Katrina's legs rescued

Katrina Kaif got her leg badly injured at Film City in Mumbai last week, while shooting for her new project, Dhan Dhana Dhan by Priyadarshan.
According to cast members, Katrina was doing an underwater sequence with Akshay Kumar when her foot got tangled under water.
The more she tried extricating herself the more her leg got tangled. She tried screaming for help. However, due to the noise on the sets including the stunt co-ordinators, shouting instructions to the entire cast, no one heard Katrina's screaming on the top of her voice. Her voice seemed to be drowning in the water.
Finally, Akshay Kumar, the film's leading man, came to rescue and did the needful.
A member of the cast said, "Akshay saw Katrina was in trouble. He quickly swam to her and got her out of the tangle."
Katrina's leg was badly bruised and bleeding profusely. The entire set was panic stricken for a while until the medics arrived and took care of Katrina's wounded leg.
"It could've been worse, " shuddered the source, "But tetanus shots and sedatives have eased her pain."
When contacted Katrina tried to downplay the incident. "It was nothing.I hurt my leg. Nothing serious at all. There was a cut that hasn't healed as yet. So I'm in a lot of pain."

Salman Khan turns 43, looks forward to an eventful 2009


After a year of new milestones and a few setbacks, Salman Khan looks forward to 2009 with renewed vigour as he turns 43 on Saturday.
The most eligible bachelor of Hindi film industry and, as some would say, the most “misunderstood” actor of Bollywood, turns a year older today. Salman Khan, the capricious Capricorn, the moody star, and the pin-up boy of both his female and male fans, still continues to ooze that endearing charm that we saw two decades back in Maine Pyar Kiya .
Today, in the pantheon of Bollywood celebrities, Salman holds his place formidable among the top trimurti – the Khan troika – even though his last few releases may have turned out box office turkeys.
Be it God Tussi Great Ho , or Hello , or Heroes or the much-hyped Yuvvraaj , none of Salman’s films worked at the box-office in 2008. On the contrary, the star shone on the small screen with his ‘Dus Ka Dum’ and got better TRPs than his fierce contender Shahrukh Khan .
Which brings us to the famous spat between Salman and SRK on Katrina Kaif ’s birthday this year. The two stars have had their differences in the past, but this time it got real serious as the duo almost came to blows – as reports say – over an argument, the root of which none seems to know, or reveal at least.
After the spat many believed that Salman would prevent his ladylove Katrina Kaif from joining SRK on his ‘Temptations Reloaded’ tour, but Salman did not do so. Nor did Salman favour any attempts to forge a compromise with SRK.
On the personal front, however, the star achieved a few milestones. He penned a story which is now being made into a film called Veer . He painted a good number of paintings and even made a few canvases of Aamir Khan in his Ghajini look.
As 2008 draws to a close and 2009 is about to begin, Salman looks forward to a couple of big projects. The coming year would see Sallu in at least four mega movies – London Dreams , Veer , Main Aur Mrs Khanna and Wanted Dead And Alive .
Here’s wishing you a very happy birthday, Salman.

Bollywood celebrities attend Mid-Night 'Xmas' Mass


Well, with the entire city of Mumbai haunted with 'Ghajini' fever on Christmas-eve; it was really surprising to see that most of the Bollywood stars were spotted at Midnight Christmas mass. Kareena Kapoor who pairs up with Aamir Khan's '3 Idiots' didn't make her way for the premiere and she was present their attending mass at St. Andrew's Church of Bandra. Kareena's sister Karishma, her mom Babita, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena's best friend Amrita Arora and her fiancé Shakeel Ladak, Dino Morea, Lara Dutta, Arbaaz Khan- Malaika Khan and their son Arhaan, Arora girls' parents were also present there.
Usually, Kareena heads to St. Mary's Church for Christmas Mass Celebrations and this time she couldn't get seats as the church was crowded. Normally, she has her driver reserving some seats earlier and this time he failed to do so. Since Kareena's mom has bad knees, she wasn't in a condition of standing for a long time.
The celebrities could experience a peaceful and silent ambience at St. Andrews Church that helped to get involved in good prayers on the propitious occasion.
