This was surely a festival of 'thinking men'. Aamir Khan was the flavour of the day at the Jaipur Literary Festival on Saturday. The Taare Zameen Par star spoke about his films , the creative process and how he is willing to take risks and deliver with perfection.

"People all over the world will acknowledge India as a cinematic destination. We have the potential to entertain the whole world. We can be the numero uno but I do not want others to be left behind", he said to the crowd.

"Through Taare Zameen Par, I have tried to say that when we imbue children with a competitive feeling, then they tend to lose sensitivity. Being ahead in the rat race at all costs makes them apathetic towards those who are less privileged", he added.

Speaking mostly in Hindi, he also said that he would like to share his experiences of learning the art of film-making as a teacher, in the future.

Did you know that the gangster Abu Salem, now undergoing imprisonment in an Uttar Pradesh jail, has confessed that he was smitten by actress Sushmita Sen the very moment he saw her in Dubai in 1995?

The story goes back to 1994 when Abu Salem was organizing shows in Dubai where Bollywood stars were regular performers.

It is during one of these shows, that he met the former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen in 1995. It was a time when Sushmita had just entered the film industry and was introduced to the gangster by her friend Amir Shaikh from Bahrain. And Salem was charmed by the actress.

The two first met in person in a restaurant Wadi Kabir in Muscat in 1999 for a show there and again in Chicago after Abu Salem moved to the US in 2000.

However, the gangster’s first wife Samira Jumani did not like of his association with Sushmita and they often quarreled over his relation with the actress. However, he clarified that he did not have an affair with the actress.


While this has been confirmed from the intelligence records of the Mumbai Police Crime Branch, the police have said that the actress had no connection whatsoever with the gangster’s business.

However, Abu Salem has told the police that he has high regards for Sushmita Sen. The two met several times at different places and on different occasions between 1999 and 2000, but the actress refuses to tell anything on this.

If the rumors in the industry circles are to be believed, despite here resounding success during 2007, especially ‘Jab We Met’, and hiked performance price, Kareena Kapoor has been dropped from director Imtiaz Ali’s next film.

Rejecting Kareena for a role in his film, Imtiyaz Ali has chosen the currently hot Bollywood glamour girl Deepika Padukone for the film.

Worse still, in a recent interview, director Imtiyz Ali has told a magazine that he had taken Kareena Kapoor for ‘Jab We Met’ even without liking the actress’ acting qualities and he stressed that Kareena is not a good actress at all.

Incidentally, Imtiaz Ali, who was the director of ‘Jab We Met’, has even ignored the recommendations of Saif Ali Khan the hero of his next untitled film, and rejected his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor to opt for Deepika Padukone.


More interestingly, Saif Ali Khan is not only the hero of the film, but it is going to be Saif's first film production!

Sources said that Saif Ali Khan had recommended Kareena Kapoor for their new film, but the director rejected Saif’s pleas.

Going by the standards in Bollywood, this is something significant as normally the directors seldom have the guts to ignore the requests of the hero and more so when he is also the producer of the movie.

But many here would want to know if the director would have the same guts to reject a request either by Shah Rukh Khan or Aameer Khan!

Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor may not be an item any longer but next Valentine's Day (Feb 14) they're Milenge Milenge.

That's the title of their long-delayed romance directed by Satish Kaushik, which producer Boney Kapoor has decided to release on the day. Somewhat ironical considering Shahid and Kareena have gone their separate ways!

'So be it. Perhaps it was destined that the most romantic film featuring Shahid and Kareena would come only after their relationship is over,' Boney told IANS.

Thanks to the surprise success of Jab We Met, the long-dormant Shahid-Kareena starrer is being brought alive even as rumours surface that the lead pair is not interested in dubbing for the film.

'They haven't given me any indication that they've any problem with dubbing for the film,' says Boney,

Boney has even got the film pass the censor board. 'We've got the scratch-print censored. And all we need now is for Shahid and Kareena to dub.'

Director Satish Kaushik too is gung-ho about the release. 'Milenge Milenge is not at all dated. And why should Shahid and Kareena have any problems dubbing it?'

'In fact Shahid lives in my building. I've asked him about the dubbing and he's fine by it. And Kareena I've known since she came into the industry. I gave her first big hit Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai. Unlike that film, Milenge Milenge isn't a southern remake. I've entered a new phase of making films based on original scripts. My next release Tere Sang, about teen pregnancy, is also an original,' says Satish.

Satish was planning to release his film Tere Sang on Valentine's Day. 'But now that 'Milenge Milenge' is being planned for the same date I'll obviously hold back Tere Sang.'

The only person from the team who won't be part of the revived Milenge Milenge is Himesh Reshammiya.

Says Boney, 'Himesh has done the songs. Now we have got late Salil Chowdhary's son Sanjay to do the background score. The promos are also ready. It's a very young and fresh film. We're now looking at a Valentine's release Feb 14.'
