He is the quintessential Punjabi boy that any woman would gladly fall for. But Abhay Deol still prefers to underplay his cool dude image. For instance, he says, he’s eagerly awaiting the release of his next film Shanghai, but he can’t be bothered to go on a publicity overdrive. “You know, that’s a Deol trademark.

That Ekta Kapoor is a powerhouse in the entertainment industry doesn’t need to be stated. Add to that her personal connections with prominent industry denizens, and it’s small surprise indeed that Ekta gets her way when it comes to her pet projects. And so has been the case with the entertainment awards she’s instituted.

John remains nonchalant

His former ladylove may have been spewing venom against him in the recent past but John Abraham is being a complete gentleman about it. He says, “I have tremendous respect for women — we have all had our share of good and bad times but I am not the type who will discuss these issues publicly.”
