Fawad Khan doesn’t want to get intimate with Sonam Kapoor?

Mumbai: Pakistani heartthrob – Fawad Khan – who made his Bollywood debut opposite Sonam Kapoor in ‘Khoobsurat’ has bagged a couple of plum deals.

The actor has Karan Johar’s  ‘Kapoor and Sons’ and an adaptation of Anuja Chauhan’s ‘Battle of Bittora’ in his kitty. Khan will be paired opposite Sonam yet again in the adaptation, reports suggest.

However, according to the latest buzz, the actor, who shared a great chemistry with the actress in ‘Khoobsurat’, is apparently not quite keen to enact intimate scenes onscreen.

Fawad is married to Sadaf Aftab, his childhood sweetheart for over a decade now. However, his onscreen chemistry with each of his co-stars has been a huge hit - so much so that he has become a dream man of many young girls on the Indian side of the border too!

The handsome actor was already a huge hit (much before ‘Khoobsurat’ could release) among the Indian TV viewers as Zaroon Junaid in Zindagi channel’s ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai’. He also featured in another show titled ‘Humsafar’, which went on to make him an icon of romance on Indian TV.

Lesser known facts about Sonam Kapoor's next 'Neerja Bhanot'

New Delhi: The biopic on late flight attendant Neerja Bhanot has gone on floors with Sonam Kapoor stepping in the shoes of the Pan Am flight attendant, who was killed by terrorists while she was trying to save passengers on board the hijacked flight.

While everyone is busy praising Sonam Kapoor for her look that she sported for the film, very few would know about Neerja who was murdered on September 5, 1986.

Neerja, the flight attendant on the Pan Am 73, has been an  epitome of self-sacrifice.On that ill-fated night, when the Pan Am 73 landed at Karachi from Mumbai, the flight was hijacked by four heavily armed terrorists.

She was quick to alert the pilots about the hijackers. While the pilots fled the cockpit, Neerja stayed back in the flight and ensured the safety of other passengers.

Neerja battled with the terrorists for more than 17 hours and saved over 360 hostages out of 380 members on board. When the terrorists started firing, she was swift to open the emergency doors so that the passengers could escape.

On that ill-fated night, India's brave-heart along with other attendants hid the passports of American passengers from the terrorists to hide protect the identity of American citizens from the hijackers, who were believed to from the Abu Nidal Organisation.

While Neerja could have easily escaped, she decided not to and took the bullets on her when the terrorists started firing. She saved three children from being fired at.

The youngest recipient of the Ashok Chakra Award (at an age of just 23) the Government of India posthumously awarded her the highest honour. Sadly, Neerja died just 25 hours before her 24th birthday.

A square called Neerja Bhanot Chowk had been named after her in Mumbai's Ghatkopar, which was inaugurated by Amitabh Bachchan in the 1990s.

Neerja, rightly showed what call of duty truly is.

Actor Salman Khan will undergo tests for swine flu after his co-star Sonam Kapoor tested positive for the H1N1 virus on Friday, the Indian Express reported on Sunday.

The two are set to star in Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo. However, shooting had to come to a halt as Kapoor had tested positive for the H1N1 virus. She was then flown to a Mumbai hospital where she will be undergoing treatment.

Kapoor was admitted to a hospital in Rajkot after she complained of sore throat and high fever.

“Sonam Kapoor tested positive for swine flu today [Friday] and she is being treated at Sterling hospital in the city,” Rajkot district collector Manisha Chandra said.

There were also reports of the actor not having swine flu, rather suffering from a cold and flu, according to a source close to her.
