What’s on my mind? keep guessing! Rakhi Sawant We know well-endowed women fascinate men, but Rakhi Sawant seems to be fascinated with her own ‘assets’! Why else would she fondle them in public? We won’t even try to understand this behaviour. It’ll be far easier to decode The Da Vinci Code than the goings-on of Rakhi’s mind! Come fly with me I believe i can fly: Tejas with his sister Actor Prachee Shah’s 19-year-old brother Tejas has become the youngest captain at Kingfisher Airlines and it’s all thanks to his big sister. He tells HiTLIST, “My father wanted me to become a doctor, but Prachee stood by me. She convinced dad to let me to do what I want. Once he understood, he sent me to Canada for training. Now, I can’t wait to pilot my family. Once I’m through with 1,000 hours of flying, I will become a full-fledged pilot.” Prachee is now getting ready to celebrate her brother’s achievement on his 20th birthday (on August 8) at Mainland China. Sweet! Mard ko dard nahin hota Haath hai hathoda nahin: Romit Raaj Young television actor Romit Raaj broke his wrist (well almost) on the sets of Maayka. The actor was required to hit a wall in frustration for a shot, and he was so involved that he ended up breaking his wrist bone. But the ‘braveheart’ continued shooting. He says, “I had to finish the episode and didn’t realise how much my hand was hurting. I just wanted to give my best shot.” The director of the show, Rakesh Malhotra, adds, “Romit tends to get very involved in the scenes. Poor chap hurt his hand badly. But I like the commitment he shows towards work.” Chalo, as long as director saab is khush, minor bruises and broken bones are of no consequence! So much for India Celebrating the des in pardes: SRK Chak De! India, a proudly chest-beating Indian film, will be releasing in India on August 10 without much fanfare. While that’s no reason not to wish Shah Rukh Khan & Co good luck for the film, we’re truly disappointed to learn that fans in London and Los Angeles are going to see far more action than their Indian counterparts. On the 60th anniversary of India’s independence, the film’s cast and crew will celebrate the film (that’s supposed to bring a surge of patriotism to our cold, cold hearts) in the UK and USA (someone please explain this patriotic logic to us). Apparently, two gala world premieres have been organised there as centerpieces of global celebrations of Indian culture on the 60th anniversary of Indian independence. No harm in that really, but we can’t understand why the Indian audience is being left out of what is their celebration. We’d love to thump our chests with national pride alongside SRK and Yash Raj, but it seems we’re just not important enough. Their ‘international market’ and the money they’re going to make out of it is all that matters in the end, huh? Write to us at hitlist@mid-day.com and tell us what you think! A table for two Food for thought: Ekta Kapoor Eating out of her hands? Anuj Saxena On Sunday night, Balaji czarina Ekta Kapoor was spotted dining with actor-producer Anuj Saxena at a Juhu nightspot. Last heard, Ekta was furious with Anuj for walking out of Kkusum and launching his own production house, Maverick. So has the duo’s cold war ended? Or is this meeting to do with the television awards both are organising this year? It’s common knowledge now that Ekta has barred Balaji actors from participating in Anuj’s awards gala. But like it happens in the soaps, anything is possible in tellyland! A ‘Saif’ Sunday Bringing up daddy: Saif Ali Khan and son Ibrahim We couldn’t help but get dreamy-eyed when we spotted Saif Ali Khan strutting down from his apartment in Lokhandwala with son Ibrahim’s hand tightly gripped in his. The doting father was taking Ibrahim to the neighbourhood mall’s play center, which is full of video games, car rides and flying carpets. The mall was swarming with hundreds of shoppers but that didn’t stop him from stepping out in such a public place. Dressed in jeans, a white tee and a pink bandana, Saif was a picture of casual ease. While he did attract a fair amount of attention, after a point the crowd gave him space to have a good time with his son. Once Ibrahim was satisfied, the duo headed home. Blue-blooded, well-bred or a simpleton when it comes to fatherhood, whatever it is Saif definitely wins our vote for being a hands-on dad!
