There are a number of fake profiles of Rajeev out there, and the actor has now discovered that imposters are misusing it by pretending to be him. "I don't want innocent girls getting conned by any of these imposters," says Rajeev, who is hoping to find a way out to shut these fake accounts.

"Recently, I met Rupaji (actress Rupa Ganguly), who told me she had sent me a friend request. Then I met somebody else who said we'd been in touch via the site.

I've also got a lot of complaints," he says. What's equally a matter of concern is that the fake users are aware of his whereabouts.

"The fact that I'm in Kashmir with my family right now is something very few people know, but I'm surprised these people know about it!" Technology does have its flipside. Hopefully Rajeev will manage to find a solution soon (less)

Fair complexion, light eyes and a well-toned body are the benchmarks of beauty. Sonam , Sonakshi , Arjun Kapoor - are all examples of 'heavyweight' star-kids who had to dial-it-down for a B-Town debut.

Is the industry too prejudiced about all that appears good-looking? Does acting ability really matter; and are these the right parameters to gauge 'star-material'? This week, Bollywood Big Story debates whether Bollywood is too obsessed by fake beauty. Here's what filmmaker Milan Luthria had to say, "Being fat is fatal in Indian cinema.

We get too consumed by the definition of beauty imbibed in us." Producer Mukesh Bhatt offers another perspective, citing an example, "I don't think Katrina is the most talented actress, but she's beautiful and hardworking, that's why she's at the top.

Experimenting with looks is the in-thing and Bollywood actors have begun going to great lengths to get the skin of their characters. Salman Khan toned his body further and added a moustache for 'Dabangg'.

Akshay Kumar will follow suit playing a policeman in 'Rowdy Rathore'. Aamir Khan actually grew a moustache to fit into the cop's role in 'Talaash'.

And as if these are not enough, Bollywood has a new chameleon now. Sachiin Joshi , whose debut film 'Aazaan' stunned the industry with its amazing action and production values last year and even bagged a Stardust Award for it, is pulling all stops to play a quirky cop in his next film 'Mumbai Mirror'.

To begin with, just like Aamir, the actor is growing a stylish moustache for it, instead of going for a fake one. "Having the perfect look goes a long way in making the character look authentic.

Its amazing, the way Aamir manages to change his look to suit his character in almost every movie he does," remarks Sachiin. But the newbie is not just stopping at a facial change! Just as Aamir did for his other film 'Ghajini', Sachiin is undergoing rigorous physical training, with his trainer having put him on a strict diet regimen too.

Having lost a lot of kilos and toned up his body, the 'Aazaan' star aspires to look every bit of the tough but whimsical cop he portrays in 'Mumbai Mirror'. Directed by Ankush Bhatt, of 'Bhindi Bazaar Inc.

' fame, the movie mirrors the Mumbai underbelly and revolves around the nexus between powerful corrupt dance bar lords and the Mumbai Police (less)

The director also admits to being in love, but refrains from naming a certain Jacqueline Fernandez Do you think your decision to cast Ajay Devgn over Akshay Kumar in the remake of Himmatwala will create problems in your friendship with Akshay? It's just like Farah signing Akshay over Shah Rukh for Tees Maar Khan , and the rest , as they say, is history . Work coming in between your friendship is the most bizarre and fake thing ever.

You see, every industry is filled with opportunistic people, and Bollywood is no different. Friendships here are very territorial, fragile and opportunistic.

But if that's the case, it's not friendship. Dhanda aur chanda do alag cheezein hain, aur woh alag hi rehni chahiye.

Why is it that your relationship is only based on work? God forbid, if one day Sajid (Nadiadwala, the producer) and I don't work together, our relationship will remain the same. Your friendship should not be based on work.

Filmein toh har saal aayengi, par rishte baar baar nahin bante. So, Farah and Shah Rukh's friendship was only work-related? Not at all.

Shah Rukh did Farah's kanyadaan yaar , how can their friendship be fake? We all are like one family. Gauri ties me rakhi , and calls me brother.

Every family at some point of time faces trouble, and it's true that these guys didn't speak for three years, but all that was because of some misunderstanding, which is clear now. All these years, I've been saying that SRK and Farah's fight is very stupid and they'll come back, and now they have.

Even during those three years, they were cordial with each other whenever they met. All those reports that were printed were baseless.

Are the rumours of you dating Jacqueline Fernandez baseless too? My personal life is not for all to see. I'm answerable only to my family and close friends.

That's the reason why I've stayed away from Twitter too, because I will never talk about my personal life on a public platform. Let people speculate.

Even when three years ago, people were talking about Riteish and me being gay, I didn't say anything. Why should I add fuel to such rumours by commenting on them? But yes , the moment I feel it is becoming too much, and if someone is hitting me below the belt, I'll take action.

Phir main usko ghar mein ghus ke maroonga. Are you promoting or recommending Jacqueline? I've never done that, I'm no one to promote anybody.

I believe the biggest and the best promotions cannot make you work in a film or make you a star - it is eventually the films that you do that matter. If you are good in films that are better than you, then you become a star.

You can confirm if you are seeing someone? Yes, I am in love and I will get married, but not now. I'll marry after one-two years, aur jisse pyaar karta hoon, ussi se shaadi karoonga.

Jis din shaadi hogi uss din sabko pata chal jayega ki woh kaun hai. You have tripled the cast in your upcoming film.

How was it directing so many actors? It was triple the cast, triple the budget and triple the madness. Managing all of them was not difficult, but getting them from their vanity vans to the set was a task that used to take an hour-and-a-half.

Was it because of the actresses and their elaborate makeup? Yes, because, sometimes you have 10-12 actors in one frame, but two of the actresses are getting their hair done, so everybody is waiting for them to come. And when these actresses would come running, everybody would start clapping for them.

It was so much fun. The IPL starts from April 4, and you are releasing Housefull 2 on April 5.

Deliberate or desperate? We had initially set the release date as June 1, but I intentionally had that moved ahead to April 5. My logic is that the IPL is in its fifth year, and today there are so many matches being played every day that people are not bothered.

At the most, they want to see an India-Pakistan match or India playing in the finals, Otherwise, people are not bothered. I'm sure the IPL will do very well this season too, but I'm also sure that people would want to come out of their houses to watch movies as well.

Don't you think you are taking a big risk? I don't think that I'm taking any risk. Vashu Bhagnani released Biwi No.

1 in the middle of the World Cup in 1999, and the picture was a super hit. If a movie is good, it will do well, if it is not good, no matter how well you promote it, or whichever date you choose, it will flop.

The audience loves entertainment , chahe woh kissi bhi form mein ho (less)

Right now, I am back to shooting the quintessential item number. In the Bollywood times we are living in, what a face to a woman is what an item song to a film.

There was a film called "Teen Patti" and someone had asked me what I thought about the promos. I had said, I only remember the girl's back! The film, of course, wasn't made to show the girl's back but like it or not, that's all that I remember about it.

An item song is like the icing on the cake. Nobody buys a cake for the icing and but they enjoy it because of it.

Who is this new girl in "Department"? Her name is Nathalia Kaur. She is a Brazilian-Punjabi girl.

Frankly, I have not seen a girl in the last 10 years with more grace and expression along with an angel like body and a classically beautiful face than what Nathalia has. She is smoking hot in the 'Dan Dan' song in "Department" which I am shooting with her, Sanjay Dutt and Rana Daggubati.

'My Dan Dan' will do 'Khallas' to all item songs! "Department" is being shot in a format that no one has seen before in India. The camera angles are completely new for Indian cinema.

Having worked with Amitabh Bachchan in so many films, how challenging is it to reinvent him? What is the challenge for Sanjay Dutt? It is very easy to reinvent Amitabh Bachchan if you are clear with your vision. He is very sharp and can quickly interpret what you want him to do.

Sanjay has a larger than life persona and it's quite a task to create a character for him that's more down-to-earth. What's the status of your 26/7 film? The script is done.

Rommel Rodrigues, who wrote Kasab, The Face of 26/11, has written the script for the film though my movie isn't based on this book. I shall begin shooting on March 10.

This film is called "The Attacks On 26/11" and has to be elaborately shot. The event was complex and has to be shot in too many different places.

I am expecting it to stagger and work on it instead of finishing it in one go. I feel, 26/11 is the second most horrific act in the world.

The terrorists involved in this had more audacity than those involved in 9/11. The ambition of the people was far complex than that of others 9/11 though more people were killed in the twin tower attacks.

Is Riteish Deshmukh part of the cast? Of course, not. When I had visited the Taj, I had no intention of making this film.

It's strange for people to even think that I would be casting Riteish as a terrorist or a cop in this film. All those who are playing the terrorists are fresh faces.

The rest of the cast will be announced soon. Reports claim that you are directing the Hindi remake of "The Businessman".

..

That's what reports do. They claim.

I am actually producing the film and haven't decided on who will direct it. Your recent comment on the microblogging site, "Since a man has only one life, it is unfair and unjust to waste it on one woman", has Taslima Nasreen saying "2+ lacs idiots wasting time on you".

What's your take on this? I love all women and yes, even Taslima Nasreen. What exactly is your view of a woman? A woman for me is an incredible object of desire.

I don't feel desiring a woman is any less than loving her. In fact, I feel there's more emotional honesty in a sexual desire than in love.

Once can fake love but one can't fake a sexual desire. A sexual act should not be confused with sexual feeling.

The act could be common to everyone but a feeling is a function of the degree of its intensity in a particular individual. There's a difference between I want to have sex with a particular girl and how badly I want to have sex with her.

I want to sexually love a woman because for me, the very concept of a woman is about her sexuality. But the tragedy is that women want to be loved for every reason other than their sexuality.

So, this wisdom of mine is now forcing me to look for what I want in virtual women because they come completely edited and also come with a remote control. Recently, a Twitter co-founder has warned that spending hours on the site is unhealthy.

Will this information change your tweeting habit? Since tweeting is as good as sex, anything unhealthy will be the most desirable for most people (less)

" Poonam reacted strongly, tweeting, "Jealousy: That's what makes a b***h talk." When the online sparring came to light, though, Chitrangda was quoted as saying that the tweet originated from a fake account in her name, which incidentally, displays an official tag under her handle.

So, while it may be difficult for followers to tell a fake from an authentic celeb, the question is, what leads someone to fake a celebrity account? Is it the thrill of continuous attention? Or, as Poonam suggests, to settle a personal score? "There are a lot of reasons that may lead someone to encash on a famous name," says Poonam, adding, "But faking accounts can create a lot of enemies in the industry," laughs the 20-year-old model. "It is also a channel for a personal vendetta.

For instance, if someone doesn't like you, he or she may create a fake account to vent their spleen on you," says Poonam. Ethical hacker Ankit Fadia, though, says that pretending to be a celebrity on a micro-blogging site is a pastime.

"There is a fun element in faking an account because there is no way to figure out whether it is a real or fake. Earlier, there was a policy on the site to verify if it is authentic, but that has stopped now," he says.

The reasons, according to Ankit, are manifold. "It satisfies the continuous attention rush, helps in creating more followers for the celebrity.

The fake usually tweets about controversial matters, after which the real celebrity and fans also react. Getting a reaction from a celebrity is almost like creating another war of words," he says.

Industry insiders believe that B-grade actors and wannabe models create their own fake accounts (hire ghost tweeters) to massage their egos. Starlet Veena Malik, the first Pakistani to start trending on the micro-blogging site, puts it down to the "celebrity syndrome".

"People create fake accounts as they get immediate responses. Respondents may share personal details, which the faker may misuse," she says.

Celebs with dubious online identities l Amitabh Bachchan:140 fake accounts l Priyanka Chopra:120 fake accounts l Kareena Kapoor:120 fake accounts l Salman Khan:80 fake accounts l Shah Rukh Khan:75 fake accounts l Aamir Khan: 36 fake accounts l Saif Ali Khan: 35 fake accounts l John Abraham:21 fake accounts (less)

While some got duped in the process and sent e- mailed photos across, others informed Anurag before proceeding any further. Says Anurag, "This is the third time that the guy is up to such a nuisance.

Koel Mallick first told me that I had sent across my casting agent, Suraj, to meet her. I was at my wit's end but still wanted to find out if there was anyone by that name who I knew.

Later, it turned out that the Suraj I knew in Mumbai has no connection with this dubious guy in Kolkata." Anurag decided to bury the incident till he came across another actor, recently, who narrated a similar story.

"This actor, Jhilik, knows my relative. Though she spoke to this guy, she also gave me a call.

That's how I came to know about this. Now I'm thinking of taking legal action since I can't risk anyone misusing my name and promising roles.

" Jhilik, who was also a finalist of the CT Fresh Face contest and has worked in Bengali movies, says, "This guy called me up and said he is both the casting director and financier of Anuragda. He said he had sourced my number from somewhere and was casting for Anuragda's next, to be produced by Anuragda himself.

He spoke in a way that it seemed as if he knew Anuragda's entire family very well. Not just Anuragda's film, he also said he was casting for the directorial debut of Anuragda's film editor.

" Before Jhilik spoke to Anurag, she sent across her portfolio to this guy. "I have sent a whole lot of pictures to him.

He received them and told me that he would be coming to town next week and that we should meet up for subsequent discussions on the movie. Now that I have spoken to Anuragda, I'm very scared.

I don't know if my pictures will be misused by this guy. I have had a word with Anuragda and he said that he will be pressing for legal actions because nobody should have any business harming his image.

" When CT called up on the number that supposedly belonged to this guy, the calls went unanswered (less)

'' In other words what is good for the gander is definitely not so good for the goose. Take the example of Priyanka Chopra .

She is being slandered and ostracised for her reported closeness to Shah Rukh Khan . While industy wives like Mehr Jessia (Mrs Arjun Rampal ) have made it their business to preach on whether PC should be invited to certain homes and parties or not; filmmakers like Karan Johar have decided not to give her work.

Mehr's 'concern' is still understandable. But why PC's career should bear the brunt of her personal choices is something one fails to understand.

An amused actor who is watching this tamasha says, "No one is willing to take on SRK because he is the Bollywood Badshah. So Bollywood's moral brigade is happy to take potshots at Priyanka.

'' While it is futile to even debate, whether or not SRK-PC are more than just good friends; and actually no one's business; what is disturbing is the way the world is reacting to Priyanka. Says the same actor, "If two people are in a relationship, it is their business.

It should have no bearing on their professional career. And if the industry is making it their business, then both the married man and his new friend should be meted out the same treatment.

'' Double standards though are not new in the films. Years ago Nagma was reportedly shunted out of Tamil Nadu because of her liaison with a Kollywood' Sarath Kumar.

On record, Nagma said, "I called off my relationship with him because we had reached a dead end.'' However when asked whether she was aware that Sarath Kumar and a couple of close aides had asked producers to stop giving her work Nagma denied this.

She diplomatically told Filmfare, "My reasons for returning to Mumbai were very much my own.'' Priyanka refuses to answer all questions on her controversial personal life (less)

The list is growing by the day. While these scenes generate a lot of curiosity before the film's release, is this B-Town's new formula to grab immediate attention? Director Vivek Agnihotri says, "Sex sells.

There was a time when actresses used to emphasise on 'no kissing, no cleavage' clause. But today an actress will have to go home if she has such inhibitions.

Small town youngsters want to watch films like Love, Sex Aur Dhoka and Ragini MMS . According to surveys conducted in smaller cities, parents and children go separately to watch these movies, but they do watch them.

So even if these films are not meant for family viewership, they work." Filmmakers deny that they are going the Hollywood way, suggesting that the films are actually a reflection of society.

Filmmaker Abhinay Deo says, "The youth today are coming out of their shells and our society is less hypocritical. Anything that is not agreeable will not sustain, whether it is titillating or not.

" While many actors actually get talked about when they do such bold scenes, some feel that they'd do such scenes only if the script demands it. Actor Tusshar Kapoor says, "When a film is bold, it needs to be marketed well.

There have been so many clones of films like Murder and Kya Cool Hain Hum but they did not work. Audiences are smart enough to judge a film.

" Siddharth Roy Kapur, CEO of a leading production house says, "It would be a folly to continue being coy. We'd be foolish to assume that just because we don't show romance or kissing on screen, the youth of the country would not be watching it on internet at home!" So now we know why Bolly films are spicier and bolder of late! It's about money (less)

"We have so many girls from down South stepping into Hindi films but filmmakers seem to get cold feet when it comes to actors. Maybe 'Raanjhana' would break the myth that actors from South aren't successful in Hindi films.

I have seen Dhanush's work down South, he will take Bollywood by storm," Aanand told. After the success of "Tanu Weds Manu", apparently there was pressure on Aanand to rope in a much more 'saleable' name.

But the director said, "I don't understand one thing. When we have no qualms picking up films from down South for remaking them in Bollywood, why not do the same with heroes as well?" Set in Varanasi, "Raanjhana" is a love story of a middle class boy and girl.

Known for capturing the authenticity of various small towns and cities in "Tanu Weds Manu", Aanand is expected to bring similar flavour in his new film as well, "This is also going to be a close-to-soil film. Dhanush is going to melt everyone's heart in the role of this loveable guy from Varanasi.

The female character too would have a mind of her own despite hailing from a small town. She is street- smart and not a pushover.

Beyond that it would be futile to talk since it is too early," said Aanand (less)
