Ileana D’Cruz: Varun Dhawan comes closest !!!

First it was Nargis Fakhri who said that junior Dhawan is her favourite co-star and now its the Barfi babe who thinks that he is the perfect man! 
We say Varun Dhawan surely has a way with the ladies. After all, every heroine that the beta Dhawan has worked with, is all praises for him. It all began with Alia Bhatt, who went pink in the cheeks as soon as one would utter Varun’s name; they even had a fling on the sets of SOTY (of course, allegedly). Then came his Main Tera Hero co-star Nargis Fakhri,

Ind vs Pak preview: Battle of arch-rivals in World T20

After appetising 'starters' featuring the lower-rung teams and warm-up games, the 'main course' of the World Twenty20 begins here on Friday with a high-profile clash between India and Pakistan at the Sher-e-Bangla International Stadium. 
Players of both teams have tried to downplay the encounter that fans all over the world look forward to, but they admit that a match between the traditional rivals is more intense than other games and that it brings out the best in them. 

It is being said that it's going to be a clash between India's formidable batting line-up and Pakistan's potent and varied bowling attack. But taking into account all the factors, both teams would start on equal footing as there is little to separate them, except that the history heavily favours India. For instance, both teams won one warm-up game and lost one, going into the 'derby'. Crucially, India won their second game just two days before the Pakistan encounter and that too quite convincingly, against England on Wednesday. M.S. Dhoni's team had earlier lost to Sri Lanka in a close finish. 

Pakistan, on the other hand, beat New Zealand with one ball to spare in their first warm-up tie, but lost badly to South Africa as their batting came apart, losing by eight wickets with 36 balls left to be bowled. 
However, experts believe that these results wouldn't have much of a bearing when the first ball is bowled at 7.30 pm (Dhaka time) as players would forget the past and concentrate on the job at hand. For India, Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina had a good outing against England and the half-centuries that they hammered would give them confidence in a game that the whole of India wants the team to win. Raina particularly looks in good nick as he scored in both warm-up games. 

Yuvraj Singh scored in the first game, but interestingly wasn't given a bowl in either match. Still, the batting line-up looks settled, with the only question mark being against Ajinkya Rahane's selection as he failed to score against Sri Lanka and didn't get a chance to bat against England. Although Rahane has played seven T20 Internationals, crucially the last one came in December 2012. 

Dhoni said on Thursday that Rahane was being considered, but the manner in which he said that was not convincing. On the bowling front, he admitted it was an area of concern. 

India have an enviable record against Pakistan in ICC tournaments, including the first World T20 in 2007 when India beat Pakistan twice on their way to winning the title. But, quite interestingly, the two teams have played only five T20s since 2007, and India have won four of them - a nice, feel-good statistic that Dhoni and his teammates would like to see before the explosive clash. 

Rameez expects a battle of nerves 



It will be a battle between two equals when India and Pakistan clash in a World T20 match here on Friday, but the team that keeps its nerves would win, says former Pakistan captain Rameez Raja. 
While Rameez picked Ravindra Jadeja as key to India's gameplan and Suresh Raina as a match-winner, he said that Yuvraj Singh would have to regain form quickly. "I think it's pretty even stevens. Pakistan's strength obviously is bowling, but after giving away two-three wickets they have the propensity to bounce back also - as a batting unit. And, it's obviously going to be a battle of nerves. That's a given," Rameez told MAIL TODAY. 

"Also, Pakistan's form against India in the recent Asia Cup was good, even though that was 50-over format. So, they start this game with a slight advantage." Rameez, 51, is impressed with the way Raina batted in the two warm-up games. "Raina's form is critical and Virat Kohli doesn't seem to fail at all. Raina's form will warm the hearts of the Indian team management. 

He can play T20 cricket like anybody else. He is a match-winner as he's got big shots and he can work the singles," the former opener from Lahore said. 

"The only question mark is over Yuvraj's form. He didn't look too convincing against England." Rameez said Jadeja would be crucial to captain MS Dhoni's strategy. "If you compare India's bowling to their batting, it appears to be their weak link. And if Jadeja doesn't have a great day with the ball, India will struggle," he said.

Saif doesn't like taking the ramp, says Kareena Kapoor Khan

Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is a regular feature as the show-stopper at fashion shows, has said that her husband, actor Saif Ali Khan, stays away from ramp walk as he does not like it much.

"He is now in Chandigarh. He is working. We (Saif and I) walked for Manish once. He doesn't like taking the ramp too much. He is quite excited when I walk the ramp year after year," Kareena told PTI.

Kareena walked the ramp on March 16 as a show stopper for the grand finale of the Lakme Fashion Week. This time she walked for designer Rajesh Pratap Singh.




"It is great that Lakme has chosen me as their brand ambassador. For the last five years, I've walked the ramp for them for the grand finale. It is synergy that is synonymous with Kareena now. I wait year after year for them to come with fantastic designers, this time they had Rajesh Pratap Singh," she said.

"It is great to walk the ramp as I am an actor and not a model. But it is one night in the year when I feel I am in Paris," she added.

Kareena said she does not feel nervous any longer while walking the ramp. "Whatever I do, I do with the utmost passion," she added.

Talking about what she was wearing, Kareena says, "It is very futuristic and dramatic. But it is very comfortable to wear, I can walk the ramp freely."

She said her style lies in the fact that she is confident and never follows leading trends but lives life on her terms. "I am most comfortable in track pants and T-shirts. My wardrobe is casual and that is the way I am. But it is fun to dress up once in a while," she added.

LFW, which began on March 12, ended on March 16.

What is troubling Angelina Jolie nowadays?

Actress Jennifer Aniston has got an offer to release a tell-all book with details of the past and the news is reportedly making Angelina Jolie nervous.
Aniston's ex-husband Brad Pitt and Jolie are now partners.

Jolie and Pitt grew close to each other while filming the 2005 film "Mr & Mrs Smith", during which time the latter was married to Aniston.

"Angelina's worked hard to build up her image as a humanitarian and separate herself from the public outcry when she got together with Brad. She felt the whole 'Team Jen' and 'Team Ange' thing had finally died a death and that the perception of her being a husband stealer was in the past, but then she heard about the book offer," a source told Now magazine, reports contactmusic.com.

Aniston, now engaged to Justin Theroux, knows that the part where she will recount the deatils of her breakup with Pitt will be tough to write, said the source.

"If Jen does sign a book deal, she knows the chapter on Brad and Ange will be the hardest for her to write - but it will also be the one everyone will be after. Jen doesn't want to spark any new rows, but there's so much history involved that it's inevitable," the source added.
