Aamir buys sari for Anushka

Superstar Aamir Khan, who recently visited Banaras to promote his forthcoming film PK, purchased a sari from there for his co-star Anushka Sharma.

The actor wanted to take a special souvenir for Anushka from Banaras. After going through a huge collection of saris, he shortlisted one. In fact, he spent about an hour selecting his favourite sari. “Varanasi is Aamir Khan’s mother’s home town. He always starts his promotional tour from either Patna or Varanasi. He is well versed with the weavers and makers there. He made a special attempt to buy a sari for Anushka,” said Aamir's spokesperson. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the movie will hit the screens Dec 19.

Judi Dench finds new love

Actress Judi Dench, 79, says that she wasn't “prepared” to find new love after losing her husband Michael Williams to lung cancer in 2001. The Skyfall actress is currently dating American journalist, writer and producer David Mills and says that “never even for a second... not for a single second” did she think she would have another relationship after Williams. “I wasn't even ready for it...it was very gradual and grown up. It's just wonderful,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Dench as saying. The 79-year-old actress also said that they don't live together partly because of their busy schedules.
