Action and stunts can be directly associated with Akshay 'Khiladi' Kumar. Hence, it comes as no surprise that the actor made a stunning entry on a bike, shattering glass at the launch of Viacom 18's new channel- Colors.

The event which took place in Bangkok saw the Bollywood star in attendance as his show Fear Factor- Khatron Ke Khiladi will be aired on this very new channel. The actor even publicly expressed what the emotion 'Fear' meant when he pulled out a python from beneath one of the tables all of a sudden, much to the shock of all those present.

Apart from Akshay, the show will be an all girls show with 13 top beauties from the world of fashion and Bollywood competing with each other. And for all of you waiting with bated breath to find out who are the lovely ladies on the show, well here's the list- Yana Gupta, Aditi Govitrikar, Pooja Bedi, Sonali Kulkarni, Tupur Chatterjee, Sayali Bhagat, Nethra Raghuraman, Anjana Sukhani, Dippanita Sharma, Payal Rohatgi and Meghna Naidu.

Shooting for the show is scheduled to take place in South Africa towards the end of this month (May). Must say with so many beauties around, Bollywood's Khiladi- Akshay Kumar will surely have the time of his life shooting for Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi.

Neetu Chandra is amused that Celina Jaitley has claimed that she was forced to walk out of debutante Gary Grewal's tentatively titled Khusarprasad Ka Bhoot. That's because she has been always led to believe that once she was penciled in, there was no other alternative thought around by the makers.

"See, I have always maintained that I am here to do some good work. I have never got into 'yeh mera role tha, yeh role usko chala gaya' stuff; I don't intend to either. I believe there is good work for everyone around and there is no point about getting insecure", philosophizes Neetu.

So what exactly is the story behind the lead heroine part in Khusarprasad Ka Bhoot? Was she actually roped in only after producers had some problems with Celina Jaitley? "I don't know if Gary or Robby had any problems with Celina neither am I interested to know. When a film's cast is being decided, makers are bound to have a few names in mind. There could have been 3-4 names for my part as well and I don't see any problem in that", reasons Neetu.

"What I know for sure is that once I was roped in, the makers were committed to have me on. In between all this, I don't know why someone else should have a problem or claim that she was the first choice", says Neetu with a shrug.

On her part in the film, one hears that Neetu comes across as a razor-sharp girl in the film. So how is her look considering she has donned a different attire for each of her released films so far - Garam Masala (Western), Traffic Signal (Kathiawadi) and One Two Three (Cop uniform)?

Winks Neetu, "In this satire which primarily boasts of a make dominated star cast comprising of Paresh Rawal, Randeep Hooda and Govind Namdeo, since I am the only female element, my look has to be special. Keep guessing, this should well be the surprise element of the film."

Shooting of Khusarprasad Ka Bhoot is currently in the sweltering heat of Bhopal. An unlikely candidate for a film shoot location, Bhopal caught the eye of it's makers as it fit in perfectly well with the mood of the script which is satirical in nature and questions the society in large, though in a comic vein.

This weekend, Shah Rukh Khan will rub shoulders and share kisses with the Bidaai sisters, Sara Khan (Sadhna) and Parul Chauhan (Ragini) on Star Plus' Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hai?.

The actresses, who star in the popular soap on Star Plus, are still recovering from their exciting experience.

"It was a wonderful experience for me," Parul says. "I still remember the day when the executive producer of the show asked me if I was willing to participate in the contest. Without thinking too much, Sarah and I agreed. Only then did it strike me that we would share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan!"Parul has always been a big SRK fan, right from his Circus days.

"My family was surprised that I was such a big fan of a small telestar. I would always tell them that he would become a big star! And when he became the badshah of Bollywood, I stood vindicated!" she exclaims.

Needless to say it was quite an experience for her when she shook hands with SRK on the sets.

"I felt like the world had stopped revolving and everything was focused on us," Parul gushes. "He asked me about my reel life role and even commented on my complexion." The actress is deliberately using make-up to look darker in Bidaai, as per the script demands.

"Shah Rukh noticed my real skin colour and complimented me," she says. Both actresses appeared in their Bidaai get-up for Paanchvi Pass.

"We rehearsed together in his make-up room and then played the game," Parul explains. "We even danced together to the Bidaai song."

Shah Rukh even allowed the two girls to peck him on his cheek.

Shah Rukh Khan has finally found his heroine in Aditya Chopra's [Images] Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. And it's Bangalore girl Anushka Sharma.

Is this the same Anushka Sharma?

It's certainly a dream come true for this 19-year-old model to make her debut in a film directed by the man who directed Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Mohabbatein, and produced many more blockbusters.

"We were looking first for someone who could truly embody the spirit of small town Punjab," Yash Chopra [Images] said. "We know we have found her in Anushka. While she has no previous acting experience, we have seen that unique spark in her that makes us confident that she will be a standout even opposite Shah Rukh [Images]."

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi will go on the floors on May 16, and is scheduled to release on December 12.
