The Khatta Meetha debutante Trisha Krishnan who will next be seen in Hindi with Pratik Babbar has become embroiled in a drug scandal.

A report on a Telugu channel claims Trisha's name features in the list of clients of a Nigerian drug dealer. All because she has a very close friend of African origin, the dress designer Sidney Sladen!

Trisha is not taking it lying down.

Fuming from Chennai she says, “It's very strange. I was shooting in Kodaikanal when this Telugu news channel put this news out. And they put a still of me and this very dear friend of mine who's Afro-American. They assumed that this fashion-designer friend of mine from Chennai was some drug peddler from Nigera.”

And Trisha is not amused. “I was angry. This is not just a harmless rumour. The first thing I did was to get my lawyer to issue statements to all the tv channels.

I've taken legal action against the channel which put this out. There is not an element of truth in it.It's strange where this story came from. I haven't been to Hyderabad for a year now. I was told this peddler knows my number. But come on, everyone knows my number.”

Trisha thinks this an attempt to malign her in the Telugu film industry. 'The only problem is, you can't pinpoint such a thing to any one source. But yes, it seems to have been done to tarnish my image. Luckily I've got a lot of support in Hyderabad even from the authorities.”

Mumbai, July 24 -- Salaam my sizzling shasliks! How's your weekend going? Don't ask me about mine as I'm not exactly gung-ho about it. Blame it on Rapchik Rajni and Madhu my Mottu Maid who have become a bit too lackadaisical in sourcing spicy gossip like my other khabrus from around town. So while I've exiled them for now, you my dahlings, need not worry about your dose of daily goss. Read on to know what many in tinsel town don't.

Like this raaz ki baat on Aamir Khan. Sher Lock Holmes tells me that the actor was keen to act as Natha, the farmer, ever since he first heard about Peepli Live.

Anusha Rizvi narrated the concept to him years ago, when he was filming Mangal Pandey - The Rising. He expressed his desire to play Natha, but she didn't see him in that role. Seems she thought it wise to bide her time till she finished scripting.

Fortunately, Khan signed Rajkumar Hirani's 3 Idiots in the meanwhile, and since both the films were to be shot around the same time, Khan didn't want to keep Rizvi waiting. And before he knew it, she showed him the audition tape of Omkar Manikpuri as Natha.

Anushka Sharma the Face of India. Anushka Sharma is model and actress in the Bollywood film industry. In 2008, she played the female lead role in the Bollywood film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, directed by Aditya Chopra, who earlier directed hits like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Mohabbatein.

Shilpa Shetty is beautiful and very talented too. I think she looks great and has a killing figure, just right for a Bond girl.
