Mink Singh offered few lakhs for a one night stand…..

Mink Singh offered few lakhs for a one night stand…..

Even as the south Indian film industry is still reeling with dented reputation caused by the involvement of some actresses in prostitution racket, a similar spectre has reared its head in Bollywood. No one talks about it, but there are unconfirmed stories of many leading actresses being available for a price for celeb-crazy rich businessmen.
One actress who is being very vocal about her experience with one such ‘coordinator’ is the small-time starlet Mink. She participated in Zor Ka Jhatka most recently.
Mink tells a tabloid that she was contacted by a man on the phone. He offered her Rs. 10 lakh for doing a sari ad. The inordinate amount of money just for an ad did make Mink suspicious. Then on March 1, the man called again and came straight to the point.
Mink revealed, “I had been getting calls from a pimp for a one night stand with some businessman. I got the first call when I was out of town. The person called me and introduced himself as a coordinator.
He asked me if I was interested in modelling for a brand of saris and asked me if I had modelled for any sari brand earlier. I replied saying that I had not. Later he called me and said that he would give me Rs 10 lakh for the ad.
I was shocked at hearing that and became slightly suspicious because I know that no one gets paid 10 lakhs to model for a saree ad.”
“But I didn’t follow my suspicious instinct and asked him to call me when I returned to Mumbai. The man used to call me ‘didi’. He called me on March 1 and said that he wanted to have a frank talk with me.said the actress.
I thought he was talking about the brokerage but surprisingly he said that he was a pimp and he hires Bollywood celebs for one night deals with businessmen and politicians. I was shocked on hearing that and I started laughing.
I asked him if he was crazy and whether he was not afraid of the cops. The man replied saying that these things are done secretly and since it involves influential people, no one cares,”
Continuing the story, Mink says, “He then asked me to come to a five-star hotel where he would introduce me to his client and that I would be expected to spend the night with him. He also said he could give me 15 lakhs for it.”
“I refused point blank but he persisted and said I would just have to meet his clients and stand with him for which he would pay me good money. Then I probed further and asked if I would have to have dinner or coffee with them and he said, no, I would just have to stand next to him. I refused and disconnected the phone. she adds.
But the pimp kept me calling all day; I did not take his calls. At one time I thought of complaining at the police station. But then I wondered if he was the kind who would get vindictive if I did,”

Kareena Kapoor is Imran’s hair stylist in ‘Short Term Shaadi’….

Kareena Kapoor is Imran’s hair stylist in ‘Short Term Shaadi’….
Imran Khan will adopt two new looks in a movie for the first time in Karan Johar’s Dharma Production flick Short Term Shaadi. He will sports a formal look in the first half of the film while the look in the second half is funky
A source said, “Imran plays a rigid, conservative and fussy architect in the film who falls in love with Kareena Kapoor, a liaison which changes him completely.
Kareena plays a hairstylist who teaches him about life and love. The film has been shot in Las Vegas and India and will be directed by Shakun Batra.”
The source revealed, “In the first half, Imran has slightly longer, gelled back hair. It’s a formal classic hairstyle with longer sideburns and side parting something Imran has not done before.
In the second half, Imran goes for a funkier and cooler look similar to I Hate Luv Storys.”
According to sources, Kareena had to learn some hairstyling for her role in the film so that the on-screen sequences did not look fake and Imran would always sportingly agree to whatever she wanted to experiment on him.
“She learned some hairstyling from her stylist (Pompy),” informs Imran.
While, in the film, Kareena styles Imran’s hair, in real life and for all his films, it’s his good friend Ayesha who has done the look.
“Ayesha has been styling my hair ever since my first film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. She has worked on both my looks in Short Term Shaadi too.”
Imran was excited about the looks he is donning for the film.
He said, “The film takes place in a compressed time frame of a little more than a week and deals with how my character changes within that short span of time.”
“In the first half, my character is prim, proper and very fussy about the way his life should be. he elaborated.
I wear starched, neatly ironed outfits and formal three-piece suits with polished shoes. My hair is always neatly combed.
Kareena enters my life and gives me a cool makeover and a different, spicier hairstyle. She comes into my dull and drab life like a breath of fresh air and makes me see things differently,”

Will Sonakshi replace Katrina as Akki’s lucky mascot???

Will Sonakshi replace Katrina as Akki’s lucky mascot???

Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha have apparently been having a whale of a time while shooting together for Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder’s film Joker.
Sonakshi looks all set to replace Katrina Kaif as Akki’s best co-star given the fact that Tees Maar Khan and De Dana Dan (Akki-Kat’s previous two films) have come a cropper at box office. Akki-Sonakshi have been shooting for Joker and the images from the film’s sets clearly indicate that the two are bonding well during the shoot in north India.
In this latest pic from the sets, Akki is seen dressed as a rustic guy and beaming that gummy smile of his, while Sonakshi poses pretty with a calf perched on her shoulders.
Just a few days back, the two had shot with sadhus as well.

Katrina Kaif is boring according to Arshad Warsi…
Her legion of loyal fans swear by her beauty, but Arshad Warsi finds Katrina Kaif pakao (boring).
The actor certainly doesn’t seem to approve of Katrina in her latest ad for the fruit drink Slice.
“How pakao is Katrina in the Slice ad, kairi pakadti hai aur vo aam ban jata hai… Angoor do toh shayad Wine banjayegi…” Arshad joked on his Twitter page.
It’s clear that Arshad is trying to show his sense of humour here but how many people will be amused by it is an open question.
Meanwhile, the actor will next be seen doing comedy in Double Dhamaal.
