Vidya Balan’s Wimbledon date with beau Siddhartha!

Mumbai: Even as UTV honcho Siddhartha Roy Kapoor has professed his love in the most flattering ways in the past, he has now splurged on his lady love Vidya Balan in a truly unique manner. He has gifted her a trip to Wimbledon for the semis and the finals.

"Vidya loves tennis and has been keenly following the Wimbledon matches. Siddhartha had been busy with the promo launch of his next movie which happened on Monday. He can now breathe easy and needs a break. Taking off for London was a spontaneous decision," Vidya`s friend shared with the media.

"They want to catch all the important matches scheduled for later this week. This trip will also give them some time together away from the constant media glare in the city," quoted the friend.

According to reports the last-minute premium tickets have cost Siddhartha Roy Kapoor Rs. 6 lakh each!

Well, Vidya is one lucky girl!

Priyanka Chopra talks about her relationship with younger brother

Actor Priyanka Chopra may be globetrotting,but she always puts her family right on top of her priority list. If there is one person she is really close to, then it is her younger brother, Siddharth.

And Raksha Bandhan is just the occasion to celebrate that bond between them. Talking about it, she says, “Over the past few years, it’s been difficult to celebrate Raksha Bandhan as my brother is away studying and I am travelling because of work. 

But it’s an important festival for us. No matter where we are in the world, we celebrate it.I make it a point to send him a rakhi no matter what. I’m going to miss him a lot today,”she says.

Brother Siddharth, who’s studying a culinary course, pampers his sister when they are together. “Sid is my baby brother and I love him. He's very loving, caring and tries to be a good brother. I always pamper him so he tries to return the favour by making Raksha Bandan special for me every year. He’s a great chef and I love food, so whenever we are together, he cooks me a very special meal,” gushes the actor.

Piggy Chops recently flew down to Switzerland, amidst her choc-a-bloc schedule, to be with her brother on his all important day — his graduation day. 

Sid was pleasantly surprised to see his sister there. Talking about the festival she says, “Though I always send him a rakhi, I only wish he took the trouble to send me a gift in return (laughs). I also have a very large family and many cousin brothers. They are spread all over theworld and I send all of them rakhis every year.”

Siddharth, Shruti Haasan living-in!

Siddharth and Shruti Haasan have taken their relationship to an all new level. They are so confident about their relationship that they have started living-in to get to know each other better.

The couple hasn't hidden anything from the actress-singer's father Kamal Haasan and have also got his blessings. When Kamal learnt that the two were intending to take their relationship forward, the progressive father was more than happy to bless the duo.

"They felt they should live-in, given as they have never really fought with each other or had any sort of misunderstandings. Shruti is head-over-heels in love. She is willing to even chase a career down South and keep Bollywood as a secondary option. She has rejected around five good offers. She feels proximity with her beau will make her relationship work. The couple very much wants to settle down a few years down the line," says a reliable informer.

The insider adds, "Kamal is very happy about Shruti choosing Sid. He feels the actor is good for his girl. He liked Sid as an actor even before Shruti and Sid started seeing each other. Shruti has also not been performing with the new band that she had formed — the reason, again her relationship which doesn't leave her with much time to do anything else. Therefore, writing new songs, preparing new compositions and tracks is also not happening. But she is happy and content." When contacted, Shruti and Siddharth, who was married earlier to his childhood sweetheart Meghna for four years before they split in 2006, remained unavailable for comment.
