Cricket over films for now?

I am busy shooting for my movies. I am working on two films. One is a Yashraj film that is being directed by Pradeep Sarkar and has Neil (Neil Nitin Mukesh) opposite me. The other movie is Break Ke Baad, a movie produced by Kunal Kohli. Danish Aslam is directing and stars Imran Khan. Right now I am in Delhi shooting for the first schedule of Break ke Baad.

The IPL debut

I got a call to perform from the organisers. It was a chance for me to perform along with artistes like Lionel Richie, so I jumped at this once-in-a-life time opportunity. It was a huge opportunity to perform at an international level and IPL is connected with sports, so I am happy I did it.

Being brand ambassador for Royal Challengers Bangalore

I am really happy they won. The first half didn’t look promising but in the second innings, they kept the runs in check and were consistent. In fact, they were consist right till the end but they should not take it easy now. They should work hard and aim to win the rest of the matches.

Your cricket IQ?.

I love sports and I do my research. Now that I am connected with the IPL, I am doing my homework on the teams, the players, the game et al.

'Mowgli Girl' found in UP forest walks on fours, screeches to talk, was raised by monkeys

‘Girl Mowgli’ found in UP forest walks on fours, screeches to talk, was raised by monkeys She is possibly eight, prefers to walk on all fours, and screeches to express herself — much like the monkeys that raised her in Uttar Pradesh’s Katarniyaghat wildlife sanctuary until she was “rescued”. At the district hospital in Bahraich, where she is learning to be human, the child is lovingly called the “girl Mowgli” — after the much-adored, wolf-raised protagonist of Rudyard Kipling’s iconic children’s tale The Jungle Book. She was first spotted by villagers foraging in the forests of the sanctuary’s Motipur range in January. The child was naked with a mop of matted hair, tanned by exposure to the elements, and claw-like nails. She was with a troop of monkeys; and was at ease with her wild family. The locals informed police about the unusual sighting and a team brought her to civilization. But the rescue was not easy as the monkeys put up a stiff resistance. The girl was scared of huma...

Death didn't alter the bitterness. The sudden demise of Devendra Ahuja, top banker of Centurion Bank, has heightened the rift in the Ahuja family, as son in law Bobby Deol performed the last rites at Chandanwadi crematorium, even as scion Vikram Ahuja was allegedly kept out of the cremation and wasn't allowed to perform the last rites. Allegedly, this was completely in accordance with Devendra Ahuja's will. Devendra Ahuja (or Dev Ahuja) and Son Vikram Reportedly, the 14 year old battle between father and son escalated after Vikram accused his 74 year old father who'd moved out of the family house to stay with his mistress, 20 years his junior, of being biased towards Bobby Deol and his spouse Tania.
