While the Indian youth faces criticism for aping the west, young actress Sonam Kapoor says she finds nothing wrong with it as good values are "universal".
"Values are usually universal…good values are universal. The west in not a devil coming to change our minds about certain things. Yes, we have amazing values in India which we should be very proud of. But I think it's fine to get influenced by the world because the world is getting smaller in a lot of ways," the 26-year-old actress said here at a youth fest.
Sonam, considered to be a style icon for the youths, feels India has a great future because of the young population in the country.
"India is predominantly a youthful nation. When you are younger, you are more idealistic and you want to strive for a better future for ourselves. I think we have an amazing future because we are such a young nation," she said..
Sonam's last release was "Players". She is currently working on Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", in which she will be seen with Farhan Akhtar. – IANS

Love is in the air in Bollywood, especially for the cutest pair of Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza who have decided to take their relationship to the next level. The couple will tie the knot Feb 3.
After hiding their relationship in the past and by stating "we are just good friends" now finally Riteish has spoken up about his love life. After seven years, the two actors are coming together in "Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya" which is expected to hit theatres Feb 24.
Riteish told IANS that Genelia kept him on his toes in the film. "No matter how well you know that person but when it comes to the professional level it's a different person and that's a wonderful part. Suddenly, when you work with a competent actor it's challenging. Genelia always keeps me on my toes. Every day I feel that I can do better than her but she kicks my ass."
Riteish, who has some wonderful films to his credit, felt that Genelia was a better actor than him. "I think Genelia is a better actor than me."
Riteish firmly protested that marriage was not going take away his freedom from him. "I don't think there is any sort of fear that my freedom will go for a toss."
"I think when you are seeing each other for so long the question of freedom doesn't arise. You tend to know each other so much, besides we both have been very private," he said.
"We tried to give dignity to our relationship in the privacy that we maintained," Riteish said.
The actor can't stop himself from praising his better half-to-be. On what made him feel that Genelia was the one for him, he said: "One out of the many, I like Genelia's smile and energy. She is very vibrant and energetic. As an actor she has an immense amount of energy in her."
Will a real life couple click as a reel life pair. Riteish said: "I remember a friend of mine telling me that when real life couple comes on screen together some people feel that the chemistry between them would come naturally."
As a couple you tend to say a lot of stuff in one line because you know that person well and understand. But in a film you try to convey this to a third person, he said.
"On the other hand, there is a certain amount of comfort on the sets and some amount of liberty you get," Riteish said. – IANS

Some few months back, actress Priyanka Chopra had revealed her intentions to bring out her debut album. Now, the actress says that she is ready with her first single which would be released soon. However, she wont be releasing the entire album in one go.
Says Priyanka, "It's one of the biggest achievements of my life. I'd always wanted to be a singer. My father (Dr Ashok Chopra) inspired me big time. And now, everything has fallen into place. We should be bringing out our first single around spring-summer. Then, we'd drop another single in a month or two and so on. We won't be releasing the entire album together because that's not how music artistes function in the US. They bring out singles."
Elaborating further on her decision to bring out singles, the actress says, "There's nothing wrong with bringing out singles. We all enjoy it when an international artiste cuts one. Why can't I?"

Gul Panag: Best wishes!!
Meanwhile, astro-numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi suggests a Shanti Puja for the new born. He analyzes, "The child was born on January 20 which maker a Number 2 (Moon) person in numerology. She is a Capricorn (ruler Saturn – Number 8) while her destiny number also adds up to the same number which means the girl is doubly ruled by 'shani' which is a positive and not-so-positive sign. Since she is ruled by Number 2, she is automatically ruled by Number 7 (Ketu) as these two numbers always go hand in hand".
"Talking about her stars, she is born under the 'Jyestha Nakshatra' which is considered inauspicious and a 'shanti puja' for the same needs to conducted as soon as possible" advices Bhavikk very strongly.
"Also, in her sixth house, she has 'Chandra (Moon) and Rahu' placed together which makes it a 'Grahan Yog' affecting health (especially pain in the legs), defeat from enemies and losses leading to bad debts. Also, the presence of 'Ketu' in the twelfth house indicates 'Pitrudosh' which may curtail success in the long run. To eradicate these 'doshas', a puja needs to be done at earliest and make her wear a 'Blue Sapphire' (only after testing) at a later stage", Bhavikk adds further.
