My first red carpet experience was in the year 2007, when my first film Gangster released. I was called for one of the award functions in Dubai. I was wearing a red Moschino dress.

It was the first designer dress that I purchased especially for the occasion. When it comes to fashion, I love is the retro Hollywood look - big curls, dark lipstick and winged eyeliner.

Expensive Refusal: Madhuri asked to leave VIP lounge at Bhopal airport

After being refused a photo with her, an airport official told Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit to leave the premises

Madhuri Dixit Nene learnt that refusing to pose for photographs with die-hard fans could have uncomfortable repercussions. She was asked to leave the VIP lounge at Bhopal airport after she refused to click pictures with an airport official on Thursday evening.

The actress and film producer Anubhav Sinha were in Bhopal on a tour to promote their upcoming flick Gulab Gang. After fulfilling their commitments, the two were at the airport to return to Mumbai, when the incident occurred. Sinha said, `How can someone do such a thing to a woman? It is completely unfair to her.`

He said, `An official walked up to us and escorted us to the VIP lounge. We weren't even going there. He then asked Madhuri for a photograph. Madhuri's manager, Minaxi, refused, saying that Madhuri was very tired. The man then got angry and asked us to leave the lounge immediately.`

Both Sinha and Madhuri left the lounge. `Fortunately, it was time for our flight, but what happened was completely uncalled for. People don't understand that stars are humans too, and you can't expect them to behave the way you want. She was tired after the hectic day we had,` Sinha said, adding, `I asked him to give us his name but he refused to speak to us after that.` Madhuri and her manager, Minaxi, were unavailable for comment.

Sunny side down! Censors want Sunny Leone's cle@vage blurred in song

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) recently asked the producers of Ragini MMS2 to blur out actress Sunny Leone's cleavage in the song Chaar Botal Vodka that also features singer Yo Yo Honey Singh. A source from CBFC says, `When they approached us with the song, we told them in a straightforward fashion that the song will be certified for adult viewing only. This is because it has a lot of skin show and the camera keeps zooming in at Sunny's cleavage.

So we asked them to blur out the cleavage scenes.` It seems that the film's producers have given in to CBFC's demands; the source says that CBFC has now given the song a U/A certificate. However, another source - a unit member - says that audiences can watch the unblurred version of the song online. `They have blurred cleavage scenes but this has been done only for television.`

Another industry insider says that showing cleavage onscreen is commonplace these days.

`Top actresses are known to bare their cleavage all the time and a recently released film was in the news thanks to its lead actress who wore a low neck blouse. Sunny is being singled out because of her past,` says this source.
