Dino and Lara get basketball jerseys from NBA star Kobe Bryant

Dino Morea and Lara Dutta may deny being a couple using the cliched ‘We’re just friends’ line but they surely seem to be having a great time in each other’s company. Recently, the duo received an invitation from America’s premiere professional basketball league to attend the NBA match between Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings in LA.

Dino and Lara immediately packed their bags and headed to LA for this short, little break from work. The duo not just got a chance to attend the match but even got a chance to meet and interact with Kobe Bryant- (NBA’s Most Valuable Player- 2008). Not just that, Kobe even gifted them special basketball jerseys with their last names inscribed on it.

Subhash K. Jha speaks about Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!

Oye!… This is one helluva lucky-lucky film about a lucky-lucky chor who nonchalantly enters Delhi’s well-to-do homes, picks up television sets and sound systems…and walks out in broad daylight as though ‘baap ka maal’ - a coinage invented for our super-chor hero Lucky.

Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! is a sly shimmering mirror of a dysfunctional society always craving for more more more…not knowing where the greed to be upwardly mobile finally becomes immobile.

Ashish Chowdhry loses his sister & brother-in-law to terrorism

After two days of uncertainty actor Ashish Chowdhry’s worst fears have come true. His sister Monica and her husband are no more.
Not surprising, Ashish and his wife Shamita (who’s pregnant) remained unavailable for comment.
But good friend Celina Jaitley who’s in Rajasthan couldn’t get over the tragedy. “Almost everyone in that restaurant Tiffins at the Trident-Oberoi including his sister and brother-in-law was gunned down. It was the first venue of mayhem for the terrorists when they entered the Oberoi.”
However, Ashish and his family remained hopeful. “One girl from his sister’s dinner group had run out and somehow fled from the attack out of the hotel. However, she was heavily sedated and Ashish couldn’t get any information from her and kept hoping against hope,” says Celina.
Apparently, on Thursday Ashish ended up getting the wrong information from the Helpline services. Says Celina, “Poor Ashish. He rushed to the hospital, only to see it wasn’t his sister. His hopes were even more dashed as hours turned into days.”
With the confirmation coming in a pall of gloom has descended on Ashish’s household. The actor’s mother has taken the only daughter’s death very badly. Says Celina, “I didn’t know Ashish’s sister that well. But I know that they all doted on her and her husband. What a terrible tragedy. Where will all this end?”
Exactly the question being asked by everyone.
