A source from the league told Mumbai Mirror, "Ever since the launch of the league, Raj wanted to have a grand opening ceremony. Having JLo for a dance performance on the opening night was completely his idea.

So the management got in touch with the artist's manager and finalised everything." Revealing her arrival date, the source added, "She will be here on March 6 and stay at a suburban five-star.

Due to her rehearsals, they will ensure her hotel is not too far away from the venue. She will perform on some of her biggest hits, including her latest album Love .

She will fly out of the country the next day." When contacted, Kundra, who is currently in Germany, confirmed the story and said, "There are many surprises in store.

With the baby due in May, should we expect you to take some time off work? Yes, I want to declare that I will be off work from April end and will be with Shilpa all the time. I want to give my full attention to my family.

So you're going to pamper her a lot then. You can say so.

I will be doing lot of things then. It's such an important event for both of us, how can I think of working at that time? I am not going to divulge my plans for May.

It's just that I will be with her and we'll enter a new phase of our life together. How are you handling both IPL and SFL simultaneously? Is there a lot pressure? There's no pressure at all.

I love running around. Maybe I am too much of a workaholic.

I plan to be at both the events, but I don't know how. You also made Rahul Dravid the coach for the Royals.

..

We have an iconic player (Dravid) who is really respected in India. Having Rahul as the coach, who's a stalwart of Indian cricket, was a joint decision by team management.

And I feel that after Shane Warne, we had no choice but to have Dravid. He has a great potential and players also look up to him.

You said you want to break the cricket-dominating market through SFL. There are so many games like hockey, MMA, etc, which need to be promoted.

We are a nation of cricket crazy people but other sports are equally good. Such sports are a craze in America.

And having Sanjay Dutt, who's also a trained fighter, I think it will also add to the excitement. Also, you are looking to have female fighters from India? Yes.

We already have chosen four female fighters. But before they get into the ring they need to be trained.

We are in the process, and once they know all the little details, they will be out for the fight. Most probably we will have them in the September leg of the event (less)

Samir's excited about presenting the Anita in a new avatar. Says he,"It's always good to see actors from another era.

They create a novelty for a cinema goer and also for their fans. I know all actors love to act so why not? Roles have changed over the years but once an actor, always an actor.

'' Anita recalls how she got involved in the film, and says, "I got a call from my brother that Samir wanted to meet me for his movie. Samir came home and read out the script to me saying that the role would be of a Maharani with three kids.

Just before leaving home for the shoot, I was feeling very low because it had been really long since I had left my family. But when I reached the sets of 'Chaar Din Ki Chandni' it was like I was never away.

Anupam Kher , Om Puri , Tusshar, Kulraj and the rest of the cast became family. We'd all wine and dine together, enjoying ourselves between some really good work.

This despite the fact that his hands are full with projects. He co-owns Indian Premier League (IPL) team Rajasthan Royals and the matches are currently on.

He has also collaborated with Sanjay Dutt on a martial arts championship called the Super Fight League. But that hasn't taken him away from a sabbatical.

"My wife's expecting now and this is the most important phase of my life and I don't want to be very busy. So I have decided I am not going to go on anymore cricket matches and watch it at home together with Shilpa," Kundra told IANS.

"Once she delivers, I want to spend another month at home for my baby before I get back into business," he added. A visibly excited Kundra says he is looking forward to the new addition in the family and has started preparing for fatherhood.

"Lots of preparations are going on. I am nervous, but I am ready and excited.

Everytime she (Shilpa) has a doctor's appointment, we go together, scans get done and we see this little baby moving," he said. He is not bothered about the child's sex.

"We don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but whosover it is, we are looking forward to it," added Kundra, who married Shilpa in 2009 (less)

According to the complaint, the trouble started nine months ago when Vastavikta, who made her Bollywood debut in the supernatural thriller Eight, moved next to the actor's apartment building, Raj Classique, on Yari Road. Vastavikta claims to be Shahid Kapoor's wife and has allegedly been following him to his shoots and waiting for the actor at the gate of his building.

Sources close to her family said that she fell in love with the Kaminey actor when she first met him at Shiamak Davar's dance classes a few years ago. She believes that she is married to him.

A family friend told Mumbai Mirror that her mother had even written an apology note to Shahid for Vastavikta's behaviour. After shifting into a house close to Shahid's apartment, she barred her family to interfere in her personal life or even come to her apartment, saying that her husband Shahid does not like it.

A close friend of Shahid said that Vastavikta would wait for the actor outside his building's gate, block his car's path and even follow him when he went for a shoot. But the matter came to a head last week when she scaled the society's wall and dodged the security guards to reach the actor's apartment on the 13th floor.

"Shahid did not want to file the complaint but he had no choice as it had gone on for too long," the friend said. While Shahid was not available for comment, one of Vastavikta's family members said that she was not mad, but was crazy about the actor.

Vastavikta has a degree in Arts from S.I.

T Manhattan, New York . She has attended workshops with Satyadev Dubey and Shernaz Patel .

She also learnt jazz under Shiamak Davar . Senior police inspector Nankumar Mhetar of Versova Police Station said, "We have filed a non-cognisable complaint after a letter from Shahid Kapoor submitted by his manager.

We have called the girl, but she was not at home." (less)
