Zarine Khan kisses a mystery guy at a nightclub

While all the actors in Bollywood are busy making up and breaking up, actress Zarine Khan too is trying her best to make her presence felt in the industry. The ‘Veer’ actress was recently spotted kissing and cuddling a guy, who could not be identified yet.

Zarine and a few of her friends were a part of her birthday bash at a night club in Mumbai, India. The actress was wearing a black mini skirt along with a white top and had sported a new tattoo on her ankle.

After entering the night club, the couple were engaged in some serious public display of affection and were seen planting kisses on each others’ cheeks while they were holding hands and hugging each other.

The man who was getting intimate with the actress had a fair complexion and seemed slightly shorter than the actress. He was dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt and sported some pretty funky spiky hair.

Surprisingly, the actress even admitted that she was indulged in the romantic act but said that she wasn’t romantically involved with the guy. While reasoning, Zarine said that she showed her love to him as he had arranged the birthday party for her and insisted that she is still single.

How Zareen Khan lost 43 kgs?

She swayed smoothly in her superhit item song in ‘Ready’, ‘Character Dheela’. But apart from the adulation she got for her performance, Zareen Khan was also subjected to a lot of criticism for her out-of-shape body. In fact, it reached a point when she was even referred to as ‘Fatrina’ as she resembled actress Katrina Kaif, only flabbier. But Zareen wasn’t one to sit back and endure such criticism, so she decided to shed her excess fat and opt for a toned body for her role in Sajid Nadiadwala’s next, ‘Housefull 2’.

Zareen’s arduous workout schedule was scripted by fitness expert, Yasmin Karachiwalla who crafted a regimented workout recipe that helped Zareen lose 43 kgs. The star went from a whopping 100 kgs to her current weight of 57kgs.

Talking about the military boot camp Yasmin has put her through  Zareen says “Every morning, I do pilates for an hour and weight training thrice a week with Yasmin Karachiwalla. I also do some swimming and jogging and eat every two hours to increase my metabolic rate. Sweets and fried food are a strict no!”

With impressive results showing Zareen is only too encouraged to train harder. “In the next few months, results will be even more visible,” adds Zareen. Here's bidding farewell to flab and welcome to toned abs.

Singer Amrita credits Salman for her success

New Delhi, June 20 : Actress Beena Kak's daughter Amrita, who is riding high on success with chartbusters like "Character Dheela" from "Ready", gives credit to Salman Khan for making her a saleable name in Bollywood.

"Salman is an elder brother figure to me. He has been my driving force. He has got me on track, guided me from time to time, encouraged me to come out of my shell and whatever I am today - the credit goes to him completely for making me a saleable name," Amrita told IANS on the phone from Mumbai.

The 28-year-old made her singing debut in 2005 with "Just Chill" in "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya" and then sang numbers like "Tujhe Aksa Beach ghuma doon" ("God Tusi Great Ho"), "Ankh vich chehra pyar da" ("Apne"), "Rafa dafa" ("Superstar") and "Love me, love me" ("Wanted").

Amrita says she never thought about becoming a professional singer.

"I used to learn music in school like everybody does. I was studying at St Xaviers in Mumbai. I was not very serious, but Salman helped me in finding my direction," she said.

"When he noticed that I like to sing and have a voice which could be moulded, he introduced me to Sajid-Wajid so that I could polish my skills. I started doing regular riyaz ever since there was no looking back for me," she added.

She is now happy to be a part of the music industry.

"I am glad people are liking my songs so much. Wherever I go, I find people tapping on 'Character Dheela'. It really gives me a kick. I feel the acceptance, I am happy that I joined this industry," she said.

"The music industry has experienced similar kind of changes like any other sector. With the advancement of technology and ideology, a lot of new avenues have opened up. People have become more open to accept newcomers.

"And one very important change that I have felt is that the industry is now respecting the different voice textures that people have. As my voice had a bit of a husky texture and I didn't know whether it would work in Bollywood or not. But the encouraging part is that they are accepting people for their individuality and appreciating the uniqueness that they bring along. It is a good time for very newcomers," she said.

What about the crazy lyrics?

"The latest change of crazy, spicy lyrics might be facing conflict but that is what people want now. They are for the masses and people connect with them easily. The lyrics are also very easy to hum," she said.
