This relationship was an inspiration to those in Bollywood and even otherwise. This 12 year long relationship abruptly came to an end and no one could understand why. Kelly & Lara had been a couple since their modelling days and while Lara went on to become a successful actress after winning the Miss Universe crown, Kelly’s Bollywood career never took off. Allegedly Lara’s attraction towards Dino Morea was the reason for the split. In fact Kelly openly admitted to Stardust magazine that Dino Morea shouldn’t have done what he did, leaving no secrets barred. Well, Lara is now happily married to tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi & is a proud mommy while Kelly is hardly seen anywhere.

Would like to do remake of ‘Caravan’ or ‘Farz’: Tusshar Kapoor
Actor Tusshar Kapoor feels Ajay Devgn is the right choice for the remake of the 1983 hit “Himmatwala” starring his dad Jeetendra, adding that given a choice, he would like to work on the remakes of his father’s “Caravan” or “Farz”.
“I would want to do ‘Caravan’ or ‘Farz’. ‘Caravan’ is more my age, it was a comedy as well,” said Tusshar when quizzed, which of his father’s film would he like to star in?
Sajid Khan will wield the megaphone for the “Himmatwala” remake.
Tusshar, who worked with Ajay in “Golmaal” series, says he is happy that Ajay is doing it and added: “I have worked with him, I think he is the most appropriate choice for that film. I am happy that a great team like Sajid Khan and Ajay Devgn are bringing back such a big film.”
“I am dying to see it and I am sure Ajay will give it his own spin and he’ll make it as good as the first, I am sure,” said the 35-year-old in an interview.
Tusshar describes “Himmatwala”, which also starred Sridevi, as a “trendsetting film”.
” ‘Himmatwala’ is a huge brand, it was a trendsetting film. That film started the trend of heroes and heroines dancing together, people called it P.T. exercise at that time but that trend has been going on for 30 years now. I think ‘Himmatwala’ is the film where that started,” said Tusshar.
One the most famous song from the film is “Nainon mein sapna”, which was picturised on Jeetendra and Sridevi.

Sushmita Sen wardrobe Malfunction
Showing of inner garments has been a very common practice now-a-days. The recent in the row is former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen. She revealed her inner garment at the I Am She press conference. She wore a short tube gray dress. Her attire was too short to hide her panty and gave the shutterbugs an unique chance to have a glimpse of her panty.
The occasion was to honor Himangini Singh Yadu, who was crowned Miss Asia Pacific in Busan, Korea on June 16. "It's a proud moment for India, Himangini Singh has made us all very proud by winning this title because we have been waiting for a win on the international stage for a long time now. She has given us the biggest gift. Her life starts now because today once again an Indian beauty has been recognised and given a place on the world map and that is one of the greatest achievements." the 36-year-old had said earlier. While she was speaking to the press, she was keeping her legs crossed but the moment she relaxed, her cream color panty caught the sight of the camera persons and they did not missed the opportunity to capture the Kodak moment.
Sushmita Sen's organization ‘I Am She’ selected Himangini to represent India at the international beauty pageant.
Sushmita was so overwhelmed and excited with the victory that she did not even realized that she actually suffered a wardrobe malfunction.

Top 10 Saddest Break-ups in Bollywood: No. 6: Ranbir Kapoor & Deepika Padukone
This couple was another high profile one. They made efforts to keep their relationship under wraps but couldn’t do so for long as everybody saw through their facade. Their every move started making headlines, from Deepika’s RK tattoo to their airport kiss. But, apparently, Mummy Kapoor wasn't too happy with this union, and Ranbir being the mama’s boy that he is, happily broke up with this leggy lass. Deepika later revealed on 'Koffee with Karan' that he cheated on her and took digs at him, which definitely made for some saucy viewing.

Teri Meri Kahaani Movie Review
Promising Film Meanders In The 2nd Half
rating 2/5
Teri Meri Kahaani Review - In Brief
Three love stories across 3 eras – 1910, 1960 and 2012 in Lahore, Bombay and London respectively.
Teri Meri Kahaani Review - Verdict
Interesting premise/plot, fine performances by the protagonists (Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra), however lacklustre writing lets the film down!
Teri Meri Kahaani Review - Short Plot
The film has been divided into three love stories between Govind- Ruksar in Bombay circa 1960, Krish-Radha in London of 2012 and Javed-Aradhana in 1910 at Lahore. The basic plot for all the stories is the same. Boy-meets-girl, the initial hesitancy, sparks fly, love happens, reality takes over and hearts break. Obviously, the reasons for the heart break are quite different for all the 3 eras. Although, there is nothing new about the way the love stories go about, the concept of imbibing all the three together in the same film was quite interesting. However, the implementation of the concept is very ordinary.
Teri Meri Kahaani Review - Performances
Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra deliver fine performances in the film. Shahid is first-rate as the aspiring musician of the 60s and the hip collegian of today, though his shayar act of the 1910s was quite abysmal. Priyanka too, is convincing as the big superstar heroine of the 60s, another uber-cool youngster living in London as well as the reticent village girl at Lahore. There are a few chinks in their armour at a few places, but the dialogue writers should take the blame for this. Prachi Desai is wonderful in her special appearance. Vrajesh Hirjee, who plays a scribe in the film (although, he has no dialogues) is brilliant in in his minuscule role! The rest of the supporting cast is quite miserable. They don't look the part, nor do they act it.
Teri Meri Kahaani Review - Technical
The first half holds a lot of promise. The 1960s era is written very well. There is a semblance of Chaplinesque comedy, which does manage to overshadow the awful sets (Bombay of 1960 was recreated poorly!) Even the performances put in by the protagonists along with Prachi Desai, were brilliant, which along with the foot-tapping Uff gave the film a rollicking start! London 2012 was a minor blip on the radar, which turns into a blot by the interval! Some of the scenes are charming; a few are cringe-inducing and a couple of them, laughable. The writing (Kunal Kohli and Robin Bhatt) was good in the first half, but abysmal in the latter part. The chemistry between Shahid and Priyanka is sparkling. You do see glimpses of Kohli's brilliance in Hum Tum in some parts; however the steam runs out by the time the film reaches the half-way mark. The film keeps meandering between being too cheesy and too serious, and hence, loses the plot.
Teri Meri Kahaani Review - Music
The music composed by Sajid-Wajid is at best, passable. None of the songs in the film are extraordinary. Uff and Mukhtasar were shot wonderfully (Cinematography by Sunil Patel), and that's that!
Teri Meri Kahaani Review - Final Word
Watchable for die-hard Shahid-Priyanka fans! Even love story aficionados won't be too impressed with this film. Tried really hard to like the film in the 2nd half, but couldn't!
