When Shahid Kapoor got mobbed by fans!!!

Its common knowledge that Shahid Kapoor is a youth icon amongst college going kids. But a recent incident actually displayed how popular he is even in smaller towns than Mumbai. The Kismat Konnection star got mobbed by college students, especially girls during his shooting trip to Pune.


Shahid was shooting for Vishal Bharadwaj’s romantic comedy, Kaminay in Pune. It was meant to be a hush hush shoot. But when students came to know that Shahid was shooting in the city word spread like wild fire and Pune being a campus city for college students it was not difficult to locate shooting in the city. His fans mobbed Shahid. Finally, director Vishal Bharadwaj had to ask for extra security to take care of his fans. In the chaos that ensued, some local news reporters who had come to interview Shahid too were shooed off by the security men thinking they were just Shahid’s fans trying to get closer to the actor. Shahid however was extremely surprised as he had never imagined he would generate so much craze ever.

No one ever called me sexy: Deepika Padukone


Model-turned-actress Deepika Padukone, who is set for her second release 'Bachna Ae Haseeno', is feeling ecstatic after topping the popular Maxim Hot 100 girls' worldwide list.

'I really didn't expect it. I'm really excited. People always used to call me either cute or pretty, but no one ever called me sexy. I take it as a compliment,' said Deepika

Although the young actress is flattered by the title, she did not feel even a tad embarrassed.

'There is nothing wrong in being called sexy. I think the term itself has been misunderstood. People think that a person is sexy only if she is wearing tiny clothes. But for me, being sexy is about being mysterious and having your own personality and certainly has nothing to do with a person's fashion sense,' she held.

After being a top model, and coming up with a successful debut with super hit 'Om Shanti Om', Deepika has become a Bollywood star, but she says stardom hasn't affected her as her feet are firmly grounded.

'Stardom has not changed me. I believe I am the same person. I am too new in the industry. I like being in front of the camera and I love acting,' said the 22-year-old.

'I'm very close to my parents and they handle my money. I even discuss my work with them every evening,' added the actress who is set for her second release, 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'.

While in 'Om Shanti Om' Deepika shared screen space with superstar Shah Rukh Khan, she has been paired opposite real life beau Ranbir Kapoor in 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'. The romantic drama also stars Minissha Lamba and Bipasha Basu and is being directed by Siddharth Anand.

In the film, Deepika plays an NRI girl called Gayatri.

'Gayatri is an independent girl who knows what she wants. She is focussed. She is modern as well as traditional in her thoughts. The role is very similar to the person I am.'

The actress, who will be seen with Akshay Kumar in 'Chandni Chowk To China', says both she and Ranbir are focussing on their career and try to give as much space as possible to each other.

'Right now we are focussing on our career and what we are doing in front of the camera. At the end of the day, we are both actors. One plays a certain character in a film and so we cannot let possessiveness come in between. We have to understand each other.'

Having already worked with big banners like Red Chillies Entertainment and Yash Raj Films, will Deepika stick to only big banners in future?

'I want to focus on commercial cinema as of now. But, if I find any offbeat film or a small production house with a good role, I would love to go for it,' she said.

She has been roped in to play an important role in 'Jab We Met' fame director Imtiaz Ali's next venture.
