Ex-boyfriend congratulates Aishwarya Rai

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has taken some time to congratulate Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan as they are expecting their first child. "I congratulate Aishwarya and Abhishek. I would like to congratulate Mr. Bachchan that he is going to become a grandfather. I've become a chacha. I wish they have 7 kids. I hope they make a whole football team. I am happy for the Dadaji (Amitabh Bachchan)," Salman told reporters here at an event to launch a Blackberry application. Ash and Salman began dating in 1999 during the filming of 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' and after much hype they called off their relationship in 2001. The actor reportedly physically and verbally abused Ash and even slapped her on the sets of a film. "I don't think that there is a word called love. There is a word called 'need'. A girl will not reciprocate the love, till she feels the need for the guy," said Salman, in one of his interview after break-up with Ash. Ash married Abhishek April 20, 2007.

Star Hero fined for smoking in public

Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan, who is shooting for his forthcoming film 'Bodyguard' in punjab, landed in trouble on Tuesday with the local administration penalising him for smoking in public place at a hotel. Taking cognizance of his photograph published in a daily, the Patiala district administration issued a notice (challan) to Salman Khan on late Tuesday, which was coincidentally observed as World No Tobacco Day. "We have issued challan on the basis of a photograph, showing Salman smoking at a public place in a hotel, published in a newspaper on Saturday. We have also issued a warning to the hotel authorities," said an official. A crew member of the film's production unit received the challan on Salman's behalf. The star or his representative will now have to appear before the district magistrate, who may decide the penalty amount. Earlier, Doctors have advised Salman Khan to give up smoking as it would cause a great harm to his health. In the past,  Salman Khan promised to give up smoking several times but he failed to keep his words. Let's see whether this time, he will be able to keep up his promise or not.
