The leading ladies of his movie Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta are having tough times with each other. Esha and Bips were seen together for the first time in the movie Raaz 3, wherein they were seen as sisters who weren’t so fond of each other, and this is happening in the real life too.

Also, Sajid's fondness for Esha is making Bipasha go green.”The source also says that the two actresses have very different roles, but Sajid is battling with this catfight. The source further added, “Bipasha and Esha behave as if they are the best of friends in front of others but cannot stop bickering about each other to their respective staff.”When the director Sajid was asked about his catfight, he said, “They haven't shot a single scene together.

We all know that India is counted as a developing nation, but it is learnt that megastar Amitabh Bachchan is not at all happy about this fact. "I feel proud of the fact that those very things that India was once criticized for, like our growth of population, etc is now looked upon by developed nations for great consumer consumption. It goes well. I hate India being called as a developing nation. I want it to be known as a developed nation. I think we are moving forward in that direction. I don't believe in goals. I hope there is some opportunity and challenge that the future directors will offer me. Each decade is providing great expansion in our medium of media and entertainment. Like the growth of television, growing mobile penetration," Bachchan said.He added, "In our business of films we are judged by people like you. Audiences make us, their taste changes. They decide what kind of films and actors they like to watch. It is important to be in tune with the audience. The most difficult task in our business is to know what they are going to like and dislike."If we are able to judge how the audience will appreciate a particular kind of film, then we will make those kind of films. But we don't know what will work how and when. Corporate have research department, but in film business audience taste and thinking keeps changing."Well said, Big B!

Just my mom and I are a misfit in this Ramayan," Sonakshi said.Meanwhile, the actress also broke her silence on her father’s extra-marital affair with yesteryears’ actress Reena Roy, who Sonakshi resembles to.

But I'm not going to crucify my father for something he did years back. It is his past. And everybody has a past. So I don't think too much about it. Nor do I pay attention to it. Like I said, it just makes really good headlines and juicy gossip to some people. But for me, this is my family," says the actress, who also clarified that if anyone she resembles to, is her mom and not Reena Roy.Good that you chose to clarify!
