Ranbir-Deepika, only good for films

ranbir-deepika1The speculation about the state Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone’s relationship continues.

Days after Ranbir Kaboor reportedly criticised Deepika’s dress sense in public and mother Neetu Singh passed her off as just a friend, it’s now the hero’s sister, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, who refuses to acknowledge the couple.

“Ranbir and Deepika are young, talented people and are quite poised and charming,” says Riddhima. When questioned about whether she accepts the two as more than friends, Riddhima says, “They make a good on-screen pair and their chemistry is fine.” But what about their off-screen romance? “I’ve never seen them together in that sense, so I don’t go by the media reports. Moreover, I stay in Delhi and don’t want to comment on this.”

Mani Ratnam's illness gives Abhi-Ash time together

If you wanted to greet the first couple of Bollywood- Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan - on their wedding anniversary, you may be disappointed. Sources confirm that Ash-Abhi won’t be in town on April 20 when they celebrate their second wedding anniversary. The family, including Amitabh and Jaya, are debating whether the couple should go to Europe or the United States.


Europe, especially Italy, is Jaya Bachchan’s favourite holiday destination. She even has a villa in Florence where she stays during her visits. A source close to the family reveals, “Jaya is suggesting they fly to Florence and spend the day there, while Amitabh is coming up with the idea of a US trip. They haven’t yet taken the final call but it will be one of the two destinations.”

Both Abhishek and Aishwarya have been working super hard for Mani Ratnam’s film Raavan for the past few months. Now that Mani was hospitilised for exhaustion, they have the opportunity to take a break while he recuperates. “This will be the first time in a very long time that they will get to take a vacation. They haven’t been on a holiday ever since their marriage,” says the source.

Last year, the couple didn’t celebrate their one year anniversary due to the demise of Abhishek’s grandmother Teji Bachchan. The source says, “They won’t be at Jalsa this year, there is definitely a mini vacation being planned.”

No comebacks for Sridevi

Sridevi, Bollywood's biggest actress in the ’80s, was last seen in 1996's Judaai and, alas, that might well be the last we have seen of her.


Rumours that the actress had been offered, and had taken up, a role by Hema Malini were denied by her husband Boney Kapoor.

“I don’t think she wants to do films anymore,” he said, “I don't know anything about these stories of her comeback. It's just a rumour.”

Reports of Hema Malini offering his wife a film, said Boney, were untrue: “Hemaji has not offered her anything, and I should know: she's my wife!"

Asked if Sridevi was closed to doing roles even if work came her way - she still looks quite stunning - Boney said, “Well, she is an actress. If an interesting role comes up she may do it, I suppose.”

But Boney hasn't cast her in his own movies. His last one was No Entry, starring Salman Khan and Bipasha Basu, which was a hit. It didn't star Sridevi, and neither does his finished but still-to-be-released Salman starrer Wanted.

Fans of Sridevi miss her effervescence. She was the last truly bubbly heroine to have graced the Bollywood screen. After a smashing career in the ’80s, when she and the unlikely hero Jeetendra notched up a series of hits, she married Boney Kapoor on June 6, 1996, and has not worked since. Born in 1963, she's now 45.
