Sameera gets rid of her sleepwalking

Sameera Reddy can’t stop thanking Shilpa Shetty nowadays. For it was the Shetty girl who suggested her to take a spiritual rejuvenation course at Oneness University in Chennai under the watchful guidance of Amma Bhagwan.

Sameera Reddy-3

At Shamita Shetty’s birthday on Feb 2, Shilpa and her mom convinced Sameera of the benefits of a crash course at Oneness University when Sam spoke to them about her sleepwalking habit which had tormented her since childhood.

Heeding their advice, Sameera packed her bags and headed off to Chennai for a seven-day course. Now, after a week she has come back a changed woman, brimming with energy.

Most of all, she no longer suffers from somnambulism.

As she puts it, now “I sleep like a baby every night”.

'My Name Is Khan' continues to shine at box office

In the absence of no big releases last Friday, My Name Is Khan continues to shine at the box office.

The movie’s Monday collection was of Rs 1.75 crore which takes its 11 day total to Rs 58.75 crore approx. The second week collection of ‘My Name Is Khan’ is likely to finish in the Rs 16-17 crore mark, taking its two-week total to Rs 62-63 crore.

My-Name-Is-Khan-Wallpapers

Now, it’s expected that the lifetime business of MNIK should cross the Rs 70-75 crore mark in India. The movie is already a superhit in Bengal and Mysore region. But to become a nationwide superhit it has to get close to Rs 40 crore distributor share mark, which seems quite attainable if the movie continues a good run over this week.

However, last Friday’s releases Toh Baat Pakki and Click couldn’t warm up the box office. If ‘Click’ opened to a dull response of 10-15% occupancy, Tabu starrer ‘Toh Baat Pakki’ was a bit better with 15-20%.

This Friday there are two thrillers for you, the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Teen Patti and Deepika-Farhan’s Karthik Calling Karthik.

Saif finally signs a film!

It’s not easy to get Saif Ali Khan on board for a film. Don’t believe it? But that’s the truth.

As per a daily, Saif has finally signed a film after rejecting a dozen or so offers. The actor who turned producer last year was rejecting scripts ever since the release of Love Aaj Kal. So, is he acting pricey?

saif-ali-khan

Well, that’s not the reason for the actor who has given some matured performances in films like Omkara and ‘Love Aaj Kal’. But it did take a lot of persuasion before he signed the next film of his old ally Kunal Kohli, who gave Saif his first solo hit with Hum Tum. Saif seems to be in no mood to sign other films as he is concentrating more on his spy thriller Agent Vinod, which he will produce from his own banner.

As a friend of the actor tells a daily, Saif has certainly entered the best phase of his acting career. He will turn 40 this year and should be doing “maximum” number of films between 40 and 45.

That’s a piece of good news for Saif’s fans.

Ranbir Kapoor Becomes Deaf & Dumb

The starson Ranbir Kapoor won’t have to learn sign language from scratch for his role as a deaf and mute character in Anurag Basu’s film. The actor, who assisted Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Black, spent ample time with Ayesha Kapoor and Rani Mukerji when they were being trained on the sets by a teacher for the physically disabled. He had also visited several institutions for the hearing and speech impaired to research on ‘Black’.

ranbir-kapoor-wallpaper

The real challenge now lies in creating a musical score that would amply express the simmering discontent behind Ranbir’s silence in the film. Quite like what Laxmikant-Pyarelal did for Jaya Prada in the 1970s in Sargam, which coincidentally starred Ranbir’s father Rishi Kapoor. While filmmakers Bhansali and Gulzar have made songless films like Black and respectively about deaf and mute protagonists, Anurag Basu is going the other way with a full-on musical to bring out his deaf and mute hero’s emotions and feelings.

Consequently, music director Pritam Chakraborty is a worried man as he now faces the biggest challenge of his career in friend Anurag Basu’s new film starring Ranbir. Incidentally, the director and composer live in the same building.

Vidya Balan promotes Airtel Kolkata Marathon

‘Paa’ and ‘Ishqiya’ have given a new push to Vidya Balan’s career and a perfect answer to the critics who dubbed her as boring and not sexy. Talking about her new found success, Vidya said, “It feels good as I can sense a certain vindication in my father’s eyes. When I was being written about in not so polite terms, there were times when I lost heart and he would tell me ‘things will change’. ‘No one can take your performance away from you and no one can give you a performance. So if that is yours, just hold on to it and that will take you places’. These words of my family gave me strength when I was a little shaky.”

vidya-Airtel-Kolkata-Marathon

Vidya was in Kolkata this Saturday to promote Airtel Kolkata Marathon where she will be flagging off the groups for the Airtel Kolkata Marathon 2010 with Deepak Srivastava, CEO, Bharti Airtel Limited from Red Road (Opposite West Bengal Basket Ball Courts) starting 7 am onwards today on Sunday. Bangla Band will perform at the venue, while Tollywood celebrities Rituparna Sengupta, Locket Chatterjee, Arindam Sil and Sabyasachi Chakraborty will add to the glitz.

Vidya’s next promising venture will be ‘No One Killed Jessica’ about which she says, “I could do a mad comedy as long as my role is substantial. But don’t make it floozy. A lot of women’s roles in Hindi cinema are very apologetic, but I am glad to be representing the changing face of Indian women since I have always portrayed strong female characters.”

All we can say is ‘All the Best, Girl!!”

No Deepika in Murugadoss's next?

A section of the media earlier speculated that director Murugadoss of Ghajini fame will team up with Salman and Deepika Padukone for the Hindi remake of Telugu film Kick. However the actress has denied the reports calling it 'Plain reports'. Meanwhile, the director also clarified that he is not interested in doing any remakes and would rather concentrate in original script.

After Ghajini with Aamir Khan, director Murugadoss is expected to start his next Bollywood venture soon which will be followed by a Tamil flick with ace actor Suriya.

Deepika Padukone & Farhan Akhtar for Filmfare magazine

As the release of Karthik Calling Karthik is drawing closer, Farhan Akhtar is leaving no stone unturned to promote his film. The latest edition to the publicity gimmick is a sensuous mag cover. Deepika Padukone and Farhan are seen striking a yogic pose for the Filmfare magazine.

deepika farhan for Filmfare magazine

The magazine’s March issue says, “The ‘it’ couple Deepika & Farhan steams it up.” Seeing Farhan carrying Deepika on his lap and holding her from back does look like a sensuous pose. But what is missing on the cover is the chemistry between the two stars. The picture-perfect Deepika does add glamour to the cover, but Farhan’s blank look appears too bland.

However, the couple’s yogic pose does evoke some interest.

Hrithik-Barbara hot scenes sexed down

Too hot for bhartiya janata! Well, that’s what the producer Rakesh Roshan and editor Brett Ratner think of the hot scenes between Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori in Kites.

hrithik-roshan_barbara-mori in kites

In a clip of the film leaked online, Hrithik and Barbara are shown getting too cozy and locking the lips in a passionate smooch. There’s also ample skin show by the Mexican hottie.

However, we hear that all these steamy scenes have come under the editor’s scissors and the Hindi version of ‘Kites’ will have them toned down to a considerable degree, keeping in mind the sensibilities of Indian cinegoers. But the movie’s English version would have them.

Why this bias?

Rakesh Roshan says he’s always known to produce films for the family audiences. Therefore, he’s ensuring that there are no lovemaking or intimate scenes in the final print of the film’s Hindi version when it releases in May this year.

'My Name Is Khan' in German and Turkish

Gauging the stupendous run of Shahrukh Khan’s latest film My Name Is Khan worldwide, the film’s distributor Fox STAR Studios India has plans to dub the film in German and Turkish to reach wider audience.

 

shahrukh khan,kajol my name is khan

The movie, directed by Karan Johar and also starring Kajol, opened last week to a record breaking start for any Hindi movie at the box office abroad. Since the film’s subject strikes a resonance with Muslims the decision to dub it in Turkish has been taken. Moreover, the movie will also be released in Poland with Polish subtitles.

“In Germany, we want the film to go down much deeper to the German audience and that particular market prefers films to be dubbed. So that's why we are dubbing it in German and Turkish,” Vijay Singh, CEO of Fox STAR Studios India, is quoted as saying.

Singh also revealed the company’s plan to release ‘My Name Is Khan’ in 25 non-traditional markets throughout the world from March to June this year. In Germany it will release on 40 screens, the most for any Bollywood film so far. And in Poland, the subtitled version will release in March on 50 screens.

Well, the SRK magic seems to be working worldwide.

Aishwarya Rai Diagnosed With Stomach TB

If rumors are to be believed, the buzz is that Aishwarya Bachchan has not been able to conceive in the last two years because she is suffering from Stomach TB.

aishwarya-rai76d

A source reports, “It is a well known fact that the Bachchans are keenly looking forward to their heir apparent for the family but Ash’s bad health has dampened the plans for some time.

Aishwarya, who running in her 37th year is waiting for her good health to come back before she plans a family. On the other hand, the official stand on Bachchans regarding Ash’s pregnancy is “when-it-happens-it will happen”.”

I doubt if stomach TB really interupts with conception? Sounds stupid to me! Aishwarya is too absorbed in her career and aiming high for a big international break-through in Hollywood, till then I guess she wont conceive.

Suprisingly Bachchans are cool about it!

Amitabh in an angry mood!

amitabh-bachchanWhatever be the situation, Amitabh Bachchan never shows his anger to the public and always controls his bad mood. But recently, during the promotion of ‘Teen Patti’, Big B showed his bad temperament to one and all. His upset mood was very much visible and he seemed very angry over something.

 

Dressed in white and black stripe suit, white shirt and pink tie, Big B entered for the promotional event two hours late but we all know that Amitabh Bachchan is very punctual and never arrives at an event so late. Then he took a wrong seat which was allotted to someone else and refused to change his seat. When he was asked to take his seat at the center, he in an angry mood said the organizers to change the card.

When enquired about his bad mood, it came to know that he was probably angry because of the questions been asked by a TV journalist.

’Teen Patti’ is slated for Feb 26 release and the film stars Sir Ben Kingsley, Raima Sen and Saira Mohan in important roles.

Abhi-Ash ranked as the most popular celebrity couple

When we talk about happily married celebrity couples, the couple which leads them all has always been Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, but this time the junior Bachchan couple defeats them by topping the rank as the most popular and favorite Indian celebrity couple in a poll conducted on the occasion of Valentine days by Shaadi.com where more than 3.6 lakh visitors made their choice over the website.

Abhi-Ash won with 32 percent votes followed by SRK and Gauri Khan who bagged in 29 percent votes. Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan secured the third rank. Though Aamir is quite popular as an actor, his fans do not seem to have a very high opinion about his family life as Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao achieved fourth rank in the competition with 9 percent votes.

It may be mentioned here that Abhi-Ash had already won the title of ‘Inspiring love story’ in the Oprah Winfrey show.

Shah Rukh Khan:I keep getting better looking

Berlin: Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, who left a trail of fans swooning at the red carpet premiere of My Name is Khan at the Berlin International Film Festival, says self-mockingly he keeps getting better looking and he would soon "look like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise".

My Name is Khan

Mimicking his character Rizwan Khan in the film, he said "There's something in my genes. I keep getting better looking - and I just can't control it. Soon I'm going to look like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. But beyond that I've no problems."

German fans from Berlin, Hannover, Hamburg and Munich thronged the streets even as it snowed for a glimpse of actors Shah Rukh, Kajol and filmmaker Karan Johar at the Friday night premiere, where the film received a thunderous ovation.

"I have never understood the love of my German fans or why Germans love Bollywood so much, but I am very thankful for it. Germany has genuinely opened a window for Indians to Western cinema. I am here to serve the audience, I am servile. My job is to make people smile," Shah Rukh said at the premiere.

Among his fans in the snow was Elke Kolloge, 50, mother of three who had come from Hannover to Berlin just for a glimpse of her favourite star.

"I just love Shah Rukh, his personality, his honesty. My husband doesn't like this at all! Luckily my daughter Lisa is his fan too. I have seen all SRK films, including Paheli, Swades, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Om Shanti Om. I really hope Shah Rukh gets the Oscar next year!"

Mani Ratnam is upset over the release of Ravaana!

Ace director Mani Ratnam is allegedly upset over the release of his latest big budget extravagance Ravaana. Reportedly, the director had planned to release this bilingual film in May, but the latest we hear is that film will hit screens only on June 18.

image007

Apparently, Big Pictures owns the rights of Abhishek-Aishwarya-Vikram starrer Raavana and Hrithik-Barbara duo's Kites. The latest buzz is that the production house had the option of releasing one of them on May 21 and the other on June 18.

Veteran director Mani Ratnam wanted to release his film on May 21 but the production house has alloted the date to Hrithik's Kites. Reports states that Mani Ratnam is allegedly upset with this development.

Mani Ratnam's big budget bilingual tentatively titled Raavana in Tamil and Raavan in Hindi. Raavana, said to be the modern adaptation of the epic Ramayana, revolves around Raavana, the ruler of Lanka, who kidnapped Sita. The story culminates with Sita supporting Raavana instead of Rama, who suspects her chastity after having spent so much time in Raavana’s custody.

Sameera Reddy’s in a de-glam avatar!

Sameera Reddy’s career has been facing a slow down since a couple of years. Lately, the hot siren has signed a project with Nagesh Kukunoor titled ‘Yeh Honsla’ in which she will be seen in a de-glam avatar.

She will portray the role of a Rajasthani village belle in this one without makeup and with a ghoonghat. Talking about her character in the film, Sameera says, “I’m looking forward to Yeh Honsla. Of all the roles that I’ve ever done, Nagesh Kukunoor’s film is ‘it’. It’s where I’ve done my best. I’m a Rajasthani girl, who takes on all the Panchayats. She’s a very strong girl – her name is Rani, and it’s this woman’s story.”

sameera-femina

About her de-glam look, she adds, “It’s like you’re bare – you have nothing to work with except your character – and the focus is just on your emotions. Being glamorous is actually much easier!”

Sameera was also seen in a new makeover in her previous film ‘Red Alert’ where she played a tribal woman-cum-Naxalite.

Sameera had won the hearts of millions with her oomph. How much she is admired in her de-glam look, is to be waited and watched.

Aishwarya Rai broken the record of Kareena

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan may have chosen to take it easy post her marriage, but a recent development in her career has made all those speechless who feel that the beautiful actress’ career is no longer on an upswing. She has broken the record of Kareena Kapoor with her whopping ten crores contract for her latest film. Earlier, this honor was with Kareena Kapoor with a figure of seven crores.

ash-kareena1

The film is to be produced Bobby Pushkarna, of the critically acclaimed film ‘Page 3′. Pushkarna was keen on cast Ash only and was determined to shelve the project if the lady did not give an affirmative nod. Finally, after a three-month long chase, Pushkarna was able to persuade her to do his film.

The deal has not yet been finalized in pen and paper but both the parties seem positive.

Katrina Kaif learns Bhojpuri

Guess Katrina Kaif's diction woes have finally rested. People around her claim vociferously that now she not only speaks in fluent Hindi (hopefully...let Raajneeti release!), but also Bhojpuri! Recently, she stunned the natives of Patna when she called out to them ‘Ka Haal Ba, Patna'! Hmm...accentuated vernacular language! Good going Kat!

katrina kaif bollywood actress 090210

Filmmaker Prakash Jha launched TV channel Morya last week with a lot of glitz and glamour. His Raajneeti actors, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai and Katrina Kaif, were present for the launch in Patna along with Bhojpuri stars Ravi Kishan and Manoj Tiwari. Jha requested Katrina to speak in Bhojpuri, the local language. A source said that considering that Katrina speaks Hindi with difficulty; she had goose bumps when she was asked to speak in Bhojpuri. However, Jha gave her three tutors - Manoj Tiwari, Ravi Kishan and Manoj Bajpai - all of whom can speak the language with great ease. Katrina was willing to learn. However, they could manage to teach her only one line, as it was difficult for her to understand. Waah! Mere tall claims, we must say! God how much people can fuss about literally nothing!

However, instead of saying ‘haal ba', she kept on repeating ‘halba', which sounded like ‘halwa'. Bajpai and Ravi Kishan burst out laughing at this and kept pulling her leg. That's when we explained to her the difference between halwa, a sweet and ‘haal ba', meaning how are you. Although Katrina took time to learn the line, she repeated it quite confidently on the dais. The crowd went berserk on hearing her. In fact, everyone was impressed with Katrina's determination and persistence. No wonder (pun intended!)!

Adnan Sami finally gets married!

Since their wide-eyed dream of getting married amidst a lot of hullaballoo fell through, they said the vows in a secret nikah. We are talking about Adnan Sami and his German-Afghan girl friend Roya Faryabi. The couple had a secret nikaah ceremony at Adnan's residence in Mumbai on Friday, January 30, a day before the wedding cards announced the wedding in Munich.
Only close family members of Adnan were present at this nikaah. A source close to Adnan said that the wedding in Munich had to be cancelled because the courts did not allow Adnan to leave the country. There are serious charges of domestic violence against him. Rather than cancelling the wedding, Adnan decided to have a flash ceremony in Mumbai. Adnan's son Azaan made all the arrangements. At first Adnan was reluctant to confirm the development, but finally admitted that they got married last Friday in a secret nikaah. And they're loving it.

adnan200

Speaking from Munich, Adnan's third wife Roya Faryadi said that Adnan is the perfect man for her. She loves not just the man but also his mother and son. In fact, Adnan's son Azaan and she get along like a house on fire. They often gang up together and tease the hell out of Adnan. Roya said that she is not the least perturbed by Adnan's past record of broken marriages. She opined that what happened in the past is the past. What she sees is a man she'd like to spend her life with. Adnan is kind, caring and gentle. She hopes they can make their marriage last forever. Like any good wife, she plans to shift to Mumbai to be with Adnan and his family. But she'll keep visiting Germany. That's where her parents stay. Roya's parents are from Afghanistan. They moved to Germany 30 years ago and hold German passports.

Bipasha was staying at Hotel Ramada Plaza where she was to reportedly attend a party to celebrate the DVD’s launch. However, when she learnt that it was also the birthday party of the hotel chairman, Ashok Mittal, she put her foot down and refused to go to the party.

A shocked Mittal tried to persuade the actress, but she didn’t budge.

Now, Mittal is accusing Bipasha of being “greedy” and alleges that she demanded Rs 30 lakh to attend the party. Mittal says it was specified in the contract that she would attend the party.

However, an official statement by Shemaroo Entertainment says: “It was never mentioned it was the chairman’s birthday. Due to misrepresentation of facts, we decided Bipasha won’t attend.”

We hear the production house gave the hotel a compensation of a little over Rs 10 lakh for Bipasha’s refusal to attend the party.

Ameesha Patel and Kanav Puri’s relationship has ended?

Ameesha Patel and her NRI boyfriend Kanav Puri’s relationship has ended. The couple had been dating for nearly three years before their relationship hit troubled waters nearly eight months ago. The key reason for their recent split was that Kanav can’t wait to tie the knot while Ameesha wants to give one more shot to her flailing acting career and marriage is the last thing on her mind.

A source said, “There has been major trouble between Ameesha and Kanav for quite some time now. While Kanav has been constantly speaking of settling down with Ameesha, marriage is not on her priority list right now. In fact, he had proposed marriage to her when he had come down to India to celebrate her birthday in June last year. Much to his dismay, Ameesha has been dilly-dallying ever since he officially asked her to marry him. Evidently, Kanav was getting quite restless.”

Another reason why Ameesha isn’t in a hurry to tie the knot is that she recently patched up with her estranged parents. “It has made Ameesha all the more emotionally secure, which undoubtedly is a good thing, but has resulted in her putting her relationship with Kanav on the back burner. Ameesha was a loner for a really long time after separating from her family and her subsequent break up with filmmaker Vikram Bhatt. She had found solace with Kanav but the emotional vacuum is no longer there and Ameesha doesn’t miss Kanav like she used to now that she has her parents and brother Ashmit back in her life,” added the source.

According to the source, Kanav had come to India in early December to once again ask Ameesha about her decision to get married to him but she thinks that tying the knot would mean professional hara-kiri and so had asked for more time.

The source said, “There is so much tension that both have stopped speaking altogether. The marriage plans have definitely gone for a toss with frequent fights taking a toll on their relationship. They have now decided to take time off from each other. While Ameesha is concentrating on her career, Kanav does not want to wait any longer and things are beyond repair.”

Hrithik Roshan as a magician

Hrithik Roshan is arguably going to be the first Hindi movie star to learn magic tricks. And the man prodding the hazel-eyed star to do so is none other than director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

We hear Hrithik plays a magician in Bhansali’s in-the-making Guzaarish. And since both the actor and the director are sticklers for details, Hrithik is actually going to learn a few magic tricks from a Ukrainian magician who has been roped in for the project.

Reports say Bhansali wanted a magician who could devote ample time to train Hrithik for the role. After much research, the Ukrainian was finalized. He’s already been once in Mumbai and has taught a few tricks to Hrithik, which the star has practiced well. Now Hrithik amuses his kids with those tricks.

But Hrithik’s real training is yet to start. The Ukrainian magician will reportedly arrive again in Mumbai in Feb and teach Hrithik many tricks.

Once the actor has mastered the sleight of hand, he will face the camera for the remaining portions of ‘Guzaarish’.

Katrina Kaif adopting a leopard cub

Bollywood’s sexiest lady Katrina Kaif is all set to adopt a leopard cub which is presently under the care of Van Vihar National Park in Bhopal.

The said cub was rescued from a village by the park officials a few days ago and named after Katrina because the cub is extremely beautiful. So when Katrina came to know about this development she made inquiries at the Van Vihar National Park and expressed her desire to adopt the cub.

Assistant director of the park confirms getting a call from Kat’s assistant last week and also clarifies that the cub’s name is spelt as Catreena, not Katrina.

The official goes on to say that Katrina will have to pay the park an annual sum of Rs 50,000 for the caring and feeding of the cub, if she indeed decides to adopt it.

Adopting the leopard cub doesn’t mean the animal will live with Kat. It just means she will be providing finances for its upkeep.

Shahrukh and Aamir labeled as “2 Idiots”!

Bollywood superstars Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan are under attack from Shiv Sena which has labeled the duo as “2 Idiots”.

First it was SRK who was under heat for supporting the inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in the IPL, and now it’s Aamir. On Friday, Aamir’s one comment infuriated the Sena, when he became vocal about the selection procedure of players in IPL and said that if he were to select players he would do so only on the basis of their performance and not nationality.

Shahrukh and Aamir labeled as “2 Idiots”!

The party’s Hindi mouthpiece ‘Dopahar Ka Saamna’ said in a statement: “In real life, Aamir and Shah Rukh have been proved as ‘2 Idiots’ as both are making stupid statements supporting the cause of Pakistani cricketers.”

The party’s MP Sanjay Raut even said about Shahrukh that if the actor was so keen on them (Pak players), “he could go play his matches in Lahore, not in India.”

Meanwhile, on Sunday, the Sena activists took a morcha to SRK’s residence Mannat. The vibhag pramukhs of Sena have also written to theatres owners in Mumbai, telling them not to screen Khan’s upcoming movie My Name Is Khan which releases on February 12.

Katrina Kaif follows Priyanka’s way

The sequel of Dostana will bring back a ‘Boom’ days Katrina… Didn’t get it? Well, the cute actress will soon sport a bikini, just as she did in her debut film ‘Boom’.

Katrina Kaif said to repeat the Priyanka Chopra act from the original, by featuring in a swimwear – that too in two scenes. Besides, in Dostana 2 Kat will be seen daring it out in never-before sizzling outfits, with a complete new look. B-town’s hot designer Manish Malhotra is said to be raking his brains to bring out the best for the lady in the film.

According to sources, ‘Dostana 2’ plans to take the fun quotient to another level and also have a lot of sex appeal. Katrina has one of the best bodies in the industry and having her sport beach wear will be a huge attraction for the film.

“She hasn’t sported the sexy look for a while. In ‘Dostana 2’, she will be seen in clothes that make her look more sexy than cute,” said sources further.

All is fine, but we wonder what Salman Khan has to say for this…..

Farhan and Deepika next hot couple on 26th February

This is what they will be soon called as, we say…..

Gossip mills are quite excited about this hot topic lately. ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’, featuring Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padkone, said to carry an intimate scene between the two.

For an actor who is not usually seen on such chemistry board, Farhan said to have prepared for the romancing beforehand. “Before shooting that intimate scene,” shared Farhan, “Deepika and I spent a lot of time together so that we can create a comfort zone between us before executing that scene. Moreover, we shot the scene in the presence of people with whom we were comfortable with.”

The fact that he is married didn’t concern Farhan as well, thanks to his ‘understanding patni’. “It wasn’t difficult as we share a great relationship with each other and she understands that it’s a part of my profession. If she would not have understood that it would have been very difficult for me to go ahead with that scene,” stated Farhan.

Let’s wait to watch this next hot couple on 26th February, 2010, when ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’ hits the screens.
