Little Sahara Shaha must have pulled at Salman Khan’s heart strings because just days later the actor joined forces with his friends for a charity football match.
Several actors including Sohail Khan, Govinda and Ranbir Kapoor donned dark blue football jerseys to showcase their football skills against Pune XI in a tournament co-organised by the ‘Salman Khan Foundation’ to raise funds for cancer patients.

“I am not concerned with who and how many goals are scored. My focus is on the ultimate purpose of the game for a social cause and by the grace of God, it will benefit the needy,” said Govinda.
Suniel Shetty, who experienced the pain of losing family members to cancer, was also present at the event but did not play because of a bad knee. “This is for charity and a great cause, so, it’s a great reason to be here,” said the action hero.
The Bollywood team won the match with the scoreline reading 9-5.

Ranbir Kapoor better grow eyes in the back of his head, as he’s just confirmed his link-up with the notorious Deepika Padukone. In a candid interview, the Saawariya star opens up about their relationship and even reveals his most guarded secrets.
Ranbir on being linked with a gallery of gorgeous women:
“I think it’s very unfair for the women who are linked so carelessly with me. I can imagine how embarrassing it is for the girl and her family. Me being linked with Sonam Kapoor was inevitable. Every time two newcomers do a film together they’re supposed to be involved. We’ve been friends since childhood. She’s an amazing girl. Anyone would want her as a girlfriend. But we aren’t seeing one another. ”
Ranbir on being linked with Deepika in the past:
“I was. But at that time we were just friendly. We weren’t seeing each other. ”
Ranbir on when the two REALLY got close:
“While we were shooting in Australia for a month for Bachna Ae Haseenon. That’s when we really got to know each other. Then we shot a Pepsi ad together when we returned to Bombay. ”
Ranbir on whether he’s able to be professional with her when the camera is on:
“I know when to switch on and off. When Deepika and I are working together, I focus only my character. Yes, it helps the chemistry when you like your co-star. When you don’t like your co-star, that shows too. ”
Ranbir on Deepika as a person:
“Beyond all the grace and dignity she projects, she’s also very simple and shy. She has simple needs. She’s caring. And she respects her family. I really like that. Also she’s an independent career woman at 22. She’s achieved so much in so little time. I’m extremely proud of her achievements. And I’m so happy to be part of her life. ”
Ranbir on whether the relationship is serious:
“Do I look like a frivolous person to you? But before you ask, we aren’t getting married right away. Let’s see where it goes. And neither are we going to sign films just to be together. She has her career to focus on. I have mine. Coincidentally, we started our careers on the same Friday. We’ve our priorities in place. ”
Ranbir on whether he’s taken her home to mama:
“Oh yes. I tell my mother everything. So there was no way I could be in a serious relationship without my parents knowing. ”

We try not to comment too much on movies as Bollywood makes a new one every time someone breathes, but we wanted to spare anyone we could from the pain of sitting through this charade of a movie.
Saawariya, which seemed to have everything going for it - enough promotion for 10 films and two hot newcomers (Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor), turned out to be a huge shitfest!
Under Bhansali’s direction, Saawariya leaves so many questions lingering in your mind, with answers to none. The incredibly sluggish pace with its many songs makes it even harder to sit through. Constantly, shot in a dark gloomy indoor set, the visuals get tedious to watch leaving you craving for some bright light.
The cast then, what can be said? Beautiful people as far as the eye can see, most of whom could use a few acting lessons. Sonam Kapoor for a debutant delivers an OK performance. She seems to amble through the film somehow, waiting to take home her fat paycheque! Unfortunately Ranbir Kapoor is the films only saving grace with his boyish charm.
Rani Mukherjee, as usual, is her brilliant self whereas age is starting to creep up on Salman Khan. As for his role, the ex-con is completely wasted in his hardly-10-minute appearance.
But what does Sonam’s famous father, Anil Kapoor make of this dismal flick? According to sources, he’s infuriated with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and refuses to speak to the media! Ha! We hope he’s not puffing away to his grave!

The new and upcoming stars,are already tagged as the cutest couple in the industry by the Sanjay Leela Bhansali loyal media… Sonam Kapoor (Anil Kapoor’s daughter) and Ranbir Kapoor (Rishi & Neetu Kapoor’s son), we are talking about the lead pair of the much awaited movie “Saawariya”.
Apparently, the “Cute Couple” worked as assistant directors in SLB’s box office hit “Black” and hence, even on the sets of “Saawariya” these two were ordered around like ex assistant directors and weren’t pampered even a teeny-weeny bit!! Oh-la-laaa…!
Now, this lovely couple seem to have decided to act pricey with the paparazzi and that hasn’t been taken down well either by the media. We are yet to see what’s in store for the star kids!
