The newest piece of goss from tinsel town is that there’s something brewing between Salman Khan and his London Dreams co-star Asin . The two have been bonding big time on the sets of the Vipul Amrutlal Shah movie and their chemistry has extended beyond their work, something that could become a cause of worry for Katrina Kaif , Sallu’s present girlfriend.

Informs a family source, "Hrithik and Susanne have been having problems for a while now. Initially, everyone thought that Barbara was just another phase in his life. Nobody expected Hrithik to get so serious about her. Susanne has been trying to come to terms with it. But when nothing worked, even her parents supported Susanne in her decision to leave him."THrithik and Barbara allegedly got close during the shooting of Kites. Hrithik has been interacting with her family too. The actor even made a trip to Amby Valley near Lonavala with Barbara's family, minus his wife.

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have finally headed towards a split..?????

Gossip mills are running rapidly again in industry circles claiming that Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have finally headed towards a split.

Just when the news is out the couple is seen together at events again there have also been reports that Salman Khan’s over possessive nature has widened the gap between the two. The couple has never openly spoken about their relationship but yet stood strongly besides each other in the hour of need.TEveryone in the industry knows that Salman helped Katrina at a time when she was new to the industry. Her debut venture Boom in 2003 was a box office disaster and Salman was his peak of success with films like Baaghban and Mujhse Shaadi Karoge had just been released.


That is when Salman Khan was introduced to this new comer who had nobody in the industry and was all set to try her luck with good looks and anglicized accent. Apart from a few commercials Katrina Kaif had not signed any film. That is when Salman Khan came to her rescue as her knight in shining armour.


His family accepted her graciously and she became a part of the entire Khandaan. They went on do films together like Maine Pyaar Kyon Kiya in 2005 which failed to appeal the audiences. Their next David Dhawan’s Partner was a hit but they were not paired opposite each other.

Their latest offering Subhash Ghai went to become another box office failure. Though they have been accepted as an offscreen couple they still haven’t managed to create the same magic on screen.

Katrina in the mean time went on to do films with other heroes and churned out one hit after the other. Slowly and steadily she climbed the ladder of success finally conquering the pedestal of the number one position.

Be it films; commercials or endorsements the Katrina has made her place secure everywhere. Yet she humbly states, “I feel lucky and privileged and have been bless that God has answered all my prayers. I am trying to give my best and am working hard. The whole journey has been wonderful. What more can I say.”

Today their positions are reversed. Salman has had a series of flops to his credit at the box office amongst them the recent ones being God Tussi Great Ho, Yuvraaj. Quiz Katrina about it and she once again supports her hero, “For me Salman is an icon. His stardom can never be affected. He will always be iconic whether his films are successful or not successful.”

The story of the film goes like this: Abhishek Bachchan's sister gets publicly humiliated by the character played by South star Vikram.

An angry Abhishek seeks revenge and storms into Vikram’s house. But he doesn't find him there. Wanting to teach him a lesson, Abhishek kidnaps Vikram's wife played by Aishwarya Rai. Chased by the police, Abhishek hides in the nearby jungle. And guess what? Both of Abhi-Ash end up falling in love.

Asin as cover girl of 'verve'

Sultry as sin, she brings a whiff of the beautiful south to tinsel town. After a scintillating debut opposite Aamir 'eight-pack' Khan in Ghajini, Asin is being hailed as the next big import from Kollywood into Bollywood, inviting comparisons with the legendary Sridevi.

Sona Bahadur meets the elfin beauty with the payasam voice to figure just what the fuss is all about.

It's the age of Asinnocence. Bollywood is under the spell of a doe-eyed siren who breezed in unannounced from the south of the Vindhyas last year and stole the show with her sensational debut in Ghajini, the mother of all blockbusters. Her sugarand-spice freshness has everyone talking. Critics have given her an A for acting. She's the flavour du jour. On a sunny February morning rife with the promise of spring, Asin poses for the Verve cover shoot. Whisper-hued dresses in the prettiest peaches, roses, ivories and lavenders vie for her attention as she dons the avatar of a modern day angel.

Gracefully languid on a couch in a diamante embellished white shift by Monisha Jaising, she's a vision of ethereal sexiness. A powder-blue animal print dress that gently skims her lush curves is next, followed by a gorgeous stone beige pleated georgette gown.

A jeans-and-tee girl off camera, Asin brings each softly-glam look to life like a dream. "She totally transforms in front of the camera. Amazing." remarks ace lensman Jatin Kampani between shots.

Lovely as a backwaters lotus with come-hither eyes that pack in the headiness of a potent Southern Comfort, Asin Thottumkal is beautiful in a conventional yet exotic sort of way. Oval face, arched eyebrows, chiselled nose and a generous, pout-friendly mouth that makes our make-up artist exclaim, 'What lips!'

Priyanka chopra poses on L'Officiel cover

If there is heaven, it is here, it is here, it is here'...goes a famous saying. But after looking at the recent cover of L'Officiel, we are forced to conclude that 'If at all, there is a Fairy on Earth, it is her, it is her, it is her'. And we are indeed referring to none other than the yummy delight and the visual treat called Priyanka Chopra, who looks like a Mother of all Fairies!Full marks to the creative team as well as the (Lucky) photographer and also to the (Luckiest) camera to have caught this actress' mind blowing expressions, which are totally priceless! Although one must admit that the cover does make Priyanka resemble the lovely Sophie Lauren at the first go, but it's the Desi girl's desi-ness that brings her exclusive charm to the picture. And it is this Chopra girl, who simply has the year 2009 tailor made written for her, thanks to the multitude of releases that she has got this year.

All in all, this Power-packed issue of L'Officiel really lives up to the tagline of 'The Power Issue'.

44th birthday for Aamir Khan

Be it as a child artist in Yaadon Ki Baraat or the sepoy champion in Mangal Pandey, be it the lover boy of Rangeela or the macho man of Ghajini, be it the twinkle-eyed, mischief-monger of Raja Hindustani or the zealous, fiery-spirited youngster of Rang De Basanti, Aamir Khan is without doubt an acting-god of Indian cinema. Two decades of filmdom, a remarkable filmograph, and tonnes of dare-devil attitude, Aamir is indeed a phenomenon in celluloid space.

The actor, who is celebrating his 44th birthday today (March 14th), hit screens with no greater qualification than his chocolate-boy looks. When Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak released, no one ever imagined that this lover boy would rise to the level of the next superstar of Bollywood. Though his early years were chequered with many hits and flops, he grew up steadily in box office ratings and emerged as a demi-god on the Indian screens. Hit films like Dil, Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke and Rangeela perched him high in the hearts of fans. However, it was the lover-boy of Raja Hindustani who made it to the award nights. Aamir won Filmfare for Best Actor for his performance in Raja Hindustani. After a short series of misses, the actor came back with a bang on the silver screen with his Lagaan. Lagaan was a turning point in Indian cinema and was nominated for the Oscars in the Best Foreign Language Film category in 2001.

Meanwhile, the actor divulged from acting and ventured into production space. This transition from acting to filmmaking proved extremely successful. Accolades and awards followed with Rang De Basanti, a benchmark film in Indian cinema. Taare Zameen Par, a distinct, close-to-the-heart film on child-care, captivated the hearts of parents, children and teachers alike. And what more, the actor topped it all with his scintillating performance in the recent Ghajini, the Hindi remake of a Tamil film of the same title. Right now, the actor has three films in his kitty. Delhi Belly and Three Idiots being the much-anticipated films of this year.

With all this work and much more to come, Aamir Khan has become a genre in himself. An avid risk-taker, he goes for the unexplored and non-commercial when others are just contented with navigating through conventional space. As he rightly says, he is not a “typecasted actor”.

Galatta.com wishes Aamir Khan all success and happiness on his birthday! May the actor scale more heights in the world of cinema.

Today being Aamir Khan's birthday, Galatta.com will bring you exclusive features on the actor throughout the day. Keep tuned to Galatta.com for more on powerhouse-performer Aamir.
