Bollywood Gossip - Katrina laughs off marriage plans
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
Bollywood Gossip : "I will marry next year," that's what the bad boy of Bollywood has been telling eveyone who keep asking him questions about his impending marriage with Katrina Kaif.

“I am so bored with this question which I have been asked so many times,” he says. “Every year I say ‘Next Year’ and this goes on.’”

However this year he sounds serious with his plans. Talking to a leading tabloid Sallu again replied, "I’m settling down in 2009 and would like to become a father immediately. "

According to sources, Salman has also popped 'the question' from several quarters: from the media to guests on his show 10 Ka Dum. Akshay made it a point to ask Sallu when he was planning to marry Kat, when he appeared on Khan's show with the actress.

But Katrina who has tasted success at the box-office recently is not as ecstatic.

She laughs off any talks of marriage. The actress says, "I think Salman said whatever he wanted to say. Let people make of it whatever they want. I have never commented on the personal side in the media. I don't wish to start right now."

Bollywood News - Himesh records his career's 75th song
Bollywood News : Composer-singer-actor Himesh Reshammiya, who debuted as a crooner with 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' in 2005, has recorded 75 songs in just a record time.

"I've already released 50 songs. I intend to use the 25 songs I've in my music bank for the four films 'Karzzzz', 'Kajraare', 'A Love Iiisshtory' and 'Mudh Mudh Ke Na Dekh' that I'm starring in," he said.

In his forthcoming films he wants to introduce at least one new singer. Reshammiya feels he owes it to the industry.

"I think I must give new talent to the music industry because even I was a newcomer once. And fresh, untried talent always works since my music usually caters to younger audiences. They are always on the look out for fresh unconventional voices."

For 'Mudh Mudh Ke Na Dekh', which is a love triangle, Reshammiya intends to introduce new singing talent for the two leading ladies, Niharika Singh and Jennifer Kotwal.

"I came across some mind blowing female voices while I was judging 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa'. I'll be using these for 'Mudh Mudh Ke Na Dekh'."

Reshammiya intends to introduce four new singers in these four films

Bollywood Gossip-Shahid pays tribute to Aamir ?
Wednesday, February 6, 2008
Is that a Bollywood News, Gossip or Scoop ??

Seems like Bollywood Actor Shahid Kapur / Kapoor pays tribute to his favourite actor Aamir Khan by playing a teacher who helps a group of troubled young students in his new movie Paathshaala.

The similarities between Bollywood film Taare Zameen Par and this film are striking.

Choreographer-turned-producer and Shahid's close friend Ahmed Khan doesn't deny the fact that Taare Zameen Par has made a huge difference to the way we look at movie entertainment and at the parent-child relationship.

'I would happily admit that Paathshaala is inspired by Taare Zameen Par, except for the fact that 'Paathshala' was conceived and written a year ago. It's about a sensitive teacher's interaction with a group of kids,' said Ahmed.

'I've signed some really talented kids like Sweeney Khare from Bollywood movies Cheeni Kum, Ali Haji from Fanaa and Dwij Yadav from Nanhe Jaisalmer. We're really fortunate to suddenly have so many talented kids in our cinema. So why not put them to creative use? It's about time we addressed issues regarding children in a serious but entertaining way,' said Ahmed.

Interestingly, Ahmed has selected some of the most extraordinary child actors to come into the film industry in the last couple of years.

'And on top of that, let's not forget I was once a child actor myself,' laughed Ahmed who played a child in Mr India.

'Shahid too was a child actor. So we're all putting our minds into making a film about the mind of a child and the child within the man.'

Ahmed has directed two films, Lakeer and Fool N Final. However, Bollywood film Paathshala is being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali's assistant Milind Ukey.

About Fool N Final, Ahmed said: 'Please don't blame me. Blame the producer. For the first time in Paathshaala, I'm doing a film straight from my heart.'

The set representing the school where 'teacher' Bollywood Actor Shahid does an Aamir has been erected in Film City.

'We even have a basketball court as part of the school set,' said Ahmed proudly.

Bollywood Gossips-Salman's too expensive
A buzz was doing the round that Salman Khan had charged producer Vivek Galani a whooping sum of Rs 35 crore for Veer! Well, to give you a background, Veer is director Anil Sharma's (of Apne fame) next venture and will be written by none other than Sallu boy himself.

Now considering he is acting as well as writing, the sum isn't unthinkable. And the same bee that buzzed about Salman's amount buzzed noisily that Anil himself has charged Rs 7 crore. This would mean that the producers would be spending 42 crore on just Salman and Sharma!

But on asking, Sharma gets defensive, "Not at all. Our scripting has just been finished. Salman and I have worked day and night in getting it perfect. But it's way too early to discuss the final figures yet," he said. Yet, it's tough to believe that. Salman being Salman would not write an entire script without

having the figures known, if not cleared. We probed more. "See Salman has become very attached to the story and is personally involved in everything about the film. He would not possibly charge such a massive amount. He can't be so impractical," he retorted.

Anil gushed further saying, " The way he has visualised the story is brilliant. His seniority and experience shines through. I am very confident that the film will do well!" Well, we wish so too. Amen.

Health Minister asks SRK, AB to stop smoking
Monday, January 28, 2008
Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss has appealed to Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan to stop smoking in movies as millions of youngsters emulate them and imbibe the bad habit.

"I have already made appeals to Shah Rukh Khan," Ramadoss said in Karan Thapar's "Devil's Advocate" programme being aired on a news channel.

"But I would be happy to do it again and say, 'Please don't smoke in your movies, Mr. Shah Rukh Khan'. I would like to make an appeal to Mr. Shah Rukh Khan and Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and all the other personalities.

"Fourteen-year-olds are taking to tobacco. India should be very, very concerned about the alarming rise of incidence of tobacco (use) amongst young people," the minister emphasised.

Criticising movies with smoking scenes, the minister said: "The movies are most responsible (for encouraging smoking). When I said movies should not have smoking scenes, we have statistics which show that 52 percent of children have their first puff of a cigarette because of movie celebrities."

When asked about Shah Rukh smoking during a recent cricket match, Ramadoss said the actor should not have done it.

"Absolutely not. What was the necessity? See these are celebrities and millions of youngsters look up to these celebrities...I again say to celebrities, in whichever field they are, whether it's movies or sports, not to do these things in public."

Responding to a question if Shah Rukh and Amitabh could stop smoking like Tamil superstar Rajnikant, the minister said: "Easily, they could do it. Without a doubt."

Karan Johar wants to be a father after watching 'Taare…'
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Film-maker Karan Johar was so touched by the story of a dyslexic child in Aamir Khan's directorial debut 'Taare Zamen Par' that he now wants to be a father.

Karan admitted 'Taare Zamen Par' was one of the most "emotive experiences" of his movie-going life.

Talking about his experience, Karan told us: "I couldn't move from my seat for 10 minutes after the show. I just sobbed like a baby. I was so moved by the story of the parents discovering the core of their child's spirit that I now want to be a parent.

"I'm neither married nor have I ever intended to be a father in real life. But after watching 'Taare Zamen Par' I truly want to a father, to connect with a child on a level that only a parent can understand."

An ardent friend and fan of Shah Rukh Khan, Karan is fulsome in his praise for the other Khan superstar.

"After seeing the film with a regular ticket-paying audience, I called up Aamir and told him that sincerity of vision was part of his DNA. He just can't help being the creator and the artiste that he is.

"It's hard to believe 'Taare Zamen Par' is his first film as a director. Look at the performance he has got out of the child actor Darsheel Safary."

Sighs Karan: "'Taare Zameen Par' is a landmark film. It is definitely one of the best films I've seen in recent times."

Rakhi dropped from Ekta's awards function
After the brouhaha Rakhi Sawant created about the alleged rigging of results on STAR Plus' dance show Nach Baliye 3 and her questioning the 'role' of Ekta Kapoor and Balaji Telefilms in the final result, Balaji has decided to drop Rakhi from their first awards function on Jan 25 that is likely to be held at Dubai.

When asked, Ekta told IANS: 'I wouldn't really know the details of the show since they are being handled by Bunty Wallia and the Moranis. But yes, if my company has taken a policy decision, I am with them.'

'Rakhi was being offered a place in our first awards function. No, she wasn't going to dance but she was going to host one segment of the show. But after she has been making wild and totally unfounded allegations against Ekta, accusing her of favouring Aamir and Sanjida, Balaji has decided to drop Rakhi from their awards function,' said a Balaji source.

Ekta's awards function is likely to be held in Dubai. According to sources, Shah Rukh Khan has finally said yes to a performance at what promises to be one of the biggest live events.

Shah Rukh will be accompanied by none other than the Balaji breakaway bahu Smriti Irani.

'The idea is to set aside all rancour, to disprove stories about the ill-will generated by our actors who move out of Balaji. So it isn't just Smriti who's being invited to perform, we're also asking Iqbal Khan and Rajiv Khandelwal to join us on Jan 25,' said the source.

While the Moranis will be organising Shah Rukh's performance, the rest of the event will be handled by Bunty Walia's company.

"Instead of Nandana, Jimmy didn't want to kiss" - Anand Rai
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
Debutant director Anand Rai whose thriller Strangers releases this Friday, has an interesting story to tell. "The script required a kissing scene. I nervously approached my leading lady Nandana Sen and spent some time convincing her. She eventually agreed. How was I to know the objection would come from the other party?"

The film's leading man Jimmy Shergill refused to smooch Nandana. "He was adamant. He said he wouldn't have done the film if he knew about the kiss. I had no option but to drop it." Anand is all praise for his cast. "Jimmy is among our most underrated actors. For the other leading man's role I needed a man of a few words. K .K Menon fitted the bill. As for the girl, I needed someone who would look convincing as a girl who has spent all her life in London. Nandana Sen was perfect."

Rai is quite bewildered by reports that Strangers is based in Alfred Hitcock's Strangers On A Train. "I really don't know where that came from. Yes, the film does have Strangers as its title and there's a train running through the plot. But beyond this, my film is as close to Hitchcock as Jimmy Shergill is to Jimmy Mistry. Mine is an original story," the debutant director brags.

Oh yeah? We shall see. Anand shot the film entirely in London. "And not as touristic city. I've gone into lanes and bylanes of London. And unlike other films shot abroad I've even shot the interiors in London." Yes, but Anand couldn't get Jimmy Sheirgil to kiss.

Saif has to wait for marriage : Kareena
Latest Bollywood Gossip - Kareena Kapoor says she keeps her work and love life separate.

Kapoor said in an interview published that work was her focus right now and marriage to her boyfriend and well-known actor Saif Ali Khan was a long way off.

"They are two different compartments,'' she said.

She has dreamed of marriage and children like most women, but said: "At this point I am too young to think about it. We will take each year as it comes, not each day as it comes.''

Kareena recently ended a three-year romance with Shahid Kapur , with whom she starred in the hit love story Jab We Met.

Kapoor also won praise from critics last year for "Omkara,'' a Bollywood adaptation of Shakespeare's "Othello.''

Kapoor said Khan was very supportive since he too worked hard to succeed in India's movie industry.

"I am highly ambitious. My strength, my confidence and everything else stems from my ability to work hard in my career which is the pivotal point of my life,'' she said. "It's beyond everything.''

Bollywood Gossip - Harman wants Deepika's attention
Deepika Padukone

Men can't get enough of Deepika Padukone. The ethereal beauty, who has ace cricketer and India's heartthrob Mahendra Singh Dhoni at her feet, recently irked Priyanka Chopra when beau Harman Baweja made a beeline for Deepika at an Om Shanti Om bash.

Harman pulled Deepika onto the dance floor even though he had arrived at the party with his ex-Miss World girlfriend. And while he scorched the dance floor with Deepika, Priyanka fumed in a corner.

Understandably so, since Deepika was getting attention from almost every man at the party. Things haven't been going all that great for Priyanka and Harman anyway. This just might be the final nail in the coffin of their relationship.

Meanwhile, even as Dhoni is trying hard to impress Deepika, it might be Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar who will romance the actress. Before Dhoni brings his bat out to hit Shoaib, let us tell him it's only for the Pakistani cricketer's Bollywood debut. Deepika's driving men batty.

We are having sleepless nights!
Monday, November 5, 2007
The first Indian film produced by a Hollywood studio - Columbia pictures - 'Saawariya' is all set for some stiff competition from another mega-star mega-budget Indian film - 'Om Shanti Om', when both films hit the theaters November 9.

While the 'OSO' produced by the Baadshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan has, besides him, a galaxy of stars promoting the film, its fallen upon the two new kids on the block - Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor - to promote their film 'Saawariya'.

So even when they visited the city to promote their film, the two debutantes were facing the media queries on their own.

Ranbir Kapoor - son of Rishi and Neetu Kapoor and fourth generation kid of the famous Kapoor gharana -understands and acknowledges the possible threats to his maiden film at the BO.

"It's unfortunate that both the movies are releasing on the same day. It does affect business. But it's festive season and I am sure it can hold two films. The entire team of 'Saawariya' wishes 'OSO' all the best and I am sure they wish well for us too," says Ranbir.

But he accepts being nervous, though seems all committed to shoulder the responsibility to publicise his film.

"Honestly, this being Sonam's and my first film that itself giving us sleepless nights. I don't think of it coming with Shah Rukh Khan.

He is too big a star. He's been in the industry for such a long time. We can't even think of going head to head with him," he says.

But he further adds, "He's the biggest actor in the country, but we have the biggest director in the country - Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is the USP of the film."

Ranbir and Sonam both admit that, being a starkids it was easier for them to get a start in the industry, but says that their lineage will lead to unnecessary scrutiny and criticism as well.

"I wouldn't have met Sanjay Leela Bhansali if I wasn't Anil Kapoor's daughter. But at the same time, I'll have expectations, a baggage put on me. I'll be compared to my father all the time," confesses Sonam.

Ranbir seconds her by saying, "I completely agree with Sonam. The comparisons are made, the expectations are too much

You are under like a microscope because they are going to compare everything right from your hair strand to your nail. You can't escape that."

She, however, adds, "But interestingly, right now top stars not star kids. SRK, Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra none of them has a lineage except Abhishek Bachchan."

Ranbir quickly adds, "But don't take away our hard work. We also work really hard to live up to expectations. Because you come from so and so family and comparison are gonna be made, so its really hard to make a niche for your self."

Sonam pitches in, "At the end, it what the audience want and what they like. Who they accept and who they don't. So it all up to the audience, your destiny and your hard work."

The film also stars, established names like Salman Khan and Rani Mukerji. Ranbir maintains he's thankful to them for their contribution to the film.

"Though I have no scene with Salman, but I learned so much while sharing screen space with Rani. Rani is such a fabulous actor," he says.

Dont smoke in public Shahrukh !
Monday, October 29, 2007
A legal notice was issued by an NGO - National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication for smoking in public against Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan during two recent events.

Shahrukh Khan has been found smoking at two public places i.e., the Twenty20 cricket match in Mumbai and Hindustan Times Summit in Delhi.

"Images of Shahrukh Khan inhaling smoke were shown on Doordarshan channel during the telecast of the Twenty20 cricket match in Mumbai on October 20. The national television channel's telecast of such outrageous images is another act worth condemnation," general secretary Dr. Shekhar Salkar said.

Priof to this incident, Shahrukh was shown with a lighted cigartte in his hand while sitting on the dias during the Hindustan Times summit in Delhi on October 12 and 13.

"A superstar, imitated and adored by millions cannot lend a helping hand to promote smoking," Salkar added.

Tearful Meghalaya still calls Amit Indian Idol
Monday, September 24, 2007
Shillong, September 24: The hills of Meghalaya were on song until Sunday midnight, but it all went out of tune when local singing sensation Amit Paul was edged out by Darjeeling cop Prashant Tamang in the hugely popular television contest Indian Idol.

Thousands of people had been singing and dancing to the accompaniment of drums and guitars in the streets of Shillong and most parts of Meghalaya since dusk Sunday, eagerly waiting for Amit to win the Indian Idol title.

But when Bollywood macho star John Abraham raised the hand of Prashant declaring him the Indian Idol - based on 70 million votes received on SMS or over the phone lines - the music was abruptly stilled.

The Meghalaya fans rallied fast, however.

'We are really taken aback by the result, but for us Amit is the winner, having won the hearts of millions of fans and more importantly, uniting the ethnically polarized northeast through music,' John F. Kharshiing, spokesperson of the Federation of Khasi States, the apex body campaigning for legal status for the durbars in Meghalaya, told.

It was pure hysteria in the whole of Meghalaya in the run-up to the grand finale Sunday night telecast on Sony TV with Amit and Prashant vying for the coveted crown.


'Let's accept the reality, don't cry for me. I am soon coming back to Shillong. I really thank and love you all from the bottom of my heart for supporting me throughout my musical journey on Indian Idol,' Amit told by telephone from New Delhi, the venue of the finals.

But people back home were in tears - hundreds of people, both young and old who remained awake to celebrate a possible victory broke down, some of them even wailing, unable to accept the verdict.

'For us Amit is the new role model, some sort of a youth icon for generation next to emulate that music is one medium that unites the hearts cutting across cultural and ethnic barriers,' Meghalaya Education Minister R.G. Lyngdoh said.

Amit, 24, is a Bengali-speaking youth born and brought up in Shillong - a city that was witness to a string of bloody ethnic riots in the mid-80s between tribals and non-tribals. The growing schism in the northeast between the indigenous population and 'outsiders', a term broadly used for people speaking other Indian languages, has become a matter of concern.

In this context, the euphoria and the support from people across the northeast for Amit is heartening.

'We have conferred him the honorary title of Meghalaya's Brand Ambassador to foster peace, communal harmony, and excellence,' Meghalaya Chief Minister D.D. Lapang said.

Lapang personally spearheaded the campaign to drum up support for Amit.

From government offices to the tribal king's durbars, the chief minister's secretariat to the Raj Bhawan, and schools and colleges - the only topic of discussion in the past few weeks in the northeastern state of Meghalaya was the Indian Idol contest.

'The Amit phenomenon could very well unite the northeast, especially in states like Nagaland and Manipur where the ethnic divide is so huge. We want more such talents from the region to come up so that we can stand united without any bloodshed,' said Kishore Singh, a young college student in Manipur's capital Imphal.

'The topic of discussion for the next few days would surely be Amit. Maybe Prashant got lot of votes from Nepal because he is a Nepali boy. Maybe Nepal came in the way of Amit's victory,' said a dejected Paul Marbaniang, a college student.

Will these celeb couple tie the knot?
Kareena and Shahid:


Kareena Kapoor is number 3 and Shahid Kapur is number 7. This relationship is an extremely volatile one. But the attractions are extremely strong. In the relationship of 3 and 7, the bondings are very strong but a small spark of misunderstanding can ruin it totally. Kareena Kapoor may take an abrupt desicion to get married. The problem is not marriage, but what will happen after marriage, because Shahid Kapoor may be a different person from what he is now and there are chances of problems to creep up.

Celebrity couples - will they tie the knot?
John Abraham and Bipasha Basu:



Bipasha Basu is number 7 and John Abraham is number 8. 7 and 8 make it as very good friends. But this year, 2007, is a tough year for both of them. The possibilities of the relationship getting over are extremely strong. It may have a bad impact on John’s career. Whatever has happened to John’s career may have happened due to Bipasha’s luck and once the lady luck will be gone, John may also start losing all his stardom.

Celebrity couples - will they tie the knot?
Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia:



Preity Zinta is number 4 and Ness Wadia is number 3. This relationship is not a strong one. This is because both of them will have different views. They will get along as friends but their thoughts will not match. The biggest problem is that Ness Wadia’s name comes to number 29 which means that you can be ditched by your closest friends or associates or lover at any moment. Therefore chances of Preity Zinta calling off the realationship without any reason are very strong.

Celebrity couples - will they tie the knot?
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif:



Salman Khan is number 9 and Katrina Kaif is number 7. This is a good combination. But Salman Khan is presently going through a bad phase in life. After the flop of 'Salaam-E-Ishq,' there may be one more huge flop this year. If he continues his relationship with Katrina Kaif till the end of the year then he will decide to get married to her next year and he will have many super hit films next year.

I am the right choice, Kareena tells SRK
Thursday, September 20, 2007
Kareena Kapoor is one persistent girl. She is very eager to be part of Shankar's Robot which has Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. Kareena is believed to be so eager to be part of the film that she apparently visited SRK at his house to convince him that she was right for the role.


Kareena is known to go to great lengths to prepare for her roles. Since she wants to bag this plum role opposite SRK so badly, it is but obvious that she would go the whole hog to ensure that she gets it. She has always admitted openly that she is an ardent SRK fan.

After Asoka, she has not got a chance to act opposite him in a film. The two were in Karan Johar's Kabhie Khushie, Kabhie Gham, but not opposite each other. Since then, she has been wanting to work with SRK. And Shankar's Robot seemed just the right project for her to work with SRK.

So Kareena visited SRK's home in Bandra, and in the presence of Gauri Khan, is believed to have pitched for herself to play the heroine in Robot. Incidentally, Robot was first planned with Kamal Hassan in the lead by Shankar. However, the role finally went to Shah Rukh. Though Shankar is silent about it, the film is believed to be a science fiction. It is futuristic, says sources.
