Wishing Aamir Khan a very happy Birthday
Bryan Adams' most popular song went '18 till I die'. A statement that serves true for our very own Bollywood's talent house Aamir Khan, who till date can carry of the role of a college student with just as much ease as he did in his teen years in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. It's as if age surpasses him with each passing year. He has not only grown in years, the man has grown in talent too. There is none like any him in our industry yet he humbly refuses any flattering title one might wish to give him. He is popularly known to do only one film a year and the kind that every fan of his waits with bated breath. His work is nothing short of a masterpiece but this perfectionist self is never satisfied. His zest to do better has made him a benchmark for quality in our industry, and Bollywood Hungama would take this opportunity to wish this phenomenon called Aamir Khan a very happy birthday. You too can post your birthday wishes for Aamir in the comments section below:Rajeev Khandelwal to star in Tanuja Chandra's next

The as-yet-untitled film will be produced by Anuj Saxena's Maverick Productions. The film is likely to go on floors in the middle of this year.Aamir to meet James Cameron in Delhi; Ranbir, Asin will also be present
Aamir Khan's intellect is not a facade he puts on for his films but he is truly a man who knows exactly what he's talking about in all seriousness. To validate that is the fact that he has been invited to a highly prestigious summit in New Delhi today- the 13th March with none other than the esteemed Oscar Winning director James Cameron. The Summit is being held on the subject of Reality v/s Idealism and will also see young Bollywood actors Asin and Ranbir Kapoor who would be the voice of the Youth of Bollywood. Asin would be speaking on how the youth can break free and think out of the box to bring change in a country that is much in need of it. The two young stars will also be attending the exclusive gala dinner which will be addressed by James Cameron and Aamir and what makes all of this extremely special is the fact that only a select few personalities have been invited to this summit and dinner. Aamir in fact would also have the opportunity of bringing in his 45th birthday in the presence of stalwarts like James Cameron. Must say this is one occasion the actor isn't likely to forget in a long, long time.Jacqueline in Pepsi commercial with Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt
The Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai girl is surely spreading her magic. It's Jacqueline Fernandez who is creating the craze and how! Coming April would see Jacqueline opposite Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt spreading the 'Wow! Factor' for a Pepsi commercial and if you're wondering why Jacqueline then the ad filmmaker is asking why not. The story goes that the ad filmmaker of Pepsi commercial had Ranbir and Sanju baba in tow but was on a lookout for a face that is not only fresh but compliments Ranbir and adds the much needed glam factor to the commercial. Nikhil Advani being a good friend of the ad filmmaker showed some promotional videos and scenes of his upcoming production Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. Says a source, "The makers were blown away by Jackie and insisted that they wanted her in the ad." So convinced were they about Jackie that when the dates of the commercial and the promotional video of the film were clashing, the makers adjusted their dates to suit Jacqueline's. As a matter of fact even after the commercial, the entire team couldn't stop raving about her. Well Jacqueline, just like Pepsi, seems like you too have a Wow Factor in you.Preity Zinta creates AIDS awareness
It's probably a season that can see a beautiful coming together of Bollywood and Philanthropy. Not that we're surprised but instead it makes us very proud how some of the most popular stars have taken it upon themselves to do their bit for the society. The name that has just pencilled itself in to this group is the pretty Preity Zinta who has been appointed the goodwill ambassador of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS in India. One might think that she would give a few speeches and do a few commercials and be done with. But no! Miss Zinta takes such responsibilities quite seriously. The lady would be travelling to the rural areas of Punjab where AIDS is quite rampant, and create awareness as to how one can keep the disease at bay. If that wasn't enough, she has taken the decision that all the players of her IPL Premiere League team - King XI Punjab will be donning red ribbons and for the match against Delhi daredevils, an HIV positive person will do the toss to spread the message against stigma and discrimination. The lady is truly a bundle of surprise. Besides shooting an AIDS commercial with her team's captain Kumar Sangakkara and other team players, the team will be donating 25% of the profit they earn from selling their merchandise to UNAIDS. India is home to 2.3 million HIV positive people; it makes us so proud to know that someone like Miss Zinta, who holds the position to create awareness about AIDS, is taking her responsibility so seriously.Sanjay Gupta announces release dates of The Great Indian Butterfly, Pankh
