TINSEL TOWN

Bad choice


Why did Lara Dutta drop out of a proper heroine’s role opposite Salman Khan in “Main Aur Mrs. Khanna” and do a small role in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer “Billo Barber” which has her opposite Irrfan Khan? Even SRK himself has said that it is not a typical heroine’s role in terms of content and length, which is the reason why Rani pulled out of the film. It is one thing to move from Sallu to SRK, but from Sallu to Irrfan? We haven’t understood Lara as yet.

Playing Sahil Khan

Long ago actor Sahil Khan was featured on the cover of a film glossy where he said that he wanted to be the next big Khan. The actor never made it till date, doing big roles in small films, but SRK has made Sahil Khan into a star. Shah Rukh is called Sahil Khan in his next film “Billo Barber” and he is not playing himself as has been reported across the industry.

Missing her bro

Riddhima Kapoor Sahni missed her brother Ranbir this Bhai Dooj. “I celebrate bhai dooj but only when I am in Mumbai or if my brother Ranbir Kapoor comes over to Delhi. But this time I will not be celebrating as he is busy with his shoot and I am here celebrating Deepavali with my husband and family. Most of the time, the gifts are only in cash,” she says. Well Riddhima, bad time to miss, because he’s earning lots now.

No pain in the neck


Actor and anchor Nauheed Cyrusi has just got a new tattoo and she’s very happy about that. “I just have one tattoo which is a part of my prayer which I know is going to stay with me for the rest of my life. My tattoo reads Manashvi, Vanshvi, Gunashvi which means Good Thought, Good Words and Good Deeds in Persian. It is at the back of my neck,” she says.

Himesh Vs. the rest

Himesh Reshammiya will have to answer a lot of questions, we are sure in the coming days. One — his film has not done as well as promised. So his next film is not getting sold easily. Two — he made sure through some media friends that only he was promoted during “Karzzzz” and the producer is miffed. One of his media friends too received a gift from him recently which was a Honeymoon package to Switzerland.
