Hansika who has been busy with her films in the South has started reaping dividends for her hard work! This young actress has grabbed the ‘Best Debutante Award’ in the 55th Filmfare Awards held in the south! What makes it all the more special for Hansika is that she competed against 18 other actresses from various categories like Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam films and came out winning! She won the award for her performance in ‘Desamuduru’ which has run for more than 200 days and still continues to draw in an enthusiastic audience!!!
And its not just Filmfare, but ‘Desamuduru’ has also fetched Hansika the Best Debutante award in ‘Maa TV Awards’ which is held by the Telugu Film industry.
With Hansika’s Debut film in the South fetching her so many accolades, we wonder if she’s on her way to become the next Southern superstar!!
Hopefully this high will continue with her Bollywood flick ‘Money Hai Toh Honey Hai’ releasing soon!

Koel Purie who loves experimenting different things and has always something new on the platter last night was seen at a book reading session at an Art Gallery in Worli where she read parts of Paulo Coelho’s ‘The Alchemist’ to the gathering. Giving her company was none other than Sikander Kher and the two of them had the audience enthralled and involved in the session completely. In fact, Koel applied accents and characterisations to make the reading animated and lively!
So much so that quite a few people walked upto her and complimented her that they had never realised that a book reading could be so interesting! 
A completely cheerful Koel was seen enjoying herself, and the duo kept cracking jokes and pulling each others leg, making it a rather cheerful event! They were even seen arguing good naturedly over who would go first. Finally, Sikander being the gentleman he is, graciously allowed Koel to go first citing ‘Ladies First’!!!

Celeb stylist Aalim is no amateur when it comes to styling Bollywood Stars as Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, etc have been his loyal clients since years…but our source recently spotted the stylist stepping out of Pratiksha, Big B’s bungalow the other morning!!
Has Aalim been prepping Amitabh Bachchan before he left for his world tour? When we approached Aalim outside the bungalow, he reluctantly confirmed, “Yes Amitabh sir called me in the morning for styling before he left for his World Tour….it was a great experience as always having worked for him in few of his previous films as well before…Amitji was very close to my father as well”….
What’s more, we hear Aalim’s late father Hakim was a regular stylist for Big B during his heydays…Amitabh Bachchan just could not trust anyone but Hakim Kairanvi and the late stylist had styled him right from Resham Aur Shera till his old age, and used to take him overseas as well!! Well from father to son, this must definitely be a most proud moment!
