Though Deepika Padukone started off her career with Shah Rukh Khan in 'Om Shanti Om', she says that she is more eager to work with Salman Khan.

"In fact we were supposed to be paired up much earlier but then a couple of films didn`t quite work out. That`s sad but I am sure that in near future, we would be paired opposite each other," said the actress, who will next be seen with Farhan Akhtar in `Karthik Calling Karthik`.

The 23-year-old has already worked with hotshots like Akshay Kumar `Chandni Chowk To China` and Saif Ali Khan `Love Aaj Kal` and will next be seen opposite Abhishek Bachchan, Imran Khan and Neil Nitin Mukesh in `Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se`, `Break Ke Baad` and YRF`s untitled film respectively.

Bollywood has always given more importance to glamor and young heroines rather than old 35 plus heroines. But few heroines defied that myth and have succeed beyond 35 plus.

KAJOL
----------

Kajol is in the news again as an actress for her blowtorch-intense performance in My Name Is Khan. Thirty-five, married, a mother (incidentally, when mother-of-two Dimple signed Sagar, she was just 25) and yet Kajol is accepted as a romantic heroine it's definitely remarkable!

After five superhits together (Baazigar, Karan Arjun, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and K3G) the SRK-Kajol pair is likely to notch up a sixth with My Name Is Khan if initial collections are anything to go by.

Contrary to reports that Miss India Earth 2009, Pooja Chopra, will star opposite Jackie Bhagnani in his father Vashu Bhagnani's film Faltu, the truth is that Pooja is not doing the film.Talking to reporters yesterday, Pooja said that she was grossly upset with Vashu for leaking it to the press that she was doing the film before she had signed it.

Pooja said that Vashu offered her Faltu before she embarked for the Miss India contest. The next thing she knows is that there were reports saying that she's doing his film. Her agency got into action and did some damage control.

She's not supposed to sign any film till she crowns her successor, which will happen in April 2010. But she's definitely not going to sign Faltu even now because this whole incident has left her with a very sour taste.

Vivek Oberoi seems to have had a ball shooting for Kookie Gulati’s ‘Prince’. His closeness to co-star Neeru Bajwa was rather talked about but it now looks like he’s also quite intimate with Aruna Shields, the lead actress of Prince.

The duo got intimate after they filmed for a kissing scene in Prince. According to sources, they were seen spending quite a lot of time together and got along really well too.

Though it is unknown if they are in a serious relationship, seeing as Aruna has returned to the UK, from where she hails, it seems she will be returning once the film nears release. Wow, looks like someone’s scored a girl here, doesn’t it? Good to go, Vivek!

If Valentine Day meant starry admiration taken to greater heights, then fans and admirers did gladden the hearts of two beauties Katrina and Sonam kapoor

The Kapoor gal was lavished with a bouquet of 200 roses from a silent admirer, who preferred to…go nameless. Nevertheless, sassy Sonam tweeted merrily, thanking the sender and stating that the bouquet had made her day…

Katrina Kaif, on the other hand, found herself at the receiving end of a bouquet which comprised purple lotuses only! Immensely flattering, coz' kool classy Kat was left wondering as to how the special sender knew of her fave flower!

Bollywood glamour-doll Katrina Kaif, who has been nominated at the forthcoming 55th Filmfare Awards in best actor group for her appealing role in "New York", said that she is glad with her nomination and won't mind if someone else wins the prize.

She said that each and ever person wishes to win prize for his/her work.

She also said that when a producer makes a film, he want it to be a megahit. And in the same sense, when you are nominated naturally you want to win.

"But honestly I am so used to not winning that just the nomination is enough," she said.

Deepika Padukone's on-off relationship continues to make news. The duo looked great in Bachna Ae Haseeno, but weren't paired thereafter. Reportedly, with their personal equations undergoing a change, the actors have decided against working together.

"Completely untrue. I would love to work with Ranbir. And Ranbir is a professional too. These are mere rumours and shouldn't be entertained."

So why haven't the duo signed any film together?

"Ranbir and I have decided that till such time we aren't offered a script that inspires us, we won't work together. I am keen to work with him. So is he. We looked great in Bachna Ae Haseeno," Deepika said.

Fans usually die for a single look of their favorite stars. They stand for an hour for one glimpse, for autographs, a click but if they are neglected or unnoticed then they feels disheartened. Something similar has been experienced by Aishwarya Rai Bachan’s fan when she draped in green and pink sari walked out from the mall guarded by guards and director Vipul Shah.

As Ash walked out, fans in large number gathered to get a glimpse of the one of the most beautiful woman of the world but Ash neither bothered to stop and give them a smile or nor acknowledged them. They waved their hands but Ash felt more disgusted and walked away.

After making it to the cover of Maxim India, long-past-demure and now-bindaas Amrita Rao is all set to feature in an upcoming issue of the US version of the magazine too. The white outfit she wore for the cover must've upped her hotness quotient.

Among all the other B-Town beauties (Sushmita Sen, Sameera Reddy etc) to appear on the cover of the mag recently. Rao will be the first Indian actress to appear in the US version of the mag as well. Who'd have thought!
