After playing a no-nonsense war correspondent in Shoojit Sircar's well received Madras Cafe, model-actress Nargis Fakhri is set to play a dietician in her new film Main Tera Hero.

Nargis, who shed a considerable amount of weight by going on a special juice diet, made her co-star Ileana D'Cruz try the same.

"I had a great time shooting in Bangkok. While I was there I always wanted to try a juice cleanse. I have heard and researched great things about giving your body a break from regular or junk food, so I decided to try a six-day juice cleanse. I lost three kilos in six days," Nargis said.

She also said that seeing her diet course, Illeana got curious. But she could do it only for one day, the actress said.

Main Tera Hero, a contemporary commercial Bollywood entertainer, features Varun Dhawan, Nargis Fakhri and Illeana D'Cruz in lead roles.

Produced by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures, the film hits cinema houses on April 4.

Amitabh Bachchan says he wants to be a friend, companion and support to his son Abhishek, who turned 38 today.

The occasion brought many old memories for the 71-year-old actor.

"Abhishek just turned 38...! It is obvious cliche to start speaking suddenly of the day and moment he was born and what we were up to, of how he behaved when young, of his growing up, his days then to now, little incidents of nostalgic flavour," Bachchan posted on his blog.

"Now it is best to be with him as an adult, a friend, a confidante, a support, a companion... That is best what occurs to me, and shall ever remain...," he further added.

Abhishek will be next seen in Farah Khan's Happy New Year, that co-stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Boman Irani among others.

Producer Ekta Kapoor's new sitcom Kumkum Bhagya is all set to replace Pavitra Rishta, which will be now shown in a new time slot.

Actor Shabbir Ahluwalia, who is making a comeback on daily soap with the show, will be seen playing the lead role of a rockstar opposite Balika Vadhu fame actress Sriti Jha.

Inspired by Jane Austen's classic Sense and Sensibility, Kumkum Bhagya on Zee TV revolves around the life of a mother who runs a marriage hall and lives with the hope of seeing her two daughters happily married some day.

'Pavitra Rishta has been on-air for over four years now and the journey has been most gratifying for me as a maker.

'After Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhie Bahu thi if there is any other show which is close to my heart, then it is Pavitra Rishta... All I can say about the new show is that is it's a very passionate story of love,' Ekta said in a statement.

The new show will air everyday at 9 PM, replacing Pavitra Rishta, which will be telecast from 6:30 PM.
