After much ado about former Yash Chopra heroine Kajol's no-show at the premiere of Jab Tak Hai Jaan,  the real reason behind her conspicuous absence  roots in the times when hubby Ajay Devgn's Bol Bachchan was in the making.  Kajol was extremely upset that Yash Raj Films had demanded Rs 5 lakh from Ajay as a charge to reuse a certain section of their famous Kajra Re song, especially since she had done numerous appearances and cameos in their films free of charge. A source adds, `Initially Ajay agreed to pay the amount. However, YRF then hiked the sum to Rs 25 lakh for the 90-second sequence. Ajay was upset and so was Kajol. Ajay later consoled her saying it was all part of the business.`

When called to inaugurate the 41st International Film Festival Of India in Goa   Akshay Kumar had only two demands, a two- minute silence for his late father-in-law at the inaugural event, and a BMW 7-Series to ply him around in Panaji during his stay. One knows Akshay wishes the world to share in his reverence for his legendary Sasurji, hence the 2-minute silence. But one isn't sure why he would desire an expensive car. Perhaps to feel and look important? `But he has a fleet of cars back home. Surely a BMW is not a status symbol for star of Akshay's stature?` asked one of the puzzled invitees at the Festival.
