Road to Bandstand
After the news of Salman playing guru to Shoaib Akhtar, he comes another bit on the Salman-Shoaib front. It has been reported that in the wee hours of Saturday morning Shoaib Akhthar and Salman Khan entered into a bit of an argument concerning their individual fitness levels and physique. Shoaib Akhtar challenged Salman to a race to prove a point or two. Shoaib instigated Salman by taking off his shirt the Salman way. The two then set off starting from Salman's Galaxy Apartments to the other end at Taj and back. Guess who won? It was Shoaib who made it ahead of Sallu Bhai by a second or two. Looks like Shoaib knows his way out at Bandra. Let's hope he soon finds the right road to bollywood too.

Vivek Oberoi: Country Road Take me Home
Vivek Oberoi may be maintaining a low profile but that hasn't stopped the industry from standing up for him. Lately there has been a spate of controversies surrounding Vivek. It started off with a rumour about Sunjay Dutt, his co star in 'Shoot Out At Lokhandwala' being upset with him over girlfriend Manyata. Yet another story that did the rounds was that Vivek was on a depression mode post the engagement of Abhishek-Ash. And now recently, there's news of Salman Khan snubbing Vivek in Dubai. Sources close to Vivek say, 'These stories are being blown out of proportion just because the once media friendly Vivek is not accessible to anyone anymore. Since there is no access to him, people are adding two and two and coming up with twenty two.' Even stories about Vivek going into depression post the Abhi-Ash engagement is being laughed off by the Dubai unit of Feroz Nadiadwala's 'Fool And Final. Says a unit member, 'We had a blast shooting with Vivek in Dubai. Vivek is very focused on his career. He was shooting non-stop and hitting the club in the night with all of us. The Abhi-Ash was bound to happen sooner or later. In fact, not once did we see him upset or depressed over it. He was the life of the set, making all of us laugh and making sure we had a blast.' 'Even reports about Salman ignoring Vivek in Dubai seems so incongruous.' He adds, ' We were shooting with him all the time and not once did Vivek approach Salman, nor did they ever cross paths, so the question of snubbing does not arise at all.' In fact a director close to both of the actors says, 'This story circulating about them is so amusing. They have both moved on with their lives and are busy with their respective careers.' Vivek Oberoi is a talented actor with a tendency for regularly putting his foot in the mouth which often lands him in trouble. Hopefully he has learnt his lessons well and would from now on concentrate on enhancing his acting prowess rather than attempting to being the self proclaimed blue eyed boy of the media or a poodle to a superstar brand ambassador of beauty products at Cannes festival. Also he should refrain from being the butt-of-all-jokes at his film press conferences where he tries to sell his wares a bit too hard. And that atrocious sense of humour needs some massive trimming too. Not a tall order I guess. Or is it!
