Mallika Sherawat gets trademarked

Mallika Sherawat gets trademarked
13th July 2008 09.00 IST
By ApunKaChoice

Imagine Bollywood bombshell Mallika Sherawat with that trademark stamp of encircled TM.
That has actually become a reality as far as Mallika’s name is concerned. Yes, the hot babe is in the process of acquiring the unique distinction of being the first Bollywood actress to get her name trademarked.
In layman’s language it means that her name cannot henceforth be used for commercial or publicity purposes. For example, if someone runs a beauty salon named Mallika Sherawat Beauty Parlour, or a shop named Mallika Sherawat Undergarments, the person might soon receive a legal notice from the actress’s lawyer for infringement of copyright.

Is Preity on verge of a break-up?
22 Jun 2008, 0000 hrs IST, AFSANA AHMED ,TNN

Cracks are apparently showing in the so far hunky-dory relationship between Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia.
Rumour is that the pert Bollywood actress, who has been dating the suave industrialist son of Maureen and Nusli Wadia for the past few years, is reportedly on the verge of another break-up.
And the reason being given by Bollywood insiders is Preity’s popularity and apparent rise on the social circuit as co-owner of Team Mohali during the recent IPL cricket tournament.

Maninee De is very busy!

At a time when almost every second television actress dreams of becoming a leading lady in Bollywood, Maaninee Misra comes as a pleasant surprise.
She minces no words when she says that she has no illusions about herself. "I’m in my early 30s, I have a kid and I’m happily married. I believe I’ve got more than I ever dreamt of," she says. For somebody who never thought that she will become an actress, Maaninee says that it doesn’t matter to her if she does not get to play lead roles, whether in films or on television.
