Sunil Dutt walks for a cause

Dutt emphasised inclusion of the handicapped in schools and colleges. He wanted them to be provided with the opportunity to receive a normal education.

Celina's in trouble

Celina Jaitley had it easy. Making her presence felt in Bollywood was very difficult as producers were keen to sign the reigning Miss India.

Mukesh Bhatt selected her for Vikram Bhatt's Kalyug. Feroz Khan signed her opposite Fardeen and she also has a film opposite cricketer Ajay Jadeja.

But, Celina now finds herself in a spot of bother. The reason -- the music video O, Kehdi she did for Canadian singer, Jazzy B.

Producers are miffed because Celina opted to do this music video for a paltry amount. She had been told that overexposure would kill her film prospects. But, the lass paid no heed and the producers who wanted to cash in her novelty are left wringing their hands in despair. That, we are sure, is not thrilling news for Celina.

Rekha can fly

However, she has to travel before January 3, 2002.
