Revealed: Hazel Keech, Salman Khan's new girl

Ladies and gentlemen, Hazel Keech is the latest girl from B-town,who has caught the fancy of our very own Dabangg star Salman Khan. 

The lovely lass is starring in Sallu's new film Bodyguard, directed by his brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri. The two have been seen bonding big time on the sets, so much so that Sallu miyan has been taking the pains to teach her how to ride the bike, has been giving her acting tips. 

But the question everybody asking is just who is this Hazel Keech?

According to reports the starlet was born to an Indian mother and British father in Essex, north-east London. From childhood she was introduced to different dances by her mother. At ten, she was already learning Bharat Natyam. 

Hazel got her first break as an extra on Harry Potter's second, third and fourth series of films as Rose Dawn. She has also performed on Brit TV shows like ‘Call The Shots’ and ‘Miss Maple’. 

Sonakshi Sinha has hots for Anushka's boyfriend

Sonakshi Sinha has set her eyes on Ranveer Singh. 

The Dabangg girl seems to have the hots for the Band Baaja Baraat munda, which was quite obvious on Koffee With Karan. 

She just couldn't stop gushing about the B Town's newbie and said how she would love to date him if he was 'single'. 

When KJo mentioned it to Ranveer's current girlfriend Anushka Sharma who was with him in the hot seat in the following week she retorted, "He is all yours. Please go ahead."

Bollywood hotties and their Dirty Dancing

Be it 1950s or 2011, item songs have always been seen as the X-Factor of Hindi films. Sreya Basu finds out what makes the hip-shackers a guaranteed success at the Box Office

Back in 1960s Helen’s name on film posters used to be magnified and got more space than the heroine’s. And a dance number by Bindu or Aruna Irani was like an insurance policy for the film’s success. 

The scene remains unchanged even today where Salman Khan needs a Munni Badnaam to garnish his Dabangg. Or, Sheila Ki Jawaani saves Farah Khan from being doomed by an otherwise flop Tees Maar Khan. 

No matter how much film-scholars scrowl or criticize item numbers, Hindi films are unimaginable without the taadka of hip-swivelling chartbusters. 

Talking about item numbers, how can we forget the ‘hottie ready to go naughty’ attitude of item girls!

Anushka Sharma gets a lift on Katrina's Kaif's chartered flight. Read on to find out how... 

Since debuting in Boom (2003), Katrina Kaif has remained more or less aloof from and reserved with other actresses.
