Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai might be very friendly and well connected to media but when it comes to her personal life, she is very secretive. She does not want anyone to invade her privacy at whatever cost. She likes her privacy and so Aishwarya Rai Bachchan kicked away a lucrative amount which was offered to her by a Hollywood studio.

They approached the former Miss World to make a documentary on her life but Ash straightway declined because the documentary needs to be filmed at her home and Ash did not like the idea. They offered her a promising amount but she did not agree. She is not comfortable with cameras following her at home over a week.

The documentary is similar to the kind of one made on Shahrukh Khan titled, ‘Living With Superstar’.

Getting into films has changed Sonam Kapoor’s equations with her father.The actress used to be not far from her dad before.’I was very close to him and I have seen him be what he is. He is the finest actor in the world and has seen several ups and downs in his career period of 30 years. But then he is still down to earth. He treats the issue of every personal as his own and sets to resolve them.

It is unimaginable to think that someone of his age is doing so even today. But then after getting into films, I have become a little fearful of him. I open up more to my mother these days. But when there is a large problem, I go to him for advice,’ says Sonam Kapoor who normally does not think much of what the world feels about her.

The actress went on to say, ‘I am someone who always listens to my heart. If my heart agreed to do something, then I am there doing that. But when my heart does not permit me to do something, I avoid that totally.’Well, it seems that Anil Kapoor is not paying attention to Sonam anymore.

Kareena is angry with director Madhur Bhandarkar and she has decided not to do Madhur’s ‘Heroine’. She walked out of the film for emotional reason. Madhur Bhandarkar ill-treated Bebo’s close buddy Lovely Singh’s father Amarjeet Singh when Mr. Singh went to meet the director. He took an appointment with Madhur but still he was kept waiting for three hours and after waiting for so long, Bhandarkar refused to meet him.

A source reveals, “Lovely was really upset when he heard how Madhur treated his dad. He didn’t like the fact that despite taking an appointment the director not only made his father wait but also eventually refused to meet him. Kareena was appalled on hearing this.

She told him in confidence that it was unfortunate such a thing had to happen. And that her film with Madhur wouldn’t be happening. Officially, Bebo, Lovely and Bebo’s business manager Zahid Khan will stick to the reason that Heroine has got delayed till next year.”

However, Kareena denied the report, “It’s not true. Madhur is busy doing a film with Ajay Devgn and is busy. We will do our film sometime next year.”

There is another reason as why Bebo is reluctant to do the film. The script demands Bebo to do some intimate scene with the leading actors and unhappy Kareena asked the director to rework on the script.
