Actress Genelia D'Souza and her actor husband Riteish Deshmukh's love story is as Bollywood as it can get - the "Masti" star made sure he sent a telegram to his wife on the day that the 160-year-old service came to an end.

"Received my 1st telegram on the last day of its service from my Navra. Thank u Riteish #happy me," Genelia posted on her Twitter page. She even posted a part image of the special telegram sent by her 'Navra', which means husband in Marathi.

The telegram service faded into history July 15.

Riteish and Genelia were rumoured to have been a relationship since they featured together in their debut film "Tujhe Meri Kasam" in 2003. Neither of them confirmed their romantic liasion, but they finally sealed their relationship by tying the knot in 2012.

Apart from "Tujhe Meri Kasam", the duo has worked together on the big screen in "Masti" and "Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya".

Qawwali time for Imran, Sonakshi

Actors Sonakshi Sinha and Imran Khan, who have grooved to "Tayyab ali" in the "Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara!", were in for some qawwali time on the sets of a popular singing reality show.

In an upcoming gala episode of "Indian Idol Junior", to be aired Aug 19, Imran and Sonakshi grace the show to promote their forthcoming film.

Sonakshi has last visited the sets of the show for her latest release "Lootera", but it was a first-time visit for Imran, who was blown away by the talent of the young participants.

The theme of the episode was Qawwali, and the kids stuck to it dressed in signature Qawwali.

"Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara!", which also features Akshay Kumar, releases Aug 5.

Ajay, Kareena all for romantic number in 'Satyagraha'

They have sizzled as an on screen pair in films like "Omkara" and "Golmaal Returns". The two are set to recreate the same magic in "Satyagraha".

"Satyagraha", directed by filmmaker Prakash Jha, has a romantic number titled "Raske bhare tere nain", which is loved by both Ajay and Kareena. The number will break across TV and radio networks Sunday.

"I love the music of the film. The romantic song is one of my favourite songs from the album. The music is fabulous. I am very sure that when people will hear the music of the film, they will love it," Ajay said in a statement.

Kareena said: "My personal choice is the romantic track because it's just penned so beautifully. The instruments have come out so well and it's a beautiful emotional song in the film."

Co-produced by UTV Motion Pictures and Prakash Jha Productions, "Satyagraha", a political drama, is set to release Aug 30.
