Priyanka Chopra: Media savvy!

The tussle between the media and actors as to whether the latter’s personal lives should be written about without their prior consent, is a never-ending battle. And while every actor vehemently denies the media’s right to such news, some actors take a different view altogether. Like Priyanka Chopra. Ask her whether she thinks some of the media overdo in the probing bit, and she agrees that the media has every right to know about an actor’s professional life. But there should be a limit to the extent they probe in their personal lives. Being the centre of attraction they generally suffer and lack privacy which sometimes, makes their lives quite difficult. After all , they are also apart of the same society. Well said Priyanka!!

Recalls Aushima, “Yeah there were quite a many narrow escapes while doing those Jet Ski scenes. Kunal drove so fast that I just flew into the water and he even made my nose bleed during one take. But he is such a gentleman he kept apologizing the entire day! It was fun though shooting those scenes in water, quite thrilling!”

Shilpa Shetty and her beau plan a bash for sis Shamita

That Shilpa Shetty is no more single is a stale news now. Shilpa has found company in UK based businessman Raj Kundra. Kundra was introduced to Shilpa last year by her manager Farhath Hussain with a proposal to launch a perfume. Their professional association blossomed into a relationship in a matter of months.

Now, this Raj Kundra is quite close to Shilpa and has been truly accepted by the Shetty Parivaar. Proof? Raj is currently in Mumbai and is busy planning to hold sister Shamita’s party at China House next week. Shamita’s birthday falls on February 5.

A source close to the Shettys reveals, “The guest list and the menu are being discussed in great detail. Raj has become close to the Shetty family and Shamita is especially fond of him. She feels he’s right for her sister.”

Malaika Arora Khan performs stunt for ‘Dhoom Macha De’

Malaika Arora Khan is hosting a reality show ‘Dhoom Macha De’ for NDTV and she is taking in all efforts to make the show appealing. Recently, she has shot a dangerous stunt for the pilot episode of the show.

Action director Ravi Dewan helped her perform the special stunt. “I was tied to a harness and lifted up in the air. After that, I twist and jump off. It was quite fun, but one has to realise these things can go wrong if not handled well. I was lucky I had professionals working with me on the team,” recalls Malaika.

Malaika’s son Arhaan too was present on the set and cheered his mom on as she performed the stunt, “He was as cool as a cucumber. In fact, after watching me do the stunt, he too wanted to try his hand at it. So we got him a mini harness and let him jump off it. I think he’s got the daredevil streak from me.”

It is clear that the lady has a thing for action and stunts. She began her Bollywood career by dancing atop a train for ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ in ‘Dil Se’. For ‘Om Shanti Om’, she got into a harness and jumped down a building with SRK.

The show, to be aired from February 1, will have eleven of India’s popular and professional singers. The star contestants of the show include Anaida, Baba Sehgal, Babul Supriyo, Devang Patel, Jaspinder Nirula, Jassi, Kamaal Khan, Richa Sharma, Sapna Awasthi, Suneeta Rao and Taz, who will be judged by Sharmila Tagore, Shankar Mahadevan and Prasoon Joshi.

While Akshay was busy finishing the shooting schedule of his film Singh is Kinng , Ganesh Acharya visited the sets and asked him to do an item number in Money Hain Tho Honey Hain”

Akshay the money maker who wanted his price, asked the director to fix a meeting with the producer Kumar Mangat if they wanted him to do a item number. Actor is said to have quoted 1.5 crore for this number.

Akshay, whose 3 films earned around 730 crores for the bollywood industry in 2007,is said to be in peak of his career and is demanding a whooping 20 crore fo each film . And for just an item number his quote of 1.5 crore seems to be worthy.

Well …what remains is whether the makers of the film will be ready to go ahead with the actor and his price.

Bollywood Actor Salman Khan Wedding

salman khan

Bollywood’s most eligible bachelor Salman Khan is all set to tie the knot in October, this year.

According to the sources, bollywood’s spoilt boy Sallu has finally decided to give up his bachelor status and settle down. It is said that the actor has given in to the demands of his parents, who want their son to marry and start a family as soon as possible.

Salman who has been seeing British born Indian Actress Katrina Kaif for nearly three years now, seems to have found his soul mate in her. After having had a string of affairs with famous models and actresses which include Aishwarya Rai, and Sangeeta Bijlani, its Katrina who got the star thinking of the Final Commitment.

Though the actress who stood by his side during his short lived jail term in the Blackbug case has openly said that she has no plans for marriage in the near future at least for 5 years, sallu’s decision to settle down might cause her to have second thoughts on the subject.

It is said that Katrina is miffed with salman , as the latter is pestering the former for marrying and that is the reasons ,for the latest rift between Katrina and Salman.

To surprise all ,Katrina was seen dating and partying with Ranbir kapoor very recently ,which also hints that she is completely vexed up with sallu’s proposals to marry and is in a look out for another Boyfriend.

There is a buzz in the bollywood that Katrina is now a settled actress and so she does not need any kind of support from anyone.

However, Katrina apart from her regular shooting schedules is busy in grooming her sister who is also making her debut into bollywood in the coming June of this year.

So, if Katrina says no, as her career is said to be in its peak presently, then who will be the Bride for Sallu is the million dollar question.

After all, it was not easy to convince Sallu to settle down into dreary ways of Matrimony!

Some roles are made especially for some actors or actress. For instance, a prostitute role is ideal for Rani Mukherjee. Dear O Dear, I am not thinking it!!!!!.Ace directors are thinking in that way. Consequently Rani is taking role of prostitute in the film " Laga Chunari me Daag" .

This film will portray the journey of a prostitute and also sketches the present socio-economic condition of India. Not only that, Rani will also cast in role of prostitute in n Sanjay Leela Bhansali's forthcoming film "Saawariya".

Vidya Balan serching for her dream man still










First she was linked with John Abraham during Salaam-e-Ishq and now she is being attached to her Heyy Babyy and Bhool Bhulaiya co-star Akshay Kumar , but Vidya Balan says that she is still looking for her Mr. Right.
Vidya is unfazed and rues about the scarcity of eligible bachelors in filmdom. "Yes, I'm young and single and most certainly looking forward to being in love. Unfortunately, both John and Akshay are attached. And that creates an embarrassment more for them than for me. So that's that...

"Come to think of it, where are the eligible single guys in our industry? I'll have to look elsewhere," Vidya told a news agency.

Commenting upon her link-up with Akshay, she said: "I'm quite prepared for stories to filter back. I've gone through this before. During 'Salaam-e-Ishq' they linked me with John Abraham because people saw us having so much fun together. Now there'll be gossip because Akshay and I had a great time."


"Akshay is a major prankster. I had to be on tenterhooks all through the two schedules. One never knew what Akshay was up to. My one ambition in life is to get even with him for all the pranks he has played with me. Shooting has never been so much fun. I didn't even realise how these two long schedules for two completely contrasting films passed by," Vidya said.

Ayesha Takia’s Deadly Stunt

dhoom 2
Performing deadly stunts has become the latest trend in Bollywood these days. We have heard of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai performing some great stunts in the forthcoming film Dhoom 2. And now we hear the cute and bubbly Ayesha Takia performed a daring stunt all by herself for her upcoming movie. But we hear the actress met with a near fatal accident while shooting in Rajasthan.

“It was a train sequence and Ayesha had to run alongside the train. She was running on the platform. Suddenly, we couldn’t see Ayesha any more. We all thought that Ayesha must have come under the train” says Elahe, the executive producer of the movie. Ayesha had apparently fallen from the platform and was badly hurt.

All we can say to these petite actresses is leave the stunt job to the actors. You have many more better things to do …

Sushmita Sen splits - with her house keeping staff!!!

sushmita sen house-keeping.jpgWonder when will people learn that servants are servants… they can’t possibly be treated like family members… oki I do agree to all the shit that my mom keeps telling me that they’re also human beings, they have their own feelings n blah blah… but however kind you are with them, they do need to be shown their place time and again!!!

Take Sushmita Sen for example… the poor babe had been too busy with her hectic shooting schedules I believe and her house-keeping staff was conveniently taking the advantage of that… they used to get unknown people to her house and do all sorts of stuff… and the moment she came to know of this, she fired almost her entire army of servants…

It actually was an army you know… EIGHT of them! I just wonder for what all had the ex-Miss Universe kept so many servants?!?!? It’s after all just she and her lil adopted daughter – Renee!

Aishwarya-Abhishek marriage controversies and Ash-Abhi Post-marriage Photos


Aishwarya- Abhishek marriage has left many schedules haywire and not everyone is happy about such a thing. Rani Mukherjee, who has been a great co-star with Abhishek Bachchan is annoyed. Not because she wasn’t invited for the wedding, but because Abhishek has delayed the shoot of their next film ‘Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag’ for which they are paired together for his honeymoon plans. Because oh this delay Rani’s other projects would also suffer. Well you can’t actually blame her after such a thing. It takes good amount of strength to digest that in spite of being a good family friend, she wasn’t invited for the wedding because of Ash’s dislikes for her, and to top all that this professional delay!
Aishwarya Rai has decided to take up the Bachchan title by her own will and this information was passed to media by Big B. Also that both Aishwarya and Abhishek will stay with Big B and Jaya Bachchan instead of staying separate. Big B also expressed his and Jaya’s wish for Ash to continue her career. But not everyone in the industry is anyway interested to work with Ash.

“I have not seen any of her movies. I don’t know her and really don’t want to know,” said Mahesh Bhatt when asked to comment on Ash’s career graph. Wondering on that statement? I am not!

Let us wait and see what else comes up in the wake of their marriage but till then enjoy their post-marriage photos. Aishwarya and Abhishek in Anil Ambani’s private jet on their journey to Tirumala:

Rani Mukherjee to Get Married Next Year

rani_aditya_chopra.jpg

Looks like the stars are influenced by Abhishek and Aishwarys’s wedding and don’t want to involve the media at their wedding. So it will be a private wedding with just good friends and relatives. Hmmmm, so definitely all the fans of Rani will be disappointed that they cannot catch the glimpse of their favorite star at her wedding. Come on that’s not fair, at least the media should be allowed at the wedding so that Rani’s fans can see her on this occasion.

Rani Without Make-Up

mukherjee.jpg

Well, this is how Rani looks without make-up.

All these looks are thanks to the L’Oreal effect. Rani is said to have a soul touching smile though and most of them agree on this point.

Why do actors take so much of pain to look good, Why cant they be just as they are ?

It is because it is human tendency to get attracted to something attractive. That’s why our actors take so much of pain and go under the surgical knife a million times.

It is to gain public approval.

But is this pain worth it?

Beauty fades away and this phase in their lives to passes away too.

Well this concept depends on each one’s perspective.It is individual choice. After all it is their body.
