If loving Sanju is not right, I'd rather be wrong all life

The woman in the news, Maanayata Dutt, is the guest of First Ladies with Abu-Sandeep on NDTV Good Times. Here are some bits of the conversation that will be featured in tonight's episode...

On the book she's writing on Sanjay ... "I will title it Roar of the Lion."

Relating to Sanjay as an actor....: The day I start relating to Sanjay Dutt as an actor, I don't think my marriage will work. I relate to him as a person. Ki subah uthke mujhe autograph nahin lena hai, nashta banana hai"

About his films: "I was never a Sanjay Dutt fan."

On her childhood: "I was born in Pali Hill, Bandra. My parents split when I was a kid, so I have been living in bits and pieces with both my parents. I am an optimistic person, I took it positively and decided that when I get married I am going to make it work.

The first meeting: "We met nine years ago, for six years we were friends and we were seeing each other only for the past three years but nine years is along enough time to know someone enough to know that you want to be with them forever.

The Goa marriage: "We didn't go to Goa to get married; we were already there shooting for Kidnap. Sanju was always an impulsive person, especially when you look at his second marriage. So on February 14 he just woke up and got married in a temple at 4 am.

We had wanted to get married for quite some time but there were legal settlements pending with respect to his second wife. So those were settled on February 6 the lawyers faxed us the papers and Sanju was just celebrating, and he turned around and said let's get married tomorrow.

We didn't know that Goa has a Portuguese law which is very different from Indian law so you can't just get married. And Sanju is a big name, anything he does gets reported."

On Sanju's family not attending the wedding: "Sanjay's sisters were informed but they chose to keep out. Even my family was informed but they stayed away as they weren't happy with the situation but then I told them if loving Sanjay is not right then I would rather be wrong all my life."

On her supposed ex- husband casting all sorts of allegations she asserted , "I would like to clear this and ask: How can they believe a con man that has 365 cases pending on him, almost one case a day?"

Emraan: Scared of kissing

Well believe it or not! The king of hot sultry kisses has admitted that he is scared to kiss when the camera is running. If you are wondering whether Emraan shares any hot kisses with his co-star Kangana in Raaz-2, the answer is no, all the smooch scenes have been taken care of by Adhyayan Suman!

Seems like we have revealed too much there! 'Raaz- The Mystery Continues' is hitting theatres today and it sees Emraan Hashmi, Kangana Ranaut and Adhyayan Suman playing important characters in the film. Emraan portrays the role of an artist, who is also able to foretell Nandita-the heroine's future. Kangana plays the role of a model and Adhyayan plays her lover in this horror film that is sure to bind everyone in their seats till the last minute.

Emraan has revealed that he has always wanted to be part of a horror film and has loved doing his part in 'Raaz-2'. The actor is also reported to have slimed down for his role in this flick but does not find the 6-packs or 8-packs very interesting.

'Raaz-The Mystery Continues' has been directed by Mohit Suri and is a product of Vishesh films. So folks fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a horror ride with the Raaz team into the depths of the paranormal world.

Akshay Kumar bursts into tears

Stunt King Akshay Kumar could not hold his tears when he landed in a dhaba in Paranthewalli galli. He is moved to see his poster along with greats like Indira Gandhi. Unable to hold his feelings, he bursts into tears. He is amazed and full of honor to see how much the people of the area adores him and positioned him so high. 'He couldn't believe it when he saw his photo there. And he cried out of humility. He was very touched,' says director Nikhil Advani.

Chandni Chowk To China was shot extensively in Delhi and therefore making him the king of the place. Though the film failed to create magic like his earlier flicks, he won the heart of the people and became winner. He mingled well with them during the shooting and the film became a hit in that locality.

Chandni Chowk To China was a highly awaited film and as expected it did not fare well at the box office. The film was a massive disaster for Akshay and Deepika. Post the release of the flick, Akki changed his co-star from Deepika to Sonam in his next film titled Come On Pappu.

Lara and Dino taking the 5th

Whether the lovebirds choose to admit it or not, sources close to the couple say that Dino Morea and Lara Dutta are very much in love. However, the duo has decided that they would rather focus on the media paying attention to their careers rather than their relationship and has chosen to take the 5th amendment (refusal to answer a question).

Rumors were also afloat that the couple had moved in together which the same source quickly denied. Apparently, while they do spend a lot of time together, they do not live together. While Lara stays at her apartment, Dino lives in bungalow in the nearby vicinity. The couple both have a history of heartbreaks in their personal life and are not interested in history repeating itself; thus the low profile.

For the record, Dino Morea and Lara’s ex-beau Kelly Dorji were best friends. After Lara and Kelly’s breakup, she turned to Dino as a shoulder to cry on. The shoulder proved to do wonders, and ever since the love story began. They have since been seen out and about on the social circuit and even traveling the world together.

We do hope the couple decide to accept (or finally deny) their relationship. All this speculation is getting rather boring!

Ghajini vs. Ghajini

Expectations, expectations and more expectations. Every movie has its fair share of it. Some less and some more. Regardless, it always seems to be a reason behind a film's success. If it exceeds or meets expectations they say its a success, and if it falls below then a failure.

For Ghajini these very expectations came in all shapes and sizes. First and foremost, thanks to Aamir Khan. How can a project not have sky high expectations when associated with it is the acclaimed perfectionist of Indian cinema. Secondly, being the remake of a hit and acclaimed Tamil film, Ghajini was already expected to win the hearts of audiences. Lastly, the leading lady and director remained the same in this counterpart, so naturally it was expected that they would combine the same successful ingredients this time around with Aamir Khan to deliver yet another masterpiece. Did they succeed or does the original remain the one and only masterpiece? Read on to find out…
