You may not be able to recognize the babe in shots below in the first instance, but let us tell you that she is the same gorgeous Himachal beauty Kangana Ranaut who has graced the silver screen for many hits like ‘Gangster’, ‘Life in a Metro’, ‘fashion’ and the recent ‘Raaz 2’. The girl has obviously gone in for a lip surgery and has come out with awful results. Kangana was spotted with swollen lips in Bandra when she was out on a shopping spree. But when the media and her fans gathered round her to get a few clicks, they were shocked to see that the area around her lips was swollen and she looked awful.

Preity does look really ‘happening’ in the sing which is also titles ‘happening’ for she has slogged real hard to get that ‘happening’ look. She not only followed a special diet but also took up a tough exercise regime and yoga.

However, the flip side of the song is that it looks very much like the ‘Kajra Re’ number done by Aishwarya Rai where Preity is seen making a similar gang of guys sway to her verve. However, the director Prem Soni brushes off this similarity saying, “Unlike Ash, who was just a part of ‘Kajra Re’, Preity plays an important role in the film.”

Preity Zinta said to a news daily, “It’s an interesting cameo. The song’s called ‘Happening’ and I agreed to do it because director Prem Soni is a friend. And since Salman has played Prem so often, let’s just say this one is for Prem.”

Preity Zinta throws sarcastic remarks on Shilpa Shetty

Both Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty are the owners of the IPL teams. Both have been successful actresses on the big screen. So, it is but natural that there would be jealousy, bitching and cat-fights between the two but the kind of statements Preity gave in for Shilpa on the occasion of FICCI’s 10th anniversary celebration can be called least professional.

When asked about the Shilpa-Preity IPL competition, Preity said, “She is not going to play cricket.” She then added, “I own a team, I am an investor in the team, I am the chairperson of the team. It is very difficult for them to digest that I am the boss.”

Preity here supposedly forgot that even she is not going to play cricket and that Shilpa is the boss too of her IPL team Rajasthan Royals. Shetty girl was politically correct saying, “Our teams are in competition.”

Salman Khan cold to Shahid and warm to Rani

Salman Khan is one actor in Bollywood who is known to have more enemies than friends. His list of foes is a long one including big stars like SRK and Salman Khan. Sallu Bhai also shares cold vibes with Shahid Kapoor which has its roots to their fights during the Rockstar tour a few years back. Salman is not the one to bury the hatchets easily. So, when Shahid and Rani Mukherjee appeared on his show ‘Dus Ka Dum’ to promote their upcoming film, ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’, Salman was seen being dry and indifferent to Shahid.

Salman was very warm and comfortable with Rani Mukherjee and kept on hugging her, but he welcomed Shahid with a dry ‘Hi’ and was cold to him during the entire show. The show will be aired on September 12.

The thought is whether it was professional on Salman’s part to cold shoulder a celebrity guest on his show?

Check out Rani Mukherjee in her extra short black dress and do not forget to let us know your comment.
