Aruna Irani falls for bears and bulls

Veteran actress Aruna Irani is said to be playing a troublemaker on the sets of Zee TV’s “Sanjog Se Bani Sangini” as she keeps disappearing from the shoot to spend time with her new love - stock market.

The 58-year-old sneaks out and hits her laptop to keep a tab on the latest in the stock market.

“Members of the production team had to go in search of her and they found her in her vanity van checking out the stock market on her snazzy new laptop! Just the other day she was heard telling someone ‘Mujhe computer operate nahi karna aata, bas stock market dekhna aata hai! (I don’t know how to operate a computer properly, but I can check the stock market!)’,” said a source.

Will Mr. India turn Mogambo?

Anil Kapoor shaved his moustache and chest hair to play a teenage boy in “Lamhe”. But when it comes to going bald for Rajkumar Santoshi’s “Power”, the seasoned actor is in two minds.

“That’s one of the options, but I’m not quite sure about it yet,” said Anil, who played the title role in the hit sci-fi movie “Mr. India”, where Amrish Puri sported a bald mane as iconic villain Mogambo.

Anil will be seen in a pivotal role in Santoshi’s underworld saga, which will also star Bollywood megasatar Amitabh Bachchan.
