Why does Bobby Deol feel like a stranger in Bollywood In his almost two decade long career, Bobby has more than 40 films to his credit as an actor. Then why does he still feel like a stranger in Bollywood? Born on January 27, 1967, Bobby Deol turned 46 on Sunday. Over the years, the Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 star has been known for his versatile acting and squeaky clean image as a married actor. Like his image, his movie titles also come across as quite clean except a few. When we convert these Hindi film titles into English, they don't remain clean any more (sorry Bobby!). And, as usual, the meaning and sense get lost in translation.

Will Shahrukh Khan's security be reinstated by Mumbai Police At least, that's what the buzz is all about right now� Shahrukh Khan's security : comprising eight constables working in shifts : was relaxed because a recent review concluded that there wasn't any security threat to the Baadshah anymore. But politics has raised its ugly head and it led to a war of words between Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik and India's Home Secretary RK Singh, who had a verbal dual over the superstar's security. Now, insiders reveal that Mumbai Police might reinstate Shahrukh's security. And if so, it could be because of the statement issued by the Home Secretary that said: "We are capable of looking after our own citizen, let him (Rehman Malik) worry about the security of his country's citizen." Does that ease the worry lines on Pakistan's Interior Minister's forehead? We hope so. Stay clued in to this space for more updates on this one. 
Can you recognise Priyanka Chopra Deewana Main Deewana trailer The Barfi! actor's looks shuffle between garish make-up, uncool outfits and her current superglam avatar A 20-year-old Priyanka Chopra signed a film titled Pyar Jhukta Nahin directed by KC Bokadia in 2003 opposite Govinda, who was trying to hold on to his flailing career at that point, shot for a few months and then forgot about it. At 30, PeeCee : one of the most successful B-town ladies today : wakes up to find out that from nowhere, this embarrassing movie : now called Deewana Main Deewana (what difference does it make really?) : that was stuck for 10 years, has been dug out of its grave and readied for release on February 1. We do admire PeeCee's guts to stand by the project, even reshoot some of her portions and help the director release this outdated film. But why would you and I actually buy a multiplex ticket to catch a Priyanka movie that looks rehashed and stale? Wouldn't we rather watch Barfi! again? And why would you even want to watch the trailer of a film that brings back memories of all things unpleasant about small-budget capers from the early 2000s? For comic relief of course! So I watched this trailer in good humour. But a dusky Priyanka wearing garish make-up (that makes her look like a ghost from an earlier decade) and bright blue sharara pants, and grooving to some of the most banal dance steps is still a nightmare, isn't it? And then, a few newly shot portions of the actor have been inserted just to cash in on her current look. Are we schizophrenic? We had, with some amount of hard work, managed to forget about a certain Ms Chopra who struggled to get her looks right during her initial days. The television reruns of her earlier films like Andaz, Barsaat,Kismat and Asambhav make us cringe even now. Anyway, getting back to the trailer� PeeCee : today's red carpet star with her super glamorous image, stylish Armani gowns and Jimmy Choo shoes : is seen walking into scenes in cheesy salwar kameez, denim caps, head band, cheap bright lipstick, old fashioned hairstyle and a really outdated nose. Guess she's trying to match Govinda's unique style sense in this one. Deewana Main Deewana is supposed to be a thriller, yes indeed, a movie to be watched for the cheap thrills of witnessing an odd couple : a pot-bellied Govinda and an alien Priyanka coochie coo on the big screen! 
Salman Khan's hit and run case Court orders enquiry into the delay in trial A magistrate court in Mumbai has ordered a detailed enquiry into the allegations of deliberate delay in theDabangg star's hit-and-run case trial When Salman Khan was summoned by the court for the trial of his infamous 2002 hit-and-run case on December 27, 2012, which was incidentally his 47th birthday, the superstar did not turn up. Instead, his sister Alvira Agnihotri and Arpita Khan appeared in court with lawyer Dipesh Mehta to file a petition that sought an exemption on Sallu's behalf. And surprisingly, this request was accepted by the court. Petitioner Abha Singh, who had alleged that the police and the judiciary are working hand in glove to protect the actor, demanded an enquiry into the alleged delay in the trial. "He (Salman) is making movies and earning money but not coming to court," said Singh about the actor whose SUV had rammed into a bakery in suburban Bandra, killing one and injuring four people who were sleeping on the pavement outside 10 years ago. True to Singh's claims, Salman was seen partying in the city even though the Mumbai police were searching for the star all over the city. Singh also said in court that the police had taken a good 24 days to serve the court summons to Salman, claiming that he was not in the city. The Dabangg dude was accused of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. But the Bombay High Court then reduced the charges to rash and negligent driving, which was challenged by Abha Singh. And now a magistrate's court in Mumbai has ordered an enquiry into the allegations of deliberate delay in actor Salman Khan's trial. The Mumbai police in their reply have filed a statement in court denying any delay in the trial process. The court has set March 5 as the next date for hearing. 
What a yummy mummy Shilpa Shetty The fitness-conscious mother of one has a special secret : how to look fabulous at work. And we want to know just how she does it� So she was the babe who shook her booty to loot UP and Bihar and then bounced her way into the hormones�err�heart of John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan on a beach in Miami, becoming every male adolescent's wet dream. But then she opted to get married and have a baby, thereby gaining a few kilos, obviously, and looking rotundly gorgeous. Of course we did not expect that to last, since Shilpa Shetty Kundra has to be one of the most fitness conscious Bolly-babes in creation, apart from Esha Deol and Bipasha Basu. Remember her yoga DVD and that flat, oh-so-flat belly and endless legs? Sigh� And now, in her latest appearance on Nach Baliye 5, the telly dance reality show that she is judging along with Terence Lewis and Sajid Khan, the curvaceous Mrs Kundra is starting to look more like her former self. The hair, makeup and perhaps shapewear perfectly in place, designer duds aligned just so : though that orange shirt and sparkly skirt combo of last time was less than successful : Shilpa seems to have gotten her groove back. In the next episodes she is seen in a churidar kurta and chandelier earrings, looking slimmer, if not her well-known svelte self. Are we going to see less of her in near-future episodes? As long as that lovely mommy-wifey glow stays on and that radiant smile beams forth, we really don't care any which way! 
Hrithik Roshan chooses to stay away from Shahrukh Khan's security controversy The Krrish 3 superstar chose to play safe when probed about the controversy surrounding Shahrukh Khan's security in India Looks like Hrithik Roshan is in no mood to voice his opinion on the controversy that has got the entire nation into a debate mode. When asked if he supported Shahrukh Khan's claim that he sometimes becomes the inadvertent object of political leaders, and therefore needs security in India, Hrithik gave a rather lame reply. "I am a god guy. I support everyone," said the 39-year-old actor in a press conference. Clearly, Hrithik brushed away the question and refused to give his concrete stand on the issue that has got his good friend SRK into trouble. Shahrukh, in his recent interview to Outlook Turning Points magazine, had talked about being a Muslim in India, following which Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed said that the actor was welcome to stay in Pakistan if he felt insecure in India. This episode sparked a debate in the country. SRK however has clarified that he never felt insecure in India and also maintained that he is an Indian first and Humanity is his religion. 
Is Ranveer Singh truly so irritating off-screen The Gunday actor has been causing his leading ladies a lot of trouble of late If there is one actor who needs to urgently control his excitement, then it is none other than Ranveer Singh. Though the actor is a treat to watch on screen, with all the energy that he brings to the role, it is his spontaneous and over the top bursts of energy off-screen that have left his co-stars irritated. So, be it the IIFA Awards in 2011, or his TV appearances, or even while attending movie shows, the actor is known to cause embarrassing moments, either by his loud and boisterous behaviour or by his antics and brash mannerisms. And although he does so with a �clean heart', as sources close to him say, his attention seeking behaviour doesn't always go well with his co-stars. Until now he had managed to embarrass Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor but now there's another name in the list; Priyanka Chopra. Only recently Ranveer left Deepika red-faced at a theatre where he was making rowdy comments about the movie that they went to watch together, while Kareena, Ranveer managed to embarrass at a party where he loudly proclaimed his feelings for the actor. And now the young actor has gone ahead and irked the pretty Priyanka Chopra! Only recently, the actor, in a fit of overzealousness, managed to hurt his Gunday co-star Priyanka while shooting for the movie. His excitement got the better off him, and Ranveer, while performing a scene, yanked PeeCee's hands so hard that the actor was almost in tears. A source on the sets said that, even in the earlier takes, an over-excited Ranveer completely forgot his basic manners and hurt Priyanka a couple of times. But finally, PeeCee just couldn't take it and had to scream at Ranveer to take it easy. Well, now what can we say! Will someone please tell Ranveer that he is not the first young actor who is good at his work! And while we all know that a little bit of craziness and goofiness is cool, but by going full retard, one can end up hurting people at times, and in Ranveer's case, literally! Tch tch. 
CBI wants a special screening of Special 26 before release Khiladi Kumar's latest con flick will be reviewed specially by the investigative agency before clearing it for release Until now, it was only the Censor Board that was known for its high-handed and at times bizarre behaviour, culling down scenes for frivolous reasons and trampling on creative freedom. And now, joining the bandwagon in yet another case of assault on creative freedom is the CBI! The nation's premier investigating agency has apparently started to feel a little queasy considering the upcoming Akshay Kumar movie Special 26, is a crime-comedy, based on a true 1983 story where a group of conmen, posed as CBI agents and duped jewelers. And in this Neeraj Pandey film, Akshay plays one of the conmen while Manoj Bajpayee is the CBI officer. So now, the CBI will be attending a special screening of the movie to see if they are shown in poor light or not, and also will share their apprehensions, if any, with the makers. Well, this is a little weird, considering there are scores of movies that have been made based on real life police cases, and the police aren't shown as saviours all the time! Tch tch. Anyway, for Akki's sake, we hope that the CBI doesn't find anything too �objectionable' in the movie which they think might put their shining reputation at stake! 
Arshad Warsi Says It is a privilege to work with Sanju baba It is impossible to imagine Munnabhai sans his �bidu' Circuit, as they both are like hand in glove. By now definitely you all would have guessed that we're referring to the popular jodi of Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, which made us rolling in the floor laughing while watching Munnabhai series. And we guess, Arshad is very well aware of this fact, and has only good things to say about Sanjay Dutt. The actor says it is a privilege to work with Sanjay Dutt. The great pairing of Munnabhai will once again share screen space in Zila Ghaziabad. Arshad says it is a privilege to work with an actor as secure as Sanjay. "When you work with any actor, your comfort level is more when that particular actor is secure, and Sanju is very secure� He does not worry at all," Arshad, 44, said on Friday at the movie's music launch. Arshad Warsi has worked with Sanjay Dutt in films like Munnabhai M.B.B.S, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Dhamaal, Double Dhamaal, Anthony Kaun Hai and Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi! He has only good things to say about Sanjay Dutt. "He gives you freedom to do whatever you want to do and that is a privilege that very few actors get. I have the privilege and I am happy about that," says Arshad. Directed by Anand Kumar, Zila Ghaziabad, releasing February 22, is a political action thriller and also features Vivek Oberoi, Minissha Lamba and Ravi Kishan. 
Priyanka Chopra admits being direction dyslexic Priyanka Chopra, who travels with an entourage, says she would be entirely lost if any of the key members of her team are found missing even for a single day. While PC might have played strong characters on the silver screen, but off screen the pop sensation admits being direction dyslexia. She confessed that she needs her driver Maqsood, her agent Natasha and others with her because she suffers from direction dyslexia and cannot find addresses and locations on her own, even if she has been to those places a dozen times before. Meanwhile, she is completely focused on her singing career too and is ready to take any risk. Speaking of the same, she said, "A girl can be in a super-comfort zone and do well in Bollywood. She just has to make sure she looks good," she says. She has chosen to do more. She has often gone against conventional wisdom with roles that won her critical acclaim. She added, "I have always been someone who wants to try out new things. I like to be different. I was too shy to do singing parts in my films, even though producers suggested it. So when Universal Music Group and DesiHits approached me, I was skeptical, but then I thought, why not try it? I started going to the studios. Slowly Interscope [Records] came onboard and then [Moroccan music executive] RedOne and today, it's become such a big project". Well, we hope you keep blooming this way!
