Stalk review

It's a record of sorts for Sania Mirza two stalkers arrested in as many days. Both Mohammed Ashraf and Ajay Singh Yadav claim to be in love with Sania.

But then, isn't that an occupational hazard for celebrities?

We get Bangalore's glitterati to open up about their stalkers...

Anusha, model and actress: I had gone to Mumbai a few years back on a modelling assignment when I started getting calls and SMSes from this person who wouldn't even spare me at night. He would say: 'I want to talk to you and meet you. If you don't talk to me, you won't stay in Bombay any more'. I was scared as I was new to the place.

He troubled me for about a month-and-a-half. The interesting thing was he knew a bit about my background. A few days later, I came back to Bangalore and the first thing I did was to change my number.

Now for the past three days, I am getting calls and messages from a guy saying he wants to be my friend. He also wants to know how my dog and cat are, etc. He calls at 10 pm and sometimes even at midnight. I think I will have to change my number again.

Mind your language: Citizens endorse EC's dictat to politicians

Actress Anusha, who stars in the recent Kannada comedy Venkata in Sankata, said, "This is common in politics and the election authorities should let it go. But ideally. personal rivalry should not come into politcs and the fight should be fair and legal."

Fifty and counting

Sweet nothings: Anusha feeds co-star Meghana cake at the 50-days party of Venkata in Sankata

The cast and crew of the Kannada film, Venkata in Sankata, celebrated the completion of 50 days of the film.

Actor-director Ramesh Aravind and his heroines were all smiles at the press meet at PVR Cinemas on Saturday evening. While Anusha struck the perfect pose, Meghana rushed in rather late. Dentist turned music director Ricky Kej came just in time for the cake cutting. Naresh Mangalani, producer of the film, and Satish Kumar, general manager, PVR Cinemas, Bangalore, were spotted in deep conversation.

Zip, zap, zoom
Venkata was indeed in sankata yesterday. When our alert lensman discretely told actor-director Ramesh Aravind that his fly was open, the poor guy went red but recovered quickly. And sport that he is, he laughed uproariously at his gaffe, hoping that he wouldn't be hauled up for obscenity like Akshay Kumar!
