Ajay's advice to Kajol regarding SRK!

Well do not get excited and jump to conclusions after reading our headline, as we are not about to indulge in yellow journalism! This is a rather interesting incident that took place between Ajay Devgan, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. It is quite in contrast to the recent stories involving Kajol's hubby Devgan and her advice seeking SMS to Shah Rukh Khan, concerning Raju Hirani's film. And we go!

As per Mumbai based media sources, Kajol was wondering as to why her close friend Shah Rukh Khan had not replied to her SMS about doing Rajkumar Hirani's film. Seeing Kajol being worried about the same, loving hubby Ajay Devgan told her (rather coolly) to call SRK and find out, instead of getting worried the whole day and staring at her mobile, while waiting for a reply from King Khan. Needless to add that Kajol took her husband's intelligent advice rather seriously and did the same. And we know her decision regarding the matter.

For those who are still clueless, as of the moment, Aamir Khan is the only actor finalised for Rajkumar Hirani's next project based on the Indian education system.

Chak De girls have a new mission

After beating the boys at hockey, Chak De girls Sagarika Ghatge and Chitrashi Rawat are ready to give them a piece of their mind in real life, too! The two girls have joined forces to fight against social problems such as eve-teasing. “I have gone through a lot of eve-teasing,” says Chitrashi, “I used to wear short skirts on the hockey field, because we had to, and random people used to tease us for that.” Any message for the boys? “I definitely want to tell them they are very sick,” laughs Chitrashi, “Stop doing it, because girls are getting ahead.”
