Bollywood has a strong army connection. It boasts of having a lot of actors who come from military backgrounds and bring their ‘army upbringing’ to the work they’re doing.

So just in case you’re wondering where some of them get their disciplined lifestyle, bold nature and strong survival instinct from, you must know that it’s their army background in play!

We get you a list of Bollywood’s proud army kids. We’re glad they have an army background because if it weren’t for that, they maybe wouldn’t be what they are today.

Anushka Sharma

Anushka’s father, Colonel Ajay Kumar Sharma served as a Major in the Indian Army. She spent most of school life in cantonment schools across the country. A proud army child, she owes her personality and outlook towards life, completely to her army background.

Preity Zinta

This bubbly actress’ father, Durganand Zinta, was an officer in the Indian Army. He passed away in a car accident when Preity was just 13. Her brother Deepankar, is a commissioned officer in the Indian Army. Along with being a naughty tomboy as a child, she was also very disciplined and continues to be that way even today.

Priyanka Chopra

Her father, Dr Ashok Chopra and mother, Dr Madhu Akhauri, were both physicians in the army. She got to travel a lot all through her schooling years and was exposed to various cultures in the process. She gets her poise and elegance from being the army kid she was!

Chitrangada Singh

This dusky beauty was born to Colonel Niranjan Singh, an Indian Army officer. Being an army man’s daughter, she was always fitness conscious. She owes her independent nature and the woman she is, to the army background she hails from.

Lara Dutta

She was born to Wing Commander L.K. Dutta and her sister also serves the the Indian Air Force. According to this former Miss Universe, she learnt skills like swimming and public speaking, which were useful in beauty contests only because of the Air Force Clubs she attended.

Sushmita Sen

Her father is Shuber Sen, a former Indian Air Force Wing Commander. Sushmita studied in various air force schools across the country. The army environment gave her confidence and made her what she is today. We’re sure it played a huge role in her life because adopting two girls and becoming a single parent is not everyone’s cup of tea!

Neha Dhupia

This one’s from a navy background. Her father, Commander Pradip Singh Dhupia served in the Indian Navy. She says she won the Miss India crown only because of her navy background which made her bold and confident. Neha enjoys being associated to the Indian Navy even today. Whether it’s the Navy Balls or the Navy Queen contests, she makes it a point to be a part of them.

Shiney Ahuja

Shiney’s father served in the Indian army. He was gearing up to join the army like his father until he got interested in acting and decided to join Bollywood instead. He went through a rough patch in between after being accused of raping his maid but rose above it. We’re sure he gets his resilient nature from his military background.

Rajeev Khandelwal

His father, C.L. Khandelwal was a Lieutenant-colonel in the Indian Army. Hailing from an army family, he too was prepared to join the army but as fate would have it, his form got misplaced and finally got the chance of pursuing his dream of becoming an actor.

'Ishkq In Paris', which was touted as Preity Zinta's comeback vehicle and her debut film as a producer finally premiered today.

There were several setbacks that Preity had to face with no distributors wanting to distribute the movie to the director Prem Soni suffering from cancer.

But glad it's all over now. A grand premiere was held today with Preity's wellwishers and friends attending it.

Preity was seen in good spirits as she posed with Rhehan Malliek and director Prem Soni.

There is something about dimpled smiles that instantly catch one’s eye. We’re sure there isn’t anybody who is not fond of dimples!

While most of celebrities are great lookers, there are a few who are blessed with an added ‘something’ and that is their dimples! We get you a list of celebrities who can make hearts melt in a second; all they need to do is flash their dimpled smile.

Shah Rukh Khan

Picture SRK standing in his signature pose. Yes, the one with his arms wide open, head slightly tilted and just when you thought that’s charming enough, slowly appears his dimpled smile. Now that can make millions of women swoon! There’s no denying that.

Preity Zinta

Preity Zinta’s deep dimple is to die for! Every guy falls for it and every girl wishes she had her dimple! All Preity needs to do is smile – that’s enough to lighten up anyone’s day!

Deepika Padukone

Looks like being drop dead gorgeous wasn’t enough as Deepika is blessed with a cute pair of dimples as well! With that perfect body and face, her mesmerizing smile is like cherry on the cake!

John Abraham

Very few macho guys are cute and John is surely one of them. The credit for that goes to his dimples. If looks could kill, John would have killed many by just flashing his dimpled smile.

Ayushmann Khurrana

“Pani da rang..” sings Ayushmann while strumming the guitar and showing off his dimples! That image itself is picture perfect for every other girl. Ayushmann feels dimples are overrated as they’re just dents on the face. Well, if ‘dents’ are that hot then no one’s complaining.

Bipasha Basu

This dusky beauty is one of Bollywood’s hottest actresses. Even she has dimples that bring ‘cute’ to her sizzling hot image!

Abhay Deol

He’s dashing and smart and oh, how much we love his dimples! With dimples so deep, one just feels like diving deep into them.

Alia Bhatt

Alia is the latest celebrity to join the group of dimpled celebrities! By flashing those dimples, we’re sure Alia can even get away with murder!

Sharmila Tagore

This Bong beauty stole the hearts of many with her dimples! They are so deep that they even appear when she talks.

Sushmita Sen

We love Sushmita Sen’s smile! Her smile is contagious - the kind that is enchanting enough to get you smiling too.

Gul Panag

Gul might not be around much but whenever we spot her, we can’t help notice her delightfully deep dimples! They just add to her charming personality.

Can you think of any other dimpled celebrity? Let us know.

Preity Zinta's 'Ishqk in Paris' sank without a trace. However, she could be back with a bang soon. Buzz is that Preity will appear next in Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK's next, which is yet untitled. The film which also stars Ileana D'Cruz, is produced by Saif's Illuminati Films.

Preity and Saif have shared great chemistry in their earlier films together - 'Salaam Namaste' (2005), 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' (2003), & 'Kya Kehna' (2000). Saif confirmed the news to Hindustan Times saying that Preity has kindly agreed to do a 'special appearance' for his film.

Special or not, it will be great to see Preity & Saif back on screen.

Heres a look at some odd photoshoots / photos celebs have featured in, some are zany and wacky, others purely odd (who really wants to see Govinda shirtless), while others purely bizarre (Pooja Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt)

Heres taking a look at some of the onscreen transformations that we can thank YashRaj Films for:

1. Saif Ali Khan, who generally played several dorky characters, with no body worth looking at for the earlier part of his career, Suddenly became a desirable in Salaam Namaste, we shall forgive YRF for his other transformations (The 'Tom Cruise' haircut in Hum Tum, and the Moustache in Tashan), but Saif's never looked back!

2. Kareena Kapoor, whose 'size zero phenomenon' began after 'Tashan', also has YRF to thank for forcing her to lose the weight she gained for her role in 'Chup Chup Ke'. And Despite the movie doing precious little for her career, the hype surrounding her look went on for years.

3. Hrithik Roshan, who in his earlier films looked more like 'a boy next door', himself admitted that he hadn't explored 'the sexy part of his persona' till he did this film Dhoom 2. And he transformed into a greek god, and how!

4. Tanisha (Kajol's sister) was a suprising transformation, and the girl( as it seems to be routine with YRF) was asked to shed a good couple kilograms for the film. Though she quickly dissapeard of the map, no one can forget how hot she looked in 'Halla Re' (Neal n Nikki).

5. Going from playing one of the gawkiest, funniest characters ever (Bitoo Sharma), no one saw the sizzling body in Ladies VS Ricky Bahl coming along at a later stage. However his look in Gunday is not entirely eye pleasing.

6. One of the transformations, we are not really thankful for, is changing Rani Mukherji from the beautiful girl next door to the bikini clad girl. Kudos to YRF and Rani for trying, but we prefer our Bengali babe in a sari :)

7. Esha Deol, who has always been criticised for her unconventional looks for a heroine, suddenly became hotter in 'Dhoom'.

8. Anushka Sharma, who debuted as a quintessential girl next door with some weight issues, and continued the look till Band Baaja Baarat, suddenly shed all the weight, and turned into a sexy siren for 'LVRB'.

9. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who was until then remembered as the beautiful Nandini (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam) and the gorgeous Paru (Devdas) got much acclaim for her hot bod looks in Dhoom 2. Perhaps that is the first and last time we will ever see her in that avatar. Thank heavens for recorded media!

10. Last but not least, we have Preity Zinta, who also went from the cute, bubbly girl in her earlier films to sexy and trendy suddenly in 'Salaam Namaste'

11. And who can forget Arjun Kapoor's amazing transformation in Ishaqzaade? Check out the pic and see for yourself!

Which other stars do you think have transformed thanks to YRF? Which was your favourite look?

One of the hottest couples of B-town Saif Ali Khan and his begum Kareena Kapoor have come to the conclusion that it is better for them not to pair up in reel-life. However, buzz is that they might be making an exception this time.

Saif Ali Khan has been shooting for his film 'Happy Ending' in US. The movie also stars Ileana D'Cruz, Govinda, Kalki Koechlin and Preity Zinta. We also saw wifey Kareena Kapoor Khan accompany hubby Saif to the sets. However, it may just be that Kareena will be doing a Cameo in the film.

As per Hindustan Times, the makers of Happy Ending are contemplating if Kareena will do a scene or a song in Happy Ending. However, it appears that all this is planned to be a top-secret and the makers do not want either the pictures or any news of this, leaking out.

Well, perhaps we will have to wait a until the film releases, to see this for ourselves.

Recently Hindustan Times got chatting with Saif Ali Khan about his next home production, Happy Ending.

Kareena's special appearance in the film is no longer a secret and Saif too shared a little something about her role in Happy Ending. He revealed that Bebo will be seen in a completely different avatar in the film if she does act in it.

While Saif was being all 'hush-hush' about it, director D.K Krishna has already revealed that she will be appearing in a few scenes.

The movie also stars Ileana D'cruz, Govinda, Ranvir Shorey, Kalki Koechlin and Preity Zinta.

Since we are celebrating 25 years of Salman Khan, Who do you think he shares the best chemistry with? Bhagyashree who debuted with him at the start of his career, or Sonakshi who debuted around 20 years later? Ex-Girlfriends Aishwarya Rai and Katrina Kaif, or his close friends - Rani Mukherji and Preity Zinta? Beauty Pagent winners Priyanka Chopra and Sushmita Sen or the superstar sisters from Bollywoods first Family - Kareena and Karisma Kapoor? or is it Madhuri Dixit, who was part of his most loved film - 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun?'?

Who do you think he looks the best with?

Preity Zinta's dialogue writer of the movie 'Ishkq in Paris' - Abbas Tyrewala, filed a cheque bouncing case against the actress when a cheque of Rs 18.9 lakh issued to him, bounced.

Following this, a local metropolitan magistrate's court at Andheri issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Preity. Her lawyer Ratneshwar Jha confirmed this to TOI.

"The court has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Zinta today. We will move the court to cancel the warrant or we will move the Bombay high court and file a writ," he said mentioning that Preity is currently out of the country.

Ishkq in Paris was Preity's production venture, which released last year and bombed at the Box Office.

It seems the down-in-the-luck writer Abbas Tyrewala has decided to take on an opponent who won’t take allegations lying down.

Preity Zinta who has been accused of non-payment of dues by Tyrewala for his writing work in her ill-fated production Ishkq In Paris not only denies owing any money to Tyrewala she also accuses him of non-delivery of required work.

Shooting in Udaipur with Sunny Deol for Bhaiyyaji Superhit Preity,known to be absolutely above-board in her professional dealings, reacted saying, “He(Abbas Tyrewala) has lied. He has deposited a cheque that was supposed to be used only if and when he did the work required for our film. This, he did not do. So we don’t owe him any money at all.”

Preity further states that Tyrewala didn’t possess any written document regarding his agreement with Preity’s production house. “He signed no papers, did no work for us and yet took a cheque from us that was not meant to be taken. If he has any any proof or any paperwork proving he has done any work for us he is most welcome to take a payment.”

Preity claims she stopped Tyrewala’s payment because he did not deliver the work for which he was hired. “Yes,we stopped his payment because we didn’t owe him anything. Now he claims a cheque for work that he did not do has bounced.”

On making inquiries I discovered that EVERY single person who worked on and in Ishkq in Paris has been paid.

Says Preity, “Yes, we’ve paid everyone. If we owed this guy(Tyrewala) we would have paid him too. I cannot and will not pay someone for work he has not done. He abused my trust and goodwill and took a cheque from me which was meant to be used only if he worked for us.”

Preity says Tyrewala is guilty of breach of trust. “I did not register a case of a stolen cheque as I didn’t want to embarrass him. But now the matter is in court and it’s all on record. I won’t be blackmailed just because I am a known face and name.”

Preity has proof of Tyrewala’s allegedly fraudulent monetary claims. “We have submitted our proof to the court.We will take appropriate action against him now that he has taken the matter to court and involved the media for publicity. I am not stupid to put myself at risk with a bounced cheque for a relatively meager sum of money.”

Yash Chopra might no longer be among us but his memory lingers on. His birthday is on 27th September and his wife, Pamela Chopra and sons Uday and Aditya are making special arrangements for the same.

Times of India tells us that Pamela has taken up the initiative to plan her late husband's birthday celebration. She wants it to be unique every year. This time, there are talks of planning a fashion show showcasing India's first cinema inspired ethnic couture brand, Diva'ni.

Nine of Yash Chopra's heroines have been roped in to be a part of the same. They will be walking the ramp for the show which will be held at the Yash Raj Films studio. The list includes beauties like Katrina Kaif, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta and Juhi Chawla.

Legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra passed away on 21st October and is till today, sorely missed.

Rani Mukherji and Preity Zinta walked the ramp at the late filmmaker's birth anniversary bash. Rani was teary eyed while she spoke about her favorite 'Yash uncle'. Preity walked for the music of 'Tere Liye' from her YRF 'Veer Zaara'.
