Katrina Kaif’s identity hijacked
Apparently, an impersonator has been using this e-mail id for the past few days. This has obviously inconvenienced Katrina no end. Our source said, “Looks like this impersonator is obsessed with Katrina but little does he/she realise that it is absolutely unethical to send out e-mails posing as someone else.
Katrina is quite hassled.” Katrina discovered this impersonation only last week when a media person brought it to her notice. Our source revealed, “Last week, a lady journalist called Katrina and told her that she had received an e-mail from her. Katrina was shocked because she had not sent an e-mail to that journalist. That’s when Katrina realised that somebody was impersonating her and fooling people. We don’t know how many mails this impersonator may have sent.”

‘Being an Ash lookalike has helped me’ - Sneha Ullal
Her uncanny resemblance to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has made more news than her films. A Salman Khan discovery, Sneha Ullal, who debuted at 17 in Lucky: No Time For Love a couple of years ago, didn’t seem to have luck on her side in B-town. Now, two years later, Sneha is considered hot property in the south, especially in the Telugu industry. With two consecutive hits in Ullasanga Utsahanga and Nene Meeku Telusa, Sneha’s scored some plum projects in Tollywood. She’s just made a special appearance in a song for Nagarjuna’s King and is also playing his leading lady in Current.
So, did Sneha move down south because she isn’t doing well in Bollywood? “It’s just that I was too young to display any talent when I debuted. I was 17 then, and didn’t want to work too hard. So, I groomed myself for two years and then decided to do south films. I was getting some very good roles from the south and decided to exploit opportunities here. Besides being a good training ground, the southern industry is also more professional when compared to Bollywood,” she explains.
So, did she make a mistake when she debuted so young? “In Lucky…, I played a school kid and I also didn’t learn anything from that film. I looked kiddish and was also confused at that phase. So, I took a break to look more mature and improve my acting skills. I’ve lost two years now and don’t want to lose more time,” admits Sneha. But being a Salman Khan find, and having done Aryan with Sohail Khan, why didn’t she cash in on her rapport with the Khan khandaan? “Salman’s always there for me and I’m still in touch with him. But now, I want to make it on my own — without anyone’s backing,” asserts the Mangalorean girl.
What about her reputation as an Ash lookalike — did it help her career? “It was much talked about, so it must’ve somewhere! Yeah, it definitely gave me the fame needed for a newbie, but I don’t want to rely on that anymore. In fact, when I met Ash at an awards function, I apologised for all the lookalike hype around me. She said it’s all media created and advised me to get used to it,” says the actress.
While Sneha promises to stick around in the south, she’s also looking at a re-entry in Bollywood. “In B-town, if you’re in, you’re in. If you quit, you’re out. I’m getting a second chance to make a comeback and want to play it right henceforth. I have a couple of films lined up, so I’m looking forward to them,” she says.
As for the various camps and joining the bikini brigade, Sneha has some strong views. “I don’t think sleeping around can get you work. I only believe in choosing the right script. And while I won’t wear a churidar and be the quiet type, I also won’t resort to skin show. Also, no size zero for me. Heroines need to flaunt their curves — that’s how you make a guy look like s*&t!” she signs off.

Rights of female artistes
Neetu Chandra recently relayed a statement that she was harassed by Dr. Rajasekhar and his wife Jeevitha. Her allegation made a soar in the industry and numerous questions were putforth regarding the rights of artistes in tollywood.
MAA, Andhra Pradesh Movie Artistes Association has a regulated threefold system of solving such issues. The coordinate committee usually handles the petty problems between artistes and producers. It gets promoted to the Film Chamber of Commerce if the disputants are directors and senior stars.
Murali Mohan, president of MAA says that an actress should either approach the council for her rights or the police. She shouldn’t file a case before we sought it out. On the contrary, an advocate of high court, P. Subhash advices women to register a complaint in the IPC section if she was harassed, molested or degraded by any means.
Even though such laws prevail most female artistes hesitate to seek the government’s help as that would spoil their career and will put an end to their survival in the industry. So, many of them tend to stay apart and sort out the issue by other means or through the council. Overall, the verdict on Neetu Chandra’s issue is yet to be out for now.

Katrina Kaif isn’t too hurt
According to cast members at Film City here, Katrina was doing an underwater sequence with Akshay Kumar when her foot got tangled under water.
"The more she tried to extricate herself the more her leg got tangled. She tried to scream for help, but because of the noise on the sets including the
stunt co-ordinators who were shouting instructions to the entire cast, no one heard Katrina’s screams of pain," a unit member told us.
Finally, Akshay bailed her out. "Akshay saw that Katrina was in trouble. He quickly swam to her and got her out of the tangle," said the unit memeber.
Katrina’s leg was badly hurt. "It could’ve been worse," said the source, "but tetanus shots and sedatives have eased her pain."
When contacted, Katrina tried to downplay the incident saying: "It was nothing. I hurt my leg. There was a cut that hasn’t healed as yet. So I’m in pain." [source:IANS]

Jr. NTR to pair up with Nayantara
Realizing her potential and wanting to capitalize on her rising stardom, V.V. Vinayak decided to cast her opposite Junior NTR in his forthcoming film, which will have one more heroine. But there is one more reason for Nayantara becoming the main heroine of this film; V.V. Vinayak’s first choice Ileana could not provide dates, so he settled for Nayantara who seems to be the new rage of Andhra Pradesh.
This might be disappointing news to fans of Ileana D’Cruz who enjoyed her role as Jr. NTR’s close friend in Rakhi. But V.V. Vinayak has little choice with Ileana being busy with two films (one opposite Nitin and another with Ram).
Nayantara, who rocked in Dubai Seenu and Salute, knows that this is a great opportunity for her and would definitely want to make the best use of it. Now, that means the fans are in for a big treat
