Twinkle Khanna will be facing the camera after a long gap of 11 years. She will be seen with hubby Akshay Kumar in his forthcoming film Tees Maar Khan. The credit of getting her on screen goes to director Farah Khan who is helming the movie. However,Twinkles fans will have to wait till December when the film hits the screens.

As is Farahs style,Twinkle shot for the signature cast and crew credit roll at the end of the movie where she introduces audiences to everyone who has been a part of the project. And since Tees Maar Khan is her home production,Twinkle,who will feature as a producer in the credit roll,will walk alongside her husband. The scene has Twinkle walking the red carpet when Akshay tries to butt in and steal the limelight only to have himself pushed out of the frame.

All for Love

Kareena Kapoor turned 30 recently amidst fever,medicines,injections and Paris. Tight shooting schedules,success bashes and friend Tusshar Kapoors party did not go down too well with the actress.

But this did not deter her from flying to Paris to be with beau Saif Ali Khan who had a special evening planned out for her. Now that is a woman in love.

Gifted talent

Bhushan Kumar of T-Series has gifted composer Pritam Chakraborty a BMW as a token for his hard work for creating melodious music. Pritam,who has been closely associated with T-Series,was overwhelmed when Bhushan Kumar,a self-confessed automobile fanatic,gifted him the 5th Series BMW 530 D that costs a whopping Rs 50 lakhs. For Bhushan Kumar,Pritam is a genius at what he does and the car was a small gift to appreciate his hard work and dedication towards churning out great music for the industry.

Lightweight

Zeenat Aman,after almost a decade,decided to face the camera once again. She is now making a comeback to acting with Sunjay Sharmas Dunno Y8230; Na Jaane Kyun,as a charming woman in her late 40s. To look the part and to make it more convincing,the beauty queen of the 70s worked on herself for three months before starting work on the film. After yoga,workouts and a strict diet,she managed to get the desired results. Yet on the day of her look-test,yes,even she had to take a test despite her long-standing experience on screen the veteran actress did not eat a morsel the entire day. After the shoot,she had only idlis.

What is amusing is that the outfits made for her earlier became a couple of sizes large after just two schedules,which was after a gap of couple of months,as she had lost 12 kilos. And she had to get new clothes made which even comprised of short skirts that she wore with leggings. So now we can look forward to a gorgeous-looking Zeenat Aman in her comeback film.

Ali Zafar has been receiving a lot of accolades for his performance in his debut film,Tere Bin Laden. But that has not deterred the actor from doing his bit to contribute towards the flood relief in Pakistan. The singing sensation has planned to auction his art,the proceeds of which would go towards rehabilitation of craftsmen affected by the recent floods in Pakistan. Recently The College of Art and Design,Lahore,organised a graphic painting exhibition at the Alhamra Art Galleries featuring many renowned artists, including Zafar. The exhibition will help reconstruct homes and provide medical care to the victims in Pakistan.

Ali started painting during his college days but discontinued it after he got busy with music,only to take it up after a long hiatus on the insistence of his father. He soon plans to even organise a fund-raising concert in hope of roping in Bollywood and international artists to help the needy of his hometown.

So after having disappeared from the scene a few years ago,shes now going to be regularly beamed into our living rooms. Looks like Chitrangda is working hard at making up for the lost time.

Good Deed

Arjan Bajwa did a good deed on his birthday on September 3. He started off his big day by donating blood at a Mumbai hospital. The actor was scheduled to shoot for Hema Malinis directorial venture Tell Me Oh Khuda. But he managed to get her permission to report on the sets a couple of hours late as he wanted to make his birthday special this year. The person who inspired him to do this noble deed,he said,was none other than Salman Khan,who donated blood recently and is known for helping the needy. Arjans mother coming to Mumbai for his janamdin made the occasion more special.
