Akshay loses his temper, destroys the camera of a person persistently taking his pictures without permission
For all the convenience they offer, most celebrities would agree that cell phones are a nuisance. They have become yet another tool to invade their privacy. Even Akshay Kumar, known to be the most patient man in the industry, lost his temper at a happy snapper outside a five-star hotel on Sunday night.
The incident took place when the actor and his wife Twinkle left the hotel and were stepping into their car. A man stepped forward from the crowd and started taking their pictures on his cell phone.
The actor asked him to stop, as it made his wife uncomfortable, then reprimanded him for not asking permission before taking his pictures. But the man continued to click the star couple, which caused Akki to lose his patience.
An enraged Akshay walked up to the man, snatched his phone from his hand and threw it on the ground, then crushed it to pieces under his foot. Before the stunned cell phone owner could react, the actor got into his car and drove off.

The buzz around Deepika and Ranbir that had filled in the Bollywood air following the shooting of Bachna E Haseeno, disappeared right after the duo parted their ways. Why they broke up is a secret till date. For the first time in an interview, the leggy actress reveals that she broke loose from Ranbir for his straying habits.

What Deepika stated is quite contrary to the rumors that she parted from him because he had begun to like Katrina. Why was Deepika tight-lipped about the cause of their sudden estrangement? That too is a mystery.

While being interviewed by an esteemed daily, the Bollyhood hottie said that when she was in a relationship with Ranbir, she was committed to keep up with it. Being a Capricorn, she knows only to give. She added that in each of her relationships, it was the guy to have strayed.

She can turn blind to something, if it happens only one time. But she cannot ignore it if it repeats itself over and again.

However, Deepika, who is on a high over the release of her latest movie Lagangey Parindey in which she plays a blind girl opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh, is happy with her pairing with liquor baron Siddharth Mallaya. She is quite careful about her present relationship.

Once Bollywood queen Rani Mukherjee has captured the headlines most of the time for her alleged relationship with filmmaker Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj films. Now, again the news has come up that the actress is going to tie the knot in this November.

The rumor might have irritated Rani but it has again ignited the curious minds and everybody wants to know the name of the lucky man. Considering her alleged year long relationship with Aditya, the name is at the top in the list. Even the date is said to be finalized, the Mukherjee family has not disclosed it yet. It is expected to be announced after performing the traditional Mukherjee family ‘Durga Puja’, which will take place in the month of October. So, there is a strong speculation that the date will be somewhere around November.

Both Aditya and Rani have maintained their denial mode regarding their much talked relationship. It is even said that Aditya divorced his first wife to legalize his relationship with this Bong beauty.

Coming to her career in Bollywood, it does not seem to be taking any brighter turn in near future so it is the best time for the actress to settle down in personal life. Aditya attempted to re-create the magic of Rani with her latest film Dil Bole Hadippa opposite much younger hero Shahid Kapoor. She lost some kilos to look younger and match up with Shahid but nothing worked. The film did not do well at the box office and Rani’s Bollywood career got almost ruined.

However, if the marriage happens in reality and if the guy is Aditya, Rani can expect another boost from the Chopras!

Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan are supposed to be cast together in a new movie even as the magic of the couple in Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj kal continues to enchant audiences. In Love Aajkal, the duo as a romantic couple had made a splash on the silver screen.

It is Vishal Bharadwaj who has plans to rope in both Deepika and Saif to play the lead roles in his next project. The director wants to recreate the onscreen magic that the couple is still remembered for.

A source close to the director reveals that Priyanka Chopra was supposed to be cast against Saif in the project. But the director’s plan has turned over. If the grapevine stories are to be believed, Priyanka has been a favorite of the director. For her outstanding performance in Kaminey and Saat Khoon Maaf, Vishal had signed her first. But the impression of Deepika’s performance in Love Aaj kal and Karthik Calling Karthik, is no less than the spell of Priyanka’s. Vishal has secretly approached Deepika and signed her to be heroine in his next celluloid venture. Chances are that the idea of casting them together once again will click with the audience.

Rani Mukherjee, who used to be the muse for filmmaker Aditya Chopra, is no longer the director’s lucky charm. Adi, as the filmmaker is fondly called in the industry, held Rani of Black fame in high esteem as his lucky mascot until recently, when it seems the spell of another Bollywood belle has been cast on him. The new arrival in the filmy world of Adi is none other than the charming Katrina Kaif.

A source close to the filmmaker reveals that Adi has developed a liking for Katrina after New York, starring Kat along with Neil Nitin Mukesh and John Abraham, became a blockbuster last year. The words emanating from the grapevine are that being bitten by the bug that is Katrina’s beguiling beauty, Aditya has been spending quality time with her. In addition, the Bollywood beauty has been taking career tips from him as per the reports.

The buzz in the air also reveals that Katrina has walked out of Abbas Mustan’s The Italian Job because Adi thought that this is the high noon of her career and she should not do insignificant roles.

The source also informs that Kat is going to do three films under the banner of the Chopras. Katrina herself confirms that she is doing a Yash Raj film with Imran Khan and she is supposed to be cast in the female lead in Dhoom 3 under the same banner.
