Neha Dhupia has successfully managed to place herself in the league of hot actors this year! Her Ponds ad with Saif Ali Khan and Priyanka Chopra has been appreciated and so was her bikini shoot for a magazine! Neha was also the only Indian actress who Pierce Brosnan had chosen to be a Bond Girl, had he been the casting director of 007, when he was in India!
2008 seems lucky for Neha as she is all set to star opposite Akshay Kumar along with Katrina Kaif in Singh is Kinng. “I play a gangster-girl in the film and the role is very interesting”, said Neha. After Singh is Kinng, Neha will be seen in a thriller called Maharathi, where she will be seen with ace actors like Paresh Rawal, Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri.
But its not just serious roles that she will be seen doing! She will also be seen in Mukta Arts’ light hearted comedy Paying Guest, where she will be seen working with theatre actor Paritosh Painter. Raat Gayi Baat Gayi will be another fun film which the actor is looking forward to as it has Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Shorey in it to give her company.
“I am really looking forward to all my films and am sure people will like them”, said Neha.
With Neha boldly trying out all different genres we wish her all the best...

If you think going by her simple image that her mega collection of DVDs must be majorly of mushy romantic films or comedies then you are mistaken. Soha actually has this huge collection of DVDs consisting only of Hollywood creepy horror flicks and thrillers.”

Bipasha Basu : Bipasha refused to seduce Ranbir
Even being bold has its limits. And for the sultry Bipasha Basu the line seems to be Ranbir Kapoor. The actress who has many steamy seductive scenes to her name starting from Jism to the recent Race, has refused to perform a 'Mrs Robinson' inspired seduction scene with the young actor, reports Mumbai Mirror.
Bachna Ae Haseeno is said to be inspired by The Graduate directed by Mark Nichols and Alfie directed by Charles Shyer. And in both of these films we have had steamy older women seducing younger boys. Bipasha plays Radhika in Bachna... a girl who is bold enough to go that extra mile in passion. She thus was supposed to don the combined hat of Anne Bancroft (The Graduate) and Susan Sarandon (Alfie) and play the sexy seductress.
According to a source, "Bipasha was not told about the scene when she'd signed the film. She thought it was not a part of the original script and there was no real necessity to go ahead with it."
Though the director Siddharth Anand tried to argue with Bips on that one, the actress refused to give in and finally the scene was not shot. Though initially Anand did feel bad, he soon calmed down and brushed aside the issue.
"Both Anand and YRF thought that more family audience will watch the film if the seduction scene was not there", added the source.
Siddharth Anand tried to elude the question when contacted, by simply saying, "There is no such scene in Bachna... It's a family film." And Bips too did not wish to talk about it. She simply said, "Well, I don't wish to clarify or justify anything. If there's a story, which I'd like to talk about, I will do so. But this is not one of those stories."
Looks like the matter has been really hushed down. Well, with or without a seduction scene, we hope the movie does work magic for YRF after the two early disasters this year.

N air said, “It is a make-believe story written by Urva Jurvekar. We are yet to finalize the title of the film but its working title is Ghost Ghost Na Raha . This romantic comedy has Rahul Bose, Esha Deol as the leading pair of the film. Om Puri is also part of it.”
Interestingly, Rahul dies in the first half of the movie and becomes a ghost. Rahul and Esha have interesting roles to play in the film. Pritam will render the music compositions. Shivam will commence the shooting from August 1 in Mumbai.

Meghna Naidu in awe of Akki
Item girl Meghna Naidu, who has just done some gruelling stunts for adventure game show Fear Factor-Khatron Ke Khiladi, says she's completely in awe of Bollywood action star Akshay Kumar, who hosts the series.
"Akshay was brilliant as a host. He was always there to push us. If any of us would get scared, he would talk to the person and motivate us," said Meghna.
"If we didn't do any stunt well, he would also scream at us. He was very encouraging and made us all laugh. He was a perfect host," said Meghna, best remembered for her moves in the music video Kaliyon ka chaman.
The American original Fear Factor was a game show that took reality shows to exciting highs.
The Indian version with Akshay is set to air on a new entertainment channel from July 21 and will be telecast on weekdays at 10 pm (local time).
The participants will be seen jumping from choppers, facing fires and hanging from tall buildings.
The series will have 13 female celebrities, including Sonali Kulkarni, Yana Gupta, Pooja Bedi, Aditi Gowitrikar and Vidya Malavde, fight it out with one another till only one remains in the show.
Meghna, who was in the capital for the launch of the channel, admitted that the stunts were indeed scary.
"All the stunts on the show were such that normally a person can't do. I would have not got such a chance in a lifetime.
"My mother was not even allowing me to take part in the show as I am very accident-prone and she was scared. But it was my dad who pushed me into it," she said.
Apart from Khatron Ke Khiladi, Meghna is busy with a film and a music video. Though she did not divulge details about the movie, she said the music video would be released in the next two months.
Meghna forayed into Hindi films in 2004 with the controversial film Hawas and has since been typecast in steamy roles. But the actress says she is not at all like her on-screen image in real life.
And Meghna, who once dated hotelier Raj Shetty, says she is very much single right now.

Vidya gets it wrong yet again
It’s a story that has been told umpteen times, but apparently Vidya Balan is still not getting the message.
Vidya Balan is not getting the semantics of dressing right. To gauge public reaction to her film Kismat Konnection, the actress caught an afternoon show in a Mumbai suburban multiplex. While she was applauded for her acting, it was her pairing with a much younger looking Shahid and her clothes that received a lot of flak.
With her classical face and Indian body structure, Vidya should stick to sarees or casual attire, designers opine. But is Vidya listening?

Mallika Sherawat : Maan Gaye Mallika Sherawat
There are some celebs whose names provoke instant reactions. One such is Mallika Sherawat—loved and hated for her guts. She’s nonchalant about shedding clothes to be in the news—though now, after more than 15 films, people have accepted that she’s got strong screen presence and talent as well.
She’s earning big bucks, too. With a fee of Rs 1.5 crore for her 10-minute role in Aaap Ka Suroor and Rs 3.5 crore for a CD endorsement deal, she’s paving the way for actresses to demand their much-due fat pay cheques. After disappearing from the scene for a bit, she’s now back with this week’s Ugly aur Pagli and the soon-to-be-released Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam.

What’s Cooking between Shahid and Kareena?
Shahid and Kareena have been one of the most talked about couples in recent times and even after their break-up they continue to make news.
Looks like Saif Ali Khan is getting the sharp end of every rod these days. Personally and professionally, he seems to be in a big mess!
Shahid and Kareena were in a relationship for almost three years, before Shahid decided to break up.
It was also believed that Kareena had literally begged him to reconsider his decision, but to no avail. She found it extremely difficult to get over him and the relationship for a long time.
Things of course took a rapid turn when Saif came into her life. But, looks like Kareena just can‘t get Shahid out of her life.
This dame seems to be suffering from a big time Shahid hangover.
Recently, a special screening of ‘Kismet Konnection‘ was held at the Yash Raj studios. A lot of prominent names were present at the screening, but Kareena was spotted sneaking in very surreptitiously.
Obviously, Saif was nowhere around to be seen!
Probably, she wanted to check out the chemistry between Vidya Balan and Shahid. After all, there were rumours about their link-up.
Looking at the way Saif‘s professional life is going; chances are she won‘t stick around with him for long.
After all, she‘s one of the most high profile actresses right now.
Although, Kareena really thinks that such clandestine drool sessions can really dent her reputation!
