Like all of us, Sachin Tendulkar is also a fan of Big B. But little did we know that Big B also adores the LittleMaster. Infact Big B derives such pleasure in watching Sachin bat that he has delayed his shoot or postponed appointment innumerable times.

Big says, “It is a marvel that a sportsman can have such an extended, achievement-filled life. His recent performance (referring to Sachin’s 175 in Hyderabad) was better than all those much younger than him. He is a true genius!

On learning that Sachin is a fan of Big B, the icon said, “I am so, so humbled by this fact. It is Sachin’s greatness that he should consider me to be capable of his affection and love.”

Sachin completing his 20 years in International cricket has one more reason to smile after receiving all praises from none other than Big B himself.

If you thought you were the only one sick and tired of bad net speeds and server crashes, think again. Bollywood’s very own perfectionist Aamir Khan couldn’t help but complain as he seemed unsatisfied with the recently held online chat that was organized to launch the music of 3 Idiots. Aamir writes in his latest blog post: “One day I will be able to organise a chat that way I imagine. Hasn’t happened yet, but we’ll get there. The big challenge is to be able to take the volume of traffic.

By the time we finished with the lobby and I tried to enter my chat room, I discovered to my horror that I COULDN’T. TOO MUCH TRAFIC I WAS TOLD.” And then there is more. “So the tech team had to quickly create a new chat room for me. Well, I can tell you that the 3i cast and crew had a super time, and we were very happy and blessed to have in our midst the parents of Shantanu and Swanand.”

On a lighter note, Aamir goes on to talk about sipping tea, watching the rain and missing his wife Kiran Rao, who’s shooting in Panchgani.

Soha Ali Khan is very unlike her famous brother Saif Ali Khan except for their romantic instinct. Saif was earlier married to Amrita Singh and is currently going steady with Kareena Kapoor. But Soha has been keeping low as far as her love life is concerned though she is romantic at heart. However, she has surprised everyone this time around by revealing that Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan is charming.

Soha seems to have a soft corner for cricketers. She revealed not long ago that she had a crush on Rahul Dravid once. So, it didn’t come as a surprise when she expressed her admiration for Irfan Pathan, who he met on her game show recently. She however said that she has never thought of marrying a cricketer.

She is currently busy promoting her film Tum Mile, which is releasing tomorrow, 13th November. She acts with serial kisser Emraan Hashmi in the film.

Going by his on-screen image and characters, you may think that Shahrukh Khan is affable and friendly. Surprisingly, the real Shahrukh is lonely and hardly have any friend. Shahrukh admitted that his wife Gauri was right when she said that he doesn’t have time for friends. He added that it is difficult to make friends in the profession he is in and hardly have any friend.

He do have friendships with people who he works with in films but busy life throws it haywire. He said that he makes new friends once he moves on to another film. He however added that he share good relationship with people he works with.

Well, it doesn’t mean that Shahrukh has no friends at all. He do have some good friends like Karan Johar!

Kunal Kohli is on a producing spree. He was keen on working with Imran for a long time and he is glad that the hot newbie has agreed to be part of his film which is a romantic-comedy.“Since her break-up with Ranbir, Deepika has resolved to prove herself as an actress and a star. She was very happy with the response to Love Aaj Kal and she signed this film because Kunal’s films have always had strong female characters be it Rani in Hum Tum and TPTM or Kajol in Fanaa and both of them were nominated at award ceremonies,” says a source.He adds, “Deepika is thrilled about the films coming her way and wants to make the most of being in demand.

She has started work on a Yash Raj film opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh directed by Pradeep Sarkar and she has bagged an Ashutosh Gowariker film opposite Abhishek Bachchan very early on in her career. She wants to give her 100% to these films. She is also excited about Karthik Calling Karthik and Housefull which will release next year.”About working with Ranbir’s friend Imran, our source says, ‘Imran, Ranbir and Deepika are very professional people, so there should not be any problems. Not many people know this but Ranbir used to date Avantika Mallik who is now engaged to Imran. If Ranbir and Imran can be best buddies why can’t Deepika and Imran work together? ‘

The untitled film will go on the floors only next year. It will be directed by first-timer Danish Aslam, who has assisted Kunal on his movies like Fanaa, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic and even on other films like Salaam Namaste, Ta Ra Rum Pum and Swades. Director Kunal Kohli confirmed the news of the pairing and said he was super-excited about the project which he is jointly producing with Big Pictures.
