Breaking News: Vidya Balan is pregnant
Smart, ain't she? A pun in a way when she meant 'pregnant' because not only is she busy promoting her film No One Killed Jessica, she has wrapped up her film Kahani too which is directed by Sujoy Ghosh. On further questioning, she quotes, "Working with Sujoy was great fun. Kahani is special because I shot this film in my favourite city: Kolkata. It's the fourth film I've shot there. I've seen Kolkata like I've never seen before."
So when it comes to hard work, you know for sure that Vidya Balan nails it and how. To our surprise, she unquotes her quote, "After Parineeta, I felt that I really worked hard in Ishqiya but after Kahani, I felt that I've never worked hard before. We worked our a** off. It's about this woman who comes down from London in search of her husband and what a search it was.
Suave, smart, hard working, talented and then comes respect. Yes, one of the most respected names when it comes to the field of acting, she doesn't forget to pay one too to her director Sujoy Ghosh. She comments, "I must say this today that I have the highest regards and respect for Sujoy Ghosh more as a human being.

I've seen the worse come out of people in pressure but not Sujoy. God Bless him for that."And God Bless you too Vidya!
Akshay Kumar is spending a considerable measure of time with Katrina Kaif
And boy, is Katrina getting clued in! Let's hear it, Sheila ki zubaani (voice). "I've to admit I couldn't have hoped for a more fun teacher than Akshay. I come from a place where I can't gush about how I grew up on a staple diet of Sholay and Mughal-e-Azam. Akshay knows it all. He is completely clued into the cult of potboilers and can mimic every actor and act out every famous sequence. Being with him over the last few weeks, I am finally getting knowledgeable about Hindi movies.
The games of Dumb Charade are being played between bouts of promotion on cars and flights in several cities across the country. Akshay and Katrina have hired a private plane for the 12-city 25-day tour. "So we get a lot of time to play Dumb Charade. By the time the promotions for Tees Maar Khan are over, I think I'll be an expert on Bollywood trivia," Katrina has her fingers crossed.
The education works both ways. While Akshay acts out scenes from Hindi films during Dumb Charade, Katrina mimes magical moments from Hollywood films for Akshay. "So I guess we are both learning on the job," she chuckles.c

The police say they’ve been asking the actress to record her statement, but that she hasn’t done this yet.

According to Nalin, his servant at the flat told him that a lady had come in, given him some cash, taken a lot of items from the house, loaded them in a vehicle and left.
