I was lucky that Gangster was a huge success at the box office. I won many awards and industry has given me another chance. Otherwise, it’s an industry that is very unforgiving to strangers. This year I’ll try a lot of new genres, different movies. There was a lot of hard work, but also a lot of fun.

Kareena likes to be Natural

The trendsetter of size zero in Bollywood, actress Kareena Kapoor now ‘hates’ to be called size zero. She has gained weight in right measure at right places, and now is in love with her zaftig, voluptuous figure.

Recently during the photoshoot for a shoe brand, Kareena, who is at her curvy best, did not opt for any photoshopped effects to make her pictures more photogenic they were shot. She wasn’t conscious at all about her legs not looking lean. As a source tells a tabloid, “Kareena’s photos are natural as she never asks for airbrushed pictures.”

Usually celebrities ask for touchups but Kareena likes to keep it natural. For her upcoming films too she is without her size-zero frame. So, whether it’s Ra.One, Bodyguard, Agent Vinod or a Karan Johar film with Imran Khan, we will see Bebo in new avatar that is nowhere near her wispy look in Tashan or Kambakkht Ishq.

Saif Ali Khan talks about Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman

Actor Saif Ali Khan says he is not in competition with the three other Khans of Bollywood - Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman. He is happy with the position he has in the industry and adds that he has “a long way to go”.

“They have worked in iconic and more successful films. Aamir’s debut movie ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ was a superhit, Salman’s ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ was also a superhit, Shah Rukh’s done equally good. I am really happy with the position where I am,” Saif told reporters here Friday.

“I look forward to doing better films and rising up to that position, but they are senior to me and have worked in great films. They completely deserve the position they are in. I have a lot of respect for them,” he said.

The actor was speaking at the Epicentre Auditorium in Apparel House, Gurgaon to join celebrations with the Taj Enlighten Film Society, which has been validated as India’s Largest Film Society by the Federation of Film Societies of India (FFSI).

Although Saif has carved a niche for himself in the industry, he says he has a long way to go.

“I think I do have a niche. I think I have the saleability, I have the ability to roll a project as a producer as well as the lead actor, which in itself is substantially satisfying achievement. But am I satisfied with the depth of the niche? No, of course not. I want it to be much deeper, work harder. I have a long way to go. Work is in progress.”

The actor is now busy with his first production venture spy thriller “Agent Vinod”, which also stars Kareena Kapoor in the lead.

“It is a very basic story. We are working hard on it and trying to take the action and the drama to another level,” he said.

After “Omkara”, he is again in talks with filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj to star in his new film.

“I am looking forward to working with Vishal Bhardwaj. We are on the verge of finalising things,” he added.

My role is the blink-and-miss in Aakrosh movie : Bipasha Basu

It’s never happened to her before. In her latest release “Aakrosh”, actress Bipasha Basu’s role had been cut substantially. But she is not sulking! In fact, she seems quite happy to be in the shadows.
“I knew from the start that my role was comparatively small. But I wanted to be part of the film because I believed in it. When I saw the complete film earlier this week, I realised my role had been edited out even more. Now I’m hardly there. Important things that I shot have been removed,” the actress says.
Naturally, Bipasha’s family and friends are disappointed.
“I quickly took charge of the situation in the theatre and told them to watch ‘Aakrosh’ as an Ajay Devgn film. I told my friends, ‘Hey guys. Just enjoy the film for Ajay. Forget I am there’,” Bipasha said.
“Sometimes it’s important to be part of a film that says something important. We live in the cities and half the time we don’t even know what’s going on in the backward areas. We city folks live a blinkered life. As an actor, I am ashamed to say I’m not aware of the world as much as I should be.”
“Though my role is the blink-and-miss kind but I’ve no regrets about doing it. The greatest of actors do walk-on parts when they believe in a project.
Aamir Khan entered ‘Taare Zameen Par’ at mid-point. And John (Abraham) insisted on being a small part of Sooni Taraporewala’s ‘Little Zizou’ because it was about football,” she added.

Actor Sanjay Dutt blessed with twins babies

Sanjay Dutt’s Wife Manyata Gives Birth To Twins, A Boy And A Girl In Breach Candy Hospital.
The wait is finally over as Sanjay Dutt’s wife Manyata has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl in Breach Candy Hospital. Sanjay was really excited and tensed at the same time, but both mother and kids are doing well.
People have already started wishing them on Twitter. Shilpa Shetty writes, “Congrats Sanjay and Manyata on ure twins..soooo happy.”
Farah Khan Ali writes, “Congratulations to Sanjay and Manyata. They have been blessed with a baby boy & a baby girl. Mashallah. God Bless".

Sanjay already has a daughter Trishala from his first wife Richa Sharma, who studies in US.

It was great working in a different genre : Kangana

She started her Bollywood career at the age of 17, and over the period of four years, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut says, the industry has helped her realise the importance of being disciplined.

"I have definitely changed a lot. I mean from a reckless teenager, I have become a very very well organised and disciplined person," said Kangana.

"Moreover, when you are working, and for the fact that young people like me who have started at 17, they cannot afford to be themselves. You have to really change with the time," she added.
The actress made her Bollywood debut with Mahesh Bhatt’s Gangster - A Love Story in 2006, which won her critical acclaim. She was later seen playing a mentally unstable girl in Mahesh Bhatt’s another movie Woh Lamhe.

Her stupendous performance as a drug addict model in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion won her a national award. The actress was last seen in Hrithik Roshan-Barbara Mori starrer Kites.
Although Kangana admits that her journey has so far been good, she says as an outsider she had to work really hard to make a place for herself in the industry.

"It is very difficult as an outsider as people don’t support you, media also accepts those who come from a film background, it takes time, eventually you have to work very hard to sustain and if you are good at your work, you will succeed," said Kangana, who was present at Kingdom of Dreams to promote her new film Knock Out, which also stars Sanjay Dutt and Irrfan Khan.

Asked if in any way the industry has changed her outlook towards things, she said: "I am nobody to be judgemental, what matters more to me is what is the industry’s perception about me, what do they think of me."

In most of the films, Kangana was seen doing tragic and serious roles, but with a slew of light-hearted films like No Problem, Rascals, Double Dhamaal and Tanu Weds Manu, the actress is set to change her so-called serious image.

"It was great working in a different genre. Although it is said that it is difficult to make people laugh, everything is tough. You have to really develop your skills, you are not born with dancing skills, comedy or serious acting, you have to make an effort to learn it," she said.
Kangana aspires to do characters that are completely different as well as challenging.

"I want to do a lot of different characters. They are not in my mind. I wish people come over to me with something challenging, something that is out of the box and not run-of-the-mill characters. I like this place (Bollywood). I want to be here," she said.
She might have played matured characters in her films but in real life, she is like any other normal girl, although she doesn’t like to mingle a lot.

"In real life I am like any other girl, very, very chirpy, talkative for my family and friends but I don’t mingle a lot," she said.

Irrfan Khan now wants to do a musical film.

After carving a niche for himself by playing unconventional roles, actor Irrfan Khan now wants to do a musical film.

“I want to do action films, comedy films and I want to be part of a musical. I want to do a character who sings or plays something,” Irrfan said .

After his recent release “Knock Out”, the actor has a bag full of films. He will soon be seen in “Paan Singh Tomar”, “Yeh Saali Zindagi”, “Saat Khoon Maaf” and “Thank You”.

Pakistani popstar Ali Zafar gave big hug to Katrina kaif

Pakistani popstar Ali Zafar got a fitting reward for a daring rescue act on the sets of the film ’Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ when he stepped into save leading lady Katrina Kaif from a mishap.

The ’Prince of Pop’ jumped in to rescue the Bollywood head-turner when her hair got stuck in a pedestal fan on the sets of the Yash Raj movie which is being shot at Nabha near here.

According to eyewitnesses, Zafar suffered minor bruises on his arm while Kaif who was terrified after the incident expressed her gratitude by giving the ’Tere Bin Laden’ actor a big hug.

However, a spot boy who was also injured in the incident was not so lucky.
In the past, similar rescues on film sets have proved to be typically ’filmi’, with the saviour and victim falling for each other. A case in point being Sunil Dutt’s courageous act to save Nargis from raging fire on the sets of ’Mother India’. The couple had soon tied the knot.

Mallika Sherawat’s Hisss not in USA

After making us wait for almost a year, and with much anticipation, Mallika Sherawat starrer Hisss is finally releasing on 22 October. But surprisingly this release date is only for India and not for US. Hisss will release in the US next year and the reason for it is that the movie needs to be promoted well in the west.

Isn’t it shocking, as Mallika spent almost a year in LA and one of the prime reasons for her stay was also the Hisss promotion? The movie was expected to release worldwide on October 22, but the co-producer of the film Govind Menon tells a tabloid that the English version will release in January 2011.

“We are not releasing it across USA now as we are building up the film a bit… Many Hollywood films don’t release on the same day across the world. There is some serious promotional work left for us to do,” Menon is quoted as saying.

Directed by Jennifer Lynch, Hisss is releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu this week, while the Malayalam one will come next week. In fact, its international version with subtitles will also release in Malaysia, Australia, UK, Fiji, New Zealand and South Africa the same week. According to Menon this is phase I for Hisss and phase 2 will see its grand release in Hollywood.

As for now Mallika is measuring the length and breadth of the country to promote Hisss.

I feel extremely lucky to be part of this project. Hope everybody likes it,” Neha said.Neha plays a cruel don called Munni Madam who hates men in the film.“At first, Neha refused.

But after a couple of music sittings she finally agreed to record. Surprisingly, she completed the recording in just one day which is commendable as she is not a professional singer,” said Subhash kapoor, the director of the film.

I am around with my family to celebrate the Durga Puja says Tanushree Dutta

The bong beauty, Tanushree Dutta, who is happy to be travelling around India to promote her upcoming film, is feeling slightly low as she will be missing celebrating Durga Puja at home. Tanushree Dutta says, “I always make sure that I am around with my family to celebrate the Durga Puja.

We usually decorate the house with diyas, flowers, incense, etc. and loads of Bengali sweets are also made which I love to savour. We also have lots of relatives visiting us from Kolkata and my hometown Jamshedpur. I have a strong belief in god and I know she protects me from all harm and will help sail me through all rough waters.

But this year I will be away from all the festivities especially visiting the Puja Pandal near my house in Lokhandwala."

Vivek Oberoi is very nervous

Vivek Oberoi is bubbling with excitement these days. He’s got a lot coming up in the days ahead - a movie release and a wedding.

Vivek is busy with the promotion of his upcoming film Rakta Charita. The movie will release on October 22, just a week ahead of his wedding to Bangalore’s Priyanka Alva.

So how is Vivek feeling in the run-up to his wedding and the film’s release?

“I am excited about my marriage and nervous about my film,” said Vivek who was in Bangalore to participate in an awards press meet and promote the film.

Upon his arrival in the city, Vivek was referred to as the son-in-law of Karnataka.

“Today I was referred to as Karnatak-ka-damad, instead of the usual terms like actor or hero when I arrived,” said Vivek who is set to marry on October 29.

However, after the wedding, Vivek and Priyanka won’t head to honeymoon straightaway. Vivek will be busy with the promotions of Rakta Charitra and honeymoon will have to wait till November.

Vidya Balan and Amitabh Bachchan joined hands once again

Vidya Balan and Amitabh Bachchan shared a terrific screen chemistry in the film ‘Paa’ where they played the role of a mother and son. And while that film went on to give ‘Auro’ his national award, the buzz is out that Vidya and Amitabh are teaming up again.

And yet again, they are not playing the romantic pair (which is surprising given that Amitabh has romanced younger lots like Tabu and Jiah Khan in ‘Cheeni Kum’ and ‘Nishabd’ respectively).

Well! Renowned Bengali director Rituparno Ghosh is all geared up to bring on celluloid the tale of Kabulliwallah penned by the Noble Award winner Rabindranath Tagore. Amitabh shall play the protagonist Kabulliwallah who woos the young girl Mini with his baadam pistas and akhroths. Vidya shall play the grow-up avatar of Mini.

Vidya Balan is pretty gung ho about this project as Kabulliwallah is one of her fav stories. Vidya often wonders what may have happened to the character of Mini post her marriage. This is, surely, a touching, moving tale of an old man and an inquisitive girl and deserves a celluloid immortality by the likes of great actors like Amitabh.

Action Replay is a time-travel comedy movie: Director Vipul

Akshay will be driving an Impala, and the two of them will be interacting with their fans and educating them on the art of wooing a girl while on a drive.

Akshay has been seen in a retro avatar over the last month to promote his upcoming flick Action Replayy and this drive is the latest marketing strategy for the film. The idea for the drive was conceived jointly by Akshay, Aishwarya and producer Vipul Shah as they felt that this would appeal to the audiences the most.

While speaking to the media, Vipul said “We felt that the charm of retro can’t be conveyed convincingly in mere words or visuals. It would make a bigger impact if we show it to the people.

Vipul has his eyes set on a bright red convertible Dodge Impala for the promotional event as it will add to the impact, “In our film, I also used an open convertible Dodge Impala in bright red. So we just might bring it back as its colour will add significantly to the overall impact of Akshay and Aishwarya’s drive,” added Vipul.

Vipul who has so far not spoken much about Aishwarya during the Action Replayy promotional events, said that he found Aishwarya to be simple and down to earth saying, "I think this entire ’Diva’ thing attached to Ash is just a media perceived image."

Vipul said that even though Aishwarya Rai was considered to be the most beautiful woman, she remains untouched by all the success and glory, and is just as simple as she first started.

Vipul Shah’s ‘Action Replayy’ is an unusual love story that unfolds backwards in time. Be ready to feel the magic of retro with this film which is based on a 1994 Gujarati play ’Action Replay’, and is a time-travel comedy capturing Mumbai in the 1970s. Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai play a couple who are constantly fighting with each other but were able to rekindle love on their 33rd marriage anniversary.

It is challenging to shift from the character another: Deepika

Deepika Padukone will be seen in two back-to-back films - as the free-spirited Aaliya in one and as the intense Kalpana in the other. The actress revealed that shifting roles was quite challenging for her.
“I did ‘Break Ke Baad’ and ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’ immediately one after the other. So I think it was very challenging for me in terms of my mind space to shift from the character in a romantic modern-day love story to the one in a period film,” Deepika said in an interview here at Turner Road.
“Break Ke Baad”, also starring Imran Khan, has been directed by Danish Aslam and produced by Kunal Kohli. It is the love story of a young couple who break up and try to come back together and will hit the screens Nov 26.
“Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey”, helmed by Ashutish Gowarikar, is a period film set in the Chittagong of British India. It revolves around a series of attacks that took place on a single night April 18, 1930, and its aftermath. The film, based on Manini Chatterjee’s book, stars Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika in the lead. The film releases Dec 3.
While the characters of both the films are quite diverse on the face of it, the 24-year-old actress revealed the core characteristics were pretty similar and hence she relates to both of them.
“Even though one film is a period film and the other is a modern day relationship story, both the characters - Aaliya and Kalpana - are very strong, independent women. They are girls who have their own set of ideals, girls who want to be independent; so in that way I have identified with both characters,” she said.
Deepika, who started her Bollywood stint in 2007 opposite Shah Rukh Khan in “Om Shanti Om”, went on to do films like “Bachna Ae Haseeno”, “Chandni Chowk To China” and “Love Aaj Kal”.
This year she has already had three releases, including “Karthik Calling Karthik”, “Housefull” and “Lafangey Parindey”.
Asked about the apparent similarity between her character in “Break Ke Baad” and in “Love Aaj Kal”, the actress said: “People feel that the films are similar, but that’s probably because both the films are love stories. Just because the genre is the same doesn’t mean that films are similar.”
“In fact Meera’s character from ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and Aliya’s character in ‘Break Ke Baad’ are completely different. Meera was a more mature, understanding girl, who understood relationships, she liked the idea of being in love, whereas Aliya is a complete opposite.

“She believes that if you are in a relationship, it doesn’t mean you have to get married. She doesn’t believe that a couple have to live together and certain things like that. Her way of thinking about a relationship is very different. She is also very immature sometimes when it comes to relationships,” she added.
Finally when asked about her experience of working with a debut director, the actress said: “Danish is a fantastic director; I think he is extremely talented and I’m not just saying this because I am working with him, but I think part of the reason for me to say yes to this film is because he came across as someone very confident, in spite of being a first time director.”

Endhiran makes history again

As fans continue to line up to watch Rajinikanth’s latest film Endhiran, the movie is smashing all box office records and writing history.

Making a film with a 60-year-old star and a whopping budget of Rs 160 crore did seem like a big gamble. But director Shankar has silenced all detractors, as the movie Endhiran shows no sign of slowing down at the box office down south.

According to a trade analyst, the Tamil movie (and its Hindi version Robot) has raked in a collection between Rs. 200 to 225 crores in just two weeks since its release on October 1. No other film in the history of Indian cinema has made so much money in just two weeks.

Going by the figures, Endhiran has collected Rs. 150 crores from Tamil Nadu only. Its collection from other south centres is close to Rs. 50 crore. And the earning of Robot (Hindi) stands close to Rs. 15 crore.

That’s not the end of it, as the film is likely to continue its good run in the weeks ahead.

Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra are in cosmic character

Box office collections notwithstanding, “Anjaana Anjaani” is certainly on a roll. The two suicidal protagonists in the rom-com who meet when they are on the verge of suicide are about to take a plunge in another direction.
The protagonists played by Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra will now feature in a series of comic books describing the adventures of their characters Akash and Kiera.
Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has spoken to a leading publishing house which enthusiastically agreed to the idea. The first graphics have already been prepared and if all goes well the inaugural comic based on Ranbir and Priyanka’s characters in “Anjaana Anjaani” will hit the stands for Diwali.
That’s right. Kiera (Priyanka Chopra) and Akash (Ranbir Kapoor), the losers in love and business, respectively, are now being relocated from the screen into print and on the internet as comic book characters.
Says producer Sajid Nadiadwala: “A lot of us involved with this film felt the Priyanka and Ranbir characters will translate well into comic books. We are in negotiation. But I can’t really talk about the project until all the deals are done. In fact, I’d request you to not write about this until everything is final. We don’t want the idea to be stolen.”

However, one of the actors from the film spilled the beans adding that if the comic books succeed, Nadiadwala also has plans of doing a cartoon version of the “Anjaana Anjaani” characters for satellite television and internet entitled “The Mad Mad Adventures Of Kiera and Akash”

Bipasha Basu is ready for action

Bipasha Basu became synonymous with fitness after someone made an unkind remark about her weight. She has since then, associated herself with all things healthy and is proof that one doesn’t need to be skinny to carry off stylish ensembles.

But she has apparently decided to lose some weight to work in an action flick. A friend of the actress said, “Bips is at her fittest best. And she wants to do an action film so she can match up to boyfriend John Abraham’s energy levels.”

The source added, “Bipasha feels that every girl should be strong enough to protect herself. And she is definitely fit enough to do an action role convincingly.”

Saroj Khan likes Vidya Balan Dance

Ace choreographer Saroj Khan, who has made actresses like Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan dance to her tunes, has actress Vidya Balan on her wishlist now.

“I want to make Vidya Balan dance. I like her expressions. I remember seeing her in ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’, her expressions in the song ‘Pal Pal’ were extremely good,” Saroj told reporters via video conferencing here.

After a successful first season of “Nachle Ve With Saroj Khan”, she is once again returning to the small screen with second season and this time choreographer Terence Lewis will be joining her.

Both the choreographers will be teaching their unique style of dancing to popular television celebrities. The line-up includes Neha Marda, Naman Shaw, Shaleen Bhanot, and Jay Bhanushali among others. All the celebrities will be competing with each other every week and then ultimately battle it out in the grand finale.

The show titled “Nachle Ve With Saroj and Terence” goes on air Oct 25 every Monday to Friday on Imagine TV.

Asked if the advent of international dance forms like hip hop, jazz has suppressed the classical dance form, she said: “I respect all dance forms, but I blame the parents for the supression of classical dance forms because they never encouraged their kids to learn them.”

The 61-year-old, who has been in the industry for over two decades, also expressed her distress over the change in the kind of Bollywood dancing over the years, but is confident that the era of elegant dancing will return.

“I hate those songs. In our time, actresses used to be fully covered when they used to dance, but today, you see them dancing in lesser clothes,” she said.

But life is a circle, I am sure that the previous era, where actresses used to dance with elegance will return. I have signed five films now where the directors want to have choreography like that of ‘Dola Re’, she added.

Wedding Bells for Actor Vivek Oberoi

After a lot of buzz that was created when Viveik got engaged, his wedding day will finally arrive at the end of October. The preparations for the actor’s marriage to Priyanka Alva are on in full swing. While the wedding rituals will take place in Bengaluru, the Oberois have organised a grand reception in Mumbai.

Our source said, “Viveik will tie the knot with Priyanka on October 29 and there will be a grand reception on October 31 in Mumbai. Viveik wants his friends from Bollywood to attend the reception.”

Viveik had maintained that he was open to an arranged alliance and Priyanka Alva was just the right person for him. “Viveik is pretty excited about it. He is looking forward to a life of marital bliss.”

Now Aamir has become a barber

After playing a milkman, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan will be seen donning the garb of a barber and a shopkeeper in new TV commercials.

Aamir, who is the brand ambassador of TataSky, plays a barber and a shopkeeper in two different television commercials of the DTH service.

In both the ads, the customer walks in asking for a particular haircut or a white shirt, while he is forced to take something completely different. The situation shown in the films draws a parallel between the DTH companies and the barber and the shopkeeper and has been communicated through the use of humour and satire.

Conceptualised by Ogilvy and Mather, the core theme of the ads revolves around TruChoice Packages being offered by Tata Sky.

Television viewers - whether cable or DTH - don’t have the true choice of selecting only those channels that they wish to watch. In the process, they end up paying for a host of channels they don’t watch or like. These packages give the subscriber the option of watching only those channels he/she likes to watch.

Earlier, the actor had actually turned into a barber while promoting his film “Ghajini”, where Aamir was seen giving his typical Ghajini-style haircut to his fans.

Kareena Kapoor wearing Golmaal 3 T-shirts

No designer gowns and dresses for Kareena Kapoor. The actress has been wearing her Golmaal 3 T-shirts with interesting dialogues from the film written on them for all the promotional events of the film.

Last week she was seen on Zee’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and Star Plus’s Chote Ustad wearing the tees from G3. In Golmaal 3 she plays a character called Dabboo, who according to Bebo is, "a bit of a tomboy and chavanni chhaap.

When we sat down to discuss the look of the character we felt that she should wear interesting tees. The idea to have the dialogues on the tees was Manish’s (Malhotra).

The T-shirts with messages were created specially for her character, "Dabboo is a total film buff and watches all Hindi films. She spouts Hindi film dialogues at the drop of a hat.

So we had tees which had famous Hindi film dialogues like Kitne aadme the Kaalia, Main apni favorite hoon, Mind it rascal, Chal Dhanno, Jahanpanah tussi great ho! written on them.

Rohit and Manish were very clear that though Dabboo was a tomboy, the character should dress masculine. The tees are subtly feminine."

Bebo adds, "Many people have already approached my marketing agency and G3 producers Ashtavinayak for tie up to merchandise the tees at various outlets for purchase. We will be working out a strategy for the marketing and sale of the T-shirts after the release."

Superstar Rajinikanth meets Sanjay Dutt

Superstar Rajinikanth recently met his good friend and Bollywood top star Sanjay Dutt. If sources are to be believed, the meeting took place at Bengaluru airport lounge a few days ago.

It is said that the top star of south India was at Bengaluru to check out the feedback to his recent venture ’Endhiran’ and Sanju for the promotions of ’Knock Out’.

"Both were pleasantly shocked to see each other. They guffawed and hugged more than once. And they exchanged pleasantries for a while much to the amuse of the other travellers", sources say.

Rajini and Sanjay share a very good rapport for decades now and the two actors had worked together in ’Khoon Ka Karz’ in the early 1990s. During that time, Rajini ensured that Sanju had breakfasts at his home, it is said.

Amitabh Bachchan wants his voice back

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is almost synonymous with his baritone voice. There was a time when All India Radio rejected his voice because they thought it wasn’t appealing enough.

But now, the voice has become the source of livelihood for several mimic artists. His unique voice is copied by advertisers to endorse products in ads and telecalling promotions. In the past, Big B has never given a serious thought on this issue. But now, the actor wants to copyright his voice so that the misuse stops.

The Megastar said that he was thinking about employing the laws of the country to prevent misuse of his voice. A few other actors too have done this in the past.

If Big B takes this step seriously then you wouldn’t hear mimicry artistes imitating his voice on their shows.

Katrina Kaif falls love on dhaba Food

Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif apparently felt hungry at Mussoorie, during the trip enroute Chandigarh. She, along with Imran Khan and the crew of the film ’Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ was on tour for the purpose of the shooting of the cited film. Katrina Kaif reportedly murmured to her co-star Imran Khan,

"I’m hungry!" Just then, they heard a voice inviting them to their dhaba with an assurance of quality food. Imran Khan had the vehicle stopped and led Katrina into the dhaba. Inspite of Katrina’s hesitation to have food in the roadside dhaba, Imran ordered for naan and chicken biryani. Katrina enjoyed the food and was highly impressed by the taste of it. Now, she has decided to have food in dhabas during her shooting schedules.

Shahid loves Harley Davidson’s bike very much

Shahid joins an elite club of A-listers who love to flaunt their fabulous machines. After Salman Khan, John Abraham, Uday Chopra and Sanjay Gupta, Shahid Kapur has become the latest entrant into the biker boys club in Bollywood. Shahid has always loved bikes and he bought himself the ultimate one - a Harley Davidson. The green coloured bike was delivered to him last week.

Our source said, “Shahid has been known for his love of bikes. Last year at an award ceremony, he came on a bike. But he he always wanted to own a Harley Davidson. He has even tweeted about his new possession. You can spot him riding his bike on the streets of Mumbai every night these days.”

After Shahid finishes his father’s film Mausam, he will start shooting for Sabbir Khan’s Heera Aur Ranjha. He will also decide on the offer made by Mira Nair which he wants to take up. Apparently he is pretty excited about it.

Bipasha Basu invites John for Durga puja to her town

In her own words, actress Bipasha Basu took actor-beau John Abraham to her hometown in Kolkata seven years ago, when they were just a year-old in their relationship. The star couple are once again Kolkata- bound for some family time with Bipasha’s parents, sisters -Bidisha and Vijayeta, and her extended family for Durga puja. The actor this time is looking forward to it for more than one reason.

“It’s my mother’s birthday on Nabami (October 16), and I’m planning to give her a surprise. I’m also dying to see my niece (Bidisha’s three-year-old daughter), who I’ve not seen for a long time. Yes, it is going to be one big family reunion,” says Bipasha.

“Last time when I went with John it was pandemonium.”

The only thing that she misses about not celebrating Durga puja in Mumbai is not being able to spend time with her friend and actor Rani Mukerji at the Durga puja held by her family (organised by the North Bombay Sarbojonin Durga Puja Charitable Trust and supported by DNA).

“Attending the family puja organised by the Mukerji clan is a tradition that I’ve followed even when I was a model. It used to be the closest to my house. It’s around this time that I became friends with Rani and got close to the family. I have some fondest memories of the Durga puja there, after I moved to Mumbai. I am a regular there, and it has always kept me in touch with my roots,” she says.

I am not on Twitter or any social networking site says Asin

Those who have been tweeting Asin on Twitter or sending messages to her on other social networking sites like Facebook or Orkut, here is an eye-opener.

The Ghajini gal is not on any of these sites. Rather it’s the imposters who have taken on her name and post messages regularly to fool gullible browsers.

"I am not on Twitter. There are some fake profiles and people actually believe that it’s me but that’s not really me. I am not on Twitter or Orkut or any social networking site. May be in future but I am not on it right now,” Asin is quoted as saying by a news agency.

Perhaps it’s high time she joined the web world.

Salman Khan rocks party

Salman Khan’s ‘Being Human’ show at HDIL-India Couture Week was a big success with Bollywood stars like Preity Zinta, Rani Mukerji and Sushmita Sen bringing alive the bygone era on the ramp.

This innovative and creative show was preceded by the screening of a short audio-visual on the particular period accompanied with dance performances.

Preity Zinta kick started the ramp walk in a red knee-length dress representing 1920s. She was followed by Katrina Kaif who represented 1930s in a long red gown. Then, Rani Mukherji walked the ramp in a black velvet choli and white lehenga, bringing alive the elegance of the 1940s. The next decade was depicted by sexy Bipasha Basu in a short black outfit. Karisma Kapoor draped in a red saree brought out the rock and roll glamour of 1960s. Sushmita Sen came up with the spirit of 1970s in a multi-coloured kaftan top and golden mini skirt. Priyanka Chopra was dressed in a white baby-doll dress to represent the silver screen`s glam girls of the 1980s. Kareena came across in a smart and sexy black power suit depicting the women of 1990s.

However, the man to steal the show from these gorgeous women was Salman Khan who wore red trousers and a black trench coat with glares and walked the ramp with a smile.

Aamir refused to work on Amol’s next film

The creative efforts of Aamir Khan and Amol Gupte had given us a sensitive film like Taare Zameen Par. But if the buzz is to be believed, Aamir refused to work on Amol’s next film. Rumours suggest that scriptwriter and actor Amol approached Aamir for a film. It was a subject close to Amol’s heart which he felt only Aamir could do justice to.

Our source said, “Amol met Aamir recently and the two even had detailed discussions on the subject as the actor heard Amol out patiently. “Apparently, the subject dealt with children and issues concerning them. Aamir felt the plot was very similar to what they had done in Taare Zameen Par. Though Aamir has great regard for Amol as a story teller, the actor felt that he would be getting repetitive in the film so he politely turned him down,” said our source.

It may be known that initially Amol Gupte was Taare Zameen Par’s director. But differences between him and Aamir made the latter take over as the film’s director.

Katrina Kaif visits Haridwar confidently

Bollywood’s barbie doll, Katrina Kaif, is not just beautiful by her looks, the actress has an unfolded religious side to her which lends her a purity of heart, rarely seen in star struck celebrities. Recently, the actress took some time off from the hectic shooting schedule of Yash Raj’s ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan,’ which is being shot in Chandigarh, Dehradun, and Mussourie, and headed to Haridwar for a holy dip in the river Ganga.

Rumor has it that Kaif’s visit to the holy shrine was kept a secret affair while she traveled with her personal entourage to avoid any security hassles. Katrina takes a holy dip in Ganga Reportedly, the ‘Raajneeti’ star chose to visit the banks of the river in the late evening to avoid any kind of unwanted attention.

A source close to the unit revealed, "Kat was planning to visit Haridwar for a long time. But she couldn’t take time off from shooting."“Since she was shooting for Yash Raj Films’ Mere Brother Ki Dulhan in North India, she decided it would be the best time to visit the holy place."Buzz has it, the actress went to one of the ghats for the holy dip and later had the darshan of a deity in a temple.

Dressed in a salwar-kameez with her head and face covered with a dupatta, the actress even took blessings from the priest, who then suggested her to participate in the maha aarti, held in the evening on the ghats by scores of priests together. "She’s a spiritual person and keeps that side of her private. The local pujari suggested she come back to Haridwar in the near future and also participate in a maha aarti to which she readily agreed," the source added.

Katrina, who has earlier been to pious places of worship like Shirdi, the Golden Temple, and the Ajmer Sharif dargah, is of a religious mindset and tries to visit sacred spaces in vicinity, whenever possible.

Imran braves 16 slaps from Katrina
When it comes to acting, Imran Khan sure idealizes mamu, Aamir, which is why the actor braved 16 slaps to get an emotional scene perfect in the film, ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’.

The scene required Katrina to hit him hard on face which she did lightly. Though the actress smacked him a fake one, he insisted on a real, cheek-flushing slap.

The actor even called a spot boy to count the number of slaps. According to him, the ‘logic’ behind it was that on the editing table, the director can choose the best among the various slaps.

Confirming this to a tabloid, Kat was quoted as saying, “Left to me, I’d have done just one fake slap and moved on. But Imran insisted that I do it realistically,” and claimed that this is one of the most authentic screen slap audiences would get to see.

Aishwarya Rai requested people ‘Don’t call me Ash’

It seems that Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai is tired of people addressing her by her nickname ‘Ash’ and has requested them to call her by her full name.

"When I joined the industry, people initially used to say they have difficulty in pronouncing my name, so they started calling me ‘Ash’. But now, it has been years and I guess, everyone can pronounce it properly," Aishwarya told reporters.

"So I would appreciate, if you people address me by my name - Aishwarya," she added.

The model-turned-actress walked the ramp for designer Manish Malhotra at the ongoing HDIL-India Couture Week and thanked her husband Abhishek for bringing the name issue in the forefront.

It is believed that Abhishek too had recently requested some journalists to refer to her by her full name.

Kareena Kapoor is emotional and kind-hearted actress in Bollywood

Kareena Kapoor is surely an emotional and kind-hearted actress, which was proved recently, when she appeared on a music reality show to promote her upcoming movie Golmaal 3.Now, here, something happened that was totally unexpected for Kareena. Suddenly, the host announced that they have brought a very special person to the show, who has been very closely associated with Bebo’s grandfather Raj Kapoor. He also said that the person has cradled Kareena when she was a little kid. But this renowned technician of yesteryear is now very lonely and in deep financial trouble.

Kareena was in tears on listening this news. In a few moments, a man seated on a wheel chair was taken to the stage while the live audience maintained a total silence. The host paid his homage to the man saying that industry people tend to forget the contribution made by the technicians to the world of cinema.

An overwhelmed Kareena walked up to the frail man with a cheque of Rs 8 lakhs. The old man accepted the cheque with shaky hands. A humbled Kareena, then, bent down to take his blessings. At this point of time, she was shocked to see that the old man rose up from the chair and took off his wig. When the person removed his makeup, it was found to be her co-star comedian Vrajesh Hirjee.

However, Kareena took it sportingly and said that thankfully she did not touch his feet. She broke into a laughter and tears turned into smiles!

I’m trying a lot of new genres and different films: Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut unconventional looks and frizzy hair landed her typical roles in Bollywood.

Kangana Ranaut now harbours a dream of donning the director’s hat and already has a script in mind. “I’m quite happy with how my career is moving. But in terms of the future, well, I guess I’d like to direct a movie. I have a script in mind,” Kangana says.

But she refrained from divulging more details. The 23-year-old sailed into Bollywood with the crime-based romantic saga ‘Gangster - A Love Story’ (2006), where director Anurag Basu presented her as a gangster’s girlfriend. She won accolades for her portrayal in the critically and commercially acclaimed film.

After that she chose to play an unconventional role again in ‘Who Lamhe’, which was filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s final goodbye to former girlfriend Parveen Babi. In the film, Kangana brilliantly portrayed the late actress’ madness and despair. In ‘Life In A Metro’, a film about big city people coping with emotional and psychological trauma, Basu presented her as a call centre executive who is in a relationship with her married boss.

With Bhandarkar’s ‘Fashion’, a dark tale about the fashion industry, she hit the bull’s eye. Her stupendous performance where she brings forth the miseries of an ex-ramp queen won her a national award. “It’s been quite a journey. I came to the industry when I was 17, with no idea of what to expect. I was fortunate that ‘Gangster’ was a huge hit. I won many awards and the industry gave me another chance. Otherwise, it’s an industry that’s very unforgiving towards

outsiders. This year I’m trying a lot of new genres and different films. It’s been a lot of hard work but also lots of fun,” says Kangna, who was last seen romancing Hrithik Roshan in ‘Kites’.

Kangana’s kitty is now full of lighthearted films like ‘Double Dhamaal’, ‘No Problem’, and ‘Tanu Weds Manu’. She is also doing ‘Rascals’, ‘Game’ and ‘Tezz’. Her next release is ‘Knock Out’ where she will share screen space with Sanjay Dutt and Irrfan Khan which is releasing October 15.

“‘Knock Out’ is different from anything I’ve done before.” she says. Directed by Mani Shankar, it is a Bollywood adaptation of the Hollywood film ‘Phone Booth’. Kangana will be seen as a scribe in the movie. “There was one point in the film where I actually got a chance to experience the urgency and intensity journalists experience every day,” she said.

Apart from acting, Kangana is also trying her hand at designing. She herself has designed her clothes for the ‘Rascals’ and ‘Tezz’. She may soon launch her clothing line. When asked whether she was looking for love, she says, “With so much work on my plate, I’m happily single for now!”

Shahid Kapoor not interested in World Tour with Priyanka

The buzz was strong that Priyanka Chopra wants Shahid Kapoor to join her for Ranbir Kapoor’s world tour that will start around mid 2011. As she is already confirmed for the event, getting Shahid for it would have meant some time together for the couple.

Since Shahid is a great stage performer because of his dancing skills, organizers did approach him for the show, but the actor can’t avail himself during that time and the reason is work. “Shahid is being repeatedly offered to be a part of the world tour with Ranbir. But due to his Mausam release and Sajid Khan’s film shoot he has declined the offer,” the actor’s spokesperson is quoted to have said.

Ranbir Kapoor’s world tour will travel to as many as sixteen nations including Europe and the Middle-East. The organizers of the show, the Moranis, also confirmed that they have approached Shahid, and are waiting for a nod from the actor.

Deepika Padukone spotted at ‘Audelade’ Jewellery

Bollywood stars these days remain as much busy in endorsing any particular brand and walking the ramp as they do shooting for a movie. And when the star is a certain Deepika Padukone, it is, but natural that brands will eager to make use of her beautiful face. Looking resplendent in a long black gown, Deepika Padukone was spotted at the J W Marriot in Mumbai, this week, for the launch of the Audelade jewellery collection.

This is the second time in the recent past that the Bollywood beauty has shown her love for jewellery. A few days back, too, Deepika Padukone was spotted walking the ramp at the India International Jewellery Week.

‘Audelade’ is a company, known for its high-end accessories, which the brand has introduced in the market. The word ‘Audelade’ stands for ‘beyond’ in French and the company representatives strive towards making products, which are beyond one’s imagination.

Though nothing could be heard from the actress herself on her choice of jewellery from the Audelade collection, the presence of other Bollywood stars, apart from Deepika Padukone, at the launch ceremony, did assure of the fact that Audelade jewellery is here to stay. Sophie Chaudhary, Simone Singh, Shibani Kashyap and Claudia Ciesla also graced the occasion.

Deepika Padukone says 2010 has been a great year..

Deepika Padukone says 2010 has been a great year for her as she had three releases and two more are in the pipeline.

“It’s been a great year for me. I already had three releases this year and two more are ready to come - ‘Break Ke Baad’ and ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’, which will release just a week apart,” Deepika told reporters.

The 24-year-old actress was seen in “Karthik Calling Karthik”, “Housefull” and “Lafangey Parindey” this year.

“The next couple of months will be exciting for me because I have never done two films that released at the same time. So in terms of promotion and just to watch the reaction of the people seeing me in two completely different looks, will be quite interesting to see,” she added.

Sonam Kapoor has become brand Ambassador for Electrolux

The association of Bollywood actors with brand endorsements are not unheard of and when a brand can rope in as sweet a face as actress Sonam Kapoor’s, the deal is worth it! Though nothing has been confirmed as of yet, it is being said that Electrolux, a popular name in the home appliances industry, is all set to sign up Sonam Kapoor as its next face. Hence Sonam Kapoor will be seen featuring in advertisements for Electrolux ranging from its refrigerators and washing machines to the microwave ovens and air conditioners.

Sonam Kapoor shot to fame with her debut performance in “Saawariya”, which in spite of being a failure at the box office, was enough to give Sonam a foothold in Bollywood. The very sweet and chirpy daughter of Anil Kapoor followed up her “Saawariya” act with films like “Delhi 6”, “I Hate Luv Storys” and the recently released “Aisha”. While her acting career has shown a steady progress, Sonam Kapoor has established a reputation in Bollywood as the most stylish actress of recent times. And according to critics, it is this quality of Sonam that makes her a popular choice for different advertising campaigns.

We are sure that people will like to see more of the fashion diva on the small screen. Official statements from Electrolux about Sonam Kapoor being their brand ambassador for a diverse range of appliances have not yet come but we are keeping our fingers crossed!
