Now, you can call it camaraderie between co-stars or professional amiability, but the buzz is that Priyanka and Sahil have been getting along very well while working in Farhan Akhtar’s thriller which introduces Sahil into films. He has a small role in the movie.

Sahil is a model and has worked in several commercials. Being a newcomer in Bollywood he is still learning the ropes of acting, and Priyanka being an established actress has reportedly been more than willing to help the handsome laddie with helpful tips and suggestions galore about acting. The two have become very friendly in a short time and this friendship might even develop into something bigger.

Now Vidya Balan chooses to get particular with pictures

Well, Aamir certainly seems to have inspired a lot of Bollywood artistes into following his perfectionist ways. And Vidya Balan seems set to be the next actress going the Aamir way. Vidya has decided to do one or two films a year as she wants to make sure that they will be successful at the box office.

Sources say, “Vidya is ensuring that she gives 100 per cent to her roles from the moment the script lands in her hand. She makes sure she knows her character thoroughly before taking on the role and studies everything there is to know about it. You will never see her doing ditzy roles but significantly defining ones.

After Paa and Ishqiya, Vidya’s penchant for acting will now be seen in the role of Sabrina Lall in Rajkumar Gupta’s No One Killed Jessica, based on the murder of the model Jessica Lall. The actress has made sure that she has left no stone unturned in performing the role.

“It is necessary for me as an actor,” says Vidya. “I am constantly looking to do something different. I want to look forward to something new when I get up every morning. I want that excitement when I go on the sets or else life will be boring. Such roles make me selfish as an actor.”

Speaking about the film she says, “The film is a fast paced thriller set in the hub of political power, New Delhi. It is the story of two amazing women and their relentless pursuit of justice that mobilises an entire nation to prove that in a democracy there is no greater power than the power of the people.”

Freida can't zest up vacant IFFI celebrity central

Freida Pinto came, she smiled, but not many people saw it. The 'Slumdog Millionaire' star was the biggest celebrity so far to walk the generally empty red carpet at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) but her presence failed to add any spice. The Mumbai-born actress is in Goa to attend the premiere of Woody Allen's film 'You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger' in Goa.

There was not much of a crowd when Pinto, dressed in a violet gown, walked the red carpet as not many people seemed aware of her presence. There was a crowd mostly of media persons outside the Inox venue for the premiere of the movie. Call it Allen's magic or the effect of Pinto's beauty, the hall was packed to its full capacity for the film, which is being shown in India for the first time. "It is great to see that the film is a houseful. No matter how big or small a film is, it is always great to know that your film is being liked by people," Pinto said before the screening.

Allen's latest film, a comedy-drama starring Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Gemma Jones and Naomi Watts, was first premiered at the Cannes film festival this year. Pinto plays the role of a musicologist Dia in the film. Brolin's character sees Pinto through a window and falls for her.

Talking about the film, Pinto said, "I learnt a very important thing from the film that the grass is always greener on the other side but I won't say much beyond the fact that it was an honor to work with Woody Allen. He is the best teacher that I have had, considering that I never went to an acting school.

Sonakshi Sinha bugged at 26/11 tribute occasion

It is a question that is being raised to not just the involved party but all of India, as to what occasion will it take for the average Indian man to behave himself in public places. Recently, Gul Panag was ill-treated at the Delhi Marathon by the very people who were participating in it. The actress couldn't file charges as it is difficult to recognise miscreants who indulge in such obscene acts concealing themselves in numbers. She blamed it on Delhi culture.

Yet again another young actress had to undergo a similar incident. Sonakshi came to attend an event organized by three NGOs in the memory of 26/11 victims at the Gandhi garden near the Mantralaya in South Mumbai. Sonakshi came to the event, sat for an hour and just as she was leaving a large group of people began following her. Among those who were her ardent fans, few were there just to create trouble. Sonakshi sensed something ugly and tried to fasten her stride, but the mob followed relentlessly. Some of them some started saying, "Idhar dekho naa, humse baat karo naa" as they tried coming close and some touched her on her arm and her shoulder. Their behaviour was disgusting and out-of order.

Sonakshi's bouncers rushed her out of the place and tucked her in the car that sped away. So shaken was the Dabangg girl that she was in tears when she left. It has to be said that such behavior and that too at an occasion that demands one's complete respect and harmony, is completely unacceptable.

Veena Malik truly botched at Big Boss 4

Veena Malik might be out to get publicity, or most likely and that's more understandable, is dancing on the silent tunes of the Indian Intelligence Agency; Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) which has just one-point agenda in mind and that is, to embarass the Pakistanis in front of the entire world.

And in a most recent series of event, Veena Malik was caught off-guard on camera as her towel accidentally slipped off, which won't be shown to the viewers of course but if this news is out, you never know at what places would the clipping reaches too, in too time as the men managing cameras are not saints too and her topless black and white picture with hands covering her boobs is already on the internet!

Bigg Boss 4 is thus, courting a huge chunk of headlines these days for the amount of eyebrows it is managing to raise. While we saw some uninhibited love stories culminating between Ashmit Patel and Sara Khan, Veena Malik and between Veena and Hrishant, the buzz is that Veena has now suffered a wardrobe malfunction.

If Futuristic Media network is to be believed then it would appear that the Pakistani contestant Veena Malik dropped her towel and even her top slipped off leaving her stark naked for close to 10 seconds before she managed to pull her garments back which of course, no one with integrity would do.

Veena Malik is known for her affinity towards glamour, make up and costumes and it was during one costume-changing session that her towel and her top slipped off leaving her garment-free right before the preying eyes of the camera. However, the male voyeurs won’t be able to relish on those images since such clips are censored by the bosses before being shown on national television.

While, it can’t be confirmed whether she did that on purpose (to grab some spotlight) or was it an unintentional wardrobe malfunction, but such nudity content is nothing new to this format. International Big Brother (in countries like Poland and Brazil) have often recorded such mishaps and fed them to the hungry viewers. This seems to be the ugly side of such reality shows. The fact is that Veena Malik might not be aware of how filthy the invitation for Big Boss 4 could be for her but she is now in too deep!

Provided she comes back, the Pathans would eat her alive and living in India would been Lollywood would leave another star which the RAW is out doing with Mona Liza, Javed Sheikh and Veena for that matter not to talk of our singers like Ali Azmat and Ali Zafar, giving them invitations for their projects so that our film, TV and movie industries collapse altogether. All Veena should do now is tread very, very cautiously as there are eyes on not anyone else but her each and every move!

Vivek Oberoi's cousin desires make it to bollywood on his own merit

Actor Vivek Oberoi’s cousin brother Akshay Oberoi, who’s set to make his debut in Tinseltown, is taking pains to hide the fact that he’s related to the star. However, the fact came to light quite accidentally.

“I am Vivek Oberoi’s cousin. My father (Krishan) is the younger brother of Suresh Oberoi. But frankly, I don’t want to be known as Vivek’s cousin. We are separate people and I am stubborn about the fact that I want to do things on my own,” says Akshay Oberoi, whose father is one of the four Oberoi brothers.

Sources close to both the families state that the real reason for the debutant underplaying his relationship with the star is because Vivek has rubbed many people in the industry the wrong wayand is in the bad books of many Bollywood biggies.

“He (Akshay) doesn’t want to be branded as Vivek’s brother. Those in the family (and outside it) believe his career might get stunted if the Vivek connection comes to the fore. In fact, Akshay has also requested Sooraj Barjatya (the producer of his debut film) and the publicists to avoid highlighting the family connection,” says a source.

But prod Akshay Oberoi for the real reason, and he blames it on his stubborn streak. “I want to make it to Bollywood on my own merit,” he says. So did he attend his famous cousin brother’s wedding?

“I was busy working and could not attend his (Vivek’s) marriage. Dad went for his marriage. No, we don’t share any bad vibes, and I did wish Vivek and Priyanka (his newly-wed wife) after their wedding,” he’s quick to add.

Freida Pinto: Senseless Bollywood Movies

Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto has ruled out plans of starring in Bollywood films, as she is more interested in real cinema rather than the song and dance routines. She has been offered several “stereotypical” roles for “a girl from India” ever since she got famous, but she’s adamant about avoiding parts in masala Bollywood movies.

“I wouldn’t want to do a Bollywood film per se, but I would like to do an Indian language film. For some reason I think Bollywood has become synonymous with commercial cinema, which is song and dance and everything that is larger than life. I am interested in the reality,” says the actor, who got herself an agent in Hollywood soon after the response to Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire.

The actor also worked with Woody Allen on You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger earlier this year. She adds, “It is great to have entertainment, but I think there needs to be something that also makes you want to go back and think about what you’ve seen.”

The actor, whose last release, Miral, failed to impress critics worldwide, says, “Mindless cinema is not my cup of tea..., I could get into trouble for saying that. I don’t think Bollywood is only mindless cinema, but a lot of films they churn out are not films that I completely enjoy watching.

But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t understand the amount of hard work that goes into making those ‘mindless films’. “I say hats off to them for doing what they do, because it takes a lot of courage. It is easier to stand and deliver dialogue. Imagine dancing a song out and expressing through it. I think it is a challenge and requires you to lose your inhibitions,” she adds.

Priyanka Chopra might be having sleepless nights in Berlin

Priyanka Chopra might be having sleepless nights in Berlin where she is presently shooting for Don 2. According to reports doing the rounds, the actress is being haunted by a ghost from her past. Well, not literally, but a certain Prakash Jaju has returned back to Priyanka Chopra’s life. For the uninitiated, Prakash Jaju was the actress’ secretary once upon a time. He was sacked by Priyanka Chopra when she caught him sending her lecherous text messages and was handed over to the police officials in Mumbai. But now that his arrest period is over, Prakash Jaju has resurfaced in Priyanka Chopra’s life.

The ex-secretary is reportedly promoting the career of Meera Chopra, Priyanka Chopra’s distant cousin. And though the Bollywood actress is very disturbed over the fact, she cannot really do anything about it, because though the court orders Prakash Jaju to stay away from her family, nothing has been mentioned about her extended family in the legal notice. What comes across as more troubling news to Priyanka Chopra is the fact that Meera has gone on record saying that she does not find anything wrong in Prakash Jaju’s character and she is prepared to work with him because the man may bring her some good offers from Bollywood. Meera Chopra is all set to debut in Bollywood next year and it is to be seen whether Prakash Jaju can create the same magic with her as he did with Priyanka Chopra.

Rani Mukherjee smoking in No One Killed Jessica promo makes debate

Remember how Aishwarya got the heat for the poster of her latest film Guzaarish because it showed her smoking? It was thought to be irresponsible as youth of today are easily impressed with stars. Well, the next in line is Rani Mukherjee.

Her upcoming film No One Killed Jessica is garnering publicity not just because of the trailer, that certainly makes you sit up and take notice, but more so because the promos show her smoking. It's strange because this isn't the first time Rani has smoked in a film; she did it before in Laaga Chunari Mein Daag where she played an elite escort.

In this film, Rani plays a headstrong journalist who takes up the cause of the murdered Jessica Lal. As part of her character specification, she had to smoke on a few occasions. NGO's though aren't interested in the creative aspect of the character and letters have been sent to the Health Ministry and censor board asking for the deletion of scenes involving the actress smoking.

Rani's character also shows her using profanity on screen in both English and Hindi in the promos. We wonder if that too would be deleted. The director of No One Killed Jessica maintains that these days using abuses in everyday conversations has become a norm and should be considered harmless. Well, that's yet to be seen.

Sonam Kapoor in local style

Actress Sonam Kapoor may be known for her international sense of style as she is spotted sporting Italian and French labels but she has decided to support desi designers. And the first from the lot happens to be Masaba, actor Neena Gupta’s daughter.

“It doesn’t matter who it is. Talent is talent and I always believed that it needs support,” Sonam said during an event. Sonam hinted that time that she will try to choose Indian designers over others whenever possible. “Indian designers are as good as anybody else in the world. We have the talent and we are good at it. When it comes to style, I think that Indians are one of the most stylish people in the world,” she added.

Masaba confirms that Sonam immediately agreed to support her when she approached her before launching her flagship store in Mumbai. “She was very supportive and I must tell you that she is unlike most other actors that I have come across. I had approached a celebrity who was the show stopper for Tarun Tahiliani’s show earlier but it is Sonam who immediately agreed to support me in this endeavor even though I am an upcoming designer,” says Masaba.

Not only did Sonam agree to inaugurate her flagship store, she will also be styled by Masaba for the event. Talking about her line Masaba says, “Dhotis, angarakhas, jumpsuits, ikat and silk sarees and shift dresses are some of the silhouettes.

Deepika Padukone: Love, sex and partners

In an exclusive interview the Bollywood star opens up on life in tinsel town. And why love deserves a second chance She is being talked about as the most promising fresh talent of Bollywood and giving credence to these claims are some of her biggest hits like Om Shanti Om and Housefull. Deepika Padukone has come a long way since she played Shanti opposite SRK and her role as a blind dancer in Lafangey Parindey saw her mature as an actor. The leggy lass is now all set to entertain the audience as Aaliya Khan opposite Imran in Kunal Kohli’s ‘Break Ke Baad.’

This movie about coming of age and relationships has taught Deepika a lesson or two in real life she confides. “After doing the movie, I came to know that people can actually give their love life a second try after putting in some space between each other. The concept is very new for me as I hail from a conservative family. Also I have grown up watching elders being happily married and spending their life with one person without ever wanting a break. I also learnt that a certain amount of tolerance is needed to make a relationship work,” she says.

The model-turned-actor who went through a much hyped break up with Ranbir Kapoor feels if there is no scope of a reconciliation it’s better to move on.“ I feel if a relationship has turned sour then one needs to move on in life. There is no point in sitting and crying over the spilt milk. It’s important to move on in life. We all have strength within ourselves to control our feelings and go ahead. We need to leave all the negativity that we may have experienced in our relationship and move on,” opines Deepika.

But moving on doesn’t mean severing all ties with your ex-flame, you can still be friends claims the actor. “When in relationship we feel that person is very important to us. The moments spent with him/her memorable. But when a relationship doesn’t work out you need not harbour any grudges. Instead create positivity, carry all the good things and maintain your friendship with him/her,” she quips.

Much has been written about Deepika and Ranbir some of it true and some of it mere rumours. But when asked about her ex-beau, Deepika does not restrain from commenting. “As I have said earlier too we are good friends,” avers the actor.

Having learnt from experience, Deepika also has a bit of advice for the ones coping with a break up. “Maintaining a relationship requires a lot of give and take. Sacrifices have to be made by both the couple.

Establishing a comfort level is also essential to carry forward a relationship. But if it still does not work out then we need not give up life. We need to attend to so many other things in our life time.

It’s important to keep ourselves busy by taking interest in our work.

Time is a great healer and you will gradually get over it,” she says with conviction.

And she has moved on as she is currently said to be dating business tycoon Sidharth Mallya, but once bitten twice shy, Deepika is cautious about talking of her present relationship. “I will not comment on this. A lot of media attention was given to my personal life because I was vocal about my relationship with Ranbir. Hence, I have decided to not talk about my personal life anymore,” she confirms.

But recently did she go for an eye check up with Sidharth as was quoted by many newspapers? “Smiles…I have my glasses. I don’t need to go for an eye check up now. Things were blown out of proportions by the media.” she replies.

Moving on to discussing about friends and foes in the industry, Deepika clarifies that all is well between her and Sonam. “I have no grudges against Sonam. It’s the media that’s creating such hypes. Karan’s show is not to be taken seriously. He asks tongue in cheek questions but it is all done in good humour.”

She also maintains that she doesn’t have very close friends in Bollywood. “I am so busy that I do not have much time to find a best friend in the industry. Moreover, whenever we are working we meet each other frequently, converse and then as soon as the film is over we don’t get to see each other. But while working together I have always shared a good rapport with my co-stars.” she declares.

Is it a conscious effort on her part to stay away from bonding much with the film fraternity because of the shallow relationships and double standard? Pat comes her reply, “There are no double standards in the industry. I would only say that sometimes they do not appreciate honest people. At times, honest assessments put them off. They should learn to accept things as they are and not crave for false appreciation.”And last but not the least, talking about Break Ke Baad, she says, “In this film Danish Alam has tried to bring forth the contemporary love life of today’s youth."

Aishwarya rai and Hrithik Roshan's Guzaarish: Movie Review

The film is beautifully shot by Sudeep Chatterjee. It has strong performances and there are several scenes, which genuinely move you. But there is just as much that is clumsy, including an unintentionally comical group-hug in the climax. Despite the many admirable elements, Guzaarish never becomes more than the sum of its parts.

Co-written and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Guzaarish is cobbled together from many well-known movies. From Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige, Bhansali sources a world of magic and illusion in which rival magicians sabotage each other. So the protagonist, Ethan Mascarenhas played by Hrithik Roshan, is great magician who becomes a quadriplegic when a trick goes wrong. There are shades of Julian Schnabel’s The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and several scenes and characters lifted from the 2005 foreign-language Oscar winner The Sea Inside, in which Javier Bardem gives an astounding performance as a bed-ridden man who fights to die. Ethan makes a similar plea for euthanasia or as he calls it: ‘ethanasia’.

To this busy canvas, Bhansali adds a beautiful nurse Sophia, played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan; an apprentice Omar, played by Aditya Roy Kapur and a devoted lawyer, played by Shernaz Patel. The best part of the film is the beautifully etched relationship between Ethan and Sophia, who wearing floor-length Sabyasachi skirts and gorgeous earrings, seems to be channeling Frida Kahlo.

She calls him Mr Mascarenhas and handles him with a tough love devoid of pity. So, when he pretends to be aroused, she tops it with some world-class moans of her own.

Bhansali is among the few directors who enable Aishwarya to shed her trademark artificiality. Looking stunning, she delivers her most heart-felt performance in years. Hrithik struggles and sweats with a difficult role. Ethan must be gloriously life-affirming even as he begs for death. But his character, like the film, is too over-wrought and obviously manipulative.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has positioned himself as Hindi cinema’s poet of pain. His movies are operatic and highly melodramatic. But over the course of six films, the worlds Bhansali creates have become increasingly sealed off and removed from any known reality. So even though the characters in Guzaarish ostensibly live in Goa, the milieu isn’t one that you would recognise. This fantasy would be effective if the writing was more organic and the emotions felt more authentic but Bhansali never gives us a chance to invest in these people.

Characters just randomly appear and disappear. So Sophia’s abusive husband drops in for one scene as does Ethan’s rival who scars him for life. It’s clunky and strangely disjointed. Combining euthanasia with song-and-dance is a tough, tough feat and despite his prodigious talent, Bhansali can’t pull it off. Since we don’t have a two and three-quarter rating, I’m going with three stars.

Tees Maar Khan is shaping out to be something big and promising after what we witnessed in the song ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’. Farah Khan yet again presses the right button touching the right nerves of voyeuristic males and presenting Katrina in her sauciest avatar yet.

Farah manages to bring the best out of the sexy Katrina who can be seen in skimpy clothes and revealing outfits in this racy song.

With this song, Katrina becomes the latest to join the A-list actresses who have done item numbers. Truly, Katrina has never looked more desirable and yummier.

Vidya Balan demonstrates off a challenging side

Vidya Balan indicated gatherings her sensual side in Vishal Bhardwaj's Ishqiya early this year.

Shahrukh Khan's latest Movie 'Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu'

Some years back, Neha Dhupia in an interview had said that in Bollywood, either sex sells or Shahrukh Khan. The makers of SHAHRUKH BOLA KHOOBSURAT HAI TU have perhaps tried to cash in on the latter. The 2003 film, MAIN MADHURI DIXIT BANNA CHAHTI HOON starring Antara Mali also did something similar, but didn't do well.

Makrand Deshpande, a known name in the theatre world ventures into Bollywood direction with SHAHRUKH BOLA KHOOBSURAT HAI TU. Interestingly, he is the same guy who was seen with Shahrukh Khan in the song, Yunhi chala chal Rahi from SWADES. He has acted in many films in the past.

Laali (Preetika Chawla) is a girl who sells flowers for a living. One day, a car stops right besides her, and the person who's sitting inside the car is none other than superstar Shahrukh Khan. He calls her beautiful, leaving her flabbergasted. This incident has a life-changing impact on her. She doesn't reciprocate bookseller John's love, who stabs her and envies Shahrukh. In her fantasy world, she believes that Shahrukh Khan will save her in all circumstances. A journalist sees this as a potential story and follows Laali and other people associated with her.

The concept of relationship between a fan and a star is definitely novel. But the execution by director Makrand Deshpande is pretty vapid here. The narrative is devoid of engaging moments making it a painful watch. One fails to understand whether it's from the journalist's point of view or the flower seller's. The ambiguous climax just adds to the woes.

Kareena Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Katrina Kaif in Item no's

Kareena Kapoor who is known as the versatile actress in Bollywood has had quite a sensational career graph has far as her selection of roles is concerned. She has gone from one role to another with a jumping of miles stones often competing with her own self and out doing her own performances with new zest of energy. However what made her delve into the item number jig in Farhan Akhtar’s Don, with the most popular number of the retro times Yeh Mera Dil?

Next we have Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who is to appear in Guzaarish with a hot number albeit fully clad in retro style gown and accessories, but despite that her dance moves are very luring, going by the promos of the film. Katrina Kaif too is to be seen in an item number in the soon to be released Tees Maar Khan, where she is going to be shown in a beautiful satin white bed sheet looking as pristine as ever!

Well perhaps the fact that gone are the times when top actresses never dared to touch these item numbers and saved it for the side actresses to perform on. The fact that a sexy image was something which only the side actresses had was a major driving force in keeping leading actresses steer clear from these hot item numbers.

Now modern thought processes and positive mind sets have changed all that. The actresses of today have to perform dramatic scenes as well as dance to sexy tunes to lure the top male protagonist as well as the audiences. Well the change is certainly welcome and who’s complaining? No one the male protagonists are having a blast, the audiences are pleased, the film makers are pleased with the mullah filling up their pockets- a total win win situation!

She will give tough competition to Shilpa Shetty and Bipasha Basu, who are already into that bandwagon.

However, Lara had planned for this fitness DVD just after the release of her film Blue, where she was seen in her bikini avatar. It seems the 32-year-old actress was inspired by the film to launch her fitness DVD. She went into slimming and trimming session during the making of the film and her sexy avatar was appreciated.

Sonam Kapoor: Guess which figure part of Bipasha Basu she envies

Katrina Kaif and Aishwarya Rai or Kareena Kapoor and Bipasha Basu or Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta- tensions have always surfaced when two actresses come together for a film. Sparks fly as backbiting, bitching or utter dislike emerges.

However, contrary to the general expectations, ravishing Sonam Kapoor and the Bong bombshell Bipasha Basu hit it off like a house on fire when they bumped on the sets of ‘Player’.

‘Player’ is an action caper from Abbas-Mastan factory and has Sonam and Bipasha as the leading females. Since the duo has never worked with each other, the crew members were jittery about how they would go about their business.

But instead of ignorance or showing any acrimony, they soon greeted each other and dug deep into engrossing chitchats. Bipasha, who is a fitness freak, lent her handy tips to Sonam who, on her part, shared her fashion advices.

And Sonam professed her envy for Bipasha’s body part- her oomph-evoking legs. Yes! Sonam is willing to swap her legs for that of Bipasha’s. Toned and well-muscled, Bipasha’s legs are fetching high demand these days. But we love Sonam the way she is. Let Bips keep her limbs. They suit her more than they would have suited Sonam.

Kareena Kapoor not announced the exact date of her wedding with Saif Ali Khan

Bollywood's 'size zero' diva Kareena Kapoor denied announcing the accurate date of her wedding with Saif Ali Khan. She says that the event will likely be held in a year from now.

The lack of detail leaves too much room for confusion, misinterpretation and speculation. She adds that she is a firm believer in the institution of marriage and is eagerly awaiting the big day. Kareena had reportedly had a dialogue with the family members of both sides in connection with the marriage. The delay in announcing the date of the marriage is almost certainly due to the deliberation of the duo on Kareena's career in Bollywood post-marriage.

Katrina Kaif cloth less in her next flick

Farah Khan has managed to do the impossible. Make Katrina Kaif drop her clothes and be clad in just a white satin sheet. Farah says, "Sheila Ki Jawani was supposed to be a raunchy item Bhojpuri kind of song as Katrina's a wannabe actress acting in sleazy films but the song shaped out to be classy and a mix between Chicago and Broadway.

I have never seen Katrina looking both hot and sensuous at the same time. In her earlier films, she's dressed mostly like a Barbie doll. Katrina really trusted me and didn't argue even once when I told her what she had to wear. She just told me that she needs to start working out and tone her body more.

I never told Katrina to lose weight. We shot Sheila Ki Jawani in five days and every day we had a new set and new costumes. For the satin bed sheet, we had a 10 feet rotating bed with the men around her. She would shoot with us and then go and work out at 11.30 pm so that her abs would be toned. Her dedication is tremendous. She didn't feel awkward with so many men around. The more they screamed and cheered for her, the more she got a high and her energy levels increased."

Vidya Balan - What's Vidya's secret habit

Everybody has a quirky passion and we have learned that Vidya Balan's passion is to collect saris. The actress, who has sported many saris at various events and parties, owns at least 500 of them. Her enviable collection includes saris from various Indian designers and she takes care in making sure all of them are laid out well in her wardrobe.

She takes them out every month to make sure that they are being preserved well. Maybe Vidya should check out if there is a Guinness Book of records in owning saris. She could certainly compete as her passion is showing no signs of dying down.

Kareena Kapoor: What makes this red hot angel-face sizzling in the list of fantastic stars?

Kareena Kapoor who began her career exactly a decade back and debuted in Refugee with Abhishek Bachchan as her co star has indeed come a long way and established a name for herself in tinsel town. What is the quality that makes this fiery babe hot in the list of great stars?

Well first and foremost the gal belongs to one of Bollywood’s greatest film families the Kapoor family. This is perhaps her plus point. But hold it the family tag only helps to get an entry into films. After that this highly competitive field requires a lot of talent, loads of patience, the right attitude and the willingness to carry on despite failures. Thus Kareena Kapoor is a gal who scores a full ten on all these counts. This hot star has never been let down by her failures and never got carried away by her successes either.

Kareena’s stylish avatar in Karan Johar’s Khabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham as she sashayed as Poo was well liked by the audiences. Her very outspoken character in Jab We Met as the effervescent Geet was also one of her best roles ever and a lot of actresses have gone on to say that they would love to play the role of Geet if they ever get the chance.

With her recent release Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 3, Kareena has again proved what a versatile star she is. Her role as the freaky Daboo in the all casual attire and very happy go lucky attitude towards life is also being well appreciated all over.

Her forth coming flicks, Shahrukh Khan’s home production RA ONE and Saif Ali Khan’s Agent Vinod will see her in two more different avatars. The first will see her as Shahrukh’s wife and a mom too as they have a child of about eight years old in the sci- fi flick. In Agent Vinod, Bebo plays the role of a spy with very professional attire and matter of fact dialogues. So just wait for Kareena’s these two films to release, while enjoying her recently released flick, if you haven’t seen it yet !

Shahrukh Khan: A blurring superstar marking an Autograph

While Aamir Khan has signed Reema Kagti’s suspense thriller, the King Khan SRK may become a fading star. No! Not in reality but for the remake of a Bengali film Autograph.

Autograph is a Bengali film that has been declared a runaway hit after releasing last week. It stars actor Prosonjeet as a fading star. There is a strong buzz that producer Madhu Mantena (who has decided to make its Hindi version) is eyeing Shahrukh for that role.

In the same film, Ranbir Kapoor may play a young director. The film shall be helmed by Srijit Mukherjee, who also directed the original Bengali version. But some altercations may be made to suit the Hindi audience. After all, there is some difference between a regional viewer and a national spectator.

Producer Mantena confirms that he, indeed, plans to make a remake and cites that this is the era of remakes and loads of regional films have the potential to be made into a full fledged Hindi commercial cinema.

Even Aamir Khan’s ‘Ghajini’ was a remake of the superhit Telugu film. Incidentally, Ghajini did a stupendous business in Bollywood and is currently the 3rd biggest blockbuster of all times.

Katrina Kaif: Will she ever drop garments and lock lips?

Aishwarya Rai, after years in the industry, finally shed her inhibitions and locked lips (a full French one) with lucky actor Hrithik Roshan in ‘Dhoom 2’. Despite her years of coyness and restrictions, Yash Raj succeeded in breaking the wall.

But one wonders, when would Katrina Kaif take that path and say yes to intimate scenes. Though, Katrina looks seductive even in chiffon sarees and well-covered body, she has always had inhibitions getting steamy with co-stars.

Katrina seemingly has a no-kissing clause in her contract and even though reports are flying that she has sealed lips with Hrithik Roshan in Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, no official confirmation has yet arrived. In fact, now the speculations are rife that she had been offered the kissing scene but she refused to green signal it.

While one may raise eyebrows recalling her lip-brushing act with John Abraham in ‘New York’, it wasn’t a proper kiss but more a camera-angle trick. But her no-intimacy clause is also a matter of grave astonishment as she’s the same gal who had no qualms in going semi-nude and literally vulgar in her forgettable debut ‘Boom’.

May be, now that she is an established actress, she is not comfortable in treading on to that route. But aren’t other A-list actresses too shedding clothes and inhibitions? Priyanka, Deepika, Preity, Kareena all are doing it. Will Katrina ever head that way?

Aamir And Shahrukh To fight In December 2011?

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has announced that he would next be working with Reema Kagti on the yet untitled suspense drama. This joint production of Farhan Akhtar-Ritesh Sidhwani and Aamir Khan would be ready for release by end of 2011.

Now here is the catch. The makers of this film are also the ones behind Shah Rukh Khan's DON 2 (which is also being directed by Farhan Akhtar), which is all set for 23rd December 2011 release. This means that it could well be the case of a little too much for the production house as well to release two of their major films around the same time.

Reema, maintaining her distance from the production matters, said, "I can't really be commenting on this actually. The release plans are still being talked about and I don't know the exact time-line of the film's release. Yes, there are talks about releasing it before end of 2011 but let's see."

However, the fact still remains that suspense dramas are not known for being lavish affairs which means that this Aamir Khan film could be possibly smaller in comparison of DON 2.

Reema adds, "Well, yes you are right; it is futile to speculate. Also, it is hard to quantify things in the manner you state. All I can say at this point is that the film would be good enough to compete with the biggest of films in 2011.”

What makes Malaika the extreme Bollywood zest girl

Malaika Arora Khan not an actor, never mind the odd itsy-bitsy role in the odd forgettable film. Yet she has lasted in the film industry for over a decade. “I’m pretty much peripheral in terms of Bollywood, but yet in a way, because of the family I am married into, and my songs, I am in Bollywood ,” she says.

She is, rather, Bollywood’s Shakira of “item” numbers, the Item No. 1. A 35-year-old mother of a seven-year-old son, and still the stuff of male fantasy: when she teases a small town in Uttar Pradesh to distraction as Munni in Dabangg, the front-benchers and multiplex janta go wild. She is also, by the way, the producer of Dabangg Malaika will forgive you for letting that fact slip. “With me it’s always the songs... it’s for my “item” numbers that I’ll be part of this country’s cinema library.



It all started on top of a train. The year was 1998 and the film Mani Ratnam’s Dil Se. Malaika did the Chhaiyya chhaiyya Shah Rukh Khan and we all know how that turned out. Twelve years later, the “item number” is alive, though perhaps not flourishing, and she is still at the top, offered “a song a day toh pucca”. It’s a fact of the business: if an “item” song is the masala your film needs, Malaika is the go-to girl. In an industry where leading ladies turn into wallflowers in less than half a decade, what’s the secret of the dream run?



“She’s sexy, she’s beautiful and she’s a very good dancer,” says choreographer and director Farah Khan, “but then so are a lot of girls out there.” The difference, Farah says, is in the way she has planned her career. “Malaika has an edge because she has chosen her assignments wisely, maintained her exclusivity and is extremely professional. That’s the reason she has lasted so long,” she says. That, and the backing of one of Bollywood’s most powerful film families.
