Hrithik Goes the Saif Way!

It’s not been long since Saif was hospitalized for over exhaustion and now Hrithik Roshan too is ill. He has been working round the clock for Jodha Akbar and also coming back to Mumbai from Karjat for rehearsals for the Film Fare performance. Also he recently flew to Singapore to shoot an ad commercial and on coming back he has been struck down with a bout of severe viral fever.
Hrithik says that he is completely bed ridden now, speaking from his home on Wednesday. He says that he had fever for quite some days in the past but had been trying to keep a hold on it with paracetamol tablets owing to professional commitments. However, the saturation point came and he couldn’t help but lie down on the bed. Saif’s condition has really become an example for all stars to keep away from. He says that regular sessions at the gym and then grueling sword fight sessions for Jodha Akbar have taken its toll on him.

Vidya Balan in Krrish sequel

Guess who will star opposite Hrithik Roshan in the Krrish sequel? None other than Vidya Balan, on a roll after Lage Raho Munnabhai.
The actress, who seems to be everywhere these days, will be taking over from Preity Zinta (Koi Mil Gaya) and Priyanka Chopra (Krrish).
Producer-director Rakesh Roshan is leaving no stone unturned to make the third part bigger and better than the previous two and will again rope in foreign expertise for dare-devil stunts.
The film is expected to go on the floors towards the end of 2007.

Hrithik looking for a bro-in-law?

If all goes well, Hrithik Roshan's sister Sunaina may soon find the man of her dreams. Scarred by two bad relationships in the past, has not deterred her from seeking love again. "I want a man like Hrithik to be my husband," she says. Ask Sunaina why she is not accompanying her sister-in-law Susanne and mother to the Bachchan's house for the karwa Chauth celebrations and she says, "I have to find a man to keep Karvachauth for, first!"It was just last year when things seemed to be falling into place for Sunaina. After ending an eight-year-long bad marriage, Sunaina had got engaged to a Detroit-based NRI called Nick Udaysingh. "That was a big mistake," she says. "Two days after my engagement in Detroit, my family got to know that the man was having an affair with his brother's wife. It's funny, but I had sensed it, and even told my dad. It was only later that a relative confirmed it." The experience has changed Sunaina's perspective on a lot of things. "Before that, I always wanted to marry outside India. But after that incident, my entire family was shaken, and now I'll never marry outside the country," she says.
