Bipasha takes week off for recovery

Bipasha Basu is taking a much-needed break. After suffering a bout of exhaustion and viral fever after the release of her film "Raaz 3", the actress started work on "Aatma", but she has now realised she needs proper rest.

"Have taken a week off from work to recover properly! Taking baby steps towards my fit self. We all should realise nothing is bigger than good health," said the otherwise fit and fabulous 33-year-old.

"Aatma" is a horror film, directed by Suparn Verma. It stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui opposite Bipasha.

Asin on European holiday!

After delivering back-to-back hits "Housefull 2" and "Bol Bachchan" this year, actress Asin Thottumkal has decided to take a short break, and decided on Europe as the venue for her sojourn.

"She had hardly got any time for herself as she was busy shooting for 'Bol Bachchan' and then got into promotions for 'Housefull 2', and later with the promotions of 'Bol Bachchan'.

"She even started work on 'Khiladi 786' post that. So now that she has got some time off from her packed schedule, she decided to go to Europe for a quick vacation and will resume shooting for 'Khiladi 786' as soon as she gets back," said a source close to the actress.

Siddharth felt odd shooting SOTY

Model-turned-actor Siddharth Malhotra says facing the camera for Dharma Productions' "Student Of The Year" (SOTY) was a little "odd" as he had worked as an assistant director with the banner before.

"With Dharma (Productions), it is a little odd, because the same people I worked with as an assistant director, and now I had to work with them as an actor," said Siddharth.

He says he was comfortable on the sets of the movie, and everyone was really warm.

"I guess once we go outside we will realise how it really is. Here everyone is very warm," added the actor, who assisted Karan Johar on "My Name Is Khan".

SOTY, which also marks the acting debut of Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, will release Oct 19.
