Frankly, I have no clue. I guess, I am going to have to find that out.

"I read today the following account by a very respected journalist called Rahul Bedi and the memories flooded back. Please brace yourself before reading it, and if any of you have memories of that event, please write in. It's important we remember," he wrote. 

Neil Nitin Mukesh’s love interest is no longer kept out of view. That the girl in question Priyanka Bhatia is very much part of the Mukesh parivar became evident on the night of November 2 when at the Fame Adlabs at a private screening of Jail, Priyanka was prominently present alongside Neil’s parents and brother Naman.

Neil mother and girlfriend sobbed uncontrollably throughout.

“Priyanka and my mom were hysterical with grief. They weren’t looking at just a character being put through a traumatic time. To them it was someone who they both love in pain in front of their eyes,” said Neil.

Neil admits Priyanka is an integral part of his family. “My parents and her parents don’t only know and like one another we also visit one another’s homes constantly. More than lovers we’re friends first. There’s a comfort level in our interaction that makes us very relaxed with one another. We don’t have to hide anything. We meet openly and are very proud of one another. There’s no pressure for marriage on either side. When it happens, it happens. The marital status on the passport would hardly alter anything between us.”

Priyanka has done a course in fashion designing. Neil is open to the idea of Priyanka designing his clothes for his films. “I’d love that. But it should happen on its own. Neither Priyanka nor I want to pressurize anyone to use her skills. But if it happens I’d be very happy to be dressed up by her.”

Another happy happening is the fact that Neil’s colleague Ranbir Kapoor’s film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani releases on the same day as Neil’s Jail.

Says Neil, “Ranbir and I are of course competitors. But there’s no negative rivalry between us. Our respective fathers would kill us if we behaved like two brats fighting for the same roles. I’m proud that Ranbir’s and my grandfather were very close friends. My father and Ranbir’s father adore each other. Ranbir is like my younger brother.”

So is Neil saying Ranbir is no competition?

“Of course he is!” rejoins Neil. “I’d want Ranbir’s film to do as well as mine. Fortunately Jail and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani look like the North and South pole.”

On Tuesday night all of Neil’s forthcoming directors saw Jail at Yashraj Studios, “David Dhawan, Abbas-Mustan, Kunal Kohli and Ken Ghosh saw the film. I think they liked what they saw. So I’m safe in their films.”

He’s synonymous with realistic cinema and has won three National Awards by creating his own distinct style. He is none other than the maverick film director Madhur Bhandarkar, who started his career with Trishakti, which went unnoticed, but that didn’t bother him. After 2 years, he made the film ‘Chandni Bar’ featuring Tabu and Atul Kulkarni which turned Madhur Bhandarkar overnight into a top league director. Thereafter, he directed films which had hard hitting subjects to name a few are Traffic Signal, Page 3, and Fashion attaining the tag of a realistic filmmaker.

His latest is ‘Jail’ which also reveals the darker side of the four walls of prison. A lot of hype was created before the release of the film; however, post release the initial box office reports are not in favor of the film, still Madhur is very much confident about the fate of ‘Jail’. Let’s see what he has to say post the release of ‘Jail’ in this exclusive interview with us.

What are the responses you got post the release of Jail?

I’m getting good responses from all quarters of India. Everyone is calling and congratulating me and also are appreciating the film.

What are the expectations that you had with the movie?

I didn’t have any expectation as I knew I’m making a film with immense sincerity. But, I’m sure people have lot of expectation from my film which I hope gets fulfilled.

What is the best compliment that you got after the release of the movie?

One amazing compliment that I got was, “Crime rate will go down after watching this film.” Besides that, many people said it’s very much a realistic film.

Any plan to send Jail in the festival circuit?

Definitely, we will send ‘Jail’ in all the festivals.

After Jail, which hard hitting subject you are looking to explore?

Right now, I’m planning to take break.

Milind Soman has two Tamil movies, one Marathi and two Hindi films lined up. The supermodel-turned-actor, who is currently busy giving tips to young aspiring models on a reality show, says he loves to work with "different cultures and languages".

"I like acting and to me, the kind of film, where it is made, which language, is of secondary importance. I like working with different cultures, different languages, from all over India and all over the world," Milindsaid in an e-mail interview.

He says he has worked on "two Hindi movies, two Tamil movies and one Marathi film" this year. His regional projects include Vithagan and Paiyya in Tamil and Marathi film Gandh (smell).

In the past too, the actor has worked in Tamil films and also featured in Swedish film Arn - The Kingdom at Road's End and Pan Nalin's cross-over film Valley of Flowers.

Now Milind is back to the small screen, which catapulted him to fame as popular sci-fi hero Captain Vyom in the late 1990s.

But this time, he isn't acting. He is anchoring as well as judging a show The Hunt For The Kingfisher Calendar Girl 2010 on NDTV Good Times. The reality series, on air for a week, is a hunt for a sexy model, who will be a fresh face in the annual calendar launched by business tycoon Vijay Mallya. The show airs every Friday at 10 pm IST.

The actress is now only hoping that her younger sister Shamita Shetty, who is a participant on reality show "Bigg Boss 3", comes out to be with her in the "last few days at home". Shilpa will have a quiet wedding ceremony with close friends and family Nov 22 and has plans for a lavish reception two days later.
