Sammir Dattani's the friendly neighbourhood techie!

What is the connection between Kenneth Haywood and Sammir Dattani? No prizes for guessing as the answer is NONE! The only connection is the WiFi connection. Well ever since Sammir read about Kenneth's ordeal, where the ATS had questioned the American for over twenty one days if he had any links with terrorist outfits, (Terrorist outfits had used Kenneth's personal computer sending across an email claiming responsibility of the Ahmedabad blast to a leading television channel five minutes before it actually took off) the actor's has begun putting his knowledge of computer technology to good use. Sammir said, "After having read about Kenneth's incident of threat emails being sent from unsecure wireless routers, I have secured not only mine but also my neighbours connections. Many neighbours in my building have the WiFI connection just like me but none had taken the required precautions. I enabled them to install WPA encryption and told them not to broadcast their SSID. I also explained to them in lay man's language that not securing your network is like driving your car with the passenger seat doors being open. Gladly everyone showed keen interest in what I had to share with them and have now taken the required precaution." Sammir added smilingly, "I'm just happy that my interest in understanding gadgets is being put to good use."

I was most popular at once after SRK and Hrithik

Vatsal Sheth who seemed to have come out of the state of eclipse after his distorted debacle in Tarzan The Wonder Car, has found an unlikely one-man support-system in Sohail Khan. The two worked together and hit it off like a house on fire while playing tavelling- companions in Samir Karnik's Heroes. Since then Vatsal has been getting a hand-up from his adopted Bhaiyya. After Heroes Sohail has been recommending Vatsal for other films. He got him a plum role in Subhash Ghai's production Paying Guest. And now Sohail and Vatsal play brothers in Vicky Chopra's Seasons Greetings. Says Vatsal, "It's good to have someone look out for you. After Tarzan The Wonder Car I didn't want to do any and every film. I waited. In Heroes Sohailbhai and I play friends traveling together. He put me so much at ease I forgot I was years younger than him. We actually become buddies as we traveled together through the film.With Heroes I feel I've come of age.And now he plays my bro in Seasons Greetings." And that bonding persists. Says Vatsal, "In an industry where actors are known to steal scenes and roles from under your nose Sohailbhai has been going out of his way to be good to me. It's true he got me Subhash Ghai's Paying Guest. The role was offered to Sohailbhai. When he couldn't do it he recommended me." Vatsal is still remember for his long stint as the teenage pinup boy in the serial Just Mohabbat. "Back then when they had done a popularity survey, Shah Rukh and Hrithik were in the first two places. My character Jai in Just Mohabbat was named third, " says Vatsal. Any regrets about his career? "Just one, My film Hostel which was gritty raw film about ragging in student campuses featuring students who had actually been through the ragging, got shelved. I'd have liked that film to come out. I had worked really hard on getting the character right. But it's okay.I've lots to look forward to. I'm patient. I proved it by waiting for three years after my movie debut in Tarzan The Wonder Car for the right offers." Sohail who's shooting for David Dhawan's Do Knot Disturb in Abu Dhabi adds, "Vatsal is a lovely boy. I'm really fond of him."

Rajesh Khanna smooches Pak actress Saana

The shocking news doing the rounds is that former superstar Rajesh Khanna has gone all bold and has indulged in smooching and intimate scenes in his upcoming film in 'Wafaa'. In the film directed by Rakhi Sawant's brother Rakesh Sawant, Khanna plays a Thailand-based multi-millionaire who marries a scheming sex-starved airhostess that is after his wealth. The movie has Pakistani actress Saana Khan as his object of affection and motormouth stripper and Rakhi too will makes an appearance. He's reportedly said, "The intimate scenes are justified because we are shown as husband and wife. It is a mature love story with bizarre twists. It's a logical demand of the situations where sex plays a pivotal catalyst role and it's not for titillation. The Censor Board has cleared Wafaa with an 'A' certificate. After having acted in over 170 movies, I don't need to do a film which has vulgarity as its theme." First there was news about Khanna teasing young girls at a Mumbai hotspot. And now he's trying hard to make a comeback by playing bold roles. Looks like the man's missing his youthful days just too much. He simply can't get over the fact that once upon a time women around the country used to swoon over him! That's not all. He's also acting in the television drama 'Raghukul Reet Sadaa Chali Aayee' where Mona Ambegaonkar plays his wife. The TV director says that the script demanded that his wife should be someone much younger to him in the serial too! Seems the man is trying to forget that he's a father of grown up girls and a grandpa too now! He also wants to work with superstar son-in-law Akshay Kumar and says that it would be a casting coup of the former superstar and the current superstar. He's only waiting for a mind blowing script and Akki's approval. This guy sure is hellbent on regaining some of his lost youth!

Aamir may not like his new look but ladies do

Aamir Khan's perfection ways haven't ever been hidden. And it has come to the fore yet again! Most people especially the ladies can't stop raving about the actor's bald head-bare chest look in his upcoming flick 'Ghajini'. But apparently Aamir is not happy with his new look! Reportedly the actor feels that he couldn't give his hundred percent and could have done a far better job with his killer street-fighter look had he got the chance to train more. He's written in his blog, "So what do y'all think of the first look of 'Ghajini'? Actually I could have gotten into better shape. Had to stop training during the release of TZP, so, lost a month and a half there. But it was impossible for me to train through that period. And I was also a little careless with my diet around that time Grrr... How I wish I had found the mental strength to keep at it." This guy sure will not stop till he gets the best!
