Mumbai, Jan 21- From Doordarshan serials to Hollywood films, Irrfan Khan has traversed a long path. The 48-year-old actor says he is very conscious about which project he chooses as it's his work that sells, not his looks.

"I am choosy because it's not my face that sells. My work is what people like and want to see again and again; so I can't repeat myself," Irrfan told IANS in an interview.

Mumbai, Jan 21- She didn't want to work with Aamir Khan in "Dhobi Ghat", but once he was on board, first-time director Kiran Rao not only enjoyed working with her husband but also got some valuable tips from him. She is however not sure if she will write a script specially for him, although she says he is a "dream producer".

"Aamir told me, 'Don't move on until you've got what you want and once you've got it, don't waste time.' That was his one mantra for me," Kiran told IANS.

According to hearsays, all is not well between Bollywood hottie Mallika Sherawat and the creators of the TV dance reality show 'Chak Dhoom Dhoom'.

During the last month, Sherawat has been roped in as the judge for 'Chak Dhoom Dhoom'.

Hardly three weeks later, Sherawat has been chucked out as the show's judge, and substituted by another Bollywood actress, Urmila Matondkar.

The reasons for the actress's rejection appears to be that she had not been showing her keen interest to the show and reportedly throwing lots of tantrums.

Mumbai, Jan 21 - His contemporaries like Naseeruddin Shah and Deepti Naval have branched out into filmmaking, but theatre veteran and movie actor Farooque Sheikh says he is content doing a few films and has no inclination whatsoever to go behind the camera.

"See, I like doing little work. I have no 'akal' (intelligence) and no 'taakat' (energy) to make my own films. I'm happy doing just one or two films or TV projects in a year or two," Farooque told IANS.
