After bollywood has seen so many breakups, Prety Zinta and Ness Wadia are least expected to have it…
But then, sadly, there are visible cracks in the relationship post IPL.
The sources say that Preity’s popularity in the business world, which earlier was ruled solely by Ness Wadia,
the reason behind the differences.
Now here is some typical male ego!!!

Shah Rukh Khan’s magic would have worked for his Indian Premier League (IPL) team but it is clearly not reaping the same results for the much hyped Star Plus quiz show Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain? With opening ratings hovering around at three and four, media planners say it’s 40 per cent less than what was expected from the show. Compare this to the bumper opening of the IPL at eight for the opening match and a consistent all-India ratings of four-five.
While some media planners say the IPL effect is the major reason for the show’s initial failure, others blame its below average content.“It is a little disappointing but if you look at whom the show is competing against which is IPL then it’s not a bad start. We are hoping that it will pickup over a period of time,” CEO of Madison Group Punitha umugam said. With over Rs 150 crore of advertising money riding on this show, Star is under pressure to deliver ratings. And which is why it has tweaked the telecast timings of the show.
We learn that Star Plus has decided to run a repeat telecast of the show during weekdays and again on Sunday to avoid a clash with Sony’s IPL hoping that this would help the channel get more viewership.

Akshay Kumar is no longer just Akshay Kumar he is now Dr. Akshay Kumar as he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Law Degree by University of Windsor, Ontario,Canada for his contribution to the film industry
and his philanthropic work…..
The star was nervous during the ceremonial occasion, “Wow! This really is one of the most nerve-racking days of my life. My hands are shaking. I don’t think even an Oscar would mean as much as this means to me.”
Humble Akki ended the occasion on a great note, “Indians believe that our success lies at the feet of our parents. It’s not I who should be receiving this award, but my parents.”
Akshay Kumar is the Indian Ambassador for the Special Olympics and has been associated with Trillium Health Care Center and Vancouver Children’s Hospital.

Actor Abhishek Bachchan had put on tons of weight for Mani Ratnam’s Guru, post which he was to start shooting for Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar Raj. Ramu, however, was happy for Bachchan’s weight gain. “I required him to look a little healthier. He’s playing a married, settled man in my film, whose lifestyle has undergone a bit of change,” says Ramu.
Abhishek said, “I had put on weight for Guru, and Ramu instructed me to lose just a little of that weight for Sarkar Raj , which I did. Now that the film is over, I can happily come back to my normal self. And I’m glad about that. It’s been ages since I was lean again!”
About Sarkar Raj , Abhi continues, “We’ve worked hard, let’s hope the audiences like what we have put together for them. We work to entertain, and if we manage to do that, we’re the happiest. Audience appreciation is the biggest award an actor can receive!”
