Aamir lost his way in Patna

Aamir Khan travelled to Bihar to promote the second season of his upcoming issue-based show, 'Satyamev Jayate'.

However, on his way from Patna, to Gehlaur in Gaya, he took the wrong road and travelled in the opposite direction for quite a while. Soon a quick U-turn was taken. I am guessing this is a new experience for Aamir, who might walk the untrodden path once in a while, but never the one to take unknown ones.

However, the effort seemed worth it, as when he reached the spot where 'Mountain Man' Dashrath Manjhi spent 22 years of his life to make a road through a mountain for the villagers, there was already a sea of people gathered to get a glimpse of the actor.

Bravo Act: Sunny shoots in a snake filled lake

Ragini MMS-2, the forthcoming horror-erotica film, contains a horror-packed scene shot inside a lake. In fact, there is even a fleeting shot of the said scene in the film's trailer.

It appears at the point when Sunny's co-star follows her to a lake hoping to make love to her.

The lake was in Vasai on the outskirts of Mumbai, in a scary and quiet location. The said scene had to be shot at midnight when the water was cold, so as to get the desired effect. Sunny had to dip into the water to give her best shot but was petrified because the lake was quite a walk from her vanity van. There was also talk of water snakes.


The scene took an entire night to shoot and Sunny fell ill the following day and developed a minor skin allergy.

`I saw dead fish. The water was dirty,` said Sunny. `I was scared as hell,` she added.

Sonakshi's artistic inclination

A little over three years old in the film industry, Sonakshi Sinha has already proved her acting chops.

But very few people know that she is an artist too. She tells us, `Since childhood, I have always enjoyed sketching and drawing. Even now, if I have a pen in my hand, I will start doodling instinctively.

At a recent art event, I just came up with a rough sketch of a girl, which was mistaken for a self-portrait (laughs).

While shooting for Dabangg, I would see Salman (Khan) paint. He gave me a few tips on drawing and even taught me a bit about charcoal painting.

I have not yet been able to put that knowledge to use though.`
