Led by Aditi, the unit folk started their trek from Potters Hill from where they descended through the groves to Chadwick Falls, followed by a walk through Sanog and Chamoh village and to the Glen valley from where they returned to the starting point.

'Intimate scenes' a 'Big No' for Meera

Actress Meera Chopra, seen in "Gang Of Ghosts", is not ready to shoot intimate scenes for the screen and she says she has restrained herself from taking up any film offers which require her to go beyond her comfort zone.

"I am not comfortable doing intimate scenes. I am not comfortable wearing very skimpy clothes, or wearing a bikini...so I have restrained myself from taking offers which have intimate scenes, and I hope I can stick to that," Meera said here.

Her cousin Priyanka Chopra has gone beyond being an actor and has explored her love for singing professionally. Even Meera has similar plans, but she hopes to open a fashion house in New York.

"It's my dream to open a fashion house in New York. I have been in New York, so I know how things work there. So apart from acting, if I do something, it definitely has to do with business," she said.

Post "Gang Of Ghosts", Meera says she is looking forward to read some interesting scripts. 

"I hope I will come across some good scripts. I'm just waiting for the right one. Besides that, I am also doing a film '1920 London', which is very unusual," she said.

I get traumatized dancing on screen: Ileana D'Cruz

Actress Ileana D' Cruz, who has grooved with Varun Dhawan in "Main Tera Hero", says dancing on screen makes her feel "traumatised".

"I get traumatized dancing on screen...I get so self-conscious as I am not a dancer. I get very nervous, but I can dance well the minute I am not stressed," Ileana said here in an interaction.

She says Varun made her feel "very comfortable" throughout the shooting of the film, which is directed by Varun's father David Dhawan.

Ileana, an established name in the southern film industry, made her Bollywood foray with "Barfi!", in which she shared screen space with Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra.

She says Priyanka is the "biggest workaholic" she has ever met.

"She works so much...almost 24X7. It's not that actresses can't be friends, it's just that we all are busy with our own work. I had a great time with Nargis (Fakhri) as well."
Ileana says she doesn't have any wish list or plans about her upcoming films.

"I don't look for stuff and I don't have a plan in place. All I can say is that I don't want to do anything insignificant."

"It's a director's perception...I even asked Anurag Basu why he chose me for 'Barfi!'. I loved the character that I played but I had a glamorous image down south. I think it's a director's perception and I got my chance with 'Barfi!."

The actress is currently busy promoting "Main Tera Hero".

'Ragini MMS 2' has gone beyond our expectations: Sunny Leone

Mumbai: Indo-Canadian adult star Sunny Leone is in seventh heaven. Her new film ‘Ragini MMS 2’ opened to a positive response that left her bewildered and stunned.

"To be quite honest, I didn`t expect this kind of a response. ‘Ragini MMS 2` has gone beyond all our expectations. That feels good. I feel I`ve been accepted by audiences. It`d a nice feeling," Sunny said before leaving for the US to be with her family.

‘Ragini MMS 2’, an Ekta Kapoor`s production ventured helmed by Bhushan Patel, came out March 21 and earned Rs.45.88 core in two weeks at the Indian box office.

In 2013, Sunny entered Indian showbiz with controversial reality show ‘Bigg Boss 5’ and graduated to film roles with erotic thriller ‘Jism 2’.

However, her entry was not taken lightly by the moral police who reportedly campaigning against her presence in Bollywood, but she is not overly perturbed or hurt by the attack by the moral police.

"Hurt would be a strong words. But yes, I am surprised by how vehement the naysayers are in their opposition. I have nothing against them. But I want them to know I am working hard to make a career, just like everyone else in every profession. And `Ragini...` is the answer to all those who thought I could do only one thing."

The "one thing" is a sportingly self-deprecatory reference to her past history as a adult-content star that Sunny is not denying.

"Everyone has a past. We all grow from one level to another. I don`t understand why it is so difficult for some people to accept that I`ve made a natural progression from one phase in my life to another.

"Now I`m working very hard on my career as a Bollywood actress, though I am a long way from getting a hang of it. I only wish some elements would be more open-minded about my intentions."

Sunny`s next level is her language.

She said: "Did I sound like I had dubbed for myself in `Ragini MMS 2`? Congratulate the girl who dubbed for me. She made a very honest effort to sound like me.

"I did want to dub my own lines in `Ragini...`, but there were too many things happening at the same time. We all took a call that it was best to let it go and to let someone more skilled with the Hindi handle my lines."

She promises to dub in her own voice in her next film.

"In Deepak Tijori`s `Tina & Lolo`, you will hear me speak in my own voice. I promise you my Hindi would be acceptable. It is very important for me to keep growing. I am constantly working towards improving myself. The effort shows in `Ragini MMS 2`, I think," she said.

However, the actress is comfortable in the Bollywood environment.

"Mumbai and Bollywood are my new home. I have my own residence, my own car and my own staff in Mumbai. Now when I go to the US, I don`t feel I am going `home`. It`s like I`m going for a holiday and I`ll be back home in no time at all."

"I feel we need to celebrate a success of this magnitude. How to celebrate, I`ll decide when I am back from the US. But I have to confess I am not much of a party goer. You will hardly ever find me at parties in Bollywood. So far I`ve been too busy working on improving myself to bother with interacting with people. Maybe after my Hindi I will work on improving my social skills," she said.
