Sudhir Mishra is embarrassed by the stories in the papers on Tuesday morning stating he got into a scuffle with bouncers at a mall in Pune on Monday. Says the mortified moviemaker. “I’ve never got into a scuffle with anyone. It just so happened that we were at this very crowded mall where the bouncers couldn’t control the crowds. One of them pushed me. He didn’t recognize me and probably thought I was a fan of Chitrangda. If someone pushes you, don’t you push him back? It was no big deal.”

Sonakshi, as we all know, is a very busy star. So busy that she has not found time to visit her home town Patna for many years.

Once <em>Daadi</em> died and grand-daughter Sonakshi became an overnight star with <em>Dabangg</em> the people of Patna have not seen their Bihari Babu’s Bihari beti’s face. And they aren’t too pleased about it. Finally after 3 years of dillydallying Sonakshi is all set to come “home” to Patna on Saturday.
