If anyone denies that the following excerpt is newsworthy, I will sit on him or her. Here goes:
Shamita ki sexiness ka raaz kya hain?
If a bee from Cash’s unit is to be believed, it is papayas or papitas as we call them.
One fine day, Shamita wanted papitas. Not one. Not five. Not ten, but 21 of them!
Since the shooting was in Cape Town and not in Film City, spot boys, assistant directors and production assistants went scurrying around the South African city.
After much heartburn, the crew finally found 21 papayas and gave it to madam. My bee has no idea what Shamita did with them. Meanwhile, mama Shetty, who was also at the shoot, asked for sambar powder one day. The action on the sets was ditto.
“The action on the sets was ditto,” it seems! Somebody please explain why I want to wrap barbed wire around myself.
