Zareen Khan says as a young girl she always wanted to be a singer. Zareen, who recently starred in the hit 'Hate Story 3', hopes in the future people might approach her to sing a song.

"It will sound very cliched but when I was kid I always wanted to be singer and never an actor. Hopefully in the future when these people will think of me (I will do it)," she told reporters in Mumbai.

When asked if she has been offered to sing a song, the 29-year-old actress said, "Not yet. Hopefully, after your question I will be."

Zareen was speaking at the launch of new music video 'Pyaar Manga Hai Tumhee Se' by T-Series. The video also stars Ali Fazal and features the duo sharing sizzling chemistry. According to the 'Veer' actress, shooting intimate scenes are not "fun" as a lot of people are watching them on set.

"When you look at this as an audience it feels different but when you're shooting it, it is not that much fun because there are so many people looking at you. There is a lot going on. What you think of in mind it doesn't happen on set." Ali, too, feels filming intimate scenes are hard as even they follow a set choreography.

"These things have to be choreographed. You can't be just doing anything. Intimate scenes are the hardest thing to shoot. Intimate scenes of any kind." "The most memorable scene was when he kissed me for the first time in the song. He was feeling shy and not me."

The recreated song was originally composed by music maestro Bappi Lahiri and sung by Kishore Kumar. It featured actor Sachin and Bindiya Goswami. The new version has been sung by Armaan Mallik and Neeti Mohan.

"Kesha has dismissed her California action without prejudice while she pursues her appeal and other legal claims in the New York courts," said the singer's attorney Daniel M Petrocelli.

He added, "Kesha is focused on getting back to work and has delivered 28 new songs to the record label. We have conveyed to Sony Music and the label Kesha's strong desire to release her next album and single as soon as possible."

The legal battle began in 2014, when Kesha filed a disturbing lawsuit claiming Dr Luke, 42, had sexually abused her, forced her to take illegal drugs and was excessively controlling.

Decoding the music of 'Suicide Squad'

The much-anticipated anti-hero flick 'Suicide Squad', which releases this week, has managed to create quite the buzz for a number of reasons.

A still from 'Suicide Squad'

The cast that includes names like Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto who will be portraying some of our favourite comic book villains on screen, the story line, but also for some very interesting music choices, songs that seem playful, fun and very sassy, much like the movie.

We noticed a few classic songs that the movie will feature and decided to decode the epic soundtrack.

The Comic Con teaser featured a cover of the song ‘I started a joke’ by the Bee Gees which released in 1968, which still seems a bit misplaced considering the theme of the movie.

The second trailer featured a disco version of (Panic at the Disco’s cover) Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody which could debatably be the greatest rock song in the world. While the poetic song may seem strange for a movie with a theme like this, it surprisingly fit in perfectly with the frenzied mood of the trailer.

Another trailer raised the bar by combining two classic songs, a cover of ‘You don’t own me’ by Lesley Gore and The Ballroom Blitz. If this was merely a marketing strategy, it’s an incredibly smart one since the soundtrack seems to be very pivotal to the goings on in the movie.

Robbie showed up on the set of "Suicide Squad" with a tattoo gun and offered to ink her co-stars, including Smith and Cara Delevingne, but he was not impressed.

"I'm a grown-a** man. Margot comes bounding into work with all of her 24-year-old glory like, 'Guys! Guys! I got a tattoo gun! I got a tattoo gun! We're all getting tattoos!' I was like, 'No, we're not'," Smith told etonline.com.

Robbie said her tattoo skills leave a lot to be desired.

"Picture what a four-year-old would draw and stick it on your fridge. That's kind of one of my tattoos," she said.

The 44-year-old Oscar-winning actor said he couldn't understand how he can be so bad, reported E! online.

"One of my first auditions was for one line in Star Trek, just one line in Star Trek: The New Generation. Great show, but I was terrible and I definitely did not get the part.

"I remember going up for WKRP in Cincinnati...They tried to remake the show. Definitely didn't get the part. I remember being so bad, just being so embarrassed reading. How can you be so bad?" Leto said.

The actor also opened up about his first kiss.

"That's a little too naughty to talk about. I mean, that's a whole different show. It makes your head spin," he said.
