They say love is blind. Perhaps endorsing this philosophy, some of our stars and starlets have expressed their fancy for some famous personalities, very different from themselves. And not just restraining themselves at romance, they have even gone a step ahead to picture themselves actually tying the knot with their objects of affection. Looking beyond the bleak chances of their matrimonial union, it has provided enough fodder for us to have a hearty laugh on, if nothing else....

Poonam Pandey's debut film 'Nasha' is garnering enough buzz around it's release. Director Amit Saxena, who makes a comeback 10 years after 'Jism', talks about his experience working with newcomers Poonam Pandey and Shivam Patil, his ten-year long sabbatical, his future projects, 'Nasha 2' and more...

Your last film 'Jism' with Bipasha Basu was an erotic thriller and so is your next film 'Nasha' with Poonam Pandey...
It's just a lovely co-incidence. I worked on two films after 'Jism', one was comedy and other was a rom-com. But unfortunately, they didn't get released. Then this project came in my lap and it's just a coincidence that this too is an erotic thriller.

     Strip queen Poonam Pandey is currently in Bangalore. The Nasha actress is in the city to shoot for her item number in the Rajesh-starrer Love is Poison. According to a source, Poonam will spend the weekend meeting the media, as well as choreographer Tribhuvan to plan the moves for her dance routine. "The actual shoot for the song will start on Monday," says producer Somshekhar.  Meanwhile, the buzz in Gandhinagar is that Poonam agreed to be a part of the film, which has Rajesh (of Jungle Jackie fame) in the lead, because she was paid a bomb for it, with industry sources pegging it at a whopping Rs 60 lakh.
One wonders, though, why Poonam would make her Kannada debut in a film with Rajesh and a source tells us. "Poonam has heard that Rajesh hails from a tribal region in Karnataka. And since she has participated in the show Khatron Ke Khiladi, in which she had to live in tribal conditions, she found it exciting to meet Rajesh and interact with him," says the source.
