Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Khemu Engagement

“I am not getting engaged to Kunal yet,” says actress Soha Ali Khan, determined to put an end to rumours of impending nuptials with boyfriend actor Kunal Khemu. Soha and Kunal have been dating for two years. Kunal has, however, met her parents, she reveals to HT City at the launch of Viva mobiles. “He has met my family, but there was no formal introduction. My parents come down to Mumbai quite often and Kunal and I spend a lot of time together, so their paths have crossed. Both of us were in Delhi recently for the Couture Week, so I went home for dinner and he came as well, but these meetings were not been planned, they just happened, so there is nothing statement-like about it,” she clears.

Her brother Saif has tattooed Kareena’s name on his wrist, but Soha does not want Kunal to do anything like that. “I wouldn’t ask him to do that ever. I change my mind so frequently—a tattoo is too much of a commitment and too permanent...and I will probably get bored of it anyway,” she laughs.

Shakti Kapoor's daughter Sharaddha Kapoor in Yash Raj Film's next movie?

After giving break to Anushka Sharma, Yash Chopra has entered into a three-film deal with Shakti Kapoor's daughter Sharaddha Kapoor. The actress' debut movie Teen Patti sank without a trace. If reports are to be believed, the latest Kapoor babe on block said no to Madhur Bhandarkar, as she had already commited to YRF. Bhandarkar’s film, Dil Toh Bacha Hai Jee stars Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi.

According to sources, Shraddha will be doing films exclusively for the Yash Raj banner till she completes all her three films. The contract was finalised a few days ago.

If all goes well Shraddha will soon be working with Shahid Kapoor and Ranvir Singh.

Good going Shraddha!

Sonam Kapoor refuses to kiss Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor had kissed his heroines in most of his films but Sonam Kapoor who is only few films old straightway refused when she was asked to lip-lock Shahid Kapoor during the Scotland shoot of 'Mausam'. According to Sonam, the kissing scene was nowhere in the script. When the script was narrated to her by Shahid?s father Pankaj Kapur, he did not mention any such intimate scene. So, she lost her cool when was asked to do the same at the last minute and hence she flatly refused.

A source from the unit said, "Sonam was taken aback when the director (and co-star Shahid`s dad Pankaj) told her about it. She flatly refused."
However, Sonam became more annoyed when she came to know that it was Shahid's idea to add the kissing scene. When she was asked to do the same, she lost her temper and created a scene on the set of 'Mausam' making situation difficult for others to control. Unable to deal with the situation, Pankaj later called her dad Anil Kapoor to calm down his daughter.

Interestingly, the source further added, "It was at Shahid`s behest that a kissing scene was created. He put forth the idea to his father who complied with his request. Shahid feels that like Aamir Khan he, too, should kiss all his heroines. He felt it would add more passion to the scene."

However, Sonam said, "There was no kissing scene in Mausam. It`s complete fabrication that I refused to do such a scene."

But the source says, "When Sonam realized that it was her hero`s demand, she became even more adamant about not doing the kiss and was in no mood to listen to anyone on the subject."

Sanjay Dutt is mad with Vidya Balan

Sanjay Dutt 'returns the favour' to Vidya, who bailed on the Dhamaal 2 producers at the last minute, leaving them in the lurch

Vidya Balan has lost out on the solo heroine role in Sanjay Dutt Productions' (SDP) first film Rascals directed by David Dhawan, the reason being she had walked out of Dhamaal 2 opposite Sanjay Dutt because she didn't want to be part of a set up where there were two heroines and four heroes.

Vidya agreed to do Dhamaal 2 with Dutt and then quoted a fee of Rs 1.5 crore which the producers (Inder Kumar and Ashok Thakeria) felt ws too inflated. They refused to pay it and the actress used that to walk out of the film. Now Mallika Sherawat has been signed for the same part.

Sending out feelers
When Vidya came to know Sanjay was launching his home production Rascals, she started sending feelers to director David Dhawan. She wants to be a part of this film as it is a solo heroine project with three heroes -- Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt and another actor who is yet to be finalised.

But Sanju didn't want her in the project. He was miffed with her for refusing the Dhamaal sequel when he's worked with her in Lage Raho Munnabhai, one of the biggest hits of her career.

Also the role in Rascals is of a very hep, modern and youthful woman and everyone felt a fresher face would be better suited for it. So David, Dutt and his business manager and CEO of SDP, Dharam Oberoi narrowed their choices down to Lara Dutta, Anushka Sharma and Kangna Ranaut and finally signed Kangna.

David Dhawan says, "Though Vidya is a fine actress, she didn't suit the role and that's why we didn't take her for Rascals. It's a comedy and we will work together in another film. Vidya is a good friend of mine and I am sure she doesn't mind."

Dharam Oberoi says, "Vidya was one of the contenders and she was very excited about the role in Rascals as it's a solo heroine one. She told David she wanted to do it. I never contacted Vidya at all.

She was always in touch directly with David. Lara Dutta and Vidya Balan were keen but Kangna got the role. We haven't finalised a third hero as yet."

Vidya Balan remained unavailable for comment.

Salman Khan to host Bigg Boss Season 4

After all the buzz that superstar Shah Rukh Khan is going to host the next season of "Bigg Boss", it is now confirmed that his arch rival Salman Khan has been roped in to replace megastar Amitabh Bachchan for the fourth season of the popular reality show. 

"Salman Khan has been finalised as the host of the next season. We will announce the development officially soon," a source from entertainment channel Colors told IANS.

Earlier, grapevine was rife that either Shah Rukh or Akshay Kumar are being zeroed in on as the "Bigg Boss 4" host since Amitabh gave a nod to the upcoming season of "Kaun Banega Crorepati", to be aired on Sony. But now Salman's entry on the show will be officially announced at an event in Mumbai Tuesday evening.

Considering that the channel has plans to launch the show in October, there might also be a clash with "Kaun Banega Crorepati 4", the promos of which have already gone on air.

However, the source said: "We are not sure when exactly will the show go on air, but we plan to launch it in October for sure. The dates are still to be worked out."

"Bigg Boss" is the Indian version of popular British reality show "Big Brother". It has celebrity contestants locked in a house under the surveillance of multiple cameras for a period of three months without any contact with the outside world.

Its past three seasons were hosted by Arshad Warsi, Shilpa Shetty and Amitabh, respectively.
