Shilpa Shetty says no to one more reality show
Shilpa Shetty was rumored to be part of Australia’s Big Brother too but I guess the lady has had enough of it and was quoted rubbishing the rumor off.
Her spokesperson and publicist Dale Bhagwagar was quoted saying, “She won’t be a part of another reality show. Shilpa participated in the UK ‘Big Brother’ as she wanted to do something new in her career and take one step ahead in life. It threw challenges untold and she emerged a stronger and more confident person. Since then, she has moved on in life.” Yes she has surely moved on in life and going places.
Read Shahrukh Khan on your Coffee table
‘Still Reading Khan’- Shahrukh Khan’s biography by his friend Mushtaq Sheikh is released and is priced close to 3000/-. Sure the book is doing great in the market and orders have been placed continuously through eBay.
If this book doesn’t quench your thirst for information on King Khan’s, then wait for a few more days for his next biography to come out which is written by film writer, Anupama Chopra. Shahrukh says, “It is a journey through Indian cinema in recent decades, as seen through my career. Interesting and insightful because of the amount of rigorous research Anupama has taken on.” Let us read and know which of the two books satisfy our thirst to know more about the King of Bollywood!
Salman Khan’s receding hairline being cured. Is Katrina Kaif being bothered?
Salman had shown guts and had approached a doctor for his receding hairline problem. Recently Sallu Bhai visted Dubai for a second sitting of hair weaving following his last year’s surgery. Well good to hear that the actor instead of being is actually being gutsy about it. But a source of ours has something else to say: “A hair transplant can go awry if one doesn’t meet the post-surgery precautions. In Salman’s case, something went wrong as a result of which he had to shave his head.” Now, Now Sallu you surely don’t want to take risk- especially when girlfriend Katrina is extremely hot. Sure beauty is just skin deep but it might also have deeper effects! And it looks like Sallu bhai is keen to get his dear friend Boney Kapoor into the same weave. Apparently in his next film, by Boney and directed by Prabhu Deva- remake of Telegu film ‘Pokiri’, Salman will be seen sporting a new hairdo.
Shah Rukh Khan does yet another film with Aditya Chopra
The first venture that Aditya Chopra launched with Shah Rukh Khan is still going strong in Maratha Mandir and has already finished its 600th week- that was Dilwale Dulhaniyan Le Jayenge. And the second time they came together they kicked off Mr Bachchan’s film career. So let us imagine that this time when Aditya Chopra comes back with Shah Rukh Khan it is going to be a sweep-all success for the team. Yes, Adi is back into the Director’s hot seat with his next project, which is going to be an action pact film. Sources reveal, “Aditya Chopra has decided on Shah Rukh Khan as the lead in his next film. Right now, he is working on the script for the same. He wants to make an action-packed film and he has cast his favourite Khan, SRK, to play the lead.” The movie is going to be a one-man show and therefore it is not a multi-starer and will go on floors in December. So who all are eagerly waiting for the show?
Star Voice of India repeating the same cliché- Venue and Timings not yet official
I have received several mails asking for the venue and timings and details about the show. But I am disappointed to repeat it again that the authorities have not made such information official to the larger media. But amid all those request mails I received one particular concern, which I thought I can put forward so as to start the forum and take the discussion ahead on the issue.
Star Voice of India Talent show’s announcement and the news that the audition will take place only in major North Indian cities reminds one of all the partialities done to the South Indian Audiences.
Earlier when participants from down south made it to the big league-like Karunya in “Indian Idol” and Hema Chandra in “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa”, they lost out not because of lack of talent but because of lack of votes. Now one has to understand that votes are never directly related to talent. So the questions remain:
Why does this happen? And why has South India never actually been a major player in such Talent Shows? –Is it because the channels have not been keen enough to bring down south in the larger picture?
The person who raised this concern has something to say. I want all of you to listen to it:
Its’ true that in South India there is less percentage of people who will watch the channels like SONY, ZEE, and STAR TV’s. But that should not be the reason for which the channels like STAR to take decision like they are not going to do any auditions in the Cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai.
Let us raise the issue and get the auditions to be done at these places too. Leave your comments to support the issue and spread the word to your friends.
Aishwarya-Abhishek marriage controversies and Ash-Abhi Post-marriage Photos
Aishwarya- Abhishek marriage has left many schedules haywire and not everyone is happy about such a thing. Rani Mukherjee, who has been a great co-star with Abhishek Bachchan is annoyed. Not because she wasn’t invited for the wedding, but because Abhishek has delayed the shoot of their next film ‘Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag’ for which they are paired together for his honeymoon plans. Because oh this delay Rani’s other projects would also suffer. Well you can’t actually blame her after such a thing. It takes good amount of strength to digest that in spite of being a good family friend, she wasn’t invited for the wedding because of Ash’s dislikes for her, and to top all that this professional delay!
Aishwarya Rai has decided to take up the Bachchan title by her own will and this information was passed to media by Big B. Also that both Aishwarya and Abhishek will stay with Big B and Jaya Bachchan instead of staying separate. Big B also expressed his and Jaya’s wish for Ash to continue her career. But not everyone in the industry is anyway interested to work with Ash.
“I have not seen any of her movies. I don’t know her and really don’t want to know,” said Mahesh Bhatt when asked to comment on Ash’s career graph. Wondering on that statement? I am not!
Let us wait and see what else comes up in the wake of their marriage but till then enjoy their post-marriage photos. Aishwarya and Abhishek in Anil Ambani’s private jet on their journey to Tirumala:
Salman Khan and Preity Zinta come together again with the Deol brothers
Did you hear a multi-starer after Salaam-E-Ishq? You didn’t? then here it is- Sameer Karnik’s next film will have Salman Khan, Preity Zinta, Sohail Khan, Amrita Arora, Sunny and Bobby Deol, Mithun Chakroborty and Vatsal Sheth. Oh…that’s a long list! Karnik had drifted into oblivion after ‘Kyon, Ho Gaya Na…?’ but will come back with two of his film readying for the release- Nanhe Jaisalmer (Bobby Deol starer) and Roshan. The multi-starer film will be called ‘Mera Bharat Mahan’. No, it won’t be a patriotic film. It can be said third in the trilogy- Nanhe Jaisalmer is based on belief, Roshan is based on hope and MBM is based on pride. The film is about a road trip taken by some youngsters and they’re trying to figure the logic behind the logo on every truck or lorry that they pass, which says, ‘Mera Bharat Mahaan’.” Let’s hope this movie has than
just promises to offer the audience.
You are under arrest – Shilpa Shetty and Richard Gere’s innocent Kiss
Do you guys find any difference in the photograph since I posted it last time? No? Well, the Handcuffs! Sad and surprising but yes it is true.
A court in Jaipur has issued arrest warrants for Shilpa Shetty and Richard Gere on the basis of a PIL filed by Jaipur resident Poonam Chand Bhandari. While campaigning together against AIDS in Delhi, Richard Gere had jokingly grabbed Shilpa and planted several kisses on her cheek. I thought the madness was over after the drama about their effigies being burnt ended, but I was wrong! Sad how incidents are given such shockingly stupid twist!

Shahrukh Khan overpowers Aishwarya-Abhishek’s Wedding hype
Ash-Abhi wedding has sure been selling hot but something has been selling even hotter than that. Wondering what? Of course SRK! Nothing on earth apart from SRK can overpower the name of Bachchans. Distribution rights for Om Shanti Om is being bided at high rates by leading houses named Studio 18, Sony and Adlabs. The bid being sold is supposedly touching Rs 55 crore, a huge amount in Bollywood. Flm trade analyst Amod Mehra was quoted saying, “These corporate bodies have approached Shah Rukh for all rights to OSO, including India and overseas distribution along with satellite, audio and home video rights for 10 years. The amount they are offering him is higher than what Nikhil Advani’s Salaam-E-Ishq was paid last year. That was a first of its kind deal at Rs 42 crore. Other than Yash Raj (Chopras) and Dharma (Karan Johar), none of the other production houses have the power or the moolah to sign Shah Rukh Khan, which is why he rarely works for other banners. But when a corporate entity that can’t sign Shah Rukh gets a readymade SRK film with everything in place, it’s like a dream come true. Hence they’re more than willing to cough up such extravagant amounts. A Shah Rukh Khan film gives them terrific branding and also makes their stock soar.” After all the media attention shifting to Aishwarya and Abhishek, it is finally time to talk Bollywood Business which always goes around SRK.
Shahid Kapoor bags Bhansali’s next
Shahid Kapoor is taking his own time after Vivah and he has already started reaping the results. Shahid has been signed for Aziz Mirza’s next movie with Vidya Balan and what followed was an even bigger project. Sanjay Leela Bhansali signed Shahid opposite Rani Mukherjee in his first home production that is going to be directed by his sister Bela Sehgal. This will be Bela’s directorial debut after all her Editing skills being exhibited in Bhansali’s Films. A source in T-Series was quoted saying, “Bela’s film is a period love story along the lines of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas. The look, feel and presentation will be elegant and stylish, like Sanjay’s productions always are. It will be enhanced by the fact that it is also Sanjay’s first production. While Rani had been signed months ago, Shahid signed the film last week. The film is expected to roll by end 2007. Shahid is presently completing Imtiaz Ali’s next with Kareena, after which Aziz’s film will start in July.” Good Luck for the upcoming projects Shahid!
