Says the source, “No one knew quite what to do since the medical facilities in Malshej were hardly adequate. Akshay quickly called up Mumbai and a doctor was rushed to Malshej. By the time he arrived, Katrina was feeling better, though weak. Farah suggested they cancel her shooting for the day, but Katrina insisted on shooting in the second-half of the day’s schedule.”

The reason given by the doctor for her sudden collapse was exertion and lack of sleep. Katrina has been advised to take it easy.

Her spokesperson confirmed the incident. “Katrina was unwell on Wednesday morning. She has been advised some rest. Of late she has been going through tremendous work stress travelling in and out of Mumbai.”

I couldn't take my eyes off Katrina Kaif: Zarine Khan

Debutante Zarine Khan doesn't mind being compared to her "Veer" co-star Salman Khan's girlfriend Katrina Kaif and says that the actress is so beautiful that even she couldn't take her eyes off.

"Being compared to Katrina Kaif is a huge compliment for me because I feel she is very beautiful. When I am compared to her, I feel overwhelmed. I have met her a couple of times and she is so beautiful that even I couldn't take my eyes off her," Zarine told IANS.

"Being compared to her is always a delight. Personally speaking, when I see myself in the mirror, I find no similarities."

Zarine, who is playing female lead with Salman in "Veer", says that she wanted to be a doctor and that acting happened to her by chance.

"I was always a very brilliant student, but not a nerd type. I wanted to be a doctor. But I couldn't continue my studies due to a financial crisis and the responsibility of my whole family fell on my shoulders. Acting happened by chance. Now I can be everything - a doctor, pilot, everything," said Zarine.

"I was a struggling model and was looking for some kind of work to take care of my family. I was doing very small print ads now and then for saris to earn money to run my house. One day I was home surfing the net when I got a call from Mukta Arts. They called me on the sets of 'Yuvvraaj'. There I met Salman.

"Salman is a huge actor and I am one of his great fans. I started talking to him like his fans would do. I had no clue that he was planning to take me in his film ('Veer'). Finally, when I asked for his autograph, he said, 'No sweetheart you will sign autograph for the world'. Later I got to know that he has selected me for this film," she added.

Though Salman chose Zarine, she had to pass an audition test.

"They had auditioned lots of girls because the female lead has two different looks in the movie - one is Indian and other Western. Whoever they auditioned looked good in either of the looks, not both. Some had language problem too. They tried me and I was lucky enough to fit into both the characters and they signed me," said Zarine.

"Veer" is directed by Anil Sharma and produced by Vijay Dalani and Sunil A. Lulla. The makers kept Zarine's name secret for a long time.

"Even I got strict instructions to keep it a secret from friends and family. I was allowed to give some clue to my parents," she said.

Asked why they were hiding her, she said: "I don't know. I was too junior to question them why they are asking me to do so. I just did what they asked me to do."

Set in colonial India, the film encapsulates a period when Britons enslaved India with their divide and rule policy and kings and nawabs fell for it, except for the Pindaris who preferred death to dishonour and fought till their last breath. Salman plays one of the bravest and strongest Pindari soldiers.

"It's a love story set in the backdrop of a war for independence. I play a Rajasthani princess," said Zarine.

Salman is known as an angry man, but Zarine got to know the caring and understanding side of his personality.

"I had heard that he is a very tough guy, he hardly speaks. But he spoke to me very nicely... may be because I met him first as a fan. In due course I realised whatever has been written about Salman is not true. He is so sweet. He has a heart of gold. He is a very genuine man.

"While shooting sometimes I couldn't understand some parts of my role. I used to be scared that Salman would get angry. But he used to patiently explain how to go about it," said Zarine.

She has already bagged a few offers but she hasn't signed any as she is waiting for the release of "Veer" Jan 22.

Stallone prefers painting to filmmaking

Hollywood`s action superstar Sylvester Stallone prefers painting to making films as with art he can only blame himself if it goes wrong.

The `Rocky` actor, who has had his paintings displayed at Art Basel Miami Beach recently, claimed films rarely live up to the hype because of the scale of production, a news website reported.

"Movies are a vision dependent upon three or four hundred people to accomplish it. So there`s great compromising," Stallone said.

"And so much is lost in the translation. So when you get up there, it`s maybe 40 per cent of the way you envisaged it. Because of the finance thing, and the actor doesn`t interpret it properly. Or the director isn`t on form that day and he missed the whole point," he added.

"Whereas painting is all you do. It either soars or it crashes. There`s no one to blame but one person," Stallone said.

The 63-year-old star also suggested many of his art pieces come out being in a bad mood.

"I find that the more unhappy you are, the more confused you are, the better your art is. Happy art, it just doesn`t seem to work for me," Stallone said.

Lindsay Lohan in trouble

Lindsay Lohan is at the centre of a hit and run case in Los Angeles after a paparazzi member filed a lawsuit against the actress claiming her driver almost killed him.

According to TMZ, the Mean Girls star’s car allegedly struck the photographer and then sped away from the scene.

The 23-year-old actor was not driving the vehicle but was inside the car at the time. And now, her driver is being targeted in a criminal assault with a deadly weapon investigation.

The incident reportedly occurred around 12:30 a.m PT in front of The Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, CA.

The photographer was injured but was not taken to hospital, revealed the report.

"Of course I'm going to sue them...but I don't care about the money,” News.com.au quoted the photographer as telling TMZ.

He claims he is "lucky to be alive", especially since the driver was wearing sunglasses while driving in a dark alley.

"I want to press charges so badly...she's going to jail,” he said.

Shahid Kapoor’s cross-connection with Vidya

Shahid Kapur and Vidya Balan surely connected well during the making of “Kismet Connection”. But their relationship did not last long and subsequently the two stopped speaking to each other.

More recently, in a candid interview with a Mumbai daily, without really naming him, Vidya even blasted Shahid for dumping her and the identity crisis her confused personal life put her through.

But filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj unknowingly got the two to speak with each other a few days back.

Vishal saw the promos of “Chance Pe Dance” and messaged Shahid appreciating him in the film. At the end of the message he put his initials as ‘VB’.

Vishal sent the message from his new number which Shahid did not have. Shahid thought VB was none other than Vidya Balan.

He immediately called Vidya and told her that rather than messaging she could have called to congratulate him. Vidya on the other hand was surprised and shocked and finally managed to tell Shahid that she never messaged him.

The good thing, however, was that this cross connection apparently got the two talking again.

Shahid Kapoor Shakes his legs for Lungi

Well, we can’t question Shahid ’s credibility as a dancer; the lad can shake his leg not just in denims but in a lungi as well. Yes, you can catch him doing a hottie-naughty dance in his next Chance Pe Dance.

The movie shows him as a struggler who wants to make it big in the film industry. This particular scene has Shahid shooting for a lungi ad. The set for the scene is designed in a 1980s style with all colourful pots and bright flags arranged in a row. Shahid Kapoor also flaunts a thick moustache and is dressed in a tacky yellow-coloured shirt and a deep blue lungi, as he shows some jhatkas-matkas.

As reported, the lungi brand has a funny name that came from director Ken Ghosh’s agile mind - ‘Airtime lungis.’

Zarine doesn’t look like Katrina: Salman Khan

While the media is flummoxed by the startling facial resemblance between Katrina Kaif and Zarine Khan, the heroine of Salman Khan’s upcoming film Veer, the superstar himself feels otherwise. According to him, there’s little similarity.

“I am amazed at the hype over the reported similarities. I don't see any resemblance except the fair skin and sharp nose. God has never made two people look alike. If there was any resemblance, I should have noticed it first,” Salman is quoted as saying by a news agency.

Salman, who previously introduced to Bollywood Sneha Ullal, a walking carbon copy of his ex girlfriend but now happily married Aishwarya Rai, denied that Zarine was signed for the role in ‘Veer’ because she looked like Katrina. He rather asserts that Zarine was signed because a fresh face was needed for the role.

“The presence of an established actress would have looked like as if the actress is playing the role. We wanted a yesteryear look and hence the need for a fresh face,” Salman said.

The movie has Salman playing a Pindari warrior and Zarine playing a princess who is the daughter of the sworn enemy of the Pindari clan.

Deepika Padukone loves buying lingerie!

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has recently revealed that she loves buying lingerie. The actress revealed the truth in an exclusive interview to the popular Cosomopolitan Magazine’s 13th Anniversary edition.

The actress was asked, “With all this attention, what do we still not know about you?” She replied, “Hey I thought I’m an open book! Okay, here it goes: I love to cook; I’m a very competitive sports player — I get all hot and sweaty playing sports; I am a chocoholic; I love buying lingerie; and I love playing pranks on my friends!”

So folks, now we know where we can find the lady!

Deepika-Shahid spotted getting friendly!

Shahid already has a supposed record of being linked to every heroine of his so far, but now, it seems to be happening off-screen too! At a starry award ceremony held here recently, none other than Deepika Padukone was spotted getting chatty and friendly with B-town’s lover boy!

According to a source, Dips, clad in a dazzling sari could be seen tip-toeing towards Shahid Kapoor at the event, while the actor seemed little surprised as he didn`t know how to react. Nevertheless, the actor apparently became quite friendly with the actress as she got herself comfortably seated just next to our lover boy.

Grapevine has it that choreographer-turned-director Ahmed Khan is planning a film with Shahid and Deepika as lead couple. Buzz is that Ahmed had thought of casting Katrina before, but finally zeroed in on Deepika. Well, in that case, the link-up is pretty obvious!

Jaya Bachchan is extremely fond of Ash’s ex-lover Vivek Oberoi

Guess who is bonding with the Bachchans now? It’s none other than `bahu` Aishwarya Rai’s ex-flame Vivek Oberoi who was seen at his impressive best at a recent award function where he socialized with mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan in his endless attempts to end the age-old fictions between the two parties.The year sure seems to have begun on a very positive note for this lad as Jaya, unlike the other members of the family, was much too keen to chat-up with the actor.

The actor seems to have been finally accepted by the Bachchan clan. As to how this miracle happened sources tell us that it’s all thanks to the strategic seat placement at several events.This time round at a Bollywood function on Friday, the actor was again seated right behind Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan. And as per sources, Vivek took full advantage of this co-incidence. Dancing on the chance the actor was spotted in an intense conversation with Jaya. Though Amitabh was not as forthcoming as his wife, Vivek was much too pleased to talk to senior Mrs Bachchan.

As for Abhishek and Aishwarya, the couple kept their distance and continued to give a cold snub to the craving for forgiveness actor. Well, with rumours stating that it’s Jaya Bachchan who calls the shots at the Bachchan household, it will only be a matter of time till Vivek will be forgiven by one and all.

Salman Khan ignores Katrina Kaif ?

Well rumour or truly a fact we don’t know but Salman seems to be too loyal to his fans. Be it blogging or giving interviews.

Sallu was giving interviews for his upcoming film Veer in Mumbai’s Mehboob Studios, and Katrina was in the same location, shooting for an ad. When she got a break, she went to Salman and said ‘Hi’, but Salman gave her a cold shoulder.

Well we hope everything is fine between Sallu and Katrina or it’s the usual ups and downs that every couple goes through.

Salman Khan amazed at hype of Zarine's look

Bollywood star Salman Khan says he is amazed at the hype over the reported similarities between his Veer co-star Zarine and actress Katrina Kaif insisting that if there were any he would have been the first to notice.

The actor added he does not see any resemblance between the two except the fair skin and sharp nose.

"I am amazed at the hype over the reported similarities. I don't see any resemblance except the fair skin and sharp nose. God has never made two people look alike. If there was any resemblance, I should have noticed it first," Salman told PTI.

He said producers of the film, which he has scripted, wanted a new face for the role of the Rajput princess.

"The presence of an established actress would have looked like as if the actress is playing the role. We wanted a yesteryear look and hence the need for a fresh face," Salman, who met Zarine at Subhash Ghai's sets of Yuvraj, said.

Apart from acting and scripting Veer, Salman was actively involved in the creative process of the movie.

"The intense discussion and fights on the sets between me and director Anil Sharma has resulted into a good product. We have not followed the regular format for a period drama and tried to give it a very contemporary look with elements of emotions, drama, comedy and romance. It should not look like period films are very serious," he said.

Salman said he does not feel the pressure of the huge box office success of Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots to assert him in the number race.

"If my film is good, it will work with the audience. There is no question of pressure at all. Just because I have written the film does not mean that it is good. Audience has to like it," he said.

To a question on why he chose to write a period film rather than a contemporary one, Salman said, "It is because the story is about being true to your word, enemity, love and
how such sentiments are carried on by the next generation too."

"Pindaris were not barbarians as they were made out to be. All they wanted is Azadi," he said.

Salman admitted that Veer is over-budget. "Audiences are not concerned about the budget. All they want is a good entertaining film. The movie is larger than life. I am not making a film to depress people," he said.

Speaking about why his last two films Main Aur Mrs Khanna and London Dreams could not sustain the positive impact of Wanted at the box office, Salman said, London Dreams was 25 to 30 minutes longer.

"It was an amazing film but the length should have been 2 hour 20 minute. The film's length was trimmed, five days after its release. The length has to be kept as long as it is interesting. Even 3 Idiots is 2 hour 50 minutes but it is an interesting film," he said.

"I was bored seeing my own film then how do you keep the audience hooked," he asked.

Salman said Mithun Chakraborty's children convinced him to play the his father's role in Veer as he was not initially interested because the role required him to be physically fit and have a toned body.

"All three children address him Mithun and they share an amazing relationship. The same emotions and bond has been translated on screen. Besides, he always remembers the moral support my father gave him when he was struggler," he said.

Salman said he has not given an thought to direction. "I would not like to direct a film as of now," he said.

Movie Kajraare First Look and Stills

Audacious Vidya- From boozing to finger-sucking

What impression do we have of gorgeous Vidya Balan? She never touches alcohol, and does not involve in the negative shades. But for the upcoming movie ‘Ishqiya,’ she has shot a special risqué song called ‘Ibn batuta’ in ‘Ishqiya’ with co-stars Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi.

What Vidya Balan describes as the most blatant come-hither gesture which she has ever seen any actress in Hindi cinema make, in Ishqiya she had to take Arshad Warsi’s thumb in her mouth and suck it.

In the rehearsals, each time she did so, she would burst into uncontrollable titters and Arshad would then join in.

“Fortunately, Arshad is a friend. We’ve gotten along well from the time we did ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ together. I don’t know I’d have been able to do a scene like putting my co-star’s finger in the mouth with someone else. That gesture of sucking Arshad’s thumb was so raunchy and sexy, so not me, I couldn’t connect with it all,” Vidya said.

Goa politician who ‘raped’ Russian surrenders

After evading arrest for nearly a month, Goa politician John Fernandes, accused of raping a 25-year-old Russian woman, surrendered before the police on Tuesday. The surrender came two days after the Supreme Court refused to restore his anticipatory bail initially granted.

Fernandes has been arrested and would be interrogated, Deputy Superintendent of Police Chandrakant Salgaoncar said. He said the accused walked into the Crime Branch office at Dona Paula with his lawyer at 2 pm.

He also said the accused would be charged with destroying evidence as he had not handed over the clothes worn by him on the day he allegedly raped the Russian woman.

Fernandes, a south Goa politician, who unsuccessfully fought 2007 assembly elections on a ticket by Churchill Alemao's Save Goa Front Party, allegedly raped the 25-year-old Russian by spiking her drinks at Colva beach on the night of December 1.

Salgaoncar said the accused went missing when the Panaji bench of Bombay High Court rejected the anticipatory bail granted to him by the district and sessions court. The accused then approached the Supreme Court with the anticipatory bail plea. The SC refused to interfere with the high court order.

The crime branch will now initiate a probe into Fernandes' movements since he went missing. "If some people helped him to hide, we will initiate action against them," Salgaoncar said.

Police had issued lookout circulars after Fernandes went missing. He was declared an absconder by the First Class Judicial Magistrate of Margao.
