Celina Jaitley engaged with Dubai-based hotelier: Bollywood actress Celina Jaitley is engaged but not married. The actress admits her relationship with a Dubai-based hotelier.
While talking to a tabloid, Celina reveals her committed status and how she got engaged last year during Durga Puja. It was a hush-hush ceremony and only a few knew about it; in fact, Celina’s grandparents too were unaware about her engagement as they are a bit conservative.
So, who is the lucky man? Celina is dating Peter Haag for the last 10 months. The actress says that her engagement ceremony was held at her house in the presence of their parents but she wasn’t keen to disclose it to all as she is a bit ‘superstitious’. The actress is quoted as saying, “Yes we are in a committed relationship but we wanted to keep it under wraps as it’s personal and everything in my life is not up for display.”
Celina was in Dubai with Peter for New Year celebration.
Manisha Koirala to save her marriage: In the new year, actress Manisha Koirala is set to make a fresh start to her not-so-smooth marriage with hubby Samrat Dahal.
The lady got married last year after a string of failed relationships, mostly with foreigners. But when she married the Nepalese businessman Samrat Dahal, she looked so happy that it appeared she had finally found her man. Didn’t turn out so, for in November she posted a message on her facebook page that indicated that not all was well in her marriage.
Things came to a head when she arrived in Mumbai and didn’t return to her hubby’s home in Nepal. Now, reports say Manisha has been counselled by her friends and well-wishers to return to Samrat. They told her that every marriage has its share of ups and downs and needs adjustments from both the husband and wife.
As a result, Manisha is now ready to give her marriage a second chance and return to Samrat in Nepal.
Box Office Report: 'Tees Maar Khan' performed below expectation: Though Tees Maar Khan got a huge opening and collected Rs 50 crore from its first week, the collection saw a heavy drop in the second weekend. This Friday’s release Bhoot And Friends witnessed just 2-3% occupancy. Tees Maar Khan fails to lure the masses and as a result its second weekend collection fell miserably. It collected just Rs 7.25 crore approx. As per reports, the drop from first weekend was around 80%. The film’s ten-day total collection is approximately Rs 56.50 crore.
This Farah Khan film is likely to finish its second week with around Rs 60 crore approx. The distributor share will be of Rs 35 crore approx. The movie is not a flop because of its staggering opening collection. With its second weekend collection Tees Maar Khan is the sixth biggest grosser of 2010-11, but still the movie performed below expectations. Its business is disappointing for its makers.
Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Isi Life Mein had very poor collections and are out from many theatres. Over all, a dull start for the year 2011!

Ranbir Kapoor-Imran Khan-Ranveer Singh now in Akshay's favorite list: After completing two successful decades in the Hindi film industry, Akshay Kumar is now definitely into the senior bracket and is counted amongst the top stars of Bollywood, despite the recent setbacks. The actor picked his favourite new generation of actors who he feels come closest to him.
The first name that Akshay chooses does not spring a surprise. It is Ranbir Kapoor, who Akshay feels is doing a fine job. Ranbir is not just a future super star but with super hit films like AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI and RAJNEETI, he is already a force to reckon with and amongst the top five actors of Bollywood. Then Akki picks up Imran Khan who has already made his presence felt in the industry with hits like JAANE TU...YA JAANE NA and the runaway success I HATE LUV STORYS and is certainly counted amongst the most promising future stars of Bollywood.
The third and last name does surprise and in fact we are sure that the newest entrant in Bollywood, Ranveer Singh, who made such a terrific debut via BAND BAAJA BAARAAT will be thrilled to bits when he comes to know that Akshay finds him very good and is amongst his choice of promising talents.
Shahid Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra back together at New Year: Bollywood's celebrated on-again-off-again couple, Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, is reportedly back together, and what's more, they are set to ring in the New Year together at an undisclosed location in Chandigarh.
Shahid, who has been shooting for his father's film Mausam near Chandigarh, will be taking the weekend off to spend time with Priyanka.
Although Priyanka's spokesperson vehemently denied this, our source insists that the couple is back together. Says he, "Shahid and Priyanka are back together. The couple recently reunited when Karan Johar SMSed them to be a guest couple on his chat show Koffee With Karan. That's when they met and sorted out their misunderstandings and problems. After they went on the show as a couple, they realised that they were in fact victims of misunderstandings created by other people.
Now that they are back together, they have decided that they need to spend more time with each other. Subsequently, Priyanka, who declined all New Year eve live performances, decided that she would join Shahid in Chandigarh."
The source further said, "They will be staying at a resort but no one knows the exact location. And in a way the two owe it to the host of the chat show who unwitting brought them together by offering them an opportunity to iron out their differences."
The two actors started dating while shooting for Kaminey. We noted that the spark of the on-screen chemistry had hardly dimmed on the show. Take your show on the road, we say.
Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan now in three films together!: They first shared their on-screen space five years ago in Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Sarkar’. Since then Bollywood has been many have been wondering when this on-screen pair would return.
Now Abhishek Bachchan and Katrina Kaif are about to reunite as an on-screen pair in almost three films. They have signed Tarun Mansukhani’s 'Dostana 2' which would be followed by Rajkumar Santoshi’s comedy and Vipul Shah’s next.
Abhishek–Katrina in comedies Director Rajkumar Santoshi is quite well known for his quirky comedies.
After ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani,' Santoshi is back with yet another comedy film starring Abhishek and Katrina in the lead.
Santoshi says, “I am really looking forward to directing him [Abhishek] for the first time. There's a very mischievous side to his personality, which has not been tapped in any film. When I wrote this script I thought of him immediately."
Again Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham will play lead characters in the gay-comedy ‘Dostana 2.’ Katrina Kaif has also been signed in to play the love interest of the two characters in the film.
Produced by Karan Johar, ’Dostan 2’ might release in the second half of this year.
Katrina eager to work with Junior B Earlier gossip columns were abuzz with rumors that Katrina had refused to act opposite Abhishek in Abbas-Mustan’s official remake of ‘Italian Job’ and had left the project citing date problems.
But now after signing consecutive films with Abhishek, Katrina has put all rumors to rest about her being reluctant to work with Junior B.
Katrina says, "I had done one of my earliest films (Sarkar) with Abhishek. And it was great fun. Somehow subsequent projects didn't work out.”
She feels that she hardly knows Abhishek as both were complete different persons when they had first shared their screen space in ‘Sarkar’.
Katrina says, “Now that we’ll be doing so much work together I guess the process of getting to know one another will happen automatically.”
Aishwarya Rai is in the fruit basket: 'Aishwarya' will now adorn your fruit basket. Grafting expert and Padmashree horticulturist Haji Kaleemullah Khan has developed a sweeter variety of guava and named it after Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai.
The new variety of guava resembles an apple in texture and is more sweet smelling and pulpier. "The new variety of guava is very different in taste, smell and look from the traditional and normal varieties grown in the country," said Kaleemullah.
According to Kaleemullah, the biggest advantage of this variety is that it has soft seeds.
"It took almost eight years to develop this unique variety of guava and no chemical fertiliser or pesticide was used in developing the same," he said.
The horticulturist, who is based in the mango-belt of Malihabad, said that to keep the product totally organic, neem oil was used as a pesticide.
"All measures were taken to ensure that the product is free from any possible side effect which chemical fertiliser or pesticide may have on fruits," he said.
Pointing out that the plant which bears fruits round the year is highly productive, Kaleemullah said, "One can get as many as 72 fruits on a 3.7 foot long tree".
Kaleemullah is known for growing unique variety of fruits especially mangoes.
In May last year, the 70-year-old Khan grafted a new variety of mango, which he named after batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
"I am a 7th standard dropout and have been looking after the family business since 1957. My family's record in this business goes back to 150 years. I am more interested in developing different varieties on a single tree and began the multiple grafting process," he said.
Kaleemullah won the Padmashree for growing more than 300 varieties of mangoes of different shapes and sizes on one tree.
The tree is about 100 years old and he started working on it in 1987 to develop the craft of growing different varieties on one tree.
He had also developed a variety of mango and named it after Aishwarya.
"The 'Anarkali' variety of mango which I developed had two different types of fruit peel, with two layers of pulp having totally different taste," he said.
