Playboy hottie makes Bollywood debut

Directed by Prashant Chaddha (Aap Ka Surror), the film stars Sachin Joshi (the Managing Director of an energy drink endorsed by Shah Rukh Khan) and Arya Babbar. The beauty had to train from a professional artiste for the role. She says, "Learning from a sand artiste from Belarus was an amazing experience. It's an intricate art more difficult than oils and watercolours on canvas as sand keeps shifting all the time. One's concentration has to be sharper and more focussed."

Bollywood gets X'massy - This is how hotties will celebrate the big day!

'Tis the season to be jolly. Christmas spells Santa's gifts, mistletoe kisses and togetherness. And B-Town folks, like every year, ring in the yuletide in their own way. Here's a look at what the stars are doing for X'Mas... Kareena Kapoor The star will celebrate it in style by having roast turkey and Yorkshire pudding for lunch on Christmas Day with beau Saif Ali Khan, mother Babita, sister Karisma, niece Samaira and nephew Kiaan. Says Bebo, "Christmas is always a very special occasion for me. I take the day off and spend it with my family. We attend midnight mass at St Andrew's Church in Bandra." The actress is using the same Christmas tree that she had shipped from Harrod's in London last year. Saif will be putting up all the Christmas decorations. They don't throw away their Christmas fir trees but preserve them for three years. This year, Samaira has put in a special request under her Christmas tree. She wants Kareena to give her a doctor's set and the aunt has already got it for her! Katrina Kaif She normally travels to London to be with her sisters and mother for the festivities. But this year, it will be a working Christmas. Apart from shooting for an ad, Kat will also be busy with the promotional work of Tees Maar Khan as well as the shoot of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. The Dutts The couple will celebrate Christmas with Sanju's sister Priya Dutt and her husband Owen Roncon at their Bandra home. Joining them in the festivities will be sister Namrata and hubby Kumar Gaurav. Incidentally, the Dutts celebrate all festivals. Malaika Arora Khan Malaika and her sister Amrita Arora Ladhak celebrate Christmas with their mother Joyce. Munni has taken four days off from her Jhalak Dikkla Jaa commitments. They begin with a Christmas dinner followed by midnight mass at St Andrew's church in Bandra. On X'Mas Day, a sumptuous lunch is lined up at their mother's home. Lara Dutta The actress is completing all her work and will spend Christmas with her family in Bangalore. Anil/Sonam Kapoor Anil and Sonam (she's got a day off from Pankaj Kapur's Mausam) will celebrate his birthday along with Christmas at their Juhu bungalow with the entire Kapoor khandaan which includes Boney and Sridevi, Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor and their children. Kangna Ranaut It's a white Christmas for her as she is in New York shooting for Happy New Year. Shilpa Shetty The actress is in London with her family and husband Raj Kundra celebrating Christmas at Raj's Yorkshire manor. Bunty Walia The producer loves to soak in the festivities and has erected a huge Christmas tree at his home. Eesha Koppikhar Last Christmas, Eesha and hubby Timmy Narang were travelling but this time, she is celebrating Christmas at her in-laws' place. The actress personally decorated the tree and her mother-in-law loved it.

Katrina and Ranbir to split due to this girl?

The Kapoor boy's bonding with co-star Nargis Fakhri, is causing trouble between the pair Ranbir Kapoor is moving to newer pastures. The actor is currently fascinated by his Rockstar co-star Nargis Fakhri. While his blow hot -blow cold status with Katrina Kaif continues, Ranbir seems to be cementing his relationship with Nargis. Sources reveal that Kapoor has already told close friends that he 'likes' Nargis and wants to give their developing relationship a chance. Yeh dooriyan... While Nargis is getting to know him better, Kat is slowly and steadily distancing herself from RK. In the last two months, Ranbir -Katrina have had many arguments and fights due to his growing proximity with the newcomer. A source reveals, "Kat feels that Ranbir isn't coming clean about his relation with Nargis. While he maintains they are working co-stars, she can sense there's more. The growing tension between the two got public when the Kapoor lad was heard screaming into the phone on the Rockstar set with Kat at the other end of the line. Sajan re jhooth... The fight started when Katrina was informed that the Kapoor lad had gone to drop Nargis at her friend's place, while he had told her that he was busy at an ad shoot. "Ranbir doesn't want to commit to his co-star yet, but he's admitted to some close friends that there is a possibility of him getting serious. Apart from spending time with her, he's also been recommending her to producers." Mera jawab Kaif feels that RK shuts himself off after a fight and doesn't communicate. While she believes in resolving a conflict, he chooses to ignore it and move on. Buzz is that the actor plans to take the new gal in his life to his sister Riddhima's house during the New Year's where the entire family will be celebrating. Is this his answer to Kat heading to Dubai to ring in the New Year? Courtesy: Mid-Day.com
