Asin Feels Lucky in Bollywood

No debutante could have had a better debut than actress Asin. She was a renowned actress down south and she got a chance to make a debut opposite the great Aamir Khan. Ghajini is the biggest hit of the year and Asin is flooded with Bollywood offers… Lucky isn’t it! Thats what she feels.

“I was approached for ‘London Dreams’ while I was shooting for ‘Ghajini’. I don’t know how they found out about me. I have just finished a long schedule of shooting the film abroad and some of it is still left.

“But I feel I have received a very warm welcome to Bollywood. Both my initial projects are with good banners, actors and filmmakers. I feel lucky and blessed,” she told IANS.

After Julia Roberts who thought Aishwarya Rai was one of the most beautiful women in the world with green eyes, now its Nicole Kidman who has gone ga ga over our desi beauty.
Nicole reportedly said, “I’m a fan of Aishwarya Rai and her film ‘Bride and Prejudice’. I got to meet Aishwarya for the first time at the 2005 Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World dinner held in New York City. I think she’s so beautiful.”

Aamir Khan’s Ghajini is proving to be the biggest hit of all times. The film released on Christmas day and in 5 days it has made a whooping 90 crores.

“A Christmas release, Ghajini has collected revenues totalling $4 million (nearly Rs.200 million) till Sunday, taking its total worldwide collections to nearly Rs.90 crores in just five days since its release,” reports a source.

“According to BIG Pictures, Reliance BIG Entertainment Ltd (RBEL), which released “Ghajini” in 22 countries, opened with $0.92 million in the Middle East, followed by North America with $1.4 million and Australia with $254,000,” adds the source.

Ghajini and RNBDJ not to be released in Pak

Due to the ongoing tension prevailing between Indo-Pak after Mumbai Terror attacks, Pakistan has stopped the exhibition of Bollywood flicks.

Nadeem Mandiwala, a distributer says, “There is nothing officially conveyed to us but the censor and culture ministry has not cleared any new Indian films for release after the Mumbai incident.”

Another Cinema owner says, “We don’t know how long this situation is going to last but we are afraid of the worst.”

A shopowner reveals, “People are coming back to us for pirated prints of RNBJ and Ghajini as they are not up for release in cinema halls,”

“It’s back to business again because no matter what the state of relations between the two countries, people don’t want to miss out on the latest films of superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan,” another shop owner adds.

That’s a definite blow for SRK’s and Aamir’s Pakistani fans.

Aamir denies forming a team with Salman against SRK

Aamir Khan in a recent candid interview with a website, denied forming a team with Salman Khan against Shahrukh Khan.

When the interviewer asked him, How true is it that yourself and Salman are forming a team or a camp against SRK?

There is no truth in that at all. I think, Salman, Shah Rukh and me are individuals in our own right. I have a relationship with SRK and Salman. Both are friends and there are no camps or anything like that.

Aamir, I’ve lost a bit of my memory. Can you please tell me who was the lead actor in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi?
Why do you guys do this to me yaar. You like such things, don’t you? One day because of you, I’ll be beaten up badly (laughs).

Well now that the air is cleared, we hope Aamir and SRK fans will stop fighting on this issue.

Katrina Kaif’s Beauty and Style Secrets

Katrina Kaif is the most beautiful actress in Bollywood at the moment. She is perfect in every way - amazing skin, beautiful eyes, lovely mouth and the chic knows how to accentuate her beauty well. Never do you see her wearing what doesn’t suit her style both in terms of clothes and makeup.

She reveals her beauty secrets and it is interesting to know what kind of products she uses and what is her beauty regimen. So make sure you note this stuff down in case you wanna be as beautiful as her -

Beauty Regimen
“I kick start my day with three to four glasses of water. I excercise. I love swimming, jogging, gymming — this gives blood circulation a boost and skin feels healthier. My skin behaves well if I use less make-up. A beauty rule that I follow is to always cleanse my face of all make-up, however tired I may be. I use a face wash by Mene & Moy which has two per cent salicylic acid and Lancôme Cleansing Milk for the face and eyes.  I am addicted to the Purifying Apricot Oil from Anne Semoin. To deal with a beauty emergency I rely on a mineral mud mask by Anne Semoin. It calms my skin.”

Makeup
“I like to play up my eyes with lots of mascara by Yves Saint Laurent. My look for the coming season is traditional with more emphasis on the eyes with MAC kohl, keeping cheeks and lips neutral with a bronze highlighter from Laura Mercier and a MAC lip gloss in nude.”

Clothes
“I like to wear Floral summer dresses or tracks and sweatshirts or cargo pants and sleeveless tee shirts during the day I don’t party too often, but when I do, I opt for a Tarun Tahiliani Indo-Western or Rocky S’ Westerns. I just cant do without my Lee Jeans.”

Interesting!

Bipasha narrates the horror of 26/11

What most of us don’t know that our leggy lass Bipasha Basu was also caught in the mayhem of the terrible terror attacks that brought Mumbai to a standstill.

Bipasha says, “I feel vulnerable and helpless. That’s why I haven’t spoken until now.”

Bipasha was on the way to her home from filmcity when she got stuck in the mayhem, “It happened at Vile Parle as I crossed the area. There was mayhem on the road as my staff and I sat huddled in our car wondering what to do next. Should we go forward? Or go back? I told my driver to drive in the middle of the road as fast as possible,” she says.

Bipasha apparently has been wounded very bad emotionally after the terror attacks, she says, “I’ve been extremely affected by 26/11. I haven’t spoken to anyone about it until now. I don’t know how I can ease the pain of Mumbai. Everyone wants to put forward more than just a point of view. But no one seems to know what to do. I do believe in the mass movement that Mumbai has been seeing over the last three weeks. I think people lighting candles, holding hands, showing their solidarity speaking out…it’s all very effective.”

“I thought this movement would die down after the first few days. But now I feel it’s not losing momentum. And I’m very happy about that. The media is playing a very important part in keeping the movement against terrorism alive. I must admit I thought it would be over after one Sunday. That’s why I kept quiet.”

“I just hope it continues. If the people’s voice continues to be heard whichever government comes into power will be forced to pay heed and provide us with basic security. Sure, our economy is booming and the industries are doing well. But what do we do without security in Mumbai? If the financial capital of India which generates the maximum taxes is hit, how do we sustain global confidence in our country?”

“What happened to Mumbai is a shame for the entire country. I went out socially for the first time this week. Life must go on. The important thing is to not forget the lessons that we’ve learnt from 26/11. Now I feel far less defeated far more optimistic about the future than I did the first few days after Mumbai was attacked. Mumbai won’t forget. We have Zero security in the country. Otherwise how could there be continuous blasts all over the city for so many hours? And if the detonated RDX had not been discovered in time, it could have been worse.”

I saw Neeraj Pandey’s A Wednesday after 26/11. I can’t believe it’s so sensitive and so prophetic. Like Naseeruddin Shah being pushed into destroying terrorism the Common Man is ready take action. A Wednesday should be a textbook on terrorism. All of us should see it and learn its lessons.”

Point taken Bips!!!

SRK is a hero: Vivek Vaswani

The day terror attack hit Mumbai many lives came to a standstill and same happened to Viveck Vaswani who was shooting his film Dulha Mil Gaya and SRK supported him big time on that worst day.

Viveck says, “Shah Rukh Khan is a true hero. He came to do a film for a friend when the city was burning. He had a huge release round the corner (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi) and there were quite a few odds against the film’s shoot; still he made it possible.”

“While Shah Rukh Khan stood like a pillar of support, what the entire unit of Dulha Mil Gaya did for me was also simply unimaginable.”

 Viveck’s Dulha Mil Gaya starrs Sushmita Sen and Fardeen Khan, SRK plays a cameo in the flick.

Neil Nitin Is In Love!

Neil Nitin Mukesh is one of the hottest new kids on the block and everyone is curious why he is still single. But the buzz is that the handsome hunk is in love and he is very soon going to propose to his lady love, he said in an interview.

“There is a person whom I probably like. I am waiting for the right time to come and then I will confess to her about my feelings. I would not like to reveal her name at this point of time. For the time being she is just a friend. Let something happen. I can assure you that whenever it happens, you would be the first person to know.”

Did I hear a few heartbreaks there?

Anushka’s Dad Doesn’t Wanna Find Her A Boy

Anushka Sharma’s dad is just not interested in finding her actress daughter a suitable boy.

“My father always says,”You please go and find a boy for yourself because I doubt if I will ever find one for you”. I tend to go the hyper way sometimes which is fine because that’s my age.” says Anushka Sharma.

We already know she prefers Surinder over Raj and she explains, “So if I was ever to find someone for me, the guy has to be like Surinder Sahni. If you are dating a rich brat, how far can you go on is my question and where are you going to go? You want to be with someone who loves you like Suri does, that is unconditionally. He has to be sweet and genuine. I was watching the film and was cursing my character because I failed to understand why Taani isn’t falling in love with him.”

So does that mean she has a crush on Shahrukh? Apparently not, Anushka thinks Shahrukh is better off with Gauri. She thinks the two make a very cute couple.

Akshay Kumar Gifts Twinkle a Bentley Car

Akshay Kumar is a loving husband, so what if he charges the poor producers 9 crores for a mere dubbing job even when the world economy is down in the dumps. Look what nice things he does with all the money. He pays heavy income tax to the Indian government and keeps his wife happy… Thats perhaps the greatest achievement for any Indian man - because these two things are literally impossible to achieve for many Indian men. 

He decided to gift her a lavish Bentley Car worth 3 crore to his wifey dear on her birthday on 29th December. Apparently he spent so much for her because he was extremely proud of her and wanted to give her the best of everything because he owes his success to her.

Apparently he handed the car keys to his wife before he flew off to Hong Kong for Christmas Show. Twinkle was overwhelmed with joy we heard.

Akki Boy… You are truly the Kinngg… Im serious

Aamir Khan makes Mona Singh Nervous!

Mona Singh of the Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin fame is making her Bollywood debut with superstars Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor in Raj Kumar Hirani’s Five Point Someone adaptation 3 Idiots. She is very excited and nervous about the film.

Mona says, Aamir is so good. It’s not even funny. He makes me so nervous. In fact, the thought of working with any of the big stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan makes me very nervous. But for now, I am excited.”

She plays Kareena’s sister in the film and talking about her role she says, “I play a very bubbly character in the film and my look is very different from what I look right now. My role is really good and I have a major part in the climax of the film.”

Mona is a fairly good actress we saw her acting skills in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin and she dances amazingly - that made her win two dance competitions on TV. We hope the actress does well on the silver screen too.

Deepika and Sonam best pals

 

You wouldn’t have expected dosti between these two beauties, however their yaraana tells otherwise as the two beauties Deepika and Sonam have buried the hatchet and now are best of buddies.

A source close to Deepika says, “Deepika is down-to-earth and friendly by nature. This so-called wall between the two was eating into her. So she decided to initiate a friendship by giving Sonam a gift during Diwali. Sonam was pleasantly surprised at Deepika’s sweet gesture and thanked her profusely. That broke the supposed cold vibes between the two. With the guard let down from both the sides, the actresses spoke their heart out to each other and put aside their differences. At the end of their conversation, they both realised that there was no animosity from both the ends and decided to be friends. Since then Deepika and Sonam have remained good friends. Besides meeting regularly, the actresses enjoy their girlie talk over calls and smses and even hang out. Recently they even went to watch Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, albeit in a group which also had Ranbir.”

“Things have changed today. If Ranbir and Sonam share a cordial relationship today it is thanks to Deepika.”

However the news still has to be confirmed by Deepika and Sonam.
