Hrithik off on a holiday

Panag & the art of managing life
"I complete all my household tasks in the morning – like grocery, shopping or going to the bank, besides fixing appointments for the day and calling up people. That leaves me with the entire day to do what I want to at my own pace," says the former beauty queen. Panag, who originally hails from Delhi, is looking forward to working in Vikram Bhatt’s Jurm, to be shot in Kuala Lumpur. Even between shoots, she doesn’t waste her time. "Between shoots I get enough time to read. In fact, that’s how I managed to complete my MA in Political Science through correspondence from Punjab University. Now I hope to do a Ph.D in International Relations or another MA in Psychology," says Panag, who reads at least three books in a month. The three things that assist Panag are "my Palm 505, Nokia cellphone and my weekly lists", she says, adding: "My lists are a life-saver, where I write down everything that has to be completed within a week so that there’s no stress. "The key to time management is to be organised and not feel stressed out about things that are not done. Give yourself the benefit of doubt and, if you believe me, making a weekly list is a must. If you can stick to your schedule, then you’ve won half the battle," concludes Panag. Well, she should know. |

Hrithik
Roshan has left for a long overseas holiday to an unknown
destination. Accompanying him is his wife, Suzanne. The two have
celebrated the New Year away from home. Meanwhile, rumours about
Rakesh Roshan starting his next film in January are just that, with
no truth whatsoever to them. The filmmaker, whose Koi… Mil Gaya
is the biggest hit of the year so far, has not even started hearing
scripts or story ideas.
THE
one thing that sets the rhythm of life for model-turned-actress Gul
Panag is waking up early. Starting her day as early as 6 am, she
goes for an hour-long swim because she says the pool is cleanest at
that hour and almost empty.
Action
man Sunil Shetty will be participating with children from the
Spastic Society and School of the Disabled and cancer-affected
youngsters in a marathon run. The marathon, scheduled for February
8, will start from Marine Drive and stretch to the Princess Street
flyover and back to Brabourne Stadium. The marathon is being held
under the banner of the Terry Fox Run, popularly called the Marathon
of Hope. The funds raised through it will be distributed in India
and the collection will be handed over to the Tata Memorial Hospital
for research on cancer. 
Ever
heard of a producer putting up a set in a foreign land? Well, that’s
exactly what producer Sajid Nadiadwala is doing for his comedy
flick, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. Producers usually shoot on
locations and bungalows when abroad. But besides that, Nadiadwala
will also shoot on a huge set he is getting built in Mauritius.
SO
what if Kareena Kapoor couldn’t leave an impact last year. The
actress is all set to bounce back and silence her detractors with a
cache of big banner films this year. "There is Dharmesh Darshan’s
Bewafa, where my character has shades of grey. This would be
followed by another offbeat role in Govind Nihalani’s Dev,
where I get a chance to act with Bachchan once again. My other films
include Satish Kaushik’s Milenge Milenge and Ken Ghosh’s
Fidaa. Don’t worry, there will be a lot of me in 2004," laughs
Kareena.
Madhuri
Dixit made one of her first public appearances in her current Mumbai
trip, on Christmas eve, at a variety entertainment programme.
Looking slim and pretty in a salwar-kameez and armed with her
1,000-watt smile, La Dixit made hearts of onlookers go dhak dhak as
she made a late entry (Mumbai traffic doesn’t spare even the stars!)
at the entertainment nite organised by former Bollywood actress
Swapna and her hubby, Raman Khanna.
