Kangana Ranaut does away with pearly white teeth

Actors and actresses do a whole lot of things to play their character and Kangana Ranaut is no exception. She had to do away with pearly white teeth for the role she plays in her upcoming film Rajjo.

As a matter of fact, she needed to show stained teeth due to consumption of tobacco. However, when the director told her that she would have to eat tobacco for the role Kangana flatly refused. After all, she had never consumed that item before.

In such a case, eating paan was the best way out and looked a practical option. Kangana was skeptical about eating the paan too; however, she yielded after the director made her understand that it was the need of the role for her.

Showing stained teeth was the need for the role for Kangana and she will be seen without her milky white teeth in many scenes in the film. She plays a mujrewali in the film and has a very loud character. No wonder, she had to look the way to fit the character.

Salman Khan to get Rs. 130 crores for 26 Bigg Boss episodes

The sudden rise in the rates and that too twice what he used to get earlier can be attributed to the fact that he will be seen in a double role for this season. The double role is due to the concept of the show for the season.

For the seventh season of the reality show, the concept is heaven and hail. That is why Salman will be playing the double role. He will be seen in roles like and angel and a devil that goes with the theme of the show.

However, all might not be well for Salman. As he has been charged with charges of culpable homicide in regard to the 2002 case, he may have to face legal action that may potentially not make him available for the show. To overcome this problem, Salman Khan will be shooting a couple of episodes each day every week.
