Five months of togetherness and then break up. Actress Sushmita Sen and former Pakistani ace cricketer Wasim Akram’s relationship was very short-lived.

They met, fell in love and then separated. Wasim Akram and Sushmita Sen came closer while judging a dance reality show.

But both mutually decided to call off their relationship. Sush’s growing closeness with Indian Premier League (IPL) chief Lalit Modi is said to be the reason of their separation.

After Wasim’s wife Huma passed away in Oct 2009, Akram found solace in Sush’s company. Sush made him to live life again.

Another reason of their break up is said to be the long distance relationship. Wasim spend most of his time in Pakistan and Sushmita is not ready to move with him to Pak.

She wants to stay in India. They discussed and then decided to settle down in Dubai but as time passed Sush did not agree to move to Dubai also.

Many times, they had argument on settlement issue. Finally, they decided to call it off.

The 18-year-old Ipsita Pati who was among the top 30 contestants of ‘I Am She’ Miss Universe India Pageant has raised serious allegations against Sushmita Sen and the contest organizers Tantra Entertainment Private Ltd.

As a daily reports, the girl on Wednesday filed a FIR at the Women’s Police Station in Bhubaneswar and accused the organizers of the event for causing her “mental and physical torture”. According to her allegations, she was prescribed a very “horrible” diet by the dietician and was kept “starving”. And at the last moment her name was intentionally removed from the final list because she was “under-weight”, claims Ipsita.

She even talked to the press and told them that she suffered weakness during the contest and was even hospitalized but wasn’t allowed to talk to her parents as her grooming session was in progression. She has even met Orissa’s Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik along with her mother and has asked for his help in this matter.

Ipsita is an aspiring model who is not new to beauty contests; she has already won Miss South India title in the year 2008.

Wakey wakey my walnut cupcakes! I know you want to laze around under your satin sheets, blame it on the Monday morning blues. But I've some really garam and chatpati news for you. So rise forth and read on for your dose of daily goss.

For starters, I've just been informed that it looks like Sushmita Sen's dream will finally come true. Thanks to Lalit Modi, suspended chairman and commissioner of the Indian Premiere League (IPL), who is said to be venturing into movie production now. Nah, before you ask, let me remind you that that Lalitji has dabbled in showbiz before, with Modi Entertainment some years ago.

And he's had a good experience dealing with B-town folks after the IPL took off three years ago. So it won't be difficult for him to start his film production business.

Coming back to the point, my khabru tells me that Lalitji and Sush got pally after she attended a match during IPL 3. And during the course of their conversation, the actress-cum-aspiring producer revealed how her dream project was stuck in a limbo. Apparently, it was only recently that Lalitji and Sush met to discuss reviving her Rani Laxmibai, biopic on the Queen of Jhansi.

While it's too early for them to confirm things, my jasoos tells me that Sush has given Lalitji her budget break-up and the two are said to be working on the logistics of such a large-scale production.

Hmm, like Sush, my informer and I are keeping our fingers crossed too. Keep watching this space for regular updates, my sweetums.
