Bipasha on being accused of child labour

Hi-Fi (Hindi Film Industry) damsel Bipasha Basu landed herself in a big trouble when she posted a picture of two children tying her shoelaces and tweeted, "I need to learn to tie shoe laces ASAP! Embarrassed that I can't! No patience grrrrr! Promise I am not spoilt! Will learn soon."


This news spread like a fire and people started accusing the actor of child labour. "Bipasha should be arrested for this act. Only then these film studios will not do any child labour," posted a follower. Another tweet read, "Disgraceful Bips - cannot believe you are dumb enough to add this photo on Twitter!"
Bips later deleted the picture and justified the act by saying, "Well the ppl helping me in the pix r my friend n sister, Who I help often with the same! So am sorry if it hurt anyones sentiments! (sic)"


But her fans didn't buy this explanation. In the deleted tweet she confessed she doesn't know how to tie laces and in her explanation she stated she does the same (tie laces) for the children in the pic.


Bipasha was in the capital for an event. When quizzed about the twitter controversy, she stated, "I think you should read my post on twitter. It's not child labour, that's all I can say."

'I never held grudges against anybody': Actor Katrina Kaif speaks on her relief at being given the clean chit post the income tax raids

"Yes, I am relieved," says actor Katrina Kaif, as she slumps down on the couch for a chat in her hotel suite after a hectic day in the capital. Referring to the income tax raids, she says, "I have been given a clean chit (by the IT department) and I am really happy about it. I have never held any grudges against anybody. I know that they (income tax officers) were just doing their jobs," says Katrina, playing with her hair.

After maintaining a stoic silence about it, Katrina finally reveals that her younger sister Isabelle is planning to make her Hi-Fi (Hindi Film Industry) debut soon. Ask her if she's ready to help little sister land a film with herself and she shoots back, "With me? I hope not. On her own… Yes, she is considering something. I don't want her to be pushed into anything but I feel that the time has come for her to be a little serious in life," says the concerned elder sister, admitting that Isabelle can act like a spoilt brat at times. "She (Isabelle) is completely spoilt. That's why I tell her to do the usual rounds (seeking opportunities from filmmakers as a newcomer, without her help) anyway," adds Katrina.

Though Katrina is not active on any of the social networking sites, she doesn't rule out joining the Twitter bandwagon. "I never say 'never'. I am very active on the Internet, but I am not on social networking sites. I know that I'm one of the most searched names on Google (last year she topped Google's top-searched people's list)," says the actor, set to judge an online dance competition for Etihad Airways on Facebook soon.

Always open to experimenting with career options, Katrina reveals she could even take up directing an ad film someday. "I don't think I am ready to make a feature film yet but an ad film? Definitely! There are so many things that I want to do and so many visuals that I would want to create. And making an ad film seems to be an ideal proposition," she smiles.
