So, as we had said it's a love of three lives between Shahid and Priyanka.

Well, that sure is an interesting concept and also explains the three looks of Shahid Kapoor in the pictures being circulated in the web world, and should also douse the curiosity of all those who were speculating about Kunal Kohli's film being a three generation story!

ACCORDING TO KARAN JOHAR, KAREENA IS HEROINE NO. 1

The big debate as to 'who is India's numero uno actress presently?' seems to be sorted out for the moment. Well how? Filmmaker Karan Johar putting the long time guesswork to the rest declared that Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor is 'Heroine No. 1'.

Recently at an event to unveil the first look trailer of the upcoming film EK MAIN AUR EKK TU, Kareena was posed a question whether she considers herself the No.1 actress of B-town. While Kareena refused to answer the tricky question saying, "I don't know. I am not going to answer this question," Imran Khan, producer Karan Johar and debutant director Shakun Batra, who were also present at the event, prompted, "According to us Kareena is Heroine No.1."

And if this was not enough Karan, who was at his wittiest best at the event, quite dramatically announced, "Introducing the Heroine No.1 Kareena Kapoor (chuckles)."

When it comes from someone like Karan Johar, Kareena can safely accept or call herself Heroine No. 1 the next time. What say Bebo?

AKSHAY KUMAR IN A COMPLETE NEW LOOK IN "ROWDY RATHORE"

POOJA MISSRA - THROWN OUT OF BIG BOSS 5

VJ Pooja Missra feels she has been misunderstood and feels victimised after she was thrown out of "Big Boss 5" because of her "aggressive nature".

"I am not an aggressive or violent girl but I was forced to be like that. I had to face many harsh things when I entered the house. Some participants used to say bad things about me, they used to bang the washroom doors in front of my face. Some used to shout at me without any reason. There was so much harassment, so yes, I was victimised," Pooja told reporters, after she was left the show Saturday.

"I agree this is the format of the show and I don`t have any problem with that but I think I have been misunderstood especially when people call me a violent girl," she added.

She also feels what went against her was that she spoke against negative people and wrong things.

"My problem inside the house was that I stood and spoke against the wrong happenings and for this people took me in the wrong manner. I am actually a quiet person and I wanted to be like that but circumstances forced me to fight for my rights," she said.

SHAHRUKH KHAN WORKED WITH REAL PRISONERS

The fearless Don aka Shahrukh Khan has hit the nail hard and bang on with his dreadlocked look in the film as seen in the trailers. The star, who sports a special haircut for his jail sequence, has been getting muddy and dirty as he packs punches with the inmates. Shahrukh shot for this scene at the Malacca Prison in Malaysia.

Explaining the sequence, a crew member said, "Don has an ace up his sleeves and has already masterminded a prison break."

Shahrukh Khan takes on the inmates of the jail and those who dared to question how he landed up behind the high walls. The actor shot with several local Malaysian artists for this sequence which was physically taxing.

The film was shot in a real prison with real prisoners behind the jail and a complete section of the prison block was made available to shoot. In order to avoid any hitches, special crew t-shirts were made to differentiate crewmembers from the prisoners as it was a high security zone. None of the crew members were allowed to carry their mobile phones and laptops.

Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and director Farhan Akhtar who is also the director of the flick, DON 2 is slated to break into screens on the 21st December 2011.

The overjoyed grandpa has also dedicated a poem for Beti B, a name coined for the little one, which he published on his blog. The poem too was actually written by his father, the late poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan when Big B was born.

Big B blogs, "She is home! And nothing could give us all greater joy and happiness .. There is so much to say and so much emotion, but I think excerpts from my Fathers poem, written at the time I was born, say enough!"

The Poem is as follows:

फुल्ल कमल,

गोद नवल,

मोद नवल,

गेह में विनोद नवल।

नवल दृश्य,

नवल दृष्टि,

जीवन का नव भविष्य,

जीवन की नवल सृष्टि।

Sunny Leone charged up the energy in the Big Boss house with her grand entry. She was carried inside the house by eight men on the beats of ‘Chaliya Chaliya’. Not to mention here that the male contestants immediately took up the task of flirting with her. However, Sunny has taken up all this attention in her stride and is happily participating in the house tasks with ease and co-operation.

When she took up the task of mopping the floor we were immediately reminded of Pamela Anderson sweeping the floor with a broom in the last season of Big Boss. Siddharth Bhardwaj helped her in the chore and the way he followed her, he seemed to have become her shadow of late.

SAMEERA REDDY IN A NEW MOVIE "TEZZ"

While insiders are claiming that TEZZ is turning hotter as it approaches its release time period, one can well trust this statement to be indeed true. Reason being that Ajay Devgn would be seen in a stylish-n-cool avatar for this action flick which is said to be a remake of Japanese film THE BULLET TRAIN. Also with others like Zayed Khan and Sameera Reddy indulging in some dare devil action sequences as well there is some young blood which is adding on to the excitement.

No wonder, for Sameera it's case of a new world being explored since she could turn into a biker girl here, something that she was longing for ever since she turned an actress.

"My entire bike riding experience was simply crazy. I trained for 4-5 months on the bike and in fact Ratanji was worried that I may just injure myself since for first two weeks I was just falling off every now and then," laughs Sameera, "However after some more training, I took to bike riding like I was born to do it. This movie has taught me a lot of things that I had never done before; like for example holding my breath under water."

Sharing her experience around this adventure of hers, Sameera says, "There was this sequence where I was supposed to be trapped in this water rapid. It was so cold and I was specifically told that I had to hold a particular rock so that I am not swayed by water. However I was in my own masti and by mistake started floating away from the camera. It was really crazy but then let me admit that TEZZ has been one of the most physically challenging roles that I have ever done."

Also starring Kangna Ranaut, Boman Irani and Mohanlal, TEZZ releases all over on 26th January next year.
