When they get successful they usually prefer to be alone. It8217;s tough for some people to share their good times. Look at Chandrachur Singh. Things went wrong between him and his girl friend once success knocked on his door.

But he is not alone. Almost every second celebrity in tinseltown has a similar story to tell. That is why we will not react to the news of Raageshwari breaking up with Sanjay Narang. The two appeared absolutely in love and the actress even gave interviews to this effect recently to a film magazine. But now we hear it8217;s all over. Well, what can we say except that these things happen here all the time.

Ladies man

Remember Anjala Zaveri? Yeah, the same girl who made her debut with Himalayputra. Remember, she made sure that we all knew that she got a raw deal in the film? Of course, we believed her, for this happens to most newcomers. Her career may not be in the best of shape but her private life isn8217;t that boring. I saw her at Hemal Thakker8217;s private discotheque a few nights ago. And even before anyone could utter her name, she was gone. Not alone though. The host disappeared with her. This guy does have a weakness for filmi upstarts 8212; Raveena, Deepti, Manisha, Neelam, phew! The list of his involvements go on and on.

Two to party

If you can8217;t afford to have a party all by yourself or perhaps can8217;t manage a decent crowd on your own, just share half your party. That8217;s exactly what Alvira, Atul Agnihotri8217;s wife, did. You did know she is also Salman Khan8217;s sister? She had a birthday bash but decided to share her list of invitees and the expenses with a friend. So the next time you feel broke just have a party 8212; sometimes good friends make life easier.

Damp squib

Why does this happen so often? A film gets launched with pomp and splendour and then things go wrong. It happened to Pahlaj Nihalani8217;s Indian, starring Aishwarya Rai and Sunny Deol, and apparently it8217;s happening to Firoze Nadiadwala8217;s, Raftar as well. Steven Segal had attended this mahurat at a five star hotel and there was a lot of hype and publicity. Now, the latest rumour is that Sanjay Dutt, the hero, is no longer doing the film. And the official reason? Obviously the most predictable excuse date problems. Sunil Shetty is being pencilled in for role. Watch this space for further developments on this front.

Perfect ten

After a whole lot of names that were considered to complete Dus, Mukul Anand8217;s unfinished project, it8217;s Ramesh Sippy who has been chosen to finish the film. Priyadarshan, David Dhawan and many others backed out but Sippy has finally decided to give this stranded project a helping hand.

Bad joke

We knew that Raza Murad was also doing television but I was surprised to read that he had shifted to New Jersey where he was working for a computer firm. This news however was a bigger surprise to the actor himself. He promptly issued denials saying that he is still acting. The actor also went on to explain that someone was trying to sabotage his career. Yeah, maybe it8217;s an Amitabh Bachchan or Shah Rukh who got insecure. Get the joke?
