Akshay Kumar surely knows how to balance his personal and professional life -- he used his free time while shooting for new movie `Patiala House` playing cricket with son Aarav.

"Whenever he got free time during his shoots for `Patiala House`, he would play cricket and often Aarav would participate in the game. And Aarav would always beat Akshay at cricket," said a source.

An expert at martial arts and French sport Parkour, Akshay has also started training Aarav in these.

"Aarav can even climb walls like a pro and can do the summersault even though he`s just nine years old... In fact, he`s getting better by the day even in martial arts," said the source.

Directed by Nikhil Advani, `Patiala House` stars Anushka Sharma and Rishi Kapoor.

Galloping ’Veer’ is gonna have the ride of his life. On a Hercules bicycle, if you please! Mumbai will host India’s largest cycling event together with ’Being Human’, Salman Khan’s NGO which aims to elevate facilities in education and healthcare.

The Mumbai chapter of the ’BSA Hercules India Cyclothon’ (Feb 21,2010) is being touted as a "community ride which will promote the practice of cycling in the city." Cyclists, working professionals, house spouses and children too are expected to take part in the racy cyclothon, which will be kicked off with Khan’s starry presence.


"I loved to cycle as a child," revealed Khan at a Press con. "It was my dad who taught me cycling. In fact, even as I was learning to cycle with my dad holding my cycle, my mom called out to him. Absent mindedly, he let me go as he turned to answer her, but I went ahead… I had learnt to cycle! I used to cycle to the medical store to fetch medicines for dad."

London girl Jiah Khan couldn’t contain her excitement when the shooting of Sajid Khan’s comedy film Housefull began in her home city. In the starting days of the shooting schedule in London Jiah began to dole out all the gyan about the city to director Sajid Khan and others.

Sajid, being fond of Jiah, heard her out most of the times, but when co-star Arjun Rampal was at the receiving end of Jiah’s endless chattering about London, he did the obvious thing. He gagged her mouth with a scarf.

Of course, it was just a prank and Jiah took it sportingly, but from thereon whenever anyone in the crew made a mere mention of London, everyone would turn to Jiah for verification.

On another occasion Jiah became the butt of a prank by none other than Akshay Kumar. While dining at a restaurant, Akshay stealthily slipped the cutlery into Jiah’s bag to make her look like a cutlery chor.

Poor Jiah! Now she knows what it’s like to work with irrevocable pranksters.

Bipasha’s latest super lean look seems to have finally paid off! The stunner, who has been sporting an uber glamorous look after her recent makeover, is set to take her image transformation on-screen too. And after playing the typical goody-two-shoes, Bips will now be seen essaying the role of a junkie in Rohan Sippy’s ‘Dum Maro Dum’.

With this, Bips will ape living legend Zeenat’s maverick role from the blockbuster ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’. As per reports, Bipasha will be playing a gorgeous junkie from Goa opposite Telugu star Rana Daggubati in the film. And the stunner will be seen sharing screen space with Abhishek Bachchan, Prateik Babbar and Aditya Pancholi.

Confirming the news, Rohan told a daily, “Yes we have signed Bipasha for the film as she fits the character perfectly. Zeenat Aman is my all time favourite and I hold her in high esteem”.

Speaking about the film the director added, “There is no one who can be like her but yes, Bipasha has appeal and connects well with the audience. But the film has nothing to do with ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’, except elements like gangsters, drugs and the fact that it is set in Goa.”
