Another model turned actor? No she is not. Infact, Neha Dhupia, the former Femina Miss India Universe, is the one who has continuously strived to carve a niche for herself in the industry by doing new and challenging roles. Whether it was a role of struggling actress involved with a goon in Mithya or whether it was a star struck undercover assassin in Singh Is Kinng, Neha Dhupia is a surprise package in every single way and one with traffic stopping good looks. She has time and again proved her acting skills; remember her mind-blowing act of a prostitute in Ek Challis Ki Last Local, yet she refrains from being typecasted.
It doesn't take a genius to figure that she is one woman who is raring to go places, and we at Bollywood Hungama are awestruck to have this bundle of energy among us live on Celebrity Chat, going one on and one with all her fans, talking about her latest venture De Dana Dan, making on her own in this industry and the Bollywood dreams she plans to make a reality.

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 7 Dec 2009 | 2:53 am "Rocket Singh will get all the respect that it deserves" - Ranbir Kapoor
It's the Ranbir Kapoor wave. Saawariya is a thing of the past and suddenly the nation has woken up to the emerging superstar who has not just delivered two back to back successes (Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani) but also found a certain respectability coming his way as an actor.
Belonging to those rare breed of newer generation actors who have also found being hailed as stars in their initial efforts itself (Hrithik Roshan is the last big name that comes to the mind), Ranbir Kapoor today finds himself in a comfortable position in the industry. With Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year coming up next and all set to be a success, courtesy names like Shimit Amin (Chak De India, Ab Tak Chappan) and Yash Raj involved, he must be a little relieved, right?
"Yes, I am and mainly due to the fact that Rocket Singh.... experience has taught me something which is that one can never be over and above a film. In totality, one has to look at the kind of respect that the film gets. I am sure Rocket Singh... will get all the respect that it deserves", he says in a confident tone.
Given the fact that the director at the helm of affairs is none other than Shimit Amin who gave Shah Rukh one of his most respected characterisation ever in Chak De India, what is Ranbir's view about Rocket Singh...?
"I can proudly say that Rocket Singh... is not just my greatest film till date but also one of the greatest films made in the recent times. Believe me, it belongs to a different world altogether", he states positively.
Coming up next is Rajneeti which seems like an altogether different outing for Ranbir when compared to the three releases he has enjoyed in 2009. Happy to have found himself in this glorious period where different films are being made? "Of course and the best part is that all these films are like chalk and cheese and have shaped up quite well", says Ranbir.
Meanwhile these are hectic times for Ranbir. He has been virtually promoting Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Rocket Singh... back to back. He was also busy wrapping up the shoot of Ranjeeti while also participating in the overseas schedule of Siddharth Anand's Anjaana Anjaani with Priyanka Chopra in the middle of it all. Given the fact that recently even Amitabh Bachchan commented that promoting a movie is tougher than shooting, does he too believe in the saying?
"Ask me", he smiles, "No really, it is no fun. Thankfully both Wake Up Sid and Ajab Prem... succeeded, so it means that I continued to talk about them even after their release. Now there is Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year arriving in a few days so I guess there is still no time for rest. Thankfully, shooting for Anjaana Anjaani acted as a breather of sorts."Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 7 Dec 2009 | 2:53 am Rakhi Sawant to appear on Perfect BrideMs Controversial Queen, Rakhi Sawant will soon be spotted in Star Plus’s Perfect Bride.

After the lukewarmly received Kambhakkht Ishq producer Sajid Nadiadwala is making another super-expensive film Anjaana Anjaani being shot all over the world.
To his surprise the lead pair Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, both riding high at the box office, offered to keep their fees at the most reasonable level.
Says Sajid, "Ranbir and Priyanka were already part of our extended family. When Ranbir's father Chintuji was working in my dad's production Hathyar, I was an assistant. That's when I got to know Chintuji and his family. Priyanka has been family from the time she did Mujhse Shaadi Karogi for my banner. So yes, they've certainly not hiked their price just because they are super-saleable today. In fact they didn't even discuss money with me."
The crackling chemistry between the duo was evident in Bangkok. Says Sajid, "Both Ranbir and Priyanka have changed their looks for this film. They hardly knew one another before the shooting. So they're getting to know each other as their on-screen romance progresses. Ranbir is entertaining on screen. But he carries that sense of fun from the screen to the sets. Priyanka was in her own shell to begin with. But her resolve didn't take long dissolve."
If everyone thought producer Sajid Nadiadwala was done with Sylvester Stallone, here's the surprise element. Stallone who played a cameo in Nadiadwala's last film Kambhakkht Ishq is now a part of the Nadiadwala family circle. Sajid Nadiadwala is certainly not done with Stallone after Kambhakkht Ishq. We don't work that way in our production house. Our bonds are for keeps," says Sajid.
Sajid's elder son Subhaan is a huge Stallone fan. The boy has kept in touch with his idol long after Kambhakkht Ishq came and went. And as producer and his crew head to the USA for shooting, Subhaan accompanies them with one express purpose.
"Subhaan is coming with us only to meet Stallone. To call him Stallone's fan would be an understatement. He isn't a fan, he's a fanatic. His day starts with Stallone's signature song 'Eye Of The Tiger' from Rocky. He knows every trivia associated with Stallone."
Sajid heads with his son for the US with an appointment with Stallone who may also make an appearance in the Ranbir-Priyanka starrer Anjaana Anjaani.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 7 Dec 2009 | 2:15 am "Rocket Singh will get all the respect" - Ranbir Kapoor - Oneindia
