Volcanic ash ruins Katrina Kaif’s plans to fly to London

Katrina Kaif was supposed to be in London to join her family for an important family function but unfortunately, the actress could not make it due to the volcanic ash erupting from Ireland enveloped major parts of Europe and paralyzing air traffic. As a result, the actress was left stranded at the airport and had to later return back home.

“It was a very important family function. And I had to attend. I never realized it’d be impossible to make it. When I reached the Mumbai airport I came to know about what had happened. I was still not disheartened because I thought at the most, I’d be delayed… as I often am. When it comes to travel, one learns to be patient at airports,” Katrina said.

“Such things are bound to happen increasingly if we continue to abuse our environment. Personally, I wouldn’t have minded missing the flight. But it was a very important family gathering. Not being part of it really hurt,” she added.

Katrina was desperate to get hold of any means to reach London and said, “I don’t care if it is by train or boat. I’ve to get to London.”

Mugdha Godse to go scary, instead of sexy, this time

Slowly and steadily, Mugdha Godse is making her presence felt in the tinsel town. She got critical acclaim for ‘Fashion’ and then delivered a hit with ‘All The Best’ and now she is ready once again with another project, this time a horror movie titled ‘Help’ opposite Bobby Deol. Directed by debutant director Rajeev Virani and produced by Sanjay Ahluwalia, the movie was shot in Mauritius.

Both Bobby and Mugdha are satisfied and pleased with the way the movie has turned out. Bobby says, “The film has been beautifully shot and must say it’s the finest horror that one will see. It’s immensely gruesome and a kind of horror, which gives you goosebumps. Help will take horror to another level.”

Mugdha, too, is excited to be a part of a horror flick. She says, “I have done glamorous roles and de-glam roles in the past. But this is like a role of a lifetime and I had to prepare real hard. My character had to be really authenticated and to admit, it was a painful experience too. Then the makeup was such that it gave me jitters. The prosthetic makeup has been done by Vikram Gaikwad, who has done makeup for films like 3 Idiots, Kaminey, Ishqiya, Delhi 6, etc.’’

Neeru Singh in a bikini on the covers of ‘Showtime’

As Neeru Singh makes her presence felt with her bold and beautiful act in her debut film ‘Prince’ opposite Vivek Oberoi raking moolah at the box-office, she is all set to soar the temperatures even higher as she appears on the cover page of ‘Showtime’ this month in a two-piece bikini and not that the actress has any apprehensions about it.

About her bikini act, the pretty lass goes on to say, “My only concern was that I didn’t want to look like a fat ass in the bikini. I would be strutting around in a bikini at any given time. I have no apprehensions of wearing it at all.”

About her exit from the small screen and her plans for the silver screen, Neeru says, “I wasn’t happy and I wasn’t growing on TV so I decided to leave it. The money maybe good, but I never ran after that. I was the only fool who left TV when I had just started making money.

I have been in love with films for as long as I remember. I practically used to watch three films everyday. I hardly went out and played and didn’t have many friends. You could call me a screwed-up kid.”

Will Preity Zinta sell IPL stake and redevelop Kamalistan Studios?

Preity Zinta is not only one of the most sought and eligible single lady in the tinsel town but also one with the heaviest pocket. Although her team, Kings XI Punjab, did not fare very well in the tournaments, her stake in her cricket team alone is valued at around Rs 350 to Rs 400 crores. This adds to the fact that the bubbly actress is also in all probability going to inherit the property of Shandar Amrohi, who is one of the co-owners of Kamalistan Studios (worth Rs 600 crores) that originally belonged to Meena Kumari and Kamal Amrohi.

Preity was considered to be his adopted daughter by Shandar and since the dispute over this plush property remains unresolved, it is leading towards an out-of-court settlement.

The buzz doing rounds these days is that Preity will acquire Kamalistan Studios and will then sell some part of her IPL stake and redevelop the Kamalistan property alongwith a high-profile builder from Pune. So, we have the actress literally floating over money these days!!
