Esha Gupta doesn't compare herself with Bipasha Basu

Coming together of two sexy actresses in the same frame is bound to fetch attention from everyone around, not for their work but terms off screen.

And the current talks are going on for Esha Gupta and Bong beauty Bipasha Basu. It is notable that post making her debut in town with Jannat 2, Esha is now gearing up for the thrilling Raaz 3 where she gets to share screen space with Emraan Hashmi and Bips. While people might feel that Esha is wary of Bips’ presence in the film but the former denies it completely.       

Esha says, “I am pretty confident and I know where I am today. I don't want to compare myself with Bipasha. Even when we are sharing screen space, the only thing that I make sure is that I don't lack anywhere”. Though she admits sharing screen space with established actors like Emraan and Bipasha did put some pressure on her.

"I had pressure on me as Bipasha and Emraan are great actors but apart from that I didn't care so much because Bipasha is Bipasha and the whole country recognizes her. I still get shocked when people start recognizing me," she said.

She added, "For me, it (Raaz 3) was one of the best films to work in. It was a conscious effort to do this. Of course, I had pressure as I was not sure whether I will be able to pull it”.

Part proceeds from auction of Jism2 wardrobe to go to PETA, declares Pooja Bhatt
Last we informed you all that Pooja Bhatt, director of Jism 2, has decided to auction clothes that Jism 2 cast will wear in the film, but that time we didn’t tell you what was the intention behind doing it and where the money will be used.

Well, here we are with the update, it is learnt that the decision to auction the clothes has been taken so the money earned by it can be given to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Jism 2, a sequel to Bipasha Basu and John Abraham-starrer 2003 release Jism, stars Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh.

"Part proceeds from the auction of Jism2 wardrobe to go to PETA India! Woof- Woof indeed," said a post on Jism 2 Twitter page. Jism 2 director Pooja Bhatt confirmed the same by re-tweeting it.

Poorva Joshipura, PETA India's chief functionary, praised Pooja for extending the support. "Pooja Bhatt, Sunny Leone, and co-producer Dino Morea are all already supporters of PETA's homeless dog adoption campaign. We give Pooja Bhatt and the entire Jism 2 team two paws up for taking that initiative further by making PETA India a beneficiary of the Jism 2 wardrobe auction," Joshipura said in a statement.

Well, now we can say, good job Pooja!

Sunny Leone is sweating hard for Jism 2

Sunny Leone is sweating hard for Jism 2
Pooja Bhatt and her team of erotica Jism 2 is quite busy with the film’s shooting in Sri Lanka. Ever since the film has gone on floors, it has been bagging news from all corners.

First it was the inclusion of porn star Sunny Leone as the female lead in this much waited sequel to Jism starring John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. Then it was the recent declaration made by Pooja whereby she has decided to put the costumes of her Jism 2 actors under the hammer (lingerie specifically). As a director Pooja is making sure that the film gets the maximum attention far ahead of its release.

And it’s not just Pooja who is toiling hard for the film as her leading lady Sunny too is sweating hard for her debut venture in Bollywood. Sources say that Sunny is leaving no stone unturned in giving her best shots for the film. Right from donning a sultry look sporting a bikini or getting cozy with actor Randeep Hooda in bed, Sunny is on her toes all the time and is giving all her focused attention to Jism 2.

Recently she is said to have undergone a raunchy photo shoot which will be further used for the film’s promotional campaigns. Sources claim that Sunny perfectly knows the art of playing with the camera and this art of hers is surely going to help her be the show stealer.

Other than that, she is even putting a lot of effort in learning the dialect perfectly so that she justifies the role completely.

Well, with all the hard work put in, it seems Sunny is all set to outperform!

 Another Bollywood hunk is set to take the plunge this year and he is none other than John Abraham. The handsome actor has given a confirmation that he will be marrying this girlfriend of few months, Priya Runchal, anytime this year.

With a smile on his face, John reveals, "Priya and I have decided to get married this year." He met her last April, and knew he wanted a happily-ever-after two months later. And he laughs off rumours that they were married in Los Angeles a few months ago.

John says the wedding bells could ring in a week or a few months. "I know it will be this year, but I don't know when. It could be in a few months or a few weeks. I am a very impulsive guy. So I might decide to get married next week! It's possible that our wedding may have just 10 people, if we include close family," the Force star told the sources.

However, he is troubled by the rumours that he began seeing her while he was still with Bipasha Basu. "I met Priya through a common friend, there was an instant connection. I can talk to her about anything. Ours is a very honest relationship. We can tell each other everything. That's a benchmark for a healthy relationship."

Well John as they say, when it’s right, it’s right. We wish the couple good luck!
