Salman, the ‘Being Human’ is baffled over the yoga guru’s decision to go on a hunger strike to ward off the country from corruption and Salman is least amused with the idea. “Why is he going on a hunger strike? Isn’t he a yogi teaching yoga?” he asked.

“I know his intention is good, but I think there are better ways for him to stop corruption,” said the star further adding, “The yogi has numerous followers across the nation. If he wants to put an end to corrupt practices, he should spread the message through them and motivate people to stop giving bribes.”

May be Salman didn’t want to feel the ire of Baba who usually blabber a lot and the clueless actor over the hunger strike wished Ramdev to accomplish his mission. If he could!!

When India played South Africa in Nagpur – unfortunately India lost – where Deepika Padukone joined the Dum Maaro Dum team to promote the movie, and also to be with her boyfriend Siddharth Malaya. She was also supposed to perform for her sexy remix item song from the movie in the stadium, was not able to give the performance due to lack of rehearsal, as she was busy shooting for Aarakshan in Bhopal.

The event also saw Rohan Sippy, Abhishek Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Prateik Babbar, and Bipasha Basu enjoying the match as well in spirits for their movie promotions among the huge crowd. They witnessed a roar in the crowd as the crew walked along the field in the half way of the match. Whenever the camera caught Abhishek and Bipasha the crowd just didn’t forget to cheer the Dum Maaro Dum cast.

However, Deepika and Siddharth are often seen in matches India plays as the beverage king’s son is an addict of cricket, even if Deepika do not like, she has to company her boyfriend to the stadia. They were also spotted watching India Vs England cricket match at Bangalore. The two were seated side by side to each other, whereas Kingfisher head Vijay Mallya was also present to witness “Sachin Tendulkar” score his 98th century.

Apart from Dum Maaro Dum team South star Siddharth, Rahul Bose and Vivek Oberoi were also present in Nagpur cheering the men in blue. Vivek has come with his wife Priyanka Alva. Vivek who was cheering for India said, “I am here to watch the match and support India. Priyanka and I are super excited to watch India win. Fingers crossed! Please pray that India wins again.” But for Vivek’s dismay India lost the match.

It seems World Cup 2011 has brought some respite for Deepika who lately broke up with Ranbir and with Siddharth hosting her in every match; the match is no less fixed after ‘being just friends’ for long. Kevin Pietersen has already written on his twitter after the match that he had dinner with Siddharth and his g/f Deepika.

If Deepika till says she is just a friend with Siddharth questions are certain to arise. The lady is also brand ambassador for Bangalore Royal Challengers team in IPL, but then it is no IPL matches, then why she is so regularly spotted with Malaya son in World Cup matches? Surprisingly, Deepika can always be seen sitting next to Siddharth enjoying the match with him. When Siddharth was enjoying Sachin’s century, Deepika was actually enjoying seeing him cheering for team India.

Deepika who was earlier complaining about tight schedules, how did she actually find time to accompany Siddharth?

World Cup to take a toll on Bollywood:
As ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 reaches its last league, cricket euphoria has gripped the nation. While billion of fans are betting high on India’s chances in the tournament, Bollywood has taken a defensive stance in this cricket-heavy season. With only four B-budget releases since the start of the World Cup in mid-February — Tanu Weds Manu, Yeh Dooriyaan, Phirr and Shagird –producers are anticipating a lull in the multiplexes and playing it safe.

Not a single Bollywood film releases between March 12 and March 31, which sees the last phase of the league matches, quarter-finals and semi-finals of the World Cup being played out between teams. Film trade analyst Komal Nahta said, “The cricket season is a lean period for the film industry. Attendance in the theatres falls by almost 25-30%. Hence, producers avoid the risk of releasing big budget films during this season….
