Ileana D'Cruz, who is acting with Shahid Kapoor for the first time in upcoming action-comedy "Phata Poster Nikhla Hero," feels Shahid's chocolate boy look works in favour of their film and that it is also the reason for their great on-screen chemistry. "On-screen chemistry has really worked for me and Shahid, as it is a fresh pairing. Shahid is playing such a wonderful role. He has got chocolate boy kind of image, but I think it has really worked for our film. He is playing different shades of everything," Ileana said here. "There is immense amount of action in the film, but there is also comedy, drama and so much of romance as well. I think it has worked so well for us and people will see me second time after 'Barfi!', so I believe it will work," she added. "Phata Poster Nikhla Hero", directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, features Shahid as Vishwas Rao, an aspiring actor, while Ileana plays a self-appointed social worker, Kajol. It will hit the theatres Sep 20.

However they were surprised when her assistants brought gift wrapped boxes. Incidentally Bipasha Basu used the break in between to shop for everyone on the sets. The director duo, were extremely touched by her thoughtful gesture. According to Abbas Mustan, what made it even more special was that Bipasha had brought gifts what everyone would like and suited them rather than just gifting them.

Everyone on the sets was touched by Bipasha's sweet and warm gesture." For example, she gifted the director duo expensive perfume bottles, which suited their nature and personality. She had a customized gift for everyone like expensive watches, chocolates, etc. right from the clapper boy to the drivers to the cameraman to the time keepers etc.

Researchers from the University of Hull and the Hull York Medical School in Britain tested a group of patients with a severe form of the disease, according to Nutrition Journal. They ate dark chocolate for eight weeks, followed by a break and then another variety with little cocoa but which tasted the same. They were asked to eat 15 grams three times a day and not make any other changes to their diet. They reported significant improvement in their wellbeing. Prof Steve Atkin who led the study says: “This is potentially very encouraging news for those who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome.”
