Ranbir Kapoor must be a happy man these days. Not only has he received rave reviews for his performance but also seems to be working hard at his next release Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani also starring Katrina Kaif.

Jay Shewakramani, creative producer for APKGK says “Ranbir is a thorough professional, he was promoting Wake Up Sid the whole day, and was going to join us for APKGK’s music release at 6pm and then after shoot the music video, which we had told him would be done in 3 hrs, but due to some reasons such as the use of a motion control camera we started shooting at around 8.30pm which wrapped up only by the next day at 6am in the morning. However Ranbir did not complain even once, in fact, he kept the mood upbeat as everyone was working round the clock, he was totally focused into making a great music video, which he knew would be good for the film, with this kind of hard work and dedication there is no stopping him from becoming a huge star.”

He also goes on to say “Before shooting the music video for APKGK Ranbir barely slept for 3 days as he had to fly down from Bhopal and after the shoot fly back to Bhopal. He is putting a lot of effort into promoting his films”. Source

Anthony D’Souza, the director of Blue isn’t short of words to praise his actors. He has even planned another film titled ‘Bond’ with Sanjay Dutt. And what about Akshay Kumar? Tony is quoted by a daily, “Akshay is the most unselfish, punctual, dedicated, uncomplicated actor I have ever met. Stories about his interference are a myth.”

So it was a delight working with Bollywood’s real stunt king; and what about the sexy Lara Dutta who didn’t even know how to swim before the shoot began. What was she going to do in India’s first underwater thriller? D’Souza salutes the babe for her devotion towards the film as Lara learned swimming within three months after which she swam with sharks and showed her hot bod in bikini. D’Souza’s good friend Zayed Khan was the perfect choice for the film.

But it was Katrina without whom the movie would have been incomplete. D’Souza is so impressed with her professionalism and punctuality that he calls her the female Akshay Kumar. Her special cameo role of seven minutes is not only crucial for the movies’ plot but is also the USP of the film. Source

Dressed in a `Being Human` sleeveless T-shirt and sporting a new look with fringes falling perfectly on her forehead, the actress looked as ravishing as ever.

“Wow! Salman! Salman!,” shouted Zinta and continued clapping till he left the ramp. It was not just for Salman, she also cheered for other celebrities like Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgan, Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Govinda, Sanjay Dutt, Katrina Kaif, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan with equal enthusiasm.

“I must tell you that my throat is already gone. I was so happy that all this shouting and cheering just happened. The show was all about being human and being together. It celebrated togetherness of the industry and this is what had me do all the shouting. But it is worth it,” Preity told reporters. Source

Twinkle Khanna is a bit different from her mother Dimple Kapadia as well as hubby Akshay Kumar.

“I am too shy to walk the ramp. I am not at all interested. All I like is to sit back and watch Akshay, my mom or my friends doing the honour. You will never see me walking the ramp,” Twinkle told at the inaugural show of HDIL India Couture Week that started here Monday.

“I am happy as an interior designer and that is something I am best at. I would like to stick to it,” she added.

Dressed in a fuchsia short dress, Twinkle looked gorgeous. Her presence at the event was due to her jewellery designer friend Farah Khan. “I am here to cheer for her. She is a friend and an excellent jewellery designer as well,” Twinkle said. Source

Bollywood babe Isha Koppikhar, who is hosting the wrestling reality show De Dhana Dhan, had a fun time shooting in South Africa. She recently met the King of Jungle at Johannesburg Lion Safari and also explored the wild life of South Africa.
Says Eesha, “It was such fun doing 100% De Dhana Dhan in South Africa. The warmth of the people can only be compared with that our people of India. I always wanted to visit South Africa also for its diverse wild life. Being an ardent animal lover, I was really looking forward to experience the wild life safari. So, at the first given opportunity, I just took off to visit the lion’s park at Johannesburg.”

“The experience was thrilling and endearing. Not only did I get a chance to see Lions up close in person, but I also got a chance to play with the cubs. It was an amazing experience playing with cubs. They pulled, scratched, even tried to bite… but it didn’t matter as I was so happy just to be there. I guess neither the cubs or I felt threatened in each other’s company. Like human babies, all that they wanted was fun and pampering. I just loved the way the cubs were being treated at the lion’s park. In a protected environment, they were so free. More

Till date people know only about Salman’s misbehavior with his leading and misleading ladies. But Kareena Kapoor has a different story to tell.

Says Kareena, “Salman has always been very protective. He has been there for me whenever I needed him. That’s partly to do with the fact that my sister Karisma is very close friends with Salman and also his favourite co-star.”

Every time Kareena shoots with Salman she feels super-protected and safe. Just how caring a co-star this Khan can be was proven to Kareena recent when they were shooting a romantic song on the Phi Phi Beach in Thailand for his home production Main Aurr Mrs Khanna.

This was the same location where Danny Boyle had shot The Beach with Leonardo Di Caprio. Source
