Ranbir becomes a bronze-statue

Check out the statue above, it’s Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor turned into a bronze statue for his flick Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.
Apparently Ranbir has a habit of talking to a bronze statue in his colony and later he realizes that the statue resembles him.

Director RajKumar Santoshi says,“When I explained to Ranbir the scenes, he was extremely enthusiastic about turning into a statue; even though the entire process of becoming one was tedious and painful. Once in make-up, Ranbir could only stand, there was no way he could even sit, forget lying down for those long hours. He had to keep on standing till all the shots were canned. Yet, he went through the paces with great zest.”

Ranbir was made into a statue after four-hours of make-up, a source says, “After the gruelling shoot, all that Ranbir could think was to move around. The freedom to move around after having stood like a stone at one place put him on a different high.”

Shiney Ahuja Gets Bail Finally

So finally after three long months in judicial custody, actor Shiney Ahuja who had been accused of raping his domestic help , has been granted bail on the surity of Rs.50,000 and the assurance that he will not leave India, but stay out of Mumbai for some time.

There is no clear evidence that Shiney had raped his maid,” said his lawyer Shirish Gupte.
The actor will be required to live in New Delhi and refrain from tampering with evidence in any manner, he said. “He will come to Mumbai every time there is a hearing,” Gupte said.

If the charges against him are proved in the court, Shiney faces a minimum seven-year jail sentence. Considering how slow our judiciary is, even in the fast track court proceedings, the trial would take six months!
