Rakhi Sawant prays for Aishwarya

Item girl Rakhi Sawant is elated to hear that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is expecting and she said that she is praying this to Lord Jesus for the last eight months.

Rakhi Sawant said, "Aishwarya has everything in life - success, fame and money. I'm sure she wanted to experience motherhood. I love the Bachchan family and my best wishes are with them." Is she also thinking to settle down? "Not at all. I still have a few more years left to work before I settle down in life and take a sabbatical. Mujhe pata hai heroines ki kya right age hai shaadi karne ke liye. Of what we have seen so far, 34-35 is perfect for anyone to get married. Fortunately, I still have about five more years to invest in the industry," she says. "Swayamvar ke baad se toh vishwas shaadi se uth gaya. Har kisi ki kismat Aishwarya Rai, Shilpa Shetty jaisi nahin hoti. They are lucky to have found the right life partner. It is scary to get married to a person who wants to use you for personal gains”.

Very soon we will get to see Rakhi Sawant in ‘Ratan Ki Swayambar’. She tells us that the viewers will be shocked to see her in a new avatar. "Main show mein shock value ke liye hoon. Main sab ladkon ki taang kheechne waali hoon. Kaun kitne paani mai hai sab pata chal jayega."

Telugu film review: 180 is emotional torture

180 is two and a half hours of emotional torture that is so brutally assaultive in its determination to extort sympathy from viewers that it practically leaps off the screen and into their laps in order to get to it. This film is completely contrived and uneven; by the end we are screaming to yank our eyes and ears away from all that overtly dramatic music, glycerin tears, the super sensitive subject choice and the crushing lack of sensibility. Siddharth’s heartfelt performance and the exquisite cinematography can't redeem the dramatic fallacies surrounding this mess.

Mind you, 180 has a rather intriguing first act, but by the end it just left me mourning the movie that might have been.The idea of a young character facing death can’t help but be compelling in a way, but director Sarma and his writing collaborator Umarji Anuradha aren’t satisfied with telling the story in a clean and straightforward manner. Instead, they adopt a structure that tells the story from the shifting memories of the central character, (though on close inspection it’s a technique they ignore as often as they follow it).

A stranger who calls himself Ajay (Siddharth) arrives in Kasi on a spiritual journey. After a super duper ultra slow motion bath in the river, he moves to Hyderabad and stays as a paying guest with an elderly couple (Mouli and Geetha). Ajay indulges in weird things like selling moong falli on the streets, helping slum kids deliver newspapers and standing up for the common man. Photo journalist Vidya (Menen) is smitten by Ajay’s saintly attitude, and she wastes no time in expressing her feelings for him. Ajay, who hides a traumatic past, rejects her and suddenly leaves the city – it’s when Jayendra pulls the rug from under our feet by involving one of the characters in a terrible accident.The frightening escalation of Ajay’s past is glimpsed in vivid flashbacks, but the result is a laughable jumble.

Moreover, Jayendra and Anuradha ratchet up the mawkish quotient mercilessly. It’s not simply that they go for the jugular in scenes like the inevitable one where the hero wants to make one last visit to his lady love.It’s that they ladle on the plot holes with grotesque profusion. A character who suffers from a broken spine is shifted from Hyderabad to San Francisco for an emergency surgery. Another sees death – which is portrayed as a sidey black man wearing trench coats and carrying ropes. And while a patient battles life and death, we’re transported to the romantic flashback between Ajay and Renu (Anand), which includes a picturesque joyous song sequence, then an obligatory sad cameo from Ajay’s mother who dies, which is almost immediately followed by a wedding and another romantic number.

Tonal inconsistencies be damned, 180 suffers from sheer sloppiness of script that results in scenes of comedic frivolity.The dramatic turns in the second half are so conceptually off-kilter that they really succeed as unintentional hilarity. A prime example of the latter would be a scene where ‘Death’ (the black dude) stands on a flowing river, and points and laughs. Not to mention the big reveal – the scene is hysterically overlaid with a dramatic song so as to dampen its persuasive power. It's as if Siddharth had to convince even the filmmakers of his plight.

Priya Anand’s performance — talk about people going overboard in an effort to make an impression. I can understand why she would want to take this role, but her work here is so shrill and overbearing (even beyond the demands of the character) that it just becomes embarrassing. Nithya Menen comes off as painfully forced for most part of the film. The best performance is given by Balasubramaniam’s high speed camera that captures some truly amazing, detailed slow-mo nuggets (although why those sequences existed in the movie remains a mystery).

180 feels like there was an explosion at the sob story factory and little pieces from dozens of different films were jammed together into one dreadful mutant. The whole terminal illness melodrama attacks your chest so relentlessly, that by the time it's over you’re forced to beg for a defibrillator.

Vidya Balan is getting hotter!

Seems like the sizzling quotient in her new movie, Dirty Picture is already giving Vidya Balan the fever.

The acclaimed actress was to do a series of reading workshops with Tusshar Kapoor over the next couple of days, but unfortunately for her, Viddy woke up on Thursday morning with high temperature and unbearable body ache, informed a unit member.

Since director Milan Luthria couldn't hold the workshop without his onscreen Silk Smitha, he has cancelled the sessions until she recovers.

Aamir Khan's 'hair-raising' item song in Delhi Belly

Besides having sported a retro look for his much-talked-about item song in his forthcoming production, Delhi Belly, Aamir Khan also seemed to have adopted a peculiar mannerism.

He is seen consciously caressing his seemingly overgrown chest hair!

This reminded us of Austin Powers and when we pointed out the resemblance to Hollywood actor Mike Myers' over-the-top trait, the actor quipped, "No no, it is inspired by Anil Kapoor." and then he quickly added, "I hope he doesn't get angry with me now."

Also, at a recent press meet the actor-filmmaker revealed a secret he wanted to hold on to, until the film releases on July 1 he has also lent his voice for the item number I love You Like I Hate You.

Aamir further added that he was inspired by many yesteryear's actors to do this number.

"Like the hairstyle is inspired by Amitabh Bachchan, the dancing moves are an influence of Rishi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty and Govinda," he explains.

Watch out for a sexier Katrina

The actress bags a role in the film and is already going through a special training to fit the part

It is confirmed. Katrina Kaif is the next Dhoom girl. Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra were also in the running for the role but it was Kats who finally bagged the project.

She will star opposite Aamir Khan in this Yash Raj banner's next to be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya.

Esha Deol and Bipasha Basu went through a complete make over and wowed the audience with their super hot bods and bikini look in the earlier editions of the movie.

It is to be seen now whether Aditya Chopra can convince Katrina to let go of her inhibitions and don a bikini in this one.

A source informs, "Kats will have a sexy makeover for the film, as per the tradition. A Dhoom girl is supposed to look extremely sensous.

Though she has great body but for this film she will have to undergo special training and tone up a bit more."

YRF's favourite

The model-turned-actress seems to have become the latest blue-eyed girl of the Yash Raj Films. Dhoom 3 will be her fifth film with the banner.

The actress has just wrapped-up Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and is soon to start shooting for Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger with Salman Khan. She is also doing Yash Chopra's next with Shah Rukh Khan.

As of now, barring Zindagi Na Mile Dobara, Kats is only doing films with YRF.

Salman Khan caught Smoking in public again !

Looks like actor Salman Khan has again got back to his trouble lander mode. Days after he was fined for smoking in public, Bollywood’s ‘dabangg’ actor Salman Khan was seen flouting the rule. Salman, who is shooting for the film-Bodyguard in Patiala was seen smoking at Sarhind Road.

This public figure, who is enjoying the success of Ready got into trouble while shooting in Punjab earlier for smoking a cigar in public. Salman and the producer of the upcoming film were slapped a fine when they were caught smoking in Baradari based Hotel Neemrana a few days back.

While shooting for his film Bodyguard in Punjab, Salman was penalised by the local administration for smoking in public place at a hotel. Taking a photograph as a proof, which was published in a daily, the Patiala district administration issued a notice (challan) to Salman Khan, which was ironically observed as World No Tabacco Day.

Reportedly, a Patiala-based NGO has also decided to serve a legal notice to Salman for smoking in public. In January 2009, Salman was issued two notices for smoking at a public place in Kurali town in Punjab's Mohali district earlier.

The star cast of the film including Kareena Kapoor, Raj Babbar, Asrani and Aditya Pancholi are camping in Patiala for the film’s shooting, which will continue till July 15.

Is Katrina Kaif The Next Item Girl For Dhoom 3?

But after much speculation, India's sexiest woman Katrina Kaif again proved that he is still the most sought after sexy actress when it comes to making the numbers.

This is the fifth time the project banner and the big question is whether the manufacturer is able to persuade Aditya Chopra Katrina Let inhibitions and wear bikini this.

Reliable sources tell us, "Kat is a sexy makeover for the film, as per tradition, the Dhoom girl looks very sensual." Katrina has also been reported to undergo any special training to soften her body. In the past, actresses like Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu and Esha Deol fit the bill went through some serious makeovers Dhoom girl sporting skin revealing outfits.

Bruce Lee And Brandon Lee Death Curse

Brandon Lee, the famous martial arts star Bruce Lee's son, was shot and killed.There were similarities, leaving open the possibility of conspiracy. two major theories about the thought of foul play lend a hand.

Chinese Mafia, Triads theory theory and evidence and to Bruce and Brandon holding force through your link. Other theories have been considered as possible and are well proven. Too many "coincidences" on the set and during the investigation, the state that his death was an accident.

Bruce Lee, martial arts star, is pronounced dead on July 20, 1973. He admitted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, but died before arrival. All the details of his death remain unclear and somewhat covered up. , "Game of Death."The three went over the script and soon after, Chow left. Lee began to complain of a headache Tingpei Equagesuc him a shot (a super-aspirin), which was determined to have her.

Tingpei Chow called around 9:00 pm to ask why was he never showed up for dinner as planned. Tingpei Chow said he could not wake Lee. He did not and could revive the dead, the doctor concluded in the form of an edema (brain swelling). Why not have aroused Tingpei previously had for dinner as planned to meet? And he tried, and he does not, why could not she call the police right away? Most of all, he did not determine why some are willing to pay for it? These questions and many others make up less like Bruce Lee's death and the murder look like an accident.

Coke Studio India. June 17th. 7 PM. MTV.

Coke Studio is finally in India. And while there may be questions about the credibility of the show and comparisons to its much older Pakistani counterpart, I am quite hopeful and almost sure that this will be a wonderful experience for us.

For now, here is some detail about the show, mostly about who all are gonna be there on the show.

The show will have twenty artistes. While the top Bollywood line of the show comprises of Shankar Mahadevan, Shaan, KK and Sunidhi Chauhan, we’ll also see Kailash Kher, Richa Sharma, Shruti Pathak, and Benny Dayal from Bollywood singers.

Besides, there will be Raghu Dixit, or should I say The Raghu Dixit Project, the well known name from Bangalore; once so popular Colonial Cousins – Hariharan and Leslie Lewis; comparatively lesser known Bollywood singers Harshdeep Kaur and Akriti Kakkar (Harshdeep is winner of two television reality shows and has even sung for A R Rahman in Rang De Basanti, Akriti has almost twenty movies to her credit where she has sung); and the singer of mora saiyyan, aankhon kay sagar, mitwa, and many more, Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan.

Then there are Sabri Brothers*, Aftab and Hashim Sabri, qawwali singers who have sung for Hindi films as well, my best memory being of Allah Allah from Yeh Dil Ashiqana (no idea how crappy the movie was but the songs were good, the qawwali being one of the best) and Tumse mil ke dil ka hai jo haal from Main hoon na.

Also the show will have Sufi singers Puranchand and Pyarelal Wadali i.e. Wadali Brothers there too. The pair has also sung a couple of songs for Bollywood, the latest being Rangrez in Tanu weds Manu.

In lesser known singers, which could and should make the real life of the show, there will be Assamese Bihu specialist Khagen Gogoi, Tamilnadu’s once-a-singer-at-thirteen Chinna Ponnu, another Assamese Mausam Gogoi, maker of boatmen band Majhi Mallah Saurav Mandal and New Delhi’s eclectic music group Advaita.

What is still a confusion though, is that while the list above is given on the ‘Artists’ page of the Coke Studio website, there is another sentence that says ‘The collaborations are so eclectic as to bring together Shafqat Ali and Shruti Pathak, Sunidhi Chauhan and Wadali Brothers, Kailash Kher and Papon, Shankar Mahadevan and Khogen Da, and Bombay Jayshree, Richa Sharma and Rashid Khan among others‘ while going by the list, I won’t find Papon, Bombay Jayshree and Rashid Khan on the show.

* My guess is that there is some mix up regarding them on the Coke Studio’s official website, they claim that Sabri Brothers are a Pakistani Qawwali party.

Avan Ivan Music Review

The much anticipated audio of the season Avan Ivan audio launch has took place at the Residency Towers in Chennai. The lead cast Vishal, Arya, Janani Iyer and Madhu Shalini were present at the event. Those who blessed the occasion include the director Bala, Veteran actress Prabha, music director Yuvan Shankar Raja and Yuvan’s sister Bhavatharini. There are 5 numbers in this album, each representing a kind of its own. Let's go for a musical journey of Yuvan's Avan Ivan album...

Rasathi

Singers: Haricharan

Lyricis: Na. Muthukumar

Rasathi is the stunning attraction of the album. Haricharan’s vocals and Na Muthukumar’s lyrics will surely land us on place with no norms. Haricharan has sung well by not dropping the pace all through the song. Yuvan has done the tuning in a skilled manner. The song starts on a slow note and later picks the mist and ends high. Should go for it………

Dia Dia Dole...

Singers: Suchithra

Lyricis: Na.Muthukumar

Though we find the music quite regular but while hearing to this folk number you can’t stop foot from dancing. A cheerful and lively song sung by Suchithra with right gusto. She has done a fantastic job by maintaining the tempo of the song all through. Yuvan’s folk arrangement is awesome and the start of the song itself makes interesting listen. If Dia Dia Dole takes a right place in the film then the song is sure to create Teen Maar in theatres. The song is totally occupied by music but lyrics too are appreciable. Ideal song for those who are waiting for a perfect folk music as their food for ears.

Oru Malayoram

Singers: Vijay Yesudas, Baby Priyanka, Baby Srinisa & Baby Nithyashree

Lyricis: Na.Muthukumar

The song slow-paced melody draws us with its appealing tune in the starting but within no time it looses its sweetness. The harmony on lead guitars is well occupied throughout the song with few symphonic orchestrations. Yuvan somewhere makes us recall his father’s earlier compositions. Can give a listen!

I was malnourished and exhausted:Selena Gomez

Singer-actress Selena Gomez, who was rushed to hospital after complaining of nausea and a severe headache, admits that she was malnourished and exhausted. But she says she is fine now.

"I was just very malnourished... low on iron and exhausted," contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

The 18-year-old was supposed to hit the stage with her band The Scene for a concert to promote her new film " Monte Carlo" in Santa Monica, California, Friday - but her hospitalisation forced the promoters to postpone the gig.

The show was rescheduled for Monday afternoon and a healthy Gomez thanked her fans for turning up.

"If you guys came on Friday, I'm so sorry that I couldn't be here... I love you guys very much," she said.

Ajay-Anil action sequence on hold

Ajay Devgn and Anil Kapoor were supposed to do a man-to-man combat sequence for Priyadarshan's "Tezz", but the makers have decided to shoot it later.

Shooting fight scenes are not as easy as it sounds - both the stars need to be in their best physical shape to shoot the action sequence, which, according to a source, will throw an even meaner punch than the Salman Khan-Sonu Sood fight in "Dabangg".

Tezz producer Ratan Jain, who is in Europe for the film's shoooting, admits the Ajay-Anil action sequence will be shot in Mumbai.

"At the moment we're shooting other really complex action sequences on trains, cars and helicopters with Ajay, Anil, Sameera Reddy and Suniel Shetty. Boman Irani and Mohanlal have completed their work and gone back," said Jain.

"Zayed Khan was here. He is gone back to Mumbai. Kangana Ranaut will be joining us soon. This is a schedule that got postponed earlier due to inclement weather. They are all action sequences. Yes, we're shooting the big Ajay-Anil action sequence on a set representing a tunnel in Mumbai," he added.

At this point of time, it isn't very clear whether Anil and Ajay will be bare-chested for the fight to the finish between the protagonist and antagonist in "Tezz".

The Killing Review: Sex, Lies, and Email

Linden and Holder hit the truth jackpot this week, as the charming and soft spoken Darren Richmond had quite the dirty little secret. After all, what would politics be without a little sex scandal? Now it seems we all know exactly what he did.

Just because Richmond is Orpheus doesn't necessarily make him Rosie's killer. Sure, the ominous shot of his hidden face in the doorway made him look menacing and the creepy questions about drowning were eerily reminiscent of the way in which Rosie died. Is that enough to convict him of a crime?

It would be easy to point the finger again, but let's remember what happened to Bennet Ahmed because of it.

Perhaps instead of a freaky water and drowning fetish, Richmond was simply looking for companionship in an effort to remember his dead wife and talk out his feelings of regret and loss.

Did his wife drown and he simply couldn't imagine the pain and suffering she endured before her death? Was he responsible? Maybe her death occurred due to a kayaking accident. There was a photo of the two kayaking together.

Sometimes, just when you think you know someone, you really know nothing at all.

So, while Richmond's question of guilt lies waiting for the finale, "Beau Soleil" did finally create the big connection between the murder and the political campaign.

This significant reveal, while seemingly inevitable, included a buildup that maintained a gripping tension until the end. It was great to see Linden, Holder, and even Richmond's campaign advisor, Gwen Eaton, all discover Richmond's ties to Beau Soleil and Rosie. Despite the fact that all three characters learned essentially the same fact, each reveal felt equally important and edge-of-your-seat fantastic.

Additionally, with the pickup of case information, last episode's character development and missing Jack storyline weren't abandoned. The personal matters certainly touch a deep nerve with Linden and it seems to be the one area that really breaks her stone concentration. She truly cares deeply for her son and the arrival of her ex didn't change that.

Similarly, Stan illustrates a passion for his family that extends towards a willingness to do anything for them. I'm glad he was able to speak his mind after Mitch met him at the jail. I understand that everyone has their own way of dealing with grief, but enough with the whining and lashing out. It's gotten old and I'm not interested in attending her pity party. If she doesn't get herself together, I can foresee her marriage taken a negative and broken turn.

After 12 episodes, The Killing has maintained its fresh take on the crime drama that departs from the fast paced worlds of shows like CSI. This series has managed to weave together interesting characters and drama while surrounding them with a murder mystery that finds both equally important. Hopefully, the season finale will garner a satisfying conclusion that rings true to thematic and riveting design that calls viewers back for more.

Will next week's season finale actually reveal the true killer? Is it Richmond? Will there be a last minute twist or will it be a straightforward, cut and dry conclusion? Sound off below with your theories, comments, and questions!

The Walt Disney Company: Disney's designs on India

After Do Dooni Chaar, the first Hindi live-action movie distributed by The Walt Disney Company (Disney) in India, won a National Award, the Hollywood studio tied up with UTV Motion Pictures (UTV) for more. The two studios, which have had a long-standing association, have entered a movie co-production deal to bring out four to five new titles a year.

While Disney and UTV will share creative responsibilities such as conceptualisation and scripting for these films, UTV will manage the production, marketing and distribution. The deal is another testimony to Disney’s grand designs for the Indian entertainment market, after its entry in 2004. In 2006, the company acquired Indian children’s television channel, Hungama TV, and took an equity interest in media company UTV Software Communications.

The Disney Television Network currently comprises Disney Channel, Disney XD and Hungama TV; the network currently reaches over 71 million homes with Sun Distribution Services as the exclusive distribution partner.

So far as films go, it had earlier tied up with Yash Raj Films to produce its first Indian animation feature, Roadside Romeo, and after Do Dooni Chaar (co-produced with Planman Motion Pictures) it had gone on to make two other live-action movies. Meanwhile, Disney took on the task of distributing all its movies, scrapping an earlier year-old agreement with UTV for distribution in India. The new co-production partnership with UTV will be more comprehensive and of a longer term.

Walt Disney Company (India) Managing Director Mahesh Samat explains the need for such a tie-up. “Our strategy to build a truly Indian Walt Disney Company has mostly been about joint ventures with local partners. We have done that for our publishing and gaming businesses like we did for earlier movies. This one will be an alliance of equals, because it will leverage UTV’s success in movie-making in Bollywood and our history in story-telling for the entire family,” he says.

Siddharth Roy Kapur, CEO of UTV Motion Pictures, points out another benefit. “These Hindi movies will be mainly for a South Asian audience. While we have a strong footprint in distributing movies for such an audience in theatres abroad, Disney will be able to help us with non-theatrical platforms, including digital. It has better synergies on these,” he adds.

Roy Kapur says the production of the first movie is in its final stages. The duo will also look to build larger franchises from some of the co-produced movies.

The 5 guys every woman should have

I have always believed that Draupadi was lucky. After all, she was legalized as the wife of five men. She really didn't need to fake a headache when it got boring with the same guy. Moreover, I am sure none of them doubted her integrity when she waved goodbye to one and went off into the sunset with another. If we all had our way, we would have five guys at any given point of time. However, since we are not Draupadi, we should at least have five before we settle down with one.

1. The Best Friend - You would have known this guy for a very long time. He might even have had a crush on you at some point. But somewhere, you've never been attracted to him in that way and you don't want to lose him for a silly reason like sex. Your guy best friend is the one you turn to when you really don't want to tell your girlfriends exactly what you are thinking. He's the one who admires your black humour and praises your stupidity. He can take you out for ice cream when you're feeling low and buy you a drink when you want to get smashed. But he will always bring you home safely and still love you in the morning. Your guy best friend will cheer you up because he's always there. You need him because he's the one who will "complete" you. But he's the one you can't ever be in love with. Because that is not something, you feel from your heart.

2. The Bad Boy - Whether it is a biker or a commitment phobic, a smoker or an alcoholic, the bad boy is someone who cries out to women to look after him. His compulsive need to be different attracts women so much to him that they feel they are the only ones who can reform these men. The nurturing quality of women makes them vulnerable to these bad boys. And the men do reform. They stop their bad habits for a bit. They convince the women that they have changed, that they cannot live without these women and they will die if these women leave. Soon enough they pick up another bad habit even if they have given up an old one. Their need to be different, stand out, and seek attention makes them compulsively rebel. The bad boy makes a woman discover that no man can ever change. And even after she gets married, instead of getting frustrated with attempting to change her husband, she will remember this lesson and try another day.

3. The Ex - This man came and swept you off your feet. He was charming, attractive, intelligent, and funny. Everything that you wanted and loved. There was a brief romance where you felt he loved you and everything was hunky dory. Then all of a sudden, it was over. After repeated calls, text messages and stalking on social networking sites, the dialogue ended and there was silence. It took you months to figure out if you had been the problem. You spend nights in analyzing the things you could have done to change his mind. And weekends are spent crying and watching re-runs at home since you have no place to go and you don't want sympathetic glances from your friends. The Ex is the Unrequited Love you feel was your True Love. The one that got away, the one that should have been your "soulmate." But it's not meant to be. The Ex was a part of your life because it was supposed to fill you up with something to do. It was a distraction to your boredom. It was a necessary relationship to make you understand that men will come and go but you need to be strong for yourself. The Ex always needs to happen. Only then can you have a Current.

4. The Love Buddy - Fact: Dating has become difficult. By the time you ask people to set you up, you get ready, go on a date, enjoy the other person's company, and decide he is worth spending time with; a few years would have passed. In the meantime, hot showers and bubble baths are getting boring. You need more. You need a Man. That is when the love buddy comes in handy. This is a person who is very discreet. He has as much to lose as you do. He needs you to keep his secret as much as you never want this relationship getting out. He is the man who you can call just to fulfill your base need and continue with your life. He might not be a great conversationalist, or a great looker but he is awesome in bed. In fact, he should be so good that you don't need him for anything else. You don't need to go out for dinner and movies or take long walks and discuss books. This man is purely there for lust. You know you will never marry him and he knows you'll never ask for a commitment. He is the one who knows your body and you do not care whether he doesn't know your mind or soul. However, the joy of this relationship will last only until the time you have no emotional attachment. As soon as you feel you're getting entangled, it needs to stop and his number to be deleted permanently. It must never be spoken about. This is one skeleton you must take to your grave!

5. The Husband Variety - Indian Moms always know the husband variety. That is why they are excellent at picking up the right boy for an arranged marriage. He is the one who is stable with a good career and a level head. In comparison to your flighty goals and loud laughter, this man will indulge you and tell you the pros and cons of what you're planning or even give you suggestions on what you should be planning. He will be caring with the parents, bond with your siblings and drive your drunken friends home at night. He will have conversation that makes sense and support you for the right reasons. The husband is the man who everyone will love. And you will love him back. He will be the one you should settle down with. The husband might not seem right "for now," but he will be the right one, forever.

Dialysis stopped for Superstar Rajinikanth
