Actress Kangana Ranaut

Actress Kangana Ranaut

Kangna agrees to don a bikini!

Kangna finally relents to David Dhawan's demand that she don a bikini. But she too had a clause...

On March 1, we reported that Kangna Ranaut shied away from wearing a bikini for David Dhawan's Rascals.

And this was a volte-face because the actress had agreed to wear it initially and was in fact quite excited about it.

Later she developed cold feet. We also told you in the same story what a big tantrum she threw on a beach in Thailand and stopped the shoot for four hours when the time came to don a two-piece. Post that, she had come down to Mumbai to promote her film Tanu Weds Manu.

Well, now that Tanu Weds Manu has set the cash registers ringing we guess that Kangz doesn't quite mind getting wild. But she does mind getting wet.

So a few days ago, she went back to David Dhawan and agreed to don a bikini, albeit with a clause: Madame Ranaut will wear a two-piece but will not get drenched in the emerald green waters of Thailand. Rascals wanted Kangna to do an Ursula Andress-like entry in the film.

Three guys- Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn and Arjun Rampal - would be ogling at her as she would step out from the waters.

Now this same routine has been enacted, but only with Kangna dredging herself through sands. Oh, the sands of time!

A close friend of the actress said, "All is well between David Dhawan and Kangna Ranaut now. Both reached a middle ground of sorts with their arguments. So while David got his bikini shot, Kangna too made it clear that she would do it her way."

Kangna and David Dhawan remained unavailable for comment.

Amisha accuses Kangna of using cheap publicity stunts

Declares Ameesha Patel about the Dutts, making pointed retorts at Kangna Ranaut by saying "co-stars come and go"

Dutt loyalists Kangna Ranaut and Ameesha Patel haven't exactly seen eye-to-eye for quite some time now.

As reported 'Kangs edges Ameesha out' (Hitlist, February 16), Kangna was proving to be more closer to Sanjay and Maanayata than the Patel girl.

Says a source, "Ameesha has been fuming ever since. This happened because Patel was absent at a couple of the Dutts' events. Almost immediately, there was buzz of a fallout."

The Patel gal was out of Mumabi for a show when the the buzz reached here. An upset Manaayata called her pal immediately. Ameesha was shocked as she had always been cordial to Kangs when they met."

Adds the source, "Ameesha has decided she has had enough. If she meets Kangna at a social event, she has decided to snub her. Patel feels Ranaut is behind this.

She has no issues with Kangna but won't allow her name and friendship with the Dutts to be tarnished at any cost."

The source continues, "Films have never mattered to Ameesha more than relationships, so to be accused of getting upset for losing films to Kangna, implied that she had got close to the Dutts to enhance her career. That is far from the truth.

In fact, few know that when Maanayata was about to deliver, it was Ameesha (not Kangna) who had driven down immediately to Breach Candy Hospital to be with her right from the beginning till Sanju came in from Dubai.

The Dutts consider her as family and have said they will do her kanyadaan when she gets married. Kangna is just a co-star for Sanju, not a friend."

Ameesha says, "I can't help it if people (Kangna?) use cheap publicity stunts to be in the news. I can't be caught in that web. Co-stars can come and go. Sanju and Maana will always be family."

Tanu Weds Manu get a respectable start at Box Office

After getting rave reviews the film Tanu Weds Manu had a satisfactory opening in North India on Friday morning. Though Friday was a working day, Tanu Weds Manu saw 40% to 50% of audience during the morning and the afternoon at several screens.

The response else where apart from North ranged to below average (20 % to 25%). It was predicted earlier that very much like family based films like Hum Saath Saath Hai, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, the film will also not have a thunderous start.

With the fantastic promotions for Tanu Weds Manu the film has the potential to grow with passing days. Both audiences feed backs and critics reviews are positive and will help the film to do a bigger and better business.

Salman didn't throw me out: Kangna

TOI pins the actress down with seven prickly questions...

Charge 1:
Films in which you haven't played an edgy character, haven't clicked.
It would be wrong to say that. Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai did well. But yes, that was more of Ajay Devgn's film.

But how long could I go on playing those whacko characters? I kept getting similar roles but yearned to play other characters and I reached a pint of desperation.

I used to cry and wonder why I was not being offered roles, which could do justice to my talent. I could see that those roles were going to girls who had boyfriends and contacts at the right places. I couldn't make friends.

I was lonely Nobody was even recommending me. Instead of unwinding, I would often be researching drug-addicts or schizophrenics.

Thankfully, times have changed. Today I am in very happy space. I am playing a flirtatious girl in Rascals and Sanjay Dutt's secretary in Dhamaal 2.

Charge 2...
You said nobody was recommending you. But today, Ajay Devgn does.
(Interrupts) That's not true. In fact now, Ajay and I are thinking of not doing films together for two-three years. We are taking a break from each other professionally.

That's how Ajay also feels. We can't make our on-screen chemistry repetitive.

Charge 3...
Its' said that you use names of A-list actors to add to your brand equity.
If I could win so many awards- there are close to twenty lying in my house- without dropping names and without even working with big actors, then why would I suddenly start now? That too at a time, when I am actually doing better for myself.

I suspect sabotage. I know people who bitch about me; they are nice to my face though.

Charge 4...
Salman and you had an issue earlier.
Salman has never had a problem with me. Why doesn't anybody ask this question to Salman? It could be that people misconstrue my introvert nature.

I could never develop friends in this industry. I don't like filmi life and I don't connect to people who say nothing but, 'yeh woh picture kar rahi hai, yeh woh picture nahin kar rahi hai'. Most people are self-obsessed here and can't have a good conversation.

Charge 5...
You have had a wardrobe malfunction more than once at social gatherings. Its' said that you do it for publicity.
I have seen the pictures that were printed. It was definitely not intentional. I would do anything to be left alone.

If nobody believes that, I request the media not to fall prey to my plans. I am too smart. Don't give me publicity.

Charge 6...
You have become a part of Sanjay Dutt's house. You are more close to his wife Manyata than her best friend Amisha Patel is.

If I could be a part of my own household, I would be glad. I haven't gone home for the last three months. How can I be a part of Sanjay Dutt's house and why?

Charge 7...
You gatecrashed at Salman's party in Bangkok and were asked to leave.
I am young, successful and happening. People pay me to attend their parties. Would you close the gates to me if I wanted to attend your party? Salman, who I repeat is a friend, requested me to do a cameo in Ready. Why would I go uninvited to his party?
