Deepika Padukone: Celebrities don't lead a fake life

Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has rejected suggestions that celebrities, including those from the world of cinema, lead a "fake" life.

She made the remark in the context of her upcoming film 'Tamasha', where she is paired opposite actor Ranbir Kapoor. The trailer of the Imtiaz Ali-directed film, which was released today, shows Ranbir depicting a fake side of his character.

Asked if celebrities' life is all sham, Deepika said, "I don't think it is fake. We have certain responsibilities towards the youth as role models so we have to be careful with what we say or do. We can live the life the way we want but with the right balance towards fulfilling our responsibility."

The 29-year-old actress said the credit for her on-screen chemistry with actors Ranbir and Ranveer Singh goes to her directors and the roles written for them.

"It depends on the kind of film and role we do. Also, it is in the hands of the director to extract performance from us.

"There is a difference between the chemistry of Ranbir and me in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' to that between me and Ranveer Singh in 'Ram Leela'," she maintained.

The 'Cocktail' actress insisted she doesn't want to do films with ex-boyfriend Ranbir just for the heck of it.

"We just don't want to come together for the heck of it. We have done films before and they have done well because they were good films. We want the (prospective) film to be special for us to come together," Deepika said.

I do have a lot of vitamin and iron-rich food and drink a lot of water. I prefer having vegetarian food. It is a way to healthy life," Alia told PTI in an interview here.

"I try to wash my face as often as I can due to pollution or the kind of make up and all that we have to do.

Besides this eating right kind of food is essential," the "Two States" actress said.

Manasvi Mamgai is not the office hottie in 'Katti Batti'

Action Jackson actress Manasvi Mamgai is furious after her name cropped up online and in several reviews about her cleavage act in the recent release, Katti Batti.

The actress is not a part of the film. Nicole Faria, who has done a cameo in the film as an office hottie, was mistaken for Manasvi.

As both are beauty pageant winners, it probably led to the confusion.

Shah Rukh Khan's kids are his love gurus

The 49-year-old "Chennai Express" star, who married Gauri in 1991, has three kids - Aryan, Suhana and AbRam.

Les Dawson's daughter Charlotte nearly reveals EVERYTHING as she goes commando in split dress

Charlotte Dawson narrowly avoided an awkward wardrobe malfunction after stepping out in a VERY revealing dress on Friday night.

Les Dawson's daughter left very little to the imagination as she went commando at the Manchester Evening News Diary Party this week.

Stunning in a flowing orange gown, the raven-haired beauty showed a LOT of flesh with her outfit split high beyond the top of her legs.

Charlotte didn't seem phased by the amount she was flashing to onlookers, smiling for cameras as she posed for snaps at the Lowry Hotel.

Although the material kept her torso covered, the star wasn't far off flashing her birthday suit in the flowing dress.

Other stars at the bash included Rhian Suden, Bez and Karen Danczuk.

Meanwhile, Charlotte and mum Tracy paid tribute to late comedian Les as they published his best material last year – including a seemingly endless supply of mother-in-law jokes – in a new book.

She said at the time: “I can see why people love him so much after all these years. His humour is timeless.”

Game of Thrones breaks Emmy record with 12 wins

Game of Thrones picked up a record-breaking 12 awards, including best drama series at this year's Emmys in Los Angeles.

Viola Davis also made history by becoming the first black woman to win the best lead actress prize for her role in How To Get Away With Murder.

Jon Hamm finally won a best actor award for Mad Men in the show's last year. He had been nominated seven times before.

Political comedy Veep was the winner in the best comedy series category.
And Inside Amy Schumer was named best variety sketch series.

It was the first time since it began in 2011 that Game of Thrones had won the best drama series award. Its other accolades included best writing, best direction and best supporting actor for Peter Dinklage, who plays Tyrion Lannister.

Amazon's comedy-drama Transparent won awards for best director in a comedy and for its lead actor, JeffreyTambor, who plays a transgender college professor.

The show also picked up best guest actor in a comedy for former West Wing star Bradley Whitford.

Viola Davis won her Emmy for lead actress in a drama thanks to her role as a tough criminal defence lawyer in ABC's How to Get Away With Murder.

Accepting her award, she said: "The only thing that separates women of colour from anyone else is opportunity.

Jon Hamm, who played Don Draper in the drama Mad Men, set in an advertising agency primarily in the 1960s, said: "It's incredible and impossible for me personally to be standing here."

Julia Louis-Dreyfus won best comedy actress for the fourth time for playing Selina Meyer on Veep, while Tony Hale, who plays her bag man, was again named best comedy supporting actor.

Veep, which is set in the office of the fictional vice-president and subsequent president of the United States, Selina Meyer, also won the comedy writing statuette.

The show's win for best comedy ended a fiver-year winning streak for sitcom Modern Family - dashing the cast's hopes of beating Frasier, which also has five wins in the category.
Uzo Aduba, who plays Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' Warren in Netflix prison series Orange is the New Black, was named best supporting actress in a drama.

The TV Academy awarded only four prizes to the main US broadcast networks. But while the pre-awards talk had revolved around streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon, it was cable channel HBO that swept the board, with shows like Veep, Game of Thrones and Olive Kitteridge performing well.

The latter picked up six awards, including best mini-series, best lead actor in a mini-series or movie (Richard Jenkins), lead actress (Frances McDormand) and supporting actor (Bill Murray).
Andy Samberg hosted the show, his first time at the helm of a major awards ceremony.

Variety's Brian Lowry wasn't overly impressed with Samberg's debut: "What mostly came across, gradually, was that Samberg's approach just didn't wear especially well. He plays better in bite-sized bits, and his sprightly setup/joke rhythms yielded diminishing returns over the course of the evening."

But USA Today reviewer Robert Bianco was a little more effusive.

"For most viewers, the show only works if the host works, and Samberg did just fine. Like all modern awards show hosts, he did throw a few jabs at some of the folks in the room, but they were generally mild, which is what the job requires."
