Deepika Padukone says that she has only “good friends” in the industry and no foes. Whether it’s Sonam Kapoor, her once-rumoured antagonist, or her ex Ranbir Kapoor, she’s on good terms with everyone, pretty much like a Karan Johar movie. “I have no grudges against Sonam. It’s the media that’s creating the hype. Karan’s show is not to be taken seriously. He asks tongue-in-cheek questions, but it is all done in good humour.”

Success certainly sits well on yesteryear icon Dharmendra. Yamla Pagla Deewana made all the right noises at the box office, giving the Deols a reason to celebrate.

Kiran Rao may be a debutant director, nonetheless she is very confident. And that confidence showed in the manner in which she found the actresses for her film.
Explaining the character of one of the girls in her film Kiran says, “The character of Shai, an NRI banker from the States, plans to rediscover her roots and therefore lands in India. Monica is a beautiful girl and she was perfect for the role because she is also from the USA and has returned to India a few years ago. Her accent also suits the character,”

Katrina’s love for Barbie

Like most girls on this planet, Katrina Kaif too has grown up loving dolls, especially the most famous one of all — Barbie. Reminiscing about her Barbie doll memories she discloses, “Yeah! I carry a poignant memory of wanting a Barbie doll going way back to my childhood. We were seven girls in the family and hailing from a not very rich family, it was not easy for us to afford a Barbie doll. I remember my parents bought us a Barbie doll and I had broken its arm.”

The one and only Amitabh

The stalwart among actors still stands out in Bollywood at the ripe age of 68. At a time when most of his contemporaries have retired, Amitabh Bachchan raises his benchmark with every new milestone and strives to attain greater goals.

Bipasha Basu is one actress who is really grounded.

This is very evident as they have never kept their love life or their live-in relationship under wraps.

Anushka Sharma didn’t have filmy pedigree to her credit. Nor did she have a beauty pageant title behind her to open doors in Bollywood. Yet, she has had a debut few can dream of — the lead role in a Yash Raj film starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan. What more could she have asked for?
