He sleeps for “four to five hours” a day, burns the midnight oil to blog and has a packed shooting schedule.

But 67-year-old megastar Amitabh Bachchan insists he is neither the busiest person in the Hindi film industry nor an important part of any of his projects.

“I don’t think that is entirely correct. I just do whatever is offered to me. I do films, I am now doing television (’Big Boss 3′),” said Amitabh shrugging off the busy bee title.

“If you plan your day and time, you can find time to do all these things. If the body responds, it’s fine. But sooner or later it’s going to pack up, so might.

Rumors are rife that Bollywood’s young couple Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are not on talking terms. Deepika apparently feels that Ranbir is not serious about their relationship.

A source says, “Everyone knows that Neetu never really approved of Deepika for her son even though Ranbir tried and succeeded, to a large extent, to make his mom thaw towards his girl. The OSO girl somewhere felt that her beau wasn’t making a commitment to her, even though she was fully committed to the relationship because he was waiting for mommy’s approval.”

However another friend says,”They are together. Fights happen in every relationship. This is the eighth time that everyone’s convinced they are heading for a split. But it’s all fine. They’ve patched up”.

Akshay Kumar thinks that the on-screen chemistry between him and Katrina Kaif is very sizzling. He believes that if they are casted together in a film then there are better chances of its hitting the silver screen.

There have been quite a few movies that they have done together and they have performed very well at the box office too. These movies are Namastey London, Welcome, Singh Is Kinng and Blue being the most recent one. Akshay has also recently admitted that Katrina has brought a lot of good luck to his career in Bollywood. He also feels that the actress is extremely talented and he takes pleasure in working with her.

Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone make one of the most sizzling couple in Bollywood right now. But this image of theirs seems to be on a high risk.
