is the latest victim
of ATM fraud |  MODEL, actress and reality TV show contestant,
Anupama Verma is the latest victim of ATM fraud.
She was duped of Rs 17.36 lakhs from her account
at an ICICI bank branch in Bandra, Mumbai. Two former

the Best Movie for Grownups Who
Refuse to Grow Up.
But the AARP didn´t give up, coaxing
higher-wattage stars . |

decline the offer when it came knocking at her door,
because she has committed herself to two Tamil films.
Had she not been busy with these films, she would have
serenaded a stubble-faced Venkatesh in Shadow. The film is
directed by Meher Ramesh, who, the actress says, is like "my
brother". This is the other reason why Hansika Motwani feels
sorry to have not been able to work on the film.
"I share an excellent rapport with director Meher
Ramesh and he´s like a brother to me. I wish I were part of
the movie Shadow, but I just could not accommodate the
dates ... |
