Ranveer is a better actor now: Anushka Sharma

She may be just four films old, but actor Anushka Sharma, who is back with Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, has already made a mark in the industry. The film, which released on Friday, brings back the team of her successful film, Band Baaja Baaraat (BBB) once again, including co-star Ranveer

Singh.

Sharma, who has reportedly been in on-off relationship with Singh, believes he has improved as an actor. “Ranveer has undoubtedly come a long way from his first film, BBB. I have seen that he has become more relaxed. In fact, he has become a better actor now. But he has definitely not changed as a person. He is a great friend and is fun to work with,” says the 23-year-old Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi star.

The actor says working with the same team was a pleasant experience. “As the whole crew is from BBB, we throughout had positive vibes on the set. This film is very different from BBB, and we have tried not to repeat what we have done in BBB. However, there were some moments which made us reminisce about BBB but in a different space,” she says.

The actor, who is seen cutting a thin frame in the posters of Ladies Vs…, is being called anorexic. She, however, denies media’s speculation. “I am not anorexic. I am active, athletic and lean and have been this for the longest time. Moreover, I have a great body that I’m proud of.”

Ask about her relationship status and she says, “I’m very much single and ready to mingle.” The actor would next be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola opposite Imran Khan and Yash Raj’s next, which also stars Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif.

Dating After Divorce: How To Not Use Social Media

I would love to write that post-divorce I handled my online social media profiles with grace, restraint and dignity, but that it would be a total and utter fabrication. What I did instead was to vomit my personal hell and torment over the internet, and was unapologetic about it. In some ways I regret it, but not completely as I was mad, extremely mad at my husband who had been lying to me for years and living as a closeted homosexual. I had nine years of sacrifice and struggle to keep a relationship together that was ultimately a fraud at its core. The torrent of emotions was overdue and I had this new forum called… Facebook.

This type of social media is relatively new to everyone and correct Facebook etiquette, manners and rules haven’t been firmly established. However I have learned quite a bit from my mistakes and I would love to share them. I didn’t do everything on this list, but from my own and others’ mistakes I have discovered the hard way how divorcees should conduct themselves online.

1. Don’t use your status updates to seek and destroy: Never post a status update hoping that your ex will see it, or as a direct attack against your ex — they might see it, they might not, but you will just make most of your friends concerned with you and your mental health.

2. Remove old comments: Remove any and all loving, kind, or playful comments that you made on your ex’s profile or photos. Comments such as “There is my sweetie!” or “I love my husband” can come back to haunt you when starting a new relationship, and the new boyfriend stumbles upon these little notes. It can also cause problems for your ex and his new relationships. Basically it is confusing for everyone involved and if you can easily remove the comments, remove them.

3. Learn to love the block feature: If you are on horrible terms with your ex or your ex is using Facebook to attack you or taunt you personally… block him/her. When you block an ex they can’t see you or anything you do on Facebook. They can’t even see a comment you make on a mutual friend’s wall or a photo. The only way they can see you on Facebook is if you appear in a photo of a mutual friend and the mutual friend is also in the photo. Otherwise you are invisible to them.

4. Don’t look up their profile: Blocking them helps make this easy, but don’t be tempted to look up your ex’s profile. You are usually better off not knowing.

5. Don’t assume it’s about you: If you see something on an ex’s profile that says something to the effect of, “I am so happy right now in my life I can’t stand it,” don’t assume that your ex posted it there to piss you off. He or she may have, but you have to assume they are not using Facebook as a weapon of destruction. That is why the block feature is so handy.

6. Don’t use friends walls for your grief: If you are going to vent, use your own wall to do so. Or better yet, think twice and don’t post!

7. Don’t create fake accounts to spy: I never did this, but I know people who have. Sometimes I think there might be a good reason, especially if you have children with your ex or some other type of pending legal matter. But when you have to create phony profiles to see what is up, you are entering place called crazytown.

8. Don’t broadcast new relationships: There is nothing wrong with changing your relationship status, however I made the mistake while rebounding of putting too much out there about my new and short-lived relationships. There is nothing like telling the universe “I found love again!” but you may not get what you are hoping for. You can scare off the new partner, start a war with your ex, and is it really worth it?

9. Beware of Twitter: Don’t follow your ex on Twitter unless you have children together. Also don’t look at their tweets and if you can, lock your own account so that your ex needs permission to see your tweets. Be discreet about what you put on Twitter; if you have friends in common your ex may know everything you are writing.

10. Shut down your Facebook account temporarily or delete it entirely: Facebook allows you to shut down your account for as long as you want and start it up again with the same friends and contacts. I did this on multiple occasions to give myself a break and I found it somewhat wonderful.

You are bound to be slightly insane after a divorce, and you are better off not making matters worse by publicly pulling everyone else into your drama. Easier said then done, but you will get through it. Eventually social media will just be another way to talk to friends from high school, not a way to exorcise your demons. Things will get normal again; it just takes time.

Ashton Kutcher, Lea Michele Not Dating Friend

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore’s divorce is now known to everyone but that doesn’t mean Kutcher is dating friend Lea Michele. Sure, there were a lot of questions following the 33-year-old actor’s overly friendly flirting during the New Year’s Eve premiere a few nights ago but the flirting hasn’t gone any farther says friends of Michele’s.

The insider said, “There is no truth to the rumors that they are a couple. If they were dating, they would have kept as far apart as possible on the red carpet. Do you really think Ashton is ready to announce his first post-Demi romance and dating friend on a red carpet in front of all the entertainment media in L.A.? Lea is his love interest in the ensemble film but not in real life. She just split up with her boyfriend [actor Theo Stockman] and isn’t ready to start dating yet, and neither is he.”

This source has a valid point. Despite the world thinking Kutcher is a dog for what he did to Moore; even he isn’t stupid enough to parade his new girlfriend around to the press just yet. The chemistry Kutcher and Michele have onscreen is already drawing rave reviews but that’s only because they are good actors who were able to play off of each other.

Ashton Kutcher will most like make get back into the party scene while living it up at his potential $10 million bachelor pad like Kris Humphries, who is also newly single. Why rush into another serious relationship when you just got out of one? This time around, Kutcher will probably wait a few years before rushing down the aisle like he did with Demi Moore.

Lea Michele is also working on her career right now. With a recent breakup in her back pocket, there’s no sound reason to go looking for love right away; especially not with a cheater like Ashton.

5 Tips for Dating an Actor

The dating game can be hard; I mean we’re all so very different aren’t we? No matter how many relationships you’ve had in the past, you’re never prepared for what comes next. Most of all, a successful relationship requires a lot of work from both sides, and any imbalance (perceived or deliberate) can mean an end to the fun before you’ve even gotten started.

…

I’m sure you’ve all heard the term “opposites attract”. Though I wouldn’t go so far as to call this a concrete scientific fact, I would venture to say that it is, at least, a truism. We… as emotional, sexual, social beings, seem to be pulled towards the sort of partner who will challenge us and take us out of our comfort zone. Of course this isn’t always the case, and ideally, most of us are searching for someone who shares some of our interests and passions.  It is tough to build a relationship without finding some sort of common ground on which to lay the foundation.

…

So with this in mind, I’ve put together a short list of tips to help you, my faithful readers, make your way through a relationship with a certain type of individual: The Actor. Now before you go questioning my qualifications to impart any sort of wisdom on this esoteric topic, I must tell you that I have had a bit of experience with this fickle creature, which I will now draw from to create this list of helpful hints. Also, please note that my use of the word “actor” refers to both the male and female practitioners of this artful trade; though my firsthand experience is gleaned solely from the latter, finer sex. Despite the fact that I’ve never dated any male actors, I’ve attempted to make this list as widely applicable as possible to both sexes, though a small prejudice towards one may bare out in the writing.

…

So here it is, without further ado… 5 tips for dating an actor.

Be Supportive

Although this one is a good quality to bring to any relationship, it applies even more strongly when dating an actor. You see, the actor is a very self-conscious animal. How could they not be, when their chosen profession virtually guarantee’s they be subjected to an inordinate amount of criticism and rejection. So when they come home to you, don’t be surprised if the actor is looking for a little support or reassurance. Give it to them, and lay it on thick. It doesn’t hurt to help them run lines for their next audition either. I promise, the positive energy you send their way will be returned a hundred fold. (i.e) Hopefully they hire you on as a pool boy/girl once they hit it big.

Treat It Like A Real Job

Believe me when I say that there is nothing an actor hates more than having their life’s dream dismissed as some kind of hobby or passing fancy. If you ever find yourself enamored of a thespian, remember, these people take their craft very, very seriously and dislike any hints that what they’re doing may not pan out into what (most of us) would call a real career. Acting requires a ton of dedication, and in order to dedicate yourself to something so fiercely, you have to believe that the dream will someday come true. Having someone around who disparages those lofty ambitions only serves to depress the actor. And a depressed actor does not a good bed-fellow make.

Try Role-Playing

Okay. This one is a little on the selfish side, but it’s simply too important to leave off the list.  So you find yourself dating an actor. Everything is going great, in fact the two of you are happy as clams, and the world is all butterflies and rainbows. Now it’s time to turn down the cute factor and turn up the kinkyness. Have you ever wanted to play dress up in the bedroom and explore some of your more closely guarded fantasies? Well now is your chance! Who better than an actor to help you play out that naughty nurse or sexy babysitter scenario you’ve kept hidden from your other relationships. Don’t be shy. The actor will jump at the opportunity to indulge your whims since it serves as a chance for them to hone their craft as well. In addition to their willingness to participate, the actor will dive so deeply into the role-play that you might just get more than you bargained for. Come next morning you may find that last night’s sexy librarian has gone method, and is demanding you return those overdue library books… or else.

Don’t Give In

When you’re in a relationship with an actor, it is my experience that they will try their darndest to lure you over to their craft. DON’T DO IT! One has only to look as far as Hollywood to see that love-affairs between actors simply do not work. Chalk it up to ego, schedules, or pure boredom with each other, relationships between actors seem to be doomed before they start. If you do decide to join the theatrical ranks, there really is no way the situation will end favorably. Either you suck really bad and your other half loses interest completely after watching you butcher a monologue in front of their acting class, or you somehow discover you have a god-given skill for such things and your other half becomes insanely jealous of your effort

Don’t Bring The Camera Into The Bedroom

As titillating as it may be to reminisce about last night’s sexual escapades while watching them in wide-screen high definition, this one is a total deal-breaker when dating an actor. Of course it takes a lot of balls (or umm, ovaries) to consider producing a “home-movie” with yourself and your partner as the main characters. But when your partner is an actor, balls and ovaries aren’t the only thing in question. There are other concerns. Very real concerns. Consider the popularity of “celebrity” sex-tapes these days. Ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends surreptitiously releasing private footage taken with loving consent, in order to make a quick buck. The reality of it is, the worst that can happen to us regular people if some of that private footage finds it’s way out is a little bit of embarrassment. Nothing that can’t be quickly forgotten or laughed off. For an actor the danger is further reaching. In their mind’s, any home-movie is a potential career killing bomb. Doesn’t matter if they’re not exactly house-hold names at the moment. One day, when the actor has reached their full potential, a video of them taking a cock up the ass is the last thing they want floating around on some ex’s hard drive. And don’t even attempt to argue the virtues of such tapes for resurrecting floundering celebrities. That sort of thing will fall on deaf ears and earn you a one way ticket to the doghouse.

…

If you are dating an actor, have in the past, or just think you might give it a shot one day, I hope these tips have been useful. If not, I might come out with some tips for dating a musician. Of course it depends on if I garner some pertinent life experience first. Until then… stay tasty my friends.
