She played an angel in ‘Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic’, and now actress Rani Mukerji will be attempting another exceptional role as she plays a cricketer in Yash Raj Films’ next venture, hence she is busy active on the field.
‘I don’t know if any actress has played a cricketer before. But I’m playing one for sure. In fact, I’ve been learning cricket regularly on the field for the past two months. I can most certainly play the game convincingly now, though not as good as professionals yet. It’s a very big challenge for me,‘ Rani informed.
Her male lead will be Shahid Kapur with whom she will be making a maiden move.
‘Also, for the first time I was playing a character who couldn’t cry. Now they can stop saying Rani cries so much in all her films. It was pretty cool to play a character who actually doesn’t know how to cry and who had to fly around like Hrithik Roshan in ‘Krrish’.’ Said the amused Rani.
‘It required a lot of physical strength to assume the correct ‘flying’ posture on the harness. I guess it’d be equally difficult for me to look convincing as a cricketer. But I’m glad to be doing work with challenges.’
On being asked is she not worried over being the eternal Yash Raj heroine , Rani said winking that ‘Why? Wasn’t ‘Saawariya’ with Sanjay Leela Bhansali? And if Yash Raj is making some of the best films in our country why should I keep out just because people are talking?
Rani is troubled over her hype on marriage by the media, so she deceitfully asked ‘Incidentally, my marriage date Feb 10 (as reported by some media) has come and gone. Would mediapersons like to set another date for me so I can start getting my trousseau ready?’
Well Rani, you cant ever stop gossipmongers! If you stop them how they will continue their flames smoldering?

Belgaum beauty Lakshmi Rai is opposing articles on her association with cricket star Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Rumors round in media that Lakshmi Rai has an ‘affectionate’ association with Dhoni and two were worn out some time at a beach side star hotel a week ago. Later, Dhoni joined the birthday party of Lakshmi Rai and spent the whole nightfall with her.
In turn, Rai was habitually seeing all the matches played by Chennai Super Kings at the MAC Stadium in addition to was seen anchoring cheerfully for her ‘favourite” cricketer. After seen all these advancements, media came to a deduction and advertised accounts on their own.
Rai said the way the media had been targeting her is quite unfair. “First, they published ‘exclusives’ on me and linked with a co-star and now with famous cricketer Dhoni. I don’t know from where they manage to get such kind of gossips. Maintaining a good friendship with cricket stars like Dhoni is not a sin. It is a pride to a fan like me.”

Former cricketer-turned- politician Navjot Singh Sidhu believes Kolkata’s and Chennai IPL teams are the most unprejudiced and tough teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
“Shah Rukh’s and the Chennai team is the strongest if we compare the players on the paper. But I will put my money on the Mohali team to hold the championship trophy as I am a Punjabi,” Sidhu reacted.
Speaking at the launch of a reality show on a television channel, he said, IPL was a revolution and it had taken the world by storm and was for the betterment of players.
“It (IPL) will change the face of the world cricket. No one would have imagined that so many runs could be scored in a 40 over game. Nowadays, nobody wants to sit and watch cricket for five days. Mr Pawar is like Formula One driver Michael Schumacher who has taken the cricket in a fast lane.”
“Look at players like Pankaj Dharmani who is getting Rs 50 lakhs a year. I used to get Rs 4,000 to play a Ranji match,” said Sidhu, the Member of Parliament from Amritsar.
Asked about the future of Indian Cricket League after the launch of IPL, he said, “ICL ka to band baj gaya (ICL has been ruined completely.)”
But he hinted that Twenty20 might lose viewer’s interest after some time with the launch of similar tournaments in future.
“T20 is like a maggy sauce. Each season it has different flavour. It’s a grand success and people are liking it because it is the first edition but may be after some point of time they will start losing interest with the coming of many tournaments like IPL,” said Sidhu.
