Bollywood Gossips - Riya's rumoured link-ups

Riya Sen
Bollywood actress Riya Sen is waiting for her name to be included in the record books not for her work but the way her name is being allegedly involved with Bollywood actors.

"It's not very surprising if in sometime my name will feature in record books for my alleged romantic relations with my co-actors. Everyday there is a rumour of a new affair. If I get into one love relation, people make it 10. I don't know how to convince people that I don't change boyfriends everyday."

Riya says that her alleged romantic involvement with Asmit Patel, Vivek Oberoi, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Khanna, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan and couple of other actors have now become a thing of past.

"I don't say that I was never involved with anyone ever. But I haven't had an affair with all of them. Most of them were just rumours. In coming days I am looking forward to be rumoured to involve with more new names. So, nowadays I have stopped denying or countering these rumours. If people come and ask me that whether I am going around with an actor I confirm it rather than dismiss it. I know even if I deny people will write what they want to write so there is no point trying to convince," she said.

She further says: "I know one rumour will not last for more than a month or so. So why bother about them? Let people involve me with whosoever they want. It won't bother me now. On the contrary I will enjoy it. In fact nowadays I tell people openly that I am married and have kids also. I am giving them more fodder so that they can write whichever way they like."

Asked who are the actors she has been really involved with she says, "I don't see any reason to disclose my previous affairs. Neither I personally like to talk about my present affair. But when people write things without any facts I don't like to deny also, for the reasons I have just told you. So, if I am allegedly involved with all the actors, directors and people of film industry I don't mind. It will bring me to a record book for allegedly having affair with all the stars."

Mira Nair to push Tabu's name for Oscars?
Tuesday, September 25, 2007
Indo Asian News Service

New York-based Indian filmmaker Mira Nair likely to push Tabu's name for an Oscar nomination this year. The talented actress played the central role in her film The Namesake.

'She is definitely going to project Tabu as a potential best actress at the Oscars. Though Irrfan Khan is as good, if not better, the focus of Nair's Oscar campaign for her masterly study of the Indian diaspora is likely to be predominantly Tabu,' said a source close to the project.

'Irrfan is excellent. But he lacks what the Americans are looking for in their Oscars recipe. Tabu is exotic, glamorous and mysterious. This is her first real exposure to the Western audience. And they're lapping up her Bengali act, thick accent and all. On top of that she's also wowing the westerners with her performance in Cheeni Kum,' added the source.

Will Tabu be the first Indian actor to win an Oscar?

'Why not?' says Mira's creative compatriot Deepa Mehta. 'She's amazingly good, on a par with any of her Western counterparts,' said Mehta who six years ago offered Tabu the lead in 'Water'. The deal fell apart.

A lot of global cineastes are positive about Tabu's chances. However, Tabu herself remains supremely indifferent to recognition at home or abroad.
