Now I love her, now I don't

The new year has begun on a rather sweet note for ‘estranged' lovers Shahid Kapur and Priyanka Chopra. After having been spotted in South Africa and Goa together, the duo reached Mumbai on the same flight from an international show only to encounter a group of presspersons at the Mumbai airport last week. Probably delirious in each other's company, Sasha and Piggy declared themselves a couple to the reporters! But soon good sense dawned and though both of them left for Sasha's residence later in the same car, the actors pleaded with the photographers not to take pictures of them together. So much for transparency!

A rose by any other name

Do you remember Mimoh? Possibly you will when you're told his surname is Chakraborty. He is veteran actor Mithun's son and has had a bad start in Bollywood. But now something's going to change and, for starters, it is his name! We gather now that his name has always been Mahakshay and Mimoh was just his screen name (though wonder why anyone would like to be called so). Now he wants to revert to his original name. So in Vikram Bhatt's next, a path-breaking 3D horror film that has been shot in 3D style rather than being converted from 2D, Mahakshay Chakraborty plays the lead. Good luck!

Husain's latest muse

Anushka Sharma, who made a modest beginning in Bollywood, in spite of making her debut with Shah Rukh Khan in “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”, has finally found her place in the sun, post her last release “Band Baaja Baaraat”. At least if becoming painter M F Husain's latest muse is considered so. After Madhuri Dixit and Amrita Rao, Husain now seems to have zeroed in on Anushka and thinks she is the ‘epitome of Indian beauty'. Goodness! What next?
