"School is as important as drinking water and education is as important as the air we breathe. So, I feel that initiatives like Shiksha that support the cause of education are incredible, and I feel we should all contribute even if it's a little bit because if we do that India will have 100 per cent literacy rate one day," Rani told reporters here.

Bipasha Basu - ‘Rana astonished us with his diction’

Bipasha Basu - ‘Rana astonished us with his diction’: She strolls in brandishing a flower printed summer dress, with wooden and beaded wristbands beautifying her wrists, looking each spot the element of a chipper Goan young lady from her most cutting edge picture Dum Maaro Dum. “You will disregard Bipasha Basu. It's my element Zoe that you will recall,” she states with a grin, settling down to talk.

Dum Maaro Dum carries her over on screen with her Dhoom 2 co-star Abhishek Bachchan. Once more, she is not thrown inverse Abhishek but with Rana Daggubati. “There's a brand new feel to the picture in light of the science in the middle of me and Rana. When Rohan told me a South Indian performing artist will go for the Goan artist, I was diverted. I wondered if he'd have the ability to get the lingual authority right. Rana astonished us. He knew not just his lines, but moreover my lines and each different performer's discoursed,” declares Bipasha.

She is at ease, she says, working with relatively new actors. “I worked with John in his first film. I worked with Ranbir Kapoor in Bachna Ae Haseeno after his first film was a box office debacle. Neil Nitin Mukesh didn't have a great start with Johnny Gaddar but I did Aa Dekhe Zara with him. If I like a film, the set up and director I am game. In fact, Abhishek and I liked working with Rana and Prateik who have a high level of interest towards work,” she says.

She likes to call Dum Maaro Dum a new age thriller. “There are three pivotal stories — that of Abhishek, Prateik, and Rana and me — that intertwine. The tagline ‘kya hai kahani tere paap ki?' says it all. Each one of us has done something in the past and we pay for our sins. Using Goa as a backdrop has added flavour to the characters. The film explores the drug underbelly of Goa. As Zoe, I am an upbeat girl who represents the spirit of the touristy Goa we all know. I like the way Rohan has used a bit of Konkani and old Portugese music in the background,” she shares.

If she is seen in fewer movies nowadays, she doesn't make excuses of ‘being choosy' or ‘selective': “In the last six years, I've been doing only three movies a year. If I take up more work, I'd die of exhaustion. I am busy with endorsements, events, fitness DVDs, shows, movies and looking after my house. I cannot just spend my life working. I love to live life.” After 10 years of acting, Bipasha is ready for newer challenges. “I moved to acting because I got bored of modelling. I never went to an acting school. Recently, I did a few workshops for my English film, Singularity, directed by Rolland Joffe. I never went out of my way to try and work in an English film and was happy when the offer came to me. Working under Rolland is a dream and I am learning a lot. I am a Maratha warrior, a bodyguard to the Indian queen, who falls in love with a British soldier. The film is an action drama with a beautiful story,” she says.

Preity Zinta host TV show 'Guinness World Records'

Preity Zinta host TV show 'Guinness World Records': There is a long queue among Bollywood stars to host shows on the small screen. Take an example of Preity Zinta who is back in the spotlight with the TV show "Guinness World Records - Ab India Todega". After keeping a low profile for quite some time, the actress is foraying into small screen. She explains that her decision to host TV shows is completely spontaneous. She recalls that she chose acting as career in the same way.

Shekhar Kapoor gave her a big lecture on how to become a good star and she flipped a coin and asked if she should get into acting?, she adds. It had been two years since her last hit - 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna'. Similarly, she entered cricket - the IPL- in 2008. Incidentally, even as his one-time co-star Preity Zinta moves to the small screen, Sunny Deol is also contemplating the same. Sources say that a leading channel has approached the actor to host a stunt-based reality show. However, Sunny may have to beat off competition from Bollywood's other macho man, Sanjay Dutt. The show is titled "Jaanbaz" that needs a macho star and Sunny is the forerunner to host it. The channel sources, however, say they are in talks with both actors. Well, given the fact that Sanju baba is looking more like an overworked daddy rather than an action star these days, the small screen sun may just shine brighter for Sunny.

The story doesn't end here. Other stars, and relatively seniors, aren't far behind. Who will be the host of the desi version of popular reality show, Survivor? Word is that John Abraham is the biggest contender so far for this slot, although the names of Ajay Devgn and Arjun Rampal have cropped up too. Industry sources say the channel is eyeing the three because of their fit and fab image that would match the nature of the show perfectly. This could be John's TV debut. However Ajay and Arjun are TV old timers. Ajay was a judge on show "Rock and Roll" family with wife Kajol and mother-in-law Tanuja, while Arjun was a judge on "Nach Baliye 4". Interestingly, reality show "Survivor" is about the struggle of a group of people marooned on an island to outwit nature and each other! Great.

Elizabeth Taylor Passed Away: The baubled splendor of a screen ruler

Elizabeth Taylor Passed Away: The baubled splendor of a screen rulerr: She was one of the last bigger-than-life stars from the old Hollywood era who bridged to the modern celebrity era.

She took movie roles that could reflect or exploit aspects of her colourful life, a biographical dialogue with her career that turned out to be her real legacy.
