In his almost a decade-old Bollywood career, Shahid Kapoor has gone through a lot of personal and professional ups and downs. But despite as many as six back-to-back box office disappointments behind him, he is undeterred because he feels success can do more harm than failure.

“Success can be more dangerous than failure. When you are successful, you feel that you are doing everything right. So, failure can teach you a lot. I just believe in ‘Go out and do your best,’” Shahid told IANS.

After Vishal Bharadwaj’s hit film “Kaminey” in which he featured in a double role opposite Priyanka Chopra, Shahid was seen in “Dil Bole Hadippa!”, “Chance Pe Dance”, “Paathshaala”, “Badmaash Company”, “Milenge Milenge” and “Mausam”. Alas, none of them generated good business.

Now he will once again be seen with Priyanka, his rumoured former girlfriend, in Kunal Kohli’s “Teri Meri Kahaani”. He is hopeful their chemistry will work for the film, which he says is diametrically different from “Kaminey”. More

Those of you who love to talk about Ranveer-Sonakshi affair, here is the update. In a latest interview Sonakshi Sinha has rubbished reports of link-up between her and her current co-actor Ranveer Singh.

In a candid chat, the actress has spoken in detail about the alleged affair between her and Ranveer, which has been doing rounds in the media lately. Talking about the alleged love affair, Sonakshi says, “Ranveer is not my type at all. Such link-up reports affect me at times since I am answerable to my parents. I don’t know why someone would try to misconstrue our professional chemistry.”

While Sonakshi might deny being romantically involved with Ranveer, the actress however holds him in great esteem. Says she, “He’s full of energy, and just the opposite of what I am as an actor. He likes to prepare for his scenes and rehearse a lot; you know what you call method acting. He continues to stay in character even when the camera is switched off. I, on the other hand, hate to rehearse and I switch off with the camera. It makes for an interesting combination and it shows on screen.” More

At a time when everyone is busy splashing colors and water on each other, most of the B-town celebs are not in town, and those who are, are not celebrating.

Bachchan family has a reason to rejoice all the more this Holi, with the new addition to the household, Abhishek and Aishwarya’s daughter; but as Amitabh Bachchan recently underwent an abdominal surgery, the family won’t be playing the festival of colors.

“Lit the `Holika’ at Prateeksha and Jalsa, did the small pooja, a bit of gulal on everyones forehead, and on the feet of elders. So many memories of Holi through the years tomorrow I shall sit by and watch…Unable to play yet. Nothing much at home either for Holi, unlike most years but soon we shall catch up perhaps next year, God willing,” Bachchan said on twitter. More
