near the set of Jodha Akbar and rushed to meet him!
While Salman Khan has been at the receiving end of a lot of fanfare over the years, an incident couple of days ago had him completely speechless and grinning. The dabangg Khan was shooting for his upcoming movie in Karjat very close to the sets of Zee TV’s historical drama - Jodha Akbar. Seeing the actor, getting out of his vanity van, Lavina Tandon ( who plays Rukayya Begum of Jodha Akbar) immediately sprinted to meet the star.
Being the chivalrous man he is, Salman spent a good amount of time chatting up with the beautiful lady, talking about his upcoming film and her show ‘Jodha Akbar’. While Lavina was on cloud nine on meeting Salman Khan, Salman was stunned to see Lavina suddenly race from her set next door to meet him. If sources are to be believed, the two did not just chat up, but also ended up clicking selfies. Fulfilling her dream of meeting the superstar, Lavina’s happiness knew no bounds after having a word with him. We asked Lavina for her pictures with Salman but she said, “No! This is my personal, private, prized possession … I don’t want this for publicity!”
The visual of a much adorned Mughal era royalty clicking a selfie with a contemporary superstar was striking and had the unit members of Salman’s film chuckling! Do we get to see Lavina in any of Salman’s forthcoming films? All the best, Rukayya!

SALVADOR: German ,Portugal match did yielded requisite rhythm for the world class players,spped of euro laden players was quite blended withbountiful of energy,skill and kill for goal although lady luck evadedCristiano Ronaldo but his confidence,to his shots, passes, dribbles through counterparts were subdued by collective best display of German with Thomas stole the show from the beginning.German, France Portugal,Italy, English to play Latin American teams will bring the technique and stamina combination to its best. Thomas Mueller scored a hat-trick as Germany beat Portugal 4-0.Cristiano Ronaldo´act of dominating the World Cup was in tatters on Monday.
Bayern Munich star Mueller bagged the first treble of his international career as Germany shrugged off a troubled build-up to the tournament to make a flying start in Group G. But it was a disastrous afternoon at Salvador´s Fonte Nova Arena for Ronaldo and Portugal, who had defender Pepe sent off for a first half headbutt on Mueller.Germans were already leading 2-0, thanks to a penalty from Tomas Muller in the 12th minute and a Mats Hummels header in the 32nd minute, when Portuguese defender Pepe was sent off for head-butting Muller in an off the ball incident.Muller scored his second in added time of the first half and went on to register the first hattrick of this year’s finals in the 78th minute.The Germans would have saved some energy after hardly exerting themselves in the second half.
Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo will have a lot of thinking to do before their next match. They will have to sort out their defence as their frailties at the back was there for all to see.
Portugal had the first shot of the goal but Hugo Almeida’s tame effort was easily saved.
Ronaldo, who scored all the goals in the win over Sweden including a hattrick in the second leg, then tested Manuel Neur from a tight angle.
Germany slowly started exerting their dominance over the proceedings and strung together some precise passes.
Sami Khedira had a golden chance to give Germany the lead in the eighth minute but his first time shot after a poor clearance from the Portugal keeper went centimetres wide with an open goal waiting.
Just minutes later, the Portugal right back brought down Mario Goetze inside the box to give Germany a spot kick, which Muller slotted in with great precision.
Germany soon started dictating the tempo of the game and looked very comfortable and patient in possession with Portugal struggling to get hold of the ball.
Hummels doubled Germany’s lead with a bullet header from a Toni Kroos corner.
Then came a moment of madness from Pepe.
The Portugal centre-back appeared to push a hand into the face of Muller. The German went down theatrically much to the annoyance of the Portugal defender, who pushed his head into Muller.
The referee had no option but to brandish a straight red card.
With ‘Ole’ chants ringing around the stadium Muller put the game beyond Portugal after Bruno Alves failed to clear his line.
The second was a much slower affair with Portugal failing to breach the opposition defence.
Germany, meanwhile, coasted along with coach Joachim Loew ringing in the changes.
Muller scored his eighth goal in World Cup finals poking in from close range after Portugal keeper palmed Andre Schurrle’s cross straight into the German forward’s path.
Ronaldo tried his best to get onto the score sheet and almost did in the final minutes of the game but his stinging free kick found Neur in the way.
Mueller opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 12 minutes before defender Mats Hummels doubled Germany´s advantage on the half-hour mark.The 24-year-old center forward struck again at the end of the first half before tapping home a close range effort on 78 minutes.
Portugal was in tight spot by the sight of Real Madrid defender Fabio Coentrao being stretchered off in the second half. Ronaldo hoped to sparkle at the World Cup after helping Real Madrid to the Champions League this season.The 29-year-old winger, who was battling injuries before the tournament, had declared himself 100 percent fit on the eve of the match. The former Manchester United star looked way below his best, and a poorly scuffed free-kick summed up his afternoon of disappointment.
Nigeria, Iran on draw
CURITIBA: -Nigeria and Iran became the first sides to draw at the 2014 World Cup as they played out a turgid 0-0 draw in Curitiba on Monday. Duo side showed much creativity and the final whistle was met by a cacophony of boos from the mainly Brazilian crowd.After a bright start from Nigeria, Iran who forced the only meaningful save of the afternoon from Vincent Enyeama as the Lille goalkeeper parried Reza Ghoochannejad´s headed effort. A point apiece leaves both sides tied for second place in Group F with Argentina leading the way thanks to their 2-1 win over Bosnia and Hercegovina on Sunday. Nigeria started by far the better of the two sides and had an effort on goal inside three minutes as Victor Moses´ low shot was comfortably held by Alireza Haghighi.
The African champions had the ball in the net moments later, but Ahmed Musa was adjudged to have fouled Haghighi as they challenged for a high ball before Ogenyi Onazi slotted inches wide with Nigeria´s best opening of the half. Nigeria then dropped as they were forced into a change midway through the half when former Everton defender Joseph Yobo replaced the injured Godfrey Oboabona. Iran´s only effort on goal in the opening 45 minutes produced the best stop of the game as Enyeama had to leap to his right to parry Charlton Athletic striker Reza´s header to safety from a fine Ashkan Dejagah corner.
With no sign of a breakthrough coming early in the second-half, Nigeria boss Stephan Keshi introduced Newcastle United´s Shola Ameobi for the ineffectual Moses. Iran then went onto have their best spell in the game with Adranik Timotian firing wildly over when well-placed inside the area.Nigeria ended the game with four strikers on the field in the search for a winner as Stoke City´s Peter Odemwingie was also introduced.Ameobi came close to breaking the deadlock, but his flicked header sailed wide and he was adjudged to have fouled his marker in the process.
Nigeria´s abundance of forward players was leaving them more susceptible to the Iranian counter-attack, however, and Dejagah should have done better when he was picked out at the far post but failed to make a proper connection with his header.
The draw leaves Iran still in search of their first ever World Cup victory, whilst Nigeria´s winless streak in the competition extends to nine games stretching back to 1998.
Nigeria and Iran delivered the first draw of the World Cup on Monday as they ground out a scrappy 0-0 stalemate in their opening match in Group F.
The draw at the Arena da Baixada followed 12 mostly high-scoring and attacking games.After a first half in which Nigeria failed to capitalize on its dominance, the chances were few and far between in the second.

” It is heartening to see flurry of activity in the Ministries and corridors of power after a period of prolonged lull. Plans are being prepared, presentations are being made and time bound agenda are being adopted. However, what is being discussed largely comprises of system’s thinking There is a need to engage people from outside the system and the beneficiaries and to ask them what they want as opposed to what was being done for years.

The RBI kept financial markets happy by keeping key policy rates unchanged in its monetary policy on Tuesday. Deposit and lending rates, hence, will not see any significant change for now.

The objective — as stated in the Urjit Patel Committee report — is to facilitate the transmission of policy rates across segments. For borrowers this means quicker pass through of policy action on banks’ lending rates over the long term.
