Shah Rukh makes Madhuri blush
Last Wednesday, Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit had a terrific reunion of sorts at Filmistan. The moment Khan saw her on the sets of a dance reality show, he walked up to her, hugged her tight and kissed her hand.
As Madhuri blushed and turned away, Mallaika Arora Khan, SRK's friend-turned-foe Salman Khan's sister-in-law, rushed to meet him too. Their 'intended' air-kiss however ended up looking rather odd. It so happened that SRK was in Filmistan to shoot for RA.One.

Getting inked has been one of Sushmita Sen's fetishes for a while now. And she has now got a brand new tattoo on her left forearm. This one is inscribed in Latin 'Aut Viam inveniam aut faciam', which means 'I'll either find a way or make one.'
Even though she has a range of tattoos, she insists on only one man to put them on her: Sameer Patange. Reportedly, she has three other permanent tattoos on her arms and one on her back. She got her first tattoo on her left wrist, which
