Just a few weeks into the relationship, a hush-hush public acceptance of being in love, and the Saif-Kareena couple has already had it’s first spat.
It all happened at a nightclub in Mumbai in the party thrown by filmmaker Farhan Akhtar. Saif Ali Khan came in with his lady love in tow. Soon the duo had a heated argument with Saif saying ‘Shut Up!’ to Kareena. Kareena burst into tears feeling upset that Saif was treating her like this although she had dumped Shahid for him.
However, eventually the two made up and were seen in good cheer again and later left the party together.
Between the Sen sisters, the elder one, Riya Sen, is more bubbly, starry and sizzling, more like her mother Moonmoon Sen. The younger one, Raima Sen, is more sober and demure resembling her grandmother much more than either her mother or sister.
Since Raima does not have many movies in hand these days, she is taking up modeling assignments. Recently she walked the ramp for Archana Kocchar bridal collection. Looking stunningly beautiful clad in a bridal wear, Raima admitted being really nervous walking the ramp after a long time “At first I was really nervous and still am as I don’t really do this often,” she says.
Even after a dream debut with ‘Nishabd’ opposite none other than Big B, things were not happening much for Jiah Khan except A.R. Murugadoss’ remake of ‘Ghajini’ with Aamir Khan. Now she seems to have taken a step further with bagging in her first endorsement deal.
Jiah will be the brand ambassador of the international denim brand Wrangler Jeans, the clothing brand from VF-Arvind brands. She will now be joining the likes of Wrangler’s other brand ambassador, none other than the hunky John Abraham.
If you thought Priyanka Chopra could endorse only products like Lux and Kinetic scooty, divulge into this for a second. The lady is the new face of J. Hampstead, an international fabric male clothing brand brought in India by Siyaram’s in 1995. Here’s one actress who loves doing everything a man can including endorsing a men’s clothesline.
“Its a different point of view. Who better to tell what a man should wear than a female,” says Priyanka adding, “Brand ambassador of a men’s clothing brand, watch out men I’m coming!”
So does this mean that Bollywood’s men have to now worry about Priyanka grabbing all the attention and their endorsements?
Soon after the release of his debut movie, ‘Aap Ka Suroor’, actor-singer Himesh Reshammiya has been flooded with offers. First, Satish Kaushik signed Himesh to play Rishi Kapoor’s part in his remake of Subhash Ghai’s 1977 musical blockbuster ‘Karz’, in which Reshammiya will perform on his own songs (of course sans cap).
Again, Pooja Bhatt has picked him up for her 30-crore film ‘Kajraare’ being made in Morocco, Europe and Pakistan. Last but not the least, John Matthew Mathan has signed him up for his new musical ‘A Love Shshtory’ opposite former Miss India Niharika Singh. Himesh will be playing a Mumbai Tapori in the movie and Mathan wants Himesh to get the slang and swagger of the Tapori right and perfect. Well, All The Best Himesh!!
Bollywood beauties Malaika Arora Khan and Esha Deol may have turned down the offers to walk the ramp in a two-piece for the Ms. Bikini India contest, but actor Neetu Chandra promises to add a dash of glamour to the event. The ‘Garam Masala’ star has been roped in for a racy dance sequence at the contest, which will be held in Goa in December.
Twenty-two year old Chandra, who recently walked the ramp at the LFW for designers Rahul and Firdos is quick to clarify, “It’s a regular show, where I will perform hot western numbers and Bollywood song. I am not a participant and I am definitely not wearing a bikini.” Do I see some disappointed faces?
Pradeep Sarkar’s ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag’ saw Rani Mukherjee give an applaud able performance as a prostitute. Now, in the next Yashraj film she will be seen playing an angel descending to earth with a rather sweet and heartwarming mission.
This is by far the first angelic role of its kind and Rani seems to have taken her role a bit too seriously even going as far as to abstain from her favourite fish dishes to feel the pure and positive energy of an angel. Says an insider, “It’s not easy playing an angel. It’s a character absolutely without a reference point. Rani has gone into her inner resources to create the character.”
The still untitled film will be completed in February and not in December as reported in the press.
If you have always been wondering about nubile Soha Ali Khan’s love life, the little birdie has an answer to it. Sources have revealed that Soha Ali Khan has been dating her Rang De Basanti co-star, Siddhartha, for quite sometime now. The couple had been tight lipped about their affair apparently because of Siddhartha’s marriage to his childhood sweetheart Meghna. However, even after the divorce Siddhartha seems reluctant to reveal his relationship with Soha.
Siddharth, a naturally reserved person, was drawn to Soha’s bubbly and positive nature during the shooting of ‘Rang De Basanti’. Soha has termed her affair with Siddharth as being too preposterous for her to comment on. To be known that both Sharmila and Pataudi are not exactly very happy with their daughter’s choice. On the other hand brother Saif has expressed his support for sis darling’s choice.
The two sexy Arora sisters are absconding from Mumbai. In fact the two accompanied by some girlfriends are having quite a blast in Las Vegas. Malaika took her sister along to celebrate her birthday in Las Vegas.
Younger sis Amrita beamed, “Malaika took me and three of her friends to Vegas to celebrate her birthday. We’re still there and having a blast. On our way back, we stop for a show in LA.”
It’s an only girls’ party, kids!!
“Chak De India” has not only put Indian hockey on a higher platform but also shown the mettle of 11 youthful girls and their fitness which gets them their dream cup.
Following this, actress Vidya Malvade, one of those 11 girls, has been chosen to be the face of World Gym. Now World Gym is a world class gymnasium which has its head office in California. There, the face of World gym is none other than Hollywood superstar, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Vidya is surely very excited about being the chosen one and feels that fitness should be the way of life for every individual.
“It is extremely important to have a balanced diet which includes green veggies and fruits. Exercising is also the best way to keep fit”, said the vibrant Vidya while endorsing the gym. She herself is a fitness freak and loves dancing to de stress herself.
Sonal Chauhan is one of those lucky few who has got what she had desired at a very early stage of her career. After entering the entertainment industry with modeling, she is now looking like a fresh new face for Bollywood.
This sexy girl has caught the attention of the Bhatts so much so that they ended up offering her not one but two movies together!
Firstly she will be seen doing an important role in the sequel of “Raaz”. This was also partly because Bips was unavailable for “Raaz 2”.
Again when Esha Deol refused to act in Bhatt’s Movie “Jannat”, the role was offered to Sonal who readily accepted the proposal!
The Bhatts have been very famous for launching many hot faces like Bipasha Basu, Mallika Sherawat and Kangana Ranaut. So is Ms. Chauhan a yet another discover by them? Only time will tell how “talented” she really turns out to be!
Dancer and actress Rakhi Sawant has always been known for her candid confessions. We recently heard that this hour glass figured lady has undergone a breast implant and that too for free!
Sources said that Rakhi had approached renowned Dr. Ashok Gupta in Mumbai for a surgery to implant silicones and increase her breast size from 32” to 36”. “Jo Bhagwaan nahi deta woh doctor deta hai”, states the bindass kudi.
In return to her surgery, this sexy siren had promised to perform at a medical seminar in Jaipur. But a hospital official said that Dr. Gupta not only performed a surgery on Sawant but also paid her a nominal amount for the show.
But why would such a famous doctor do an operation for free? Well, some say that this was done solely because Rakhi was a part of the demonstration in the seminar. Well whatever the truth is, Rakhi Sawant surely has the most tempting body in the business.
Arshad Warsi ‘s stars are surely shining up in the sky. After his mind blowing performances in “Lage Raho Munna Bhai”, “Dhamaal” and “Golmaal”. He is all set to put one step ahead and put all his creativity into other departments of film making too!
Yes! “Circuit” as we all know him, is turning into a producer! He will be seriously beginning this soon under the banner “Shooting Star Pvt Ltd”.
Not only this, Arshad has been secretly working on a script for quite sometime now. Though he refuses to make any announcements as yet, it comes as no surprise that many big banners have shown a lot of interest in investing with Warsi’s company!
All that is confirmed till now is that his first venture will be directed by none other than Raja Sen, who is currently directing Rakesh Roshan’s “Krazy 4”.
We will soon get to know if this star will himself act in his home production or let the films create magic without his presence.
Sandhya Mridul who had never really got an opportunity to shake a leg in any of her films due to the roles she played, is now letting herself free on the sets of the dance competition “Jhalak Dikhla Ja”.
Apart from this, what has come as a pleasant surprise or rather as a “shock” to Sandhya, is that after seeing her sizzle to the song “Mehbooba Mehbooba”, she has been offered an item song by G.S Entertainment in their forthcoming film which is to be directed by Bunty Walia.
According to a source, Sandhya has agreed to do the item number though she did not feel that her image works upto that of an item girl!
Sandhya who is apparently very skeptical about the whole issue, is considering the offer as a golden opportunity, but has preferred to keep it silent before anything materializes. She is surely excited about her stance in “Jhalak Dikhla Jaa” about which she said, “My world has changed I can now figure out the difference between a cha cha cha and a rock-and-roll and a samba. It is definitely an overwhelming experience for me.”
Sandhya sure is a lucky girl!
This comes as pleasant news for all those who love the work of ace film maker Vishal Bharadwaj and the superstar of the millennium Amitabh Bachchan!
For the very first time, these two men are coming together to do a film adapted by Shakespeare’s “King Lear”.
After his first two Shakespearean films “Maqbool” and “Omkara” which were loosely based on Macbeth and Othello respectively, Bharadwaj is all set to adapt another of his masterpiece “King Lear”. Overcoming a little difficulty, he finally convinced the Big B of Bollywood to play the role of King Lear himself.
Though nothing has been made clear officially about the film’s details, all we know is that the music of the film will be composed by the talented director himself. After finishing with the script of the film, it will go on floor and by April 2008, it will hit the theaters.
This film will surely be a treat for every film buff and to see Big B become King Lear, will be something all of us are looking forward to.
After a brief hiatus and a short trip to the jail, Salman Khan is back in action. This time he is once again baring his chest for a movie titled “Tarzan” where he gets to play the title role! In fact he might even be seen sans his trousers if his role so demands.
With his well crafted muscles, toned body and a shaven chest, it seems that Salman won’t have much problems getting into the skin of the character of “Tarzan”. In fact this handsome dude considers himself lucky to get such a role. “”I was always fascinated by Tarzan stories and I am glad that I have got a chance to do the film,” Salman told mediapersons in Mumbai.
Salman has decided to go in for a different kind of hairstyle for the film which will be shot in the jungles. In fact he seemed quite excited about shooting with animals amidst huge mushrooming trees.
“Tarzan” which will be directed by well known director Aneez Bazmee, will hit the theatres next year. Seeing this Khan bare his chest again, will be a delight especially for all his female fans!!
After Saif Ali Khan’s public announcement about his affair with Kareena, his Italian ex girlfriend Rozza Catalano has been trying to concentrate on her career into Hindi films.
This beautiful belle has signed her first film which is titled “Shaurya”. It will be produced by Moserbaer and directed by Samar Khan. About signing this Italian damsel, Khan speaks, “I had been looking for a girl with an international face and Rozza was the first choice for the role.”
Apart from Rozza, this film stars Rahul Bose, Minisha Lamba and Kay Kay Menon. The music is composed by the very famous Adnan Sami.
Films are not the only thing that’s keeping Miss Catalano busy these days. She has also been roped in for a fashion based show on TV which will soon hit the small screen. Says the optimistic woman, “I am happy with the kind of offers I am getting. I am sure the future is bright.”
After having learnt six different languages, Hindi will be the 7th for Rozza but she is positive about mastering the lingo. For now we can just wait for this stunning actress to woo us on screen.
