Exhibiting support and concern, our very own Bollywood stepped out to elect the future leaders of their nation will be. Not even threats of swine flu could keep these patriots away! And most of them had loads to say about what they thought.

Aamir Khan who is constantly at the front position of politics, giving his outlook and is always well versed in the issues was certainly spotted voting. He said “I have travelled 48 hours to cast my vote, so people can certainly go out from their homes to cast their vote. If you love your country, this is the day to show it. I’m happy to see so many senior citizens casting their vote here. I appeal to the youngsters to come out and vote…Being an Indian it is our duty to come…every citizen should come out and vote and this is why I am here…We should elect good people… who don’t divide the country. We should elect clean and honest people in politics.”

John Abraham also expressed his own views “After November 26th, you saw the power of democracy. People were very angry against the government. The chief minister (of Maharashtra state) had to resign…That’s the power of democracy.” His new film ‘New York’ portrays the city after the September 11th assault reverberates his personal views in India.

Shahrukh Khan too shared his views- “People expect politicians to solve problems immediately. But it’s not that easy. It takes time. That’s why we should vote and give a chance to better people.” It seemed like Shahrukh Khan hit it right on the nose with the desire to vote for the right people who will make a change.

We here applaud the concern and support displayed by our actors and its time for us to share our responsibilities of a good citizen. Jai Ho!

There couldn’t have been a better pairing exuding impeccable chemistry! Yes, we are talking about the hot hunk Neil Nitin Mukesh and our very own bubbly and chirpy Preity Zinta who have been roped to endorse the Italian brand of watches, Morellato.

Insiders have it that the makers themselves came down to India to rope in this sensational actor for the reason that ‘Neil has got the looks of an international star, and, with his stubble on, he looks rugged.’ It is also said that the brand was particularly looking for the tough look, and that’s exactly the reason they did not settle with any chocolate boy Bollywood star, as they wanted to maintain brand image in an international market also.

Not to mention here that the two are looking so good together that we definitely can see filmmakers queuing outside their house to cast two of them together in some films in future.

The multi-talented Shruti Hassan is a known name now. Apart from films, she has been associated with Indian and western classical music, has her own band called Extramentals and performs quite regularly.

Recently, she acquired the honor of being the chief guest at the launch of Emcee Jesz’s first Tamil pop album, Kavithai Gundar. Emcee Jesz, a Malaysian rapper, was part of Yogi B’s successful album Vallavan. Kavithai Gundar is his Tamil hip-hop album. The two videos Bad Boys and Thaniye are directed by N Manic, an assistant of Suresh Krissna.

Shruti was all praises for the album and said that such would go a long way in promoting non-film music in India. The occasion also saw the performance of Neha Bhasin on the romantic number ‘Thaniye’ from the album with Jesz. Neha , who was earlier part of the Viva band, complained that the music scene in India was dominated by film music.

This is the first time in the history of Bollywood that a blind man is not only playing a normal hero in his debuting film, but is also doing all the dances and stunts in the film himself. Talking about Nasser Khan, a businessman from Kanpur, the man is debuting with the film called “Shadow” where other actors in lead roles are Milind Soman, Sonali Kulkarni and Hrishitta Bhatt.

Under the banner of Great Entertainments, the film is directed by Rohit Nayyar who has recently directed Aasma. Recently, the unit shot a dance number at Filmcity on the song sung by Aanandraaj Anand. The song has 180 dancers and 400 junior artists and has been choreographed by Ganesh Acharya with a budget of 3 crore.

Ganesh Acharya was all praises for Nasser Khan and said, “When I met Nasser Khan I was shocked that how a blind man can act or dance .When I completed the song today I am again shocked as how this man has completed the song with 100 percent performance.”

This is what Sonali Kulkarni had to say about him. “The only man I have seen with extraordinary vision. A person who has amazing enthusiasm and risky trust. A man who is never tired to learn new things. A madly ambitious person who has given me the strength to believe that even sky can not be a limit if you dream to fly. My best co star so far.”

Hrishita Bhatt said, “He has not only inspired me but the whole world will be inspired after the release of this film. The way he works nobody can say that he is blind. He is so efficient that no shot has been retaken due to his mistake. A dream person to work with.”

As for us, we can just say, “Keep going, Nasser!”

Just recently, Celina Jaitley had expressed her support for the gay community at the re-launch of the magazine for the gay community ‘Bombay Dost’. She had also participated in the Gay Parade in Mumbai and called for the abolition of the laws that treat homosexuality as a crime.

But seems, Celina’s support for homosexuality did not go down well with the people, for the lady has been flooded with various hate mails and messages after the launch party. Some even questioned Celina’s sexuality and wrote that she too is a homosexual.

But strong as she is, Celina is unperturbed by all this. Celina vehemently conferred that this is a human right deserved by every person. During the launch itself she had stated: “It saddens me that people have so much hatred towards sexual minorities and people who show them support. It’s also unfortunate that people have not stopped their hatred against the gay community but have only learnt to mask it.”

Since they have so much of money on stake, the Bollywood beauties Shilpa Shetty and Preity Zinta are trying out all possible publicity fundas to motivate their team and to glamorize the event. Though their teams are not doing very well, the ladies are still on a high spirit.

Shilpa’s team are the Rajasthan Royals and in keeping with the spirit of the team, Shetty was seen sporting a Maharaja style blue  turban on her head to support her team and bubbly as she is, Preity Zinta gave a competition to Shetty with her red Santa topi. Post your comments to let us know, which one you like better?

Bollywood actress Celina Jaitley has always been outspoken and has always stood up for the rights of the gay community. The actress has yet again done it for the gays by re launching India’s first registered Gay magazine called ‘Bombay Dost‘ at Oxford Bookstore, Churchgate.

The host of the evening, Vivek Raj Anand, CEO of Humsafar Trust considered the moment overwhelming for the entire community as the defunct magazine was being relaunched in a bigger and bolder avatar after 7 long years. He called Celina as one of those rare angels who was beautiful through her actions too for openly embracing the community and helping it in everyway.

Celina humbly asked everyone not to consider her action as a charitable act. She elaborated on how this is a human right for every individual and about gays deserving more than acceptance, the compassion and love of everyone; to be a part of ‘us’. She even generously volunteered to help the trust with her own finances until they could find more sponsors.

Prince Manavendra, the first person from a Royal family to be openly gay, was also introduced as a man who was called on the Oprah Winfrey show for showing the courage to break norms. Prince Manavendra also spoke about his first brush with Bombay Dost when he was still young and how that association has carried over 14 years, also resulting in the creation of Lakshya Trust.

The event was concluded with the media interacting with the guests and answering media queries.
