The episode of Dus Ka Dum, which aired on the Friday of June 27TH, completely baffled fans that watched it. A interesting person named ‘Laxmi’ appeared on the show to compete and Salman Khan’s uncanny warmth towards her was so very sweet. He talked with her just like any person, not the star he is and they had loads of fun on the sets. Also, another contestant who came to compete adorned the look of Sallu Miya in his Tere Naam avatar and Salman innocently tried to guess whom he was portraying. Rohil Roy? he queried. Nope. Shoib Akhtar? Nope. Surprisingly he guessed, John Abraham. But, Nope. Then he finally owned up that it was him indeed.

While several women celebs abroad have landed lucrative brand endorsements post 40, in India the age barrier still seems to be playing villain
Old is gold, they say, but it’s definitely the young and the cash rich that rule the roost today. Be it the disposal income (and a readiness to dispose it), power plays in the boardroom or larger-than-life silver screen histrionics, youth is the magic pill and everyone wants the prescription.

Now meet the villains—fine lines, the odd grey strand and wrinkles. There’s an entire (extremely lucrative) industry developed to banish these beasts, and if OTC doesn’t work for you, the options of under the knife or through the needle are ready and waiting.

The last time we saw Sanjay Dutt and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on screen was in Shabd. Though the film, directed by first-timer Leena Yadav, was a flop, their onscreen chemistry worked quite well. Now, the pair will be seen again on screen, in Mani Ratnam’s next. The film will also star Abhishek Bachchan. Incidentally, Sanjay was not the director’s first choice. He had first chosen Tamil actor, Vikram. But he roped in Sanjay because he wanted a more popular face. Apparently, Sanjay accepted the film immediately when Mani asked him. He even juggled his dates, and walked out of a T-series’s film to make way for Mani’s film. The T-series film, a romantic comedy, was to star Sanjay opposite Kangana Ranaut. It is directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, who directed the Salman Khan-starrer Lucky.

Aishwarya Rai may not feature opposite Michel Dougl as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will not appear opposite Michel Douglas in the Hollywood film “Racing the Monsoon”. The actress was signed opposite Douglas, who was in Jaipur for shooting of the film .Reportedly Douglas replaced Aish by Catherine Zeta Jones because Aish is not known globally.

Aishwarya Rai who recently was seen in theaters for her film Sarkar Raj along with Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan, has a big number of films to complete this year.

There are some hollywood release planned for next year like Pink Panther 2 where Aishwarys will be seen alongside top actors Steve Martin, Andy Garcia and Heroes actor Yuki Matsuzaki.

According to Aishwarya she might be seen in Heroes, although nothing has been finalized. Aishwarya adds that they are checking her interest in the project and she might be doing a guest role.

Aishwarya Rai, the apple of the nations eye, is suffering from German measles (Rubella infection), a viral infection characterized by fever, swollen and painful lymph nodes, and a runny nose.

Aishwarya Rai’ s manager Hari Singh has said that she will not be available for about 10 to 15 days for any promo or shooting as she is suffering from a bout of fever and is advised total rest. He confirmed that Aishwarya Rai has signed Robot and another production by Mani Ratnam, and also that she will be given a 2-month break from Shankar’s Robot when filming for Mani Ratnam’s film commences.

Aishwarya Rai is very much a part of Shankar’s Rajinikanth dream project Robot, being produced by Ayngaran International.

Sources close to the deal said that last week the actress finally signed on the dotted line.

Aishwarya is rumoured to be getting Rs 6 Crore to be the heroine of Robot. This is said to be the highest ever salary paid to an actress for an Indian film.

She has agreed to give bulk dates for the film as and when required.
