Teaser: Priyanka Chopra shoots for Dabboo Ratnani's 2012 calendar


Celebrity photographer Dabboo Ratnani is ready to come out with his calendar for 2012 that features a slew of celebrities from Bollywood. 

The lensman has been known to make many a Bollywood starlet shed their inhibitions, and clothes, for his calendar shoots. But his forte is to present the celebrities in newer backdrops, rather than those stale uptight poses in studios. 


Here’s a sneak peek at Dabboo Ratnani clicking Priyanka Chopra by the poolside. On the next page, check out the lensman shooting Amitabh Bachchan in a roadside barber shop. 
Shahid Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra Set to Wrap Kunal Kohlis Next


January 04, 2012, (Sawf News) - Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra are close to wrapping Kunal Kohli's Next, a love story that is currently being shot on location in Aurangabad.
On Tuesday morning, January 3, Shahid tweeted:
"Last schedule for the film underway .... Will wrap it in 4 days ....... Been quite a journey ......... Its out june 22nd"
The film's leading lady, Priyanka Chopra reported on set yesterday after a year end vacation.

Looks like Beti B has already brought good luck to Amitabh Bachchan. The veteran actor has become the Bollywood celebrity with the highest number of followers on the microblogging site Twitter. Till a couple of days ago, the crown belonged to Priyanka Chopra. The Fashion actor was the Twitter queen, beating even Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan, with 18,46,557 followers. However, Amitabh’s regular tweets have garnered him 18,56,913 followers. It seems that more users are interested in Big B’s philosophy than in what Priyanka is doing. Wethink it also has a lot to do with Beti B. You may remember how Amitabh was the first to announce daughter-in-law Aishwarya’s pregnancy, and also the first to tweet that she had delivered a girl. We guess that several others like us believe that he will be the first to tweet the name of Beti B too – after all, he has been asked to choose it – and that’s why there’s been this surge in his followers. We are sure that we are not the only ones hoping he will tweet a photo of Beti B too. Not that his musings aren’t interesting but, hey, Beti B beats philosophy any day, don’t you think?


Our Bollywood stars are coming back to their homes after enjoying their New Year vacations. Priyanka Chopra, Karishma Kapoor and Ravina Tondon were clicked by the shutterbugs at the Mumbai International Airport. 

Priyanka Chopra, who looked really pretty at the airport, wrote on twitter: “In my way back home.. Planes!!A two day getaway with my besties was much needed! Off to aurangabad for Kunal kohlis film tonight.. Pheeeew.” 

Raveena Tandon, too, had posted some days back: “Fiinally over,so now more time to relax,read a book and get some me time,in singapore,was to go to dubai,cancelled it,cos tOo hectic.”
