Bollywood News

Vidya Balan has a string of movies to her credit- Parineeta, Munnabhai, Salaam-e-ishq, Guru, Eklavya, Heyy Babyy, Halla Bol, Bhool Bhulaiya, Kismet Konnection and most recently Paa. All these movies have given her critical acclaim for her acting talents, but nothing could give the sensuous tag to her the way the most recent ‘Ishqiya’ has given her.

She had been trapped being called as “Behenji” type actress who was constantly being criticized for her dressing style, but with ‘Ishqiya’ she has sent the message through that “she can be seductress too” signaling that she is ready to fit in current trend.

February sees her on the cover story of ‘Verve’ and ‘The Man’. For the latter, she was styled by Vikram Phadnis and her makeup was done by Shreyas Mhatre.

Here is an excerpt from her interview with ‘The Man’:

“I am a good listener but I rarely give advice. When the good times are between two people, the problems too should remain between them. A relationship is never perfect; you have to work at it. You can’t be running in opposite directions at the first sign of dissent.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan may have chosen to take it easy post her marriage, but a recent development in her career has made all those speechless who feel that the beautiful actress’ career is no longer on an upswing. She has broken the record of Kareena Kapoor with her whopping ten crores contract for her latest film. Earlier, this honor was with Kareena Kapoor with a figure of seven crores.

The film is to be produced Bobby Pushkarna, of the critically acclaimed film ‘Page 3′. Pushkarna was keen on cast Ash only and was determined to shelve the project if the lady did not give an affirmative nod. Finally, after a three-month long chase, Pushkarna was able to persuade her to do his film.

After Shilpa Shetty, Bipasha Basu too has come out with her fitness DVD titled ‘BB Love Yourself’. The first release from Bips will be Fit & Fabulous, a do-it-yourself DVD devised for a 25-minute workout which promises to cut fat and tone up muscles.

Bipasha Basu, who has always been a fitness freak says, “Love yourself is my philosophy in life, hence the brand’s name. It is not a narcissist attitude (to use her initials) because I truly believe that we all must love ourselves before we set out to achieve anything, whether it’s a work goal or a relationship and the first step here is to get fit, as everyone wants to look good.”

Fitness is what Bipasha believes in and the entire concept of this DVD is hers inspired by this belief in health and fitness. “Films, fitness and fashion are my passions,” she says, “this is the first time that I will be doing something professional for the latter two. The focus is on health, and it has a scientific approach.”

“It is very compact, targeting people who are busy, who don’t like to go to the gym or don’t have time,” says the actress. “It is entirely my baby, from the script to shooting it, the camera angles and lighting. But I did have fitness expert Deanne Pandey on board when the initial groundwork was done. He is my dear friend,” she adds.

The noted bollywood producer and father of actor Aamir Khan, late Tahir Hussain passed away yesterday after a cardiac arrest. He was 79 years old. According to family resources of Amir Khan he had a massive heart attack on day before and at the time of unfortunate happening Amir Khan along with Kiran was at Los Angeles and is returning back to India. Funeral is going to take place today.

His reputation in Bollywood has been established due to being producer of blockbuster movies like, ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke’ (1993),’Zakhmee’ (1975),’Anamika’ (1973) and’Caravan’ (1973). He also directed Aamir for the first time in his first directed movie ‘Tum Mere Ho’ in 1990. He also acted in classics like “Janam Janam Na Saath’ (1977),’ Pyar Ka Mausam’ (1969) and ‘Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai’ (1961). He is survived by his wife and two sons Aamir and Faisal and two daughters, Farhat and Nikhat.

Veer has released and more or less gone from the theatres. Along with it has subsided the topic.

That made for screaming headlines for most part of the film's promotion i.e. debutant Zarine Khan being the look-alike of Katrina Kaif.

Filmmaker Anil Sharma was never too happy with the comparisons and continues to maintain that it was more a game of perception building than anything else.

It was all a media perception that Zarine looked like Katrina. So much was written, said, heard and gossiped around for months that.

When people saw Zarine for the first time, the instant question that came to their mind was 'Kya yeh sach mein Katrina jaisi hai?", says.

Anil Sharma who did make a mega film in Veer but couldn't quite keep the pace (and the conflict) intact for its entire duration.

a shoot involving Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan was supposed to take at a suburban mall. The entire mall was to be cordoned off for the entire day.

That would have brought business to a standstill and resulted in a huge loss for the shop owners. But Aishwarya stepped in and saved the day for the shop owners.

She asked her producer to cordon off only the area where the shoot was taking place and let business run in the other sections of the mall.

Aishwarya was shooting for Vipul Shah’s Action Replay and she was doing the portions in which she had to sport an old lady’s get-up.

Vipul was extra cautious about not revealing her look. So his production team told him to book the mall for the entire day.

Isabel Kaif sister of Katrina Kaif, is the latest victim of MMS Scandal. A 10 minute clip of a girl who resembles Isabel Kaif is doing the rounds on the Internet. A sexy MMS clip featuring a girl with facial resemblance to Katrina Kaifs younger sister Isabelle has reportedly become a hot searched item in the UK and India.

Of course, the clip could be a fake and even possibly the following comment from a source apparently close to the Kaifs: “Truthfully, it was quite shocking to digest the fact that it was indeed Isabel in the video. She was being groomed.

By both Salman and Katrina for her debut and Kat had even begun to take her sister along to several events in the city to familiarise her with the industry. Katrina had even enrolled Isabel in the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York – an institute that has produced numerous acting talents in Hollywood.”
