Now, this was a birthday party with some difference, considering the fact that it was a Bollywood birthday party but without fights and with patching up of old enemies. Yes, it was Saif Ali Khan’s birthday party at Four Seasons in Worli on August 16 where the long cold war between Kareena Kapoor and Bipasha Basu seemed to come to an end.
The rift between Bips and Bebo has its roots at the sets of ‘Ajanabee’. It grew stronger as Kareena called John Abraham ‘expressionless’ on Karan Johar ’s show and Bipasha continuing with making an unflattering remark (she called Bebo an actress with ‘too many expressions’) about Kareena.
But this time Kareena herself took an initiative and personally invited Bipasha for the party. Bipasha was surprised to hear from Bebo and gladly accepted the invitation. At the party, the two girls took no time in breaking the ice and warming up. They simply got talking.
While the girls went for a friendship day, it was not the same for the guys. Though Saif had invited both Shahrukh and Salman, while SRK attended with wife Gauri, Arbaaz Khan made up for brother Salman’s absence.
The very prestigious 11th Rajiv Gandhi Awards was held amidst much glamour and glittering. The Rajiv Gandhi Awards has a fool-proof jury which is put in place six months in advance which then selects the nominees from diverse fields ranging from education to media to child prodigy to women achiever to young & global entrepreneur to entertainment & sports
This time noted social worker Anna Hazare, child actor Darsheel Safary and international Bhangra artist Malkit Singh, were among those who received the annual Rajiv Gandhi Awards. Kareena Kapoor and Salamn Khan set the stage afire with their dance performances at the show. Also present were Saif Ali Khan, Lara Dutta, Geeta Basra and Rakhi Sawant.
Actor Saif Ali Khan’s 38th birthday, this Saturday coincided with the festival of Raksha Bandhan. Unfortunately, Saif did not have many of his friends and relatives to celebrate his birthday this time.
“My mom and dad are not flying over from Delhi. My birthday is not such a big deal for me. I’d just be happy to spend it with Kareena (Kapoor) and my kids,” Saif told.
Saif fondly speaks of his sisters, Soha and Saba as he waited for them to tie a Rakhi on his wrist. “Rakha Bandhan is always special for me as my two sisters celebrate it in a big way every year, and this year it is even more special because it also coincides with my birthday. On earlier occasions of Raksha Bandhan, I have always presented them with gifts, but this time I am expecting a gift from them,” Saif said.
Anyways, we wish and hope that Chhote Nawab has a great day!!
After ‘Taare Zammen Par’, Darsheel Safari’s parents had declined a lot of offers because they wanted their kid to concentrate on his studies first, but finally they’ve given in and now, Darsheel has signed his next.
The film is the Hindi remake of Majid Majidi’s 1997 Iranian film ‘Children of Heaven’ which is about a little brother and sister, Ali and Zahra, and their adventures over a lost pair of shoes. Darsheel will play the role of the little boy in the film to be directed by Priyadarshan.
Have you checked out the stills of ‘The last Lear’ featuring Preity Zinta? If not, check them out and you surely will not miss how strikingly similar is her look to that of Rekha in ‘Silsila’.
Her long beautiful tresses, ‘bindi’ on her forehead and cotton saris surely reinvent Preity in the ‘Rekha’ avatar. Director Rituparno Ghosh, who is known for making classic cinema, has designed the Preity’s look keeping in mind Rekha’s look from ‘Silsila’.
Producer Arindam Chaudhuri of ‘Planman’ confessed in one of his interviews that Rituparno is in love with the way Rekha looked in ‘Silsila’ and she wanted a similar get-up for Preity in ‘The Last Lear’.
Whether Rituporno is pleased with Rekha’s reflection in Preity’s look or not, Big B for sure had some sweet memories rekindled of those ‘Silsila’ days!
The first teaser of Abhishek Bachchan starrer ‘Drona’ has already created a lot of stirs. Now, Eros International is all set to unveil yet another magnificent promo of the film this Independence Day which will be shown across theatres along with ‘God Tussi Great Ho’. This teaser will unveil the look of Kay Kay Menon who plays the antagonist Riz Raizada and Priyanka Chopra who plays Sonia.
Drona, produced by Shrishti Arya (Rose Films) and Sunil Lulla (Eros International) is a fantasy adventure with loads of special effects. Directed by Goldie Behl, the film is set to release on Oct 2.
The music launch of Vikram Bhatt’s ‘1920’ was held in a grand way with almost everyone present at the occasion including Anjorie Alagh, Adah Sharma, Kailash Kher, Vikram Bhatt, Sameer, Pandit Jasraj, Rakhi Sawant, and Rajneesh Duggal. However, the absence of music composer for the film, Adnan Sami, was conspicuously felt.
The reason for Adnan’s absence was that he has been hospitalized due to a bad case of food poisoning which he suffered a couple of days back. Adnan really regretted missing the opportunity but is fine now and on a way to speedy recovery.
Tune in to any TV channel, and you will surely have some reality show on with Ranbir and Deepika as the celebrity guest, given that their film ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ is set for release tomorrow.
Sure enough Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba shot for a special episode of Salman Khan’s game show ‘10 Ka Dum’ which will be aired tomorrow at 9 pm. The episode was a complete fun and Ranbir showered equal attention on both his leading ladies making both of them comfortable and at their vibrant best. With Bipasha Basu missing from the scene, Deepika had nothing to sulk and complain about and she made sure that Minissha did not feel left out as she and Ranbir made a star couple on the show.
Her glamour and oomph is something which everyone swears upon and now you have a lot more to come from sexy Amrita Arora. Amrita plays a lingerie model in producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s film ‘Kambakht Ishq’. Before you get carried on let me tell you that the girl funnily enough will not be wearing lingerie for any scene in the film.
That Kareena Kapoor will play a supermodel and Akshay Kumar a Hollywood stuntman has already been conveyed to you. It is all about Amrita today whose costumes will be done by fashion designer Ashley Rebello who has given her outfits from high-end fashion labels like Versace, Prada and Gucci. Not just this, the actress also wears exquisite fashion accessory from Louis Vuitton and other designer brands.
According to the designer, Amrita will be seen in a never-seen-before avatar in the flick. She would be at her “glamourous best” in terms of style. Well, we are just dying to check that out!
Salman Khan did it again; previously it occurred when he fought with Vivek Oberoi and Priyanka Chopra making Priyanka Cry this time he fought fist to fist with Shah Rukh Khan at Katrina’s birthday party. And he was finally listened shouting loudly that “Shah Rukh and I will never patch up!”
On 11 august 2008 at ‘Krishna’ in Mumbai, at the home of Ekta Kapoor, the queen of Indian cinema, it was a very special day as she celebrated her birthday surrounded with all the stars from Indian Television and selected gentry from the Bollywood. She may be quite busy as celebrated the day after month even on celebration she was wearing casual t-shirt stating, “Anything boys can do girls can do better,” And we are totally agree with you.
Kambakkht Ishq is considered as one of the most valued movie of the Bollywood in respect of budget of the movie. The movie that is on the chance of being a huge commercial success worldwide is a romantic comedy about an Indian stuntman who becomes very popular in Hollywood, but fails in getting true love there. In pictures below, he is in wedding scene with Denise richards but leaves the wedding in between after the change of heart for Amrita Arora. Hopefully, this movie will do well; we bless the ‘Khatro Ka Khiladi’.
Her debut movie did not fare very well at the box office but Sonam Kapoor has been very choosy about her projects. She is currently busy with ‘Delhi 6’ and had turned down a movie offer opposite Hrithik Roshan because the role demanded too much of exposure and Sonam did not want to compromise with her values. She was also considered by Aditya Chopra for ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ but was later dropped out because she failed to look like a seventeen year old on screen.
However, Aditya just could not resist his temptation to cast Sonam and now, the latest buzz is that Yash Raj films has signed Sonam Kapoor for their next production and in this romantic project, Sonam will be sharing space with Shahid Kapoor.
Bipasha Basu plans to take a holiday break to island Capri in Italy with her long-time love John Abraham. Bips had been there for a shooting and the isle impressed her so much that she felt like calling John immediately for a holiday, but sadly enough John is currently shooting for Kabir Khan’s New York in Philadelphia.
Basu is also impressed by the hotel where she stayed and says, “The hotel where I stayed is frequented by celebrities from all over the world. My room overlooked the ocean and it was the most gorgeous suite I had ever stayed in.”
Bipasha is currently getting her house renovated and is busy with that. “I have rented a place close to where I live so that I can shift there while my house is being renovated. But even my rented house is being done up before I can move there. For now, I am staying at my own place in a makeshift corner. With all this work going on, you can understand my unhappy state of mind. It’s about time I take my most deserved holiday break. I am definitely going back to Capri with John,” says Bipasha.
It could have been a more glittering event when Bollywood hotties Bipasha Basu, Neha Dupia, Sameera Reddy & Perizaad Zorabian walk the ramp for Gitanjali’s Luxury Style Fest 2008 at Renaissance Hotel, Powai, Mumbai on 7th August 2008. Bipasha Basu looked ravishing as ever. Sameera Reddy was equally hot in her short yellow dress but the lady who was at her confident best was graceful Perizaad Zorabian who looked demure and a true Indian bride in glittering red and blue lehenga. Check out the pics for youeself!
Manoj Kumar wins his case against Farah & SRK
‘Om Shanti Om’ was released in November last year and was a blockbuster hit of 2007, but not without its share of controversies. The film has some scenes with a cariecatcher of the yesteryear superstar Manoj Kumar. Manoj Kumar was really upset over the scenes and honoring his sentiments, SRK and Farah Khan immediately extended the olive branch to the patriotic superstar and the film went on to create history in terms of B-O collections.
But then OSO got its release dates for satellite viewing which had retained Manoj Kumar’s scene. In response, the veteran actor filed a case against the makers of OSO in the Mumbai Sessions Court, demanding either a stay on the satellite screening or the deletion of the objectionable scenes.
Now the latest addition is that the court has announced its verdict in favour of Manoj Kumar and has restrained the satellite telecasting of the film on 10/08/08 till further orders. So, the film now cannot be shown on any satellite channel without the deletion of the objectionable scenes.
It all happened on the sets of a television reality show where Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Deepika Padukone appeared for the promotion of their upcoming ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’.
Incidentally, Deepika was to make an entry with Ranbir, but Bips did not like the idea at all and insisted that she should make an entry with the Kapoor kid. So, the promoters decided to focus on Bipasha on the TV show and arranged an entry of Ranbir and Bipasha together. Deepika, sadly, was sidelined.
Jealous as all women are, Deepika did not take it down in good spirit and kept sulking through the entire show, so much so, that she even snapped at a contestant leaving him hurt.
Well, this is what happens when you are in love!
Ajay Devgan recently has been trying his physical limits far too much these days. The actor who made a debut as an action hero in ‘Phool Aur Kaante’ has put in his best to the action sequences for his film ‘Toonpur Ka Superhero’.
One of such scenes had Ajay dangling in the air through a harness attached to cables. Ajay’s character fights an evil villain of Toonpur in the scene. The scenes were being shot over the week under the supervision of Hollywood stunt director Jack Gill.
However, being in the harness for hours during the shoots had a toll on Ajay’s back. After two days, the actor’s back got stiff and sore. To make matters worse, Ajay refused to take any painkillers. As a result, his back got so bad that he had to take a break and give himself complete bed rest, thus hampering the film’s shoot.
Now, Ajay is better and is expected to resume shooting soon.
