Katrina Kaif, Kangana Ranaut's Celebrity Tantrums!: Bollywood stars are known to be travelling long hours due to their busy schedules and this makes them as exhausted as ever and if not that then their different tantrums are something which the air staff have to bear with utmost courtesy.
Two such stars on the list of the most frequent travelers are Katrina Kaif and Kangana Ranaut.
According to reports in a popular tabloid, Katrina Kaif recently had shown her tantrums on a flight when she was travelling for the promotion of her film Tees Maar Khan. The actress had reportedly fallen asleep as soon as she had boarded the flight.
So, when the hostess announced twice over the system for Katrina to please fasten her seat belt, the actress did not do so as she was fast asleep, the hostess had to come forward and tap on the actress shoulder to wake her up. Katrina woke up and yelled at the stewardess for touching her so. There was quite a commotion in the flight, which only cooled off after the hostess apologized to the star. Katrina fell asleep immediately after that.
Kangana Raut too has her share of celebrity tantrums. As Kangana travels with her assistant who travels economy class, the hostess is made to ask him what Kangana’s food preferences would be and then come back to the executive class to serve the actress, it becomes extremely tiresome for the air staff to keep up to the tantrums of Kangana Ranaut.
Well,both these reports have been denied by the actresses spokes persons and it is being said that this is all just rumors going around. Well, stars and their starry tantrums! Or is it the traveler’s itch that brings out this behaviour?
Madhuri Dixit says NO to Anil Kapoor for his next film!: Madhuri Dixit refused to play mommy to Anil Kapoor’s daughter Sonam in the desi remake of Mark Water’s film Freaky Friday.
Said a source very close to Madhuri, “When Anil Kapoor offered her Sonam’s mother’s role Madhuri was in two minds. She felt hesitant about playing mother to a girl in her 20s.
At the same time, Madhuri also felt awkward about turning down Anil’s offer, an actor with whom she has shared a very warm relationship in the past. So she decided to first watch Freaky Friday. But yesterday Madhuri decided that the role would not suit her, especially after her last abortive attempt at a comeback in Aaja Nachle. Many protest posts were put up on a social networking site against Madhuri playing mom to Sonam.”
Says Madhuri’s Indian business manager Rakesh Nath, “After much thought Madhuri has decided not to do the Indian remake of Freaky Friday. She will inform Anilji about her decision as soon as he returns from South Africa.”

'Hostel' Movie Preview in an one eye: Anyone who’s been to college, or even to a boarding school, has witnessed ragging. Sometimes, what begins as banter turns into something altogether ugly when ragging is taken to an extreme. Director Manish Gupta’s film Hostel tackles this theme. It is a film about a student played by Vatsal Seth who enters a notorious hostel and is ragged by his seniors. It's not just about one incident but a string of incidents. It shows how students are tortured and harassed in the name of ragging.
Hostel stars Tulip Joshi as Seth’s love interest. Mukesh Tiwari plays a supporting role.
Director Manish Gupta, known for writing hard-hitting scripts like Sarkar and The Stoneman Murders, says about Hostel: “There are many suicides that occur in Indian hostels due to ragging wherein students are beaten up, stripped, paraded naked, starved, tortured, molested and even raped by their seniors. Since victims of ragging find it humiliating to report sexual abuse to their parents or others, most ragging-related crimes go unreported. HOSTEL deals with the serious issue of ragging and through this film I want to show the world what actually a victim of ragging goes through.”
