Kim Kardashian: Intuition led to divorce decision

A grim-looking Kim Kardashian said "intuition" led her to end her 72-day-old marriage, insisting in an Australian television interview there was no "right or wrong" way to handle the situation.

The hosts of Australia's "Sunrise" program grilled the 31-year-old reality TV star on how hard she worked to save her brief marriage to pro basketball player Kris Humphries, asking whether she had sought counseling before filing for divorce.

She is badminton legend Prakash Padukone's daughter and has played the sport at the state level. But Deepika Padukone chose to become an actor instead. Yet, the Om Shanti Om (2007) girl is in huge demand from various institutions to promote sports in India.

It's an open secret that Deepika is the face of the Force India F1 Team. Now, the Sports Development Corporation (SDC) has approached the actor to star in a motivational campaign that is being worked on for the Olympics next year. She has also been offered to become the face of badminton in India.

Apparently, representatives of the board promoting the Olympics believe that Deepika would be perfect for the job because they are looking for a celebrity, that people can look up to. The fact that she has achieved so much at such a young age also doubles up as a motivational factor, as does her positive attitude towards sports and fitness.

Deepika too is believed to be keen to take time out for the motivational campaign that is aimed towards helping India achieve more glory at the 2012 Olympics.

Despite Rs 170cr income, 'RA.One not a hit?'

Eros Entertainment, distributors of Shah Rukh Khan’s RA.One, claims that the superhero film has grossed over Rs 170 cr at the box-office. This number also includes the international collections until Sunday. But according to film trade followers, the Anubhav Sinha directorial, which was made on a reported budget of Rs 150 cr, is certainly not a hit yet.

Trade sources estimate that the collections haven’t exceeded Rs 80 crore in the first five days. “It’s made approximately Rs 80 crore, which is reasonably good. But not that good, if you compare it with Bodyguard,” says Amod Mehra, a prominent tradesmith.
