Ballz Bollywood! Hot news and gossip of your favorite Bollywood celebrities!

In her first interview since her hook-up with Ranbir Kapoor, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone dishes on her latest prey and cleverly dodges questions about former boyfriends Nihar Pandya and Yuvraj Singh.

Deepika on her newly confirmed relationship with Ranbir Kapoor:
“Yes, Ranbir and I are seeing each other. So sorry as the media will not have gossip to write about me anymore”

Deepika on whether the two had secretly been seeing each other:
“No. It wasn’t like that. Whenever Ranbir and I met, the media started speculating. Love is the most beautiful emotion in the world. Why would we hide it if we were in love then? You see, we used to meet often but that was because we were getting to know each other better. After a certain time, we drifted apart because we both got busy with our respective shooting schedules. Today, we realise that we are compatible with each other. So, we have no qualms in telling the world that we are in love.”

Deepika on being more famous for her personal life, than her professional one:
“Initially, it used to disturb my parents a lot. But now, they have realised that it’s a part of my profession. Today, everything is sorted out. Ranbir and my parents know what exactly is happening and they are very happy.”

Deepika on whether she’s still in touch with former boytoy Nihar Pandya?
“Yes. His parents have taken care of me and treated me like family. I am in touch with Nihar and his parents.”

Deepika on what went wrong between her and Yuvraj Singh?
“I don’t want to talk about that. If two people are spending time together and having dinner in a restaurant, why does it make front page news? Aren’t there more important issues in the world? But like I said, my family and I are getting used to all this.”

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. ”
 

In a recent interview with BT, Saif Ali Khan expresses his dislike with the media for labelling him and his new lover ‘The New Brangelina’, because it’s obviously a stretch to compare Saif & Bebo to those hypocritical, cheating, lying, bed-hopping, publicity hogs!

A few highlights from the actor’s brilliant interview:

Saif on being extremely open about his relationship with Kareena: “I don’t know if we have been particularly open but I don’t believe in being hypocritical, lying and hiding things. Nor do I believe in shouting from the rooftop. But I’d like people to know how seriously I take my relationship in order for them to take it seriously. I don’t want any kind of speculation about whether it’s on or not, that kind of filmi rubbish is not my scene. When I have someone in my life, why would I need to promote the image of being a single, available man? ”

Saif on whether they were married in a hush-hush wedding: “When marriage happens, I will share it with everyone. I don’t believe in doing things behind closed doors.”

Saif on wearing his heart on his sleeve: “I don’t consciously do that but it always tends to end up there, on my sleeve. And I love the way I wear it. I wouldn’t have it in any other way. ”

Saif on whether his family has met Kareena: “Yes, my parents think she is a wonderful girl.”

Saif on the two being described as the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie of India: “I think we are much cooler. We are Saif and Kareena of the world, not the Brad and Angelina of India.”

Saif on what drives him, love or work: “Love, more than anything. Work is an integral part of it. In order to sustain love you need to work. I am doing that. ”

Saif on perhaps keeping his personal life out of the media: “I give a damn to what anybody thinks. That’s how I have always been. I’m in love and proud of it. ”

Just days after her husband called her the most beautiful woman on earth, Aishwarya Rai gets personal with reporters, opening up about Abhishek Bachchan and even answering the burning question everyone has on their minds: ‘Just what on earth does she see in him?!’ Here are some highlights from a recent interview:

Aishwarya on the one thing she loves about Abhishek:
“It’s difficult to put it down to one thing. I just love him and that’s why I’m married to him.”

Aishwarya on who’s the more romantic of the two:
 “I really don’t know. We don’t get into all this. We are just very happy with each other and I think that in itself says a lot.”

Aishwarya on the most romantic thing Abhishek has done for her:
“Well, he proposed to me. To want to spend the rest of our lives together is by far the most romantic thing I could’ve experienced. It is very special, very real.”

Aishwarya on last Valentines Day:
“It was a very special time for us, as we were engaged. But it was quite hectic. I was shooting for Jodhaa Akbar and working full throttle. Going up and down to Karjat and knowing that marriage was not too far away, I was working at it all — completing the film and our marriage preparations.”

In a rare interview with the press, Abhishek Bachchan talks about turning 32, his busy schedule and, of course, no interview of his would be interesting without bringing up Aishwarya Rai.

On aging:
Thank you for reminding me. I don’t get bogged down by age. I’m just happy to be where I am.

On keeping a low profile:
It isn’t a conscious decision. Unfortunately, such is the nature of our career that we interact with the media only at an event or when a release is around the corner. Otherwise, we tend to get caught up in shootings. I’ve been travelling extensively during the past few months and had no time for anything but work and immediate family.

His thoughts on Ash:
I think she’s the most beautiful woman on earth.

On how important her opinion is to him:
I’m always very keen to know her reactions to my assignments and projects. She has very keen insight. She’s a wonderful sounding-board. I take Aishwarya’s advice just as I take my parents’ advice. They’re some great actors in the house and I do seek their advice.

On whether his opinion matters to her?
Oh most certainly. When she was in two minds about doing Pink Panther because my grandmother was ailing and this film required her to be out of the country for two months, I encouraged her to do the film. It was a wonderful opportunity for her to work with some great actors.
