Akshay Kumar addicted to Sonakshi's tiffin

Posted: 07 Jan 2013 11:04 AM PST


A disciplined eater, Akshay Kumar has lunch at around 11.45 am. When shooting, he usually eats a home-cooked vegetarian meal with just the right amount of calories.

However, when he shoots with Sonakshi Sinha — they're currently co-starring in a South remake — the diet takes a backseat as he indulges in Sonakshi's mother Punam Sinha's cooking.

Punam's fish preparations and the Sindhi kadi are legendary. Keeping her daughter Sonakshi's strict diet regime in mind, Punam makes very low-cal food, preferring to steam the fish, with brown rice accompanying it.

The star-mother is also thoughtful enough to pack for her co-stars as well.

Akshay apparently is so addicted to the food that the moment she lands on the set, his first question to her is, "What has your mother packed in your tiffin?"

And when it's time for his meal, the actor's spot boy promptly fishes (pun intended) out Sona's tiffin for his boss.

Top 100 from 2012’s playlist

Posted: 07 Jan 2013 10:47 AM PST



In the Bollywood music space, more singles were released in 2012 through links on the net, than ever before, and sealing the deal was the official launch of iTunes in India, enabling Indians to now legally own a song for as little as `12.
And while there were lots of very successful songs, there were very few successful albums. Cocktail and Barfi! were perhaps the two most prominent examples that bucked that trend.

While the fight for consumer attention and admiration intensifies with each passing year, the one place it all gets captured and measured most authentically is Radio Mirchi's annual year-end countdown, "The Mirchi Top 100". Commenting on this much-anticipated annual radio event, Prashant Panday, ED and CEO of Radio Mirchi, India's leading Radio Network says, "Mirchi Top 100 has become the true Gold-Standard in Bollywood music over the last 10 years. We believe that it's the most scientifically crafted countdown, which captures consumer tastes and trends most comprehensively."

India's most preferred song, according to Mirchi Top 100, was Tumhi Ho Bandhu from Cocktail, making it the song of the year. Following closely was The Disco Song from Student Of The Year. Ala Barfi from Barfi! was the third favourite song and Agent Vinod's Pungi bagged the fourth position. Chinta Ta Chita Chita from Rowdy Rathore came fifth in this list.

Tapas Sen, chief programming officer, Radio Mirchi, said, "This is the true report card of Bollywood music. Not only among the consumers/listeners, Mirchi Top 100 also enjoys tremendous credibility even in the industry and the trade. It is almost like the official listings of the fraternity".

Pritam, who has four songs in top 10 of Mirchi Top 100, said, "In 2009, I had three songs in Mirchi Top 100 in the top 10. In 2011, I didn't do too much good work, but in 2012, 50% of Mirchi Top 10 are my songs, which I think is my biggest achievement!" Shekhar of Vishal and Shekhar said, "Huge thanks to Mirchi listeners for making the songs of SOTY so popular. Mirchi Top 100 is what everyone in the music fraternity looks forward to and I am very happy that Mirchi listeners have liked our work."

An excited Ayushmann Khurrana said, "I couldn't believe that people have accepted this song so much because I am not really a trained singer." Amit Trivedi, whose song Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu is in Top 10, said, "This is the song that I felt would be in the top 10, over Auntiji from the same album. I thank all the Mirchi listeners."
Radio Mirchi does a weekly countdown of Bollywood music Saturdays, and it attempts to capture the music consumption pattern and trends among listeners exhaustively.
