Aish To Make A Comeback With Mani Ratnam..

She started her acting career with Mani Ratnam's Iruvar where she played a character uncannily similar to Jayalalitha and now Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is all set to make a comeback to screen after a long maternity leave with a film to be directed by Mani Ratnam.Mani is very close to both Abhishek and Aishwarya. He has worked with the couple in Guru and Raavan.

But for his next he wants only Aishwarya.

Says a very reliable source, `Mani shares a fabulous equation with Abhishek and Ash, more the former. But this time he's planning to direct a film which has a very strong female protagonist's character. Mani feels there is little room for Abhishek in his next.`


Aishwarya has given her consent to her presence in Mani's next.

Says the source, `Aishwarya was very clear about her priorities after she became a mother.She gave a hundred of her time and concentration to her daughter Aaraadhya for two years. Now that Aaraadhya is ready for playschool Aishwarya can start thinking of seriously coming back to acting.`


Aishwarya was keen to return with a film directed by either of her two favourite directors, Sanjay Leela Bhansali or Mani Ratnam. Says the source, ` She was all but finalized for the item song in SLB's Ram Leela. But Aishwarya wanted some changes in the lyrics which Sanjay refused. While she's looking forward to working with SLB she's all set to return with Mani Ratnam's next project.` The movie-making genius' career has been under a cloud. His last two films Raavan and Kadalan have bombed and been heavily panned by critics as well.

`Mani too needs to make a comeback,` says the source which informs about Aishwarya's nod to the Mani Ratnam project.By Santa Banta News Network

Daisy was a background dancer until Salman spotted her.

"Jai Ho" is set to release Jan 24.

Actress Sameera Reddy is marrying today and her beau is Akshai Varde, a 31-year old entrepreneur who owns a custom motorcycle business. 

The couple who has been dating for the past two-and-a-half years exchanged rings at Sameera's Bandra residence on December. And though the actress had earlier announced that she will get hitched in April, Mirror has it that a quiet wedding is being planned for today.

A source close to the development revealed that the two will wed in a private ceremony, with only a handful of friends and relatives on the guest list. Buzz is, the duo are trying their best to keep the details, including the venue, under wraps. "But it is definitely happening in Bandra today," says the insider.

While Sameera remained unavailable for comment, her mother, Nakshatra Reddy, confirmed the news but refused to divulge any details, cutting short the call, saying, "I am in a puja. I really can't talk at length now."


The actress has picked out her wedding ensemble and both the bride and the groom will be dressed by Neeta Lulla. A friend of Sameera revealed, "Sameera is over the moon, though Akshai stays virtually next door. Surprisingly, they didn't even know that they stayed so close. Bikes forged the connection."

The actress was riding a bike by Vardenchi (Akshai's company) for some time when she met the man behind the mean machine. Sparks flew and soon both the bike enthusiasts were zipping around the lanes of Bandra.By Santa Banta News Network

“I think it was a relationship that I thought would go beyond. For whatever reasons, it didn’t work out. Since then I think I am very scared to invest emotionally in a relationship” was what Deepika Padukone said on the show. We definitely hope that our poor little Dippy will one day find her prince charming who this time around will stick to her.

Deepika Padukone also talked about how she can never go out on a casual date and how she feels the need to be committed. “I don’t know how to just casually go for a date. I do not know how to be in this ‘inbetween dating’ but not committed thing” she says. We wonder the how she could get together with Ranveer Singh who unlike her is a commitment phobic.

I had never planned on being an actress: Parineeti Chopra..

Not every actor aspires to be one. Actress Parineeti Chopra is one of those who got into the industry without aiming for it

She tells CS `I had never planned on being an actress. I was born and did my schooling in the small town of Ambala.

For further studies, I went to London and was keen on becoming an investment banker.

But as luck would have it, I had to come back to India in 2009 since recession had hit the economy badly.

Back in my country, I began assisting Aditya Chopra. Before I knew it, he noticed some spark in me and signed me for the YRF banner. The rest, as they say is history`.
