her derriere
Hollywood Masti Masala
John Abraham wants to insure his butt
Who can forget John Abraham’s yellow trunks and sexy butt in Dostana! Following the Hollywood trend of insuring body parts, John has shown interest in insuring his killer bottom, that too for a whopping Rs 10 crore.
If this happens John will be the first Bollywood star to do so. In India celebrities don’t insure their body parts unlike in the west, but the trend seems to be catching up here as well after a host of Hollywood stars getting their anatomical assets insured. According to a source, rupees ten crores is a big amount of insurance and John has to pay a handsome premium for it. But the star with an enviable bum has no hiccups, whatever the price may be.
Confirming the news to a daily, John who recently suffered from a minor muscle problem, is quoted as saying, “I agree that there is an initiative from my side but this is a work-in-progress. I am meeting various people for this. At this point, I would not like to say more.”
The sensational singer and actress Jennifer Lopez has got $27 million insurance policy for her sexy derriere.
