Actress Sonakshi Sinha became a victim of a prank by her "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara" co-stars Akshay Kumar and Imran Khan recently.
During the shoot of 9X Media's signature "Tung tucking ting" tune, Akshay and Imran indulged in some leg-pulling.
While Sonakshi was enthusiastically singing the theme song, the boys instantly held her neck and shook her. Sonakshi was quite taken aback. Then Akshay and Imran promised her that they wouldn't trouble her anymore, but they continued to repeat the act whenever the leading lady started singing the number, said a source.

Karan Kundra takes 'different' road
Popular TV actor Karan Kundra, seen in "Kitani Mohabbat Hai", is ready to tip-toe into Bollywood. He says he wants to make his mark by doing "different" films.
The actor has recently signed a three-film deal with Vikram Bhatt, starting with "Horror Story". His other film is producer Shailesh Singh's psychological thriller "Rum Pum Posh".
Talking about his movies, Karan said: "Vikram sir's 'Horror Story' is a young film. In 'Rum Pum Posh', I play an unconventional role of a Pakistani DJ, which most wouldn't do at the start of their career. To leave a mark, my films have to be completely different."

Deepika has an elephant's appetite: SRK
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has spilled the beans about his "Chennai Express" co-star Deepika Padukone's appetite, saying that she eats a lot!
Shah Rukh, Deepika and "Chennai Express" director Rohit Shetty were present on the sets of Colors' "Comedy Nights with Kapil" to promote their movie when comedian Kapil asked the model-turned-actress her fitness secret.
Deepika instantly turned to SRK, and said: "You asked him to ask me this, didn't you?"
Shah Rukh denied, but told everyone about Deepika's diet. King Khan and Rohit referred to her "elephant's appetite" and said that she eats every two hours.
"When we were shooting in the mountains somewhere, all we could eat were biscuits and tea because Deepika ate all our food on the journey," quipped Shah Rukh.
"She doesn't restrain herself from eating, she ate everybody's food on the set, including the spot boys'," he added.
