Where are the cat fights?

Guess who's actor Shilpa Shetty's new fan? Well, believe it or not, it is actor Katrina Kaif. Kat recently said that according to her, nobody in contemporary Hi-Fi (Hindi Film Industry) can beat Shilpa when it comes to dancing. The actor was recently fielding questions about who she thought was the best dancer in Hi-Fi. She replied, "In my opinion, Shilpa Shetty is the best dancer in Hi-Fi and when it comes to the heroes, I think it is undoubtedly Hrithik Roshan."

Later Katrina said that she's no match for Shilpa who, she says, can match any step that is given to her by the choreographer. "I don't consider myself a great dancer. I am okay (as a dancer). But if you ask me who's the greatest dancer in Hi-Fi then it has to be Helen aunty. She is extremely versatile and whenever I watch her dance I want the time to freeze," says Katrina.

Shilpa apparently even texted Katrina thanking her for her compliments. However, Shilpa has reserved her best compliments for actors Priyanka Chopra and R Madhavan. Never mind the poor box office verdict for PC's latest release, Shilpa recently saw the film and felt that PC has excelled in all departments. "Watched 7 Khoon Maaf last night. Well directed. Priyanka Chopra rocked. (It was) really complex role but you (Priyanka) did a great job effortlessly. You go girl. All the best," Shilpa tweeted.

However, actor Kangna Ranaut never found a mention when Shilpa tweeted about another recent release in which she stars. In her tweet Shilpa only mentions R Madhavan and the director. "She doesn't know Kangana that well. Maybe that is why she didn't mention her in her tweet," says a friend of Shilpa. But is it because of the cold vibes the two actors shared recently where Kangna didn't even come up and say a 'hi' to Shilpa? Well, no one can know for sure…

"I find myself drawn to dark roles", says actor Neil Nitin Mukesh

Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh may be extremely choosy when it comes to picking up roles, but the young star insists that he's never afraid to experiment. "I like to surprise both the audiences and myself as an actor," he explains, adding, "I don't see myself ever doing the run-of-the-mill stuff or roles that are easily predictable." That also explains why despite his chocolate-boy looks, Neil is yet to play the conventional romantic hero on the big screen - a genre that he's consciously tried to avoid so far. "When I stepped into Hi-Fi (Hindi Film Industry), playing the romantic hero was the easiest thing to do and also what everyone expected of me given my looks. In fact, those are the roles I was offered the most too, but I didn't want to take the easy way into Hi-Fi and waited until Johnny Gadar came along. Since then, every film has been an experiment in itself," says Neil, whose next two onscreen outings too see him play rather unconventional roles. "Yes, being killed by your wife is pretty unconventional here," he says referring to his upcoming Vishal Bhardwaj film with Priyanka Chopra. "To be honest, I find myself drawn to dark roles. 


I find realism more challenging to depict on screen. As an actor that's more interesting too," adds Neil. Talking about playing Priyanka's husband, he says that working with both - Priyanka and Bhardwaj - is a sheer delight. "There's no other director who could've helmed it better than Vishal or an actor who could've pulled off the role like Priyanka has. She's such a live-wire on sets. And working with Vishal is definitely a dream come true," shares Neil.

Though the actor is currently shooting for an action thriller, Neil says that comedy is one genre that he's really looking forward to doing. "I'd pick comedy over a romantic role any day too," he says. "But I'm not really a slap-stick humour kind of person. What I'd really like to do is a situational comedy. But I think that in this too, a dark comedy would be just perfect," he smiles.
