1. Ibrahim and Sara Ali Khan are well brought up!
)
People on the sets of Kedarnath and Simmba are fans of Sara Ali Khan because of her laughter that rings across the set, bringing a smile to others’ faces as well.
They find the superstar beti affable and polite. However, what’s most important is a comment from another superstar beta who said, “Ibrahim and Sara are very sorted and well-brought-up children. At least as of now, Sara seems to have no airs and is respectful of the people she meets.’’
Guess the credit for this should go to Amrita Singh. Needless to say, Saif Ali Khan himself is a good father and manages to spend quality time with his kids.

Recently, Vaani and Anaita travelled to London to source outfits that would be in sync with the former’s onscreen character. A source says, “Vaani plays a stylish dancer in the film and Anaita wants her look to become a talking point. So, both of them spent a couple of days in the UK capital handpicking the clothes accordingly.”
Touted to be one of the most expensive action films in Bollywood, the movie will be shot at multiple international locations and will release on October 2 next year.

4. Guess who: This heroine wants 'cash only' for her 'favours' to a producer
)
This is hilarious. Heard a producer who paid for favours was giving this ‘heroine’ cash instead of cheques. After demonetization, the actress stopped visiting the producer because she didn’t know what to do with all the cash he paid her. She wanted ‘white’ amounts to be credited directly to her account. But the producer wasn’t willing to oblige because he didn’t have a way to explain what were the services he was paying for.
