Sonam: Abhay Deol's intelligent image is all rubbish





Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol is the hottest new pair to hit tinsel town. Sonam was all praises for her AISHA co-star at the music launch of AISHA. Abhay could not make it for the music launch as he was shooting in Spain for Zoya Akhtar's ZINDAGI MILEGI NA DOBARA.

Elegantly dressed in a Westwoods Red Label polka dot cocktail dress, Sonam said, "Abhay Deol's dimples are very cute. He's a hottie. He loves food a lot. He's a typical Panju Deol. This entire intelligent New York image that he has is all rubbish. He's a simple Punjabi boy from Juhu (in Mumbai)."

She further went on to add, "He's extremely sweet and has got a lot of traditional values. He's very possessive about me. He keeps on saying, 'Sonam, don't do this. I made the same mistake' and I'm like, 'Calm down, let me make my own mistake'."

"He's an integral part of the film and has supported us. He's one hero who is confident enough to do this film," revealed the actress.

AISHA is an adaptation of the British novel, Emma by Jane Austen and is set to release on Aug 6...

It's the matter of heart, body and soul that looms large as Kalki fondly talks about her hubby Anurag Kashyap. But here is the catch. Don't expect her to throw those sweet dumplings all around as she details her romantic rendezvous with Anurag. It's all straight and simple actually - the two are in love and they don't need the world around them to acknowledge this fact. Call the couple non-conformist but the fact is that there are no multi million endorsements waiting to happen that could stem out of this pair. It is not just standing strong all by itself without any requirement of social approval but also has a certain belief in itself that it can remain the same forever without any guarantee tag coming in the form of marriage.

"For me, marriage is a just a social convention and hence I don't quite believe in this institution. Also, I am not religious either which could have perhaps made me think a little more about stepping into marriage", says Kalki who sounds pretty much sorted out when she makes this statement, "Why should there be rules? Yes, I would certainly be committed to a person for the rest of my life. Still, I don't see any reason why I should be doing something to prove it to the rest of the world."

A reader of philosophy and a follower of spiritualism, Kalki holds cards close to her chest as she soon reveals that she believes in the saying of 'never say never'.

She smiles as she adds, "Anurag and I are very much happy with the way we are currently. Really, none of us want anything to be changed at all. The going is pretty good so why should we think of bringing in any difference in the way we live our relationship. As a couple we are extremely happy with each other and there are no complains. But yes, tomorrow if both of us feel like getting married, we will go ahead and take the step. We won't tell anyone."

Singer Mika Singh turns life saviour





MIKA SINGH


Singer Mika Singh came to the rescue of an injured and profusely bleeding accident victim in the early hours. Mika, accompanied by singer Rahul Vaidya, was returning home at 4.30am in his Toyota Fortuner car when he saw a crowd gathered on the road at Mumbai's 7 Bungalows area. There seemed to have been an accident presumably a few minutes ago on the other side of the road. On closer inspection they saw a dented Silver Mercedes next to which lay on the ground an injured boy with his motor bike on the road beside him. The boy was bleeding and his body had severe cuts across his neck etc. The crowd around the accident victim was hesitant to take the person to the hospital out of fear of being involved in a police case.

The driver (and owner) of the dented Mercedes car was still inside the car and seemed to be in shock. Since the injured boy was losing blood fast Mika decided to help the victim and immediately picked up the boy and with help of Rahul Vaidya and took him to the nearest hospital Kokilaben Ambani. Along with the injured boy they also took the driver of the Mercedes involved in this accident, so that a proper police case could be registered. The driver, himself in shock from the accident, needed a doctor as well.

An FIR has been registered against the Mercedes driver (named Sameer) at the Versova Police Station while the injured victim has been admitted to the ICU at the hospital.

Ten food tips to help you look better naked

Simple shortcuts that will help slim you down from "Look Better Naked!" by the editor of Women's Health:

1. Eat Dessert: A small amount can signal that the meal is over. A piece of high-quality chocolate is a good choice.

2. Get a Mustache: Consuming 1,800 milligrams of calcium a day could block the absorption of 80 calories. Jump-start your calcium intake by filling your coffee mug with fat-free or 1 percent milk.


3. Spice Things Up: Capsaicin, the substance that puts the hot in hot pepper, temporarily boosts your metabolism. Dairy blocks capsaicin's sweat-inducing signals better than water, though, so pair it with your favorite spicy dishes!

4. Go Organic: That's where you're likely to find bread and cereal with fiber counts that put the conventional choices to shame.

5. Keep the Skin On: Speaking of fiber, a lot of it's in the peel, whether it's potatoes, apples or pears. Even oranges. Don't eat the whole peel, but keep the pith, that white, stringy stuff. It's packed with heart-healthy compounds called flavonoids.

6. Buy Precut Vegetables: Sure, they cost more, but you're more likely to eat them. Low energy snacks should be as easy as possible so you have no excuse not to eat them.

7. Always Snack at 3 p.m.: Having a low-calorie snack mid-afternoon can stave off cravings for high-cal foods that might crop up later. An ounce of nuts or two sticks of string cheese weigh in at about 170 calories.

8. Drink With Your Dominant Hand: If you're circulating at a party, keep your glass in the hand you eat with. If you're drinking with it, you can't eat with it.

9. Plate It: Whatever it is, don't eat it out of the container and don't bring the container to the couch. Your brain actually has to see the food on the plate, and when you reach into a jar or a bag, you don't see it. Eat what's on the plate, then stop.

10. Use Your Fingers: Find a way other than food to work off your nervous energy. Instead of grabbing chips, pick up your knitting or anything else that occupies your hands
