Did you know about Aditya Chopra’s fetish for unwed mothers? Well, he always had a fancy for making a film on them and so he finally produced Salaam Namaste. Years back, he had loved Kya Kehna!, Preity’s debut film where she played an unwed mom. He even gave the Tauranis of Tips his suggestions for their publicity design. It was his idea to show prominently a nine-month pregnant Preity carrying a college bag.

Quite on the menu

It was a kiss, miss, so to say. Ayesha Takia gave the prestigious Yash Raj banner a miss just for a kiss! In Yash Raj’s next production, Neil and Niki, Ayesha was to lock lips with Uday Chopra. But she’s not comfortable kissing onscreen, so sad for poor Uday. So the babe promptly opted out of the film instead of creating a fuss later. Since rumours are ripe that Ayesha is in love, and doesn’t want it to be a ‘public affair’ she is keeping everything under cover. But was her decision to act coy something to do with her newfound love? Here’s one more Bollybabe who seems to have fallen for a restaurateur. She’s been spotted lately with restowala Farhan Azmi.

Sunjay Dutt

Bunkus bandh, kya!

Here’s another nixer. Sunjay Dutt has also refused Yash Raj’s offer of a whopping Rs 1.5 crore for one of their forthcoming projects! His reason is a bit different, though. Sunjay wants to slow down a bit. No, not on his diet, but on running between the court and the sets. He’s cutting down on films, has done away with his secretary, Kalim, and now has friend Nitin Manmohan helping him with dates. He also wants to return some of the signing amounts. Whoa!
