This is a still from Priyanka Chopra and Uday Chopra’s upcoming film Pyaar Impossible.

Pyaar Impossible is a story of Abhay (Uday) and Alisha (Priyanka) - Abhay who is a nerdy, awkward, socially challenged and bespectacled geek and Alisha who is the epitome of beauty that any man would willingly rip his heart out for!

And when these two worlds collide you get:

1 Beauty + 1 Geek = Pyaar Impossible!

Looks like apna loverboy Rajeev Khandelwal has found the love of his life. Her name is Lekha Washington and she’s acting with him in the film Peter Gaya Kaam Se. Their love blossomed at Goa when they were shooting for the film. Sources say that they were all over the place and even went pubbing together. Now to hear something like this about Rajeev, knowing how he hates to go for parties and socialize too much, it seems that Lekha’s probably been the reason for this change.

Lekha, who very recently started her career with a south Indian film, is not too well known, but as Rajeev is a popular face, he had to cover up by wearing sunglasses and caps to make sure no one sees them together.

Due to the producers’ strike, they haven’t been shooting but they’re still in touch over SMSes and who knows, may be even visits to each other’s homes. But I’m glad, that he’s moved on, the way his ex girlfriend Aamna Shariff has with Aloo Chaat co-star Aftab Shivdasani.

Saif Ali Khan, in a recent interview admitted to being completely in love with Kareena Kapoor. He spoke about how their relationship has changed his life for the good and the obstacles that might come ahead. His life took a full 360 degrees turn after Kal Ho Na Ho and people started taking him seriously. From the beginning, Saif has been known as the “cool & chilled out actor in Bollywood”, but his life is different now.
Amrita Singh and Rosa were his past but Kareena is his present, and hopefully his future too. He doesn’t want to rush into marriage and admitted that he and Kareena are both at their career’s peaks hence they are focusing on that right now.

His home production Love Aaj Kal is in its post production stage and Kareena’s involving herself in the marketing so that this film becomes a super-duper hit. They both are upset that Kareena wasn’t in the film but Deepika has done a great job and she was the director Imtiaz’s choice for the role. The only worry was that they really missed each other and Saif wished that he would get to romance Kareena on screen. But now Saif is so busy with the film that he only eats, sleeps and breathes Love Aaj Kal and has no time for Kareena. (Not like she’s sitting lukhi!) She also said the film is their baby and she’ll do everything she can to make sure it is successful.

When questioned about exes, Saif admitted that he’s very possessive and he would not like Kareena to speak to Shahid, as he wouldn’t tread that path either. Rosa was a part of his past and he would prefer to stay aloof and never go back and talk to her again.

His kids Sara and Ibrahim are growing up and he spends as much times as he can with them. Strange, but I haven’t seen a single picture or read a single article of Kareena and Saif’s kids. While he was seeing Rosa, they made quite a lot of appearances with the kids, but now I don’t see any of that. I’m thinking whether  it is because they don’t like the new woman in his life or if Saif trying to keep Kareena away from them? Hmmm…

Akshay Kumar’s first season of Khatron Ke Khiladi was a lot of fun to watch, but before you start recollecting what happened, here’s the advance gossip of this year’s season. Hold your breath…This year’s winner is Viva girl Anushka Manchanda. How do I know, you ask? Well, its obvious that I’ve heard this somewhere, from a reliable source, of course!

The season, which will be aired in September, was shot in April 2009 itself in South Africa as the climate was perfect. Akshay Kumar also had time to devote to stunts that will be seen on the show. I’m not sure about the 13 women on the show, but here’s a list of some that might be participatin this year. They include Rosa Cattalano, Mandira Bedi, Rupali Ganguly, Shveta Salve, Pia Trivedi, Anushka Manchanda, Bruna Abdullah and Carol Gracias. I’m hoping this season will be hotter than last time’s. The women for sure are hotter!

It was considered an unwritten rule in Bollywood that when Mallika Sherawat demands something she gets it. There aren’t many men in the industry who would dare to say NO to Mallika Sherawat. Remember even Big B had accepted her offer to go for jogging in slow motion on National Television.

But well there has been an exception now! It is learnt from my industry sources that talented actor Kay Kay Menon turned down the role that Mallika offered him in her home production Hisss.

Mallika is a genuine fan of Kay Kay’s work, especially his intensity. Together they had worked in Sanjay Chhel’s Maan Gaye Moghal-E-Azam. She then sent over the script of her film. First Kay Kay took days to get back, he then called her up to tell her he was not interested in the role.

Mallika who is not used to hearing a NO hung up on him in the middle of the conversation even before he could give reasons for not doing the film. Well just imagine what would have happened had he said that on her face…a HISSSS???

Bollywood’s handsome hunk Salman Khan who has been associated with the hot German model Claudia Ciesla has finally spoken. In a recent interview with a Kolkata newspaper, he said that Claudia is his “special friend” and that he took her home to make her meet his family. “Claudia is a very nice girl. I have introduced her to my family,” Salman Khan said casually when queried about his ‘relationship’ with Claudia.

Claudia Ciesla has been misunderstood by the Indian media as being a topless model. She did start her career with a shoot in which she posed naked, but it was only because she was just starting off, claimed her spokesperson.

Speaking to the journalist from Kolkata via email, Claudia said, “I love the Indian Culture, ethos, and traditions. I respect all Indian religions. I am God-willing planning to permanently settle in India. I am not a nude or topless model but a very serious professional who has done some very good work in the west.” She also elaborated that she represents Bollywood fashion designer Umair Zafar’s ethnic and Indian fashion in Europe and will be participating in a talent contest and beauty pageant called LIVING TALENT FACE OF INDIA which will contribute a substantial sum of money for the benefit of street children.

Perhaps Salman was impressed by this or maybe he just has special feelings for her. But we know that he took her home and she had good things to say about his family. She said, “I met his wonderful family - brothers, sister and his darling and handsome father Salim. They are a very warm and friendly family. All very down to earth. Salman is a real man. He has a heart of gold. He is fearless - not scared to admit his friendship with anyone, unlike some other male actors and directors in Bollywood. Salman Khan is my hero”.
Its pretty clear now that Salman and Claudia have been in close contact. If that’s the reason for the Sallu-Kat break-up, I’m not surprised.

After her kiss with Madhavan in Guru, which i must say was very very gross. Vidya Balan seems to have now developed cold feet to the idea of smooching another co-star, thank god for that.

The actress has put her foot down and said no to a liplock with Arshad Warsi in Ishqiya. I bet she thinks she is a bad kisser and doesnt want people to know that ;).

Anyway Ishqiya was being shot on Wednesday at the Borivili National Park. Several scenes were to be canned, including one smooch scene between Vidya and Arshad.The actress threw a fit and completely refused to a liplock with Arshad. Oops!! now that must have been very embarrasing for Arshad.

Balan has intimate scenes with Arshad in the film but her refusal to smooch shocked everyone. It’s surprising that she did steamy scenes but refused to smooch Arshad, now Cmon.

After watching the promos of Kambakkht Ishq, I think Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar’s jodi might just work wonders! Both are amongst the most wanted actors in Bollywood today and after seeing them together sharing the same screen space, who would not want to see their chemistry.

We’ve seen Kareena kiss Fardeen Khan in Dev and Shahid Kapur in Jab We Met. But to see her kiss Khiladi no.1 Akshay Kumar would definitely be something to look out for.

Apparently, while shooting for the scene, Kareena got uncomfortable and felt extremely awkward kissing an actor who was once her sister’s co-star. She probably felt that way because she’s committed to boyfriend Saif. But Akshay’s committed to Twinkle too, right? Anyway, she finally fought her awkward feeling and kissed like a thorough professional. Ha! I think that sounded pretty bad. What I meant was that Kareena and Akshay finally kissed as it was a very important scene in the film and they had to do their job.

Now don’t go looking for the trailers to find that kissing scene! You’ll see it in the film. That and much more! Promise!

Dus Ka Dum has been a popular show since day one; especially since Salman Khan is hosting it. If you remember, last year there was tough competition between Shahrukh’s Paanchvi Pass and Salman’s Dus Ka Dum. But this year has been an all new ball game. I’m sure you’ve been reading a lot on the controversial show Dus Ka Dum since the past few weeks. If you notice, there’s been something or the other in the news about the show or Salman every single day! Here’s a brief of the entire “Dus Ka Dum-in-the-news” promotion:

• It all started with Salman being ok with the reduced rates for the show because of recession and how he’s co-operating with the producers just because of the attachment he has with the show.

• Then it went on to how the first episode was supposed to be airing on 25th May, but since Salman has other priorities and didn’t turn up for shoots, the producers were troubled and had no choice but to change the date of the first show from 25th May to 30th May 2009.

• Then Karishma and Kareena Kapoor are going to be in the first episode. Apparently they don’t appear in shows together but just for Sallu, they’ve agreed to be a part of Dus Ka Dum.Yeah right!

• And the latest one is about Mallika Sherawat who is charging a whopping 50 lakhs for one episode. I read that because of some fight that she and Salman had, she wasn’t ready to be on the show in season 1. But since they patched up, she was willing to appear on the show in this season, but at a price. Ha! So much for the fake “I will give the money to charity” rants!

So yeah, this is the gossip so far. Keep coming back for more!

Of late, the ex-flames Yuvraj Singh and Kim Sharma have constantly been in touch with each other all over again via SMSes and phone calls. It is reliably learnt that the actress has now flown to South Africa to spend time with the Kings XI Punjab skipper. Wow now thats news, isnt it?

He is keen to have Kim back in his life. As a result, he first took the initiative to get in touch with her again by sending her a text message over a month back. Yuvi and Kim were a couple about four years ago. Though they were serious about each other then and there was also talk of marriage, buzz was that Yuvi’s mother Shabnam did not approve of having an actress bahu. For a while, they kept the relationship alive, until Kim finally called it quits.

Buzz is that the cricketer pursued her even after they broke off with SMSes, to which she paid no heed. But from what i remember is that yuvi completely ignored kim and the poor girlie was left heart broken, but you know how the media is. The truth is Yuvi could never outgrow Kim. He’s tried to woo her back several times in the last few months, but she kept away.

Yuvraj’s mother has also given the green signal to her son renewing his relationship with Kim. She is keen that her son settle down now. Yuvi is hoping Kim and he spend time together and hopefully, that the sparks fly again soon!!!

The Aamir Khan starrer film Raakh is all set to be re-released this June… after 20 years! Believe it or not, this movie had released in 1989 when no one knew who Aamir Khan was. Not many people watched it; but those who did, loved it.

Raakh was Aamir’s second film which went completely unnoticed. It’s was shot like a home video to create impact and that was probably a new technique of film making those days. But it was a dark film, and for a new actor to do something like that, is commendable truly. In fact, many of the cast and crew in this film were newcomers. Santosh Sivan, Pankaj Kapur, Supriya Pathak, Aamir Khan and the makers of this film made it reach great heights by winning 4 National awards!

Take a look at the trailer of the film and decide whether you would like to watch it. I surely will. It releases on June 12th.

It feels like summer has been going on forever now! Its so freakin’ hot! So what can one do to beat the heat? Here are 10 cool options to get rid of that irky feeling and walk out with a sunny smile!

1. Carry dry ice with you and make sure you dab it on your face and wherever you may like to.

2. Wear skimpier clothes, so that no one sees the sweat patches under your arms and there’s no harm in looking sexy!

3. Use that powder which Shahrukh Khan promotes saying, “Thanda thanda cool cool” (See if it really feels cool)

4. When we were in school we were taught that the land is hot in the day time and the water is cooler… So go to GOA, the land of beaches and chill in the cool water or maybe in some swimming pool close to home!

5. Remember ‘Thanda matlab…’? Yeah so you know which cool drink to have and cool off!

6. Go to a hill station if you’re not bound to work! Trust me, it’s the best thing to do! That’s the perfect bahana to get the perfect vacation!

7. Switch on the AC if you’re at home or if the bills don’t permit you to, tapko at your friend’s place (who has an AC at home) and chill!

8. Take your girlfriend/ boyfriend for “cold” coffee.

9. Pamper yourself with a cool bubble bath after emptying a full ice tray. I’m not saying you need to do that alone!

10. Go watch movies back2back at a theatre nearby. AC hai, popcorn hai, aur cold drinks bhi hai. Just get some cool company!

Hrithik Roshan’s upcoming flick Kites has been in the news for the most controversial reasons, all revolving around him having a so called affair with his Mexican co-star Barbara Mori.

The Controversy over their steamy kissing and sex scenes in the film were not enough that the duo seem to have thrown caution to the wind all over again.

The twosome were spotted dining in close comfort at the Croisette restaurant in Cannes after the Kites press conference.

Their chairs were too close for comfort and the two seemed to be very engrossed into each other. Considering that it is cold in Cannes, the duo seemed to be giving each other a lot of warmth i think.

Barbara and Hrithik also attended the India Party thrown by Vijay Mallya on a luxury yacht. Hand-in-hand, they looked pretty cosy, even as papa Roshan walked a discreet two steps behind.

It is learnt that Hrithik did not accompany his dad and Kites director Anurag Basu when they flew into Cannes. Hrithik left a day later and without biwi Sussanne.

Now, if there’s anyone who can clear these rumours is only Suzzane Khan. Because from where i see, there is lots of fire giving light to the so called rumours!!!

Kareena Kapoor, who will be playing the step mother in Karan Johar’s next is pretty kicked about it; more so because she will be acting with Kajol, her favourite actress. The film is a copy of the Hollywood Blockbuster ‘Step Mom‘ starring Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts. In this Bollywood remake, Kajol plays the mom and Kareena, the step mom.

Waise, I just realised that she’s going to be a step mom in real life too. As we know, Saif has 2 kids from Amrita Singh. Now that Bebo’s the bride-to-be, the kids will have a step mom.

She’s getting her hair cut short to bring in a never-seen-before change in her look and also let her fans see her in a new hot avataar. Her character in the film is young, and full of zest and qutie unlike Kajol’s who is a dying mother of 2. Karan’s definitely chosen the right cast for his film. As Kareena probably knows how it is to be a step mom to Saif’s children, I’m sure she’ll be able to depict it beautifully on screen as well.

Actress Freida Pinto has made a name for herself with Slumdog Millionaire, but isn’t a happy lady at the moment. The gorgeous diva is upset with her bold pictures being circulated all over the internet, which she had shot for a Calender few years ago.

If this wasn’t enough, Freida was stunned to find a picture of her while stepping out of a portable toilet during the shooting of Julian Schnabel’s Miral. The actress is paying a heavy price for being famous as even her private moments with her boyfriend Dev Patel was been captured in a camera and posted on the internet.

But Frieda should understand that a celebrity has to go through all this and shouldn’t get upset. What say Freida whats the miff about, isnt it all about the publicity by the end of it.

Ok I’m not sure whether the media has no other work or if it’s just all true. We know that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been associated with L’Oreal Paris since a long time. But now Sonam Kapoor is the new face and no, that does not mean Ash will no longer be the brand ambassador. Sonam Kapoor is the new kid on the block whose fashion and style statement can give a complex to many heroines. She does deserve this endorsement as people would look at her and go, “Wow”! C’mon! She’s charming and beautiful.

So, the thing is that at first, Aishwarya and Sonam were both supposed to walk the red carpet at Cannes. But Ex Miss World, a.k.a Ash, did not want to share the spotlight with anyone, and so Sonam Kapoor was asked to sit back at home. Sad huh?! I wonder why she hates her so much!

Well, as I said earlier, I don’t know how true this is. I’m just sharing the gossip with you guys!
