Balancing motherhood with a career is a tricky one and Nandita Das has made a choice by opting out of old friend Deepa Mehta’s adaptation of Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie.   Though signed on to play a pivotal role, Nandita opted out. She says, “With little Vihaan, who is 6 months old now and so delightful, I did not think I would have been able to do justice to both the roles and would have felt quite torn. Pity, but as Deepa says, there is Kamagathamaru, where I am playing the female lead and as I say, there is a time for everything!”    For Midnight’s Children Mehta offered Das a guest appearance as well. Says Das, “Even that didn’t make sense as it would have been neither here nor there. I made the decision.”

Priyanka Chopra's Cousin Parineeti Chopra is Yash Raj films’ new discovery. She makes her debut in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. The film stars Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma in the lead roles and is directed by Maneesh Sharma (of Band Baaja Baraat fame). Parineeti has been with YRF for over a year in the marketing department. Given a one-off chance to audition for the film, she impressed both Maneesh and Aditya Chopra and was immediately cast for a role as one of the ladies who fall prey to the smooth-talking guile of Ricky Bahl. “I think Parineeti was phenomenal in her video test. I had no doubts that I wanted her in my film. In fact, when I worked on the script, I had her at the back of my mind, having interacted with her while she was in office,” said Maneesh Sharma.
