Bollywood beauty Dia Mirza is flattered, but embarrassed too. The reason is apparent; Kabeer Kaushik, the director of her film ‘Hum Tum Aur Ghost’, addressed her as Dia Madam all through the shoot. This embarrassed the good-natured actress. She didn’t like the director addressing her with the title of Madam. But, the lady couldn’t help as her request was ignored. Presumably, the director thought of giving due regard to Dia as he considered her as a very thick friend of the movie producer Arshad Warsi. So, Kabeer didn’t change and continued to address her as Madam. Dia felt embarrassed every time in the presence of the cast and the crew. When the media confronted Dia about it , she laughed it off but admitted that Kabeer did call her as such.

Vashu Bhagnani is very much disheartened. The reason is that all his attempts to re-launch his son Jackky Bhagnani with his film ‘Faltu’ have gone awry. His attempt to have Sanjay Dutt in the lead role along with Jacky has borne no fruit. Even then he didn’t lose heart and approached Anil Kapoor and Akshay Kumar for the movie . However, they didn’t agree to his proposal. Now, Vashu is left with one option to run his son Jackky in his solo project.
