Bollywood's bad run continues in cricket too

2009-04-20T21:28:00.000-07:00

The first quarter of the year 2009 will go down as one of the worst in Bollywood history, what with majority of films biting the dust and the unending tussle between the producers-distributors and the multiplexes, which has added to the woe. Multiplex owners who had hoped that the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) matches would bring in some revenues were disappointed as they were not given the rights to telecast the matches.

For Bollywood too, the first two days of the Indian Premier League has turned out to be very disheartening with bad luck continuing to haunt them here as well.

All those who are still confused, Bollywood is represented by famous and glamorous personalities like Shilpa Shetty, Preity Zinta and Shah Rukh Khan, all of whom are the owners of three different teams. To cut a long story short, new entrant Shilpa Shetty's Rajasthan Royals (last year's winner), Preity Zinta's Kings XI Punjab and Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders have all lost to their opponents in their opening matches.

However, these are early days and here is wishing for a resounding comeback for Bollywood, both on the cricket pitch as well as the box-office!

2009-04-19T07:37:00.000-07:00

Lakshmi Rai , an eye-pleasing blend of beauty and oomph, is now getting her foot in the door to Bollywood.

Often referred to as Dhoni’s girl because of her alleged romantic affair with the swashbuckling cricketer, 27-year-old Lakshmi is shifting base from Chennai to Mumbai. She has worked down south in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada cinema, but has now set her eyes on Bollywood.

According to Lakshmi, she often used to scuttle between Chennai and Mumbai for professional work but since offers from Mumbai have increased manifold in the last few months, she’s decided to shift. And Lakshmi doesn’t think her increased demand in Bollywood is due to the link-up with Dhoni but due to a magazine cover that brought her to the notice of people in Mumbai.

Even as Lakshmi has got for herself a house in Malad, she’s been getting offers from big production houses like Yashraj Films and TIPS. However, sources say Lakshmi hasn’t signed on anything yet because of the exclusive contracts that might prevent her from working elsewhere.

Lakshmi says she’s taking her time and will sign a film with a big banner soon.

If you think we are out of our mind, it’s not us you should be blaming! With Lok Sabha elections just round the corner, the actress was taken aback when she received her Voter ID card, where ‘Male’ was printed in the gender tab! A shocked Chitrangda told us, “I used to stay in Meerut before, later I shifted to Gurgaon, and had to update my address details. To my surprise when I received my new voter ID card, it had my picture with ‘male’ written below it. How can they put up a woman’s picture and type male for gender? It’s unbelievable! And when I asked them to change it, they said that the procedure would be a long one, so I might as well live with it for the time being,” she laughed. “However, I’m told that as long as my picture is right I can vote, so I am going to do that.” Phew! It’s surely a man’s world out there, Chitra!

Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s pairing always clicked at the box office. Whether it was brother-sister jodi in ‘Josh’ or romantic pair in ‘Mohabbatein’ and ‘Devdas’, the couple was accepted by the audience in every avatar. King Khan was the first choice for Mani Ratman film ‘Raavan’ but his dates clashed with Aditya Chopra’s ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and so he lost the chance to act opposite Aishwarya. Abhishek was then signed.

SRK was to pair with Ash for ‘Chalte Chalte’ but finally he dropped her and cast Rani Mukherjee due to his bitter relationship with Salman Khan. But scenario gradually changed and Ash moved out of Salman’s life and walked away blissfully with Abhishek Bachchan. Later she formed a good combination with Hrithik Roshan and their chemistry boomed in ‘Dhoom 2’ and ‘Jodhaa Akbar’.

There was Shakti Kapoor, Aditya Pancholi, Mukesh Rishi, Ekta Kapoor with her parents Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Anand Raj Anand, Jaspinder Narula, Monica Bedi, Abhijeet, Gurdeep and Arjun Punj, Hiten Paintal with his father Paintal, Poonam Dhillon and Anita, Pankaj and Niketan Dheer, among others.
The plane landed at Amritsar airport at 2 in the afternoon. Shilpa was dressed simply in a yellow salwar-kameez, and was accompanied by Raj. Shamita wore a pink suit, and walked alongside their parents Sunanda and Surender Shetty.

The airport was buzzing a huge crowd was waiting to welcome the guests with garlands and flowers. A special police band played a merry tune. The party reached the gurudwara around 3.30 pm. Shilpa immediately covered her head with her duppatta. Inside the gurudwara, again, there was a huge crowd waiting for a glimpse of all the stars. “Just the fact that I’m here is wonderful. I’m happy that my entire family and friends from Bollywood are here with me to do the sewa too,” Shilpa said. Her mother added, “We actually wanted to do some sewa, but looking at the rush here, we couldn’t.” Shamita, protecting her mother from getting pushed around by the crowd, said, “It’s been a great experience, but the rush was maddening and it spoilt our mood.”

Bipasha goes against John

2009-04-09T21:21:00.000-07:00

Bipasha Basu is not in the favor of beau John Abraham to cast opposite Vidya Balan and she is making much effort to convince John to walk out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much awaited flick ‘Chenab Gandhi’ in which he will be paired opposite Vidya Balan.

In the past, John and Bipasha had a fight over his pairing opposite Vidya in ‘Salaam-E-Ishq’ where the couple seemed to have shared a great on-screen chemistry. Soon after that rumors of their link-up spread far and wide and it is said that jealous Bips had a big tussle with John over the issue. Past record made Bips to convince John to get out of Sanjay’s venture.

A source says, “Bipasha has been coaxing John to step out of the project, but he doesn’t want to back out of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali venture. While the film was scheduled to start in April, it has now been postponed to December 2009 because of this uncertainty. This delay from John has been on purpose because he still hopes Bipasha would cool down. But it doesn’t seem so, as the couple has again begun to have arguments over this issue."

Earlier Harman Baweja was to act in ‘Chenab Gandhi’ but later he was replaced by John.

Katrina gets a new mark on her chest

2009-04-09T21:19:00.001-07:00

Getting tattoos on body is not a new trend in Bollywood although Katrina was the last in a row. She inked two tattoos on her soft skin, one on her chest and another on her arm. The tattoos are quite prominent and also erasable. Actually, it was inked on her body for a purpose. It was for a photoshoot for a magazine that she posed on Sunday. She could have remove it but Kat liked it so much that she decided to keep it for some days and not in a mood to erase it so soon.

Katrina Kaif was spotted flaunting her new beauty spot at the wrap-up party of director Rajkumar Santoshi’s film ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ where the entire cast and crew was present. The actress who posed Barbie doll recently was seen in upbeat mood at the party with a new hairstyle. Held at producer Ramesh Taurani’s home in Khar, Katrina was caught laughing and giggling with the guests, especially with her co-star Ranbir Kapoor.

Katrina is flying high these days and all set to create a new image with her non-glamorous role in ‘Rajniti’.

Priyanka Chopra fainted

2009-04-09T21:17:00.001-07:00

Priyanka Chopra is a workaholic. With rising stardom, she has started devoting maximum time to work without bothering about her health. Moreover, the actress has lost so much weight that it has taken a toll on her health. Working rigorously has left Priyanka weak and unable to take the heavy work load, she collapsed on the set of her latest film, Ashutosh Gowariker’s What's Your Raashee?

Tiredness and low blood pressure has left Priyanka frail and she collapsed. Immediately, doctor was called in and her mother was informed. On learning the incident, her mother rushed to the spot. The incident has shocked the unit members. After some medication, she recovered. Director Ashutosh Gowariker was ready to pack up for the day but professional Priyanka barred the director from doing so and she carried on with her work.

She went to the doctor for further treatment only after completing the shoot. Before she is fully recovered, she went ahead to perform at the Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2009 grand finale also.

Ash annoys Mani Ratnam

2009-04-09T21:15:00.000-07:00

Mani Ratnam is a perfectionist. He studies every angle of his film minutely and never compromises his requirements with anything so how can he tolerate the disobedience of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. As Ash is playing Sita in Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, he is having a tough time in handling Ash who is doing things according to her own wish and not listening to him. The second part of the film requires Ash sans make-up but the most beautiful women of the world is adamant to put some make-up.

Mani instructed Ash to keep her make-up to the minimum as the scene speaks about her emotions of being separated from her husband. Mani knows that the natural look of Ash would go very well with the scene but who will make Ash understand the matter as she is not in the favor of facing the camera without any decoration. When Mani discovered that Ash has defiled him and she has put some basic make-up, he immediately asked her to wash it off but shockingly he failed to bend her.

Both Ash and Mani had a little difference on that particular issue and they stick to their own demands.

Malaika denies pregnancy report

2009-04-09T21:13:00.001-07:00

The Lakme fashion week has witnessed sexy Malaika Arora Khan with bulging bump and the news of her pregnancy spread like a fire in the jungle. The news ran so strong that finally Malaika had to come forward to deny the news of her pregnancy. She said, "I think it was falsely reported, I don’t know why. But I’m not pregnant."

She justified her weight gain in the following way, "I eat fried foods, I eat sweets, I eat everything, but I know my limitations and I know when to stop and I know when I have to hit the gym. When I have to be a certain way, It’s only mind over matter."

Malaika is happily married to actor Arbaaz Khan and her relationship is going strong. They are blessed with six years old son, Arhaan.

Hrithik AND Suzanne in distress

2009-04-09T21:11:00.000-07:00

One of Bollywood’s most powerful couples, Hrithik Roshan and Suzanne Khan’s splitting story may be just another rumor but the couple is totally heartbroken with the entire episode of their break-up story. Hrithik Roshan and Suzanne Khan are very upset with the made-up breaking story and finding really tough to get out of the whole splitting drama.

However, Suzanne rubbished the rumor by saying that their relationship is going strong and some jealous person may be trying to pull her husband down. She further said that Hrithik is an amazing human being and they share a very beautiful and strong relationship.

It was earlier reported that Suzanne walked out of Hrithik’s house with her two sons due to Hrithik’s alleged relationship with his ‘Kites’ co-star, Barbara Mori.

But it turned out to be false as Suzanne clarified that she was staying in her parent’s house following some renovation work in Roshan’s residence. At present, Hrithik is having a gala time with her two sons, Hridhaan, Hrehaan and wife Suzanne at his in-laws house.

Kareena Kapoor happy to replace Aishwarya Rai

2009-04-09T20:35:00.000-07:00

Everything is going great in Kareena’s life and she is on cloud nine. With so many awards and film

offers, she is basking in joy and now with another recognition she is feeling at the top of the world. Kareena Kapoor is feeling proud to replace Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Filmfare's power list. She said, "I think Aishwarya has had a great innings. I think it's a great honor to be where she was in the power list. Power equations in the entertainment industry change minute by minute. I'm definitely going to try my best to hold that position."

Speaking about the prestigious position, Kareena said, “It's flattering. And it's scary. Lots of responsibilities. My power comes from my honesty to myself and to my work. I've always done things that come naturally from my heart. It's amazing that I'm in the power list although I've never applied much thought to the process of getting there. I'm all heart, as you well know. At the end of the day, being true to myself is very important”.

Kareena has delivered one after another hit over the years and she is happy what life has gifted her.

Mallika is making news in California

2009-03-31T09:12:00.001-07:00

The bold, courageous beauty had shied away from the Indian media and prefers to be seen with the Chings-&-Changs and Yin-&-Yangs. Well, this time round it’s California, that Mallika is shining in. She showed up at a fund-raising, wine-testing luncheon in Malibu, a few days ago and created quite a stir with her trademark deep neck. The actress, we hear, was auctioned, and the winning bidder got to spend a day with her — you know the usual lunch, photo-shoots et al. Of course the money ($1400) went towards charity. Maan gaye Mallika-e-Sherawat.

When Shah Rukh became Abhi...

2009-03-31T09:08:00.000-07:00

We recently learnt that when Gauri was to introduce Shah Rukh to her parents, she wasn’t so sure how they would react if they found out that he belonged to another community. So she conveniently changed Shah Rukh’s name and introduced him as Abhinav to her parents! Looking back, Gauri describes this as “silly and childish.” And as for SRK, he was ironically shooting for My Name is Khan while Gauri narrated this sweet little anecdote.

Shilpa Shetty says IPL is a long-term investment for me

2009-03-31T09:01:00.000-07:00

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, who co-owns the IPL Rajasthan Royals team with her London-based businessman boyfriend Raj Kumdra, considers it a long-term profitable investment.

"Raj and I have thought of it as a long-term investment plan and I really think the way the Rajasthan Royals have turned out as a team has been spectacular," Shetty, who was in Johannesburg to support her team told the Times.co.za in an interview.

Shetty is the latest Bollywood celebrity to invest in the popular Twenty20 format of the game after Shahrukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Preity Zinta.

Shetty is the co-owner of Rajasthan Royals, the winning team of 2008.

The IPL matches have been shifted to South Africa this year and will start from April 18.

Talking about her expectations from the team, the actress said, "Their (Rajasthan Royals) growth as a team and an investment has gone by leaps and bounds. It made money even last year, and it will continue to make money this year, despite the whole shift from India to South Africa."

Shetty said she liked the shorter format of the game as she never had the patience to spend whole day on cricket.

"I've always been a very impatient person. I always like to watch the last 20 overs. I've never had the patience to watch a whole match. This whole Twenty20 format for me is really interesting and I'm a huge fan of that," the actress said.

Asked to name her favourite cricketer, the actress said, "I think it's rather unfair of me to take just one player's name, especially when you're a co-owner. So I just simply say whoever makes the most runs, and gets the most wickets, for the Rajasthan Royals, becomes my favourite player."

Bollywood Actor Barred From Contesting Polls

2009-03-31T08:58:00.000-07:00

India's Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a Bollywood actor who has served nearly two years of a six-year prison sentence for illegal arms possession cannot contest India's general elections next month, a news report said.

A three-judge panel of the court refused Sanjay Dutt's plea to suspend his conviction and allow him to stand as a candidate for the Samajwadi, or Socialist Party, because he had been convicted of a serious offense, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.

Supreme Court officials were not available to comment Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Dutt told reporters that he would respect the verdict of the court.

"Sanjay Dutt is a nice man and he wanted to serve people, but this court order has prevented him from doing that, " Rajendra Choudhary, a spokesman for the Socialist Party said adding that the party would also respect the court's verdict.

In July 2007, the actor was sentenced to six years in prison for possession of illegal arms supplied by men convicted in a 1993 Mumbai bomb attack that killed 257 people and was blamed on Islamic extremists.

Mr. Dutt, a Hindu, was arrested in 1994 and had spent a total 20 months in prison when he was released on bail in November 2007 pending an appeal. No hearing date has been approved.

He was acquitted of more serious terrorism and conspiracy charges.

Indian law bans anyone who has been sentenced to serve more than two years in prison from contesting elections.

Voting in India's national elections will begin April 16 and last through May.

Mr. Dutt is popular for his roles as a reformed thug who follows the teachings of nonviolence advocate and Indian independence hero Mohandas Gandhi.

His latest film bit hit was "Lage Raho Munnabhai" or "Carry on Munnabhai," in 2006.

SRK drops ‘Kolkata’ Is Dada next???

2009-03-29T09:32:00.000-07:00

If this seems too much to swallow, even if you are not a die-hard Bengali fan, think about what it would take to drop The Great Bengal Tiger from the captaincy?

There is certainly more to this, than what meets the eye, especially if the Knight Riders’ coach, John Buchanan’s shocking revelation that Ganguly could be replaced with in-form McCullum is to be taken seriously.

So did the Badshah of Bollywood do this to try and turn his spate of bad luck, considering the fact that Jumaani clearly sounded off his (correct) prophesies on the same? In the first year of IPL, Jumaani had gone on record to say that Kolkata Knight Riders didn’t add up well, but sans ‘Kolkata’, just ‘Knight Riders’ added up to an auspicious number, as it totaled to the number 1 of the powerful Sun. Explaining further, Jumaani maintained that Sourav, a # 8, was far from lucky for SRK, as even in the past, this number has not been too good for the Badshah.

Says Jumaani, “On November 2, SRK had entered his 44th year, and 4+4 = 8, represents Saturn . Unfortunately, as predicted, it didn’t auger well for SRK what with his shoulder injury keeping him out of action for months and his Billu not faring well too at the BO. “We had, in fact, earlier warned him not to release Asoka on the 26th. He did, and the film bombed,” recalls the numerologist.

According to Jumaani, his association with Sourav Ganguly (08/07) who captained Knight Riders, wasn’t too fruitful. “In fact, right at the beginning, we had warned that the colour black used for their team jersey wasn’t auspicious as it is also the hue of the same Saturn and generally a colour of mourning in many communities. In fact, another team sporting the same colour that has never ever made it in the big league, is New Zealand. It has, on so many occasions, despite playing well, not managed to win a major tournament, leave alone the World Cup.”

Now that SRK’s team is using only Knight Riders in its logo, Jumaani says, “Our next suggestion to the team would be to also change the black colour of its outfits. And Sourav should wear jersey No 24 that we had recommended earlier too, which did him a world of good in the World Cup as he scored three centuries then, being the only player in any World Cup, along with Mark Waugh, to achieve this honour.”

But, what went wrong with Sourav and his coach once again? Having just recovered from the Greg Chappel spat, he is up again in a face-off with someone from his own camp! Informs Jumaani, “Born on 08/07/1972, Sourav is governed by Saturn Moon and Neptune, and his zodiac sign is Cancer. Two others who have captained India successfully have also been Cancerians. And they are Sunil Gavaskar (10/07) and Dhoni (07/07). Hence, coach John Buchanan’s claim that he is not a good captain does not hold water, at least as per numerology, and also not to forget the fact that Sourav has been one of India’s most successful captains.”

He goes on to say, “The combination of such numbers makes Cancerians quite creative and unconventional in their approach. However, like their symbol of the crab, which never walks consistently, such people are subject to sudden upheavals too. They are also quite moody in nature, as the Moon affects their mind, just as it causes high and low tides in the oceans. In Sourav’s case, Saturn often makes him misunderstood, and hence politics is not his cup of tea. Controversies usually surround the number 8s. Being a ‘Water’ sign as he is a Cancerian, Sourav had great difficulties with Greg Chappel earlier, who is a ‘Fire’ sign, being a Leo (07/08). Fire and Water can hardly stay together; no wonder then that John Buchanan is a Fire sign too, like all Arians (05/04/1953)! We know that Dada is currently in his 37th year and 3+7 = 1, of the Sun, and it is amongst his best numbers. Lakhs of people worship the mighty Sun. Sourav’s decision to retire gracefully from the Indian team had been timed well, in this sense. In fact, Dhoni won the best player internationally for ICC now when he’s in his 28th year, and 28=1.”

Sen sisters to walk the ramp

2009-03-29T09:28:00.000-07:00

The controversy over she not being sexy enough to carry off an item song might have every reason to confuse and disappoint her. But, Raima would rather push the memories of the whole episode behind her and move on to other things. And one of the reasons keeping her in high spirits now, is the fact that she will be returning to Kolkata on April 1 to walk the ramp for the weavers at the Kolkata Fashion Week. Joining her for the same event, would be sister Riya.

By her own admission, it’s been “many, many years” since Raima walked the ramp in Kolkata. “Every year, I’ve done shows in Delhi and Mumbai. I’m happy to know that Kolkata is also organising its own fashion week and am waiting to see how it goes. I’ll be walking the Kolkata ramp after many, many years,” she says about her show on April 2.

Though the siblings will not be showcasing the same designers’ creations, any professional work that brings the sisters back to their hometown, is celebration enough. “Since we belong to Kolkata, the fact that this fashion week is being held in the city, makes it all the more special for us,” says Riya, adding, “I’m always happy to come back to Kolkata, especially when work takes me there. I do a lot of ramp walks. But every time I walk the ramp, it feels like I’m doing it for the first time. The experience remains novel.”

As for movies, the sisters are poised at an interesting stage in their career, what with both balancing work in art house Bengali films and commercial Hindi cinema. Apart from Rituparno Ghosh’s Noukadubi that has the siblings in the same film, Raima is also in talks with two Bengali directors. “Since I haven’t signed anything yet, I wouldn’t wish to reveal the details now. Aparna Sen’s The Japanese Wife should release sometime this year. I’m also awaiting the release of Vinay Shukla’s Mirch, that also has Konkona and Shahana Goswami. That apart, there’s Leena Yadav’s Teen Patti with Amitabh Bachchan and Madhavan,” says Raima.
Riya, who has supposedly given one of her career’s best performances in Noukadubi, hasn’t taken up any new Bengali projects. “I’m busy with two Hindi mainstream films, the shooting of which will begin soon. Besides, I’m awaiting the release of Paying Guest.”

Till such time that the big screen dazzles with their sensational presence, Kolkata will only be too happy to host the Sens.

Shilpa visited London to buy house

2009-03-29T09:25:00.000-07:00

Shilpa has recently bought a home in Weybridge in Surrey, southeast of London, and is excited about getting married and having kids and bringing them up in the new house.

"I believe in the institution of marriage...I'm dying to have kids, and when you see the Weybridge home, it's huge, it's a great family home, so I can't wait to bring up children there," Shilpa said.

She is dating London-based Indian millionaire Raj Kundra.

Shilpa went to London March 15 but the Goody visit didn't materialise due to her family's objections. Goody died March 22 after losing her battle with cervical cancer.

Salman Khan Slaps Katrina Kaif

2009-03-29T09:21:00.000-07:00

Bad Boy Salman Khan might run into another failure in his relationship. And if sources are to be believed Salman Khan has slapped Katrina kaif over a small tiff. Is Salman Khan behaving the same way he did with Aishwariya Rai? Is Possessiveness the issue or there is another side to this problem?

As per a Goa Local Newspaper, Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar were shooting in Goa. Sallu Bhai feeling insecure about Kaif with Akki, bumped into the Shooting Sets and had tiff with Katrina. Probably Salman Khan has asked Katrina not to work with Akshay Kumar. But what Salman should know if that Katrina has given almost all her hits with Khiladi Number 1.

This isn’t the first time Salman has slapped Katrina. Few years back, a eye witness accounts to a Mumbai Local Newspaper that Kat and Sallu were sitting in a coffee shop. And suddenly Salman stood up and slapped Katrina. Though Katrina later refused to acknowledge that event!

What is ailing Salman in the relationship? It is said Salman is not happy with Katrina’s closeness with her co-stars. Recently he bumped into the sets of Rajneeti because of the rumours of closeness between Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. Before that Salman was not happy with Katrina’s closeness with Akshay Kumar. So much was the fear that Katrina on a chat show said she is not a close friend with Akki! So is insecurity of loosing Katrina causing problems in relationship? Is it the age factor?

Salman earlier had similar in-security problems with Ash, the relationship that run for three years. Salman is said to have barged into sets of Aishwariya, reportedly verbally abused her in front of co-actors, which costed her films and also made her depressed.

We can just hope that Salman learns from his past relationship and ensures a good healthy relationship, else we will see another failed relationship in Bollywood!

Kangana to play Haji Mastan’s wife

2009-03-29T09:18:00.000-07:00

Before playing the alluring star Sona who Haji Mastan wins over in Milan Luthria’s Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, Kangana Ranaut has made up her mind to meet the smuggler’s love interest on whose life the film is based. Says an excited Kangana, “You could call it either the love interest or interesting love. But the don and the actress shared such an amazing relationship. He made her laugh all the time and she liked that. He gave her all the attention and love she craved for.”

So fascinated was Kangana with the character that she decided to track down Sona. Sona lives quietly, away from the public eye, in Mumbai. Sona was one of the many starlets in Bollywood in 1970s. Haji was so besotted by her that he asked his filmmaker friends to cast her in their films. He produced a few films for her and friend Raj Khosla even made Kachche Dhaage (1973) with Sona in a pivotal role, but her career never really took off.

Finally, after a lot of hunting, Kangana has tracked down Sona, and is all set to meet her. “Yes, I am going to meet Sona soon. That’s going to be a crucial part of my preparation to play the character,” she says.

Apparently, Haji was in love with Sona because she resembled his favorite actress Madhubala. Interestingly this isn’t the first time that Kangana would be playing such a character. In Anurag Basu’s Gangster, she played Abu Salem’s moll. But Kangana was unable to meet Monica Bedi then, on whom Kangana’s character was modeled. This would be Kangana’s third biographical character, after Monica and later, Parveen Babi in Woh Lamhe.

Shilpa Shetty In Talks About 'Enders Role

2009-03-29T09:09:00.000-07:00

Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty could soon become a familiar face on British television screens, it has emerged.

Shetty, who has appeared in numerous Indian films, recently bought a £10m mansion in Surrey with boyfriend Raj Kundra.

Up until now, her exposure to UK audiences has been surrounded in scandal.

In April 2007, during an AIDS awareness event in New Delhi, she attracted outrage when Hollywood actor Richard Gere repeatedly kissed her in public.

It happened three months after she won a controversial series of Celebrity Big Brother.

The show hit the headlines when Jade Goody and other housemates were accused of racism and bullying the glamorous Indian star.

Shetty and Goody were later reconciled and the pair became friends.

They appeared together on the Indian version of the show last year when Goody received news she had cervical cancer, from which she died last Sunday aged 27.

Shetty said Goody helped to make her a household name in the UK, describing her as the "architect of my fame".

The actress was previously offered a part in Eastenders after her Celebrity Big Brother win but turned it down to concentrate on her Bollywood career.

Shilpa Shetty says Jade Goody made me a star

2009-03-27T07:47:00.000-07:00

The Bollywood stunner and the TV celebrity appeared on Big Brother in 2007, where Goody sparked thousands of complaints from viewers for her allegedly racist abuse of Shetty.

“She was the architect of my fame, and I give her the credit for that,” The Telegraph quoted Shetty, as saying during an interview on Richard and Judy.

Goody passed away on Sunday after a highly publicised battle with cervical cancer. She was 27.

Shetty said it was “destiny” for the pair to work together again on that show, but added: “We didn”t get a chance to bury the hatchet.

“We kind of moved on with our lives. Every time her name was taken mentioned. my name would be taken and the whole racism issue would be raked up… we had this weird connect in a strange way.”

Shetty said she last spoke to Goody two days before the British star got married in February.“She led a very short life, but she’’s seen it all, she’’s seen the highs, the lows, she’’s had children at such a young age, she’’s married.

Aishwarya Rai has declined to be immortalised as a Barbie dol

2009-03-27T07:44:00.000-07:00

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai has declined to be immortalised as a Barbie doll, due to her professional commitments.

It was earlier reported that representatives of the 35-year-old actress were in negotiations with Barbie’s manufacturer Mattel, who planned to give the iconic doll a Bollywood face. But the deal did not take off.

Since 1994 when Aishwarya won the Miss World title, the company has made numerous attempts to make a celebrity doll modelled on the Indian beauty. However, she could never get time for their endeavour, due to her professional commitments, she said.

Yet again on the doll’s 50th anniversary, Aishwarya was approached to appear decked up as a celebrity Barbie.

“Mattel was keen to have the actress walk the ramp on Lakme Fashion Week ‘Barbie dolled up’ in a winning design as Single Likeness Barbie, which would be unveiled and auctioned for a charity of her choice,” said a statement issued by Aishwarya’s spokesperson.

However, the actress opted out due to her prior commitments as she did not want to cause inconvenience to the film-makers she was working with by taking time out for the event.

Bollywood stars war with brands

2009-03-27T07:42:00.001-07:00

Aishwarya Rai is too old to be a youth icon? With more companies looking for newer models with a greater reach to sell their product, it’s offers poring in for young, haute actresses in the country today. And cashing in on that are many petite damsels, from Genelia to Bebo and the newest kid on the block in Bollywood, Asin. The ‘Ghajini’ actress has, most recently, signed up a deal to endorse Big Bazaar, along with cricket star MS.Dhoni.Brand wars could well be the newest thing among heroines today, as the female leads have been vying with each other to clinch international brand contracts. If Ash turned down Loreal’s fairness cream, Sonam Kapoor got it. And Asin has now become brand ambassador for Fairever Fruit. Genelia, it may be recalled, endorsed Fair and Lovely in the early days of her career.

Among soft drinks, if Genelia and Trisha have been the pretty new faces on Fanta ads, Asin has continued her support for Miranda with another series of wacky ads.

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan

2009-03-27T01:08:00.000-07:00

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan is in for some trouble as the Income Tax department has moved the Supreme Court challenging a seven-month-old order of the Bombay high court, which had given relief to Big B in a case related to his super hit TV show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’.

The Income Tax department is not in consensus with the HC order that had agreed to Bachchan claiming a benefit under Section 80RR of the Income Tax Act which provides 30% tax relief on income of artistes from outside India.

According to the department, Big B was an anchor of ‘KBC ’ and not an artist. Moreover, the income to be categorised under Section 80RR must have either come from abroad or the artist must have performed outside India but in this case the show was shot in Mumbai itself hence, no tax relief should be granted.The dispute over taxation is on a total earning of Rs 13 crore which Bachchan earned from ‘KBC’.

Shah Rukh Khan Will Change His IPL Team Name

2009-03-27T01:06:00.000-07:00

It is being suspected that Shahrukh Khan has been discarding his IPL team captain because he was suggested by his numerologist that number 8 is not favorable for him and he should remove the name Kolkatta from his IPL team logo. Saurav Ganguly is a number 8 person and hence he had to be replaced by somebody who is luckier for Khan. Many numerologists have been predicting that the number 8 is not only unlucky for Shahrukh but the number has been harming him and it was said that when Shahrukh entered his 44th year of life that summed to 8, he had to suffer the shoulder injury and he was kept out of action for the health issue.His film “Billu” did not perform well on box office and the use of Black color in team jersey was also opposed by astrologists.

“Elections are the number one priority and we had to take it into consideration. We want to have this tournament too, so this is a good decision

as every fan will still get to see it from 4 pm to 8 pm.”
Preity Zinta

“It’s a great decision. We’ll follow what the IPL and the BCCI decide. The buzz which is in India will not be there, but the election buzz will be there.”
Shah Rukh Khan

“The news is disappointing… However, if the choice is between no tournament, or the tournament in another country, then we clearly prefer the latter.”
Shilpa Shetty

Mugdha Godse Takes on Asin

2009-03-23T19:15:00.000-07:00

Asin walked away with all the awards for her debut act in Ghajini this year. And one actress who is highly disappointed with this is Mugdha Godse, a catwalker who made a mark in her debut film Fashion. Mugdha expressed her displeasure by saying, “Awards are just trophies and if all of them have gone to an actress who has done around 12-13 South Indian films already, what can you say?

People have appreciated my performance in Fashion and their SMSes are my rewards.” While Godse readies herself for Bhandarkar’s Jail, she better ready herself for a solid catfight, too, because we aren’t so sure that Asin is the quiet, listening types.

Sonam Kapoor chooses acting over beauty

2009-03-23T19:13:00.000-07:00

Whoever says our newcomers are all about good looks and no substance are wrong.

Though Sonam Kapoor loves all the compliments coming her way, it’s not enough! “Every other girl today is beautiful, so thank you, but no thank you,” is Sonu’s reasoning.

So one had better not go just skin-deep in one’s praises for her. Pump up the compliments with some ‘talented’ twists as well, and SK will look even more beautiful with that multi-watt smile. Theek, Sonam.

Neha Dhupia Telly trouble

2009-03-23T19:11:00.000-07:00

It was recently reported that Neha Dhupia will be participating in the second season of Khatron Ke Khiladi, but she denies it.

Neha says that with five films lined up for release this year there’s no time for television. The films in her kitty include Paying Guest, Pappu Can’t Dance Saala, Raat Gayi Baat Gayi, Raftaar and De Dhana Dan. She says, “Obviously there has been a communication gap. There is absolutely no confirmation or even speculation from my end about being part of the show.”

Celina Jaitley wary of relationships

2009-03-23T19:08:00.000-07:00

Darling, I was busy, the gorgeous Celina Jaitley croons over the phone. Finally, she took our call as she awaited her flight back home, having spent more than 10 days in Hyderabad.

“It was like studying for the board exams,” she sighs and explains —“It’s for Sreemathi, dear! I’d been mugging up two pages of Kannada dialogues everyday!”

By the way, Celina’s who’s done an international film, Love Has No Language, is a whiz with languages. Hold your breath! She knows more than five languages and that includes German (she’s a pro she says) and a smattering of Spanish.

So, she does seem to have a fascination for all things firang — from Hollywood ventures, to being a tourist ambassador for Egypt, to boyfriends. When we ask her, she laughs, “I had only one boyfriend and it was a bad experience. I am wary now of relationships. I don’t believe in casual dating and I am looking for a relationship that lasts a lifetime. For the past three years, I haven’t felt the need for a partner. I’m busy with work and life is good!”

Yes it is! Her platter’s full and she’s got interesting roles to play. She reels out a list — “In Sreemathi, a remake of Aitraaz, I play a gold-digger. This is the first time I’m doing a negative role. In my upcoming films I play varied roles, from the typical Sandra from Bandra, to a bar dancer in Tigmanshu Dholia’s Showman, who loves to speak English just to show that she’s educated. Then in Suneel Darshan’s film, I play a psychopath who keeps a man half-alive for 25 days — this is a real life incident that was made into the film Accident at Hill Road” she says. Celina tells us that she also doing a Bengali film, besides Subhash Ghai’s Hello Darling and Paying Guest. Then there’s Chai Garam with Govinda and Run Bhola Run which stars Tusshar Kapoor.

And, what about her pending Hollywood project Queen of Scheherzade. “The film had got delayed due to a writer’s strike and then it is recession now. But the film is on the floors and I had to undergo special training for the film. Riding a horse without a saddle is a challenge and I also learnt sword fighting - I had to do it with a short Afghan knife called the khara.”

Slowly, we veer her back to Hyderabad. So, how was her stay here? “I’m not joking. Hyderabad is fantabulous. It should be the capital of India! I loved gorging on haleem everyday. It’s the best in the world.”

Haleem, that too during Lent, the 40-days of fasting, that she is known to keep? “This is the fist time I’ve skipped, that too on doctor’s advice. I’ve had bouts of low BP and I was afraid I’d conk out on the sets,”

Kajol is nowhere in the news of late… How is it that we suddenly remembered her? Well, it’s thanks to dance expert Sandip Soparrkar.

While in conversation with him, we gradually went on to speak about the dancing talents in Bollywood. And, he bravely claimed, “Kajol is one of the best dancers we have! Nobody has tapped her dancing talent on screen as yet. I have seen her doing the salsa and have to say that she is simply superb. She can do hip-hop, folk, any form of dance with equal ease!” Ajay Devgan, it’s time to make a musical next and get wifey dearest dancing to your tunes all over again.
