The Beta of Bollywood Anil Kapoor keeps a close watch on his daughter Sonam. We sure think it's a tough job Anil to look after someone as charming as Sonam!

The announcement by the state's top official creates the possibility that the homeless pair will own two flats.On Thursday, director Danny Boyle said a trust he had set up had bought a new home for one of the child stars, Azharuddin Ismail.He said that another should soon be found for girl star Rubina Ali.
'Too small'
Rubina, 9, and Azharuddin, 10, both lost their homes this month when the Mumbai (Bombay) authorities demolished parts of their slum.
The Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Ashok Chavan, said he had approved the transfer of two government apartments to the children on Friday to "enable them to live a life of dignity".
But correspondents say their former neighbours in the slums will not be so lucky.
"Slumdog Millionaire has won Oscar recognition," Mr Chavan told the Associated Press.
"We thought this would be a proper thing to honour these children acting in the film. It would be a good gesture on the part of the government."
However the mother of Azharuddin, Shamin Ismail, told the BBC that the apartment being offered by the government was in an unsuitable location away from the rest of her family - in the far western suburb of Malad.
"Our family may grow and it would be better if we had a bigger house," she said. "My son worked very hard during the making of the film so it's only fair if he gets bigger accommodation."
'Glamorous world'
Mr Boyle, who has been criticised for not helping the child actors enough, on Thursday blamed the press for raising their expectations"Inevitably, the tension and pressure is media generated," he said.
He said he hoped a new home would also be found for Rubina Ali, who played Latika, before the monsoon rains in June.
"They were given access to a world, an extraordinary and glamorous world, and they understandably want their lives to be completely transformed," he said.
Earlier this month, the authorities tore the children's slum homes down.
Since then Rubina has been staying with relatives and Azharuddin has been living in a makeshift shanty with his parents.
Thanks to the recession and the stand-off between producers and multiplex, theatres the biggest of films under-production are lying unsold.Director Rahul Dholakia's Kashmir saga Lamhaa is one such multi-crore film that is waiting for buyers. In spite of heavyweights like Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu and Kunal Kapoor in the cast Lamhaa has found no takers yet.
Producer Bunty Walia has found a unique way of selling his film. He has put together a 6-minute trailer of Lamhaa which he will now send to 30 distributors across the country.
Walia hopes the trailer would convince distributors to invest in Lamhaa. Says the harassed producer. "I know this is a very unorthodox way of selling a film. But do we have a choice? Gone are the days when we producers wouldn't show a frame of our films to distributors until it was complete. "
In fact Bunty flew to Goa where Dutt is shooting, with his 6-minute trailer-showreel and got the actor's approval. Says Bunty, "Sanju loved it. Nothing is being done without his approval. Sanju is the backbone of Lamhaa. He grew a beard especially for the film. Then kept it right until the end. He shaved off the beard on the day he left for Lucknow to campaign for the Samajwadi Party."
Now, apparently, Dutt is taking a keen interest in the completion, sale and marketing of his films. Several of his films including Zee's Chatur Singh Two Star and Lamhaa are yet to find buyers.
But Walia says it's only a matter of time. "The break that he took send out wrong signals in the market. Now that he's back full-swing, the market knows Sanju is here for good. See, content is king. And if you've a film with a high content then you've nothing to worry about.
