Sources claim that the actor is currently put in isolation, and the doctors had even contemplated of shifting him to Intensive Care unit, but decided otherwise. "Ranveer's platelet count is not improving and he is experiencing excruciating pain in his bones and severe bouts of shivering. His parents are keeping vigil but they too are not allowed to meet him," said the sources. Singh, 28, contracted the disease when he was shooting in the coalmines of Durgapur, West Bengal. However, despite being unwell, he ignored it and continued shooting till the shoot’s wrap. And once he returned to Mumbai, he was diagnosed with an advanced stage of dengue. "He didn't pay much attention to it but if he was diagnosed two days earlier his condition may not have worsened the way it has," added the sources. Speaking of his alleged girlfriend Deepika Padukone, it is learnt that she has not paid him any visit so far, as she is out of Mumbai. Sources said, "She is currently in Goa, busy shooting for Homi Adajania's film. But I guess she keeps herself updated about his condition."Get well soon, chap!

She feels, “Jackpot is not an A-certificate movie. So, they have to be really careful on what the subject matter is.”“But I don't think there is anything in the movie that requires censorship. It's a very nice family movie that everyone can watch,” added the actress, who entered showbiz with erotic thriller Jism 2. Leone was at the music launch of the film on Saturday. Film’s director Kaizad Gustad is not too happy with the censor board banning the song Eggjactly, by Javed Jaffrey."It's unnecessary. I don't understand why the song has been banned - it's funny and there is humour in it. It is not anything personal it is about the whole country. He has not attacked any one person. The censor board should have some sense of humour. It's just a funny song and he has not offended anybody. He has been very careful to avoid personal attacks," Gustad said.Meanwhile, actor-producer Sachiin Joshi, on the ban, said, "I seriously think it's somebody's ploy against me and I am being targeted."The film has been shot in Goa, and it releases on December 13!

This is also the most frequent observation about Kapoor, a successful star and actor, who always acquired, quite rightfully, the evergreen tag. If you are also wondering about the same, then here we have the answer. Anil Kapoor, 56, does cycling apart from following a strict diet. The actor is often spotted cycling around the Juhu Scheme bylanes in a track suit. At times when people recognize him, he acknowledges them politely and continues to pedal away in the quiet lanes of the plush locality.Though he is near to 60, but Kapoor hardly looks like someone dragging his feet to 60 years, has a slender frame and a flat stomach, a barely wrinkled face mostly (and smartly) shielded by a two-day stubble. His neck is usually covered by buttoned-up formal shirts and smart ties, so it doesn’t serve as a giveaway feature in assessing his age.Once Anil about his physique said, “Moderate and regular exercise (no gym heroics or body conversions from three to six packs, then back to zero), good genes, good diet and a caring spouse.”The funny man also said, hair dye, too, as he said motor-mouth TV personality and former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu when he arrived as a guest on Comedy Nights with Kapil to promote his forthcoming 24.Yes, seldom talked about are a dozen other factors that give Kapoor this winsome age-defiance.
