Divya Dutta is on a new high. The talented actress who already has a bag full of wonderful films to her credit is now looking forward to interesting work.
"I don't believe in the funda of playing lead roles" she says. "Infact, I have always played very significant roles in films and Last Lear was one of them. But what Divya is more excited about is her first Hollywood venture, The Hisss with Irrfan Khan being directed by Jennifer Lynch..
"The Hisss is my first Hollwyood venture where I play Irfan's Khan wife. The film is based on a story of nagin which is played by Mallika Sherawat. The Hiss a film being made on the subject of snake woman, who has the capacity to transform herself into a human being at will.

Speaking about working with Mallika Sherawat, Divya said, "Mallika and me are both different person and so we could bond well together. Chemistry between us was wonderful."
Apart from Hisss Divya will be seen sharing screen space with Abhishek Bachchan and veteran actress Waheeda Rehman in Rakeysh Mehra's Dilli – 6.
"I can't talk much about the film but yes, it was fun working with Abhishek Bachchan who is a spontaneous actor. Abhishek is a fun to work with. We used to often go cycling together and have sangeet session after packup. Talking about Waheedaji, I had always admired her she is a great actress" says Divya.
Besides these films Divya will be seen in interesting roles in Oh My God, Love Khichdi, Monica and Hello Darling.

Lover birds Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have ended up having their first major fight since the time, Ranbir proposed Deepika during the Filmfare Awards Nite, earlier this year. The reason for this fight has been Katrina Kaif!
Sources inform, "Deepika had heard from her sources about Ranbir's growing comfortability on and off the sets of Rajkumar Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani during the two month long shooting schedule in Ooty.
While Deepika never confronted Ranbir over it, she got very insecure when her sources from the sets of the same film reported fresh news about what was happening between the two in the Goa schedule.
It is learnt that during the Goa shoot both Ranbir and Katrina appeared more than comfortable (Vijainder-read physical) with each other than before even in front of the unit members on the sets.
Deepika headed to Goa straightaway after hearing from her source. During her one day trip she met her source and headed back to Mumbai after hearing it all in person.
When Ranbir came to know about it, he called Deepika and they both had a huge argument over the phone which ended up in Deepika hanging up on him. Since that day, Deepika has been avoiding picking up Ranbir's calls."
No we gotta see how Salman Khan reacts to this one! Ranbir calls Salman, Sir on and off the sets since the time they did Saawariya together. Katrina had earlier expressed to us her views on Ranbir as, "A very witty co-star and fun to be with on sets."For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

Neha Dhupia isn't shying away from admitting that she made quite a few wrong choices in her five year long career.
She has seen hits and flops at regular intervals but 2007 onwards; she is being seen in a different light altogether. While she is doing Mithya with as much as ease as Singh Is Kinng, soon after Dasvidaniya, she is appearing in Maharathi. A planned move?
"For me, the most important thing is the fact that I am enjoying it all. There are these so-called commercial projects and then also the other kind of films that I am doing.
There is a very definite line between the two. I am not undermining the 'masala' fare but seriously, films like Mithya, Dasvidaniya and now Maharathi are made from the heart.
These are the kind of films that are made for the love of cinema. I am enjoying being a part of both kinds of films", Neha says happily.
So the balancing act would continue? "Pretty much so", Neha says promptly, "I have to feel good with the kind of work I do and currently I am very happy.
However, let me clarify that not even for a single minute am I saying no to big commercial cinema. After all, that's where I have my maximum accessibility to audience.
These are the films that have maximum reach and more and more people want to watch them since they wish to leave their worries back home. So yes, I would be seen in all kinds of cinema."
She goes on to add, "Today when I sign a movie, I make sure that my role has to be good. Length is not the deciding factor.
Also, I don't see a project as commercial or offbeat. I check whether there is something about a project which is good. Something has to come out of it, whether cinematically or commercially.
There should be at least one set of target audience where it is guaranteed to work. This is why not you would see me either as a part of a good film or a good project."
The change doesn't seem sudden though. She would have certainly planned it all out while choosing the distinct projects that she is seen in today?
Says Neha, "If you have to look ahead, you have to see what you have left behind as well. It is plain and simple mathematics. I took two steps back to make sure that I could take four steps forward."
And what made her do that? "Honestly, I was not enjoying the work I was doing at all. But no, let me not say that I was being misguided.
Puhleeeze, they were my decisions and no one else was responsible for the work that I did. Today, I can gladly look back and say that yes, I was facing a storm but I braved it. I was making a few mistakes; I learnt from them and moved on."
The future looks good though, isn't it, what with 2009 also showcasing her in a variety of roles? "Yes, I can confidently say that 2009 would be even better.
There are movies like Raat Gayi Baat Gayi and I Am 24 which are completed and should release early 2009. Then I have also just completed Pappu Can't Dance Saala which is another amazing film.
Raftaar with Emraan Hashmi is a film I am looking forward to as this is commercial and yet so demanding as an actor. I would also be beginning work on Priyadarshan's De Dana Dan with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. So as you see, quite some variety at play", smiles Neha.For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

Now this is going to makje Salman Khan very angry. According to a latest buzz, Katrina Kaif recently got hit on the face by Ranbir Kapoor, of course unintentionally, on the sets of a Rajkumar Santoshi film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.
The incident happened on Monday evening when the stars were shooting a chase sequence. “An elaborate set was created at Madh Island and it was a chase sequence where Ranbir and Katrina were supposed to be running away from some goons.
All was fine till the point where Ranbir needed to suddenly turn around. He did that but in the bargain hit Katrina’s nose with his hand and the delicate actress went tumbling to the ground. She was in great pain but realised that it was unintentional, so she didn’t complain,” says a member of the crew.
The director had to cancel the shooting as they had to seek medical attention for injured Kat. The next day, too, Santoshi did not shoot the film but used the free time to do some decoration on the sets.
Well, Ranbir must be hoping that Salman doesn’t take this episode to the heart!For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

SRK and Gauri's love story and marriage has been the subject of discussion in Bollywood for long. The fact that the marriage of a Muslim super star with a Hindu has sustained for so long makes it even more interesting. It has been like a good example of sorts.
But the actor is not yet interested in making a film based on his real life love story.
He has reportedly made it clear, "I think I have included parts of my life in many of my films. And now if I film my own love story my wife will leave me.
It's not a great love story. But even though it might be an ordinary love story it seems extraordinary to us. I'd like to relate this to my upcoming film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
So no, I do not think I will make a film on my love story. As even if I did, I don't think Gauri would act in it. She thinks I am not a good enough actor."
We understand Mr. Khan. But wish you would also let the audience decide. After all, many think your love story is a great exampleFor Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

Fans strongly feel that besides Subhash Ghai other directors who can do justice to Katrina's looks and talent are Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Yash Chopra.
According to sources "A Sanjay Leela Bhansali or a Yashraj film starring Katrina will be a real treat for the viewers. Both the directors are known for their strong portrayal of women in different genre of cinema. Sanjay Bhansali & Yash Chopra are both world class directors. And Katrina's looks spell class.
The two would be a perfect director-actress combo."For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize
