Salman Khan is an excellent actor but an unlucky lover. Though he has succeeded in his filmi career he has been a loser in his personal life. The latest has come from none other than the most promising diva of Bollywood that Katrina Kaif is. She has turned down Sallu's marriage proposal! While the macho actor has recently boasted of marrying next year and also having a baby, Kat has denied that she is marrying with him. She says, "I think Salman said whatever he wanted to say. Let people make of it whatever they want. I have never commented on the personal side in the media. I don't wish to start right now." One can conclude that the lady is still not sure of marriage. After all, she is only 24 and career is her top priority whereas Sallu is old enough to hurry up with marriage.

'Bachna Ae Haseeno' and 'God Tussi Great Ho' have earned a big bonanza for Bollywood. These movies earned more than Rs 500 to 600 million during the first three days. While 'Bachna' is expected to bag Rs 300 to 350 million, 'GTGH' may earn close to Rs 200 to 250 million, according to unofficial estimates, for Yash Raj films and Eros International, respectively. As reported earlier in our movie reviews, 'Bachna' fared very well at multiplexes and 'GTGH' mostly at small centers. Good revenues are attributed to the long holiday weekend by the industry. Had 'Singh Is Kinng' not continued to attract crowds at single screen theaters, the two movies released last Friday would have minted fortune for their producers. Don't be surprised as 'Singh Is Kinng' earned about Rs 450 million in India and Rs 150 million abroad, recording the largest movie of the year so far.
VALUATION DISTANCES REB -SOROS DEAL
Reliance Big Entertainment's deal with George Soros seems to be far away. While the term-sheet for the proposed transaction, which offers an exit option to the Soros fund, was signed in March, differences in valuation along with a few other issues are holding back the investment . This is to recall that RBE had announced that George Soros would invest $100 million for a 3% stake in the company. Industry circles, however, feel that the deal may finally go through, but the George Soros team is yet to take the final call. The Soros team revealed that the deal is primarily stuck due to valuation issues and other conditions like a board berth. It is learnt that the team had also insisted on a put option as part of the exit clause in the term-sheet.
