There is a time when everybody is a rookie. They don’t know what to do, and they don’t know how to go about things and are extremely guarded about themselves. Actor Minissha Lamba says that her forthcoming film portrays her in exactly that light – a newcomer thrown into a fashion show and someone who doesn’t have a clue about what to do.

“My circumstances throw me into a beauty pageant and I don’t know what to do in it. It’s like a local beauty pageant where I have to walk the ramp to save the situation. I just do an extempore catwalk. I think that is one of the most interesting parts of the film,” says Minissha about her upcoming film Hum, Tum Shabana that also stars Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor. The actor says that it is an out-and-out comedy film which revolves around the three characters in the film. More

SRK’s upcoming film RA.ONE might have generated a lot of interest but there are few important people in his life who are not very impressed by his act yet and the superstar is trying too hard to just do that.

SRK admits that one of the persons he is trying hard to impress is his son Aryan. So far Aryan has not shown the kind of excitement that SRK was looking for. Says the actor, “I think I need to understand that today’s kids don’t show excitement the way I do or expect someone to do. I may overact while reacting but my son would just be casual about it. Now, I am trying to impress him in order to get some excited reaction from him for my film RA.ONE.”

SRK admits that RA.ONE is a total family entertainer and the film will take a closer look at today’s reality where gadgets are like family members in the household. Source

Though she and Mithun had been cordial with each other during the days spent on HOUSEFULL 2, to Asin’s surprise, the veteran actor knew everything about her work not just in Bollywood but also down South. Moreover it was also the Tamil factor that came in handy because due to his business in Ooty, Mithun knew the language quite well. Soon, Asin and Mithun found themselves interacting in Tamil and become much more familiar with each other.

The source continues, ‘He seemed to know everything about Asin’s career history and had apparently seen quite a few of her Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films. He pointed out nuances of some of her work from the past and was also quite kind with his compliments.’

This isn’t all as the veteran actor also made an observation about her stint with actors belonging to varied age groups. He felt that Asin came with just the right personality that allowed her to be paired opposite younger as well as relatively senior heroes. More

Speaking about Ajay Devgn, John says, ‘Ajay Devgn is one of the best action heroes in town. The only problem is that Ajay is an underrated action hero.

Juhi Chawla is probably regreting her outburst to a newspaper recently when she claimed that Shah Rukh Khan did ‘too little too late,’ referring to his acknowledgment of her brother Bobby Chawla, who has been in a state of coma in hospital for a long time, at the music launch of Ra.One. Chawla was the CEO of SRK’s production house Red Chillies Entertainment, and had helped the actor set it up.

At a recent event, the actress claimed the outburst was the result of emotions she has been carrying it for a while now. “The other day I was coming back from (photographer) Gautam Rajadhyaksha’s condolence meet when the media asked what I thought of him (Shah Rukh Khan). In that emotional state, I said why do we talk about a person when he is not around? How many times have we said how much person means to us when that person is around? The whole thing was blown out of proportion by the media. There’s nothing like ‘Juhi lashes out at SRK.’” More
