Before Pawan Kalyan coming to the venue, every time, the fans see someone stepping inside the auditorium they assume it as Pawan and go berserk chanting his name all the time.

0

Film industry means a lot of compromising in the disguise of force and money. Recently this happened to one of our hot heroines who failed to click as lead girl.
Asha Saini, raised to fame as ‘Lux Papa’ after shaking her booty with Balayya in ‘Narasimha Naidu’. Later on, she is not able to cash on the success of that film and went on to do some cheap flicks and sleazy items. Her hot photo shoots in lingerie have become a rage on internet, but failed to do wonders in bagging offers. She is now coming up as an item-girl in an upcoming film ‘Cinemakeldam Randi’. It is heard that Asha was initially hesitant to do lot of Shaking as forced by dance master Amma Rajasekhar. But finally she has submitted herself to do more than enough for satisfying dance master and thereby audiences on silver screen.
If she gets some dreamy offers for her ‘shaking’ efforts, then everything will be fine. Else, she will be cursing our dance master for extracting the dirty side of her.
