Mallika Sherawat is having a dream hut built for herself at Vizhinjam near Kovalam beach in Kerala. G. Shankar, the chief of Habitat Technology Group, is working on the hut and said that the hut would be ready to move in.
‘Mallika is expected to arrive here in the next few days and give the final approval to complete her home. This is a one hall and one bedroom hut and built with mud and overlooks the majestic Arabian Sea near Vizhinjam. I’m sorry I can’t reveal the exact location. The roof of the hut is yet to be decided and it would be finalised once she is here. Most probably it would be one with bamboo and tiles,’ said Shankar.
Reports indicate that the hut is coming up on a small hill top and one has to reach the place on foot. There is no road for cars. So, Mallika here hopes to find some time alone with herself on the hill top.

This issue covers an exclusive behind the scene look at film and also carries article featuring a classy photo shoot involving the four lead actors — Farhan, Arjun Rampal, Luke Kenny and Purab Kohli, and the trio of Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy who have scored the movie’s rock based music.

Though Akshay Kumar is riding high on success these days, his family has always been a priority for him. Akshay has planned a innovative way to devote time to wife Twinkle and son Aarav. First, he took his wife to Monte Carlo for a 2 week long holiday sans son Aarav. Now the second lap of the holiday is exclusively devoted to Akshay and his son Aarav.
Says Akshay, “It’s full-on male-bonding time now. If all three of us had been on a holiday together, I’d have been divided between my son and wife. And both would’ve felt cheated. By dividing my holiday time into two I can give myself completely to both.”
On the professional front, Akki has tasted sweet success of ‘Singh in Kinng’ and ‘Fear Factor’ and if rumours are to be believed, Akshay is already negotiating for a second season of Fear Factor and that too at a much steeper fee than Fear Factor 1. Great going for Akki!
It is celebration time for Kapoors. ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ has been declared a superhit and Papa Rishi Kapoor extends his support and praise to Ranbir by gifting him luxurious SUV, Range Rover.
Ranbir Kapoor had been nursing a desire to own a ‘Range Rover’ for quite some time now, but with the failure of his debut movie ‘Saawariya’ Ranbir dropped the idea. Knowing his son’s desire, Rishi Kapoor felt this was the right time to gift a sporty ride to his son.
Sources say that a surprise was planned this past weekend by Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir was amazed to find the luxurious ‘Range Rover’ parked in his driveway. Equally ecstatic was he when his proud Papa handed him the keys to the car.
So, its ‘Vroom’ time for Ranbir in his Rover and success!

Things at Bollywood have not been just too encouraging for the ‘Khallas’ girl Isha Koppikar, but that doesn’t stop the girl from working hard enough to get to her goals.
So, involved and determined is Isha to get the realistic touch for her upcoming RGV’s ‘Shabri’ that she is leaving no stones unturned in getting into the skin of the character.
To look like a slum girl, Isha didn’t wax her body, didn’t pluck eyebrows, didn’t use any beauty products and, in fact, did not even comb her hair. But this is not all. During one shoot in a slum area of Mumbai, while the evening snacks were served, Isha, unmindfully, instead of going to her make-up van to eat, sat near a dustbin to eat like a street beggars. It was only when her make-up boy came and said ‘Didi, aap yaahan kyun baithi hain? Make up van mein chaliye,’ that she realized where she was sitting.
‘I was so engrossed in my character that I didn’t even realize what I was doing. If my make-up boy hadn’t made me realize that I was sitting beside a dustbin I would have had my snacks there,’ says Isha.
Isha has changed her walking style and has lost weight too. What we wonder is how long will she take to get to normal life once she is out of the character?
With a row of films like ‘Chamku’, ‘Drona’ and ‘Fashion’ set for release in a few months, Priyanka Chopra is definitely on a high these days. No wonder, the fashion magazine ‘Vogue’ chose this beauty to grace their covers for the September edition.
This issue reveals a lot of unknown facts about Priyanka including stuff like Priyanka has a thing for sweet and sour treats like jeera goli, that her career plans never included modelling and that she takes to the pen the way a fish takes to water. The issue also tells about how the gal’s aunt used to call her ‘Kaali’ and it was actually her Mom who should be attributed for her entry into the tinsel town. It was Priyanka’s mother who sent ‘passport sized snaps’ of Priyanka wearing a suit as an entry for the Miss India competition, something that was meant to be sent to Australia for a scholarship exam in an engineering college!
This and lot more about Priyanka in the September issue of ‘Vogue’!
One may be wondering why the director Kabeer Kaushik is missing from all the promotional events of Bobby Deol and Priyanka Chopra starrer ‘Chamku’. The reason is that the director is stuck up in London, keeping up with the disrupted shooting schedules of actor turned producer Arshad Warsi’s maiden home production.
Unfortunately, the schedule for Warsi’s film has been hit due to the appalling weather conditions in London. Since Warsi has already lost so many days and a big amount of money too due to bad weather, he obviously does not approve of his director going off to Mumbai for a few days.
On top of that Kaushik has a single entry visa implying that once he flies out of London, he will have to apply for a new visa. Keeping the tight schedule of his film in mind, Warsi is keeping his director on a short lease.
To be known here, that Arshad had been the first choice as the host of ‘Big Boss 2’, but he turned down the offer because it would have entailed flying to and fro between London and Mumbai every week and Warsi cannot afford to do that right now. So now we know that Arshad’s loss has been Shilpa’s gain.
There is no stopping Aamir Khan. Always setting new goals for himself, always experimenting with new styles, this actor of his own kind will next be seen as the mythological half man-half woman ‘Ardhnarishwar‘ in a Tata Sky ad. This ad, the first for the company by Aamir will go on air from today.
The ad has been conceptualised by the company’s marketing team along with Rediffusion. Bollywood writer-director Neeraj Vohra has directed the ad. This 70 seconds ad will show half of Aamir as a Punjabi girl, and the other half as a boy.
‘We are proud to have Aamir working on the ad and happy with the outcome of the final product. No other actor could have done the same so effectively,’ said Vikram Mehra, chief marketing officer, Tata Sky.
