We will be making an announcement regarding her next film soon,” an official statement from her spokesperson said. Posted in (less)

They make a good pair and they had no issues with the people around them showering them with that extra attention." Looks like Shahid and Nargis have no issues coming out in public, eh? (less)

The proceeds raised will go to Akshara Centre, an NGO that works for women's empowerment. The Rockstar girl works closely with them through the agency that represents and manages her work.

She will bring her B-Town buddies for the fundraiser, hoping to raise enough for scholarships for a 100 girls. More power to you, girl! (less)

A source close to her says, "Nargis has not only been tied up with her commercial work, but she's also been spending time training in Kathak, Bollywood dance and Hindi diction. Now she has given herself a breather by taking a short trip to Thailand .

She and some friends have taken a week off and dashed away to chill out in Bangkok . She has literally been working non-stop since returning from New York , and has had no time for herself.

This break will give her time to unwind and rejuvenate." Interestingly, there's no mention of acting classes there as part of her 'busy' schedule.

We're hoping that's part of her much-needed repacking, eh? (less)

Ever since, there has been widespread speculation as to whether they are the newest love birds in Bollywood. Rumours apart, Mumbai Mirror can now tell you that it's official - Shahid and Nargis are indeed a couple; the latest to hit tinsel town.

"Nargis is Shahid's latest love. Since the past few days, the two are spending a lot of quality time with each other.

So far, they have avoided being seen together. Perhaps they wanted to keep the whole thing under wraps for some more time," revealed a source close to the twosome.

When did the 'good friends' become more than just that? Said the source, "Nargis spent a lot of time with Shahid in Goa. They were attracted to each other then and their friendship grew after returning to Mumbai.

However, they started dating only recently." How serious is their relationship, considering Shahid has been linked to a bevy of B-town beauties including Anushka Sharma and Bipasha Basu ever since his break up with Priyanka Chopra last year? "Well, he is quite serious about Nargis and likes her company," the source said.

Meanwhile, Nargis too has been earlier linked to the likes of Ranbir Kapoor and Shayan Munshi although according to the source, she is hardly in contact with either of them now. We tried to get in touch with Shahid and Nargis but both remained unavailable for comment (less)

Unfortunately, producers don't seem to be sharing her excitement, and she has been told to try acting opposite new faces. Maybe this explains why she hasn't signed on a film yet? (less)

I give up," drones Nargis Fakhri , weary of commenting on her relationship status and rumours of link-ups with B-Town boys Ranbir and Shahid Kapoor . "I am waiting to become a lesbian," she jokes.

Everything fine with RK Reacting to reports that her "Rockstar" co-star and 'good friend' RK stopped talking to her and avoids taking her calls, Nargis, who had been away in New York on a long holiday, remarks, "There were news reports like that? That's news to me. Everything is regular with us.

Obviously, during the making of the film, you spend so much time with the person and now all of us are so busy..

..

" No time for family, friends "It was nice to take a break. It gets very stressful when you are living on your own, away from your family.

I don't have anyone here, no family or friends ..

. It is okay, I don't have the time (to think about it) now.

When I wake up at 7am, I have my Kathak class, jazz class, Hindi class, script class, acting class..

. and then I shoot for magazine covers, events, ads.

..

" she chirps excitedly. Three-Film deal with AK Commenting on industry buzz that Akshay Kumar "came to her rescue" with three films under his banner post her lack of offers after "Rockstar", she says, "That is a strange statement, I don't find it valid.

" But she is certainly excited to share screen space with Akshay. "And that too in a comedy.

At least the first of the three is a comedy. There were many scripts coming in, but I wanted to do something fun," says Nargis.

"And no one really knows that when I first came to Mumbai, I happened to see Akshay's face on a bus, and I screamed, 'I know this guy, he is a funny man, I like him'. Now it is so cool to work with him," she says with glee (less)

I met him while performing at an awards ceremony. It was my first and I was nervous.

Shahid was supportive. We have been friends since then.

Can't one have both guy and girl friends? Why is having dinner, lunch or coffee with a friend such a big deal? You flew down with Shahid for his birthday in Goa and then were spotted at a five star having dinner..

. For his birthday, I was invited.

I thought I would have a nice time with people I know. I never thought it would become such a big deal.

As for the dinner, a common friend planned it. Five of us met up after a long time.

You've been linked to Ranbir Kapoor and Imtiaz Ali earlier..

. They were just rumours.

And I can't be bothered with them. Does it feel weird to be constantly scrutinized? It comes with the job.

But I would like the media to tell the truth. I am someone who will happily say the truth.

I don't feel the need to hide from anyone. I see nothing wrong in love or being in love.

Rockstar was a big hit. But the critics were a bit harsh on you.

Is that why you are waiting to sign your next project? I am not being choosy. There are things in the pipeline.

I don't want to rush. I did not know what to expect from Rockstar .

Later, I realised how lucky I was. Critics had no idea how hard I had worked.

But it's fine. I realise that this is an unforgiving business.

I take all the criticism positively (less)

Some are sending feelers to filmmaker friends asking for it; others are at home practising their moves, waiting for a producer to knock. But we just heard there are still others who are hard nuts to crack.

Katrina Kaif refused an item song in the about-to-be-released thriller because she feels one Chikni Chameli is enough for a year in an outside production; unless of course one of her own films Ek Tha Tiger or Dhoom 3 require her to gyrate sensuously to a sassy number. Rockstar newbie Nargis Fakri listened to the item song, praised the song, apparently even practised her moves at home and conveyed to the filmmakers that she thought it had great potential.

But then she backed out at the nth hour because she got a break as a heroine again. Priyanka Chopra who was promised, yes the proudcer confirmed this with us, ` 3 cr for the same item that Kat refused.

However, she still wouldn't bite the bait. One would imagine that 'money makes an actor's world go around'; yet PC played hard to get.

Is it because the leading man of the film and she share an 'indifferent' vibe? (less)
