The star actor
Rishi Kapoor may no longer be romancing heroines, but his affair with acting is everlasting. In Chandigarh, for the shooting of Aayi Bala Ko Taal Tu, the actor, among many other things, talks about how he is not cut out for politics
His older fans may remember him as the lover boy of yesteryear. But Rishi Kapoor, going strong like never before, who has made the transition from a star to an actor with forceful impact, is neither caught in a time warp nor cares to bask in his past glory. Rather, he would focus on his present. Sure the actor who has been turning shades of grey onscreen is as charming as the young lad who stole people's hearts in Bobby. Every inch a perfect gentleman, his impeccable manners speak and reflect on the illustrious first film family of Bollywood that he belongs to.

Another bikini babe
If Sonam Kapor has donned a pink bikini in Bewakoofiyaan then the Rockstar actress Nargis Fakhri has put on a purple two-piece in her upcoming film, Main Tera Hero, starring Varun Dhawan and Ileana

Generous gesture?

An imaginative palette

Vivian, Drashti to romance again
There are no second thoughts on Drashti Dhami and Vivian Dsena's jodi being one of the most popular ones on Indian television. Their chemistry is riveting and intoxicating, something which the viewers enjoyed to the core in Madhubala. But the mood, of the same viewers, became somber and gloomy when Vivian decided to move out of the show.
