Washington, February 25 : Kate Winslet likened her Best Actress Oscar to her mum's victory in a pickling competition at a local pub in Britain.

After having been nominated five times earlier, the actress finally won the gong for her portrayal of a German woman with a secret Nazi past in the romantic drama "The Reader".

Speaking after the Academy Awards, the `Titanic' star added her win to her family's previous accolade at The Retreat in Reading that saw her mum taking home a bottle of vodka in place of a coveted statuette.

Bollywood glamour-doll Bipasha Basu is getting praises from all sides for her brilliant performance in an item song for her upcoming film ‘Aa Dekhen Zara’.

But, only a few people know that the actress injured her knee few days before shooting of that item number.

Despite pain in her knee, Bips chose to work.

A source on the unit said, “Bipasha made sure that her knee pain didn’t affect her work schedule.”

The strong lady, who was advised to take complete bed rest, attended rehearsals on a regular basis, and then between the breaks gave a quick visit to her physiotherapist.

Kamal would be playing the role that Naseeruddin Shah portrayed in the original.

In the bilingual film, Anupam Kher's character would be enacted by Malayalam superstar Mohanlal.
