Wish come true

As reported, Shamita Shetty was gifted an Audi A6 by sister Shilpa and her parents on her birthday ('An Audi from Didi'; HiTLIST, February 2). Talking about it, Shamita says, "Shilpa had planned everything beautifully. At midnight, a man was playing Happy Birthday for me on the guitar.

I was stunned when I saw the Audi. Bizarrely, I had a photo of a silver A6 Audi with the number plate 820 on my wishboard for a year. There was no way my family couldn't have seen it.

But the car I got was exactly like that! Shilpa also planned a special dinner for my friends and booked a suite at the Sahara Star. It was a perfect end to a lovely day." Now that's some sisterly love!

Busy boy

After the Victory premiere in Sri Lanka, Hurman Baweja headed to Dubai for a two-day break. A source close to Hurman reveals, "He attended the Mumbai premiere and flew off to Sri Lanka the same night.

After returning, he had to resume shooting for Chicago. Luckily, he got a day's break and flew off to Dubai. After spending a day shopping there, he landed in Mumbai on Tuesday night and had an early morning flight to Chicago.

He has a long schedule for What's Your Raashee?, which will almost complete the film." Keeping busy will help him recover from Victory, no?

Priyan who?

Shirish Kunder (director of Salman Khan-Akshay Kumar starrer Jaan-E-Mann) and better half of Farah Khan has been Facebooking.

His status message two days ago said, "Shirish Kunder 'is amazed that Priyadarshan has called Slumdog Millionarie a trashy film.

Priyadarshan talking about Slumdog is like a eunuch talking about the Kamasutra." Shirish has got an amazing number of responses to his message.

One of the comments said: Don't take panga with Priyadarshan, he is directing Billu Barber, and your wife has choreographed for the film."

Meanwhile...

Priyadarshan has cut his fee by 35% for his Akki-Sunil starrer De Dhana Dhan. He did so, because he didn't want the film to compromise on its scale, in this recession-ridden market. Following his example, even many members of the crew have taken a pay cut. Will Akshay and Sunil do the same?

Best buds

Barbara Mori seems to be bonding really well with Hrithik and his family. She was besides Hrithik throughout his wrist injury.

A source reveals, "She is a regular visitor at the Roshan's house. She has bonded really well with Hrithik's sister Sunaina and they are seen dining and having lunches together.

Sunaina has also started dropping in on the sets and is seen chatting with Barbara in her free time. Sunaina soon will joining Duggu bhaiya and Sussanne bhabhi in learning Spanish." We'll be waiting for Barbara to start spouting Hindi now.

They are very good friends and often hang out together. Tabu is on Freida's speed dial and they were seen clubbing a couple of times. Freida take a lot of advice from her and considers her as her elder sister." Sho shweet no?
