Finally, Priyanka Chopra launched her much awaited debut international music single In MY City, at Hotel JW Marriott in Mumbai. Priyanka Chopra interacted with the media and revealed that her parents got really emotional after hearing this song and that it was her father’s dream to see her as a singer.
No sooner had she launched her single, the song started trending instantly on twitter as people were hearing it live from the event. The social networking sites have been abuzz with praises for PC’s singing talents.
Salman Khan said on twitter – Omg! Just heard Priyanka Chopra’s English track 3 times bak to bak, called in my city. Its fab, outstanding! SALAAM miss chopra.
“Priyanka is going to make India very very proud. I have heard the song and absolutely love it,” said Ranbir, her ‘Barfi’ co-star, adding that he knows and remembers the lyrics too.
Priyanka launched her maiden song on Thursday, but she was “feeling the jitters”. She said that her voice is “completely lost” due to back-to-back interviews for her forthcoming film Barfi. “But all said and done, I feel like my first film has just released,” she said. “Forget singing professionally, I never felt that I could even sing well,” she added.
Dibakar Banerjee is leaving no stones unturned in creating the right hype and right interest in his forthcoming ‘Shanghai’. If the look and feel of the lead stars Emraan Hashmi and Abhay Deol in the first look trailer was not enough and even before the controversy around the song ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ from the film could cool down, the makers of the film have revealed another highlight of their film. They have revealed their item girl who will sizzle in the item number ‘Imported Kamariya’.
Talking about Scarlett Mellish Wilson, the girl is from Britain and though she has already done quite a few commercials, this will be the first time she will appear on bigger screen.
Diakar Banerjee is all praises for the sensuous beauty and says, “Someone recommended Scarlett for our item song. I couldn’t believe how well she danced! Scarlett is by far one of the best in the Bollywood dance form I’ve seen. Usually when foreigners do Bollywood dancing, there’s a certain amount of stiffness in their movements. Not Scarlett. She takes to the rhythms as though she was born to the desi beat”.
28 year old beautiful Sunidhi Chauhan tied knots with childhood mate and music composer Hitesh Sonik in a low profile ceremony. Sunidhi was earlier married to choreographer Bobby Khan but the marriage broke after an year.
“She was a little more than a child when she won the Meri Awaz Suno music contest on television. That is when we became friends. Gradually, over the years as she grew into a fine singer, our friendship blossomed into love,” elaborated Hitesh on their love life.
However, the couple threw a lavish reception party at Taj Lands End in Mumbai and the guest list included Asha bhonsle, Udit Narayan with wife Deepa Narayan, Farah Khan with Vishal Dadlani, Ranvir Shorey, Konkona Sen Sharma, Shaan, Kavita Krishnamurthy and Alka Yagnik.
Sunidhi Chauhan wore a purple saree with heavy work on it while Hitesh opted for an achkan and black pants. Check out a few clicks from the event………….
The third season of ‘Dance India Dance’ on Zee TV ended with Odissa girl Rajasmita Kar walking away with the winning title. An all elated 21 year old Rajasmita said, “I feel like a star. People are clicking my pictures and want to know more about me. I used to watch all this happening to people on TV but now people are watching me.”
“I am so happy. I never thought my ‘DID’ journey would shape up like this and I will be giving interviews and sharing my experience. It feels great,” she added.
Apart from taking away the title, Kar got a Maruti Ertiga car, a house by Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and a cheque of Rs.3 lakh from the Rourkela Steel Plant.
Talking about her future plans, Rajasmita said, “I would like to become the best dancer of the industry just like my idol Sridevi and then train young children.”
Talking about her co-contestants on the show, she says, “My co-contestants were very friendly and infact we all lived like a family. There was no ill feeling or bad vibes due to the competition. And coming to ‘DID’ was a dream come true for me and I will always cherish the time I spent here.”
Ever since ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’ stole the limelight from Sonakshi Sinha’s debut vehicle ‘Dabangg’, the girl has been clearly stating her wishes to do a sizzling item number. Finally, her wish is being granted as she is doing an item number in Akshay Kumar’s forthcoming ‘Rowdy Rathore’ and guess what! The song has been titled ‘Chikni Kamar’.
As the name suggests the song follows the essence of Katrina Kaif’s item number Chikni Chameli and as Sonakshi calls it, the number is a “a complete masaledaar song”.
Sonakshi’s moves for the song will be choreographed by Vishnu. However, unlike Katrina Kaif, who shed kilos to get in shape for ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ Sonakshi has not been asked to lose weight. “Prabhu Deva and everyone else I’m working with like me the way I am..” claims Sonakshi.
The song will also feature Akshay Kumar and will be soon shot in Hampi.

Remember Mumaith Khan, the hottie who created sensational ripples with her luscious curves and sensuous moves in the ‘Seekh Le’ number in ‘MunnaBhai MBBS’. The girl is back once again to hit the screens with her seductive gyrations in an item number for the Bollywood film Enemmy. The song has been shot at a studio in Film City where the set of a bar had been put up. Mumaith grooved on the table in a ghagra choli emptying beer bottles on the onlookers. The song also features film’s actors Suneil Shetty, Mahakshay Chakraborty (Mithun’s son Mimoh rechristened) and Johnny Lever. The song was choreographed by Saroj Khan.
The movie, Enemmy, is not called so due to numerology. It is named so after its six principal characters, Eklavya Karmarkar aka Bhau {Suniel Shetty}, Naeem Shaikh {KK Menon}, Eric Collaco {Johnny Lever} and Madhav Sinha aka Maddy {Mahaakshay Chakraborty}, four daredevil CID officers, who can be relied upon whenever the city faces problems from the underworld, a don responsible for mayhem — Mukhtar Menon (Mahesh Manjrekar) and one CBI officer Yugantar Sharma (Mithun Chakraborty).
Housefull 2 is not only all masala and comedy with a host of actors and actresses but it also has the right mix of oomph and glamour with a full on item song picturized on the queen of item numbers, Malaika Arora Khan.
The sensuous lady, who rocked the nation as Munni in ‘Dabangg’ will take the avatar of a modern day anarkali in the song which is titled ‘Anarkali Disco Chali’ and is choreographed by Farah Khan. The full song promo shows Malaika in four different looks with she changing over to short skimpy dresses from her traditional anarkali look.
The song also has four funny charactersalong with Malaika namely Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh, John Abraham and Shreyas Talpade, and two cool papas (Mithun Chakraborty and Boman Irani).
On being compared with the Munni song, Malaika says, “Munni is iconic, so I wouldn’t like to draw any comparisons and would request others to do the same. But, at the same time, Anarkali Disco Chali is Kick A**.”
Vidya Balan is out to give a whole new meaning to item numbers in Bollywood. Balan, who transformed into a sensuous dirty diva in her last flick ‘The Dirty Picture’, has shot a lavani item song for the the upcoming movie Ferrari Ki Sawaari. However, those who are expecting a skin show from Vidya like the ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’ or ‘Chikni Chameli’ item number, will be disappointed because the stills of the number doing rounds on the net show Vidya clad in a Maharashtrian sari from neck to ankles. She is seen sitting chirpily atop huge dhols in the first look stills of this song which is titled ‘Mala Jau De’.
Ferrari Ki Sawaari has been produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra who shares a special relation with Vidya being the one who gave a dream debut to the actress with his production Parineeta. The movie is directed by Rajesh Mapuskar and stars Sharman Joshi in the lead role. The film is set to hit the theatres in April this year.
Bollywood hottie Riya Sen and actor Arya Babbar were captured by the lenses as they shot for a song of their upcoming movie Zindagi 50-50. The movie also features Veena Malik as the female lead. Rumours doing rounds are that the director of Zindagi 50-50 wanted to shoot an item number featuring both Riya and Veena Malik. However, both the actresses seemed reluctant to share screen space in an item number!
This particular song was shot at Metro Cafe and Club and post the shooting, director Rajiv Ruia, treated the cast and crew with cakes, pizza and soft drinks. Director Rajiv Ruia, actors Rajan Verma, Supriya Kumar, Riya Sen, Arya Babbar, singer Manak-E of Paisa Paisa fame who had flown specially from UK, composer Vivek Kar, choreographer Sabina Khan, and the entire unit had a ball.
Have a look at Riya Sen and Arya Babbar during the shoot of the song……
Ameesha Patel who debuted as the sweet girl next door with megahit ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’ went for a sexy makeover in ‘Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic’ but the film failed to create magic at the box office. The girl who is going downhill in her career has quite a handful of offers to look forward to. She is a part of ‘Race 2’ and is also playing the lead role of a high profile prostitute in another project.
Ameesha impressed both fans and producers alike by her fabulous performance at the recent Apsara awards. The performance was definitely commendable given the fact that she managed the dance with one day’s practice on seductive numbers like Chikni Chameli and Ooh La La on the stage. Praises came showering on her both from the organisers at Wizcraft and even Yash Chopra personally.
As such, the actress is now very keen to do item numbers in not only her own productions but also for other banners.
The actress is also getting praises for her looks and well-maintained figure. The directors of Race – Abbas and Mustan – recently told her that when they saw her on the sets of Race 2, they felt that she had done a wonderful job of maintaining herself over the years.
