Bollywood Gossip : The second season of TV reality show Bigg Boss will have controversy galore. With politicians Rahul Mahajan and Sanjay Nirupam, notorious British reality TV star Jade Goody and gangster Abu Salem's companion Monica Bedi among many others, the show will make for exciting viewing over the next three months.

Fourteen contestants including television actors Ketki Dave and Rakhi Vijayan, item girl Sambhavna Seth, actors Payal Rohatgi and Monica Bedi, non-celebrity Elina apart from Jade Goody are part of the female inmates of the Bigg Boss house.

Among the men are model-actor Zulfi Syed, music reality show winner Debojit Saha, MTV Roadies 5.0 winner Ashutosh Kaushik, TV actress Shweta Tiwari's estranged husband Raja Chaudhry, Congress member Sanjay Nirupam, Rahul Mahajan - son of late Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pramod Mahajan and famous comedian Ehsaan Qureshi.

While all of them will be closeted in a specially designed house for three months under 24-hour surveillance, with no access to telephones or television, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, who had won the international format of the show Celebrity Big Brother in 2007, will be hosting the show.

Shilpa had emerged winner despite racist remarks in Celebrity Big Brother by Goody, who has now come to India to "change people's perception" about her.

Also, Payal Rohatgi's reported closeness with Rahul Mahajan was also earlier this month, an alleged reason for his break-up with his wife Shweta.

Shilpa herself will appear only in the elimination episodes each Friday, communicating with the contestants through a TV screen. Each week, one contestant will be voted out.

Bollywood Gossip (Mumbai): The second season of reality show "Big Boss" is all set to hit television screens Aug 17 and will be hosted by Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty on entertainment channel Colors.

It would be the first reality show to be telecast on all seven days of the week, Rajesh Kamat, CEO of Colors, said a press conference here announcing the programme's launch date.

The Indian version of the popular British reality show "Big Brother", "Big Boss" will see 14 people, including celebrities, locked into a house under the surveillance of over 30 cameras for a period of three months. These housemates will have no contact with the outside world.

Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty, who won "Big Brother" last year, was almost a natural choice to host the second season of the Indian version. And she had a word of advise to those participating in the show.

"The winner needs to just be oneself ... that's the main mantra," Shilpa said.

The actress also emphathised with the participants as she had been through the situation herself.

"I'll try to give them a little respite as I know that they will be going through a tough time. I remember what it was to live with strangers in a house cut off from the outside world with nobody to trust and vouch for," she said.

Asvini Yardi, programming head of Colors, said Shilpa would be more like a mentor for the participants as she has gone through a similar experience.

CEO Kamat refused to divulge the names of the participants and said they would be revealed only on Aug 17 - the first episode.

He said that the second season would see many additions to the first one.

"For the fist time we have included newsmakers as well as common people on the show. Besides, we are also introducing a half-an-hour live and unedited slot everyday starting second week that will be aired at 12.30 a.m."

While there won't be any privacy, the house located on the outskirts of Mumbai would have no phones, television, internet, books or even a clock.

The 14 participants competing for a prize money of Rs.7.5 million will be allowed to bring only essential items to the house and they would have to cook and clean the place themselves.

Participants are voted out by housemates and the audiences periodically. The first season of "Bigg Boss" was aired in 2006 on Sony Television.

Bollywood Gossip : Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty says she has turned down a lot of international projects as she wants to focus more on Hindi films.
I refused Hollywood to do Bollywood: Shilpa Shetty
"I have left a lot of international projects to come back to Hindi films. Someone told me I was already out of sight and I did not want to be out of mind too. I want a good end product - a good Hindi film made in India," said Shilpa on the sidelines of an event.

Shilpa also said she has not completely dropped the idea of working in the West.

"If the prospects are lucrative enough in the West, I'll definitely go there. I have an international project, but it is still in the process of scripting," informed the actress.

Recollecting her win on Britain's reality show 'Celebrity Big Brother', she said: "I think 'Big Brother' has been a boon in disguise for not only me but many Asians living abroad. I'm happy with whatever happened on the show. At least, it has changed the perception for Indians living abroad."

Shilpa refrained from making any comments on the rumours of her hosting the second season of 'Big Boss', the Indian version of British 'Big Brother'.

"When any such thing happens, the media will be informed."

Shilpa's next project includes 'The Man' with Sunny Deol in which she would be seen playing the violin for the first time on-screen. Shilpa, who took violin lessons for her role, quipped: "Violin is the single most difficult instrument to play. I am still nursing a bad neck and I do 'bhujangasan' (yoga) everyday to get rid of the pain."

Apart from working in films, she will concentrate on her company S2 Global Productions. She has roped in Manish Jha of 'Matrubhoomi' fame to direct her first home production.

She will also be seen sharing the stage with the Bachchan's at their ongoing 'Unforgettable' tour in London Aug 23-24 at the prestigious 02 Arena, earlier known as the Millennium Dome.

Bollywood Gossip : Actress-cum-yoga guru Shilpa Shetty is now learning to play the violin for her role in Sunny Deol's The Man

"I have to play the violin in The Man and to make it look real, I am taking lessons. Trust me, it is very difficult to play the violin. I am having a tough time. My instructor tells me that it is the most difficult instrument to play and he is quite right," said Shilpa in a press statement.

Although Shilpa is finding her lessons tough, her instructor Sandeep, who is based in Goa, says he is impressed with her sincerity.

"Every evening after pack up, Shilpa takes two hour lessons to play the violin. She is shaping up to be a very dedicated student," he stated.

In The Man, Shilpa Shetty is portraying a girl who rises to instant global stardom - very similar to her real life experience.

"Her character has an interesting side to it - she is a violin expert just like pop sensation Vanessa Mae. Her violin playing portions in the film have been styled just like a Vanessa Mae video. Since Shilpa wanted to lend authenticity to her character, she decided to learn to play the violin," a source close to the actress stated.

The actress was last seen in Life... In a Metro.

Bollywood Gossips : Well, first it was Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, who is believed to have done a really sizzling hot number in Dharma Productions' Dostana being directed by Tarun Mansukhani. And now it's Bollywood actor John Abraham's turn.

No, John is not doing an item number. But he will be flaunting his six packs in Dostana. This is something which will cheer the hearts of his female fans. Apparently the actor will go bare chested for a sequence in the film.

Of course, this is not the first time that he has done so. Even in films like Jism and the more recent No Smoking, the brawny actor was seen bare chested. It seems that producer Karan Johar is not leaving anything to chance in his home production. He has left no stone unturned to ensure that the film grabs attention.

Besides boasting of a cast consisting of Bollywood a John, Priyanka Chopra and Abhishek Bachchan, he went ahead and roped in Shilpa Shetty for an item number. And that's not all. He is also believed to have roped in actor Bobby Deol to do a special number. He sure does believe in the more the merrier.

Bollywood Gossip : After hitting the headlines for the US based reality show Big Brother and Gere’s packs of kisses on her cheeks on AIDS campaign infront of the news media, the long-legged Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is again in news for her bikini shot. Thats's Right!!


Shilpa has spent 15 years in Bollywood but unfortunately she had few good films to her credit. When Karan Johar approached her for Dostana, she readily accepted the offer and even agreed to wear bikini for an item song.

Karan Johar first approached Priyanka Chopra and asked her to tone her body to look perfect in bikini; however she declined to shoot a song in a two-piece. Later, he laid down on Shilpa. It’s a dream come true for her to work in Karan’s film. She will groove in an item number opposite John and Abhishek in bikini to be shot in America's famous Miami Beach. The item number is going to be too hot that would not only shake UP, Bihar but the entire world :)

Bollywood Movie "Dostana" is expected to be a remake of 80s classic which starred Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha and Zeenat Aman in the lead role. The new Dostana will star Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra. Karan had approached Aishwarya to play the leading lady opposite Abhishek and John but the plot did not sound thrilling to Ash [Aishwarya Rai] and she turned it down.

A yoga camp in Mumbai saw Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty learning a few yogic asanas (postures) from the popular yoga guru, Baba Ramdev.

Baba Ramdev organized the yoga camp on Wednesday in which thousands of people including Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty participated.

Apart from helping one lose weight, yoga has also been known to benefit one in various aliments like blood pressure, arthritis, regulating blood sugar and even in heart ailments.

Shilpa, a self-confessed fitness freak said, she had been performing yoga for long but was quite oblivious to the numerous benefits it offered.


"I started performing yoga because I’m suffering from cervical spondylosis which I developed during weight training. I’ve been doing yoga from a long time but I didn’t know that benefits of yoga were so vast," said Shilpa.

After the yoga session, Shilpa Shetty presented Ramdev with one of her fitness DVDs called `Shilpa’s Yoga`, which has already created waves in the United Kingdom.

'When are you getting married,' was Ramdev's first question to Shilpa when she met the Yog Guru at his camp.

'As soon as she gets a suitable match', Shilpa replied promptly.

Shilpa, a self-confessed fitness freak said, she had been performing yoga for long but was quite oblivious to the numerous benefits it offered.

Ramdev has popularized yoga across the world with claims of the ancient knowledge curing illnesses ranging from cancer to AIDS through breathing exercises and traditional medicines.

To promote her West End musical Miss Bollywood, Shilpa Shetty donned a glittering pink and silver Bollywood-inspired costume, complete with a crystal-encrusted headdress, for a press meet in London this week, leaving the British media awestruck.

Shilpa continues to dazzle her British fans with her musical (she loves to call it 'dancical'), performing in various cities of the United Kingdom. She is glad to have been given this platform to showcase Bollywood in the right way. It has also been a real learning curve for her. The musical is not only running to packed houses, but getting her standing ovations almost every second evening. After her UK tour, Shilpa is scheduled to perform in Belgium and Netherlands, only to return to Britain for a majestic showing of 'Miss Bollywood' on December 12 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

It can be mentioned here that last month, the musical rocked Germany for three weeks and her tour across the country got her a lot of accolades and critical acclaim. Set against the backdrop of London as it prepares for the 2012 Olympics, Miss Bollywood combines traditional Indian music with riveting dance sequences that could be entered in the Olympics themselves. It showcases an amalgamation of dance forms taken from the east and west of India, with Shilpa re-capturing on stage some of Bollywood's greatest hits over the past 40 years.

Sounds like a good joke. However, our sources confirm that Bollywood Actors Vivek Oberoi and Abhishek Bachchan would be sharing the screen pace with each other in the Apoorva Lakhia's movie "Mission Istanbul".

This Bollywood movie would be produced by Sunil Shetty and he says that he doesnt have any problem to feature both the actors at the very single screen.

"Why should they have any problems? Abhishek is a thorough professional actor. He has not problem working with anyone. And werent they both part of "Shootout At Lokhandwala" ? Yes,they do have scenes together in "Mission Istanbul". And I'm sure they will do them splendidly. Its a very unfair to bring in personal matters and question professionalism. Neither Abhishek Bachchan and Vivek have expressed any misgivings about working together," Shetty said.

Shetty, currently shooting for his TV show ‘Biggest Loser’, confirms the vast star cast of his forthcoming venture.

“We’ve already confirmed Bobby Deol, Vivek, Abhishek, Shabbir Ahluwaliah. Tusshar Kapoor has problems with the combined dates required with the other actors. The problem is now being worked out,” he said.

The leading ladies are also being finalized. “They’re integral to the action. I need ladies who can kick ass as effectively as the boys,” says Shetty.

Elaborating on the preparations for the film, Shetty said: “‘Mission Istanbul’ is being made on an international scale. The theme requires an international vision. My director is browsing for F-X teams from abroad. It will be top-of-the-line technicians. They’re a step ahead not because they’re more talented but because they’re more professional.”

“We can no longer get away with sub-standard spectacles. Guys who shot ‘Dhoom’ or the forthcoming ‘Cash’ have brought an unparalleled expertise to our cinema. In both forthcoming projects ‘Mission Istanbul’ and ‘Raaste’ with Abhishek, Aishwarya, John and Sikandar Kher, I’m getting top notch technicians associated with the best of Hollywood cinema. We’re spending Rs.250 million on ‘Mission Istanbul’ and ready to spend more. I trust my director Apoorva Lakhia completely,” he said.
