Reality TV star Kris Jenner is hoping that her daughter Kim Karadashian and Kanye West exchange vows next year.

Sunny Deol, whose 'Singh Saab the Great' hits theatres this week, feels that actors today need to be good at marketing their films.
	"Earlier, there were days when one used to think that talent speaks for itself. We never used to make appearances, give interviews and talk about our films. We hardly used to promote our films on TV and the print media was the only option. Now, media has grown so much and it is everywhere, on your mobile phones, social networking sites..We have to adapt and go with the flow," the actor said.
	Pointing out that his 'Right ya Wrong', despite being a good film, failed at the box office because it was not promoted well, Sunny, 57, said he is now adapting to film promotions.
