In the coming episode of Simi’s chat show 'Simi Selects India's Most Desirable,' Bollywood’s noted actor Abhay Deol would be making a confession about his personal life. The actor is said to have revealed that he might not get married but settle down in a live in relationship.

The actor, who is in a live in relationship with his girlfriend, model-turned-actress Preeti Desai, said that he has no plans to get married in the future.

“I think marriage is a cultural thing, it's my opinion that nature doesn't tell someone to get married. I may or may not get married but I will settle down in a live-in,” said the actor on the show.

Actor-director Farhan Akhtar has thanked his lyricist dad, Javed Akhtar, for writing some impeccable dialogues laced with poetry for the just released Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara in which he plays one of the protagonists.

"It's so fantastic that everyone loves the poems in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Thank you pa @Javedakhtarjadu for injecting soul into the film with your gifted hand," Farhan wroted on his Twitter page.

Directed by Farhan's sister Zoya Akhtar, the movie released Friday also features actors Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol and Kalki Koechlin and has received a warm response from the audience.

Filmmaker Karan Johar seems to have liked the film so much that he is asking everyone to watch it.

"Please go watch ZNMD....NOW!!!! Zoya has pulled off a tough genre with utmost sincerity and flamboyance...zoya is the hero of the film!!!,(Sic)" Karan posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Katrina Kaif, The sensational actress who turned 27 yesterday (16th July, 2011), had not just one but two reasons to party.

While it was her birthday and also the second day of her latest film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara that released on 15th July garnering great reviews.

Though the actress didn't divulge about her celebration plans, she shared some facts talking about the gifts that she wants this year. Kat said, "I am hoping my film does well. That will be the best birthday gift."

Last year, the actress had spent her birthday in Spain while shooting for the film. But the film's success is not all that Kat is wishing for this birthday. Apparently, it's a bike that Katrina desperately wants.

Just recently, Amitabh Bachchan expressed his desire to own a Harley Davidson, which he rode in his film Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap and now Kat wants one too.

Incidentally Katrina has driven a bike in her latest flick Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and has ever since wanted to own a bike. She said, "I secretly wish that I was a biker. I loved riding the bike in ZNMD and I wish to get one. I hope my co-stars Hrithik, Abhay and Farhan gift me one," she said with a naughty smile.

Well, we wonder what Kat will do if she gets the bike. For if she rides it on the streets, the traffic infested roads will only get all the more worse!

Actress Katrina Kaif, who usually remains tight-lipped about her relationship status, told a fan that she is currently enjoying her time with family and that Salman Khan is her good friend.

During a chat with her fans on Airtel's "Talk2Me" platform, when the 26-year-old was quizzed about her relationship, she said: "At the moment I am just with my family and nothing going on like that."

When a fan said that people feel she looks good with Salman Khan, the British-born actress said: "Ya, he is a good friend of mine."

The two were reportedly seeing each other but broke off last year.

The actress is currently busy promoting her upcoming film "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", also starring Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar and Kalki Koechlin. The film directed by Zoya Akhtar will hit the screens Friday.

Close on the heels of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan announcing her pregnancy, another married actress is under the scanner.

While the lean and beautiful Kalki Koechlin is busy promoting her new film, Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara, her recent absence from a couple of events have sparked off rumors that there's something brewing, after all.

Add to the fact that her husband, director-actor Anurag Kashyap, has clearly stated he would like to expand his family, and the whispers seem legitimate.

There were also unconfirmed reports that Kalki was visibly unwell at a recent event, making tongues wag again. However, a source close to the actress has rubbished those claims, stating that the bubbly actress was just the victim of a monsoon stomach bug.

Sounds like a case of "there's no smoke without fire", but until we hear it straight from the horse's mouth, we'll just wait to offer our best wishes.

Hrithik Roshan has just returned after a grueling month-long schedule of Agneepath in Diu to the news that he is trying to pressurise Zoya Akhtar, director of his forthcoming movie, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, to tone down the sizzling chemistry between Katrina Kaif and him and leave a steamy kiss out on the editing table.

Rubbishing rumours, the star says, “The song revolves around five friends (Katrina, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Kalki and Hrithik) and there are no moments between Katrina and me there. But yes, there’s a kiss and I believe that if you’re going to risk your life and jump off a building, you bloody well should make it look convincing. Unless you are honest during such moments of physical intimacy, you will appear uncomfortable and guilty on screen. When you see the lead pair in an English movie kissing, it’s rarely offensive or ‘a bit much’. That’s because of the conviction in their performance.”

Negating reports of creative differences with Zoya, Hrithik points out that she’s the only director, apart from his dad (Rakesh Roshan), with whom he’s done two movies — Luck By Chance (2009) and ZNMD, and the only female director he’s worked with: “Zoya is an artiste who doesn’t feel the need to conform to a herd mentality. She is always thinking out of the box and trying to figure out how to do things differently.”

Hrithik admits that he’s always wanted to take a road trip but it wasn’t till he piled into a car with ZNMD co-stars that he experienced the heady joy of seeing the world. “

Katrina Kaif made an exception in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and kissed Hrithik Roshan in a sequence. However, not again!

Actor Abhay Deol thinks he cannot sing! And that is what put music composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy ill at ease. For his upcoming movie Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara, Abhay was made to sing for a track. While Abhay’s fans will be in for a treat to hear the actor sing, it wasn’t a cake walk for the musicians, who had a tough time with the actor. “Making Abhay sing was quite a task,” recalls Shankar Mahadevan.

“It was very difficult to make him (Abhay) sing. He has never sung in his life before, hence he was quite wary about singing,” adds Shankar.

Apparently, the actor was too unnerved when told to record a song. So how did the trio get Abhay to record the song? “We played smart,” quips Shankar. “We told him that we are not recording and that it is just a rehearsal. It kind of made him feel comfortable and he opened up and started singing, while we were recording it simultaneously,” he adds.

Besides Abhay, his costars — actors Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar — too have lent their voice for the film. And while Abhay was freaking out at the thought of singing, Hrithink and Farhan were all at ease. “Hrithik is a fabulous singer… very confident too. We didn’t have to work too much on him. And regarding Farhan, we have already worked with him for all the tracks in the film Rock On,” Shankar says.

True indeed, as sources suggest, is the fact that London based Preeti Desai initially considered coming down to India to give acting a shot, because that is what - 'The Badshah of Bollywood' - Shah Rukh Khan himself suggested to her.
