Tech tutor for kat!

Don’t expect to follow Katrina Kaif on Twitter or become friends on Facebook anytime soon. Unlike her contemporaries like Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, Katrina isn’t going to be connecting with millions of fans online. Her reason is simple. “I can’t write short sentences,” she says, with a disarming smile. “Twitter has a limit of 140 characters and I think in long sentences. Actually, I think in long paragraphs,” she adds. What about FB? Status updates on FB have no word count and she could write reams if she wanted. “I am technologically challenged. I still haven’t been able to figure out how to transfer a picture from my phone or camera to the laptop or iPad,” she sighs. Maybe, she just needs a good teacher. Any volunteers?

VIRAT THE ACTOR

He has delivered ginormous blockbusters with Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. But now a non-actor has managed to impress Prabhudheva. About 10 days ago, the Rowdy Rathore director directed cricket star Virat Kohli in a high-octane ad for a shoe brand and Prabhu has become a fan. “Virat is such a talented boy. Everyone knows that he is great on the field, but he is also very comfortable shooting action stunts. Though the ad doesn’t have any dance sequences, I saw him dance off camera and he is good. And he is good-looking. I think Virat Kohli can be a Bollywood actor if he wants to be,” gushes Prabhu. So, is Virat interested? “I am a cricketer and that’s what I will always focus on. I have never thought of a career in front of the camera,” says the blue-eyed boy of Indian cricket who has quite a female fan following.

HUBBY COMES FIRST

Every wife knows that when the husband starts to stray you either get out of the marriage or reclaim his attention. This Bollywood wife spent almost every minute of her recent vacation in London hovering around her superstar husband and their kids. The reason everyone in Bollywood is gossiping about this is that on previous vacations the wife used to be seen more in the company of her girl gang, who would be holidaying in the same city, rather than spending time with her family. Even when the husband and wife could step out for meals, they would be surrounded by a bunch of their friends. Not this year. The wife was very categorical with their friends about wanting to re-focus on her marriage and family. Hopefully, all this quality time has been good for her marriage.
