Who was Sunny Leone dating five years back?

The Jism 2 babe is extremely committed to her husband Daniel Weber, but guess what Sunny had some interesting dates in the past

Sunny Leone had an interesting date five years back. This date is as popular as Ms Leone and no, he’s not a porn star! Sunny certainly has a funny bone coz the rumours about the Ragini MMS actor dating funnyman Russel Peters aren’t untrue after all. The 43 year old Indian origin Canadian standup comedian was quizzed about his alleged affair with Sunny recently at an event and he did confirm all the stories, “Yes, we did date each other. It was five-and-a-half-years ago. It was a wonderful time. She’s a real sweetheart, you know.”

What a sexy combination that must have been – beauty meets brains! While both have moved on in life, we cannot help but wonder if Mr Peters took as many jabs at his then date? One thing is clear Sunny certainly must have had a great sense of humour. After all don’t we know that Peters doesn’t even spare his parents or our very own Indian beauty queen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan!

How did Sonam Kapoor’s house hunt end?

An entire floor is being decked up for this Kapoor girl at her parents’ abode in Juhu

Earlier it was reported that Sonam Kapoor was on a house hunt. Apparently, she wanted a bigger space of her own to meet up with filmmakers to hear scripts and to hang out with friends and party. Now we hear that Sonam will have a floor to herself in her parents’ home in Juhu.

In fact, the Raanjhana babe has no intentions of moving out anytime soon. She says, “I cannot even imagine moving out and living without my parents till I marry.” So, her new apartment within her parents’ house will have a large bedroom with French windows in hues of green and white. Apart from a princess like room, she’ll have a walk-in wardrobe and a fancy hair-wash set up like the one found in salons! What more? Well, she will have an air-conditioned bathroom with a music system. Ooh la la… So, we can now expect even better appearances from this style diva, hai na?

Such a luxurious setup. But, Sonam was looking for a bigger place for hosting more parties and events. Being under her parents’ roof, we wonder if the fashionista will get to party the way she wanted. Just saying… you know!

No pardon, Sanjay Dutt to return to jail tomorrow!

The Centre’s Ministry of Home Affairs had asked the Maharashtra state government to consider reducing the sentence of Dutt on humanitarian grounds

Sanjay Dutt will spend this year’s Diwali in Yerawada Central Prison. He will return fromfurlough on October 30, confirmed the jail officials. After being imprisoned for 137 days at Yerawada prison, the incarcerated actor was released from jail on furlough for 14 days on October 1. It is learnt that due to some disease, blood clots have formed in Dutt’s legs, for which he is expected to undergo medical treatment.

Dutt is serving a 42-month sentence for his involvement in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case. He had surrendered before a special TADA court in Mumbai in May and was later shifted to Yerawada jail to serve the remainder of his term.

Deputy inspector general (prisons) Rajendra Dhamane said, “Dutt will be returning to jail by 5 pm on October 30.” The first day of Diwali festival begins on Thursday and Dutt will have to return to jail on Wednesday itself. In July, Dutt had appealed for 30-day parole on medical grounds which can be later extended to 90 days.

He was granted 14-day furlough that was later extended to another 14 days that will end on October 30. Divisional commissioner Prabhakar Deshmukh remained mum on the issue of granting parole on medical grounds to Dutt. Deshmukh has rejected the parole of Zaibunnisa Kazi (76) who is convicted in the same case and is lodged in the women cell of Yerawada Central Prison.

Is Shahrukh Khan producing the sequel to Manish Paul’s Mickey Virus?

The Chennai Express actor was not only impressed with Manish Paul’s debut but has also christened the sequel to his film. Read on…

Manish Paul’s Bollywood debut Mickey Virus hit the theatres last week and is doing quite well at the box office. At the film’s event, Shahrukh Khan was heard singing praises for Manish. He didn’t stop there. King Khan, with great honour named the sequel to Mickey Virus as Bittoo Bacteria. SRK said that generally films have names likeAzaad and Baazigar and what kind of name is Mickey Virus and then jokingly added that the sequel should be titled Bittoo Bacteria. Having said that, we wonder if SRK will produce the film.

What’s more, Shahrukh Khan wished that Manish Paul’s Mickey Virus seeks more crowd than what Chennai Express did at the Box Office. How sweet, no? He even praised Manish’s talent of being able to make people laugh. Considering SRK’s fondness for Manish and his talent, we won’t be surprised if he actually produces Bittoo Bacteria and ropes in Manish for the film. What say, BollywoodLifers?
