Snow White and the Huntsman
has a darker side to it
A O SCOTT
NYT SYNDICATE
’M not sure this counts as a spoiler of anything other than Universal’s sleek and seductive marketing campaign — which has properly emphasised crows, swords and Charlize
Theron’s hair — but there are actually some
dwarfs in the new movie Snow White and the
Huntsman. The small fellows who befriend the
exiled princess here are nothing like the grumpy,
sneezy, dopey guys you remember from the Disney
version. The actors who play them (including Ian
McShane, Eddie Marsan, Ray Winstone and the
great Bob Hoskins, all digitally shrunken) might
otherwise have been assembled for a nasty little
Cockney gangster film. These dwarfs are industrious, but they don’t whistle while they work. Their
most memorable song is a haunting dirge performed at the funeral pyre of a fallen comrade. So
take note: There is nothing cute about this movie.
And that feels right. There is something exciting
about how seriously Snow White and the
Huntsman takes its themes. Most of the fairy tales
that have become fixtures of modern popular culture — including those, like Snow White, published
by the Brothers Grimm in the early 19th century —
emerged from the dark, violent folk landscape of
early modern Europe. They are fables of innocence, but also of terror, dense with superstition
and sexual anxiety. Walt Disney’s justly
beloved 1937 animated feature, though it has
some spooky, gothic visual touches, expelled
most of the demons and turned the heroine
into an emblem of chaste and cheerful domestic normalcy. Since then, Hollywood fairy tales
have mainly tacked between wide-eyed romanticism and winking self-consciousness.
Snow White and the Huntsman, directed
by the first-timer Rupert Sanders from a
script by Evan Daugherty, John Lee
Hancock and Hossein Amini, tries
something new. Or maybe something
old, even atavistic. Though it is an
ambitious — at times mesmerising —
application of the latest cinematic
technology, the movie tries to
recapture some of the menace of the stories that
used to be told to scare children rather than console them. Its mythic-medieval landscapes are
heavily shadowed and austere, and its flights of
magic are summoned from a zone of barely suppressed rage and dangerous power.
Most of the power and nearly all of the rage
belong to Ravenna, Theron as golden-haired,
furious queen. Having murdered the king on
their wedding night and imprisoned his
daughter in a tower, Ravenna preens in
front of her liquid-metal mirror, plucks
the hearts out of birds (with metal fingernail
extensions
apparently
designed for that purpose) and terrorises her subjects. She is loyally
attended by her creepy brother,
Finn (Sam Spruell) — a kind of Dorian
Gray portrait of his flawless sister, the ugliness of
whose soul seems inscribed on his leering, pitted face
— but otherwise alone in the castle of her cruelty.
I
The evil stepmothers of the past have
been monsters of self-generating
female narcissism, but Ravenna seems
to be a woman with a legitimate grudge
against a male-dominated world of
sexual violence and patriarchal entitlement. With a slight shift of
emphasis, “Snow White and the
Huntsman” might have been her
story, the tale of a victim turned
righteous avenger. And it may be
that being denied this status fuels
Ravenna’s resentment. Her wrath
PLAYING IN
DOHA
THEATRES
is directed principally at other
women: at the girls whose youth and
beauty she steals to feed the spell that
keeps her from aging, and at the
blameless princess who threatens her
simply by being young and alive.
That would be Snow White, of
course, played by Kristen Stewart at
the precise point of intersection
between action heroine and damsel in
distress. Since Ms. Stewart has become,
thanks to “Twilight,” the very embodiment
of romantic indecision, there are two pos-

sible suitors chivalrously circling her. Or two
unshaven dudes, at any rate, vying to protect her
and dividing the audience into Team Handsome
Prince and Team Huntsman.
The “prince” is William (Sam Claflin), a childhood
friend of Snow’s and the son of a nobleman who has
remained loyal to the memory of her father. He is a
gifted archer and a dashing enough young man, but
there really is no contest. The movie is not called
“Snow White and William.” The Huntsman, a harddrinking, belligerent widower with no other name,
has the advantage of being played by Chris
Hemsworth — Thor! — with sly, gruff magnetism.
After an overwrought beginning — during
which drops of blood fall to the snow with a
crash, and James Newton Howard’s score
roars and howls like Wagner with a stubbed
toe — the movie comes down to earth and
springs to life when Hemsworth shows up.
His huntsman, like the dwarfs, is a gruff
human presence in a world that might
otherwise have been too airily and
abstractly fantastical.
In turn, the roughness of those characters, along with the scratchy earth
tones of Greig Fraser’s cinematography, make possible episodes of
enchantment that feel fresh even to
eyes that have seen everything under the digital
sun. A terrifying slog through the dark forest, a
serene sojourn in the garden of the fairies, a visit
to an encampment of women and children —
each of these scenes casts its own specific and
effective spell.
In this carefully imagined reality — the production designer, Dominic Watkins, has done
exceptional work — Theron is, if not the fairest,
then surely the most striking one of all. She has
a remarkable ability to mix coldness and sorrow, and as the special effects etch lines on her
face and then smooth them away, she at once
invites and refuses sympathy. Ravenna, taught
as a girl that beauty was the source of power, has
made herself into a perfect aesthetic object and
destroyed herself in the process. Snow White,
rather than try to beat her in the contest of
appearances, must create a new game, based on a
different meaning of “fairness” and on her own
modest, real-girl appeal. Stewart, stumbling
through the forest and racing through an awkward, Shakespeare-lite speech to her hastily
mustered good-guy army, understands the job
perfectly and undertakes it in good faith. Her
Snow White is part of an interesting new breed
of warrior princesses — Katniss Everdeen is
their current leader — whose ascendance
reflects the convergence of commercial
calculations and cultural longings.
Long may they reign.

FOOD
Sweet and spicy
twice cooked
Chinese duck
DAVID TANIS
NYT SYNDICATE
AM a huge fan of Chinese food, but I’ve never had any real training
in its preparation. My education, if you could call it that, has been
gleaned mostly from travel, cookbooks, advice from friends and eating in restaurants.
Raised on mostly Western fare – for me, the cooking is reliably intuitive
– I find that when I want to veer eastward in the kitchen, it is necessary to
get into a particular mind-set. Although I fear my approach is always burdened with a certain cultural disadvantage, I forge ahead, fairly certain the
result will be delectable, if not entirely authentic.
Two things I know for sure: Because the cooking process is swift for
many Chinese dishes, ingredients need to be tidily organised and stoveside before the flame is ignited. The other is that food always tastes best
straight from the wok.
There’s even a term for it, wok-chi or wok-hei, which means breath
of the wok. Chinese cooks say the flavourful life force of the food,
gained from a quick high-heat sear, can be fleeting, gone in only a few
minutes. Though the dish may still taste good, a certain elusive quality
is lost, which is why takeout and steam-table dishes always lack the
brightness of those freshly cooked and served. Cooking hot and fast is
the key.
Still, for certain dishes, like the one I made at home this week, there is
a slow component, too. I wanted to make a duck dish in the manner of
twice-cooked pork, usually made with shoulder or belly. I had bought
large Muscovy duck legs and thought they would be good candidates for
this technique.
The principle is attractive: The meat is seasoned and gently simmered
well ahead of the final cooking. It can even be cooked several days ahead.
Then, at the last minute, the chopped, cooked, fat-laced meat is briefly
stir-fried; showered with aromatics like ginger, orange zest, garlic, cumin
and hot pepper; splashed with rice wine, and finished with just-wilted pea
shoots.
Both sweet and spicy, it was entirely satisfying, so I want to make it
again soon. Next time, instead of jasmine rice, I may serve it with glutinous rice, or with steamed buns.
Twice-cooked duck with pea shoots
Time: About 20 minutes, plus about 1 hour for initial duck simmering
4 Muscovy duck legs, about 1 pound each (or 4 pounds smaller Pekin
legs)
Salt
1 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
4 thick slices ginger
1 large onion, halved
4 tablespoons rice wine
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon spicy black bean paste (available at Chinese grocers)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2-inch chunk ginger, peeled and cut in fine julienne
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
8 to 10 small dried red chili peppers
1 teaspoon cumin seed
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 ounces pea shoots, leaves and tendrils (or use baby spinach or mizuna leaves)
3 tablespoons slivered scallions.
Method: 1. With a sharp knife, trim any excess fat from the duck legs,
leaving the skin intact. Trim the skin a bit, too, if it seems quite thick.
Reserve duck fat for another purpose. Season each leg generously with
salt, then sprinkle with the five-spice powder, rubbing the seasoning into
the meat. Place the duck legs in a heavy-bottomed pan along with the ginger slices and onion. Cover with four cups water and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer gently, covered, until the meat is fairly tender
when probed with a paring knife, about 45 minutes. Take the duck legs
from the pot and let them cool. Remove the meat from the bones and chop
into rough half-inch pieces. Strain and cool the cooking broth and skim
any fat from surface. This step may be done up to two days in advance of
finishing the dish.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the rice wine, soy sauce, brown
sugar, orange zest, black bean paste and sesame oil. Put the julienne
ginger, chopped garlic, red chili peppers and cumin seed on a small
plate. Measure one cup of defatted duck broth. Mix the cornstarch and
water in a small container. Have all these ingredients in easy reach of
the stove.
3. In a wok or large cast-iron skillet, heat the vegetable oil over high
heat. Add the chopped duck meat and let it sizzle, stirring well, until
crisp and lightly browned, about two minutes. Season lightly with salt.
Lower heat to medium high and add the ginger, garlic, red chili peppers
and cumin seed. Stirring often, cook for one minute more, taking care
not to burn the garlic. Add the rice wine mixture and duck broth and
bring to a brisk simmer. Stir in the cornstarch mixture; cook until lightly thickened, 30 seconds or so. Turn off heat and add the pea shoots,
mixing them into the sauce until barely wilted. Transfer to a platter and
sprinkle with scallions.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Seating guests at party
no trifling matter
JUDITH NEWMAN
NYT SYNDICATE
WASN’T the most popular
kid in high school, so I’m
always happy, if a little startled, to be invited to a party.
It doesn’t matter whether I
can go, or even whether I want to.
Thank you for inviting me. You’ve
made my day. But as the summer
party season gets into full swing, I
and so many other partyers have
another source of social anxiety:
arranged seating. Whether the event
is at the White House or your own
house, arranged seating is an occasion for major tea-leaf reading.
Who’s sitting where? Why? What’s
the agenda?
A few summers ago, I was at a
tented party in the Hamptons seated
next to the host’s boss. At first, I was
happy. Then I began to wonder. Was
this a seat of honour, or was I considered the only person innocuous and
boring enough not to say anything
offensive? I couldn’t decide.
Then I recalled that my friend
hated his boss. Why was I next to the
one person my host despised more
than anyone in that room?
Regardless, I felt such pressure to be
charming and gay to a total stranger
that my own husband felt ignored
and took our son and left in a huff.
“Wars have almost broken out
over seating,” says Selwa Roosevelt,
known as Lucky, the chief of protocol
during the Reagan presidency. In her
memoir, Keeper of the Gate, she
cites a duel at a 17th-century court
ball in London between a Russian
envoy and a French ambassador
over proper placement.
“Otherwise wonderful people in fine mental health
will behave like lunatics if
they think they’ve been
slighted,” she says,
which is one reason she
keeps meticulous files
of the seating of guests
at her own parties.
The most powerful
people in the land are not
immune to seating-arrangement worries, for themselves
or their guests. Last March, the
Obamas ruffled more than a few
feathers by breaking with White
House protocol: At a dinner for
Prime Minister David Cameron of
Britain, instead of hosting different
tables, the couple sat near each
other.
“When it comes to seating at a
White House event, the idea is:
Spread the wealth around,” one capital doyenne says. “Everyone wants
to sit next to the Obamas. So if they
seat themselves next to each other,
that’s giving up two prime seats.”
Etiquette mavens declare that
arranged seating has powerful
meaning and purpose, aside from
reflecting the guests’ status or keeping enemies far apart. “Rule No 1 for
seating is to put talkative people in
the middle of the table on both sides
so they can keep the conversation
fluid, and full of life,” says Patricia
Rossi, author of Everyday Etiquette:
How to Navigate 101 Common and
Uncommon Social Situations. “Try
to seat husbands and wives apart
and also best friends so they can
break out of their same old chain
gang banter and rituals.”
Jennifer Gilbert, the CEO of the
event planning company Save the
Date, agrees, and goes a step further:
“Arranged seating is the only decent
thing to do. Every party is about the
seating – period.”
And not just at the parties she
arranges professionally. “I feel it is
unkind to not assign seating. I am a
connector of people. I have set people up, and I have created businesses
because of my seating,” Gilbert says.
I
Gilbert has a point. But
here’s a very different
guest point of view:
Arranged seating can be
daunting for even the
most gregarious of us.
My primary source of
worry is not whether or
not I’m at the power
table. It’s that I’ve been
placed next to someone
for a reason I can’t
discern – but that it’s
important to someone,
somewhere, and I might
let that person down
And it works: Lucky Roosevelt tells
of going to a party in honour of one
of her heroes, Placido Domingo, and
being seated next to the great tenor.
Not only did a lifelong friendship
start that evening, but a few years
later Roosevelt was the key to convincing Domingo to take over the
directorship of the Washington
National Opera. He has been credited with making the company a real
force in the opera world.
Not to have arranged seating isn’t
just lazy, Gilbert says, it’s asking for
trouble. “At a recent wedding, the
bride felt I was being too formal and
stuffy,” she says. “She wanted a
‘casual’ event. Well, here’s what happens when you’re casual: It becomes
a free-for-all. One of the bridesmaids
and her fiance ended up sitting at the
table with the guy’s ex-fiancee, the
one he’d left for the new fiancee. You
think maybe that was a little tense?”

even the most gregarious of us. My

to someone for a reason I can’t discern – but that it’s important to
someone, somewhere, and I might
let that person down.
So perhaps in this summer party
season, we should all admit to our
own ambivalence about strong-arming our guests into a particular party
pattern. Certainly this seemed to be
the case a few years ago with a successful sports coach who is not
known for his sociability, but who
nevertheless was giving an intimate
dinner party at his home. Greg
Nichols, a neighbour and president
of Lucky Dog Vodka, was among the
guests.
“I really didn’t know this guy
and wasn’t sure why I was there,
but I liked him a lot and I was
glad to be invited,” says Nichols,
who was joined by various local
luminaries.
As people arrived, the coach hadn’t
shown up yet, so the guests milled
around for a bit before they were all
called to the table. Finally they all sat
down, and the host came in. “He
started to sit down, looked us over,
then got this look in his eye,” Nichols
recalls. “Then he said: ‘I’ll be right
back. I just want to take a quick
shower.”’
He never returned.

Colbie Caillat swarmed by bugs
Rihanna to appear in comedy film
COLBIE Caillat, best known for her hit single Bubbly, was performing that very song in Pittsburgh this week when she asked the
crowd to join in. They obliged. A crowd of insects took a strong
interest in her, as well. Around the halfway point, bugs swarmed
Caillat to the point where they interrupted the song, forcing the
beautiful singer to run for cover. Gamely, she returned and had the
crowd help her finish the tune: “My goodness. I am traumatised
from the bazillion bugs that were literally raining on me from the
sky while singing on stage,” she wrote afterward. Caillat, who’s
touring with Gavin DeGraw, may be a girly girl, but she’s a good
sport. One who will advocate for indoor venues from now on.
POP star Rihanna has bagged another film role after making her
debut in Battleship. She’s starring in Seth Rogen’s new comedy
The End Of The World. The 24-year-old first put her acting talents to the test playing a tough cadet in the Peter Berg movie and
now she’s trying her comedy skills for Rogen’s movie. Rihanna
was spotted shooting scenes with actress Emma Watson in New
Orleans, Louisiana recently, alongside co-star Jonah Hill, reports
contactmusic.com. The Umbrella hitmaker also took to Twitter to
drop hints about the project, telling fans, “Movie time in NO, all
my fav comedians in 1 room! Pure
laughs non stop(sic)”.

Drew Barrymore marries
Will Kopelman
US WEEKLY
SOURCE confirmed to Us
Weekly that Barrymore,
37, and Will Kopelman,
34 said “I do” on Saturday
evening at the actress’
Montecito, California estate. The couple, currently expecting their first
child together, had their family and
closest friends in attendance, including Cameron Diaz, pregnant Reese
Witherspoon and her husband Jim
Toth, Busy Phillips, Jimmy Fallon and
his wife Nancy Juvonen.
For the Jewish ceremony — complete with a custom-made chuppah
(canopy) and performed by
Kopelman’s rabbi — the Big Miracle
star wore a Chanel gown. (Art consultant Kopelman’s father, Arie
Kopelman, is the former CEO of
Chanel.) Barrymore attended her final
dress fitting in Beverly Hills on
Thursday with the help of Diaz, 39,
her best friend and costar in 2000’s
Charlie’s Angles. “Drew has been
leaning on Cameron a lot,” an insider
told Us. “Cameron has been very
involved.”
As designed by Gazebo Flowers, floral
arrangements
included
“hydrangeas, small irises, cream and
pink roses and lavender lilies,”
according to another source.
This is Barrymore’s third marriage.
The former child star married Welsh
bar owner Jeremy Thomas in March
1994 — only to split one month later.
A
Barrymore and Kopelman briefly dated in 2010
and reunited in February 2011. Kopelman
proposed in December 2011 during the holidays
in Sun Valley, Idaho
Her second marriage, was to comedian Tom Green in July 2001. Green
filed for divorce that December.
Barrymore and Kopelman briefly
dated in 2010 and reunited in
February 2011. Kopelman proposed
in December 2011 during the holidays
in Sun Valley, Idaho. Barrymore has
yet to confirm her pregnancy, but has
been proudly showing her growing
baby bump. A pal told said that,
Barrymore decided on a June wedding because she wanted “to get married before the baby comes, but doesn’t want to be huge.”
“Drew has found a family that she
wants to be a part of, for so long she
had the fun friends and career success
but always wanted to be part of a
close family, like Will’s,” says an
insider.
The Wedding Singer star told
Ellen DeGeneres she’s in love with
Kopelman’s entire family. “He
has this incredible family,”
Barrymore gushed on February
1. “I am in love with his family
as I am with him. Which is an
extraordinary sort of gift.
You never take that for
granted...It really is an
absolute blessing. I
feel very lucky.
They’re incredible people.”

Hilary Duff finds
motherhood incredible
TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK
CTRESS Olivia Wilde
has revealed that she
secretly battled weight
and sleep issues after her marriage broke up last year. The
Tron: Legacy star admits she
went through “a manic phase”
and turned to food to “selfmedicate” after initially losing
weight during a battle with
insomnia, reports contactmusic.com.
“I lost a bunch of weight and
I was really never sleeping... I
moved in with a girlfriend and
she said, ‘You don’t sleep; you
sleep three hours a night!’
Then you go through a period
where you’re self-medicating
with something to fill a void
because you have created a
void by removing someone
from you. There’s a chunk
missing and people fill it with
all sorts of things,” she told
TV talk show presenter
Amanda De Cadenet.
“I’m a healthy person, but I
definitely packed it on because
I wanted to feel a buffer
between me and the pain,
because the world started getting really scary and new relationships (and) dating was a
lot more painful than I ever
imagined,” she added.

ILARY Duff is absolutely
over the moon about her 2month old baby boy Luca.
“There’s really no words to describe
it,” Duff said of motherhood. “It’s
the most incredible thing every day.
It softens you so much. I
feel like a big
mushy ball.”
But is little
Luca keeping
Duff and her
hockey-
H
star hubby Mike Comrie from
enjoying married life?
“We go out like once a week
together and try and do something
fun,” the 24-year-old said. “We
either go to dinner…we’re going
bowling next week. It’s weird
scheduling so much because we
used to do things on a whim and no
we have to schedule. But it’s good.
It’s really important for one’s relationship.”
As for how Comrie, 31, is as a dad,
Duff gushed, “He’s really incredible. He’s so hands-on, so thought-
ful, so loving. He’s really a natural,
it’s incredible. I got really lucky.”
Duff says they won’t be having
any more little ones any time soon.
“Obviously we want more kids but
we want to really enjoy Luca. I’m
young. I still want to work and I feel
like I have a lot to do.”
Speaking of work, Duff is jumping
back in the music studio. “I’m getting kind of nervous,” she said.
“Next week I have all these meetings set with different producers
and writers. I’m excited to start that
process and I’m so nervous.”

After tigress, Priyanka adopts lioness
Maddy’s accidental dip during golf
AFTER tigress Durga, Priyanka Chopra has adopted lioness Sundari of
Ranchi’s Birsa Munda zoo, an official said. “We have received a
cheque of Rs200,000 from Priyanka Chopra foundation. She has
adopted lioness Sundari,” a zoo official said. The contract will last till
April 30, 2013. The official said Priyanka had adopted tigress Durga
last year. That contract ended April 30. Last year the Ranchi zoo introduced a scheme for adoption of animals. One can adopt any animal
for a period of one year to 11 years. The money is used for the upkeep
of the animals and to create awareness about wildlife. Besides individuals, some corporate houses and public sector undertakings have
adopted elephants, peacocks, tigers and leopards.

at a game of golf will leave him stinking cold and smelly.
“Had a crazy day today. Played golf in one of the top
end courses in Chicago... became so competitive that
while taking aim and trying to avoid a goose. I fell backward into the lake... lol... came out stinking cold and
smelly,” Madhavan tweeted. He took it in his stride.
“But showered in the locker room, bought some new
clothes and went back and played. Freaked out the guy
at the pro shop. But crazy adventure. No injuries or
trauma at all. HAD Funn,” he further posted.

I almost fainted when Shirin’s
role was offered, says Farah
“For almost a week I
thought they were
joking. When they
told me it had
Boman, half the
job was done”
IANS
ARAH Khan, who makes
her acting debut with
Shirin Farhad Ki Toh
Nikal Padi, says she was
completely shocked when
she was offered the role of Shirin in
Bela Bhansali Sehgal’s directorial
debut.
“It was not a conscious decision. I
thought Bela and Sanjay (Bhansali)
wanted me to choreograph a song.
But when they gave me the script, I
almost fainted,” Farah, a choreographer-turned-director-turned-actress,
told reporters.
Co-produuced
by
Eros
International
and
Bhansali
Productions, the film will see Farah
and Boman Irani as the lead pair.
“For almost a week I thought they
were joking. When they told me it had
Boman, half the job was done,” she
added.
Talking about the genre of the film,
Farah insisted that it is not just a
comedy, but a mixture of all emotions.
“At the end of the climax, you will
F
Farah Khan and Boman Irani (right).
be crying. There is a lot of emotion.
Every time Boman makes that last
speech to me, I cry... it has everything
in it,” she said.
Farah is happy to make her debut
with Bela’s directorial venture.
“I am so happy that I have made
my (acting) debut with a woman
director. This makes it so
much easier. As much
as I am a control freak,
I gave complete control to Bela...We
would improvise and ask Bela if I
could do something or wear something, but other than that, I was an
actress,” said Farah, who has
directed films like Main Hoon Na
and Om Shanti Om.
Acting was not easy for Farah and
she added “I was very scared of my
own reaction because I was over critical of the movie and myself. When I
saw the film, it was like a lot of
weight was off me,” she added.
But Bela is delighted with Farah’s
work.
“Farah really suited the
character. She played it so
well that I don’t think anyone
else could have done it. She is
a born actress,” she said. Bela
says that she conceptualised the
movie about eight years ago and that
is inspired by a real life story.
“I had thought of the movie eight
years ago and I wanted Boman and
Farah only. And after eight years we
made this film,” she said.
Bipasha behind
Rana Daggubati, Trisha split?
TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK
HE smoke did arise a
while back about
Bipasha’s love affair
with hot-shot Rana Duggabati,
but the actor doused it off
immediately before speculations
about the alleged romance
spread like wildfire, claiming
that they were just good friends.
Rana maintained that he was
in a steady relationship with his
long-time girlfriend Trisha and
there was no way he was
digressing from the beautiful
T
relation he shared with the
South Indian actress.
But now the grapevine has it
that Trisha and Rana have parted
ways and it is believed that
Bipasha might have been the reason for discord between them.
According to a source,
“Rana’s flirtatious ways and
rumours of his closeness to
Bipasha Basu irked Trisha.
Also, his Hindi film commitments made it impossible to
divide time between Mumbai
and
Hyderabad.
Trisha’s
Bollywood career, on the other
hand, never really took off
after Khatta Meetha failed
to make an impact.”
Interestingly, Rana too is
learnt to have had a quite
colourful love life as before
Trisha, the dishy actor dated
another hottie from the South,
the very gorgeous Shriya Saran.
But their budding romance
could not graduate to the next
level because of Trisha’s entry
in Rana’s life. Looks like Trisha
is readying herself for the same
fate as Saran after Bips’ entry
in Rana’s life!
