If you are a regular visitor, then you would have noticed that we love publishing interviews – partly because we get to hear from our favorite stars themselves, but also because it’s the perfect way of putting certain rumors to rest. That’s exactly what Kajol (once again) attempted to do in a recent interview, when asked about reports of a feud brewing between her and Rani Mukherji. We suppose she believes if she keeps repeating the phrase ‘we’re fine’ a number of times, people may just start believing her.
Kajol on Rani Mukherji: “Please! There is no cold war between us. What do you think we are? America and Iraq? I meet Rani during Durga Puja and she is a sweet girl and a fine actor”.
Kajol on Being Short-Tempered: “Yes, I have learnt to control my temper. I think it all began when I conceived my daughter. I haven’t exactly achieved nirvana but I have changed from what I was when I began my career at the age of 16.”
Kajol on using the media: “I see it as a necessity for sure especially when I want to promote my upcoming films. But otherwise, it’s very evil (laughs). We are bound to have paparazzi, and we shouldn’t hide our faces in the sand to run away from reality. “

Aishwarya Rai may be keeping mum on pregnancy rumours, but her father-in-law can’t quite contain his excitement. After months of speculation, an ecstatic Amitabh Bachchan confirms that Aishwarya is in fact two months pregnant (yay!!).
“We wanted to wait for the right time to announce the good news. But yes, Pari (Aishwarya) is with child and the family could not be more excited,” says Amitabh in an interview to air tomorrow.
The mum-to-be is said to have pulled out of a movie with Tamil actor Vikram, because the filming schedule “would have clashed with her pregnancy.”

Lara Dutta says she’s happy being single, shares a healthy relationship with her ex-boyfriend and denies getting some Italian style amore. Nothing too exciting! Here is more:
How does life look to you?
I’m single, happy…I love my life.
How single are you?
I’m completely, blissfully single. Every hero I work with, I’m linked with. They’ve also been trying to link me with some Italian businessman. They found some half-baked picture on the internet. Rubbish! There’s no Italian or Indian boyfriend. I’m very happy to be alone.
Is it embarrassing to be linked with married men?
No! Not when they treat you like a chum. I never let it affect me. I do enjoy the company of men. And I’m not going to get inhibited at the thought of being linked with one of them the next morning.
How’s your equation with Kelly Dorji?
Wonderful. We’ve spent so many good years together. No one can take away those from us. Kelly and I know each other too well to drift apart. There’s a lot of mutual respect. And that will always remain.
It’s very natural for the hurt to remain between a couple when a relationship as intense as ours ends. For a while, it was natural for both of us to withdraw. But that doesn’t stop us from looking out for each other. A relationship as long-lasting as ours goes way beyond a romantic notion.
Are you looking out for another relationship?
No, I’m not. There’s no one whom I’m even remotely interested in. And I’m in no hurry. After nine years, I’m alone. And I’m enjoying it. Right now, I’m so crazy busy. I’m running around like a headless chicken.
I’ve just been trying to keep sane (laughs). I’ve been training vigorously for a film that I’m doing with Akshay and Sanju. I’m finally doing an action film. Akshay has asked me to be part of this film. This is a super-actioner. It’s called Blue because the producers wanted to keep it simple.

In an extremely rare interview, silver screen beauty Dimple Kapadia talks about her life today and also about her beloved son-in-law – even though interviews don’t seem to be one of her favourite things.
Dimple on upcoming projects: “There’s Phir Kabhi with Mithun Chakraborty which is complete. I’m also doing Milo Toh Sahi by Kabir Sadanand, the casting for which is still on. Then there’s Zoya Akhtar’s directorial venture, in which her brother Farhan Akhtar’s playing the male lead. It’s a funny take on the Bombay film industry.”
Dimple on there not being enough movie roles for her: “I’m doing one or two films a year. But I’m quite happy with my pace of work. At this age, one doesn’t really get good offers. Roles are mostly written for the new generation. But I consider myself lucky to have got roles in films like Being Cyrus and Dil Chahta Hai . Doing only a few films leaves me time to do a lot of other things.”
Dimple on Akshay Kumar’s success: “My chest swells with pride whenever his name is mentioned. I feel very happy for him and am extremely proud of him. But it’s not just because he’s my son-in-law. I have always believed in him and God has been kind to him. He’s very hard-working and disciplined.”
Dimple on being called beautiful at 50: “People say I’m stunning, and it becomes true. But I don’t do anything.”

The Khan with the original six- pack has spoken, and he makes it clear that he does not see what the big deal is with the current craze. For Salman it’s a case of “been there, done that”.
Salman on any and every actor gaining a six pack: “Even a malnourished person or a mazdoor can have a six-pack. What is important is to have a good muscular body and then move on to get a six-pack! And a stronger mind is more important than a strong body. Training the mind is a lifelong pursuit and without a strong mind, you’ll lack the willpower to get a strong body.”
Salman on always finding time in his busy schedule to hit the gym: “I work 18 hours a day and can still find the time to hit the gym. It’s time management,”
Salman on when fans ooh-and-aah over his bare torso: “I feel like a tiger in a cage at the zoo. Every child who passes that cage tells his mother, ‘I want to look at the tiger, Mom’. But I also know that the day this fascination is over, it’s all really over then. So, I’m thankful that I’m in this zoocage-tiger situation,”
Salman on why he exercises: “I have to keep looking good. And I have to look as good as my fans want me to.”
