Deepika's lover spotted with another girl, Siddharth Mallya spotted with Sophie

Sidhartha Mallya and Sophie Chaudhry made an entry together at Nandita Mahtani's fashion show? The singer-turned-actress seemed comfortable in the company of the Mallya scion. Of course, girlfriend Deepika Padukone, was many miles away. The actress is in Bhopal shooting for her film Aarakshan but that isn't an excuse for Sid to run free and escort other girls to parties, especially a siren like Sophie who is known to enjoy the company of young boys.

Remember her tryst with Bhushan Kumar and Jackky Bhagnani? Also note that Sid and Sophs were bonding at another party too recently, but Dippy was very much around at that time. Maybe there is nothing to worry about it, and it was just a couple of friends hanging out. Or perhaps the Bangalore lad is tired of his girlfriend denying his existence, and decided to jolt things up a bit. And who better to do it with, than with your buddy of over a decade.

Saif's learning Sanskrit

Saif Ali Khan has got himself a tutor to learn Sanskrit for his next titled Aarakshan.

We hear that the movie that will see Amitabh Bachchan and Saif Ali Khan speaking the ancient rich language, has caught Saif a little off guard. While Amitabh on one hand is very proficient in the language, Saif needs to train himself well to speak the language. He doesn't want to sound unconvincing while mouthing the Sanskrit words and sources also tell us that post shooting, he has been talking a couple of hours to brush up on his Sanskrit skills. Way to go Saif!

Would like to be a journalist in the next life: Amitabh

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan said that he would like to become a journalist in his next life.

"It is not possible in this life, but in my next life I would like to become a journalist," said Bachchan, who is currently shooting for Prakash Jha's film, Aarakshan (reservations) in Bhopal.

When asked what he thought of reservations per se, the 68-year-old actor said he simply mouths the lines provided by the director, and didn't have any personal opinion on the issue.

Praising Bhopal, which happens to be his 'sasural' (in-laws' place), he said that people here were very nice and cooperative.

Director Jha said the film was an effort to show how reservations benefit the weaker sections of the society.

Big B used to be a gate crasher

He might be flying in private jets or executive class with a lot of attention, but there was time when Bollywood's megastar Amitabh Bachchan used to gatecrash at weddings or travel in trains without a ticket.

Big B is in Bhopal shooting for Aarakshan and it seems he is getting nostalgic about his college days.

'We were talking on set about college and university days and how in the hostel, when food was scarce or our pockets had run dry, we would find novel ways of feeding ourselves at times. Look for a wedding, borrow an ill-fitting suit from an affluent colleague and gatecrash the 'baraat' as guests and feed ourselves to our limits best, posing as 'men from the boy's side',' he posted on his blog Bigb.bigadda.com.

'They are the ones that get the most looked after!! They were mad days of our youth and when you look back on them you wonder how on earth did we ever pull those utterly stupid pranks and succeed,' he added.

The 68-year-old megastar, who studied at Allahabad's Jnana Prabodhini and Boys' High School (BHS) followed by Nainital's Sherwood College, before graduating from Delhi University's Kirori Mal College, remembered how he and his friends would board a train without tickets because they didn't have enough money.

'Like paying a visit to our Alma Mater, Sherwood College the very next year of passing out, spending Founder's Week there among colleagues and then finding ourselves out of money, not sufficient to buy back a train ticket to Delhi. So what do you do? You get on to the train from Kathgodam in any case, just as it's pulling out of the station so no one can stop you, cling on to the doors and spend the rest of the journey on the steps outside of the moving compartment until some kind-hearted ticket holder takes pity on your condition and pulls you in to share his berth with you,' he posted.
