Sneha May Francis gives you the lowdown on the latest Bollywood gossip.
What's the fuss about?
He might be the 'Kinng' of Bollywood but when it comes to the rule of law, the Indian police didn't think twice before issuing an arrest warrant against Akshay Kumar and his lovely wife Twinkle Khanna for an allegedly indecent act at the recently held Lakme Fashion Week. The story goes like this: Aki was walking the ramp for Levi's 'unbuttoned' jeans line, when he decided to add a fun twist by prompting his wife, who was seated in the front row, to unbutton his jeans. Twinkle shied away at first only to give in, to a loud cheer from the crowd. She stopped at the first button and let hubby walk on without creating anymore fuss. But the scene caught the disapproving eye of a Mumbai citizen who filed a case of indecency against the actor, his wife, the designer and the show organisers. The police then arrested Twinkle, who was almost immediately let off on bail. The actor, who was shooting outside India, issued a letter stating he'd appear in the police station as soon as he's back in the country. We thought the act was over-the-top too. And admist all this drama, we wonder if the Indian government is questioning their decision to honour Aki with the country's most prestigious Padma Shree Award!
Farah Khan to skip meals for husband
Filmmaker Farah Khan is going to give up food for her hubby, Shirish Kunder. Don't jump to any conclusions now: the woman is only trying to cut down on some extra flab. Farah is currently on a weight-loss mission after being criticised for looking like Kunder's older sister. But we took a closer look at their recent photographs and think that we wouldn't be far off in saying Farah looks more like Kunder's mom! So we suggest she add another 20 kilos to the weight-loss plan.
Mallika's milkshake
What do Leonardo DiCaprio, David Beckham and Mallika Sherawat have in common? Well, they've all got milkshakes named after them at the Millions of Milkshakes in West Hollywood. We are happy Mallika won this milky honour, but we are shocked at her choice of outfit for the big day. Surely she could've dressed more appropriately, instead of putting on a belly dancer costume? In fact, this is the exact same skirt she wore for the premiere of The Myth ages ago. Tsk, tsk! Guess the economic recession has already caught up with the Sherawat girl.
