Sonam Kapoor

Baba Ramdev may have gained a few thousand more followers with his crusade against corruption but he's got some critics too. Sonam Kapoor, who has become the face of India International Jewellery Week, slammed Baba Ramdev on twitter recently.

She tweeted: 'I prefer Baa Baa Black Sheep over Baba Ramdev.'

And when a fan tweeted back to Sonam saying it's so rude, Sonam retorted: 'As rude as you should be to a sexist homophob!'

And Sonam isn't the only one. Jewellery designer and Hrithik Roshan's sister-in-law Farah Khan Ali is bored of Baba's antiques, it seems. 'Bored of Baba. A true believer does not run. He stands up 2 face d heat.Although I do believe d police should not have done what they did,' she tweeted.

'this time 4 years ago i was giving birth to my twins. anyone who is a doting parent knows how your life just changes in that moment 4 ever. it is the most wonderful gift ever but please dont have children if you are not prepared to love an cherish them. google me on red carpet of KungFu Panda yesterday in London with them!' she wrote.

Anurag Kashyap

Anurag Kashyap's most-awaited film Shaitan seems to be another hit in the making as the movie has received rave reviews even before hitting theatres. But more than to promote the film, Anurag appeared on Twitter in the wake of forgery allegations against Bejoy Nambiar, the director of the film to vouch for the man himself.

'Bejoy Nambiar is a man incapable of fraud, knowing him and his passion and having seen him work, i can say that proudly.' he tweeted.

Anurag was also all praise for Bejoy when we last touched base with him.

Meanwhile, if figures posted by Arbaaz Khan are to be believed then Ready is a huge hit. He tweeted: ''Ready' The weekend business is Rs 42.75 cr. 2nd highest opener of all times. Most movies register 60%-75% fall on Mon, unless its a holiday. But Mon figures of 'Ready' indicate only 40% fall. That's fantastic. Super !'
