Mumbai: Bag to basics
If they like something, they make it a point to wear it everywhere. Deepika Padukone has been spotted around town carrying her big red Dior bag. Not to mention the silver keds. She even keeps hair clips handy! Kabhi kabhi Deepika, aisa hota hai?

Next best thing?
Spotted Anjana Sukhani in the latest rage in fashion the boyfriend jeans. No sillies, it doesn't mean you go out wearing your boyfriend's jeans (in Anjana's case it would also mean going out to look for a boyfriend) they are simply a pair that is far more forgiving than skinny jeans tight around the rear but relaxed around the legs. Boyfriend nahi, jeans sahi?

Narmada who?
According to reports, Salman Khan is very upset with Govinda for telling people that he wants to launch Chi Chi's daughter Narmada. Salman's spokesperson says, "The news of Salman launching Narmada is baseless. Govinda didn't speak to Salman regarding this and vice versa. Salman feels that people are making up these stories just to malign him. Later, when the project doesn't happen, people will blame Salman saying he refused to sign her!" And you thought that Chi Chi was the paranoid one!

Chatting up with Farhan
In a live chat with BBC India's editor Sanjeev Srivastava in Mumbai for the BBC show Ek Mulaquat on Radio One, Farhan Akhtar revealed:

One person he would love to work with is Robert De Niro

His all time favorite romantic song is "Abhi na jao chod ke…" from the classic Hum Dono

He met his wife ten years ago at a party, and was smitten the first time he saw her.

He will NEVER sing for another actor !

Dream destinations!
Dubai is apparently Sonal Chauhan's favourite shopping destination. In in her own words, "I am brand-conscious and Dubai has some of the best in the world. The ones that aren't available in Mumbai, I shop for them in Dubai. In fact, I just bought a Fendi bag and Jimmy Choo shoes there. (Sigh! Will someone please enlighten here that they are available in Mumbai?) She also says that while in Dubai shopping, for her vacations she prefers Europe, "I have travelled to all the European countries. I feel at home over there." Guess it's time to actually sign movies to fund all this, no? Any offers in hand, Sonal?

Dress change
We spotted Juhi Chawla looking radiant at a recent event to promote an umcoming animation flick based on The Ramayana. The actress lends her voice to Sita's character. Happy to note that she has ditched her boring kurtis in favour of the classic churidar-kurta. Definitely an improvement!

Spotted
Celina Jaitly at Ivy recently asking for beer. Guess being high on life is not quite enough for the starlet. A tipple or two can make that difference.

RAZA'S BOLLYWOOD

Q What would have been the title of Ru-Ba-Ru had Mallika Sherawat played the lead in it?
