Hema, Esha storm out
As soon as Malini Sharma's name was announced as Best Female Debutante at the Zee-Fairglow Cine Awards, recently, Esha Deol, who was also a nominee, was seen storming out with her mother Hema Malini.
Earlier, the duo did the unthinkable at another public function when they stood up and left in the middle of a private screening of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas. While such behaviour may not be surprising from a youngster, senior actress Hema Malini should have been more discreet in her public conduct.
Anil Kapoor attends Anbesivam premiere
Anil Kapoor has always been an unabashed fan of Kamal Haasan. Now, there's a possibility of the Kapoor coming together with Haasan in a remake of the latter's latest Tamil starrer Anbesivam, which opens on January 14.
Anil Kapoor is flying down to Chennai especially to attend the premiere. "Kamalji invited me and how could I refuse him?" Kapoor smiles.
Raakhee's busy schedule
Raakhee has always been very selective about her roles. Now, suddenly, there is a lot of activity in her career.
Rituparno Ghosh's Bengali film Shubho Mahurat, which opened last December had critics in Kolkata going ga-ga over Raakhee's performance -- just as they had 30 years ago, when Raakhee and Sharmila Tagore came together in Yash Chopra's Daag.
Raakhee was seen as Akshay Kumar's mother in Talaash, the first release of 2003. She will be seen again this Friday as Aishwarya Rai's mother in Dil Ka Rishta. Apparently, Vrinda Rai (Ash's mother) felt that if anyone resembles her daughter, it is Raakhee. During the shooting, Raakhee grew so fond of Ash that she now calls Ash by her character's name Tia permanently.
