Partying in Bangkok

All roads lead to Bangkok! For the moment, at least. Bollywood's big league comprising Saif Ali Khan, Priyanka Chopra, her friend Akshay Kumar, new-kid-in-the-block Deepika Padukone, Akshaye Khanna and funny man Arshad Warsi are all having a great time in the Thai capital. The actors are definitely not there as a part of a stellar film's cast. All the actors have been shooting for different films and commercials in Bangkok for the last few days.

The actors, who bumped into each other at the airport and restaurants, are now making the most of their trip by frequently meeting up and hanging out together.

Sources indicate that Saif, Akshay Kumar, Akshaye Khanna and Arshad are getting along well. The men are bonding over their fitness regimes. Fitness buffs Saif and Akshay are on a strict diet and are keeping a close watch on what they eat. The latter is particularly tired of looking for green salads in Bangkok, which is a haven for sea-food lovers. However, Akshaye Khanna and Arshad Warsi are not complaining. Arshad, who is particularly fond of prawns, couldn't have been happier. While Akshay believes in 'early to bed and early to rise', Saif, Akshaye and Arshad are enjoying their late night outings.

Coming to the women, Priyanka is filming for an elaborate commercial with Saif for a cosmetic giant. And when she is not shooting she heads straight to the beaches to enjoy the sand and the surf. Priyanka, who is already looking overworked, is yet to complete her magnum opus Love Story 2050 along with boyfriend Harman Baweja and is quite apprehensive about the film's approaching deadline.

A source close to the actress says, "Lately, Priyanka has been shooting for almost 21 hours every day for Love Story 2050. But some sequences of the film are yet to be shot."

Meanwhile, Deepika is busy socialising and ganging up with her seniors. A source from the sets of Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk to China Town informs, "Deepika has befriended Akshay and they get along very well."

Needless to say, the stars certainly aren't complaining as their current Bangkok trip is all about working hard and partying harder.
