Madhuri liked Emraan Hashmi's performance the most in Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji!

Emraan Hashmi is on cloud nine since yesterday. Afterall Madhuri Dixit was heard telling everyone after a special screening of 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji', that she loved Emraan's performance the most.

"Madhur Bhandarkar's romantic comedy which releases this Friday stars Omi Vaidya, Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi in the lead roles. Madhuri Dixit, Mallika Sherawat, Kangana Ranaut and various popular actresses attended the special screening of the film organized by Madhur Bhandarkar on Wednesday night. After the screening, Madhuri was heard whispering that she loved Emraan's performance the most and that he suits the Casanova image the best in Bollywood. Emraan being a huge Madhuri Dixit fan, couldn't hide his excitement when he got to know about her appreciation" revealed our source present at the screening.

Madhuri who has worked with Ajay in Yeh Raaste Hai Pyaar Ke before liked his performance as well but made no bones about admitting Emraan was better.

We are sure Emraan's award has already come his way in the form of Madhuri's liking for him. Also, as far as charming the ladies is concerned, Emraan should probably give some tips to Ajay, just like he has done in the movie! What say Emraan?

Why Kiran refuses to be Mrs Aamir Khan!

Kiran RaoMore Pics

When most of the star wives prefer their husband's surname, Kiran Rao prefers hers just the way it is!

Malaika Arora Khan, Gauri Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan... and then Kiran Rao. Aamir Khan's better half and the maker of Dhobi Ghat is different. Kiran's uniqueness does not limit to her cool n comfy sense of dressing but also in her way of thinking.

The filmmaker speaks her mind and has no qualms in saying it like it is. Just few days back we asked her as to what's keeping her from adding 'Khan' to her name ,as lately most wives prefer it that way.

Kiran candidly replied, " Kiran Rao Khan would sound very stylish I am sure. When you grow up, you hear your name and wish you had a superb name too. Kiran Rao is simple but I have never understood how people can change their names. I am comfortable being who I am and so is Aamir. He shares my point of view and understands me really well."

Now that's why we appreciate this woman.

Nelson Mandela, 92, hospitalized for tests in S. Africa Read more: Nelson Mandela, 92, hospitalized for tests in S. Africa - The Times of India http:

JOHANNESBURG: Former South African President Nelson Mandela was in the hospital Thursday for what his office said were routine tests, as the 92-year-old anti-apartheid icon's overnight stay drew extraordinary media attention.

Mandela undergoes regular hospital checkups, but his latest visit starting Wednesday stretched into an unusually long stay. Journalists were standing outside the hospital Thursday, watching Mandela's relatives and friends enter for visits.

Current South African President Jacob Zuma's office cautioned reporters not to put pressure on Mandela's doctors, and to give him "the respect that he is entitled to."

"President Mandela is comfortable and is well looked after by a good team of medical specialists," said a statement from Zuma's office, adding Zuma was being updated on Mandela while at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.

Mandela's office has released only a brief statement saying the hospital visit was for routine tests and that he was in "no danger and is in good spirits." His spokesman did not return calls seeking more information.

Mandela appeared at the closing ceremony of the World Cup in July, waving to the crowd as he was driven in a small golf cart alongside his wife, Graca Machel.

Mandela was jailed for 27 years for his fight against apartheid. He became South Africa's first black president in 1994 and stepped down after serving one term in 1999.
