Payal Rohatgi shot into limelight from the oblivion with ‘Big Boss 2’, though we need not mention here the cat-fight she had with Sambhavna Seth and the way Sambhavna gave her the hell of a time on the exit interview with Pooja Bedi on Bigg Boss 2 . Sambhavna had written down the names of her notorious movies and was defending her “down market” remarks made by Payal during the show.

None the less Payal swore that its all in the past and now has buried the past by launching her official website. This was just the right time to launch her website when ‘Big Boss 2’ made her noticed and her role as a ‘full of life’ yoga instructor in the movie ‘Dil Kabaddi’ got her critical acclaim.

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan to feature in ‘Dil Kabaddi’

Payal Rohtagi is very excited about her forthcoming ‘Dil Kabaddi’ as she feels her role in the film will make a big difference to her status in Bollywood. The film has Soha Ali Khan in the lead role. Also, the film will have the famous composer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan appear on-screen. Khan will play himself in the film and will be seen lip-syncing his own number. It was Soha’s idea to have Khan’s presence in the song that he was offered to compose. Though the singer was reluctant initially, he finally agreed to be a part of the film. It may be mentioned here that Khan’s guru and uncle Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, too, had made a fleeting appearance in the Bobby Deol-Aishwarya starrer ‘Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya’.

Director Anil Sharma said, “When we were discussing on the sets that we had approached Rahat Fateh Ali Khan to sing the song, Soha said we should request him to also feature in it.”

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan says, “We singers are used to performing live, but to shoot for a film is different altogether. When Anil Sharma approached me to compose and also perform, I was apprehensive, but then I thought why not?”

Big Boss calls Payal and Sambhavna back to house

Ever since the two hot-n-spicy inmates of Big Boss 2 got voted out, the TRP of the show has been falling. Talking about Sambhavna Seth and Payal Rohtagi, the producers of the show have called them back in the house. Based on insiders, the show producers had to request Sambhavana Seth to join the show. Sambhavana is known to stand up for her point and challenge all men, be it Ashutosh or Raja. This time Sambhavna is in no mood to spare anyone, who voted her out.

Payal Rohtagi, who claims to have benefited a lot from the show is also happy to make a short comeback on ‘Bigg Boss’, specially when Rahul Mahajan seems to be having a romantic fling with Monica Bedi. It is also quite well known with the viewers that Sambhavna and Payal cannot stand eye to eye with each other.
