Jacqueline's Gulf connection
That Jacqueline Fernandes has someone special in Bahrain where her parents live.
The Aladin actress, who spent her growing up years in the Gulf, had kept her guy a closely-guarded secret which is now out. Guess Genelia can heave a sigh of relief after all that Riteish and Jacqui link-up buzz.

Jacqueline ‘fleas’ to Delhi markets
It seems Jacqueline Fernandez has developed a special liking for apni Dilli. The pretty lass has been touring the city quite often.
Well, when we began to err... count, we got to know – three visits in less than 15 days, and we are still counting. Ab dekho, she came twice to the Couture Week only! “Oh yes, I know. Too many launches and inaugurations,” she says, “But I am happy to be here each time I come.” So we were wondering what does she like to do when she comes here? A strong sense of deja vu when we heard her reply. “I just love Delhi. How can you miss the nice weather when you come here? And the food is so amazing. By now, I’m quite familiar with most of the hotels here,” she said.
But we were surprised to hear that she was quite familiar with the flea markets of the city. “Sarojini Nagar is a really cool place to shop at; I just love going there.” Does she know the art of bargaining too, like all those who shop there? “I try each time, but fail miserably, and end up paying the asked price,” she sighs, and adds, “Khan Market is the other cool place that I browse through when I am here.” Hmm, now we know where to find Jacqueline next time she is in the capital.

Jacqueline Fernandez loves Indian weddings
Sri Lankan actress Jacqueline Fernandez, who made her Bollywood debut with 'Aladin', says she is fascinated by big-fat Indian weddings and would love to attend one."I am very fascinated by Indian weddings, I have not attended any so far, but I would love to attend one soon," Jacqueline said.
The 26-year-old was in Delhi as the brand ambassador of the wedding exhibition Shagunn that will take place August 21-22 at the Ashoka hotel.
"Being part of a wedding exhibition like this, introduces us to the whole fascinating world of elaborate Indian weddings and all that goes behind the preparations," she added.
The former Miss Sri Lanka, who teamed up with Riteish Deshmukh in 'Alladin' and 'Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai', denied rumours that she was dating her co-star.
"You know, it's you people who cook up all these stories. Before the release of the movie, you will hear stories like this only - the co-stars are dating each other. In our case same thing happened," said Jacqueline.
But the rumours didn't stop her from praising Riteish.
"It is always comfortable to work with a co-star who is a friend first. So we share a comfort level. Apart from that he is a very wonderful person and a talented actor," she said.
Shagunn, a two-day wedding exhibition, will have collections showcased by designers including Adarsh Gill, Charu Parashar, and Mandira Wirk.

Who's the latest item girl?
She grooves to a remix of the classic song 'Apni Toh Jaise Taise' in 'Housefull'
Jacqueline Fernandes' career as a heroine didn't start off with a bang (we're still reeling from her turn in 'Aladdin'), and she's stunned us with her single smiley expression in 'Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai'. But she might just have found her niche now. Jacqueline features in the remix of the classic song 'Apni Toh Jaise Taise' in the upcoming Akshay Kumar starrer 'Housefull', and we have to admit she looks quite stunning. She goes all out-glam in the song and dances with Akshay and Riteish Deshmukh. The music's by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, and the choreography is by Farah Khan. So we hope to see a dancing side of Jacqueline that's more fun than watching her act.

B.O. update: Excellent start of 'Prince' takes industry by surprise
I've always said, box-office is most unpredictable and that's the beauty of this business. The industry was confident that Kumar Taurani's PRINCE, starring Vivek Oberoi and directed by debutante Kookie Gulati, would embark on a thanda start at the ticket window, but its excellent start caught the industry completely unaware. The opening shows were in 50% to 70% range and at places, even better [packed to capacity].After MY NAME IS KHAN, not a single film had registered a bountiful start at the ticket window. But Kumar Taurani's superb promotional strategy and Vivek Oberoi's perseverance seem to have paid off.
The second release, JAANE KAHAN SE AAYI HAI, had a tepid start. However, the reports are decent and the film should gather momentum from Friday evening onwards.

MOVIE REVIEW: Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
Love stories seem to be the fav genre of dream merchants here. I've a hunch, if we ever do a count of romantic films made in Bollywood, it would easily score over other genres. The question is, how innovative can a love story get in today's times? Milap Zaveri provides the answer: Man from Earth, woman from Venus.Having penned some likable comic capers in the past [MASTI, HEYY BABYY], Milap's directorial debut JAANE KAHAN SE AAYI HAI has liberal doses of light moments dominating the first half of the film and heartache and reunion following soon after, in its post-interval portions.
JAANE KAHAN SE AAYI HAI works for its light moments mainly. It's bizarre to think of a love story between a human and an alien, but Milap garnishes it well with assorted characters, sets the story in the film industry and has several laugh-inducing moments. Resultantly, the first half is paisa vasool in filmi lingo.
But the problem arises when the focus shifts to the prem kahani in its second half. For, the story follows the trodden path [it becomes a love triangle] and embarks on the same old route that all love stories usually embark upon. If Milap had the courage to think out of the box, he should've ensured that the film remained true to its essence. Why didn't he think of an equally wacky second hour? Notwithstanding its predictable second half, JAANE KAHAN SE AAYI HAI is a decent watch that provides ample laughs.
JAANE KAHAN SE AAYI HAI is the story of Rajesh [Riteish Deshmukh], a simple Gujarati boy who's been looking for love since he was a baby. Thoroughly unsuccessful in his endeavours, he nearly gives up till he meets Natasha [Sonal Sehgal].
Desh [Ruslaan Mumtaz] is the youngest superstar in the country. Mothers want to adopt him and their daughters want to marry him. But when will he find the girl of his dreams? Their worlds turn upside down when Tara [Jacqueline Fernandez], an alien from Venus, lands on Earth in the search of true love.
Milap tickles your funny bone at the very outset. The story of a loser, his search for true love, his 'naughty' father, his 'oversexed' friend and his experiences at his work place [on a film set] bring a constant smile on your face. In fact, one of the key factors why the first half works is because the casting is just right and the actors carry off the assigned roles so well. But the second half fumbles because the story gets very old-fashioned. If the alien could travel all the way to earth to find love, why couldn't she profess love to the man she loves the most? Why develop human emotions all of a sudden?
This is Milap's directorial debut and he clearly shows a flair for comic entertainers. Sajid-Wajid's music is pleasant, with the title track standing out. Attar Singh Saini's cinematography is perfect.
Riteish enacts his part efficiently. That he's at home in comedy is well-known by now, but the actor is equally at ease in emotional moments and also romantic sequences. Jacqueline is easy on the eyes. In fact, she seems more comfortable this time. Vishal Malhotra is superb and contributes enormously in making the proceedings lively. Ruslaan carries the teen heart-throb look very well. Sonal Sehgal is competent. Farah Khan is a complete natural. Satish Shah is excellent. Supriya Pilgaonkar does well too. Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, Sajid Khan and Amrita Rao make special appearances in the film.
On the whole, JAANE KAHAN SE AAYI HAI is a light-hearted entertainer targeted at the youth. It has a thoroughly entertaining first half, but a routine second half. A decent watch!
RATING: 2.5/5
