Celina's makeover resembles Katy Perry

Celina Jaitley’s strikingly unconventional looks manage to turn heads everywhere. She was recently spotted at the music launch of her upcoming movie Hello Darling sporting a totally new look. Her front bangs coupled with the heavily kohl-ed eyes drew glances everywhere. She has been receiving tons of compliments and some even say that she reminds them of American pop sensation Katy Perry.

When contacted, Celina amusingly quipped, “Yes, a lot of people have said that I look like Katy Perry in certain shots but that is just a co-incidence. Katy and I also happen to endorse the same brand (Proactiv).”


Celina’s new look is for her forthcoming movie Hello Darling. In the movie, Celina essays the role of ‘Candy Fernandes’, a Catholic Anglo Indian girl. The look was designed keeping the same in mind. Incidentally, Celina’s look was thought of two years back when she signed the movie.

Sonakshi's decisions influenced by Salman

Salman Khan, who is taking a very keen interest in the Dabangg debutante Sonakshi Sinha’s career has personally advised her not to sign any more films until her first film is released. This explains why Sonakshi has turned down lucrative offers from several big banners excluding a second film with Salman Khan.

The trailers for Sonakshi Sinha’s Dabangg went on air this week. Immediately Sonakshi Sinha made an impact on many minds including Sanjay Leela Bhansali who wants to offer her a role. But Salman, who has earlier played Christopher Columbus to the likes of Bhumika Chawla (Tere Naam), Zarine Khan (Veer) and, of course, Katrina Kaif (who was re-launched in Haan Maine Bhi Pyar Kiya Hai ), has already blocked Sonakshi’s dates.


Says the pretty debutante, “Yes I am doing another film for Arbaaz Khan. But we haven’t decided on the subject and other details. All I know is that’s the only film I’ve said yes to. Otherwise I’ll wait for Dabangg to be released before signing anything”.

Sonakshi is all praise for the way Salman treated her. “Why only Salman? Arbaaz and Sohail also looked after me like a family member. I’ve been so spoilt by them that I don’t know how I’ll work with other banners where I’d just have to be very professional in my dealings”.

Was she ever intimidated by Salman?

Sonakshi laughs, “Not at all. He’s a really chilled-out guy. If I didn’t have Salman and his brothers to look after me in my first film I don’t know how I’d have gathered the confidence to take the plunge into acting”. She says she will only do the films and roles that make her comfortable. “That is one thing I’m sure of. I won’t do anything that would embarrass me or my parents”.

Mumbai (ANI): Bollywood actor John Abraham talked about his coming up film Aashayein during a promotional event. Abraham said that the film would leave a positive impact on the minds of people.


"First wish was that it should release. Now when it is releasing, I am very happy. My wish is that it should be a positive film in audience's mind and I am confident that it will be a confident film in the mind of the audience," said Abraham.


"Commercially it is a small film, but it will create big impact on minds. So, I think that commercially it should be a plus film," he added. Abraham further said he wants to enhance his performance in all his films.

"In my effort I would like to improve my performance qualitatively and perform in good films. Every actor wants credibility so Aashayein is that film where I am looking for critical and credible acclaim," he added. Written and directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, the movie stars John Abraham and Sonal Sehgal in the lead roles.

Aashayein is the story of a gambler, who discovers new meanings of life through a dramatic turn of events.

Sallu loses six-pack!

About this Video: Imagine the agony Salman Khan had to go through when he was asked to lose his six-pack abs for Dabbang. Putting him through this torture was his own brother, producer Arbaaz Khan. Salman, the shirtless, original macho man of Bollywood, is playing a Bihari cop in the film, and the paan-chewing cops of Bihar are nowhere near being that fit. Sallu had to look the part so he went on a special diet, probably gave in to all his cravings and got rid of his super abs. The actor, who doesn’t miss his exercise routine, learned table tennis in a day to keep himself fit as he didn’t want to completely go from being all fab to all flab.
