Shamita Shetty shoes maniac

Recently it is known that Shamita Shetty hates sharing her shoes. Actually the actress has a huge collection of shoes, but she is very possessive about them. Shamita assets her shoes and maintains them very well. She cares for them like a child taking care of her new toy. Most of her shoes are designer crafted ones that she has bought from famous shops abroad. Shoes are also the reason for Shamita’s unhappiness. Shamita perpetually lands up sharing everything with sister Shilpa.
Shamita doesn’t minds sharing them because the two sisters are habitual of sharing things with each other. But some times possessive Shamita does have problems leaving her things. Especially when it comes to her shoes, Shilpa cannot even think of stepping into.

A television show inspired by Sarkar

A Television show inspired by Sarkar is coming up. It is known that a family drama is set against the background of the underworld. It tells the story of a true waaris for the position created by some senior don.
It is the story of Rudra Pratap Singh whose role is played by Ashish Vidyarthi, an aging mafia don. This Rudra is married to Yashodhara played by Indira Krishnan who has two sons, Shankar (Iqbal Khan) and Shaurya (Yuvraj Malhotra). Gayatri (Shilpa Shinde) is Shankar's wife and Rucha Gujrathi plays Shaurya’s girlfriend.
Iqbal Khan disagrees this that the promos look similar to Sarkar
He said that Waaris is the story of a family that does not deal with drugs or contract killings. It is the family that fights for the right cause.
Iqbal Khan is doing the role of Shankar in this show where he is the eldest son. He is obedient and loyal to his father. But he is also stubborn with an out of control temper. He will react 500 times more strongly than original Iqbal would. He would probably kill a person in a fit of anger.
He also said further that he is a competent actor and the character too is not that complex. He is aware that he is not a very good actor but he knows his job. They don’t get sufficient time to do any research since it's a daily soap.
It is a very nice experience working with the production house, Ugraya. Smriti is a person, who gets creatively involved in her projects. As for Ashish, he is a fantastic actor and before each scene, they discuss it and give our best shot. Choona Hai Aasmaan was not promoted right. It changed track and did not stick to the Air Force background. He had told everyone when he joined the show that he would quit if the track lost focus and so he moved out of the show.
Iqbal says that reality shows are good to watch. He keeps on getting offers but he is not comfortable doing them. Someday, he would love to host a show.

Drona promo of Abhishek and Priyanka

As we all know, the first promo of Goldie Behl’s Drona initiated airing from Sunday. It seems that because of this the promo the filmmaker got a good feedback, but the leading lady of the film, Priyanka Chopra is completely stunned and displeased, according to her close friends. The entire promo lasts for a minute, but it does not have even the briefest glance of Priyanka Chopra in it. All the way it’s only Abhishek Bachchan.
There are rumours that the first teaser promo of Drona is out and amazingly Priyanka is nowhere in it. It might be the approach of the producers to start with the promotion of Abhishek Bachchan since he plays Drona, but Priyanka as we all know is one of the top stars in the industry currently and is not awfully happy about being completely ignored. Apparently, she moped and brood the whole day when she saw the promo.
Shrishti Arya, producer of Drona, said that it is not true that Priyanka is saddened. Priyanka is a very close friend and she has loved the promo. If Priyanka was upset she would have known about it, since she has already met her twice after she saw the promo. She gave her no indication. It is all part of the promotions and she will also feature in the promo later, that’s been decided already. Somebody also said that Priyanka is not the kind of person to get affected by all this. She knows the marketing strategy of producers.
Meanwhile, the relationship between Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra, Harman Baweja is somewhat splintered. Abhishek and Aishwarya are a little allergic to Priyanka’s boyfriend Harman, and this probably rubs off on her as well. Lately, the Bachchans even enquired if Harman’s publicist had spread the story of Aishwarya being tipsy and giggly during the IIFA awards. Speculated if this has anything to do with Priyanka being left out, or is it purely a marketing strategy again

Konkona Sen Sharma and Ranvir Shorey engaged

From past many days rumours are common that Konkona Sen Sharma and Ranvir Shorey are living in together. The murmur is that they are finally going to make their association official and announce their engagement soon. The actress, who was staying with Ranvir in a rented apartment in Andheri, Mumbai, has recently bought a four-bedroom flat in Goregaon, which she’s busy designing. They’re a very ice-cold out pair and regularly host get-togethers for friends. It’s good fun spending time with them. Soon, they will be shifting into their new apartment in Goregaon. They’re quite serious about each other and plan to get engaged very soon.
However, there are others who insist that the pair actually have gotten engaged. What is confirmed, however, is that they have done Mira Nair’s movie How Can It Be? in concert. The movie, according to Ranvir, is a short film that was shot in New York. He has said that working with Konkona was fun, but has called her a “friend”. The pair has also featured in Mixed Doubles. On the engagement, the actor has been cagey at best, saying that it’s a personal choice not to talk about the subject.
Recently, however, at the ongoing Cinefan film festival in Delhi, when someone walked up to director Aparna Sen that is Konkona’s mom, and congratulated her on Koko’s engagement to Ranvir, she simply smiled and replied, “Thank you.” She, Koko and Ranvir went about together, quite like family, but none of the three spoke on the subject of the young couple’s relationship.
