In order to get a super sexy figure, Koina Mitra resorted to dieting. She did get a sexy figure (does anybody require a proof?), but she also got Kidney’s stone alongwith it. It is the second time she had to take bed rest this year. After getting health problems, Koina had started taking high protein diet that further aggravated the situation. Doctors had to prescribe complete bed rest for her.

This sexy bong babe started her career on the right note. No, we are not talking about the numerous controversies that put her in the spotlight, in fact, Tanushree Dutta has worked with established filmmakers and good co-stars from the begnning. Of course, she was first spotted in a music video but the gal made it clear, “I am not here to be an item gal.” Now the gal is sizzling in the number Signal pyar ka signal and Bhagam Bhaag that’s racing on top of the music charts. Whatever she says, we think that’s quite a signal for her to do more such items. Now she can’t run away from it for too long, can she?

What was supposed to be a couple of days’ break for Hrithik Roshan turned out to be a slightly longer vacation – all thanks to the perfectionist Ashutosh Gowarikar. Hrithik took a quick break to attend a recent function at Malaysia, and was supposed to rush back to Jodhpur where he is shooting for Akbar Jodha. But gowarikar wanted to add finishing touches to the sets of the film, to bring more authenticity to it. Not that Hrithik is complaining, a little more bonding time with his baby roshan is always welcome. Right Papa Roshan?

Germs beware…if there is one ‘body’ that you are not getting close to Mallika’s. The sexy lady credits her robust health to a dedicated round of exercise each day. And what’s more, she also advocates it to anyone calling her with a complaint of any ailment. Recently a  journo spoke to her and casually mentioned his ‘viral attack’. This sent Mallika into a ‘spiral attack’ of her own. “Don’t vlame the weather, the pollution and diet – it’s all due to lack of exercise. Just hit that gym and workout and Kis virus ki mazaal!” says mallika sherawat. Keeping Ms Sexy Sherawat’s great shape in mind, we will head that advice and pass it on to all you readers out there. But we are worried that it may spawn a new epidemic of ‘faked illness’ from a multitude of men. After all, everyone wants Mallika Sherawat to play doc or nurse to them.

The wheels have come a full-circle in Bollywood. Earlier it was the girls who were propositioned by lecherous producers and if tales are to be believed many top-rung heroines got their first break after spending some time on the casting couch.

But all that seems passé now. It’s the guys who are now facing the heat. There seems to be a lobby of powerful producers, designers, and directors whose sexual orientation is not straight. According to the grapevine, it is these guys who are literally becoming a pain in the backside for aspiring and established artists. Apart from the grapevine, even established film columnists like Bharati Pradhan have admitted that guys too have to be on the couch. Ouch! Two big names that come to mind when talking of such solicitation are Shah Rukh Khan and Rahul Roy.

There has been much speculation on who these powerful guys are – conjecture includes names like Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra, and Viveick Vaswani. It is said that even Shah Rukh Khan had to oblige a producer before his first break in “Fauji”. That was just a crummy TV serial. Think of what the cute-looking newcomers must be facing for a role in films where the stakes are so high.

Shah Rukh attracted further attention regarding his orientation when he did the Lux ad, appearing in a bathtub strewn with rose petals. We, at bollywood-stars.net feel that there should not be so much pressure on stars and instead of speculating we can make better use of our time or the next thing we know we will be talking about the closet lesbians in the film industry.

Today on 12th December we extend our warmest wishes to Thanga Thalaivar Rajnikant. The actor turns 54 today. Rajni started life as Shivaji Rao Gaekwad and like Johnny Walker worked as a bus conductor before his style and mannerisms attracted the attention of a guy from tinsel town. Rajnikant has over 149 films that include 25 films in Hindi. Although he has aged now, his superstar status remains and any film he touches turns into a surefire hit.

Rajnikant has the largest number of fan clubs in the world and is an icon even in far away Japan. His fans are planning to celebrate his birthday with great pomp. Those with access to Raj TV can access that channel to capture interesting programs on Rajni. Follow this link (http://www.rajinifans.com/detailView.asp?title=91) for more news on Rajni’s birthday. We found out a collection of great dialogues by Rajnikant. Check them over Here.

Tomorrow is 13th December and it will be 20 years to the day that Smita Patil left this world abruptly. Smita was married to Raj Babbar and died due to complications in childbirth. Smita was a dusky looker and her eyes could smoulder their way through the screen into the viewer’s hearts.

Smita was a trailblazer, an actress on caliber who could straddle the worlds of both commercial and art cinema. She excelled in films like Manthan, Nishant, and Arth which are now considered art house classics. At the same time she delivered powerhouse performances with Amitabh Bachchan in mainstream cinema in films like Namak Halal and Shakti. Two of the best songs of the eighties “Hum ne sanam ko khat likha” and “Aaj rapat jaye” were filmed on Smita. Smita’s healthy rivalry with Shabana Azmi would have surely added many more chapters to our film industry had it continued.

After Big B and Shahrukh Khan, it is Ayesha Takia who is going to play a host in “Sabse Favourite Kaun”. Ayesha says she thinks it would be fun to anchor the show. It is not the first time Ayesha is anchoring a show. She had hosted Disney Hour on the Disney channel at the age of thirteen. Ayesha says, “I talk a lot and I think I will just be myself on the show”.

Thirteen Bollywood stars on the ramp! The occasion was the music release of Salaam-e-ishq and the platform was the Salaam-e-ishq’s fashion show. All the stars of the movie rocked the stage with their style including John Abraham, Salman Khan, Govinda, Anil Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Ayesha Takia, Juhi Chawla, Isha Koppikar and Vidya Balan. David Dhawan and Bipasha Basu voted Govinda to be their favourite. Director David said, “I obviously have a soft corner for Govinda. He will always be my best.” Bipasha said, “It is the first time I’ll see Govinda on the ramp. I am looking forward to it.”

Celina Jaitley’s last release Apna Sapna Money Money was almost ironical. No, not the film, but her experience while shooting the film. “It was a very emotional time for me. I had just broken up with my boyfriend Sean Teague, and I was still trying to cope with it. And I had to go out there and shoot funny scenes. It was so ironical. But my director and co-stars were very supportive, so I sailed through it. So when I get compliments for the film now, I feel happier than usual, because the emotions attached to it are very different,” explains Celina Jaitley, in a very emotional Tone. Well as far as Celina is concerned, we don’t think the comedy flick was funny at all. But with all the compliments flowing in, we think she’s having the last laugh anyways!

While her sister Raima Sen may have delivered some great preformances, Riya sen too isn’t far behind. Although not known as such a serious actor as her sister, her fans will be surprised to know that Riya sen has been dabbling in films down soth too – and her last film there actually bagged 13 awards. Whew! At this rate we won’t be surprised if she competes with raima on the awards tally!

It is an age old argument – which school of actors perform better, the spontaneous actors or the method actors? Every actor has his or her opinion on the same depending on how they have been trained. Ask Priyanka Chopra what kind of an actor she is and she surprises you with her answer. “I have always said there are two kinds of actors – spontaneous actors and myself.” she quips, “I am still finding out what kind of actor I am.” For someone who has delivered hits consistently, this one surely doesn’t have her head up in the clouds!

Sameera Reddy says she knows no one called Harish Toprani. The name has been popping up in the gossip columns as the man whom Sameera’s been dating. Of course, Toprani is by no means the only guy she has been linked with. The sultry actress has been romantically linked with film maker Sanjay Gupta as well as to the southern superstar Junior NTR. However, Reddy vehemently denies all these relationships.
