Islamabad, July 17: After rubbing conservatives the wrong way by posing semi-nude for an Indian men's magazine some months ago, Pakistan's controversy queen Veena Malik is all set to turn holy during Ramzan – well, at least on the idiot box.

Bollywood's favourite bad boy, Salman Khan, seems to be forever making headlines for the wrong reason.

Jackie Shroff hasn't delivered a memorable performance on the big screen in years. One now sees more of him in late night teleshopping ads, while contemporaries Sunny Deol and Anil Kapoor continue to make films. Currently, Jaggu Dada is in the news for making a comeback in an action film and also being a part of Rajinikanth's Kochadaiyaan. Ask him about it and he laughs, "Bhidu, how many times

One of the leading production houses in Bollywood is in serious legal and financial muddle.
