Poonam Pandey bags Rs 5 crore for an item song

Bollywood Celebrity Poonam Pandey may make big noises with her outrageous claims and wild pictures, but she should know where to draw the line when it comes to opening her mouth wide before quoting a random number as payment for her work.

Always in the news for her racy pictures that the babe uploads regularly on Twitter, Poonam now claims that she has bagged a hefty deal for doing an item song in a Kannada movie. It was even reported – quite frantically by some journalists – that the Pandey gal was paid Rs 5 crore for the special song. “I am not revealing what I got. But yes, when I heard the money that they were offering, I kind of fell back. I reeled back and gulped. I wondered if I had heard right. Utne paise toh heroines ko bhi nahin milte,” boasted Poonam with her trademark arrogance.

After her first film Nasha went unnoticed at the box office, Poonam is apparently trying every trick in the book to stay in public memory. Our buddies the birdies also inform us that she is not getting any meaty offers, as anticipated by the sex siren before the release of her debut movie. But Poonam has her take ready on all these reports. “After Nasha, where I had the author-backed central role, I didn’t want to do just a song and dance. But like I said, the money for that one number was more than what heroines get in Bollywood,” she repeated.

Shruti Haasan: Stalker never approached me or my staff for job

Bollywood Actress Shruti Haasan on Monday rubbished her stalker’s claim that he visited the actress’ residence in Bandra to seek a job for his brother. The stalker is now under arrest and Shruti says she trusts the Mumbai police to take the best step. The 27-year-old daughter of veteran actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika, filed an FIR against the stalker after she answered the doorbell on the morning of Nov 19 and said he tried to barge into her house. However, the stalker has reportedly claimed that he didn’t intend to scare her.

“In all the time this man was on the set, he never approached me or my staff for a job. If he had approached us for a job we would have dealt with it appropriately,” Shruti said in a statement.

“But as a single woman living alone in Mumbai, I take serious offence to someone coming to my house and trying to barge through my door. I trust the Mumbai police will know best how to deal with such an act,” she added.

Has Hrithik Roshan not recovered yet?

Hrithik Roshan is a true superhero. The 39-year-old star who underwent a brain surgery some months ago is now basking in the super success of his superhero movie Krrish 3. The dashing dude will start shooting soon after resting for some more time to recover fully from recurring headaches that have resurfaced.

Hrithik has now decided to take some time off before he ventures into the studios again. Putting speculation about his health issues and other matters to rest, Hrithik maintains that he needs some more time before he starts shooting for his next ventures.

“I am extremely overwhelmed by the tremendous support and love extended by everyone to Krrish 3. It’s been a great journey. Before I get ready to resume the shooting of my next, Bang Bang, in early January 2014 and later Shuddhi, as both are physically demanding, I will be taking some time off to recover completely from the recurring headaches that have resurfaced in the last couple of weeks. I am confident that your love and prayers will heal me completely. I wish everyone a great end to 2013 and a fabulous start to 2014!,” said the Roshan lad.

Is Saif Ali Khan not interested in Kareena Kapoor Khan’s professional life?

While Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Gori Tere Pyaar Mein hit the theatres last week, Saif Ali Khan Bullett Raja will release this Friday. So, will Bebo’s hubby’s film’s release affect her film’s box-office collections? Well, only time well tell. However, we wonder if Saifeena will be affected by it at all. Though both of them are from the same profession, Saif barely ever watches Hindi films. So, we won’t be surprised if he’s missed Bebo’s latest film too.

Kareena says, “Saif hardly sees any Hindi movie. He acts in Hindi movies but he doesn’t watch them.” That’s not all! Apparently, hubby Saifu doesn’t even know which films Bebo signs for. She says, “He doesn’t know anything about what films I am going to do. He has never asked me about what film I am doing or whom I am working with. We never discuss work at home as a rule. Same profession is not the reason why we are together today.”

Kareena says that she’s learnt to live life through her husband, Saif. She adds, “I learnt from him how to keep my personal and professional life separate.”

Who is Deepika Padukone’s most blunt critic?

Deepika Padukone doesn’t shy away from criticism. The long lady has been appreciated for her performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s latest offering Goliyon Ki Raasleela – Ram Leela, maintains that her younger sister Anisha Padukone is her most blunt critic.

She is always very honest, and “I don’t mind it,” Deepika said. ”She is very honest about her opinion. She is my most blunt critic and she speaks her heart. Even if she is criticising me, I don’t mind it because she is very honest and she wants me to do well. As far as ‘Ram Leela’ is concerned, she just loved the film,” said Deepika.

The 27-year-old, who is riding high on a string success, says she is not ready for a relationship.

“I don’t think I am ready for a relationship at the moment. I don’t think my career has anything to do with my relationship. It’s just that I am in a happy space right now and not ready to be in a relationship,” said Deepika.
