What's happening in Bollywood!

Salman Khan goes from moody to super friendly, Yukta Mookhey back on the ramp and Prachi and Tushaar are life partners!

All White: We like Salman Khan’s funky retro white sunglasses. Denim and white always works. We heard Salman was in a fantabulous mood and answered all the questions from the media very happily. Way to go, Sallu!

Long Time No See: Remember blue eyed Rajasthani Royal Nakuul Mehta from Haal-e-Dil that also launched Adhyayan Suman? It’s been a while since we saw Makrand Deshpande too.

Life Partner: Tushaar Kapoor and Prachi Desai have started promoting Life Partner by making appearances together. Tushaar’s friendship with Manish Malhotra ensures he doesn’t make a fashion faux pas. Prachi needs a stylist friend too. Her blue dress is cute but the transparent plastic sandals ruin the look. She should throw them right
away!

Back to the Ramp: Yukta Mookhey to the ramp once again for Scooty Teen Diva 2009. The former beauty queen opted for a loose fitting gown that would hide her bulges. We feel the gown should have been longer and she should have worn heels instead of flats.

New Collaboration? We wonder what happened to Ismail Darbar. None of his albums worked post Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Is he collaborating with Satish Kaushik for his next directorial feature? The duo was seen at a music launch.

Tusshar Kapoor collapses due to exhaustion and a low-carb diet

Tusshar Kapoor collapsed due to exhaustion and a poor diet last week. Though he is on road to recovery, he's still weak.

The actor says, "I have been advised bed rest but I intend to do a bit of dubbing for Run Bhola Run. This is the first time that I have fallen so ill. It's because of my low-carb diet. I was pushing my body to the limit."

Tusshar says he was on a diet to build a lean body for a photo shoot as he had to give body shots. "I was supposed to do it last month but the shoot kept getting postponed." He adds, "Though I have been on a similar diet before it has never been for so long. Moreover, I was playing squash too."

Tusshar did the photo shoot last Wednesday and went for dubbing later. The next day he collapsed. "I was down with a fever and cold and was also dehydrated.

I was so weak that I couldn't get up from my bed till I was given medication. The doctor advised rest and said that this was the result of over-exertion and the loss of immunity. I was not even able to life my body or head."

Now Tusshar has changed his diet. "I have lots of bagel sandwiches, Mughlai and tandoori food. I am allowed to binge once in a week. I haven't started working out but I plan to begin next week."

The diet that made him crash
Breakfast: Muesli, dry fruits and nuts.
Lunch: Grilled chicken or chicken dish without oil and some vegetables.
Evening: Egg whites
Dinner: Chicken and vegetables
No rice, chappatis or any sweets. Protein shakes throughout the day

Prachi uncomfortable with intimate scenes

Tusshar Kapoor says Prachi Desai, who stars opposite him in "Life Partner", was not comfortable doing intimate scenes with him and was too much into the "don't touch me" mode.

"She is just a 20-year-old girl yaar and a shy one at that," Tusshar said. "What could I have done other than wait for the passage of time? I tried talking to her and get into frequent chats. She was a lot into 'Don't touch me' and 'Don't get too close to me' mode," Tusshar told IANS.

"Even though she may not have said so all the time, I could make out that she was uncomfortable. I reasoned with her that though off camera she could be the way she wants, once the camera is rolling, there is nothing wrong if we get cosy," he added.

Tusshar plays Prachi's husband in the movie so it was near impossible for them to not have any intimate scenes. Ultimately director Rumi Jaffrey suggested that Tusshar to establish a friendship with her off the camera.

"This was during our very first schedule and a honeymoon sequence had to be shot. Looking at Prachi's discomfort, Rumi sir asked us to be at least friends off the camera as well. He made us have some dinners together so that we could open up further with each other," Tusshar said.

A crew member said on condition of anonymity: "For Tusshar, it was a precarious situation since he hadn't faced such situation before. However, in case of Prachi, he had to be extra cautious in front of the camera."

This comes as a surprise considering Prachi, who made her big screen debut as Farhan Akhtar's wife in "Rock On!", is quite close to his sister Ekta Kapoor and a regular visitor in their household.

Since his sister knows Prachi so well, isn't it natural that she shared a good relationship with him as well?

"This wasn't really the case", said Tusshar, "She did come to our house earlier as well but we didn't interact much. We seldom got into any conversations. I had to change my approach though once we started working together."

Did Tusshar's words work for Prachi? Well, that would be there for all to see once "Life Partner" releases in June or July.

Produced by Abbas-Mustan, it also stars Govinda, Fardeen Khan and Genelia D'Souza.
