It is made in big quantities as it is distributed to a whole list of people who request her for it.

EXCLUSIVE: Shraddha Kapoor ahead of Alia, Parineeti in BO Race  [Monday, September 30, 2013]

As these days we see our B-Town is booming with youngsters and there are several budding and young stars on the field, seems like it's high time the superstars step down from their mantle and make way for these latest ones... While young and handsome actors are fighting their space for top slots at box office, the pretty fresh ladies are no less either. If our film industry uses box office numbers as a device to measure ranks, then among the B-Town princesses Shraddha Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Parineeti Chopra, it looks like Shraddha Kapoor is winning the race. These gen-next young beauties of the industry are very promising and they are putting in a lot of efforts into passing the exam with flying Colours each time. On an interesting note, all the three share a common factor; which is the fact that they have individually worked with big banners - YRF, Vishesh Films and Dharma Productions. Taking a look back, Shraddha for her film 'Aashiqui 2' had a massive opening and the film did business of around 84 crores. And this figure is much more than what her contemporaries' films collected. Whereas Alia, who appeared in 'Student Of The Year', did a business of about 65 crores. While Parineeti Chopra's film, 'Ishaqzaade' collected about 47 crores. Well, going by these figures, looks like the darling daughter of Shakti Kapoor is out to make her papa proud and she is here to stay for sure and strong.by indiaglitz..

Sanjay Dutt out of jail for 14 days on medical grounds 

New Delhi ,

The 'Munnabhai' actor is currently on his way home in Mumbai.

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has been granted parole of 14 days for treatment of an undisclosed medical condition.

Sanjay Dutt, convicted in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, has been serving his sentence in Yerwada jail, Pune since May this year.

Sanjay Dutt's application was submitted around 20 days ago and the actor had asked for a month-long parole in mid-August for treatment.

Sanjay Dutt was convicted by a TADA court for illegally possessing a 9 mm pistol and an AK-56 rifle, a part of the consignment of weapons and explosives brought to India for coordinated serial blasts that killed 257 people and injured over 700 in March 1993.

The Supreme Court had in March this year upheld his conviction under the Arms Act but reduced the six years to five.

He had already served a-year-and-half behind the bars before the apex court's judgement and is undergoing the remaining sentence of 42 months.

Sanjay Dutt was sent to Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai on May 16 after he surrendered before a designated TADA court and was shifted to Yerawada prison six days later.
