Priyanka Chopra Is Haunted By A Ghost From Her Past!

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra may be having sleepless nights in Berlin where she is presently shooting for Don 2. According to reports doing the rounds, the actress is being haunted by a ghost from her past. Well, not literally, but a certain Prakash Jaju has returned back to Priyanka Chopra’s life. For the uninitiated, Prakash Jaju was the actress’ secretary once upon a time. He was sacked by Priyanka Chopra when she caught him sending her lecherous text messages and was handed over to the police officials in Mumbai. But now that his arrest period is over, Prakash Jaju has resurfaced in Priyanka Chopra’s life.

The ex-secretary is reportedly promoting the career of Meera Chopra, Priyanka Chopra’s distant cousin. And though the Bollywood actress is very disturbed over the fact, she cannot really do anything about it, because though the court orders Prakash Jaju to stay away from her family, nothing has been mentioned about her extended family in the legal notice. What comes across as more troubling news to Priyanka Chopra is the fact that Meera has gone on record saying that she does not find anything wrong in Prakash Jaju’s character and she is prepared to work with him because the man may bring her some good offers from Bollywood.

Meera Chopra is all set to debut in Bollywood next year and it is to be seen whether Prakash Jaju can create the same magic with her as he did with Priyanka Chopra.

Manisha Koirala moves to her parents’ home

It is now proved that Manisha Koirala has some major issues with husband Samrat Dahal. She moved to her parents’ place few days before she put up her marriage status on Facebook. It proves that trouble is really brewing in Manisha’s marriage. In her Facebook, she posted that she wants divorce from Samrat. But after a moment, she deleted it.

A source reveals, "Manisha had already moved out of her house with Samrat (Dahal) days before putting up the post on the social networking site. She was living with her parents in Kathmandu and had told them she had some issues with Samrat."

When enquired about what made Manisha to move to her parents' place, a close friend of the actress revealed that she had viral fever and since Samrat is out of the town, she did not want to be left alone and so moved to her parents’ home.

Manisha is presently in Goa for the film festival. Former politician and Manisha’s father Prakash Koirala moved out in support of his daughter and denied any problem between his daughter and son-in-law.

Manisha and Samrat were married for five months only.

Dia Mirza on Maxim cover

Well, we know that you would have been swept off your floor with the title. Trust us, even we too were. But what swept were the angelic Di's images in the recent edition of the Maxim magazine (for the uninitiated, Di happens to be the pet name of Dia Mirza)!

Dia looks super hot in this issue. And mind you, Dia is not new to the Maxim family, as this is the second time that she has been the 'Cover Girl' of this mag. And when asked about how she manages to give all the angels a marathon run for their hard-earned money, Dia says, "Eating healthy, working out and most importantly, surrounding myself with work and people that keep me in a positive frame of mind." For all the wannabe Dias out there, here's what she says, "Be real. Be confident. Have an opinion and Express it. It isn't much fun if all you do is care to know more."

Deepika shares steamy lip-lock with Imran

In a love story, kissing scene is said to be quite natural. Following the trend, Deepika Padukone also lip-locked her co-star Imran Khan in Danish Aslam’s debut film, ‘Break Ke Baad’. They share a steamy kiss in the movie.

For Deepika Padukone, kissing on-screen is not a big deal and she is comfortable with the idea but for Imran Khan kissing his co-star is as difficult as a fight scene.

In the movie, Deepika plays Aaliya and Imran plays Abhay. Both are childhood friend and gradually they develop love for each other. Before they commit to each other, Aaliya and Abhay parts away as she wants to establish herself as an actress. They both take a break from their relationship.

Shot in Delhi, Mumbai and Mauritius, the movie is slated for Friday, November 26 release.

The couple got engaged last December after a whirlwind three-month romance and tied the knot at the luxury Aman-i-Khas resort in Rajasthan, India, last month.

Katie Price weight woes

Katie Price admits she has piled on pounds over recent months because of junk food.

The British star has been gorging on too many calorific treats over recent months and, as a result, has put on seven pounds even despite the fact she is exercising regularly, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“I have put on seven pounds. But it’s no wonder, as I eat a big curry at least once a week. I ride every morning, so I know I’m getting exercise, but I haven’t been eating well,” she said.

“I am not happy at this weight. I want to lose it. We’re never happy with how we look, though, are we?,” she added.

Katie, 32, who is married to cage-fighter Alex Reid is determined to lose the extra weight as she doesn’t like to be unhealthy.

Dark doubts haunt Emma Watson

The “Harry Potter” actress Emma Watson says she has endured “dark times” due to a “voice in her head” and hence is very grounded.

“I have had dark times, this voice in my head that makes me pretty hard on myself. I really don’t let anything go. I have been learning that I have to try to be a bit kinder and take care of myself a bit better,” express.co.uk quoted Watson as saying.

Now she has finished filming the last book “Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows”. Watson is studying at Brown University and is single and says she still needs a little help from her friends when it comes to understanding men.

I’m trying to mount an international film: Gul Panag

Former beauty queen-turned-actress Gul Panag is planning to mount an international film with Britain-based Italian origin director Ovidio Salazar in which she will also be acting.

“I am trying to mount a project with a friend of mine, Ovidio Salazar, whom I met at the film festival in Russia, where I was in the jury. It’s an international project we are trying to put together,” Gul, 31, told IANS.

She said, “The way films work internationally, there are no co-producers. There are people who mount the project, they are the executive producers and then the funding comes from elsewhere.”

Ovidio is an Italian by origin who has lived in America and is now based in Britain. So Gul isn’t sure whether to call it a Hollywood or a British film, which they take to the floors some time in 2012.

“It’s too premature. It would be an international project. This is a film where I would be acting as well. He is an American director based in England. We are trying to mount it and hopefully take it on the floors at some point in 2012. It’s an expensive project.

“We don’t know whether it would be an American or a British film. It’s an English film. Ovidio is of Italian origin. Italian, American and now British. And he converted to Islam 20 years back,” said Gul.

Gul, who has carved a niche as an offbeat film actor through her films like “Dor” (2006) and “Manorama Six Feet Under” (2007), maintains that she plays a mixed blood Indian in Ovidio’s film.

“It’s his script. He has the script for a while and when he met me he said I am the person he wants for the film. He needs someone who looks Indian but has a degree of mixed blood somewhere. So the character is mixed blood Indian,” said Gul.

Asked if she would ever write a script or direct a film, she said, “I don’t see myself writing a script at all, not directing either.”

Sunny Deol’s son joins Rahul Rawail’s acting school

Karan Deol, the 19-year-old son of Bollywood actor Sunny Deol who was launched in director Rahul Rawail’s “Betaab” in 1983, has enrolled as the first student in the filmmaker’s acting school.

Rawail says: “I’ve just started my acting school. It’s the first Indian branch of the world-famous Stella Adler Studio Of Acting. And Sunny’s son Karan is my first student.”

Stella Adler’s school in New York is named after Marlon Brando’s first acting teacher. It’s the world’s most well-known acting school, having trained many Hollywood legends such as Anthony Quinn, Warren Beatty and Candice Bergen.

“As proud as I am of having got the franchise for the Stella Adler Studio Of Acting, I am even prouder that Sunny’s son is my first student. I see a sense of continuity there,” Rawail says.
