Shah Rukh Khan's special gifts for Katrina
Khan indulges the actress with designer jackets, a gym bag and even lends his bodyguards for a day
When Katrina Kaif shot in the freezing climes of London recently, co-star Shah Rukh Khan made sure she had enough jackets to keep her warm by sending his staff to buy some for her. What's more, a few days ago a fancy new gym bag too arrived on the sets of their Yash Chopra film courtesy SRK, with a card that read, "Have a great workout!" He sent her the present after being told that Kat was looking for a particular bag.
SRK is known to be generous when it comes to buying gifts for people he likes. And Kat is the newest person on the list of friends he likes to spoil. The two actors are working together for the first time in this as-yet untitled film. A source working on the film reveals that the charming Khan made sure his leading lady was well-taken care of during their long outdoor stint abroad. "He even asked his personal staff to make sure she was comfortable and that her every need was catered to. After a security issue occured during the film's London schedule, SRK asked his bodyguards to be by Kat's side and ensure that she wasn't mobbed by aggressive fans." The actress is known to travel without security and even moves around in the city without bodyguards, unlike other actresses.
And it seems that apart from being her co-star, SRK has also turned into her confidant. The source adds, "She loves talking to him and often asks him for professional as well as personal advice." We wonder what a certain other Khan has to say about this nayi dosti!

Priyanka Chopra sizzles on stage of IPL-5 opening ceremony
The IPL-5 opening ceremony which took place earlier this week in Chennai
saw a lot of big names but the one person who truly set the stage on
fire was Priyanka Chopra. Piggy Chops took the packed audience by
surprise when she went up in the air during her performance.
Looking chic in a black and white sequined top, black pants and a red wrap-around skirt, the actress opened her act with her popular song 'Aaj Ki Raat'. She displayed her sporty side as she was pulled up in the air with a harness for an aerial act on the Don tune.
The 29-year-old actress mesmerized the audience with her confidence, and landed on the stage for a power-packed dance on the number 'Dhan Te Nan' from the film Kaminey.
She moved around in the audience, and urged the front row members, including cricketers Sourav Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh, to dance with her. Bhajji, as the latter is lovingly called, was sporting enough to get up and join her for a jig.
Later, Priyanka took to the stage again to interact with the team-members of Chennai Super Kings including MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina.
She pulled Dhoni's leg, and asked the boys to join her for a dance on the hit Tamil song 'Nakka Mukka'.
The ceremony was opened by megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who rendered a soulful poem penned by lyricist Prasoon Joshi. It was followed by a performance by Colonial Cousins, after which Priyanka took centre-stage.

Salman Khan is a good brand ambassador.
He sells, and he knows it. In the recent times, brand Salman has only grown from strength-to-strength.
And he's well aware of his brand value. Recently, while lending his name to a travel website, Salman spoke exclusively to zoOm and shared the 'Dos and Don'ts' of being a good brand ambassador. "I endorse things I use, there's no point in promoting something you don't believe in.
And if I've to sell something I don't use, I'll make it clear to my fans. If I'm ever approached for a gutkha brand, I'll say that it's bad, but will still sell it because the proceeds will go to my NGO", he revealed.

Yash Raj next movie not titled ‘London Ishq’
Yash Raj Films (YRF) officials says that their next production, directed by head honcho Yash Chopra, is not titled “London Ishq”, as has been reported in certain sections of the media.
“Despite repeated confirmations that Yash Chopra’s film still remains untitled, large sections of the media continue to call it ‘London Ishq’. This is completely baseless, inaccurate and detrimental to the film,” said an official statement from YRF.
The yet-to-be titled film, starring Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, started shooting for its first schedule in the third week of February in London. It has been creating a huge buzz all over since the first look was unveiled.
The film also brings together the Oscar award-winning pair of A.R.Rahman and Gulzar, who along with Chopra, are working on creating some wonderful and meaningful music.
