My Eid will be a family affair says Emraan Hashmi

Actor Emraan Hashmi says his Eid will be a simple affair and that he will celebrate it with family and friends. "It is a very simple Eid. I go and pray in the mosque with my dad. 

Then couple of guests comes over. A grand menu of food is cooked at home," Hashmi told IANS. "It's only family members, friends and guests who are close to the family will come and we will celebrate Eid together. Not anyone really from Bollywood," added the 32-year-old. Hashmi, known as a serial kisser, has worked in films like "Gangster - A Love Story" and "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai".

I Felt Comfortable With Bold Scenes: Vidya Balan

She is at her boldest ever in "The Dirty Picture", but actress Vidya Balan says she never felt a sense of discomfort shooting for the movie as she was in the "trusted hands" of director Milan Luthria.

"I have never enjoyed being a woman more than I did while shooting for 'The Dirty Picture'. I wasn't uncomfortable doing bold scenes because I knew I was in trusted hands," Vidya told reporters here Tuesday. The actress, who reprises late southern siren Silk Smitha's rise and fall as a glamourous star in the film, spoke at the theatrical launch of the film. The movie also features Tusshar Kapoor, Emraan Hashmi and Naseeruddin Shah. "I have worked with Naseer before but this time it was easier...I was less nervous this time," said Vidya, who had teamed up with the veteran actor in "Ishqiya". On working with Bollywood's serial kisser Emraan, with whom she has locked lips in the film, she said: "I was wondering how it would be with Emraan, but it was fun." The trailer promises viewers that Vidya would indeed be seen in a never-seen-before avatar in the film, which is set for release Dec 2.

I Like Cheese Gorge: Sonal Chauhan

Most people had the same reaction when they saw this slender and tall beauty dressed in a black outfit - 'she is the same girl for whom Emraan Hashmi broke the glass in the film Jannat!'

It is none other than Sonal Chauhan about whom they were talking. She looked fresh, lively and vibrant. "In real life also I like things that are larger than life. I am single but I would surely want a guy who does something like what Emran did for me. I don't believe in mediocre stuff," she says.

In Ahmedabad for a promotional tour, unlike her counterparts she just didn't talk about Gujarati food but also sampled it. Khandvi, khaman, sandwich dhokla and Chinese samosa were all laid on the table for her. "Being a Delhite I have tried Gujarati snacks in Delhi but the taste that Ahmedabad gives, can't be compared. I have friends in Mumbai who are from Ahmedabad. It feels good to be here," says Sonal who's earlier come to the state during Navratri.

Now Sonal has all the reasons to smile. Talking about her experience of working with Amitabh Bachchan in Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap, she says, "I feel it was sheer good luck that I got to work with him. It was an amazing feeling to work with a legend like him. Not everyone gets such a chance and that is why I can't stop thanking God enough," says Sonal who is busy with a jewellery show, a romantic untitled Bollywood film and South films.

We are sure she has now pushed her limits and would definitely want to work with the three Khans - Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman. "There are lots of actors that I want to work with. The list is long," she laughs.
Today many films are being directed by newcomers. So is she open to working with them? "I think it is an advantage to work with young directors. They relate to today's youngsters. It is good to see so many talented people making such wonderful films. The connection with the audience is also much better," she avers.

Compliment her on her fabulous body and she says it's all in her genes. "No one believes me, but I'm a complete foodie - I love to gorge on cheese, fried food, chicken and chocolates. I have never gone on a diet. I do work out but don't really follow a daily fitness routine. It is all inherited and I wish I can stay like this and eat everything without thinking twice," she laughs.

Sonal loves to unwind after her hectic schedule by pampering herself and believe it or not she's fascinated by snakes. "I love to pamper myself by going for massages. Not many know but I love snakes. I am fascinated by them. I'll probably be scared of them when I see them in a jungle, but otherwise I am okay with them," says Sonal on a parting note.
