Saawariya gal Sonam Kapoor said no to working with veteran actor and her loving father Anil Kapoor.

The reason for this is that Sonam feels that her dad looks far younger than his age to play a conventional father in a Bollywood film.

"Do you really think he looks like my Dad? No! He doesn't. He looks far younger than his age. And that's why I wouldn't want him to play my father. The role in 'Ayesha' that you're mentioning didn't suit him. My dad can't play the conventional father," Sonam said.

The sources said that Ratnam asked Ash to apply no make-up for her appearance during the second half of the film ‘Raavan’ as she was supposed to portray a wife with feelings of being separated from her husband.

Ace Ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh said how A R Rahman's song in Slumdog Millionaire 'Jai Ho' won two Oscars as he finds the song overrated.

“Getting an Oscar is no doubt a great achievement but the song, for which we got the award, is not so special. Frankly I did not understand on what basis it was awarded,” he said.
