Shahid and Priyanka have Split again

Priyanka and Shahid have split-up again. The couple has even stopped following each other on the community site twitter. The both broke-up before Christmas. Piggy Chops was supposed to start shooting for her upcoming movie Anjaana-Anjaani in New York on January 3, but she decided to leave a week in advance for the shoot. She was trying to run away from the memories.

Previously, Shahid has decided to split. However, he realized that Priyanka meant a lot to him. When they thought they wanted to stay together, somehow things started to go wrong between them, and this time Priyanka decided to end their relationship. The break-up is not harmonious. Priyanka and Shahid have always had a rough relationship, and all their common friends knew that they were going to part their ways. Both the people have different and strong personalities, and are completely different from one another, and that has often created arguments and fights.

A close source to the couple reveals, “They had a huge fight before she left for her New York schedule. Shahid brought up the subject of her co-star Ranbir, which irritated her and things got ugly. Earlier whenever there was a tussle, Priyanka would try to make peace. However, this time she was not in a mood to fix it.” Another reason for the break-up was Priyanka’s friendship with Mubina Rattonsey. The source also said, “After Shahid broke-up with Kareena, he got close to Mubina. It was also believed that she was more than a confidante to him but then things went wrong, and they drifted apart.”

Priyanka Chopra was introduced to Mubina through some close friends and they got along instantly. However, Shahid did not like their friendship. He thought that Mubina would influence Priyanka against him. He asked Priyanka to stay away from her but she did not listen to him. Eventually they started to fight more, rather than enjoying with each other, and Priyanka decided to end it.

Kunal Kohli’s next with Deepika and Imran

After Deepika’s brake-up with Ranbir Kapoor, she is doing a film with Imran called Brake Ke Baad. That is Kunal Kohli’s next movie, he will be producing the film rather than directing. He says, “My director Danish Aslam and I always wanted to call his film Break Ke Baad because it is about a couple Imran and Deepika who break-up and want to come together.”

Earlier the title was registered with someone else. Kunal was unable to locate the legal owners of this title anywhere in Mumbai. Kunal says, “We finally tracked it down to Bangalore to a 60 year old gentleman who deals in electrical goods. He owns a company called Seva Films. He hopes to make films that would change the world. Break Ke Baad is one of the titles he had registered. He loved our idea and gladly parted with the title.”

The most difficult part was to get a permission to shoot in Delhi. Kunal says, “I could write a thesis on what I have gone through to get permission to shoot in Delhi.” However, his problem did not end there. He was also denied the permission to shoot on the Gold Coast. The entire movie is set in Australia and Delhi.

Break Ke Baad will be Kunal’s first film as an independent producer.

Imran Khan gifted his long time girlfriend now fiancee a Volkswagen Beetle specially imported from Europe as an engagement gift.

A source says, “Imran gifted her a red Beetle as her engagement present. He got the car from Europe and was at it for a month and a half.”

Imran says, “I knew that Avantika had always wanted this car, even six years back when we were studying in the US. So, I just knew that I had to buy one for her and this occasion was just the perfect excuse. Since the car has just launched, I had to convince the top bosses to let me have one, way before it actually hits the roads in a few months time. That took quite an effort. But her smile made it all worth it.”

Imran and Avantika also have matching number plates on their cars, he reveals, “Both of our license plates are a combination of her and my birthdates. She totally freaked out. She couldn’t believe it.”

Imran’s engagement was held at a farmhouse in Karjat and was attended by friends and family.

The source adds, “It is a very private affair and only family and close friends are invited.”

Imran and Avantika had been dating each other for the last five years.

Celebs give advice on handling stress

DSC_0189

After watching 3 Idiots our B-town celebrities are giving advice to their young fans about handling stress in the class. Read below to know more:

Kangana Ranaut: “I left school when I was 16. But I’m glad to tell you I’ve always been a topper in my class. To achieve that I used to study 18 hours a day. The science in school didn’t help me much in my daily life as an adult. But the passion to be the best in my class and the love for books remain. Now I’m an artiste and I read on art. And I thank my hard work during school for this.”

Celina Jaitely: “I’ve done one and a half years of BSc and have a software engineering degree from NIIT. I scored 89 percent in 10th boards and 75 per cent in 12th. I used to feel very stressed during board exams. Thanks to my parents I made it through all my panic attacks.

“Playing a sport like tennis or swimming is a great way to keep fresh and alert. I remember my mother insisted we play a sport for half an hour even during exams. It was a great stress buster. Focus well on your studies. Do meditation and take power naps.”

Urmila Matondkar: “I’m a BA in psychology. I was always under stress in both school and college as I had to manage both studies and acting. I dealt with it by diverting stress into positive aggression in my studies.

“My advice to students: Stress is part of life. You can’t run away from it. So, deal with it before it’s too late. It helps to be book-smart at any time of life, as long as you learn from those books and not just mug.”

Dino Morea: “I became a graduate. Was never stressed at school. Had the best time ever. Yes, if reading and being aware of a subject is being book-smart, for sure it’s handy in life. I was never depressed in school. I was naughty, but I studied hard.”
