Claudia is crazy about Auto rickshaws
Becoming a household name after appearing in Big Boss 3, Claudia Ciesla thinks India as her second home. Each and everything of the Indian culture even if it is an Indian sweet or an auto rickshaw is close to her heart. Auto rickshaw? Confused? It’s true, Claudia is crazy about auto rickshaw. Whenever she sees an auto rickshaw she wants to sit in it and drive it. She got a chance to fulfill this need of driving a rickshaw. She not only drove it but also left some of the pedestrians to their destination.
On asking about this weird desire of driving an auto rickshaw, she says, “Yes, I love driving an auto rickshaw. When I first came to Mumbai, I was very much amused to see such kind of vehicle as we don’t have it in Germany. When I went home for the first time after visiting India I took a miniature of a rickshaw, but then my other family members and friends wanted the same, so this time I had to take a lot of auto rickshaw souvenirs on special demand.“

Bollywood bombshell Veena Malik has wrapped up the shooting of her upcoming Kannada movie “Silk Sakkath Maga” song in Thailand. The makers are happy that the Veena canned the film within schedule after she got injured on movie set while shooting for the song. Her ankle got twisted which tore her toe nail and it started bleeding profusely. She refuse to take rest and continued to shoot after having bandage on her feet. She is playing a character of Southern star Silk Smitha which is based on true story. Thailand is a very beautiful place where Veena was seen filming intimate scene with her co-star Akshay in Bikini at beach.
Veena Malik said, “I am very happy that I completed my song on schedule after getting injured on my foot. It was very difficult for me to shoot as it was a painful movement. It’s not a big deal for me as I consider myself to be a super women and nobody can stop me. After getting injured also I am preparing for my upcoming Bollywood movie “The City That Never Sleeps” which is produced by Satish Reddy.”
Veena always dedicated the heart and soul in the movie and wanted to finish the shoot as soon as possible and not delay it further which would cause inconvenience to the other co-actors and production team, so she shot with a bandaged foot. However, care was taken that her bandaged foot was not shown in the camera.

YJHD and Nautanki Saala success gives Evelyn Sharma a ‘hottie boost’
When actress and fashionista Evelyn Sharma made her foray into Bollywood a year ago, not many expected the newbie from Germany to make her mark in Indian films!
But the sexy babe improved her Hindi and bagged five films within a few months. Now, two of her movies Ayan Mukherji’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (YJHD) and Rohan Sippy’s Nautanki Saala, have emerged runaway hits.
What’s more! YJHD, where Evelyn was seen in the key role of a hottie alongside Ranbir Kapoor, is the biggest blockbuster of the year.
Last year, Bollywood saw Rowdy Rathore, Housefull 2 and Agneepath cross the 100 crore mark. But this year, that honour has belonged only to YJHD until now.
Reveling in the success, Evelyn has been receiving meatier and more glamourous offers for movies, endorsements and fashion events. “Brand Evelyn has managed a sort of balancing act between being an actress, model and a fashionista,” quips her publicist Dale Bhagwagar.
Her next release is Issaq with Prateik Babbar, followed by Yaariyaan; the directorial debut of T-Series’ head honcho Bhushan Kumar’s wife Divya Kumar. A super-packed year indeed!
What shall we say, but that luck, talent and success make an unbeatable combination. And Evelyn’s got it all neatly tucked in her kitty!

Bollywood LEAPs to contribute to Uttarakhand aid
While actors like the living legend Amitabh Bachchan have been tweeting and expressing their sadness about the Uttarakhand floods, fellow UP-ite and popular film and television actor Sushant Singh (known for his intense roles in films like The Legend Of Bhagat Singh, Jungle, 16th December etc and currently seen as the anchor of the TV show Savdhan India) has got down to the task of raising funds for the rehabilitation of victims of the natural calamity in the Northern state.
Supporting the LEAP Foundation of Dehradun, which is working actively on giving a livelihood to those who have lost their houses, shops etc to the floods, Sushant has taken it upon himself to lead a campaign appealing to the nation to chip in for the rehabilitation process.
Says Sushant, “Mountains have moved us and now together let us move the mountains. I have found my mission and there is no stopping now. As a nation it’s time to prove our will to the world, and as people of this country, it’s time to show the politicians the real meaning of ‘service by the people, of the people, and for the people’.”
Leading film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi, who is also involved with the LEAP Foundation’s initiative says, “As citizens of India, it’s our duty to ensure that we do whatever we can for the victims of the Uttarakhand floods. The rehabilitation process is a massive task and we are trying to do our bit by contributing to it.”
Dehradun-based veteran academician Anurag Sangal; the brain behind the LEAP Foundation, says, “We have initiated a program to make an impact on the lives of the victims by providing jobs, education, homes etc; all with the support of our friends.”
We hope others from the Bollywood brigade will follow Sushant’s lead and support similar initiatives. To know how to contribute to the LEAP Foundation and support the cause, click the following link: http://www.leapqualityeducation.com/details.php?pgID=mn_2583.
