Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has opened up about her intimate scenes with Ranbir Kapoor in their upcoming film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

Aishwarya, whose sizzling on-screen chemistry with Ranbir became the talk of the town ever since the release of the film's trailer, said that it is not frivolous sensuality but portrayed in a classy manner.

The Jazbaa actor revealed that she was not worried about the sensuous scenes, "It is about comfort level with my director. We know how the journey of the film would be. It wasn't (worrying). I know my character well. It is about how you approach a character. It is done in a classy way. It is not frivolous sensuality on screen."

Director Karan Johar also spoke about her sensuous scenes, "I knew the dignity that Aishwarya brings to every character. So, you don't look at it and question about supposed lack of decency as it's always elegant. There is no kissing scene or skin show. It is about the attitude. There was a news piece that the Censor Board has given some cuts on the Aishwarya track. There is no lip lock. It's just in the eyes and attitude."

The Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna director was all praise for Aishwarya's character, which he said was the strongest in the film. "She is a poetess in the film. She is a woman of substance in every which way. She knows her mind and heart. We were honest to the film and the story. What you see on screen is glimpse of that character," he said.

 Amid reports of widespread debit card security breaches, a senior State Bank of India official on Saturday said the passwords were compromised in majority of cases.

"I strongly believe password is being compromised and most cases are of false transactions," Chief General Manager of State Bank of India, Bengal circle, Partha Pratim Sengupta told IANS.

SBI, the country's largest commercial lender, has advised its customers to use the bank's own Automated Teller Machine (ATM) network after the security breach of around six lakh debit cards issued by the bank.

"Prima facie information says a lot of password compromise is happening. But we are obviously looking into the audit trail and will check transaction history of all customers who have suffered to see if there is any kind of malware problem," he said.

The bank had blocked the debit cards whose security was reportedly breached due to the malware attack.

Some of the country's top private banks like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and YES Bank among others too are facing similar issues and several of the customers' debit cards are reportedly being compromised.

SBI on Wednesday  blocked close to six lakh debit cards following a malware-related security breach in a non-SBI ATM network.

Several other banks such as Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank too have admitted being hit by similar cyber attacks -- forcing Indian banks to either replace or request users to change the security codes of as many as 3.2 million debit cards over the last two months. READ MORE

Using the analogy of surgical strikes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today wondered what would have happened if the government had adopted similar strategy in the recent campaign against black money, which unearthed Rs 65,000 crores.

"Over Rs 65,000 crore in unaccounted money was declared under the IDS, and that too without any surgical strike. Imagine what all will emerge if we initiate surgical strikes," Modi said at a public function in Vadodara, where he arrived for a day-long visit earlier in the day.

He said that other than the money collected under the IDS, his government saved Rs 36,000 crore more by eliminating middlemen and directly transferring funds to beneficiaries by linking their Aadhar cards to the Jan Dhan Yojana.

"So, we have been able to collect roughly Rs 1,00,000 crore," Modi added.

The Prime Minister was speaking at a function to distribute artificial limbs, tri-cycles and other assisting devices to over 10,000 'divyangs' or differently-abled persons.

He said that since May 2014, more than 4,500 such events have been held across the country, compared with just 56 between 1992 and 2014.

It is Modi's fourth visit to Gujarat in the last three months, but the first one to Vadodara since becoming Prime Minister. He won the Lok Sabha elections both from Vadodara and Varanasi seats but retained the latter. Gujarat goes to the assembly polls in December 2017.

During the daylong visit, Modi also inaugurated an integrated terminal building of Vadodara's Harni Airport built at a cost of Rs 160 crore.
