A Wedding in Paris For those obsessing about the biggest wedding of the season, here's more. The cards for the June 22 wedding of L.N. Mittal's daughter Vanisha to Delhi boy Amit Bhatia have begun to arrive. Now, focus shifts from the pre-wedding tidbits and the bride's lehenga to who has been invited to the functions in Paris that move from the "starry night" at the St Cloud to the wedding at Vaux le Vicomte, a 17th century chateau. Those left behind will just have to await the postcards from Paris. | ||

Caught On-Screen The police may have failed to catch Veerappan, but a Ram Gopal Varma production just might. Let's Catch Veerappan, to be directed by Shimit Amin, is based on the true story of three villagers who, tempted by the Rs 65 lakh reward, try to catch the bandit. Only they end up causing the deaths of 43 others. The catch? The film may not even have someone to play Veerappan. "It is not so much about Veerappan. The way the operation went is fascinating," says Amin. Veerappan has the last laugh, does he? | ||

Family Flame Her vocals added to the Olympic torch theme. But Seetaa Subramaniam (the two Es and As are for luck), daughter of violin maestro L. Subramaniam and melody queen Kavita Krishnamurty, is also taking forward the family torch. "Everyone may think it puts big pressure to have such illustrious musical parents, but actually it is an asset," she says. A law student, Subramaniam, 19, is working on Beyond Borders, a solo album. | ||

| Mamma's Model
Following in mum Sharmila Tagore's footsteps, she has made her debut in a Bengali film. It is not Satyajit Ray and Devi but Anjan Das' Iti Srikanta that first sees the screen coming out of Soha Ali Khan, despite the fact that she has a line-up of Bollywood films awaiting release. But before you think this was some heavy-duty PR initiative, Khan will have you know that making her first on-screen appearance in a Bengali film wasn't a conscious decision. "The script was wonderful. I have always loved Bengali cinema and literature and the part offered to me was a dream role," says the hot-right-now, younger sis of Saif Ali Khan. "I wanted my debut to be something I could be proud of." Coming up next are romantic comedy Dil Maange More with Shahid Kapoor and Rajashree Ojha's English film Yatna, not to mention a cameo in big bro's new film Akuri. "Though I have only a small role, Saif and I were in the same scene and it was lots of fun," says Soha. Siblings who work together, play together, is it? -Compiled by Kanika Gahlaut | ||
