Chitrangada quits 'Babumoshai Bandookbaaz' post ugly spat with director?

Chitrangada has always been one such actress who's cordial with the cast and crew of the films she is part of. However, a recent turn of events rubbed the actress on the wrong side and she was left fuming. According to a reliable source, Chitrangada was shooting for Kushan Nandy's forthcoming film 'Babumoshai Bandookbaaz'. While filming an intimate scene with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the actress was asked to take retakes to perfect the shot. A source close to the production house revealed that Kushan got a bit too engaged in the scene which required Nawaz to only pull Chitrangada roughly on the bed. What followed was a series of statements made by the director that enraged the actress. "Chitrangada, you ought to get literally on top of Nawaz. Tange ragdo and sex karo," among the many. Angered by this, Chitrangada got into a verbal spat with Kushan post which she decided to quit the film. The actress touched base in Mumbai and Swara Bhaskar is likely to be roped in for the role.

Why Nargis Fakhri didn't enjoy kissing Emraan Hashmi?

This one is a shocker! Considering Emraan Hashmi is to kissing what Virat Kohli is to cricket, it comes as a big shock that Nargis Fakhri- Emraan’s co-star in his next biopic Azhar- didn't enjoy filming a song that had a lot of kissing involved. Now the world knows how pro Emraan Hashmi is when it comes to kissing his heroines on screen and we have never heard any of his female co-stars complaining about Emraan's kissing skills. Hence, it's almost unbelievable to know that Nargis Fakhri, who plays Sangeeta Bijlani on screen (Mohammad Azharuddin ex-wife), wasn't comfortable indulging in too much intimacy with Emraan. In her interview to Mumbai Mirror, Nargis says, “I probably didn’t enjoy filming the song as much as he did. Lots of kissing happened… In fact, there was so much of it that at one point I wasn’t sure if they were retakes, a part of the song or someone playing a prank on me.” This is definitely an alarming situation for Emraan who has enjoyed the reputation of a serial kisser for more than a decade. Since Nargis seems to be quite upset with the whole experience, maybe it's time for Emraan to 'kiss' and make-up!

We know you guys can't wait any more for the song to release, but for now, click on the next slide to read about celebs who were uncomfortable shooting intimate scenes...

Action star Arnold Schwarzenegger has admitted he found it "embarrassing but fun" stripping off for his latest movie Terminator Genisys, reports PTI. The 67-year-old actor, who had to strip off for his latest movie Terminator Genisys, said despite his worries, he enjoys the risque scenes, reported Contactmusic. "(Nude scenes) are embarrassing, but fun. It leads to funny conversations and funny dialogue and great humour and everything like that. It's inevitable, you have to do it because it's what the movie shows, and there are certain times you can cover things up, and there are certain times you don't and you can't. So what? I don't think there's anyone here that has anything to hide," he said.
