Sources said,“Kangna has come a long way from the days of her debut film Gangster. Directors realise her potential and have no qualms in giving her the fee she deserves.”
However, Kangna, on her part, said, “I can’t discuss my fee.”

It happened in New Castle, UK, where Dia was shooting for her film “Hum Tum Aur Ghost”. The actress, after her shoot, walked straight to her room,while on a call, not realising that the Real Madrid star was sitting in the lobby of the building. In fact, she was shocked when her entourage asked her if she met the footballer, who was in the lobby waiting for one of his friends.
Ronaldo had already left by the time Dia reached the lobby to meet him.
She has been his huge fan for a long time and follows almost every game he plays. She said that it was her loss, as she has been dreaming to meet him. She added that she had missed a golden opportunity.
Better luck next time Dia..

According to the latest Gross Rating Point (GRP) assessment of various channels, STAR Plus is number one again, after a period of about eight months. Its GRP now stands at 300.
The reason that STAR Plus is at the top position today is its carefully placed serials – two of them, in particular – Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (7.1 TRP), and Bidaai (6.9 TRP). Coincidentally, both shows are presented by the same producer, Rajan Shahi.
“I cannot speak for the channel, but I can definitely speak about my shows. They are in the top two positions only because of their credibility and stability. I want to thank the channel for not putting us under any pressure to deviate from the original storyline,” says Rajan Shahi.
He adds that this latest development gives his team a morale boost, especially since the pressure of competing with the IPL is around the corner.
At second position is Colors, with a GRP of 286 and ZEE TV is in third position, with a GRP of 246.
Given that each of the channels is constantly striving to leave the others behind in this rat-race to the top, it’ll be interesting to see how shows shape up for the next few episodes as Colors fights to regain its top position, and the STAR Plus hangs on to it’s new title for dear life.

Vipul Shah’s schedules for Action Replay seem to be going awry for no fault of any body’s. First it was his principal actors’ choc-a-block schedules that delayed the film. Now when the film had just two more songs to be filmed, Vipul is again left high and dry, and this time it’s the weather god who is to be blamed.
The song was to be shot in Manali. “And who would have thought there would be snow in Manali in February? It has never happened before!” marvels Vipul.
“We had planned the whole song schedule for a time when we were sure there would be no inclement weather. When we got to know there was heavy snowfall we were stunned. There was no way we could shoot,” says Vipul who now needs to find alternative dates for the Manali song.
Vipul!! rather than delaying the release of the film further, you may drop the song completely..
