They were both very worried about him," said a source."He's at a low ebb right now and enjoyed seeing Kristen. One thing led to another and they've hooked up quite a few times since in secret.

And now Sood will be seen playing the main villain opposite Shahid Kapoor in R… Rajkumar."Prabhudeva has repeated Sonu in R... Rajkumar after Ramaiya Vastavaiya. While he had a very strong part to play as Shruti Haasan's brother in the latter, Sonu has been roped in as the main villain opposite Shahid Kapoor in the former. Prabhudheva finds him really non-fussy and after these two films, he plans to repeat the actor in his future outings as well," informs a source.Acknowledges Prabhudheva, "Sonu Sood is a very nice guy. He may be playing a villain in R... Rajkumar but he is a great guy. He is terrific in the film and his combination with Shahid and Sonakshi is quite remarkable. Out here is totally different from what he had done in Ramaiya Vastavaiya. While he was a little serious and emotional there, in R... Rajkumar, he is playing to the gallery and is very entertaining. Seldom do you find a villain who makes you smile as well as get angry on him. However he has managed to do that. As for my personal equation with him, I am happy and lucky to be his friend." Glad to work with Prabhu, Sood said, "I share a great rapport with him. When a director repeats you in back to back films then you are bound to feel nice. Prabhudheva has blind trust in me and that matters a lot. I am flattered to be a friend of Prabhudheva." Who would not be? LOL!

Once Amitabh Bachchan said in a statement that people in filmdom used to criticise him in his initial stage because of his giraffe length height, but instead of getting disappointed from the comments he fought with the community and proved his mettle to the entire industry.Something similar has experienced by Bollywood actress Nimrat Kaur, who says when she landed in tinsel town, people had different opinions about her look. She had an illiberal experience when a filmmaker advised her to go for a plastic surgery. She said, “When I came into the industry, people had different opinions about how I look. Some told me I was too pretty, others said I wasn't fair enough or tall enough. Nearly seven years ago, I was even advised by a filmmaker to consider plastic surgery. Soon, I stopped thinking about what works.”The actress, who stars in much acclaimed film The Lunchbox, has been now praised for her looks and performance by audience and critics as well. About the success she said, “I am happy with the kind of launch I have got. It is a very exciting time for actors as roles that can surprise them are being written. this was not the case 15 years ago. A film like The Dirty Picture would not have been possible then. Also we, including the audience, are more exposed to world cinema these days. Its effect has seeped into the industry. Filmmakers today have a wider vocabulary.”Way to girl!

Bollywood starlet Mallika Sherawat’s debut show on television The Bachelorette India-Mere Khayalon Ki Mallika has failed to ring a bell at TRP meter and gets an average opening of 1,700 TVT in its opening week. It was premiered on Life OK on October 7. The rating is much lower than what other non-fiction shows got in their first week. For instance, Kaun Banega Crorepati garnered 8,705 and Bigg Boss 7 got 5,080 TVT.The Bachelorette India is the first official version of the international reality show-The Bachelorette because we have seen three and half versions of this same reality show on Imagine TV but then they were not official version but were inspired.Though the show was launched with much pomp and glory but it seems the audiences are not interested in Mallika’s hunt for her life-partner. Maybe it’s lure for big bucks that might have prompted Mallika Sherawat to scout for a partner through a reality show because it is difficult to believe that a Bollywood actress, who has had a tryst with Hollywood, hasn’t been able to find a companion.Let’s see if she really gets a suitor or everything is scripted.
