Ajay Devgan is shooting for Toonpur Ka Superhero these days, the actor isn't at his cheerest best. After all, the terror that struck Mumbai was the worst of its kinds, and Ajay isn't really in a mood to discuss future projects or even talk about his current ones. Ajay Devgan Productions will have as many as three films on floor next year. "But instead of talking about my expansion plans, I'd rather salute the Indian commandos and NSG's who lead from the front and gave their lives for the citizens of this country.

Devgan has played the hero is many films like Halla Bol and Gangajal or even Yuva . "We just act like the heroes. We play characters, but the real heroes are those who selflessly serve the country and put their lives on the line for us citizens whom they don't even know personally. And what's more credible is that they put us before family.

There are people who have lost their loved ones, Kajol and I extend our condolence to their families," says Ajay, adding, "The army personnel have done their job wonderfully, but the question here is: Have we done ours?"

Priyanka Chopra seems to be getting bolder by the day. Whether it be her look in her last films, or the characters and the kind of films she is opting for, she seems to be eyeing the numero uno crown. She made a point on gay rights too when she told us in a recent chat that they have equal rights to live a dignified life.

And now, the actress gives out yet another statement - that she has no qualms playing a lesbian character if offered. "Why not, I would definitely play a lesbian role, provided the film has a good script and the role demands so," says Chopra.

But the million dollar question is, who among the top actresses will play a lesbian partner to her? Certainly not Kareena Kapoor, given their not-so-great rapport and Priyanka may not want to pair up with Katrina Kaif for her non-existing acting skills! That leaves us with Kangana Ranaut, but rumours have it that the two did not get along so well on the sets of 'Fashion'. So we asked Priyanka herself who would be her preferred choice, and she shot back, "How can I decide, that's up to the filmmakers." Well, we leave it up to the filmmakers too.

The lady who lost to Deepika Padukone the chance of working with beau Saif in Imtiaz Ali’s film, has made sure to be a part of Saif’s next project with Sriram Raghavan. Kareena Kapoor will be seen romancing her Saif in Raghavan’s spy thriller Agent Vinod . Saif plays the title role and Kareena, his love interest.

Reportedly, Deepika was the first choice for the female lead in Agent Vinod but it seems Kareena was in no mood to take yet another defeat from the young star. However, director Raghavan explains that he never approached Deepika for the film. But yes he is keen to work with Kareena for the same.

Ever since Agent Vinod was announced, Bebo was keen on bagging the role and made sure that Deepika doesn’t get away with her sweety pie this time. Perhaps the lady just wants to be with Saif at all times, at work and otherwise and keep his attention solely on her. We all are aware of Saif’s Casanova ways, aren’t we?

When asked, S Raghavan confirmed, “I haven’t yet signed her but hope to do that soon. I can give more details only by December end.” The film will have two leading ladies – an Indian (Kareena) and a foreign actress. The film will go on the floors in March 2009. Apart from this, Saifeena will be seen together in Karan Johar’s next.

Zayed Khan kisses for the first time on screen in Subhash Ghai's Yuvvraaj. And the lip-locking girl is Amrit(Aimee Maghera),Zayed never done intimate scenes like these on screen. I'm a family man with a wife and son. And to watch the scenes with my parents at the premiere gave me the shivers. He worried about his wife that What would they think? On top of it all it was our marriage anniversary.IS a gift for his marriage anniversary to wife!"

"It isn't just a kiss in Yuvvraaj. It was a huge smooching spree between Zayed and his co-star Aimee (Amrit) Maghera. Zayed really had to go for the kill. And he was reluctant and unwilling. Zayed protested hard. He argued he's a married man with a son. And his wife would certainly not like seeing him in a compromising position with his co-star even if it was for the screen. But Subhash Ghai was adamant. The Showman has never had a kissing scene in his cinema before. He wanted to start good and proper. He insisted Zayed do the needful."

When probed about the screen scorchers, Zayed acts ultra-cool. "My lips are sealed, and not just for the kissing-let me tell you very explicitly. But yes, some of the scenes did have me worried. This was my first screen kiss. And I do have a very laadla beta image among the audience. What would the mothers in the audience think? I wondered! I hadn't even told my wife about the kissing in Yuvvraaj. I wanted to surprise her on the premiere night."

At the recently held Longines launch event in Mumbai, Ash however transformed herself from an actor into the Miss World she used to be few years ago!

She obviously spoke about hubby Abhishek and her Bachchan family but what she also commented upon was the ongoing ‘global economic crisis’!

Ash said, “We all are citizens of this country and recession will touch everyone’s life. However, I cannot speak about the entire film industry. Ash however transformed herself from an actor into the Miss World she used to be few years ago. All I know is the word ‘management’ is of prime importance. It’s about managing and not questioning how do I manage things. Taking more than you can chew will only create chaos. Yes I am leading a hectic lifestyle for a while but I believe in taking only as much as you can effectively give. If I am internally happy it shows. I have never deliberately tried to show how happy I am.”

The world economy is facing a economic depression and every one is feeling the heat. In such a pressure scenario, a loving gift can definitely boost one’s confidence. Gifts is a way to show that “Yes I am there for you.”
