New Delhi, Oct 26 (IANS) True to his earthy image, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar says he likes women in traditional attire.

‘Women look fabulous in traditional attires. I have always liked women dressed in Indian clothes and with a ghunghat,’ Akshay said.

The actor, who is hosting and co-judging Star Plus’ ‘MasterChef India’, is particularly impressed with Zebi, a contestant who hails from Lucknow. A very quiet young woman, Zebi has not compromised on her traditions and culture even while shooting and is always clad in simple salwar-kameez and takes a dupatta on her head.

‘Zebi has the nazakat (grace) that every Indian woman should have in her,’ the actor said.

‘MasterChef India’ is a cookery competition show.

Shweta Tiwari, Dolly Bindra in catfight!

What started off as a minor argument over kitchen work soon became a major catfight between actors Shweta Tiwari and Dolly Bindra in reality show ‘Bigg Boss 4’.

Just a day after loud-mouthed Dolly entered the show, she tried to take charge of cooking in the kitchen – a department that Shweta had been handling so far.

Shweta, who has had a sour past with Dolly, expressed her desire to quit from the kitchen team Monday evening. That was followed by a bitter war of words between the two ladies, says a source.

They started hurling abuses and allegations against each other and dug into their past rivalry because Shweta’s former husband Raja Chaudhary had once slapped Dolly at a party.

The episode featuring the catfight will be aired Tuesday.
