Pictures: The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards
June 10, 08 by Ballz Bollywood!




Pictures of Deepika Padukone and ex boyfriend Upen Patel sexing it up in bed has been causing quite a stir in the media. The admittedly sexy images are three years old and were part of a photo shoot for Wendell Rodrigues.
Now Upen is being blamed for circulating them in a bid to revive the rumours of him and the OSO girl. Even though the origin of the pictures is not known, the timing of the photos being circulated is being questioned.
Says a source close to the actress, “Why are these pictures coming out now? After three years? Right now Deepika is hot property, it can’t be a coincidence that these pictures are suddenly popping up in everyone’s mailboxes.”
Deepika is said to be very upset but Upen swears it wasn’t him. “Who ever is behind spreading these pictures has an agenda to spoil my image in the public eye but I am not at fault here.”
Despite his little plea of innocence, people insist this is just another publicity stunt of his. Here’s our question, though: SO WHAT?! Deepika needs to lighten up and take a page from Paris Hilton’s book of publicity and learn how to ‘work it’ to her advantage. If this site has taught us anything it’s that there’s no such thing as bad press. Besides she looks rather good in these pictures! What say you?

Attired in a black and beige “sherwani,” with intricate ethnic motifs at the hemline and sequin work at the collars, Ranbir Kapoor walked the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week show.
In Ranbir’s defence, he had no idea his face would be painted like the sun: “Before I came here I didn’t know that my face would be painted golden. Only when I reached the venue and sat on a chair (backstage) to get the make-up done, I got to know about it. But I enjoyed the whole experience,” he said.

Although he refused to comment on Deepika, his actions did the talking for him. When the Saawariya actor spotted his ladylove next to his mother Neetu Singh, he blew a kiss in the direction where the two most important ladies of his life were seated. The model-turned-actress responded by blushing and hiding her face behind her hair.
Ignoring the fact that the kiss could very well have been for his MOTHER, can we get a collective, “AW!” for the happy couple?!


This weekend the stars strutted their stuff at Manish Malhotra’s runway show at the Lakme Fashion week in Mumbai. Deepika Padukone posed for cameras before taking her front-row place while her man Ranbir walked the ramp.

Kajol, Urmila and Amisha also shined at the event, whereas Gauri looked like she had been in an oil bath once again. Amrita Rao was also all gussied up in black for the big show, also stopping by to see Manish’s collection.

But dare we say it was Kareena who looked the sexiest wearing an orange halter dress and a SMILE?! The otherwise saucy- faced actress had every reason to grin as it was during Manish’s last show in October 2007 that Saif publicly proclaimed his love for her and declared themselves as a couple.

Deepika Padukone & Ranbir Kapoor tried to have a quiet lunch for two in Mumbai, but they were quickly stalked by photographers on their way out. Grumpy face aside, Deepika did look rather good with barely any make-up on. We must say, for a girl who started off her career as a glamorous model, she keeps it fairly simple in her day to day.
