Is Lara Dutta indebted to Kelly Dorji?

 

Lara Dutta is looking stunning these days.

Get into conversation with her and she gracefully unveils her very beautiful mind, too. All spiritual, and completely into yoga and meditation, it’s ironic that she was embracing these sciences that taught you to love more when she was falling out of love! “You don’t fall out of love,” she explains, “You’re given certain relationships in your life, and an immense amount of spiritual growth happens through them. I’ll always be indebted to the relationship that I was in, and to the person who was in the relationship with me, because both of us learnt life’s most valuable lessons in the period of time that we were together.”

So though Dutta hasn’t fallen out of love, she has fallen in love all over again! And no, we aren’t going to ask for any more philo-lessons on pyar-vyar...

Salman V/S Katrina… the battle begins!

Well, if the headline prompted you of an ‘apparent’ lover’s tiff between Bollywood’s one of the most popular couples Sallu-Kats and that you are now reading this story to get a juicy gossip on the same, we regret our word usage!

We have no beans to spill on their romantic liaison, or forged stories to tell on their ‘trouble in paraside’ nor Indiatimes has ever chosen to create any sort of cheap controversy for a few clicks (in internet lingo it is equivalent to TRP’s)

To cut the long story short, we at Indiatimes Movies mean business and that is exactly what we are reporting about!

Katrina Kaif who is all set to perform at JW Marriott in Mumbai for the forthcoming new year’s eve for a whopping one crore this year is all set to battle it out with beau Salman, as he will be performing at Sahara Star, another five star hotel on the same day according to our sources.

“Salman has been in talks with Sahara Star as they had approached him to perform for the New Year’s Eve and the money that they are offering him is not out as yet. Salman will be joined by Arbaaz , Sohail and Malaika”, revealed our source.

We spoke to Katrina’s business manager Sandhya to get a clearer picture and she said, “I am not aware about Salman but yes Katrina is performing at JW. Bosco is choreographing her act which will have few songs of hers. Since both Katrina and Bosco are in Goa to shoot for Rajkumar Santoshi’s film ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gajab kahani’ the meeting of the selection of songs for her act has not yet happened. It will only happen when she back from Goa in a few days as she will be back to Mumbai to promote Yuvvraaj soon.”

When probed about the huge money that Katrina has asked for the show Sandhya retorted, “I am not aware of it. Also the duration for the show is not exactly known but last year Bipasha performed on two songs for few minutes, Katrina cannot perform for an hour. Also as far Katrina shuttling to another venue to perform in another show is concerned, the event organizers itself wont like it. There is no question of Katrina willing or not willing to share the stage with anyone (Salman).”

When we spoke to Salman’s spokesperson Alok Mathur he replied, “Nothing has been confirmed about the show as yet. The talks might be on.” However, when we messaged Malaika Arora Khan about the same she almost confirmed the news saying, “I am not performing at that event but Arbaaz might.”

Last year it was Rakhi who outsold Bipasha and made more profit for Sahara inspite of the hotel charging more than JW for Bipasha! We wonder what will happen this year!

Shilpa injured, but not out of action

 

Shilpa Shetty’s got a wrist in plaster. She was rendered hors de combat while practising cartwheels for the new action film she is planning to produce that has been written by Mushtaq Sheikh.

“Either that, or I’ve torn a ligament because of the wear and tear of weight training,” rued the actress with the hour-glass figure. She’s been told to take it easy at least for three months. “So I can’t shoot for the film,” added Shilpa, regretting that her ambitious multi-starrer has to be on hold. But, undaunted, Shilpa has picked up all the scripts at hand and is reading them so that she can start working.

“It will have to be a script which is not complicated, less painful and not a multi-starrer,” admitted the actress.
As a first time producer, she realises a multi-starrer might not be the best way to go. “I wouldn’t get dates from the actors. It’s quite a difficult task. I kept other projects on hold because of my film. I realised that I had turned more of a producer and less of an actress. So now I’m going to turn that around and complete the films I’ve signed,” said Shilpa.

Looking at the bright side, she agreed that it was good thing that her mega budget film was hold during this period of recession. “Due to the global meltdown, the financiers want to cut down on costs which is not possible,” said the actress.

So, what does Shilpa Shetty intend to do now? “I’ll wear a long-sleeved dress to camouflage the plaster on my wrist while doing Big Boss for Colours. And a fat kada when shooting for Sunny Deol’s The Man,” said the actress, making light of her problems.
