Sonam kapoor has been hospitalized

Name and fame don’t come easy. One has to pay a heavy price for it. Many Bollywood actresses from Katrina Kaif to Kareena Kapoor to Priyanka Chopra had fainted on the sets of their films in the past due to exhaustion. The latest to face health scare due to over work is none other than actress Sonam Kapoor.

The news is doing the rounds that Sonam was admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai yesterday after she felt weak due to acute exhaustion. She has been travelling from one place to another shooting for her films Mausam and Players. Adding to her woes, she has to promote her forthcoming film Thank You aggressively. This seems to have affected her health.

Well, someone should remind the actress of the old idiom ‘Health is wealth’. We at One india wish her speedy recovery!

Katrina Kaif 'Disturbed' By Tax Raid

Katrina Kaif has slammed reports she is under investigation for tax evasion, insisting she is "disturbed" by the accusations.

The Indian star hit the headlines earlier this week (begs24Jan11) after representatives for the country's tax authorities confirmed officials had raided the offices and homes of Kaif and her peer Priyanka Chopra, in addition to a number of other top Bollywood names.

Tax department director-general D.P. Gaur confirmed on Monday (24Jan11) that properties belonging to the actresses were "being searched and whatever materials are procured will be recorded for further action", but refused to go into further detail.

However, a "disturbed" Kaif has hit out at the claims and she is adamant all her tax payments are up-to-date.

A statement issued by her accountants adds: "Katrina is fully co-operating with the (tax) department, whom she holds in high regard."

Kaif is said to earn $670,000 (£446,670) per film.

Akshay-Katrina in Tees Maar Khan

Akshay-Katrina in Tees Maar Khan

Here is good news for those of you who are eagerly waiting to have a glimpse of the much-hyped film Tees Maar Khan. Akshay Kumar has posted the theatrical poster of the film on his Twitter page. It has him and co-star Katrina Kaif leaning from a goods train.

Katrina Kaif can't make love and Ranbir Kapoor can't say fuck

The tension over the censoring of Raajneeti is over. But not without some vital scenes featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal getting the chopper. Arjun Rampal's love-making scene with Katrina has been reduced drastically.

Says the director Prakash Jha regretfully, “It was a very aesthetically shot love making scene. Arjun and Katrina are two very beautiful people.And they made love to the camera. The Tribunal felt it was a bit too explicit for a 'UA' audience. I didn't argue.”

However Katrina who had dropped her normal inhibitions for the sake of her role and character is none too pleased with her labour of love-making going to waste.

But the director can breathe easy now.Prakash Jha's week- long battle with the censor board ended on Tuesday with the Tribunal viewing the film and granting it a 'UA' certificate. Jha had challenged the censorboard's decision earlier last week to grant Raajneeti an 'A' certificate with cuts.

Apparently the censorboard had earlier objected to two sequences one showing the rigging of elections by fitting ballot boxes with specially designed gadgets and the other showing a female politician offering sex in exchange for an election ticket.

Jha wouldn't listen to any talk of cuts with the censorboard.

Says Jha, “An 'A' certificate brings on a specific mind-set on the audience. They think the film has sleazy content. So I preferred to let the film be referred to the Tribunal.”

Jha sees the reduction of the Katrina-Ranbir love-making scene as a blow.

“The love scene was absolutely essential. Unlike other directors I had not shot extra footage so that the censors could take away whatever portion they liked.

I had shot the love-making scene exactly the way it was meant to be. I've had to reduce it by half.”

Says Jha, “It's a disappointment to all of us. I've also had to beep out the F… word uttered by Ranbir and Arjun Rampal in two different places in the plot.

Ex-justice Usha Mehra who headed the Tribunal requested me to do away with the f…k word. It didn't make a difference.”

Incidentally several recent Hindi films were plastered with expletives in Hindi and English.

Also Arjun's volatile character in Raajneeti shouts lurid and graphic expletives Hindi at a police officer. These remain intact while the 'f' word is gone.

Katrina Kaif dumped for Kareena

Katrina Kaif has become the first victim of the recent thaw between Abhishek Bachchanh-Kareena Kapoor relationship. The pretty lady who was touted as Priyanka Chopra's replacement in upcoming Dostana sequel has now been dumped for Kareena Kapoor.

Kareena has just completed ‘Kurbaan’ with KJo’s production house, and is currently working on ‘Stepmom’, co-starring Kajol, by the same banner. And the buzz is that she is all set to take over the leading lady’s title from Priyanka Chopra in the ‘Dostana’ series.

The film will now see none other than Bollywood hunks Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham wooing Kareena, not Kat or Piggy Chops. Although Bebo hasn’t been on good terms with both Abhi and John previously, the actors have now agreed to work together.

On the other hand, refuting the rumours of Katrina’s ouster from the much-anticipated venture, director Tarun Mansukhani said that he had never finalised Katrina for this one. “How could I finalise anyone until I finished the script except John and Abhishek who are an integral part of the ‘Dostana’ brand, ” he asks. About casting Kareena, the director said, “We are almost done with the script. At the moment I’m neither confirming not denying Kareena’s presence.”

I'm a big fan of Kareena Kapoor says Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif is going ga ga over Kareena and their bond. Recently giving an interview to a news channel Kat was excited to talk about her friend. Not many people know that both the vivacious actress shares the same manager too.

“She is very nice girl and I like her as well as her work. We even shares one manager and I am a big fan of her,” says Katrina.

There had been news in the industry about their cold war but with this statement of Kat, she is putting it all the rumours at rest.

Kareena Kapoor was the unchallenged queen of B-Town at as far as her price was concerned. But Katrina Kaif started competing with her at every turn: with the price, the number of film, as well as endorsements.

“Whenever we meet each other she talks with me very nicely and I too love her company. I really do admire her as one of the great actress in the industry,” she states in the interview to the entertainment channel.

Looking at this statement it seems the cold war between the two actresses has ended. All’s well that end’s well is what we can say in this case.

Saif-Kareena avert clash with Akki-Katrina

Karan Johar has made a wise move and decided to release his next production, Kurbaan, a week prior to its original release date.

Kurbaan, starring Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor was supposed to release on November 27th along with De Dana Dan, starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif.

However, they shifted the release to November 20th as no other film is releasing on that day and they don’t want to clash with any other film.

Director Rensil D’Silva says, “We will be releasing Kurbaan on November 20 as no other film was scheduled to release on that day. We want to avoid a clash with any other film. Why not release solo when we have an empty slot? Clashes don’t help anyone.”
