Actress Kanaka undergoing treatment in Alappuzha!

"I`m not dead yet," said Kanaka Mahalakshmi, a well-known southern actress, to squash rumours of her death. On Tuesday, it was reported that Kanaka, who was undergoing treatment at the Palliative Care Hospital in Alappuzha, Kerala for cancer, died after the treatment failed to cure the disease.

Late in the evening, Kanaka called a press conference at her residence here to clarify rumours about her death. "I`m not dead yet as I have been quoted by some media channels. I`m perfectly healthy. I don`t have cancer and neither have I had the scare! The last time I was in Kerala, it was in 1992 when I was shooting for a Malayalam film. I`m very much alive! These are nothing but speculations," Kanaka said.

She also said this was neither a publicity stunt.

"I don`t think anyone would fake their death, not even film stars. I have stayed away from cinema for personal reasons, but I`m likely to return soon. I have been getting offers, but I`m waiting for the perfect role," she said. Kanaka, who rose to fame with 1989 Tamil blockbuster debut "Karakattakaran", is the daughter of yesteryear actress Devika. Since her mother passed away in 2002, Kanaka has been away from filmdom.

In the Malayalam film industry, she worked with superstars like Mammootty and Mohanlal. In fact, Shaji Kailas` 2000 hit film "Narasimham" saw her sharing the screen space with the both of them. Her other Malayalam films include "Vietnam Colony", "Golanthara Vartha" and "Pingami". She is known for several hit films such as "Godfather", "Periya Kudumbam" and "Jallikattu Kalai".

Hansika Motwani and Simbu Wedding Plans!

Recently, Hansika Motwani and Simbu stunned the fans and movie buffs by openly admitting on Twitter that they were in a relationship. As its already very clear that they are deeply in love, the next common question they will be asked would be ‘Date of Marriage?’.

hansika-simbu

To everyone’s surprise, Both Hansika and Simbhu made contrasting statements in their recent interviews when enquired about the wedding plans.

Hansika stated that Work is her prime focus at the moment and marriage can wait. She confidently said wedding willn’t happen at least for a few years from now.

On the other hand, Simbhu claimed he would be marrying Hansika with the consent of his parents in 2014 and wished to lead the marital life in a peaceful and dignified manner like Ajith who is his favorite hero.

The difference in the statements might be either due to the lack of proper co-ordination or different mind sets. They should have at least discussed few important things like marriage by now to maintain a clarity. Hope, the Love Birds learn from their mistakes.

Simbu aka STR and Hansika have been working on their upcoming romantic projects Vaalu and Vettai Mannan,for quite sometime now. But their working together has not only sparked off onscreen romance but something in real life has triggered for them as well. STR has neither denied his love for Hansika, nor admitting it.  However Hansika has repeatedly told the media that there was nothing brewing between her and Simbu and described the latter as not anything more than good friend. Still, the rumours linking the duo refuse to die down.

Simbu’s parents T Rajendar and Usha have been hunting for a suitable bride for their family for a long time now. A couple of months back, it was rumoured that a girl in Vellore had been ‘finalized’ as Simbu’s future wife but before getting it confirmed from Simbu, the mercurial actor had gone off to the Himalayas following the footsteps of superstar Rajinikanth.

Of late, Simbu is seen talking more like a saint! In the meanwhile, T Rajendar, has said that he has an open mind about Simbu’s marriage and is ready to accept any girl chosen by Simbu as the daughter-in-law of the family. “Even if Simbu is to marry Hansika, my wife Usha and I would have no problems in accepting her as our daughter-in-law,” said the film-maker.

Hansika, who is busy with her shooting commitments, is yet to react to TR’s statement.
