Both Megha and Rajveer are the lead pair in their acting debut film, Ruslaan. Our source said, “Initially, Megha and Rajveer were like any newcomers who did not know each other. Even after their Ruslaan director Mohan Sharma introduced them, they kept their distance and only interacted on a professional level. It was a shooting schedule in Kashmir that brought them closer.” Megha went out of her way to help Rajveer shed his inhibitions in front of the camera. “Rajveer would feel quite awkward enacting scenes which required him to get intimate with Megha. But, after Megha helped him get over his shy nature, the two became good friends. They gradually discovered that they were...
 
 
 
 
Shatrugan Sinha's Daughter Sonakshi Sinha Walked the Ramp for Designer Dev R Nil       Sonakshi Sinha opened Dev R Nil fashion show on October 22 at the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai, with a male model wearing the exact replica of her ensemble. Shatrughan and Poonam Sinha's daughter, confidently brushed shoulders with seasoned models as she walked the ramp for designers Dev R Nil at the Lakme India Fashion Week yesterday. Sonakshi has come a long way from being a tubby denim-clad volunteer backstage on previous fashion weeks; no one took note of her then. But that's in the past. Now she had walked the Ramp. The new well-contoured young woman could well set the ramp and the silver screen ablaze. The designer pair used chikan kari to create subtle textures along with batik printing to achieve unusual jigsaw patterns in silk Lurex, satin, linen/viscose blends, stretch cotton and jacquards. Sonakshi preferred to be behind the curtain for a long time, but now she’s ready to face ...

Pooja Bedi with daughter Aalia  Mumbai: Pooja Bedi's 11-year-old daughter Aaliya has joined the ranks of Renee (Sushmita) Sen who walked the ramp last year. The actress-hostess is quite excited with her baby girl's ramp debut and talks about her beti's first steps in the world of fashion. What has Aalia's ramp experience been like? This is her first solo appearance and she's dressed as a Rajashtani princess. I'm ext-remely excited. Earlier, she walked for a charity show with me. The designer Pallavi Jaipur, is a mother of her good friend and she asked me if I'd let Aalia walk the ramp. Did you ask her if she wanted to, or did you decide for her? I asked my daughter if she was comfortable with it and she said yes! She is equally excited and I think one should enjoy every moment and treasure such exper...
 
 
 
 
 Sonakshi to walkPsssst! It's heard that proud papa Shatrugan and mama Poonam Sinha are sending out personal invitations to close friends to come and cheer and bless their daughter Sonakshi at the Lakme India Fashion Week. Sonakshi is walking as a showstopper on 22 October 2008, at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) for designer Dev R Nil. The Sinha's invite says this is the beginning of their daughter's journey into the world of fashion. The Sinha beti has lost oodles of weight, and this is just a stepping-stone to Sonakshi's entry into the world of glamour and films. Maybe she will go from fashion to phillums soon. Wonder if brothers Luv and Kush would be in the audience too.

Now Amitabh might act in Rajnikanth’s daughter, Soundarya’s debut production, which will be a bilingual film in English and Tamil. Buzz is that a meeting was to be held between Soundarya and Amitabh to finalise the details but they had to cancel the meeting at the last minute because of Amitabh suddenly fell ill on his birthday on October 11.

Thereafter, though they didn’t work together in any Hindi film, they have always kept in touch. Whenever Rajnikanth, who is based in Chennai, visits Mumbai, he makes it a point to meet Amitabh. In fact, recently, when Aishwarya Rai was not keen to star in Rajnikanth’s Robot, Amitabh requested his daughter-in-law to accommodate dates for the film.” Recently, after Rajnikanth...
