They call it Meghna Naidu's 'Jackpot' but we say it's Himanshu Malik who strikes gold with his every new film. Barely have his 17 'livid' smooches with Mallika Sherawat, died down in our memory; we see him in the arms of another sex-bomb Meghna Naidu.
Produced by Ritesh Nayyar and directed by Samit Baddkar, 'Jackpot' casts Malik and Naidu in the lead roles of an estranged couple, which literally hit a jackpot.
Ritesh, who's already burnt his fingers in a big star cast venture, 'Yeh Lamhe hai Judai Ke' featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Raveena decided to opt the safer path this time.
His formula of success is foolproof and already and tested by Bhatts. Toeing the similar lines Nayyar says, "We will do whatever is necessary to do justice to the script, even if it means steamy scenes."
But the producer's enthusiasm hardly scares Meghna. Getting hot in the bed is no issue with her and she is all set to give Mallika run for her money in 'Jackpot', 'Husn' and 'Classic - Dance of Love'.
‘‘I have quite a line-up. Right now I'm soooo busy I don't even get to see my boyfriend," she says.
Meghna is currently seeing Raj Shete, who owns a restaurant, 'Anything on the Platter', in Chembur. A complete foody by her own admission, this Vijayvada-born Mumbaiite, has been put on a strict diet by her producer who don't want the audience to miss out on her curves.
While Himanshu may be having some good time for now; it's Shete who'll be having the last laugh because this 24 year-old Hawas starlet wants to get married and settle down as a school teacher.
