"You look so good, Salman" - Preity Zinta


Preity Zinta just can't stop praising Salman's look in 'Heroes' even though earlier, she has never been seen complimenting her male co-stars.This is for the first time that my male co-star's look made go completely in awe of him. Salman is a Jat Punjabi in the film and every time I'd see him in that get up I'd go, "Wow! You look so good, Salman!" Salman and I have worked together earlier in films but I had never complimented him ever. But Salman's Sikh look swept me off my feet," Preity said smiling.
Obviously, Preity has enough reasons to praise Salman. In fact, recently when the actress was in London, a couple of Sikh fans came up to her and complimented her on 'Heroes' as well as Salman's look in the film. They also raved about the fact that they were waiting in anticipation for 'Heroes' to release. They were even teasing her with Salman and that's when the sporty Preity retorted tongue-in-cheek, "Well I am proud to be his wife... in the film that is!"
Well, Preity sure has a rocking sense of humor.


SRK gifts Farah iphone


King Khan of Bollywood SRK is known to have a generous heart when it comes to his close friends. The Khan with a mighty heart recently gifted close buddy Farah Khan Apple’s iPhone.
A source reveals, “Last month, Farah Khan was choreographing a song picturised on Shah Rukh and Deepika Padukone at Filmistan Studios for his home production. SRK and Farah being big techno game freaks became obsessed with the latest iPhone game Lexitron (a word forming game) which cinematographer V Manikandan had on his iPhone. The actor and the director played the game on Manikandan’s phone till the battery died. The next day, Farah was pleasantly surprised when Shah Rukh gifted not just her but also her assistant Feroze the latest iPhones. Farah uses the iPhone for playing games and taking videos and pictures of her triplets — Anya, Diva and Czar. She has been showing the pictures and videos to everyone on the sets on Billoo Barber.”
When Farah was asked about SRK’s gesture she said, ”What’s the big deal in such gifts? These things happen between friends all the time.”
Yeah well said Farah, specially if you happen to be SRK and Sallu’s friend.

Priyanka and Minissha to compete


Its clash time again for the two beauties.
On one side is the dusky Priyanka Chopra who is back to avenge the destiny's decision to hand over the title of flop to her last big budget futuristic flick and regain her lost ground with 'Drona'.
On the other side stand the cute, talented and the latest bikini girl of B-Town Minissha Lamba.
The girl who is considered to be good enough because of her potential to be included in the top league of B-Town beauties in the future and who is on a high after the success of 'Bachana Aaye Hasino'.
It was on August 15 that 'God Tussi Great Ho' having Priyanka as the leading lady and 'Bachana Aaye Hasino' having Minissha as one of the heroines hit the big screens.
While the film of Salman Khan sank without a trace, 'BAH' went up the popularity charts.
Now the time has come again for two films of Priyanka and Minissha to face each other as 'Drona' and 'Kidnap' will be releasing this Friday.
This time it is impossible to side with either of the two movies as each has its own strong points and is totally different from each other except the common factor of some edge of the seat action sequences.
Let's wait and watch the verdict of the decisive Friday.
