Shahid Kapoor thinks he and Kareena were a flop pair..

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor who is waiting with bated breath for the release of his latest film Haider, recently had some interesting things to say about his onscreen chemistry with ex-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor.

The Shahid-Kareena starrer Jab We Met, which will complete seven years next month went on to become the biggest blockbusters of the year 2007, however Shahid confessed that they were not really expecting such a monumental response from the audience.

While speaking to a leading daily, Shahid revealed that the low expectations from the film had to do with Shahid and Kareena's spate of bad luck as co-stars in previous films such as Fida (2004), 36 China Town (2006) and Chup Chup Ke (2006), none of which did wonders at the box office.

Shahid went on to say that the duo were indeed what could be termed as a 'flop pair' due to their unsuccessful collaborations. So he was surprised when people enjoyed watching them together in the epic rom-com Jab We Met.

Shahid apparently got a bit nostaltic thinking about the cult status that the film has recieved now, however he still gushes about the fact that it went on to become such a big hit.

Wonder what Bebo has to say about this!

Salman Khan: Aamir Khan Has Sold His Transistor, Has an iPod Now

If Salman Khan's latest prediction is to come true, then the transistor in Aamir Khan's next PK poster might be replaced with an iPod.

Salman told the press at a recent conference for Bigg Boss 8 that, "Main PeeKay bolunga. Aamir is now roaming with iPod. He has sold his transistor." Some weeks ago, Aamir had dared Salman to drop his clothes, just as he had for the first PK poster. "Salman wore the Dhoom: 3 hat for me in Bigg Boss, so now I want to see if he does this. Let's see if he can do this, he has removed his shirt, now can he remove his pants. I want to test Salman's friendship," Aamir had told news agency PTI then.

Aamir's almost-nude appearance for PK last month left a reeling country in its wake.

At the Bigg Boss event, Salman also told the press that frenemy Shah Rukh Khan and Team Happy New Year would appear on the reality show.

Deepika Padukone angry after daily publishes story on her dress -

The usually calm and composed Deepika Padukone has come up in arms against a leading daily which had apparently published a rather demeaning piece of news about her dressing at an event.

Deepika Padukone had worn a low cut dress designed by Anamika Khanna for the trailer of launch of ‘Chennai Express’ last year. This dress had come under the daily’s scanner for the low cut design. The daily, on Sunday morning, reframed and retweeted the photo-story.
When Deepika read the tweet followed by a picture gallery of similar dressing faux-pas, she lost her calm and gave the news portal a befitting reply.

The fans of the actress have also come out in her support. At the time of filing this article, that’s within 60 minutes of Deepika’s tweet, there were almost 1550 retweets. They are also asking the daily for a response to this. Deepika Padukone, with a string of hits last year and the recently released ‘Finding Fanny’ doing quite well at the box office, has most certainly carved her own niche in the industry.

 With the love pouring on for her movies, there will be, surely, no dearth of support for the step she took today. Later, ‘Finding Fanny’ director Homi Adajania also tweeted in support and registered his anger. -
