Deepika to sell chewing gum

She has ben a topper from Day 1. Be it films or endorsements, Deepika Padukone is way ahead and pushes behind those who are already a brand name. Though Deepika is a new gal in the industry, she is giving a tough fight to the established stars of Bollywood. After endorsing some popular products like Pepsi, Fiama Di Wills and Parachute oil, she is all set to associate with another brand. Deepika is going to endorse Wrigley's sugar-free chewing gum Orbit.

No tension between Hrithik and Suzanne

Putting an end to all the speculations, Hrithik Roshan takes his wife Suzanne off to a holiday in London, accompanied by their two sons. He by standing close to his family again proved those people wrong who time and again rose up issues of their differences. His over-friendly relationship with his ‘Kites’ co-star Barbara Mori added fuel on the fire that he spends considerable amount of time with Barbara and neglecting Suzanne. One of his loyal friends defended him in the following words, “There’s no husband in Bollywood who’s more faithful to his wife than Hrithik. These rumors were started by one of his former leading ladies.” Hrithik had a very hectic period recently following his mother sickness and his busy schedule with ‘Kites’, so before he kick starts his next movie with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, he is off to London to rejuvenate himself and spend some quality time with wife and children. “Hrithik will do nothing to hurt his mother or wife,” said a source, and moreover Mori was more friendly with Sussanne than Hrithik. “They went out shopping, attended events together, and there was no sign of stress between them at all.”

Farhan gifts Shilpa an interesting book

In the forthcoming episode of "Oye! It's Friday", we will get to see a whole lot from Farhan Akhtar and his celebrity guest, Shilpa Shetty. How Farhan will miss the opportunity to ask Shilpa about the hot issue of her venturing into international cricket with beau Raj Kundra. Striking a joke on that matter, humorously he has gifted Shilpa an interesting book titled "How to Manage a Cricket Team without Creating Controversy", written by former Indian coach Greg Chappell. "Both Farhan and Shilpa are very 'bindaas' (fun-loving and carefree) people. And with Shilpa having joined the IPL this year, Farhan made a little joke out of it by giving this book," a source from the unit told. So don’t miss this interesting episode of "Oye! It's Friday”, to be aired on NDTV Imagine Friday at 10 pm where Farhan will also reveal his new look for his upcoming film, ‘Kartik Calling Kartik’. The actor sports a clean and cropped hairstyle which is very much resemblance to Abhishek’s look in ‘Raavan’.

Ash-Abhi’s intimate scene dropped

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan’s intimate scene in Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’ may be an added advantage of the film but the director chose to edit it as the issue is very sensitive and it may hurt the sentiment of the religious people. Mani is playing safe by dropping the love-making session of Ash who plays a married woman and Abhi a kidnapper.‘Raavan’ is a modern day adaptation of the great ancient epic, ‘Ramayan’. Here’s showing Ash being kidnapped by Abhi and during their stay, Ash falls for Abhi. Confirming the news an insider said, “There was also a love-making scene between Ash and Abhishek in the script but Mani decided to do away with it after realising the sensitivity of the subject. Even though he may deny it, the fact remains that the film is a modern day adaptation of the epic, with the focus being on the Ravana-Sita chapter." The shooting of the film took place in high security as the director did not want any clippings to get leaked in the public.
