The after effect!

Vishal Dadlani

So what if he was blamed for passing on his fever to Big B during the tour? Vishal and Shekhar have stayed hot with Bachna Ae Haseeno and are looking forward to Dostana. He’s clearly on a high!

Riteish Deshmukh

After dancing around the world, he’s now refused to dance in Jaane Kahan Se Aayee Hai because he plays a loser and firmly believes that losers can’t dance, sala. And we heard he is humming the same Jaane Tu song with the film’s heroine, and his current crush, Genelia D’souza. And yeah, he is playing Aladdin in Sujoy Ghosh’s film too. Busy busy!

Abhishek Bachchan

Poor, poor guy! He had no idea that even after all those accolades abroad, Drona would land him in such a mess. But Abhi’s got Dostana coming up. So temple visits are keeping him busy.

Aishwarya Rai

Her eyes have been noticed more than her dancing skills. She made it to the top of US TV E!’s Sexiest Body Parts list just for her eyes. The tax men seem to have their eyes on her material assets too, as she’s got into money troubles. And then there’s the taxing time she went through, with her pa-in-law and dad in hospital at the same time.

Amitabh Bachchan

Apart from all the apologies he had to tender the moment he landed in Mumbai (because of his wife’s big mouth), The Last Lear – supposedly his best performance in recent times – sank without a trace. Then Big B ended up in hospital, and now he is at home blogging about the pain of being in bed. Not the best of times!

Preity Zinta

She has just won the Best Actress award at the Chicago International Film Festival for her role in Heaven on Earth. Smart move by Preity to use her US time to do a bit of lobbying. Congrats!

Shekhar Ravjiani

He’s finally ditched his grey and black stripe T and is looking for some more fame with the music of Dostana and Aladdin.
