Tamil actress Lakshmi Rai, who has been romantically linked with M.S. Dhoni, rubbishes reports that she flew down to Mumbai from here to console the Indian cricket skipper after the Indian team was ousted from the T20 World Cup.A Tamil daily had published the report."Though I was deeply upset by India's exit from the T20 World Cup, I didn't break down into tears as reported. Neither did I fly to Mumbai to meet Dhoni to talk to him and console him... it's nothing but media's figment of imagination. I just sent a consoling message to Dhoni and that's all, " said the actress."Actually, I'm too busy to have time for such things.

D. Studio in Karjat with make-up artist, Ojas. She is busy putting on a face, which to me seems so unnecessary!Earlier, fresh countenanced, tired-eyed but oh so beautiful, she had made flash decisions on gowns (no saris); colours (out with that dull mauve) and silhouettes. The world's most beautiful woman (so says Julia Roberts!) standing there in black tights and silver-and-white tee, could have slipped into anything and looked like a million bucks.She is small, slim and graveeyed and I remember reading that these, her most outstanding feature, have been donated already to science.She was not in the best of moods, stru
