The TV Czarina, the head of Balaji Telefilms, Ekta Kapoor is now-a-days searching for an eligible bachelor. Ekta is 36 years old and reports say that, her family is getting worried about her marriage.

Sanjay Dutt faces non-bailable warrant against him
Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt again finds himself in the arms of law. The reason this time is the non-bailable warrant issued in his name. The warrant has been issued by the Judicial Magistrate Krishna Kumar from a local court in Uttar Pradesh. The reason for the warrant is the ‘provocative utterances’ made during the general elections in India in 2009.
The Judicial Magistrate has ordered to present the actor in the court on July 8 this year. It is but obvious that Sanjay Dutt faces an imminent arrest in the near future. The orders from the Magistrate came after one Vijay Shankar Yadav, made charges against Sanjay Dutt for not acting in accordance with the code of conduct during the election period.
The FIR mentioned that the speeches were made to gain the popularity of the Muslim voters in Mau, in Uttar Pradesh.
Sanjay Dutt had been charged on various occasions in the past. The first of the incidents dates back to the 1993 Mumbai blasts.
No cell phones on sets of Dirty Pictures: Ekta Kapoor
Directors and producers are now-a-days careful of not revealing the new looks of their protagonist. Ekta Kapoor is taking care of her forthcoming film Dirty Pictures in the same way. She has totally banned the presence of cell phones on the sets of the film. She wants to keep it a secret and the curiosity of the fans alive by not disclosing the looks of Vidya Balan.
Vidya Balan is playing the role of the sex bomb Silk Smitha. Ekta wants Vidya’s looks to be a mystery till the very end. She does not want to become a Karan Johar. Karan Johar had tried to keep the character of Hrithik Roshan under the wraps. However, the looks finally got leaked.
Keeping this example before her, Ekta is all but strict about Vidya Balan’s character of Silk Smitha being a mystery until the very end. She is so particular about it that, even the visitors are asked to leave their cell phones behind and only then enter.
It would be surprising to know that even the actors and the crew and the staff members have also been ‘warned’ to do away with their cell phones before coming on the sets.
Hackers eye X Factor judge Sonu Nigam’s email
Hacking is not new for anyone now. The X Factor judge Sonu Nigam is the latest celebrity victim whose email account had got hacked. It is not only the account that was hacked (only for fun?). What is the use of hacking such a celebrity’s account if no mails are sent?
It exactly happened in the same way. Whoever was on the singer’s list all got an e-mail. Well, they were not just mails, but are known to be filled with some sort of abuse in it. Now, what exactly were the abusive contents, has not been made public by Sonu yet.
It is understood that even those people were sent the mails with whom Sonu Nigam had not contacted for a period of about six to eight years. When Sonu came to know this, he was obviously shocked.
What is more shocking is that the mails were circulated when Sonu was busy shooting for the show. It is but natural that it was not he who was sending the mails. No wonder, Sonu apologized to all who had got the mails (supposedly by him); though it was clear it was not he who sent them.
Fortunately enough, Sonu has got by the control over his account. He has made the necessary changes in the password and the security information. To be on the safer side, he is pondering over officially informing the cyber cell of the Mumbai police.

Actress Nagma denies the Bigg Boss 5 offer
Bollywood actress Nagma has refused being part of the reality show Bigg Boss. This is the fifth time that the actress has been offered to be a participant on the show. And interestingly, she has refused the offer every time. it is not very clear as to why Nagma is always saying no to the offer.
The very old, boring and tiring reason that has come from Nagma is that she does not want to get involved in any controversies. That is why she is not ready to enter the Bigg Boss house as a participant. But who said that the house of Bigg Boss has been an epicenter of controversies. But yes, let us agree, it is hard to live without one.
But what does Nagma exactly fear? Is she bearing the fact that there might be other participants with whom she can get into arguments and then into controversites? Or does she fear that her past might come to haunt her?
She had already been in the controversies twice in the past – once for her alleged link up with Ravi Kishan – her Bhojpuri co-star. The second time was when she had done a pooja with former India cricket captain Saurav Ganguly.

Now Oye Oye song making rage all over
The past few months have seen a string of item numbers. Munni badnaam hui and Sheila ki jawani made to the top of the charts from the fag end of the year. Deepika Padukone was a sexy lady to watch in Dum Maaro Dum. Mallika Sherawat will be seen dancing to the tunes of Shalu in Bin Bulaye Baraati.
Now, the next in the wings is the Oye Oye song from Double Dhamaal. Sanjay Dutt along with Kangana Ranaut and Mallika Sherawat will be seen in the item song. The song has been sung by none other than Sunidhi Chauhan, who is the Queen of dance numbers.
The song has been choreographed by Ganesh Acharya. As a matter of interest, Ganesh Acharya was one of the members of the dance group when the original Oye Oye song was shot. The famous composer pair of Kalyanji Anandji had composed the music for the song.
Mallika Sherawat shows attitude while shooting for Bin Bulaye Baraati
The nakhare and the zatake of famous and popular film personalities are not new to Bollywood. One of the latest film personalities to show such attitude was Mallika Sherawat. She was shooting for the item song Shalu for the film Bin Bulaye Baraati. She was clearly throwing tantrums.
Apparently, Mallika did not agree to shoot the item song with other actors. There were actors like Om Puri, Gulshan Grover, Mukesh Tiwari, Rajpal Yadav, and Johnny Lever who were also a part of the song. According to the first hand direction, they were supposed to just be present on the sets (and not be the actual participants of the song).
However, even when these actors were not going to be part of the song anyway, she still did not want anyone to be around. She wanted to do the song all by herself.
According to one of the sources, the part of Mallika was shot on a different day and the other actors’ shoot took place on yet another day. Both these shootings were then merged together.
However, there was a different version from the choreographer Ganesh Acharya. He said that there was no such special demand from Mallika about shooting separately. The other actors were supposed to join Mallika at the end of the song, Acharya said.
Is Jennifer Lopez heading Bollywood?
After a string of foreign female hotties showing up in the entertainment industry in India on various occasions, the name of Jennifer Lopez is now doing the rounds of the same. It is being reported that the sexy superstar will soon be seen in Bollywood dancing to the desi tunes.
But the question is when is that going to materialize. If we go by the reports of Jennifer Lopez herself, then her coming to India is not a possibility at least in the near future. There are mainly professional reasons behind this. The most prominent being her very own album.
Jennifer Lopez has come out with her own album titled Love. This is the first ever album for Jenni in as many as four years. Obviously, she is giving personal attention to see to it that the promotion of the album is going on the right track. She is currently too busy to think of any other engagement other than the promotion of Love.
She has however said that if ever she thinks of coming to India, she would make it a grand announcement. But before that happens, she wants her fans from India to listen to her brand new album.

Rakhi Vohra tried to molest me: Alisa Khan
Rakhi Vohra and Alisa Khan may not be too popular names. Both will be seen in their upcoming film My Husband’s Wife. Everything was going fine with the shooting when something ‘strange’ suddenly happened. This ‘strange’ incident was from Alisa Khan’s point of view.
Alisa Khan plays the role of a psychotic lover in this film. It so happened that, Rakhi called Alisa in her room in the five star hotel in which they had checked in. It was actually an ‘invitation’ from Rakhi. According to Alisa, she did not say no, as that would have given her a chance to have some company as well.
However, she was unaware of what was awaiting her. She further says that, as she entered Rakhi’s room, Rakhi started to act wild. Rakhi had started to strip herself and wanted to have some ‘fun’ with Alisa. Obviously, Alisa refused to get into the act. At this time, Rakhi got bold enough to lock Alisa in the room alone and go to the shoot all by herself.

Alisa Khan had to call for help from her phone. The producer and the director of the film, Vinod Chhabra has also seconded the incident. According to him, he had to literally request Rakhi to hand over the keys to him so that he could rescue Alisa from the room.
It is being rumored that Alisa Khan has decided to live the Bollywood film line for good after this incident and would instead work as an airhostess in an aviation company.
Prem Chopra, Rati Agnihotri and Shakti Kapoor are the other well known names in the film.
Salman Khan to play a RAW agent in Ek Tha Tiger
In his forthcoming film Ek Tha Tiger, Salman Khan will be seen as a RAW agent. This will be the first time that Salman Khan will be playing such an important role in life. Salman has hardly ever played such a role before in his life. Ek Tha Tiger is a Yash Raj film to be directed by Kabir Khan.
Salman Khan may yet be reeling under the influence of the Chulbul Pandy fame in Dabangg. However, playing the role of a RAW agent will not be that easy for Salman. The reason is that it is a realistic role and far too different from that of the character of Chulbul Pandey.
After Salman was approached for the role by Aditya Chopra and as soon as he heard the script, he decided to go for the role. This was also going to be the test of his character as an actor. One important thing though, Salman will have to get into the RAW agent’s mindset by studying them. Only then can he bring out a performance worth appreciating.
The shooting of the film is likely to get underway towards the end of this year.
RAW – the Research and Analysis Wing, is the external intelligence agency of India.

Raveena Tandon’s adopted daughter Pooja to marry soon
Raveena Tandon has two adopted daughters. The second of the two, Pooja, is going to marry soon. Pooja will marry a South African whose name is Joe. The marriage is likely to take place in the month of October. Pooja is into event management. Through this, she happened to meet Joe.
Raveena is naturally busy with the work and has turned to be a wedding planner for her daughter. The engagement ceremony will take place on Friday, May 27 in Mumbai; while the actual wedding will take place in Cape Town.
Raveena is busy with the mehendi ceremony preparations. This will take place before the engagement ceremony on Friday. Raveena has chosen a very dazzling red saree for the ring ceremony. There will be many specially invited guests from South Africa as well. That’s why Raveena wants everything to be planned perfectly.
In her very early life, Raveena Tandon had adopted both these girls – Pooja and Chhaya. At that time, Pooja was 11 years old while Chhaya was 8. However, it was Chhaya who got married before Pooja – at least a couple of years ago. Both these girls are the daughters of Raveena’s distant cousin.
Salman Khan comes to the rescue of Pritam Chakraborty
Salman Khan continues to act as a savior for his Bollywood friends. Yesterday we had reported about Sallu coming to the aid of Subhash Ghai. Now, Pritam Chakraborty finds himself under the shadow of Salman Khan. Salman jumped to Pritam’s rescue during a press conference for the film Ready.
Until the career that Pritam Chakraborty had in Bollywood, many might know that Pritam has always been accused of plagiarism. He has been pointed fingers at due to the copying of songs. There was one such question thrown at Pritam by a journalist in the conference.
Pritam Chakraborty was taken aback by the sudden and expected question that would come back again to haunt him. The composer was not at all ready for this unexpected question. He had hardly gathered any wits to answer the question, when Salman jumped in between to defend Pritam.
“Are you talking about the lyrics being similar? Don’t you know Pritam hasn’t written the lyrics? Ask the lyricist for the lyrics, not the guy who composed the song.” Hearing this, Pritam felt completely satisfied and relaxed. There was hardly anyone in the past that came out to his defense in the public.
Salman Khan also later told Pritam Chakraborty that he should not surrender meekly to anyone if he thinks that what he has done is right.
Good words, Sallu! These are enough to instill even a dead man.

Salman Khan to work with Subhash Ghai
If anyone from the film industry is in trouble, then it is Salman Khan who comes to the rescue. This time, Subhash Ghai is the beneficiary of the Dabangg star’s help. Salman Khan has agreed to act in Subhash Ghai’s next film in spite of their differences some years ago.
Actually, the acclaimed director, Subhash Ghai has not delivered a hit since Taal. Taal was released in 1999 and it has been around 12 years since. The last film the two did together was Yuvraaj. However, the two had a spat even before they did Yuvraaj.
However, forgetting their old differences, they came together for Yuvraaj. But the film bombed so badly at the box office, that they got another reason to hate each other. But as luck would have it, Salman again became the savior of Subhash Ghai.
Riding on the success of Dabangg, Salman Khan is certainly a big star today. There is no doubt that the film can be pulled off by Salman Khan alone. It is reported that the film will go on floors by the end of the year.

There is Naseeruddin Shah in the film and Udita has written the film keeping the senior actor in mind.

These are not my diamonds: Minissha Lamba
After a couple of days’ of rest from Minissha Lamba’s side, she has come up with a statement about the diamonds those were found in her bag when she was returning from Cannes this week. She said that the diamonds were given to her to wear for the Cannes festival and that she has no right on them.
Minissha Lamba was caught (or let’s say found) with diamonds worth Rs. 50 lakhs. She said that, the jewelers who owned them were Anmol Jewellers and that it was just a part of the film festival. She had nothing to do with them after the fest was over. She also said that as the jewellery belongs to Anmol Jewellers, there cannot be any type of case against her.
As far as the technicalities now go, the jewelers would be called up to verify if Minissha is speaking the truth or not. Apart from that, the entire jewellery will be in the custody of the government until then.
The Cannes Film Festival did not prove to be too good for Minissha Lamba, as apart from this jewellery issue, she has also lost her personal bag during the trip.
