The cover of Nirvana Women magazine’s latest issue says… “Bipasha Basu: Unplugged. The life and style of Bipasha Basu” and then the gorgeous pic of the lady of the cover says it all.

Sunil Shetty gets threatening calls from stuntsman

It is tough time for Sunil Shetty these days. Sunil has been receiving threat calls from a stuntman named Puran Chauhan from Delhi. Chauhan is physically challenged and is a member of Mumbai stuntsmen union. He was hired to work on Shetty’s production ‘Little Godfather’ and had been paid about 2 lakhs for his services. But, Chauhan who had assured the makers that he would help them in getting permission to shoot on railway premises failed to keep up his promise and so was removed from the job.

It was then that he started calling and blackmailing Shetty. When he used abusive language and threatened to harm his family, Sunil lost his cool, abused him back and then, Chauhan recorded the conversation and began blackmailing him.

Shetty has registered a complaint with three different police stations in Mumbai. On the other hand, Chauhan has also filed a complaint against Shetty in Delhi, alleging that the actor-producer has been threatening and abusing him.

Sunil then decided to lie low about the alleged threats only because of his family. He waited until the children’s summer holidays, packed off his entire family for a prolonged vacation until the end of August and then decided to take on the man headlong.

In fact Sunil has given a list of the people who were persuading him to make a compromise with the extortionist to the cops.

“I’m no longer losing sleep because the cops are on the guy’s trail and my family is far away and safe. Once the fear of family flies out, there’s nothing to stop from taking on my tormentors,” says Sunil.

These days Sunil is shooting for Anant Mahadevan’s ‘Red Alert’ in the jungles.

Shamita Shetty in a promotional video for ‘Hari Puttar’

Last week, the Madh Island was all fun as the ravishing Shamita Shetty shot for the promotional video of the film, ‘Hari Puttar-A Comedy of Terrors’, with Zain Khanfor. The song was titled as ‘Tutari Baje’ and the shooting was done in a bungalow situated right at the edge of sea shore. Shamita, looking hot as usual, was all too luring for a ten year old kid.

In the film, Hari Puttar- A Comedy of Terrors, Zain plays a guy who is fond of Shamita. In the video, it is shown that Shamita walks into Zain’s life, his home and what happens after that.

Shamita and her gang of friends kept troubling, pinching and throwing pillows at Zain Khan. The shot was okayed after some nine takes. Zain got impatient with all the pinching and getting pushed around. Every time the director called out for more animation, Zain was seen exclaiming ‘Hey, ours is not an animation film!’.

This is Shamita’s first promotional video for any film and talking about it, Shamita said,

“Yes, I have never shot for a promotional video where I am not acting in the film. There were two reasons, one that the film’s concept and the song is exceptionally good and second that the head of the production, Munish Purii is a dear friend of mine. When he approached me for the song and discussed the details, the way they wanted to shoot it, I was really impressed and readily agreed”.

Amisha also has a sizzling number with Saif Ali Khan in the film about which Amisha has got lots to say, “A lot is happening in the song as it’s the turning point in the film. It’s the first film in the history of Indian cinema that has a song that has lip sync under water.”

Bollywood Star Tania acquitted from the Sex charges

Tania Zaetta, the Boollywood actress, who was allegedly accused of having sexual affair with Australian soldiers in Afghanistan, must have taken sign of relief after the statement of Australia’s military chief acquitting her of charges and thus proved her innocent.
The chief said the charges against her of having sex with soldiers while during the entertainment trip was baseless. He further pledged to apologize to the star. Her name appeared in the defense department’s briefing in which she was charged for having sex affair with troops of Special Forces at a military base in Uruzgan province in April.
Air Chief Marshall Angus Houston reported to a parliamentary committee hearing in Canberra, “There was no substance to the allegations,” he further said, “I will obviously apologize and express my deepest regret about any hurt she has suffered.'’
Zaetta had already denied the charges leveled against her, however, military officials are enquiring about how the confidential information of military report was passed on to a press reporter.
