A peek at Dabbo Ratnani’s 2009 calendar

New Year calendars with Bollywood celebrities adding glaour and glitter to it are the most awaited part of any oncoming year. Among the most awaited ones is the calendar of Dabboo Ratnani. This time Dabboo has come up with his calendar featuring the brightest Bollywood stars like Akshay Kumar, Kangna Ranaut, Sushmita Sen, Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Kajol, Riteish Deshmukh and Deepika Padukone.

The calendar has Kajol in her ‘bindaas’ self atop a Mumbai taxi in a flaming red dress. Deepika Padukone is an all different look with her warrior queen avatar with a designer sword. Riteish Deshmukh looks awesomely striking with his Beatles-inspired sixties’ black and white look. Sajnay Dutt looks deadly behind the wheels of the gleaming red Ferrari.

Says Dabboo about his work, “I have not restricted myself to any dramatic theme for 2009. Some are in black and white, some are in reds while the rest are in vivid colors,” says Dabboo who begins work on his annual ritual in September every year. “Initially, I used to collect snaps of the stars I had shot and put them together for the calendar. But later, I began shooting them exclusively for it.”

SRK: Sushmita calls me an uncle

Shahrukh Khan must be 43 according to his birth date, but the actor is very young at heart and of course his body also doesn’t show any signs of aging, however there is one person who feels SRK is an oldy, his Main Hoon Na co-star Sushmita Sen.SRK says about his young actresses in movies, “They tell me that I am the youngest hero they have worked with. In fact, they say I am younger than the young guys. I work with these young girls without any ulterior motives of seducing them. I have so much love for Kareena, Deepika, Priyanka and Anoushka. Priyanka still does not call me by my name. I had crowned her at a beauty pageant. She says ‘Sir’ or just begins the conversation without taking my name. Nobody calls me uncle except Sush-mita, she tells me I’m very old!”

Well what do you think folks? SRK for you is young or old?
