I can do a $ex scene with Anushka: Ranveer

We all have heard it a zillion times that they are not dating, but 'Band Baaja Baarat' co-stars Ranveer Singh and Anushka have always managed to dodge the question with weird explanations of why they are not dating. Here comes another one from Ranveer Singh!

Recently, one of the most eligible bachelors of B-town revealed on Star World's celebrity chat show 'Simi Selects India's Most Desirable' that though he's attracted to the 'Rab Ne Bana De Jodi' actress, they aren't an item.

When asked how he could resist her, Ranveer replied, “It’s not easy. Look at her. She’s beautiful. She’s a stunner…She is this most amazing amalgamation of beauty and talent and intelligence and wit…I am awestruck by her!

So why isn’t he dating her? “I do get attracted to her at times. It’s hard (to stay away). I am not good enough to be Anushka Sharma’s boyfriend.”

Singh, who was even caught kissing Sharma on an actor's birthday bash, went on to elaborate, “She’s so beautiful; I am not that good looking. She’s so talented; I am not so talented… she deserves someone better than me and that’s why I would not put her through me. I think Anushka deserves better than me. I am not good for Anushka… period.”

Good effort, Ranveer!

However, ask them about their compatibility on camera, and both agree that they get along like a house on fire.

Ranveer even went on to add that he is comfortable in shooting intimate scene with Anushka. “I can do a $ex scene with Anushka again because she’s a very supportive co-star.”

The actor was also all praises for her rumored girlfriend's professionalism and acting.

Ranveer gets candid about his first break

The 23-year-old actor, who has become popular with girls after his debut film, said that he had his share of struggles before entering the mainstream cinema.

“Things got really bad as my struggle period coincided with recession, so I really hit rock bottom. My family was also not having the best of time financially. But my family is my grounding experience,” he adds.

However, soon, the actor got his break. “First time in their history, YRF (Yash Raj Films) launched a lead solo hero who was a newcomer.” And now, he says, he has “no time to pause and see what all is happening around.”



Ranveer raps for Simi Garewal

Host Simi Garewal has managed to get the Bollywood newcomer Ranveer Singh to rap on her show.

She will get the actor talking on a lot of topics, right from his entry into the world of films, his one-time bad experience with casting couch and his much talked-about chemistry with co-star Anushka Sharma.

"I haven't had a chance to pause and take in all that has happened to me" explains the " Band Baaja Baaraat" superstar. His performance was not just loved by the audience, but was also noticed by the legends of Bollywood. Says the Bandra boy, "Shah Rukh Khan called and praised me for my performance in "BBB"." Although he has no time for a girlfriend he had a lot to say about co-star Anushka Sharma. "She is amazing and beautiful and tough to resist", reveals the actor! When asked why then is he not dating her, Ranveer replied, "I'm not good enough for her"! He also showed his emotional side when he broke down during the show after hearing the praise and accolades from his parents.

What was evident was the way in which he charmed the audience. He created a mass hysteria when he made them sing to his tune on "Chumma Chumma". He also danced with a girl from the audience. The talented youngster also stunned everyone on the set with a rap song and dance routine that summarised his journey through Bollywood and ended with a message from "BBB" - 'Bread pakode ki kasam'. The show ended with the girls in the audience screaming for one hug from the actor with one girl actually breaking down as she wanted to hug him! Watch Ranveer Singh unplugged on "Simi Selects India's Most Desirable", tonight.

I don't want to date an Actor: Anushka Sharma

It was rumored that Anushka Sharma is dating her co-actor Ranveer Singh from Band Baaja Baarat, but the star has been denying the speculations.

When questioned by the host Simi Garewal on the show India’s Most Desirable, Anushka Sharma said that she is more than open to the idea of an arranged marriage.

When asked whether marriage is important to her, Anushka Sharma said: “Absolutely. It is very important. I want to be married and have kids. And when I’m married, I probably do not want to continue working.”

“I would prefer an arranged marriage,” Anushka Sharma confessed.

Anushka Sharma’s mother, Ashima Sharma, said: “I don’t think she will marry a boy from Bollywood. She is not interested in Bollywood types. I think she will go for an arranged marriage only.”


Father Ajay Sharma added, “She has always been insisting and even now says she wants to get married only if its going to be an arranged marriage. She has even asked us to start looking for a suitable groom for her.”

It looks like Anushka Sharma is taking the traditional route and seeking her parents to find the right match for her! We wish the star all the best and look forward to her finding her Mr. Right!

We could kill each other: Anushka Sharma

After actors such as John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor and Abhay Deol have comfortably opened up, showing their ‘real self’ in the show, Simi Selects India’s Most Desirable, this week, it was actor Anushka Sharma’s turn to speak her heart out.

In the show, the actor, who debuted in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, opposite Shah Rukh Khan, claims that she is “not dating” actor Ranveer Singh.


“I like him, he’s attractive but we are very different people. We have a very volatile relationship, we can actually kill each other and I am serious,” she says.

“I can take his head off, he can take mine off, and we are quite like that. Me and Ranveer are quite the opposites. We see life in a very different way. He is a very practical person and I am completely impractical. For me a relationship can’t be frivolous; I need to be with a man, who can calm me down if need be. Else, it would not be a good relationship,” says the actor.

Adding that she thinks that they are both not ready to be in a relationship right now. “I think Ranveer is not ready to be in a relationship right now, I’m definitely not,” says Anushka.

On being asked if marriage is important to her she says, “Absolutely. It’s very important. I want to be married and have kids, and when I’m married I probably do not want to be working.”

So, when question if she like to go for an arranged marriage? “Yes, I would prefer that,” concluded the actor.

Boys used to call me SODA: Anushka Sharma

Simi Garewal's show is always in news for some reason or the other.

Simi's show 'Simi Selects India's Most Desirable' is being talked about as actors like John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor and Abhay Deol have confronted about their real selves and personal relations.

This week's episode has Bollywood's sexy siren Anushka Sharma as the guest.

Anushka spoke about her school days besides her life and career.

"Boys used to call me SODA in school days," she said. SODA means Serving Officers Daughters Association.

"I miss those days when I had a very protected life that one could get close and bond with other army people that they gradually would become your extended family.


Even today I could be stranded in any part of the country, be it a small city, town or district. I just have to find the closest army cantonments and I'll be at home. When I see an army uniform, I feel so happy," concluded Anushka.

Well we wonder if your 'close friend' Ranveer Singh likes to call you SODA!

Ranveer Singh - the attention seeker

A witness recounts the Band Baaja Baaraat actor's "loud behaviour" during an awards function held in the Canadian city recently.

He is known as Bollywood's attention-seeker, and Ranveer Singh makes no bones about it either. However, Singh's antics at a recently-concluded awards function in Toronto made heads turn.

Apparently, the actor was all over the place, interacting only with those who could make a difference to his career, say sources. The actor, who is just one film old, was seen vying for Karan Johar's attention. An actor who was witness to Singh's "loud behaviour" says, "Ranveer was constantly trying to create a tamasha in Toronto. He would either lunge towards people for a hug or a fall at their feet, depending on their seniority. This was done more in the spirit of exhibitionism than reverence. Mujhe dekh - that was the invisible logo on his T-shirt."

Apparently, Singh is sold on doing a film for Johar's Dharma Productions (but then, who isn't?). And, if sources are to be believed, Johar intends to cast the over-exuberant actor.

Says the witness, "In Toronto, Ranveer was trying to prove how close he is to Karan. Every time he saw Karan, he would rush and make audible statements about working together. It was quite embarrassing to be around him. A bit of subtlety would have been nice." "Even when he was sitting in the audience while the awards ceremony was on, Singh made sure people noticed him. He was acting the part of a go-getter all through."

We tried getting Singh's version of the flamboyant opera, but the actor didn't respond to calls and SMSes.

Anushka and Ranveer - fighter cocks or love birds?

The constant fights between rumoured couple —actors Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh are apparently getting serious.

“Yes, we fight a lot and we make up like any other good friend,” said Singh ata film award function in Toronto. Sources now insist that Singh and Sharma might take a break from each other’s company after things got a little too heated up during rehearsals at awards function,where Singh performed with actress Sonakshi Sinha.

It is not sure whether they fought over Singh showering excessive attention on Sinha,but he has apparently been telling his filmi friends that he won’t be signing any movie with Sharma soon.

“Anushka is a lovely girl, but as of now I have no time for a girlfriend. My career has just taken off and I am too self-absorbed,” Singh apparently said when asked about his relationship with Sharma.

It is learned that the small little trips that the couple used to make together are also coming to a halt.

“Anushka has delivered back-to-back hits immediately after her debut with actor Shah Rukh Khan. She has never had a flop since and is shooting back-to-back this year. Ranveer, on the other hand, has not been able to bag a film other than the ones that he had already signed during the making of Band Baaja Baarat. We don’t know if the distance and huge difference in success are contributing to the problems,” adds a source.

Anushka and Ranveer - Hottest couple?

Are they, aren't they? The question everyone is asking is whether Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh are dating. And despite the duo publicly claiming that they are not an item, their actions speak otherwise. Plus, we have Vivek Oberoi to thank as well for throwing some light on their current status.

On Friday evening, the duo flew in to Hyderabad together to dance at Mallika and Siddharth's sangeet. But spotting the shutterbugs at the airport, the couple took refuge in the lounge for the longest time possible in a bid to evade them. But realizing there was no way out, Anushka and Ranveer decided to take an alternate exit — via the international arrivals. But the shutterbugs spotted them and began clicking pictures. That's when Ranveer got all protective of his lady, shielding her from the cameramen. Anushka, on her part, tried hard not to be pictured with Ranveer.

Meanwhile at the sangeet, Vivek Oberoi did the needful by announcing to all present that Anushka and Ranveer are "the hottest, dynamic and most happening couple in Bollywood right now." Oops!

Ranbir pissed with Ranveer

Ranbir Kapoor, who has the house to himself, threw a party for his friends from the industry a few days ago.

His parents Neetu and Rishi Kapoor are travelling and RK Junior has been living it up big time. When there's a party in Bollywood, there's no fun unless there are some shindigs or shenanigans. That's exactly what happened at Ranbir's, says a source.

Apparently Anushka Sharma, Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and a few others were dancing the night away; when a slightly tipsy Ranveer suggested to Ranbir that he should play the remixed version of Dum Maaro Dum with Deepika Padukone in it for the umpteenth time. "What's more Ranveer apparently started discussing Deepika at length telling Ranbir that Dippy was the hottest girl he dated," says our source. "Ranveer who is usually very loud and crass even went a step ahead and added that the line in the Dum Maro Dum song, Pant Khichega Ki Nahi... was intended at RK Junior. Naturally Ranbir wasn't one bit amused. And he made his displeasure evident by asking Ranveer to shut up. Even Anushka asked her Band Baaja Baraat co-star to shut his mouth. But Ranveer wouldn't listen."

The party ended, alcohol levels came down and everyone went their respective ways. However, there is stress between Ranveer and Ranbir, says one of the guests.

Chances are Ranveer may not end up partying with RK Jr for a long time. Unless, of course, Ranveer learns to keep his tongue in check the next time around.

Anushka Sharma in a bikini

Say goodbye to the sweet girl-next-door and get ready for a scorching seductress, as Anushka Sharma is gearing up to set the screens ablaze in her next film with Ranveer Singh.

Out of her Punjabi patialas, she's jumping right into a sexy lil bikini! The last time we saw her in an almost two piece in Badmaash Company, but we heard this time around she wants to go ultra glam (if not size zero), and the gal is toning up to flaunt the perfect bikini bod.

Well, we're okay with that Anushka, and we love the patialas to bikini makeover, as long as you strut the right stuff. The real talent, we mean. Uh-huh...and what were you thinking, lovelies?

When Ranveer met Saif !!

Ranveer Singh, who has the title of drama king in industry circles because he is so melodramatic when he meets stars/filmmakers, continues with his antics.

He has told the world that he likes Kareena Kapoor; and she's the one he idolised during puberty. What comes as a surprise though is that Ranveer actually broke into a song when he spotted Saif Ali Khan at his gymnasium.

Apparently, Ranveer told Saif about this particular song in his film Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl and then he went on to sing it and even did a little jig in front of the Junior Nawab of Pataudi. Saif, of course, applauded the young actor. It is not everyday that cool as a cucumber Saif bumps into the extra enthusiastic types like Ranveer.

Anushka talks of a karmic connection with Ranveer

Anushka Sharma, whose riding high on the success of her latest hit Band Baaja Baraat, has no friend in the industry except her co-star from the film Ranveer Singh. The actress who is rumoured to be dating Ranveer feels a karmic connection with him.

Anushka insisted on Ranveer being just her friend. "Ranveer is genuinely a friend that I have in the industry. We have had a similar journey in the industry. We are great friends, we hang out, we have coffee together, we got out for dinners and we have common friends," the pretty actress said.

But she does feel a 'karmic' connection with the actor. "We have some karmic connection but it's totally platonic. He continues to be my friend and that's about it," stated Anushka.

Anushka doesn't have too many friends from the industry. "Friendship is a very big thing. I don't have that with anybody except Ranveer. Friendship happens with like minded people. I have five friends in Mumbai out of which only two are from the industry (Maneesh Singh and Ranveer)," the actress said.

Let's see where this karmic connect will take the duo!

Rocking Chemistry between Anushka and Ranveer

After wooing the audience with their performances in Band Baaja Baaraat, the hottest onscreen couple Ranveer Singh - Anushka Sharma are once again coming together with “Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl”.

We have seen their rocking chemistry many times. And in a recent interview with a magazine Anushka talked about her love – hate relationship and said, “I don’t fight with anyone as much as I fight with him. Strangely life keeps throwing us together all the time, from being in films to performing at award functions... I feel very protective about him and I am sure he feels that way about me”.

Denying the rumours about them going around, Anushka preferred to put it very differently, she said that yes we have a relationship outside of work, we do meet up regularly for dinners, watching films, etc, however we are different as people, and the chemistry you see on screen are our efforts.

We hope you guys soon see the chemistry which is visible to everyone except you.

Anushka finds Ranveer hotter than Ranbir

Though she is just a few films old, Anushka Sharma has already had a good share of controversies.

After being linked up to her Band Baaja Baarat co-star Ranveer Singh, it was recently reported that Anushka is romantically involved with Ranbir Singh. And while the actress denied all reports of her love affair with either Ranveer or Ranbir, her recent candid confession says it all.

At a recent interview, Anushka was posed with a rather tricky question. She was asked to choose the hotter dude between Ranveer and Ranbir. Without taking any time to give the question a thought, Anushka said, "Ranveer Singh. He is definitely hotter than Ranbir Kapoor."

Though we are unsure if our female readers will agree or disagree with Anushka, we see her statement pointing towards the fact that reports of her growing closeness and fondness for Ranveer are not completely baseless.

Ranveer romances 4 hotties in Ladies Vs..

Ranveer Singh, who as Bittu in Band Baaja Baraat, had run miles away from love is now running headlong towards it. The unlikely hero of Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl is a con guy who plays the love game to perfection till he meets his match in Anushka Sharma. Prod him to confess and Ranveer
admits, “Yes, I’ve had my player phases in life too.”

And was he ever caught? “No… Never! The trick is to move forward without fear,” he laughs, adding that he was immediately excited by Adi sir’s (writer-producer Aditya Chopra) narration because the role offers him a chance to display his range as an actor.

It also gives him an opportunity to romance four lovely ladies, Anushka Sharma, Dipannita Sharma, Aditi Sharma and Parineeti Chopra. “Yeah well, but it’s all make believe,” sighs Ranveer. Even with Anushka, his once good friend? “Anushka is still a friend,” he asserts. “We speak often and when she’s required on the sets, we meet too. But ever since I started prep work on this film, it’s been all work.”

If the buzz is to be believed, his overnight success has gone to Ranveer’s head and recently, when Band Baaja Baraat premiered on television, both Anushka and he refused to promote it. “That’s not true. We spent a whole day shooting the promos. I was thrilled about the TV premiere and the simultaneous DVD and Blu-Ray release. It meant that five times more people will be watching my film. I had no reason to act difficult,” he exclaims.

In Bunty Aur Babli, also a Yash Raj production, Abhishek Bachchan played a con man too. Is Ricky anything like Bunty? “The only thing that is common between them is that both are con guys. Bunty Aur Babli is almost a cult film. Even today, whenever it comes on TV, I sit down to watch it. The director, Shaad Ali, is one of my closest friends and when the film was announced, we celebrated by not cutting a cake, but a biryani. That first-cut is special and I remember making it,” he says.

Ranveer turns conman in Ladies Vs...

After the grand success of his directorial debut Band Baaja Baaraat, director Maneesh Sharma has teamed up again with Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma for Ladies vs Ricky Bahl and says the script demanded their presence.
"They were cast on the basis of script, not because we have worked together. They though... I thought that these characters are very interesting, very different from Bittu and Shruti and it is exciting for actors to do different things. We are all excited about the script and the new world that hopefully we will create," Maneesh told.
The film is going on floor this month.

"Most of the Band Baaja Baaraat members are back in the film. Along with the producer (Aditya Chopra), the music director (Salim-Suleiman), I am again working with almost the same crew I worked in Band Baaja Baaraat," said Sharma.

Giving a sneak peak into the film's story, he said: "Can't say much about the film, but Ranveer is playing a conman. He finds the match in Anushka. The genre, the flavour, the character are nothing close to Band Baaja Baaraat, which is also very exciting. It's a different world."
Sharma says he was not involved in the writing part of the script.

"It's Adi's (Aditya Chopra) story, Devika (Bhagat) has written the screenplay and Habib (Faizal) has written the dialogue. I am not involved in the writing of the film at all," he said.
Asked if he finds himself burdened with expectation, he said: "I don't deny the fact that there would be lots of expectations from me after the success of Band Baaja Baaraat. But while making another film, I cannot think about that. I have to be as original, as honest as Band Baaja Baaraat, so I will try and avoid thinking about expectations."

Ranveer-Anushka to recreate magic

Yash Raj's discovery and Band Baja Baarat heartthrob Ranveer Singh was seen riding a cool bike on roads of Delhi with a cool female companion.

The onlookers got curious considering, the girl was not Ranveer's alleged girlfriend Anushka Sharma.

It was later found out that Ranveer was shooting for his forthcoming film LADIES V/S RICKY BAHL with debutante co-star Parineeti Chopra who happens to be the cousin of Priyanka Chopra.

Sources close to the film revealed, "Ranveer plays Ricky Bahl who is a conman in the film. The shoot had him take one of his victims for a ride so you saw Ranveer with Parineeti. The two had a blast together. It was Parineeti's first film shoot and the first day shoot of the film as well. "

Parineeti who has been getting lots of good luck wishes from her friends for her first film was heard saying, "Thank you for all the wishes guys! I hope I do a good job. It feels weird but exciting to be an actor now!"

LADIES V/S RICKY BAHL is a fun-filled "ROM-CON" where a smooth and charming conman, Ricky Bahl, cons girls for a living but finally meets his match.

Produced by Aditya Chopra and Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the film stars Anushka Sharma in the lead role, along with Dipannita Sharma and Aditi Sharma.

Tamannah Bhatia in another Hindi remake

Guess who will play the role of Shruti Kakkar (originally played by Anushka Sharma)? Tamannaah!

'Band Baaja Baaraat' narrates the story of Shruti Kakkar, a 20-something no-nonsense girl from a middle class Delhi household. Focused and determined with preplanned ambitions, her goals in life are well laid out by the time she reaches her final year of college. Bittoo, on the other hand, has no real aim in life. As a final year college student of Delhi University, he whiles away his life having fun with his buddies, barely scraping through his exams. A chance and inopportune meeting (or as you would call it, fate) brings the two of them together on a tumultuous journey where they become partners in their very own, "Wedding planning ka bijness".

Ranveer & Anushka to recreate the magic?

Ranveer Singh is in Delhi these days, and is busy shooting for his next, which is a Yash Raj Films venture.

We caught the young lad as he was busy doing a day's work, with the same team that made his debut, "Band Baaja Baaraat" , a hit. This film is called "Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl" , we were told, and Ranveer plays a charming con artiste who fools women for a living till he falls in love. Interestingly, his love interest is also the same as in "BBB" — Anushka Sharma. So, will director Maneesh Sharma (yes, he's helming this film too) help the hit jodi work its magic again?

We saw Ranveer enacting a few scenes at Barakhamba Road in Delhi, alternating between listening keenly to the technical team as they explained the shots and reading up on his dialogues
