The LNJ Bhilwara group has signed on Bollywood star Salman Khan as its new brand ambassador for its Mayur Suitings (‘Mayur’ had once become the middle name of SRK who was called Shahrukh Mayur Khan). Group Joint Managing Director Riju Jhunjhunwala said, “We are proud to have Salman Khan as our brand ambassador who is the perfect fit for the brand and enjoys a great aspirational connect with consumers across all segments.” The campaign closes with the signature tagline – ‘Stars ki Pasand’!

Salman said, “I have always been particular about my looks and the clothes I wear. Mayur Suitings is a great and dynamic brand that offers everything that I have been looking for. Their fabric is smooth, comfortable, elegent and adds to my style. I am honored to be associated to this brand and ‘am looking forward to being closely involved with it”.

When Salman was asked if he was following SRK, he added smartly, “I am not following Shahrukh. It is he who is following me.”

Bollywood’s legendary singer Asha Bhosle is one person who knows how to adapt with the changing times and to grasp the pulse of the mass. The ‘Asha and Friends’ album from Mauj is a huge success. Sanjay Dutt, Urmila Matondkar, Brett Lee and the Zee Lil’ Champs were part of this album singing along with the legendary Asha Bhosle. All the four songs from Asha and Friends ‘Aap Ke Dil Mein’, ‘Haan Mein Tumhara Hoon’, ‘Mehbooba Dilruba’ and ‘Zamane Mein Aaye’ are huge hits with the first three being chartbusters in their first week of the video release.

The team gathered at the Andheri branch of China Gate to celebrate its success along with the opening of the restaurant. A lot of known personalities were there to adorn the party including Hariharan, Shan, Ismail Darbar and the likes.

Asha praises all her co-singers. “At the end of the day their singing took me by surprise as well. Sanju’s voice has so much baritone that it can give a complex to many male singers. Urmila was a revelation. Her open throated voice reminds us of Shamshad Begum,” says Ashaji. She also advised Urmila to launch her own music album.

Ghazal legend Jagjit Singh loved Urmila’s singing. “She is brilliant. I am stunned by her ability to sing. I only thought that she was a great actress,” says Singh.

Actor Saif Ali Khan was admitted in cardiac intensive care unit of Lilavati Hospital at quarter past ten on Sunday night after he complained of chest pain.

Khan, 36, is now in a stable condition. “He had chest pain. It was not a mild heart attack. An angiography (test) was done yesterday,” said spokeswoman Vaishali Rajpara, adding that she could not divulge more details about his medical condition. All his well-wishers visited Saif as soon as they got the news, including sister Soha Ali Khan, Big B, Aishwarya Rai, Preity Zinta, Fardeen Khan, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Kunal Kohli and so on.

“We just want him to get lots of rest,” said Khan’s mother, Sharmila Tagore. In March last year, Khan underwent an emergency appendicitis operation in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he was shooting a television commercial.

Kangana may be in the midst of a controversy regarding her relationship with Aditya Pancholi right now, but the actress is not one to shrink from such incidents. In fact, even when she received threats soon after the acid attack on her sister, she was offered extra security while shooting, but the actress refused the safety measure. Must say, this is one actress who is not afraid to face her demos by herself.

Since all you John-Bipasha fans have been wondering when they would get together again on screen to re-create their Jism magic, here’s some good news. Vivek Agnihotri is the man who has carried off that much sought after coup, and has cast them together in his film Goal. We don’t know whether john and Bipasha have any sizzling scenes together once again – but we are sure if vivek is a smart filmmaker, that will definitely be his ‘goal’.

Her career graph is on the upturn, and Payal Rohatgi is making sure that it says that way. Her modus operandi? Follow the cue of your director to the T. So while shooting for Priyadarshan’s Dhol, the director was pleasantly surprised at Payal’s unconditional obedience, and of course a little amused at her penchant for taking him literally, we are sure. Now let’s hope he doesn’t play a prank on her – Payal could be just asking for it!

Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra’s cat fight has been painting the gossip columns red these days. Kareena ‘Poo’ Kapoor has accused that Priyanka’s character in her latest flick ‘Salaam-e-Ishq’ has been inspired from her character in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’. Now, a new lady claims that it not the Kareena’s character, but her character which has been portrayed in the film. And the lady who claims it is none other than our item girl Rakhi Sawant. However Rakhi’s allegations have a very weak base as she herself admits that she has not seen the movie as yet, but people have been saying so.

After ‘Big Boss’, Rakhi seems very confident these days. She says, “I am very talented and confident. You have seen me as an item girl, but I can perfectly play Meena Kumari’s role as well. If given a chance, I can make everyone laugh and cry at the same time with my performance. And I will do it coz I have the talent.”

Known for her flamboyance and never ending zeal. Preity Zinta has yet again proved that she can teac a thing or two to Bollywood’s macho superstars or even a certain Rani when it comes to obliging her fand. Recently, the charming actress not only unveiled a set of scented stamps with her trademark zing but also promised to use them while replying back to her fan mails! You are ‘Fan’-Tastic Preity.

Goldie Behl’s forthcoming action movie ‘Drona’ is being speculated as Abhishek’s answer to Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Krrish’. ‘Drona’ has Abhi playing a superhero with superhuman qualities. The movie will feature Abhishek’s some very risky stunts and action sequences along with lots of special effects. Abhishek has donned a very new look for the movie with long hairs and slim figure. Anaita Shroff is doing Abhi’s styling in the flick.

Priyanka plays Abhi’s bodyguard trained in martial arts. Now, the paradox churning our mind is that if Abhi plays a superhero, why does he need a female bodyguard in the film?

The film’s producer Shrishti Arya is not willing to reveal anything about the movie’s storyline.

You’ve seen her in ‘American Desi’ and ‘Green Card Fever’, and now, New York girl, Purva Bedi, management consultant-turned-actor, will take the scary plunge and come out of the cinematic closet with Manan Katohara’s cross-cultural film ‘When Kiran met Karan’ based on inter-racial lesbian relationships.

“There is no reason to stop creating art about a subject simply because it is a taboo. In fact, it’s just the opposite,” insists Bedi. Here’s a beauty daring to break the mould!

Gues who’s the latest star to join the fitness brigade? It’s none other than Bollywood actress Rani Mukherji, who apparently has not only started working out religiously but has also started eating right. To keep up with the much demanding glam world, the actor, we hear, has been consuming mostly calorie-free products, besides her rigorous workouts at the gym. And the result is there for all to see.
