The marriage will take place on November 14 in Kochi, say circles close to the actress. Besides ‘Nala Dhamayanthi’, Geethu has done one more film in Tamil- K Balachandar’s ‘Poi’, produced by Prakash Raj.

Geethu and Ravi are in love with each other for the last five years, it is said. The affair was dubbed as “intellectual love” by the Malayalam media and Ravi is her friend, philosopher and guide for a long time now.

It is to be noted that only last month Geethu premiered her debut directorial venture ‘Kelkunundo’, whose cameraman was beyond any doubt Ravi. Grapevine has it that Geethu would direct a Hindi movie post marriage.

However the actress seems to have bid goodbye to her onscreen image so far. At least that is what sources claim.

There is a rumor that she is appearing in a bikini in one of her Tamil movies currently under production. The shooting seems to have happened at Langkawi beach in Malaysia.

However, sources close to Sneha have denied this and quashed the buzz as just a piece of rumor. But many say that watching Sneha in such a steamy outfit will surely drive them crazy.

Well let us wait and see how Sneha is received in her new avatar if she takes it up anytime in the future.

Padmapriya is unbelievably happy ever since she was given the Tamil Nadu state award for Best Actress for Tamil film Mirugam. She was happy she did that role and believes that she does movies because acting is her passion and she loves it. She feels she is still living the character of Nadeera from one of her Tamil films, Pokkisham.

In Pazhassi Raja, the most eagerly awaited film in Malayalam in recent times, Tamil actress Kaniha plays a queen named Kaitheri Makkam.

Kaniha, the heroine of one of the biggest hits of the year Bhagyadevatha, is on a roll and has every reason to feel elated.

In this exclusive interview, the engineer-turned actor of such films in Tamil as Autograph and Five Star says that she is absolutely thrilled about Pazhassi Raja which is releasing on October 2.

How excited are you about the release of Pazhassi Raja?

I have never been so anxious for any film before. I am looking forward to watching Pazhassi Raja in a theatre with the public.

I have never been part of such a big film in my life and don’t know if an opportunity like this will ever come again! I am confident that the film will find a place in everyone’s heart and I will also be part of Malayalam film history for just being part of this.

WASHINGTON – Padma Lakshmi, former wife of famed author Salman Rushdie and host of popular TV show “Top Chef”, is pregnant with her first child, media reports said.

Lakshmi, 39, has not identified the father, CNN reported Thursday. Her representative told US Weekly that the television personality conceived after a long battle with endometriosis.

“Model, author, and Emmy-nominated Padma Lakshmi confirms that she is carrying her first child after years of struggling with endometriosis, a cause for which she has co-founded the Endometriosis Foundation of America,” the representative told the magazine.

Endometriosis is a medical condition where the uterus’ lining grows in other areas of the body. The often painful condition can cause women to have irregular bleeding and possible infertility.

Lakshmi’s publicist also told US Weekly: “As a result of her condition, this pregnancy has been referred to by her physician as nothing short of a medical miracle, and due to its delicate nature, we ask/implore the press to respect Lakshmi’s privacy at this time.”

Lakshmi has hosted Bravo’s hit show “Top Chef” since its second season and is herself a noted cookbook author.

Not just that, give her any tune, however complicated, and she will effortlessly whistle the tune for you. Apparently in the past, her directors have put her seetee skills to good use. So instead of the hero whistling at her, she whistles at the man. So cool, ain’t it? It’s kinda un-Bollywood like, but who cares, anyways, na? Here’s a seetee to that…Woo-hoo!
