Preity, Sush in DU

Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Imtiaz Ali, Minissha Lamba ... the list of ex-DU students in tinsel town is a pretty long one.

But it turns out that a couple of B-town celebs sought and obtained admission in DU after they became Bollywood A-listers. Preity Zinta apparently enrolled herself for a Bachelor’s degree in English at DU’s School of Open Learning (SOL) for the 2008-09 session, but withdrew her admission later and didn’t sit for the exams. Former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen enrolled herself for a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science in the 2007-08 academic session at SOL, but she also withdrew her admission later.

A source from SOL confirmed these facts. Imagine DU’s aspirational value – if they hadn’t withdrawn their admissions, technically, all DU freshers today would have had Preity and Sush as their seniors!

What's happening in Bollywood Town!

Shilpa Shetty sizzles on the cover of Vogue, celebs play cricket for charity, and some pretty girls around town.

Cover Girl: French actress Kalki Koechlin who wowed us with Dev D has landed her first magazine cover in the form on MW. We love the doll-like leggy beauty's Scottish checks trousers and jacket look. It's smart and sexy.


Hot and Sizzling: The bootylicious Miss Shetty shows off her curves with aplomb on the latest issue of Vogue. This is her first cover for the magazine.


Showing Off: Looks like Raima Sen is going the Riya Sen way and showing off some skin. At the CPAA, she was all covered but here she prefers to show off some cleavage. This isn’t bad (her shirt is a tad tight and make up a tad overdone) but we like her natural, traditional avatar better. Every actress wants to look sexy, but she should stand out from the rest.


Doll: Minishha Lamba looks like an adorable doll in the very yellow skirt and frilly white shirt that shows off her womanly frame. We like the girly look.


Doing Casual: With her bangs and dimples, Gul looks adorable too, and the scarf brightens up the dress, but we wish her sandals weren’t so boring


United: Aftab, Sohail, Aamir Ali, Chetan Hansraj and Cyrus Broacha were the men in blue who played a charitable match opposite a team of doctors to raise money for the Cancer Patients' Aid Association


Men in White: Funny men Javed Jaafrey and Govinda were the guests at the event


Revealed: Actress Ragini, of Radha ki Betiyaan fame, plays Bharti in the new serial, Bhaskar Bharti
