Aditi Rao Hydari: Don"t Have the Privilege of Getting Roles Written for Me

Actress Aditi Rao Hydari said that she wants to collaborate with good directors as being an outsider she does not have the privilege to get roles written for her.

 

“I want to work with good people and good directors. I don’t have the privilege of choice to say ‘I want to work with you’ and the person will say, ‘Yes, come on, I will write a film for you.’ It doesn’t happen for people like me who come from the outside,” she told PTI here.

 

Aditi made her Bollywood debut in a supporting role in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi 6 in 2009, and feels “lucky” that she has been a part of good films.

 

“I have been lucky that good people have chosen me to be a part of their films and I am really grateful. This fills me with a sense of positivity and there is so much to look forward to,” she said.

 

The actress, who has struck a balance between glamorous roles in movies like London Paris New York, Boss and performance-driven characters in Yeh Saali Zindagi and Rockstar, said she does not want to get pigeon-holed in a particular image.

 

“I want to do different things. I don’t want to be stuck in the ‘sweet girl’ box. I don’t want to be stuck in the ‘oh she is so glamorous’ box. I want to be brought into a film for more than that. I hope I bring more to the table than just a face and a fit body. But it is not a conscious decision. I don’t have a method, I don’t overthink things. Even on set I switch-on and switch-off. I could be bawling and the next minute I could be jumping. I work like that. I am a five-year-old kid in my head.”

 

The actress said she was fortunate to do films which were more than just “glamorous.”

 

“Even London Paris New York and Murder 3 were films which demanded a lot of work in terms of acting. There was good solid work for me. They weren’t just glamorous roles. And I believe there is nothing wrong with being glamorous, nothing wrong with being sexy or feminine,” Aditi added.

 

The actress will be next seen in Jolly LLB director Subhash Kapoor’s upcoming comedy film Guddu Rangeela, opposite Arshad Warsi and Kai Po Che! actor Amit Sadh. The film will release on July 3.

Actress Mila Kunis has been alerted by police after her stalker escaped from a mental health facility.

 

The Jupiter Ascending actress, who has seven-month-old daughter Wyatt with Ashton Kutcher, has been alerted by police after 27-year-old Stuart Lynn Dunn made an ‘unauthorised departure’ from a psychiatric clinic in Pomona, California on the night of May 30. A hunt for the man is ‘in progress and ongoing’, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Martin Rodriguez has confirmed, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

 

Stuart Dunn was ordered to undergo treatment in the clinic after pleading no contest to felony stalking in January 2013.

 

The man was arrested in February 2012 when he was found living in an empty house owned by the actress and was subsequently made the subject of a restraining order.

 

However, he was arrested again in May that year for breaching the order after he showed up at Mila’s gym three days in a row.

 

Apart from being ordered to seek rehabilitation treatment, Stuart Dunn was also told to stay away from 31-year-old actress, her agents, managers and assistants for 10 years under the terms of his plea deal, and also placed on probation for five years.

The thieves dumped the actress’s custom Calvin Klein Oscar dress, which was stolen from her hotel room two days ago, in a garbage bag and it was returned to The London West Hollywood on Friday, reports tmz.com. “A guy called us at around 2:30 p.m. Friday and said he had taken the dress from Lupita’s hotel room after he noticed the door was ajar,” said a source.

 

The anonymous caller said that after stealing the gown, he and other thieves removed several of the 6,000 Akoya pearls (rumoured to be worth approximately $150,000) from the dress, and had them appraised by jewellery experts in the Los Angeles garment district, who determined the pearls to be fake.

Straight from the Stars: Celebs Share Their Fitness Tips

There are a lot of celebrity weight loss tips out there, but these often come from trainers to the stars rather than the stars themselves. Surely, if you want to learn about a celeb’s personal wellness routine, you should get it straight from the horse’s mouth? With that in mind, we’ve gathered up direct quotes from gorgeous starlets, who have revealed all about how they take care of their wellbeing.

 

1. Kristen Bell: You might not expect the star of Veronica Mars and Forgetting Sarah Marshall to have a lot in common with a 90s rapper, but Kristen Bell has something in common with Sir Mix-A-Lot: A butt fetish. ‘My favourite things on the planet. I want two round cupcakes, always,’ she says. ‘I kicked my buns and abs sets into high gear when I knew I’d have to be in my bra and underwear on House of Lies.’ How did she do it? With Physique 57 Ballet Barre. Kristen explains, ‘They target exactly where every woman needs to focus. It’s just butt, thighs, abs, butt, thighs, abs.’

 

2. Cobie Smulders: The How I Met Your Mother actress asserts, ‘If I could be as fit as Madonna is now, that would be rad. For me, it’s more about being healthy than about how I look. I do Pilates because it’s important for me to have a healthy back when I’m 70 so I’m not hunched over and in pain. That’s more important to me than being thin.’

 

3. Kate Beckinsale: The English actress practises qigong, as well as swapping her once intense gym workouts for a yoga-based routine. She explains, ‘I’d gotten particularly sick of being photographed outside a gym doing a squat with a medicine ball.’

 

4. Elizabeth Banks: ‘I do this system called TRX,’ details the Hunger Games actress. ‘It was developed by a Navy SEAL and is basically a simple cord that you can wrap around something anywhere, anytime, and you use your body weight as resistance. We installed one in our home gym, but you can also attach it to a tree. It’s very easy to travel with.’

 

5. Rachel Bilson: The former star of The OC loves dancing ‘or some sort of sport,’ she comments. ‘I’m not the kind to go to the gym.’ She adds, ‘Yoga is a great way to relax and get your body toned. You should enjoy food and enjoy life. Healthiness stems from being happy.’

 

6. Zoe Saldana: As Zoe needs to kick butt in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy, she needs to be strong but not overly muscular. As well as varying her strengthening workouts with five-pounder biceps curls and triceps extensions and 15-pound deadlifts, she focuses on her core. Zoe enthuses, ‘Core training is important for being balanced.’

 

7. Brooklyn Decker: For actress and model Brooklyn Decker, you can simply run and dance your way to looking good. ‘I [blast] three Taylor Swift songs as loud as I [can] and start running in place and doing some stupid booty dancing,’ she admits. ‘Sometimes I’ll watch a music video of a great performer like Beyonce and try to follow her choreography. Yeah, maybe I look ridiculous, but dancing gets your energy up a lot better than running on a treadmill or pedalling a stationary bike.’

 

8. Ashley Greene: Doing Pilates or running three to five miles, three to five days a week, helps Twilight star Ashley Greene keep her body tight and her mind calm. She comments, ‘You put on your headphones and go off into your own little world. If you’re running outside and you have a beautiful view, you have this sense of being free.
