If there’s a contest for the most chilled-out star-in-the-making in Bollywood Imran Khan would probably win hands- down.

Nothing fazes Imran. Not even a road accident.

On Thursday afternoon as he was being driven to the venue of his rehearsals for Abhinay Deo’s Delhi Belly, a speeding vehicle bumped hard into his vehicle from behind damaging Imran’s car’s bumper and scratching the posh paint.

“There was some damage to the car, yes,” admitted Imran. “This happened right in front of Tulip Star hotel. Vehicles came to a standstill and we came down from our cars. I was in a hurry to reach my rehearsals. So we exchanged addresses and I’ll be taking up the matter with him later.”

So did the guy who caused the accident recognize the newest star on the block?

Nowadays Imran’s schedules are so choc-a-bloc he hardly gets time to meet his girlfriend Avantika. Or read scripts.

‘Marry me!’ Rakhi Sawant tells Salman Khan

Sassy item girl Rakhi Sawant had macho star Salman Khan completely stumped when she unexpectedly popped the question - “Marry me!” - during the grand finale of his reality television show “Dus Ka Dum”.

Rakhi also produced a ring after asking Salman to marry her, according to a press statement.

During the finale of the “Nach Baliye 3” dance reality show last year, when Salman was the chief guest, Rakhi had walked away from the sets in a huff.

Rakhi had lost to Sanjeeda Sheikh and Aamir Ali in the show and stormed off the stage with her beau Abhishek Awasthi in tow. Even though Salman followed her to pacify her, she snubbed him and drove off in her car.

Salman was apparently miffed with her after that. But considering that she was invited to his show, Salman seems to have forgiven the controversy queen.

Rakhi was on the show with comedian Shakeel Siddiqui to play the game. Two other celebrities, actors Rani Mukerji and Lara Dutta also graced the show, which will be telecast Sep 14 at 8 p.m. on Sony Entertainment Television.
