Bhai (as Salman is known in the industry) befriended Bhatt Jr during his stay in the Bigg Boss house, has now taken him under his wing. Sallu has even begun to advise Rahul on his life and career.

Get lean

Apparently, Khan feels that Rahul needs to shed his beefy look that doesn't quite match his vulnerable face. The older actor also believes that an actioner would be the best launch vehicle for the Bhatt boy.

Wouldn't working in his own home production be a better deal? Our source avers, "Neither Bhatt Saab nor his son was comfortable with the idea.

It's just not in the boy's personality to piggyride on his father's name. He is fighting hard to shrug off the label of just being his father's son."

Deepika and Imran give 5 ways to break up with your lover



Deepika Padukone's 5 ways to be friends with your Ex and...

Deepika Padukone's character in Break Ke Baad is of a girl who breaks up with a guy and then patches up with him. Off screen, the actress has gone through a break-up with Ranbir Kapoor and believes ex-boyfriends can still be friends. Here are her top five tips on how to get back with your ex.

1 I think the girl should gift her ex a diamond solitaire. Nothing says 'I am serious' like a diamond ring. They say diamonds are a girl's best friends, but the same holds true for a guy. I am sure that will win him over.

2 Do something nice for the ex. Like plan a trip for your ex and send him to Russia with his buddies. It's every guy's dream destination what with all the booze and the babes. Would be a nice way of telling him to have one last fling then 'come back and get serious with me'.

3 This one is edgy. Tell your guy that he reminds you of your father. A dad stands for someone who loves you, protects you and takes care of you. That ought to flatter him and woo him over.

"This isn't something new that Akshay has done though", informs a highly placed source, "In each of his productions even earlier on, Akshay has always distributed a bonus in the tune of 10-20-30 lakhs to the workers. These are generally people like spot boys, light boys, cook etc. who otherwise get ignored. Though the prominent crew members get hefty pay cheques, these people don't. Akshay really feels for them and wants to see them happy after the hard work they have put in the making of the film."

Deepika refused Vishal Bharadwaj due to dates problems


Deepika Padukone admits that she was supposed to do Vishal Bharadwaj's film -- but couldn't because of the dates problems.

"As far as Vishal's film is concerned, yes I was meant to do it but sometimes things don't work out. The dates got pushed and didn't fall into my schedule. Sometimes these things happen," Deepika told.

Apparently Bharadwaj is miffed with Deepika for not doing his project and the young actress feels that while accepting an offer an actor has to consider other logistics apart from the script.

"When actors decide to do a film, it's not only the scrip, other logistics also need to fall in place," said the actress who is not willing to say much on the subject.

"I don't want to discuss it too much because it's not right for me to talk about a film that I am not part of. I have a lot of respect for Vishal and I would love to work with him, unfortunately this one didn't work out," said Deepika.

Katrina's 'Sheila Ki Jawani' is likely to be a huge hit


You have reasons more than one to look forward to the release of Tees Maar Khan. While the Akshay Kumar – Katrina Kaif jodi is expected to set the box office collections rolling, the audio track will also not disappoint for sure and will add crores to the coffers of Farah Khan.

Well ‘Sheila ki Jawani’ is the most talked about track in the entire audio album of Tees Maar Khan primarily because of the fact that the song will showcase actress Katrina Kaif in an avatar very different from what we have seen earlier.

And if you do not like watching Katrina Kaif gyrating to the peppy number, you can safely make your own dance moves as Sunidhi Chauhan belts out the track in her trademark brilliant voice. ‘Sheila ki Jawani’ is being touted as one of the biggest hits on the DJ table all across India.

Accompanying Sunidhi Chauhan in her rendition of ‘Sheila ki Jawani’ is music composer of Tees Maar Khan, Vishal Dadlani. And critics are of the opinion that both have done a brilliant job in churning out a very lively track for the film. The song will also come with a remixed version available in the audio album of Tees Maar Khan.

Shweta, Sara, Ali and Manoj used to ill treat me: Dolly


So what if actress Dolly Bindra was thrown out of Colors' reality show "Bigg Boss 4" for being a troublemaker? She is ready to go back to the show as she had a rocking time there.

"Oh yes! I will go back inside for sure if the channel asks me to. I have had a rocking time inside," Dolly told on phone from Mumbai.

As soon as the actress entered the "Bigg Boss" house, she spelt controversy. An argument a day seemed to be the staple in the house as she picked on personal issues of other housemates, especially actress Shweta Tiwari and Ashmit Patel.

In fact, she was asked to leave the show soon after an argument between her and actor Sameer Soni turned ugly. But Dolly says all the fights were justified.

"Since I entered midway, I had seen a few episodes of the show and had an idea of the scheming and plotting inside the house. I knew all those people who had put on an artificial behaviour, and I just went and spoke the truth. There was nothing wrong in that," said Dolly, who abused and raised her voice many times on the show.

Ekta Kapoor and Prateik Babbar's ugly encounter



The actor refused to acknowledge the producer, leaving it to his aunt to make nice

The film industry is a small place. Everyone knows everyone. Whenever one meets the other, hugs and backslaps are essential even filmi enemies greet each other like that.

Even when two people from B-Town who haven't been introduced to each other, cross paths, smiles and hellos are exchanged.

On a recent flight from Mumbai to New York, Ekta Kapoor and Prateik Babbar were seated a few seats away from each other. They even saw each other in the airport before boarding, as well as in the first class lounge.

But no smiles or hellos were exchanged. Usually, the newcomer makes the first move towards the senior, but the Babbar boy refused to acknowledge the Balaji big boss, and she too looked through him.
