Diet, don’t crash!
Keeping those extra pounds of flesh away is not a bad idea. As dieting is becoming an obsession, we take a look at whether these wonder diets do more harm than good
 A tempting offer pops up on the computer screen-lose weight in less than seven days - and you click without a thought. Fatness is a sin, being pleasantly plump a misnomer - you can be either of them! Let courtesies be damned, weight gain or loss is the first thing that people talk about when they meet. Coming back to the offer about losing weight in a week's time, it's a diet chart that guarantees weight loss, provided you barter it with sugar,
carbs, dairy products, selective fruits et al. There are over 50 similar diets available on the Internet or with the dieticians and there are enough takers.
Fun & frolic
The film comes with a fair share of double meaning dialogues, taps on the genre of romance; is even based on Punjabi culture, yet it is not a comedy. "It has everything one needs to ask for in a film. It has music, emotions, anger, action, romance, drama, even funny moments but it is not a comedy," director Shammi Chhabra, singles out the film from one over-powering genre and is upbeat about his upcoming Hindi film Lucky Kabootar.
Encounter with truth
Rajesh Shringarpure, who plays a gangster in an upcoming television series titled Encounter, says his role is akin to that of Manoj Bajpayee in the film Satya
While most of the crime shows that are telecast on Indian television lead one to an almost nauseating paranoia, there are others that only intend to thrill. You now stand a chance to watch a crime show without feeling the need to install extra locks on your door or hi-tech burglary alarms in your house! Hosted by Manoj
Bajpayee, the new television series titled Encounter, will premiere on Sony TV, thereby providing you with an ultimate refuge from that man pointing at you as he says — Chain se sona hai toh ab jag
jaao.

Meeting Sachin!
Jay Soni and his wife Pooja Soni had gone for a mini-honeymoon of four days to Goa. To his great surprise, the villa adjacent to theirs was occupied by cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and what's more his wife Anjali recognised him.
He says, "It was fantastic to bump into Sachin Tendulkar. I had never seen
him in Mumbai but in Goa I could meet him. His wife was aware that I am an actor
from Sanskaar. It was really motivating."
Matter of talent: Gaurav Chopraa, who completed ten years in the industry, feels the new talent burns out fast in the industry. He feels actors need to do four or more hit shows to be called stars, but as the makers publicise them a lot they think they are one.
