The secret to Shah Rukh Khan incredible energy levels
Te secret to Shah Rukh Khan incredible energy levels and bounce may be reflection. Not the careful consideration kind but the one that stares back at you from within a mirror.On the sets of Om Shanti Om, once the 41-year-old is ready with his make up, he stands in front of the mirror for a good 10 minutes before stepping out for the shot. During that time no one, including his close staff, is allowed to disturb him.A crew member from the film told the Mumbai Mirror, "That's his way of de-stressing himself and keeping his energy levels high. He is the most enthusiastic individual on our sets. Even at the end of the day he is all up and above."What ever it is he does standing in front of the mirror - hone his facial expressions for the forthcoming shot, fret over why fans don't like his new hairstyle, or wonder why anyone would want to install his statue in French Grevin Museum in Paris - there is no denying Khan has given a whole new meaning to what constitutes reflection.

Kolkata, Jan 11 (IANS) Anurag Thakur, a member of the Indian Premier League (IPL) governing council and president of the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association, said Tuesday he is hopeful about Saurav Ganguly getting associated with one of the franchises before the fourth edition of the League begins April 8.
"I know him (Sourav) for a long time, he is very good friend of mine. He is a great player. But as Preity Zinta had said, the director chooses the actor according to the role. Twenty20 is altogether a different Game, " Thakur said while talking to media persons here Wednesday.
"Those who are investing money in T20 should always think how they could use the expertise and experience of a great player like Sourav. There was a statement from Shahrukh Khan and from that I feel that Shah Rukh and Sourav might have conversed, and I hope something will come out, " said Thakur.
Ganguly, who led Kolkata Knight Riders in the last three IPL editions, failed to get a buyer in the two-day Players ' auction in Bangalore over the weekend

'Youngsters need to believe in winning' - Shahrukh Khan Author : Shubha Shetty-Saha He’s the son of a freedom fighter, a self-made man, highly secular and hugely successful…Shah Rukh Khan is arguably the perfect icon for the children of Free India ‘My dad, the freedom fighter’ My father passed away when I was 15. Before that, dad used to take me to meet a lot of freedom fighters who used to gather every weekend. These meetings had the likes of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and they used to discuss that era in such detail that it is all embedded in my memory. They would meet at places like Karol Bagh, Jama Masjid, drink kawa and chat. Dad used to talk to me like a friend and tell me about their freedom struggle - the time they spent in the jail, about partition and a whole lot of things. I keep those memories close to my heart like a treasure. The children post my generation, like my own children, would be unfortunately completely out of touch. The best thing my dad taught me is nevePure and unadulterated -- two words that do justice to Vishal Bhardwaj's cinematic adaptation of Ruskin Bond's novella THE BLUE UMBRELLA. That Vishal is an adept storyteller is known by now. In THE BLUE UMBRELLA, he goes back to his directorial debut. If MAKDEE was about a village girl and a witch, THE BLUE UMBRELLA is about an umbrella that becomes the object of envy in a hamlet in Himachal Pradesh. Stories like the one narrated in THE BLUE UMBRELLA are a rarity today, since the focus is on a large canvas and larger than life stars. THE BLUE UMBRELLA is set in a hamlet and essentially revolves around an umbrella, a kid and a tea stall owner.The handling of the subject material is interesting, but the fact remains that the film has its limitations. It caters to a small section of moviegoers, the connoisseurs of cinema, thereby restricting its appeal to select multiplexes in select cities.

Not only does it entail lots and lots of research, but to recreate the bygone era and get the right set of actors to enact the characters is another challenge.

umbai, August 05 By Our Bollywood Reporter Ms Divya Chawla Al-Qaeda's No 2 has warned Britons of more attacks, saying Prime Minister Tony Blair's policies would bring them more destruction.   In a video aired on Thursday, Ayman al-Zawahri also told the United States that al-Qaeda would continue to launch deadly attacks until US troops quit Iraq and all other Muslim countries.   "Blair's policies brought you destruction in central London and will bring you more destruction," Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's deputy, said in the tape aired by Al Jazeera television.   'Our message to you is clear'
He stopped short of directly claiming responsibility for last month's bomb attacks against London's transport system, which killed more than 50 people. At least two groups linked to al-Qaeda have claimed responsibility for the attacks.   Zawahri said the US was lying about its losses in Iraq, "as it had in Vietnam", and called on Washington to immediately withdraw its troops.   "What you have seen in New York, Washington and Afghanistan are only the initial losses," said Zawahri, referring to the September 11 2001 attacks on the US, for which al-Qaeda claimed responsibility.   "If you (the US) continue the same hostile policies, you will see something that will make you forget the horrors you have seen in Vietnam," he added.   "There is no way out for Washington except by immediate withdrawal. Any delay in this decision means more killing and losses.   'There will be no salvation until you withdraw from our land'

"If you don't withdraw today, you will inevitably withdraw tomorrow, but only after tens of thousands are killed and injured."   The tape appeared recent because the London bombings took place last month. Zawahri, wearing a black turban and a white robe, looked older than in previous tapes.   He said Western nations would not live in peace as long as they ignored a truce offer made by Bin Laden in April last year.   "To the people of the crusader coalition... our blessed Sheik Osama has offered you a truce so that you leave Muslim land. As he said, you will not dream of security until we live it as a reality in Palestine and until all your infidel armies leave Prophet Mohammed's lands," he said.   "Our message to you is clear, strong and final: There will be no salvation until you withdraw from our land, stop stealing our oil and resources and end support for infidel, corrupt (Arab) rulers."

Shahrukh Khan speaks upfront to Indian youthsDear Sir I am Rahul Oberoi. I have previously submitted articles on Anara Gupta and others. Thanks for publishing my articles. Today i wish to talk on Preity Zinta and her MMS clip going around. A delhi based website bollyheat is showing images of Prity Zinta taking shower in a hotel room. From the pictures that they have displayed I get a feeling that the girl is not Preity Zinta. Preity Zinta looks are completely different than this girl showed by the website. What makes me feel angry and Bad is how can some one show photos of Preity like this and give her bad name. I feel Indian police should come forward and take actions against such websites who are spoiling image of sober and cute actress like Preity Zinta. I will like to bring to every one attention that the pics shown below for reference are not true photos of Preity. Photo Source : Delhi based bollyheat.com These pics are a direct assault on Prity Zinta's reputation and I will urge Preity and her fans to spread the word that the photos are fake and not of Preity. I am also awaiting a disclaimer from BollywoodSargam telling it's visitors about the fake bathing clip. I also appreciate the way BollywoodSargam came up to support Mallika Sherawat when her look alike girl was shown doing sex. Please also support Preity Zinta, this is my and all preity zinta fan's request Rahul Oberoi rahul@yahoo.com Article Submitted by Bollywood Sargam visitor Rahul

BIPS FLOURISHES WITH RONALDOThis is what Bipasha had to say about her and Ronaldo’s lip lock news, “All the joy of that meeting with my favorite football macho has evaporated. For God’s sake, that photograph just cannot be taken seriously! Is that how newspapers define a lip-lock? I’m horrified. Suddenly, because of that photograph, I am internationally famous. But do I want fame at this cost? The photograph is not doctored, obviously somebody clicked us on a cellphone, but we were just dancing in a crowded disco. This is not a kiss! I cannot even say I was drunk and don’t know when and how this happened.Ronaldo had leaned over to say something in my ear, and the camera caught him at that inopportune moment, that’s what this is. I don’t need to explain my behaviour. I’m a free-spirited person. But I’m not footloose. It takes me a long time to become close to anyone. I’m certainly not some giddy-headed teenager who would get so carried away in Ronaldo’s company that I’d kiss him in public

Mira Nair’s next directorial project “The Namesake ” that is based of Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel with the same name will have its world wide release in March, 07. Tabu, Irfan Khan and Kal Penn form the main star cast. But would you trust me if I say that for Mira, Tabu wasn’t the first choice to play the Kolkota-born Ashima in the novel. Mira had first approached Rani Mukherjee for the role of Ashima and had asked Abhishek Bachchan to play her son’s role. But because Abhishek was told that he will have to do a semi-nude scene and some kisses, he retracted from the project and Rani followed the suit (for reasons unknown). Well…I don’t think Abhishek has a clean record of no on-screen kisses! But he better follow the rule he has set for his would-be wife Ash. And for Rani…I am amazed that she dropped such a good project. But then to think of it Mira wouldn’t have got a fine actress as Tabu to play the role of Ashima

She is indeed made it to the elite circles ollywoodWorld.com, Unprecedented sparks are going to fly between Priyanka Chopra and Hrithik Roshan in “Agneepath” and its producer Karan Johar says the two have not got so intense with anyone before.
“The new ‘Agneepath’ is first and foremost an intense love story. There was love between Priyanka and Hrithik in ‘Krissh’. But here we want an unparalleled intensity between them. You’ve never seen Priyanka and Hrithik get so intense with anyone before,” said Karan Johar who is producing the film.
The camaraderie between Hrithik and Priyanka is so palpable that Karan Johar gets a sense of deja vu. As a child on his father Yash Johar’s sets of “Agneepath” in 1990 Amitabh Bachchan and Madhavi shared the same vibes as Priyanka and Hrithik.
“All I can tell you at the moment is that Priyanka is not playing a nurse like Madhavi in the original and she is not playing a prostitute either. Yes, we’ve built on the original relationship between Amit uncle and Madhaviji,” he added.
Directed by Mukul. S. Anand, the original “Agneepath” was produced by Karan’s late father Yash Johar and Amitabh had won the National Awards for his performance in it.
“Hrithik and Priyanka don’t believe in half-measures. If they’ve to convey intense feelings and passion they will go the whole hog in ‘Agneepath’. If in ‘Krissh’ they romanced innocently keeping the kids in mind, their togetherness in ‘Agneepath’ will be for adults only,” said a source.
Karan was just a teenager when his father had produced the original ‘Agneepath’. He still remembers the fantastic rapport between Mr. Bachchan and Madhavi. That relationship, Karan and his ‘Agneepath’ remake’s director Karan Malhotra felt, needed to be developed.
“The Hrithik-Priyanka bonding in the new ‘Agneepath’ will build on the relationship that Karan had seen between Mr. Bachchan and Madhavi in the original ‘Agneepath’. The love story would be the core of the film,” added the source.Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan are in news again. Once again media speculation has become ambitious enough to predict that the golden couple is expecting a baby!!! Surprised? Well, the news can be true as Ash dear has cancelled her trip to New York where her wax statue from

daily news of bollywood





You've played Lucky in all the three parts of the 'Golmaal' series. What would you say is the difference between Lucky in all the three parts?
Lucky in the first part is a little mischievous, in the second part he is playing an innocent character because he is trying to save his sister's marriage, in the third part we have kept that innocence, but at the same time he is an aggressive and angry character. I mean, he is a little short tempered. So Lucky is a different character in all the three movies, at the same time there is a similarity that he is very cute and very loveable.
Was there any reference point to Lucky, when you heard about his character?
When I heard the script I have a reference in my mind.. why is Lucky the way he is? How would his reactions be, what would be the level of his aggression that is something that I work it out in my mind. At the same time I've kept it similar to the other parts. Lucky should not be totally out of character. There should be a certain amount of consistency that I have shown in the earlier two parts and in 'Golmaal 3' too. At the same time the shades that are new need to be bought in to the performance also.
What do you think are Rohit Shetty's strong points as a director? As a director?
The strongest point of Rohit Shetty is that he is very organised, he is very clear and he is super fast. I mean with so many actors in such a big film. He doesn't waste time, he has finished this film and both the other 'Golmaals' also in record time without any delays, without any overshoots, without any reshoots.
You've worked with Kareena Kapoor, what do you like about her as a friend and a co actor
As a friend she is a very honest peron and loyal person. She's a warm person and a lot of fun. As a co actor she doesn't compromise on her 'look', on her clothes. She is a thorough professional. She is very punctual and doesn't interfere in other people's work which I think is a good plus point.
You've also worked with Ajay Devgan, two time National Award winning actor. What have you picked up from an artiste of his calibre?
From Ajay, I have learnt you should be serious about your work and at the same time you should learn to enjoy your work also. Ajay is a very fun loving guy. He has shown me the way to be serious at the same time, to be chilled out and have a good time.
You're also working with a senior actor like Mithunda, who's worked with your dad also
I have worked with him in an earlier film also, but there I didn't have a relation with him. But here he is playing my father and I think he is a brilliant serious actor and also a brilliant comic actor. He is very hard working and is too much fun. He cracks jokes all the time; he is always creating some mischief or the other. All in all, he is a very balanced person; he balances his hard work and enjoyment very well.
What qualities do you think are necessary to be a good comic actor?Comedy is serious business, so to be a good comic actor you have to take your wok very seriously. One must enjoy the scene, enjoy the moment. It is important to have a sense of humour to be a good comic actor. You need to have the ability to laugh when you watch a film. If you can laugh at a joke... you are able to create a joke also when you're making comedy films. It is important to be a well rounded person and sincere.Which is your favorite scene in 'G3' and the most difficult one too?
My favorite scene in the movie is the most difficult scene. It's an emotional scene. For the first time, Lucky has an emotional scene, an emotional outburst with the other characters. That is my favorite scene; it was very challenging and a very well shot scene. It gave me a chance to show myself as a mute character and show an emotional outburst with so many characters other than myself.
Amid all the fun and laughter, is there any message in 'Golmaal 3'?ticular social message as such. This film is made for total entertainment, to liven up your spirits. Entertainment is the biggest social issue. It deals with that people have so much stress in their lives. A film like 'Golmaal 3' will come and take their stress away. This is the best we can do for society through this film.Have you done any stunts in this film like Kareena and Ajay have?
Yes I have done a major stunt in my introduction shot. It's an open jeep shot. I had to drive over a ramp of cars, and there were three slopes, the right side was fully open. That was a very dangerous stunt and I had to do it two to three times for different camera set ups. That stunt was done entirely by me with no harness and no cabling.
Do you feel that 'Golmaal 4' could also happen soon?BollywoodWorld.comm, – Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan came face-to-face with his wax figure at Madame Tussuads London. Hrithik who was accompanied by parents, father Rakesh Roshan, mother Pinky, grandfather J Om Prakash, wife Sussanne and their two sons, dedicated the honour to his family.
“I am thrilled that my entire family is with me sharing this wonderful moment. More than the wax figure it’s a matter of emotions and pride that my family is there to see all this today. It is made up of what I have received from my parents, grandparents, sister and wife. They have made me what I am. I dedicate this to my family,” he said. Photos of Hrithik Roshan wax statue at Madame Tussauds BollywoodWorld.comm, – Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan came face-to-face with his wax figure at Madame Tussuads London. Hrithik who was accompanied by parents, father Rakesh Roshan, mother Pinky, grandfather J Om Prakash, wife Sussanne and their two sons, dedicated the honour to his family.

Photos of Hrithik Roshan wax statue at Madame Tussauds
People like 'Golmaal 1' so we made 'Golmaal 2', people liked that too and so now we made 'Golmaal 3'. So as long as people like the 'Golmaal' series we will keep making more and more.
But you are a bit handicapped by the fact that Lucky has no dialogues in the 'Golmaal' series…
No, I love the way this character has beendecided and designed because he is not just a silent character, he makes sounds and there is a lot of scope as far as improvisation is concerned. I love playing Lucky and people have accepted this character, so when I do 'Golmaal' I would love to play Lucky.
Any real life and funny incidents that occurred on the sets during the filming of 'G3'?There are lots of incidents. We just had agreat time! We had fun, and we would pull pranks on each other. We were just like a big family, just coming and having a paid vacation of a time. 'Golmaal' is like a big family and I am not saying this as I am promoting my film I am saying this because I have worked with everybody on this film for three to four times.
What are the future set of releases that one is going to see you in?There's U…Mr Kalakaar,' a romantic film where I am playing an artist who falls in love with the management trainee played by Amrita Rao. 'Shor' is a serious slice of life movie where I am paying a petty criminal. There are three stories in the film and I'm playing the protagonist in one of the stories. So you could say it is my first off beatish kind of a film and then I'm also doing 'Run Bhola Run' which is a mad comedy.Shahid not dancing with Priyanka
Priyanka Chopa and Shahid Kapoor are the atest couple to sizzle around the industry. Well it was recently reported that Shahid has opted out of the IIFA Awards 2009, where he was supposed to perform with Priyanka from their upcoming film Kaminey.
Shahid is busy with his commitment for Ken Ghosh's flick. On the other side, Priyanka too is busy shooting in Singapore for Yash Raj movie Pyaar Impossible.
“Priyanka very eager to perform on the song from Kaminey [^] but due to her prior commitments to Yash Raj, she won’t be performing this year,” says a person close to the actress.
It was also reported that Priyanka will be giving a miss to the Awards. “Well she is busy but then she decided to attend the function and return back to her shoot later. She doesn’t have time to rehearse and perform but will be attending the awards,” concludes the source.

The 37-year-old Indian Bollywood actress’ friends and people whom she has worked with reflect on their relationship with her and recount many untold stories.
mrita singh was born into a distinguished Punjabi Sikh family which hailed from the village of Hadali in present-day Pakistan. Her father Shivinder Singh served in the army; her moher, Rukhsana sultana, a renowned socialite of muslim birth, is perhaps best known for her political activism during the emergency era. Amrita's paternal great-grandfather, Sir Sobha Singh, was a noted civil contractor who not only made a substantial fortune during the building of New Delhi in the early decades of the 20th century, but also received a knighthood for his efforts. His younger son, and Amrita's paternal grand-uncle, is the renowned litterateur Khushwant Singh. In 1991, Amrita abruptly gave up acting in order to build a family with the somewhat younger actor, Saif Ali Khan, who incidentally belonged to the princely family of Pataudi. The couple had two children: a daughter named Sara and a son named Ibrahim. Saif, who for over a decade had languished at the fringes of bollywood as a perennial aspirant, finally delivered a succession of hit film in the period 2001-04. The couple were separated in 2004; Amrita now lives with her two young children. Amrita made her bollywood debut in 1983 with a vastly successful film in which she paired with the debutant Sunny Deol. This was quickly followed by a succession of hits, such as "Sunny" in (1984); "Mard" and "Saaheb" in (1985); "Chameli Ki Shaadi" and "Naam" in (1986); "Khudgarz" in (1987), and so on. Amrita made a successful pair in several films not only with Sunny Deol, her co-debutant, but also with Anil Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan, two leading heroes of that era. After her wedding in 1991, Amrita undertook virtually no new film commitments; however, she ventured into negative roles in this period, a novelty for a bollywood actress. The superhit "Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman" (1992) wherein Shahrukh Khan got his first acting break, and "Aaina" (1993) were those in which she essayed such roles. These successes did not dissuade her from her resolve to retire into family life, and Amrita disappeared from the marquees after 1993. She returned to acting in 2005 with a character role in a television serial.
Aishwarya recently threw a surprise party for her husband Abhishek Bachchan’s 35th He is currently shooting an Indian remake of The Italian Job, and was joined on location by his wife and his castmates to indulge in a three tier chocolate cake from a local NeZealand bakery during lunch.

Apart from Dev Anand's acting, the film's music was a rage with scintillating like "Main Zindagi Ka Saath" and "Abhi Na Jao Chod Kar".In an industry first, Aamir Khan presented Dhobi Ghat to Peepli [Live] fans before the premiere and the shows for the media and the industry. Aamir Khan held a special screening for 50 lucky winners from across the country of the Peepli [Live] DVD contest. The first public screening of Dhobi Ghat was hosted by Aamir Khan Productions and Excel Home Entertainment on 17th January, 2011 at Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai.
Well, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan does own the sweetest and the prettiest face in Bollywod. So, it did not come as a surprise when grafting expert and Padmashree horticulturist Haji Kaleemullah Khan decided to name his new discovery, a sweeter variety of guava after this actress. The fruit resembles an apple in texture and is sweeter in smell and has more pulp with softer seeds.
“The new variety of guava is very different inDeepika Padukone is one actress who paired opposite many heroes comfortably. After Deepika Padukone-Farhan Akhtar, Deepika-Imran, Deepika-Neil Nitin Mukesh and Deepika-Abhishek, the actress is now set to make a screen pair with Shahid Kapoor in Sabir Khan’s ‘Heer and Ranjha’. Sabir has already assisted in movies like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and directed the disastrous Kambakht Ishq.
Now, Deepika Padukone is quite tall and is always conscious that she would look taller than her hero. Before the shooting of Karthik Calling Karthik, Farhan Akhtar had to actually stand next to her, and show her that he can match her height. However Sabir is quick to explain and says, “I don’t think it really makes a difference if the leading lady is taller than the hero.
“We opted for Deepika Padukone because we needed a face that could look and classical. Among the current line-up of actresses, only she could measure up to my script’s demands. As for Shahid, he’s an intense actor. I’m positive this pair can project the pangs of passionate love,” he added.We, on our part, are waiting eagerly to see this fresh pair create magic on the screen. taste, smell and look from the traditional and normal varieties grown in the country,” Kaleemullah told adding, “It took almost eight years to develop this unique variety of guava and no chemical fertiliser or pesticide was used in developing the same.”
“All measures were taken to ensure that the product is free from any possible side effect which chemical fertilizer or pesticide may have on fruits. One can get as many as 72 fruits on a 3.7 foot long tree”, Kaleemullah said
In fact, Kaleemullah used Neem Oil as a pesticide to keep this unique guava free of any chemicals. Kaleemullah is known for growing unique variety of fruits especially mangoes. This Lucknow-based agriculturist has no formal qualification in agriculture but has immense knowledge on the subject. In May last year, the 70-year-old Khan grafted a new variety of mango, which he named after batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
“I am a 7th standard dropout and have been looking after the family business since 1957. My family’s record in this business goes back to 150 years. I am more interested in developing different varieties on a single tree and began the multiple grafting process,” he said.
Kaleemullah won the Padmashree for growing more than 300 varieties of mangoes of different shapes and sizes on one tree. The tree is about 100 years old and he started working on it in 1987 to develop the craft of growing different varieties on one tree.

“Haunted is my most challenging and fulfilling film. The challenge began from the scripting stage itself because we had to visualize the country’s first next generation stereoscopic 3D film. It was all new. The style was new and the technology was new.
“We had to acquaint ourselves with the technology, learn it, to adapt it. That was a major feat and I must thank the entire technical team. We would never have been able to achieve this unique milestone in Indian cinema without them,” Bhatt told reporters here at the launch of the first look of the film.
The film is slated to release April 15 and stars Mahakshay Chakraborty, actor Mithun Chakraborty’s son along with newcomer Tia Bajpai. The technical crew of “Haunted” comprises of Brent Roinson, Christan Jeams, Cassidey and Michael Reuben Flax.

Lucky Number for Jersey: 27Vidya BalanThis is a featured pageVidya BalanBiographyVidya Balan is a Tamilian from Kerala. She is from the Iyer community. She comes from a middleclass family from Palghat, on the border of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Vidya did her schooling from St Antony's School and later on joined St Xavier's College from where she graduated in sociology.
When she was doing her MA from Mumbai University, she was offered a role in a Malayalam film titled Chakram with Mohanlal, one of Vidya’s favorite actors. However, the project was shelved mid-way and Vidya had to wait for few more years to make her movie debut.
She made her debut as a model in a Surf Excel advertisement in 1998. She has acted in scores of ad films, most of which were directed by Pradeep Sarkar.
A couple of months later, she featured in three music videos (again directed by Sarkar) for ‘Euphoria’, Shubha Mudgal and Pankaj Udhas.
Vidya Balan started work as an actress in the Malayalam movie Chakram, paired against Mohanlal, however the film was abandoned mid-way through production. After making her debut in television advertising as a model for a Surf Excel advertisement in 1998, she proceeded to do over 25 TV ads, (mostly directed by Pradeep Sarkar), followed with a variety of acting stints in music videos (Euphoria, Shubha Mudgal and Pankaj Udhas), Hindi TV soap operas (Hanste Khelte and Hum Paanch) and a Bengali movie, Bhaalo Theko, for which she won the Best Actress Anand Lok Puraskar award in Kolkata.
Hanste Khelte and Ektaa Kapoor's Hum Paanch.In the meantime, she acted in Bengali movie Bhalo Theko with actor Joy Sengupta. She even won the ‘best actress’ Anand Lok Puraskar in Kolkata for her performance in the movie.
It was in Mumbai, during a pop concert, when filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra approached her to play the female lead in his movie Parineeta, to be directed by Pradeep Sarkar.
Vidya had to go through 40 screen tests and 17 make-up shoots before she was finally chosen for the lead role in the film. Vidya has a very traditional Indian look in contrast to most of today's Bollywood starlets. She is associated with AmFar (Americans for AIDS Research) and Hale House, a home for children born with HIV and those affected by Drug Addiction. She also involves herself with the Harvard AIDS Institute, by Hosting Forums and participating in events throughout the year. No wonder that Vidya Balan is one of themost talked about names in Bollywood today.
Chris Gayle - September 21, 1979As 3 and 4 are not great with each other so not much is expected from him this year. His name comes to number 27 and is sync with him but because his ajna chakra has become anti clockwise, thus he has lost his focus. Further deep red aura color has made him manifest fear of losing his position. Not a good year.

To Dev Saab's shock and annoyance both Sadhana and Nanda declined the invitation to attend the premiere.
A senior actress, who is close to both Nanda and Sadhana, defends her colleagues' elusiveness. "Dev Saab personally invited them. But neither Nanda nor Sadhana is attending. I tried to convince them to go since it's a big moment for them both. Hum Dono was a turning point in their careers. But they are much too nervous of crowds. Unlike Dev Saab who enjoys public appearances and interaction with fans Sadhana and Nanda are away from the limelight. Sadly they missed out on this glorious moment."
Euphoric with the attendance and ovation at the premiere Dev Saab expressed regret at his two leading ladies' absence from the premiere
Said the indefatigable star, "The turn-out was heartwarming. All four screens were packed. It's a pity that Nanda and Sadhana could not be there. Nanda said she was unwell…I think they were shy. When you're away from the limelight for so long the clamorous adoring crowds can become a bit too much to handle. I intend to send them a bouquet each. After all Hum Dono is a triumph for them as well."
It's really nice to know what success does to people. After the success of films like Damini, Ghayal the proverbial 'dhaai kilo ka haath' only became more and strong with every passing film.
But the BO results of the latest blockbuster Yamla Pagla Deewana have changed it all. The'dhaai kilo ka haath' image has now given way to a very soft spoken Sunny Deol, who is now all set to play the role of a ... hold your breath... a Sanskrit teacher!
No wonder then, Sunny has started 'sporting' a dhoti, the tikka and the moustache these days. The film is called Mohalla 80 and is being directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, who shot to overnight fame with the television series of 'Chanakya', followed by the film Pinjar.
Sunny Deol, for whom learning Sanskrit has become a priority, expressed his desire to Bollywood Hungama that his dream role was that of his father Dharmendra's Satyakam. Sunny is confident that Mohalla 80 will prove to be a Satyakam for him.
The said film is slated for an August 2011 release.   IN FEAURESSort by : Whats New - Most Rated - Most Popular - Most Emailed
3 reasons why Hum Dono didn't find audience Click here to add this article to My Clips
By Joginder Tuteja, February 7, 2011 - 14:03 ISTThe weekend gone by saw the re-release of Hum Dono in a coloured version with enhanced picture quality and sound. Though Dev Anand was understandably gung-ho about the event, eventually Hum Dono Rangeen (the new title of the film) just turned out to be a show of goodwill for him with the industry coming in unison on its arrival, 50 years since it's release. However, the box office told a different tale with audience not quite driving in hordes to catch it in theatre.
The makers may have thought that just like Mughal-E-Azam (which had re-released a few years earlier in a coloured version) or Sholay (which has been re-released a number of times already), even Hum Dono would manage to find an audience for itself. However, when compared to Mughal-E-Azam which had seen good success coming it's way on it's re-release 6 years ago, Hum Dono Rangeen didn't find any takers.
There are three main reasons for that. First and foremost, there was hardly any promotion due to which audience was unaware if Hum Dono Rangeen had actually released in theatres. Yes, Dev Anand did hot a premiere for the film and also reached out to the public via a few interviews and appearances etc. However, in the times of an aggressive in-your-face promotion, this wasn't good enough.
Secondly, Hum Dono was not a classic but just a good film. It was loved when released; it had also done well at the box office. However, it didn't have the kind of shelf life as the likes of Mughal-E-Azam or Sholay and wasn't enjoying multiple re-runs on satellite or via home video.
Thirdly, and most importantly, it is not a big screen extravaganza a la Mughal-E-Azam or Sholay that would have brought audience in dozens to theatres. Both films were hardcore entertainers and had number of factors (action sequences, romance, memorable dialogues etc.) that were enough to entice audience to check these out again. Hum Dono too had hit songs and powerful performances as its selling points. However, number of reasons as stated above meant that audience were not inclined enough to re-live the dream that Dev saab carried.
Aishwarya surprises AbhishNew Zealand, Feb 7 : With Players' filming schedule moving right on track, Bollywood's popular couple took time off to celebrate Abhishek Bachchan's 35th birthday in New Zealand's charming, hillside harbour city, Wellington on Saturday night.
On location to film the Indian remake of The Italian Job, Bachchan's early birthday surprise arrived when wife Aishwarya Rai flew in to spend time with her star-stud hubby and make this day extra special.
With an indulgent three tier chocolate cake from a local New Zealand bakery in tow, birthday boy Bachchan Junior was joinedby his wife and some of his castmates for a little cake cutting celebration at lunchtime on the sets of the film in Wellington.
Later that evening, director duo Abbas Mustan organized a party for the entire filming crew at their hotel in Wellington. Those present were AB, Aishwarya Rai, Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Omi Vaidya, Sikander Kher, Action Director Alan Amin, DoP Ravi Yadav and many others.
While the fun didn't stop early, some of the stars took the party to the streets as they headed out for a fun evening at Wellington's city centre where over 30,000 kiwi rugby fans, dressed in costumes, were celebrating their victory in the NZI Sevens rugby tournament.
A little birthday get-together quickly turned into a fully charged, exciting night out of town amidst Wellington's bustling hub of restaurants, bars and vibrant nightlife for the birthday boy and his cast mates.
I'm eager to know Kajol's reaction to my work in 'Dil To Bachcha Hai': ShahzaNew Delhi, Feb 6 : Her muchyped debut with ashraj Films' 'Rocket Singh' may have failed to win her attention in Bollywood despite being paired opposite current heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, but Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Dil To Bachcha Hai' has proved to be 'second time lucky' for newcomer Shahzahn Padamsee.
Shahzahn's portrayal of the cute and bubbly June Pinto who makes Bank executive Naren's (played by Ajay Devgn) heart go aflutter in the film has been lved by cinegoers as well as critics.
Though the upcoming actress is naturally ecstatic at the response that the film and her role have generated, there is one person whose reaction Shahzahn eagerly awaits - her favourite actress Kajol.
Shahzahn says that among the 90s actresses, Kajol is someone she looks up to as her inspiration
''I love her (Kajol). She's magic. I have no words to describe her. If I can be even one per cent of her, I would consider myself lucky. I am really eager to see what she thinks of my performance in 'Dil To Bachcha Hai',''Shahzahn told UNI in an interview here.
About her role of June Pinto in the film, Shahzahn says it is a dream role for any actress.June Pinto is a dream role for any young actress. It is a very amazing character. In fact, there is a lot of Shahzahn in June. Like June, I too am a high energy bubbly girl in real life,''the actress said.
In fact, Shahzahn said she is looking to do characters similar to June Pinto.High energy and bubbly is what I am and I would love to play characters of similar girls. One role that I would love to play is that essayed by Kareena Kapoor in 'Jab We Met',''she said.
Though hers was quite a promising debut in 'Rocket Singh', a film made under the Yashraj Films banner and where she was paired opposite the current heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, the lukewarm response to the film proved to be a speed breaker in her career in Bollywood.
''After 'Rocket Singh', I did not get many offers. so, I went down South where I did two films one of which is a big Telugu hit called 'Orange' where I was paired opposite Superstar Chiranjeevi's Son Ramsharan. though my role in 'Orange' was a brief one, the appreciation that I got for the role was quite amazing. Seeing the response that I have got from the South, I plan to do at least one Telugu film every year,''Shahzahn said.
Daughter of adman Alique Padamsee and singer actor Sharon Prabhakar, Shahzahn says she is in Bollywood for a long haul.
''I am very focused about my work. I am a very ambitious girl and definitely would want to make it big in films,''she said.
Asked about her forthcoming ventures, Shahzahn said she was in talks with a couple of film makers but would only like to reveal details after anything is finalised. Jayalalithaa asks PM to break silence on scams
Chennai, Feb 9 : AIADMK general secretary J. Jayalalithaa Wednesday asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to speak up on the major corruption scams that have rocked the country.
Referring to a controversial deal between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Devas Multimedia, she said: "It is a national shame that scams running to lakhs of crores of rupees are tumbling out of the UPA government's closet with monotonous regularity.
"How the prime minister, an economist of repute, can be a silent accomplice to such gross misdemeanours is beyond me," the former Tamil Nadu chief minister said in a statement.
The agreement relates to ISRO's launching of two satellites for Devas that allegedly brought huge benefits to the company at the cost of the national exchequer. ISRO has said no loss accrued from the deal.
"Manmohan Singh has to break his silence and come clean. Otherwise the people will lose faith in the central government and the nation will become a laughing stock before the whole world," Jayalalithaa said.
She said a thorough inquiry had to be initiated to find out how precious national resources were so flippantly being frittered away and who the real beneficiaries of such largesse were.
The government is also probing allegations that its former communications minister A. Raja gave away second generation spectrum at below the market prices. Raja is now in custody.
The Manmohan Singh government has also been hit charges of major financial irregularities in the organization of the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi in October.

By Bollywood Hungama News Network, February 7, 2011 - 18:28 ISAkshay Kumar, Usman QuresIn the forthcoming biggie Patiala House, viewers will get to see a young Akshay Kumar as well. Yes, a young actor named Usman Qureshi who bears an uncanny resemblance to the superstar will seen playing a teen Akshay in the film.
Apparently, director Nikhil Advani was on hunt for a young guy who would play the role of 17 year Akshay Kumar in his film Patiala House. It seems that was quite a long hunt as under no circumstances he wanted to compromise.
However, when he met Usman Qureshi, he was stunned by the similarity and Usman was on board in the first meeting itself. It seems the resemblance between Usman Qureshi and Akshay Kumar was so prominent that the entire team was thrilled to have him on the sets and gifted him with a special nick name 'Akki Junior'.
Producer Bhushan Kumar says, "We were completely bowled over by the striking resemblance between the two- Akshay and Usman. And after the screen tbhash K. Jha, 2011 - 11:38 ISTDev Anand From Aamir Khan-Kiran Rao to Shabana Azmi-Javed Akhtar, Shatrughan Sinha, Naseeuddin Shah to Ranbir Kapoor...the entire who's who of the film fraternity turned up for the premiere of Dev Anand's Hum Dono on Thursday night. Except for the two leading ladies. While one of them Nanda begged off saying she was unwell when Dev Anand called her personally, the other leading lady Sadhana apparently didn't even take Dev Saab's call!
It is an unwritten rule in the Indian film industry that no one ever says no to Dev Anand. That rule just changed. Two of Dev Saab's former co-stars,the legendary but alas reclusive Sadhana and Nanda who played the two heroines in the 1961 blockbuster drama Hum Dono declined to attend the premier of the classic's colorized digital version of the classic that is being revived with much fanfare and gusto.
Most excited of all was of course the film's leading man the indefatigable Dev Anand who plays a double role opposite Sadhana and Nanda. Apparently the ebullient evergreen hero personally called up his two Hum Dono divas asking them to be present by his side at the joyous revival of the classic, not thinking for second they would turn down his invitation.
est, without a doubt we found our 17 year old Akshay for Patiala Huse in Usman. It is not easy to play a younger role of such a superstar but Usman has done a great job."
Akshay Kumar was equally surprised and excited on seeing the resemblance and they also discovered that they had a common scar on the eyebrow. Akshay even admitted that his body structure and body type was quite like Usman when he was 17 years old.
Looks like viewers will indeed be in for a treat as they get to see both Akki Senior and Akki Junior in Patiala House which releases all over, this Friday, Feb 11, 2011.
