Sallu did not cancel his trip to US

Producer of Wanted, Boney Kapoor has hit out are rumors that Salman had cancelled his New York trip after SRK got detained at US airport this month.
Boney Kapoor says, “This is completely false. Not going to New York was a decision taken by the producers and Salman didn’t even know about it. He is unnecessarily being dragged into all this. We refused to go to the US because the proposal offered to us for the event there was not acceptable to us. That’s it.”
“News reports said that Salman was to be in New York Sep 3. That is also completely untrue.”
Salman is awaiting the release of his flick Wanted, which will hit the theatres on September 18th.

Salman: SRK and me don’t see eye to eye

Salman Khan in a new interview talks about Islam, SRK and a brand new IPL team that he wants to buy. Read…
Some would say you have been unfair to SRK on the airport controversy. Doesn’t racial profiling bother you? Have you never felt that people behaved in a certain manner with you because you are a Muslim?
I don’t think Shah Rukh has ever gone through that. He has been politically correct, there are no court cases against him they still detained him, and he felt humiliated. They were doing their job.
Let me put this directly: what is your problem with theman who lives on the other side of Bandstand? You used to be friends once.
It’s just that our thinking doesn’t tally. But the world’s made of all sorts of people. I did not like what he said once. He respects my family, I respect his. We just don’t see eye to eye. Weird things happened one night. It could have been sorted out then and there.
Next morning I came home. But I found that it was blown out of proportion, obviously not from my side.
It was just a joke at a party, wasn’t it?
(Looks across, intensely) It was not a joke.
I don’t want to talk about it, but as one grows, one becomes magnanimous, more secure chalo, god has given so much. But not in his case.I have my family, my parents, brothers, sisters, everybody. He doesn’t have anybody above him. So perhaps it is lack of guidance perhaps. Or may be some sort of a fear. May be if I were in his place, I would behave exactly like that.
Do you respect Shah Rukh professionally?
He is very effective. Great script sense. He has come up the hard way, from TV. How he has climbed is his problem. But he has climbed a long way up. For me it is not about climbing, it is about growing.
There are fatwahs against you celebrating Ganpati in your house. Haven’t you ever worried that it might alienate thousands of your Muslim fans?
First came human and then came religion. Muslims don’t like bad Muslims; Hindus don’t like bad Hindus. Fatwa is an opinion. Nobody is allowed to issue fatwas. The relationship is between me, the banda, and god.
Are you buying an IPL team?
Yes, I want to buy an IPL team. I am interested. So is Lalit. He and I have discussed this. It is a long process, involves bidding and all that.
Which team do you want to buy? Kolkata Knight Riders?
No no. I want to buy one of the two new teams that they are going to introduce. People think I want to buy a team because of an ego hassle with Shah Rukh. Suniel [Shetty] put it very well the other dayĆ¢?¦he said I don’t think somebody will put hundreds of crores for an ego hassle.
You like cricket?
My father and brother are crazy about it. I am not that ardent a fan, but once I’m into it, I’ll make sure things work.
Now that’s some honest answering Sallu miyan

Smoking Hot Bips, refuses to smoke


While Bipasha Basu is a thorough professional, she will never compromise on her health. She is known to be extremely health conscious and never smokes or drinks. She has, therefore, declined to even hold a cigarette, let alone smoke it, in her upcoming film, Pankh.

Director Sudipto Chattopadhyay wanted Bipasha to smoke on screen for an important part. But she is strictly against smoking and refused to do it. When she was given the choice of holding the cigarette, she rejected even that option. She felt that if she holds a cigarette or smokes it, she will be endorsing smoking. Finally, Sudipto came up with a creative solution. He placed a canister jar in front of her which emitted smoke and it was shot in a way that it looked as if the smoke was coming out of her mouth.

Bipasha has always been against smoking. She had refused to smoke even in Corporate. She wasn’t even in favor of boyfriend John Abraham doing No Smoking. Sudipto didn’t have any problem with Bipasha’s behavior. He felt that the actor should be comfortable with what they are doing.

Irfan Khan’s unscripted lip-lock with Dia Mirza!



Irrfan Khan is known to be a thorough professional. He is pretty serious about his job and will do whatever it takes to make his role look perfect. But recently, this dedication took an interesting course. During the shoot of Acid Factory, Irrfan kissed Dia Mirza on the lips even though the scene only required him to kiss her on her cheek. Shocked, Dia phoned producer Sanjay Gupta and informed him about the incident.
According to sources, the shoot was on in South Africa. The scene going on was when Dia introduces Irrfan to Fardeen Khan and Irrfan comes forward to kiss Dia on the cheek and make it clear to Fardeen to not enter into his territory. He has to do this because he suspects something is going on between Fardeen and Dia. However, everyone was surprised when Irrfan suddenly kissed Dia on the lips. It was unexpected, not being a part of the script, but she chose not to make an issue about it at that time and simply called up Sanjay later on.
Meanwhile, Dia doesn’t seem to be very upset. She admits she was surprised, but she thinks that he did it to establish the chemistry between them in the scene. She also thinks it wasn’t much of a kiss. Sanjay also feels that Irrfan did it to make the scene look more real. After watching the rushes, he feels Irrfan succeeded. And since Dia isn’t making an issue over it, he’s fine with it too.

Jagannath Priests Scream out Kaminey!


Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kaminey has angered quite a number of priests at the Jagannath temple. They burned posters of the film after they found it containing a derogatory reference to the Orissa deity. A case was filed with the local police against the film alleging sacrilege.
The part that offended them was that in the film there was the well-known Hindi phrase, Apna haath Jagannath written on a toilet door alongside a scantily clad woman. They found that it vandalizes the pure image of their God. Kalinga Sena, a cultural outfit in Puri, had lodged the police complaint. According to Puri inspector, Sudhakar Sahoo, the case was registered for hurting Hindu religious sentiments.

Priyanka goes 15 for Whats your Raashee


Priyanka Chopra potrayed the role of a 15 year old village girl for the zodiac sign Capricorn for Ashutosh Gowarikar’s What’s your Rashee.
Priyanka says, “I have worked so hard in this film. Mera khoon pasina behgaya hai iss movie mein. Playing 12 different characters was the most challenging thing for me; it’s the first time something like this has ever been done. I just hope people like my work in the film.”
Jhankhana, Capricorn was the toughest character yet, to play a 15 year old girl on top of that a village simpleton was mind racking. We didn’t have any prosthetics and it was only my hair, clothes and body language that helped me mould myself into Jhankhana. Thankfully Ashutosh Sir was very helpful and gave me some useful pointers, so I think it worked out just fine.”
Priyanka plays a young 15-year old student who is suddenly caught unaware in life when her parents decide to get her married.

Wake Up Sid Song

Copycat Rock-Star: Ajay Devgan copies U2’s Bono!

Ajay Devgan as a rock star, strumming away the heated strings on stage is a hard act to swallow.
Not for Vipul Shah, who has cast Devgan as a rock-star musician in London Dreams. The gritty sweaty ambience, the riveting guitar licks, the angst-filled vocals and the screaming hysterical fans…Devgan goes through the rock motions in the film with Ć©lan.
Says Vipul, “So far we’ve only seen him in a sedate or comic image, never as someone who can cross the frontiers and do something outrageous.”
Vipul hasn’t quite converted Devgan in to an outrageously punk rock star.
“No, not quite the reckless renegade. I’ve modeled Ajay’s rock act on Bono, the Irish lead singer from U2. Bono was never your quintessential rock star. He had a more sober and a less wild image. When Ajay gets on stage in London Dreams he replicates the curbed tempered-down rock-star’s image of U2. Yes, I modeled him on Bono.”
Interestingly Salman Khan who started calling himself a ‘rock star’ even before the term was coined has no particular image in London Dreams.
“He plays a more improvisational musician whereas Devgan plays a more professional rock musician,” informs Vipul.
Vipul has already shot all the on-stage performances except one. “I wanted to see how the other stage performances look before shooting the last one. I was afraid they’d all look the same. But they’ve all come out differently. And Ajay looks like a rock star in the truest sense of the word.”

Vidya Balan vanishes in Cambridge!

Vidya Balan proved to be more adventurous than her sedate image and serene personality suggest.
Recently while shooting for Balki’s Amitabh-Abhishek starrer Paa in Cambridge, Vidya simply disappeared into thin air! The crew returned to Mumbai without her. Laughs Vidya, “It’s nothing so dramatic. Yes, I did stay back in Cambridge. I simply had to. I had no choice.”
Shooting for Balki’s Paa in Oxford and Cambridge proved to be too lovely an experience for the actress to leave behind. After the whole unit left, she decided to stay for an extra week.
Recounting the experience Vidya says, “I just couldn’t help it. Just being in Cambridge shooting was not enough. I felt a deep connect with the campus and the environment. I just wanted to walk around the campus with books in hand so I’d look like a student.”
Once the shooting was over, Vidya decided to stay over. “Luckily I’ve a friend in Cambridge. I stayed with her, and her husband. It was the most enriching experience of my life. Just the air and the feel of the place are so special.”
Vidya now intends to buy herself a quiet escape route. “I can’t afford a place in Cambridge. But I know of a place near Mumbai that offers the same climate and topography. But I am not revealing it.”

Miss Dominican Republic, Ada Aimee De la Cruz, is named as the 1st Runner-Up, 2nd Runner-Up is Miss Kosovo Gona Dragusha. And the 3rd Runner-Up is Miss Australia Rachael Finch. Miss China Wang Jingyao is chosen as Miss Photogenic, while Miss Thailand Chutima Durongdej is named Miss Congeniality.

A five-day vacation package in the Bahamas for two,

According to organizers the main prize is the golden opportunity to enter, explore and establish themselves into the lucrative world of acting and entertainment.

Why Ekta Chaudhary was out of Miss Universe 2009?

India's drought at the Miss Universe pageant continued as Miss India Ekta Chaudhary failed to reach the top 15 for the 2009 edition of the event, but the designers here feel she was a "deserving candidate" and lost because of sheer "bad luck".
"Bad Luck!" designer Vijay Arora said after he got to know the result.
The Miss Universe 2009 contest took place in the Bahamas early Monday (India time) and Stefanƭa FernƔndez from Venezuela was crowned the beauty queen.
This is the first time in many years that an Indian contestant has failed to make it to the top 15.
"I am very surprised by the fact that Ekta didn't even come in the top 15. Indian beauties have always managed to come in either top five or top ten. But this is a complete surprise," designer Ritu Kumar told IANS.
Kumar has been looking after the wardrobe of the Indian contestants in international beauty pageants like Miss Universe and Miss World since 1994.
The last Indian to wear the Miss Universe crown was Lara Dutta who won the title in 2000.
"There must be some discrimination. One can't digest the fact that no one from India has won the crowd for past so many years. Ekta was a very deserving candidate and I believe there is something wrong going on," Rahul Jain of designer duo Rahul-Gunjan said.
Ritu Kumar said: "A lot has changed in the format. What I feel is that a lot depends on the sponsors there who might be dictating their terms. All we can do and have been doing is try and give our best. After all we have to take our chances."
Many people were sceptical about Chaudhary's short hair as Indian beauties are always associated with long tresses.
Leena Singh of Ashima-Leena designer duo feels that it might it one of the reasons for her early elimination.
"She looks very pretty and has Indian looks but I feel her short hair was the main drawback. It didn't gel very well with her Indian looks and costumes," Leena said.
But she maintained that to represent India at the pageant is an achievement in itself.
With India failing to win for so many years, designer Alpana of label Azara feels that it is the time to introspect because the quality of models representing India at the international pageants is deteriorating.
"These things happen and it is very unfortunate. But I feel that this is the time to introspect and think what went wrong. For so many years we haven't produced a winner which means there is something wrong with the selection criteria. This is the time to start doing something about it," Alpana maintained.

The 'Like A Virgin' singer who recently celebrated her 51st birthday, made her 22-year-old boyfriend cry when she refused to wear jewellery he gifted her, reported Mirror online.
Luz gave the singer a set of South American good-luck bracelets, made of thin ribbons which are said to grant the wearer three wishes when they break.
The singer, who is currently on the 'Sticky and Sweet' world tour, told Luz that she could not wear them because they would clash with her Kabbalah bracelets.

Knowing Priyanka Chopra takes a lot of time

August 21st, 2009
When all the film makers these days are coming up with short and specific films Ashutosh Gowarikar on the other hand seems very content about his long and elaborate films. What’s Your Rashee? His latest flick is once again a three hour-long tale, wherein the film will have 13 songs. In the current scenario where even the multiplexes favor films with two-hours of running time, Ashutosh doesn’t seem to be bothered at all. According to him the length of the film has nothing to do with its success and if that is the reason then films like Lagaan and Jodha Akbar wouldn’t have done well at all.
The film is based on a well-known novel Kimball Ravenswood, by Madhu Rye. The story is about a groom and his rendezvous with 12 prospective brides. According to Ashutosh it was not an easy job to picturise all the characters and tracks from the original novel. With the permission of the author the entire novel was modified to make a film out of it. Well with three and a half hours of reel, it looks like Harman has to struggle really hard to find out all about the 12 avatars of his ex-flame Piggy Chops.

Its Kaminey Vs Fast Forward, Shadow, Sikandar at box office

August 21st, 2009
Our filmy box-office took a big leap with the much anticipated Kaminey and astounding Life Partner raking in moolah. Will the films slated for release this Friday make it up to that mark, and will they be able to woo the audience and make bucks at the box-office? Let’s check it out:
Fast Forward: This musical-action drama film based on the art of dance, certainly the film banks on 6 words- ‘From the makers of A Wednesday’; despite the not very luring star cast. A youthful approach towards the film with the presence of Vinod Khanna and Mahesh Manjrekar may pull the audience. But much will depend on the word-of-mouth publicity for Fast Forward to survive, considering Kaminey is seeing a belated weekend in major centers like Mumbai and Pune. Shadow: A man, who is blind in real-life, will see in reel-life- this premise has certainly created curiosity among the cine-goers. Naseer Khan- the debutant actor-producer is himself the USP of the film, as iterated in the beginning of the promos itself. Shadow seems to be getting good opening in the beginning and has potential to survive. The film will certainly fare better on single screens as compared to Multiplexes. But yes, word of caution, the film might lose its audience with negative word-of-mouth if it does not cater to the inquisitiveness it has created. It will also be deciding factor for Naseer Khan, whether he is a- long racehorse or one time wonder.
Sikandar: Although based on the most sensitive issue prevailing in the present times, of that of TERRORISM in Kashmir, this film lacks the appropriate promotions to propel it to box-office success. Ayesha Kapoor, the child actor from BLACK is making a comeback as a 14-year-old, in this film she looks much convincing as a school going Kashmiri Girl. This film has a very dim chance to sail across, all thanks to the lack of promotions. R. Madhavan and Sanjay Suri are the saving grace, which may fetch some targeted fans towards the cinema halls.

Schwarzenegger invites Shah Rukh Khan to dinner

Bollywood News : The actor turned politician has offered to meet Shah Rukh Khan on September 20 in Washington in a bid to diffuse what has become a slight diplomatic row.
Khan, 43, who is considered to be one of the icons of Indian cinema, was held up for almost two hours after falling foul of US border officials in a New York airport at the weekend.
Officials from the US Embassy in Delhi were asked by the Indian government to explain why the film-star was held for so long.
The actor, who has featured on Time Magazine’s ‘50 Most Influential People’ list, was said to have found his experience at Newark Airport ‘embarrassing’.
However, it is not clear whether the actor will accept the invitation.
Shah Rukh Khan has recently signed a £125 million deal with Fox-Searchlight in the US to distribute his latest movie.
Ironically named ‘My Name is Khan’, the film charts racial tensions in the US following the 9/11 terror attacks.
Arriving back home to his Mumbai home, the star explained how the experience four days earlier had affected him.
“I am scared of authorities and rules, so I try to follow the rules of the country I travel to,” he said.
“Whenever I am in America, I have to report at least two hours in advance while travelling within the country for security reasons – they ask me to take off my clothes and shoes, and I do that. “But I never experienced this kind of treatment.”
Shah Rukh Khan denied that the detention drama was a publicity stunt for his forthcoming movie: “I don’t think that I need publicity.”
“If you want to give a tit-for-tat policy to American actors, then call me to frisk Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox whenever they are visiting India,” he added.

Salman reveals that he still gets a tight slap from his mom whenever he does anything wrong. Salman divulged the secret of slapping on Farah Khan’s upcoming show, ‘Tere Mere Beech Mein’.

According to him, Salma’s ardent love and affection has ruined their son. But still he is maa ka ladla and his mother loves him a lot and even wakes for Sallu and stands near the window if he returns home late. Salma joked that they do not need watchman as she does the duty of a night guard.

Katrina Kaif knocked down

Fans are always special and very often their mistakes are unnoticed. Bollywood star Katrina Kaif owes a lot to her fans and so she did not mind when she was knocked down by one of her ardent fans while interacting with Indians at the Independence Day parade in Houston.
Recalling the incident, Kat said, "I was knocked off my feet and fell. Considering it was a 12-year old boy half my size, it did take me my surprise. But I didn't mind.
When you go for these fan interactions, you can't be finicky about people getting too close and not giving you space, etc.
They do want to shake hands, get clicked with you, sign papers etc. I love to mingle with them. And I did so to my heart's content in Houston and Chicago. So what if some got over-excited? Shows how much they love me."
Katrina knows very well that she lacks in many things but it is the love of her fans that keeps her going and she thanks them for recognizing her talent and obliged them for what she is today.

Katrina is not Kaif!

Read it to believe it. Bollywood present sensational Katrina Kaif is actually Katrina Turquotte. This astounding revelation has been made by actor Jackie Shroff’s wife Ayesha Shroff who claimed to have introduced Katrina Kaif to Bollywood.
Revealing the sensational news, Ayesha said, “Katrina had an English surname, which was not easy to pronounce. She is not Katrina Kaif originally. She is Katrina Turquotte. We wanted to give her a surname which would be accepted by the Indian audience. First we thought of naming her Katrina Kazi, but then we thought Kazi would have a religious overtone. So we thought of Kaif”.
Ayesha claimed that Kat’s passport at that time named Katrina Turquotte. What made Katrina to keep her title hidden is not yet known but when Ayesha was asked whether Katrina and she are still in touch, Ayesha replied, “Not really. We met at a party once and just greeted each other.”
Now, from Ayesha’s statement two conclusions can be drawn, first she is the actually Katrina’s real mentor and not Salman Khan and secondly, Katrina is not Kaif but Turquotte.

Shahid Kapoor: Happy and Pretty

Shahid Kapoor is quite happy these days, with a movie like Kaminey and double role of life time, he is definitely on a roll and gets candid with Rajeev Masand in an interview.Rajeev Masand: Kareena Kapoor was quoted in an interview saying ‘I wish Shahid would move on’ this was an insinuation that you had been panting stories about Saif Ali Khan and her. What is your reaction to that?
Shahid Kapoor: I don’t have the time to do all that stuff. I’m pretty busy with the work that I’m doing. I genuinely from my heart wish her all the best in life. I hope she stops thinking about this stuff and stays happy in the place that she is in. I wish her happiness wherever she is and I think she should focus on that. She’s a fine actress and is doing some great work and there is a lot to look forward to for her. I honestly don’t choose to react to these kinds of things because I’m very happy where I am and I’m pretty content.Ever since the day we went our own ways I never spoke about it and I would choose not to as that would be the right thing to do. And I would continue not reacting to this as it would only end up getting dirty and won’t be nice.
Rajeev Masand: Were you surprised that someone you knew so well and closely was willing to believe the worst about you?
Shahid Kapoor: Nothing surprises me anymore. I always choose to remember somebody on the basis of my experiences with them. But I guess each person does what they need to do on their own and that is their life and their decisions.
It’s high time, people forget the Kareena-Shahid episode! Right folks?

Aishwarya Rai’s Fever-ish commitment

Here’s some news for all those who think celebrities are full of tantrums. Aishwarya Rai continued to shoot for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish even though she was running a fever.
This is apparently because she didn’t want her co-star, Hrithik Roshan to waste his dates. Even though she was sick, she reported on the sets in time, much to the surprise of the unit members and didn’t throw any tantrums. According to a source, she continued shooting, in spite of having fever for two days, as she wanted to make it convenient for Hrithik, it being the last two days of his first schedule.

Sohail Khan calls Vivek Oberoi a waiter

Vivek Oberoi wishes he hadn’t called that press conference in April 2003. Yes, that one where he said that Salman Khan had been harassing and threatening him over the phone for his relationship with Aishwarya Rai, who Salman was earlier dating. The poor guy is still paying a price for it. At Ramesh Taurani’s silver anniversary, Sohail Khan, Salman’s younger brother decided to take a potshot at Vivek.
Sohail walked into the party and saw Vivek sipping a drink in a corner. He then went on further in the hall where most of the people were and he saw Vivek standing alone in a corner. Sohail suddenly called out, “Oye Vivek!” Vivek quickly turned to see who had called him. Sohail cheekily looked at a waiter, calling him Vivek and beckoning to him.
Vivek was dismayed to see that Sohail had insulted him. He quietly walked away from where Sohail was standing. Sources have confirmed the incident. Now why was Vivek controlling his anger? Is it because Salman was expected to make an appearance at the event soon? We Khan-not be sure…

Bollywood stars growing cyber friendship


They are hot and sizzling. But internally both were lonely. All the hustle and bustle day and night. But at the end there was not much to share much with one personal.
Priyanka Chopra and Gul Panag felt that all along. They are now finding themselves in great friendship through cyber social networks. The two stunning actresses have become good friends on a social networking website.
This is growing trend in Bollywood. The celebrities do not get much time to communicate with each other. The inner loneliness is bothersome. They are also constantly worried about Paparazzi. They are concerned about crazy sting operation by growing Indian websites, film review sites and so on. They are finding bliss in friendships through cyber social networks.

Aishwarya Rai suffering from swine flu?

David Dhawan is No. 1

Director David Dhawan has denied that the ‘K’ in the spelling of ‘not’ in his forthcoming film, Do Knot Disturb, has any numerological reasons. According to him, the ‘K’ is used to describe the knotty situations that the characters of the film find themselves in. Their lives get complicated due to several reasons, which go back to normal in the end but that’s what the ‘K’ has been used for, and not because of fascination with the letter ‘K’.
The film is a comedy about a rich businessman who has a secret extramarital affair with a supermodel. He pays a waiter to pretend to be the model’s boyfriend and that’s when the film gets hilarious. It stars Govinda, Sushmita Sen, Sohail Khan and Riteish Deshmukh.
Dhawan claims numerology doesn’t attract him except for the ‘No. 1’ alliance. Adding ‘No.1’ into his film names like Biwi No.1, Coolie No. 1, etc. has always been rather lucky. Let’s see how well Do Knot Disturb fares without the ‘No. 1’ support…

Vidya Balan was first choice for All The Best

Not many are aware that Vidya Balan was the first choice for Ajay Devgan’s home production, All The Best. She was first approached by Ajay and Rohit Shetty, the director of All The Best, but eventually this very same role went to Bipasha Basu.
A source claims, “Ajay and Rohit wanted bulk dates from Vidya for their 45 days long shooting schedule in Goa which was to include the entire cast of the film. But since Vidya had already committed her dates to Balki’s Paa and few other important projects she expressed her inability to allocate so many days at a stretch that too for an outdoor shoot.”
Well then Vidya’s loss turned out to be Bipasha’s double gain as during the Goa shoot, Bips ended up getting friendly with Ajay Devgan. And now post, All The Best, she has now landed yet another film with Ajay. She has been signed up by Kumar Mangat and Ajay for their new film opposite Akshaye Khanna. It will be directed by Priyadarshan and is based on honour killings.
