Shahid saves Anushka's life
On Sunday evening Anushkha had a hair's breadth escape from what could have been a catastrophic accident while shooting for a music video for Parmeet Sethi's Badmaash Company.It happened at the M.T.Studio in Andheri (East) while Shahid and Anushka under the supervision of choreographer Ahmed Khan, were moving towards a pre-decided spot a little distance away from the place where a huge chandelier was hanging from the ceiling.
Before anyone knew what was happening, the chandelier suddenly came crashing down to the ground with a sound that pierced the entire studio compound.
The chandelier would have fallen straight on Anushka Sharma if it wasn't for Shahid's presence of mind. A split second before the chandelier hit the ground Shahid pushed the shaken and utterly petrified Anushka out of catastrophe's way.
“Sasha (Shahid) didn't push Anusha away. He pulled her towards himself. Just in time, Actually it was partly my fault. My instructions went a little awry and Shahid and Anushka along with Vir Das and Chang.
Anything could have happened, ” shudders choreographer Ahmed Khan and adds, “I hope we finish the song without more mishaps.
This is the third electrical mishap that has occurred during the shooting. Fortunately nothing happened to Anushka. But what if Sasha had not pulled her out of danger's way just in time?”
Anushka confirms the incident, “Yes it did happen. Shahid was quick to act. Luckily no one got injured.”
The real-life hero plays down the incident. “It was nothing major, ” says Shahid.
Incidentally this is the second time within a year that Shahid has come to his leading lady's rescue.
During the shooting of Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminey Priyanka Chopra was riding a scooter with Shahid on the pillion when she lost balanced and fell. Her face would have hit the ground if Shahid had not quickly buffered the imminent fall with his hand to protect her face.
“This is the sort of thing anyone would do, given the situation, ” says Shahid.
Don't be too sure, Shahid. Decades ago when chivalry was far more active than now, Joy Mukherjee had to carry Asha Parekh. He couldn't take the weight and just dropped her...LINK

Rani and Aditya go public with their affair
MUMBAI : After applying every trick in the book to keep their relationship under wraps, lovebirds Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra have finally lifted the veil off their romantic alliance.The duo that has often lambasted the media for ‘link-up’ rumours was seen getting up, close and personal at a recent party organised by Karan Johar to celebrate the birthday of his mother Hiroo Johar. Going hand-in-hand, the twosome looked very much like a couple in love.
Organised at a South Mumbai hotel, the party that was a very low-key affair saw the dusky bong siren walk in with her beau Aditya holding hands. Confirming the news, a source said, “Rani and Adi came in together and looked very much a couple. They walked in just before midnight and sat down for dinner next to each other. It’s a clear public statement that Rani is indeed his girlfriend. It was quite unlike Adi, but he seemed quite relaxed as he chatted with the other guests.”
As for the other guests at the party, there was Karan’s best friend Kaajal Anand and even though SRK wanted to attend the party he was busy shooting for one of his films.
And for the latest development between Rani and Aditya, sources say that the guests at the party were much too pleased with the two bonding in public. “Forget being seen with Rani, Adi doesn’t like to be seen in public even by himself. He has been dating Rani for nearly three years now but never has he made a public appearance with her by his side,” adds the source...link
