When Lara was no to Blue…


She is smoothly gliding through the blue waters, flaunting her hot body in this Andrew D’Souza’s flick. But did you know initially this hottie was strictly against acting in this movie? Well, it is said that Lara Dutta was quite apprehensive to work in ‘Blue’, for her fear of water.
When Lara was approached by the producers for this underwater action film, her immediate answer was no. Being the most expensive film in the Hindi film industry, the producers were taken aback when she even refused to hear the script. They in turn asked Akshay Kumar’s help to convince her. Lara had severe hydrophobia and that is how Akki suggested her to take up swimming lessons.
Lara recounts that it was a sink or swim situation. However, she stepped into the movie with a brave heart. “I got a coach, who taught me to take the first lap in seven swimming sessions. Then for the next three months we just learnt how to swim and breathe underwater,” stated the actress to sources.
Hmm, now don’t see her swimming beautifully in the promos of ‘Blue’? Looks like Akki’s Fear Factor cajoling has helped here.

Kat’s fame makes director nervous


It is usually the actors who get jittery to work with famed filmmakers. Here it is vice versa.
Birdies revealed that director Rajkumar Santoshi was apprehensive to direct Katrina Kaif. The director brings two young vibrant actors, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif , in ‘Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’.
It is heard that the director was worrying about the actress’s fame overshadowing his failed attempts. And this made him to wear a low profile on the shooting sets. Talking over this, he had stated, “It becomes very difficult to work with an established star like Katrina. I would be very reluctant to ask Katrina for a retake.”
However, our Kat rubbished this in a light manner and said that the director has a good humour sense. She said, “We had a wonderful time working together on the sets. Hope nobody takes him seriously on that.”
Ohh.. On-screen khichayi??

Shilpa Shetty admires Big B


Actress Shilpa Shetty doesn’t wanna miss a single episode of Big Boss-3. Not merely because of her Bahan’s presence, but for the charismatic appeal of Amitabh Bacchan.

I am a hero, not heroine’ – Dia Mirza


Bollywood’s hottie Dia Mirza is likely much excited with her upcoming film ‘Acid Factory’. The actress, who made her debut with ‘Rehna Tere Dil Mein’ and didn’t make a good time in tinsel town with continuous flops. But she expects a big fortune with ‘Acid Factory’ that depicts her in a much tomboyish character with action-packed quotients.
Interacting with media channels, the actress says, “My characterization is known as Max, who doesn’t care about taking risks and ready to do anything mortgaging her life indeed. Possibly, you can label me as film’s hero rather than calling me as heroine.”
Dia Mirza wholeheartedly thanks Shantanu and Nikhil, who had stylized her looks in ‘Acid Factory’.

Bipasha out of Raavan!?

Lagta hai nazar lagayi! The grapevines were buzzing with Bipasha Basu’s entry into Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus ‘Raavan’. Now it is said that the lady is nearly out of the Abhi-Aish starrer movie. Bips was roped in to play Raavan’s (Abhishek) wife Mandodari.
Sources have it that Mandodari’s character seemed using much space in the movie and more dominating than the other leading ladies, Aishwaraya and Priyamani, in the movie. Meanwhile, our Bips is really upset over the news and said, “I am sad... but it’s better than having my role chopped or totally edited... when lot of effort had gone to work out the role for this guest character.” However, the director’s publicist stated that he did not want to any injustice to her role and he would see that they both work together next time. So one has to wait for sometime to see whether this dusky beauty is really off the movie or not. For, it is said that either Mandodari’s character will remain in the movie or Bips will be replaced.
Till then, Bipasha’s fans can look forward to her forthcoming ‘All the Best’, which she is really confident and excited about.
Cheer up Bips!

Avantika Kapoor’s Controversial Entry in B-town

One more Kapoor babe has entered Bollywood and her name is Avantika Kapoor. Although she hails from non-filmy family, within the short span of her arrival she managed to get lucrative offers from prestigious banners. She shared the camera frame for Airtel with none other than Shahrukh Khan and she also featured in three video albums which were made for Apache Indian and Hard Kaur, Sandeep Batra of "Fame Gurukul" fame and the current chartbuster "Radheshyam" made by T Series. And now the doors of Bollywood are opened for her and noted director Faisal Saif has signed her for the main lead in his film "Mahi Mahi".
Speaking about this film she says, "When Faisal Saif offered me a lead role in this film I was very happy and excited but when he narrated me the story all my excitement got evaporated. This is not a routine kind of a-boy-meets-girl type story. In fact it is the story of a love between a Shiya boy and a Sunni girl. I am playing the role of a Sunni girl Husna Khan in it. I know an old rivalry is going on between Shiyas and Sunnis all over the world and lot of blood is flown on the streets all over due to the traditional rivalry between these two sects. Saddam Hussain was Sunni and when he was captured and was taken to ropes, the world showed on TV as to how Shiyas expressed their happiness and celebrated this by dancing on the streets and firing their guns in the air. This shows how deep the rivalry is between these two sects. Till now no film is made on the romance of a Shiya-Sunni boy and girl. On one side I am excited about this film same way I am nervous as well."

Preity Gets Chatty next!


Here is our pretty dimple gal making her way into the small-screens! You saw her stepping onto screens again after a long gap with “Happening” song in ‘Mein Aur Mrs. Khanna’.

Preity is quite excited about her television debut. However everything about the deal is hush-hush right now and no one is allowed to talk about it,” stated the sources.
Hmm, do you remember the last time when Preity interviewed people on TV? ‘Lakshya’ and before that ‘Mission Kashmir’...

Sherlyn Chopra, KRK and Rajesh Khanna in Big Boss 3


These days, the entire public glare is all set on ‘Big Boss 3’ – ready to hit the small screens by next month. To be precise, the season 2 hosted by Shilpa Shetty wasn’t a big hit as it dropped down the charts of TRP.
But nothing seems to have dashed the spirits of programme program producers as they’ve decide emblazon this season with grand fiestas brimmed with hotties, drolleries and superstars. After sensationalizing with the presence of Amitabh Bacchan, the latest we hear from the closer circuit is about the confirmation of alluringly outrageous Sherlyn Chopra, our own super hero Kamal R Khan of ‘Deshdrohi’ fame and more celebs.
However, yesteryear superstar Rajesh Khanna is over dilemma as he has chose to opt between his participation in ‘Big Boss 3’ or a yet-to-be-aired show in Doordarshan. The producers are keen on getting Rajesh Khanna out of that deal and rope him herein for BB-3.
Perhaps, it could be the best juncture of yesteryear superstars sharing their memories

Salman carries Kareena’s shopping bags


Going by the promos of ‘Main Aur Mrs. Khanna’, one can see Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor coochie-cooing with each other. Already the pair is attracting oohs and aahs; that might earn them the lovely couple of the year tag. Say, it might be the deep relationship that both the actors share – Kareena’s sis had worked with Salman before and he in turn knows Kareena from a very young age.
According to sources, Salman-Kareena shows a great rapport on the sets too. It is heard that once when they were shooting in Melbourne, Bebo had went for shopping, and Salman was beside her to carry her bags. Not only that, he was very generous enough to pay her bill too, without her knowledge. Surprising the actress in the process when she found out!
Birdies said that he has even gifted her a 2. 5 lakh worth limited edition bag! It seems that Kareena has showed off this gift in their movie. Now, the actress is really gung-go about Salman’s sweet gestures. She claims that he is a wonderful person at heart.
Ahem, we don’t have anything to say on this

A stitch in time saves Kat’s award night


The 'GQ Men of the year Awards 2009' was recently held. The ceremony had several celebrities, all dressed in their best, under one roof. The Bachchans, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Katrina Kaif, Karan Johar, Lara Dutta, Malaika Arora Khan, Abhay Deol, Irrfan Khan, Dino Morea and many other big-wigs. Lots of air-kissing and hugging took place when the famed people met each other. Amidst the fanfare, our missy was caught in distress. Katrina Kaif won ‘Woman of the Year ’award. But prior to this honourable moment Kat had went through a dilemma. Read more to know further…
The actress was standing behind the stage waiting to receive the award, when her friend mistakenly stepped on her red gown. To her utter shock, the dress ripped right up to Kat’s thigh! “For the first time I really freaked out, as the organisers kept telling me it was time to go on stage. I asked my friend to go fetch a needle and thread to sew up the tear but the poor girl was so nervous that her hands kept shaking and the stitching was crooked.” That was when Kareena’s stylist Anahita Shroff stepped in. When a panicky Katrina approached the stylist for help, Anaita just asked her to stay calm. And within five minutes she stitched the dress so finely that the tear wasn’t visible. Phew! In nick of time, Kat with a sigh of relief walked on stage to get her award.
Our question: why wear such long gown in the first place?

Soha caught by kisses


Soha has finally eaten her words. In Vishesh Films production’s 'Tum Mile', Soha Ali Khan has given into director’s demand to kiss the hero, Emraan Khan. The actress unwilling went ahead to smooch Emraan as the script required the pair to do it.
The director, Kunal Deshmukh, said that the actress was initially very reluctant to do it but she later agreed. “I told Soha at the outset that the script demanded a kissing scene since both of this couple are into Live-in Relationship and they need to look romantically involved with each other, so she agreed to do kissing scene,” said the director. However, after finishing a kiss scene, the director later realised that one more scene needed a kiss.
Stating on this incident, Soha said, “I had reservations as this was the first time but after discussions with the director, we went ahead with it. It wasn't in the script, that's why it took me by surprise. But it is a very sweet, tame kiss and is shot in good taste.”
Finally Emraan gets to kiss a naive beauty!
‘Tum mile’ tells a story about two lovers who are caught in the 2005 Mumbai deluge. Now let’s wait for this November to allow this movie wash over us!

Celina to take the judge’s seat


Celina Jaitly will soon be seen as a reality show’s judge. Donning this avatar for first time, Celina Jaitly will be the judge of ‘Down Under’, a beauty show similar in line of ‘Project Runway’ and ‘America's Next Top Model’. For this, the actress is said to fly off to Australia where the show’s finale is going to be held.
According to sources, the show is being produced on a lavish scale and will air towards the end of this year. It's a mix of Project Runway (which focuses on fashion & designing) and America's Next Top Model (which revolves around modelling & grooming). It is said that candidates from all over the world will participate. On this offer, Celina looks to be really excited as of now but doesn’t want to reveal much on it. The actress loves to read about fashion and follows the latest trends and has watched Project Runway. And so she knows how to approach this show, according to her close source.
Another excitement which grapples her is the Kannada version of ‘Aitraaz’. The hit Akki-Kareena-Priyanka movie is being remade as ‘Srimathi’. Celina here plays the vamp, her first taste with the negative role

Sonam wooed People


Although the Masakali girl doesn’t have any hits to her name, She still manages her way into people’s heart. The charming actress was recently tagged as the best dressed celebrity by the People magazine, according to reports.
Sonam won the first place followed by Kareena Kapoor. Whereas, Priyanka Chopra, Twinkle Khanna, Katrina Kaif were given the third, fourth and fifth place respectively! But truly, going by her short-list of movies, Sonam has been seen as the modestly dressed actress. Even for events and shows this lass showed up in elegant attires. Said the young actress, “My style isn't about trends. I don't let the clothes wear me, I wear them.”
Sonam Kapoor adores yesteryear actresses Waheeda Rehman and Nutan. Looks like she is inspired by their simply yet striking beauty. On her style mantra, Sonam had stated that she has her own style fundas and tries to be herself. “It is individual style that grabs attention. I guess I'm very confident in any outfit I wear and that comes through. But the bottom line is that I love clothes,” said Sonam.
One can next see Sonam in her father Anil Kapoor’s production ‘Ayesha’, based on Jane Austen’s novel ‘Emma’. Here Sonam has been attired in best clothes, which are said to be sourced from several Indian and international designers.
Keep flying Sonam!

Katrina bani Sambo!


It is amusing to hear the happenings at the shooting… Working for several days together, the moviemates go into a casual mode. Names give way to nicknames. And here is a latest one…
This happened on the location of Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani’. The shooting was on the roll in Goa where Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif had to get off from a jet ski onto a ladder hanging from a 200 ft overhead bridge. Sources on the spot said that Ranbir was amazed at the speed Katrina did the stunt, while he was struggling with the same. The beauty surpassed Ranbir’s expectations much to the surprise of the actor. And so the actor went on to nickname Kat for this. “Katrina was so good in the action scenes that I actually named her ‘Rambo ki sister Sambo,” said Ranbir.
“Ranbir was pleasantly surprised that Katrina is not a delicate beauty, but also a toughie when it comes to performing stunts.” sources added.
Well, Ranbir, appearances are deceptive

And now ‘Pyaar Ke Side Effects 2’


Looks the season of 2 is in! After the success of their movies, it seems filmmakers are gearing up to bring sequel of those. No Entry 2, Dostana 2, Race 2, Partner 2… Don 3! Phew! It looks like these movies are named like the British Kings – King Lewis I, Richard III… got it? Ok jokes apart…
Sources had it that Pritish Nandy is all set to bring second innings of Rahul Bose-Mallika Sherawat starrer ‘Pyaar Ke Side Effects’. The movie went well among the young junta and so the producer thought to give its sequel titled, ‘Shaadi Ke Side Effects’. It is said that the original couple will be replaced by Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor. Hmm, going by this couple, one had enough of their fighting quota with ‘Kambakkht Ishq’. We wonder how will they be in this one! It is reported that the script is ready and Kareena has liked her role in this version.
While a source from the Pritish Nandy Communications said they even have the rights to the pre-sequel and sequel of ‘Sholay’, but they will make it when they are sure about the screenplay.
Well, should we expect another sizzling affair from this one? Let’s wait to see

No Entry 2 with double mazaa


Wanted’ is sitting at the top, enjoying its success. And here is its producer Boney Kapoor planning his next venture – a sequel of the superhit rib-tickling comedy ‘No Entry’.
Sources had it that the movie is going to be titled as ‘Be Positive – No Entry 2’ – based on the one-liner “Be Positive” that Anil Kapoor kept saying often in ‘No Entry’. The catch is that the trio of heroes – Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan and Salman Khan – will play double roles in the sequel. They will be co-starring with their earlier partners - Lara Dutta, Celina Jaitley and Esha Deol. However, it is doubtful about Bipasha Basu’s involvement. Three new heroines will be roped in to support the double-role heroes.
As earlier, Anees Bazmi too will be directing the newer version. It is said that the script is ready and the movie will go on floors by the end of the year. Boney Kapoor has also hinted that besides this, he has plans to bring a movie with his wife, for which he has got a good script.
Well, don’t you think we had some “wanted” news here?

Rani waits for action


Dil bole haye rabba!
The hype and promos didn’t work in favour of the recent YRF’s release. In spite of the heroine’s attempt to play a munda, didn’t go down well with the audience. ‘Dil Bole Haddipa’ sadly missed the target.
But our Rani is not visibly depressed. With her bubby attitude she still seems to maintain confidence to prove herself next time. Though Rani found a very challenging role in playing a boy, the critics didn’t seem to have given it their words.
She played it very low before DBH, keeping away from the scenario; and she justified it as her preparations in giving her hundred percent to the viewers.
With never-give-up attitude, Rani is looking ahead for her next shot. She seems to ruminating over the idea to give some action next. It is said that the actress is fascinated with the martial art culture, especially of south and Punjabi ones and wants to try highlighting it. Said the light eyed beauty, “I like giving my audience their paisa vasooli.
I want to do an action film which will get my adrenaline high, do something I have never done before. I want to do a real Indian martial art film. We have a martial art culture down south and even Punjabi martial art is so interesting.”
Being a feel-good-movie freak, one can see her more in romantic comedies. But now Rani is determined to push herself for more difficult roles.
Hmmm, God please add Thoda Magic and make Rani’s career from Black to colours

How Lara overcame hydrophobia?


Sounds quite interesting as a film puts an end to a phobia that persisted right from her childhood, isn’t? Lara Dutta had felt that her life is at big stake when she was offered with underwater adventure ‘BLUE’. But, as astonishment of disbelief, the actress has become a professional diver after completing her biggest magnum opus ‘BLUE’. Indeed, the 31-yr old actress seems to be relieved from hydrophobia.
“Thanks to Ko Samui (Thailand),” says Lara who trained her to be a professional diver. Andrew D’Souza, director of ‘Blue’ had approached him to train the actors.
Unlike her previous films, Lara Dutta will have more prominence in this flick. Of course, there are whole lots of stunt sequences performed by her.
The multi-starrer film is all set to hit screens on Oct 16 for the occasion of Diwali

Sunday, October 4, 2009

Hereon one can see this oomph beauty more in bare waist. Koena Mitra had got few tattoos done on her waist, finger and recently on ankle. She is sporting a tattooed belly chain on her waist and the word Love on her ring finger.

According to sources, she said the belly chain tattoo took over seven hours while she had to take several breaks for doing the ankle tattoo. It was more painful as it was made over bone and muscle, she recalled.Talking about her ankle tattoo, Koena said, “It is red and black. It's like a chain with the thorns in the shape of spiky hearts in the knots. I didn't want to do a big tattoo or faces or motifs. This way, I can keep them hidden when I want to.” This is said to be her first coloured tattoo. The sexy siren doesn’t like wearing jewels everyday so she felt that the anklet tattoo would serve more like jewellery.

Ouch! That was really a painful yet innovative idea, Koena

Aamir’s special screening for ‘3 idiots’


It’s worth ennobling Aamir Khan as ‘3 Idiots’ for his very mere unique nature of handling his each project. Irrespective of the film being his own banner or anyone, filmmaker or producer, Aamir Khan completely believes in ‘Picture Perfect’ formulas.
Although ‘3 Idiots’ isn’t Aamir’s home production, Aamir Khan has been vividly focusing for film’s best results. According to the sources, he has been holding special screening of the film for his close group of circles and friends.
Of course, he urged them to revert with their feedbacks and accordingly modifications. Naturally, this is to make certain changes if situations arise.
As known earlier, Aamir Khan has planned to release the film for Christmas as alike his previous films ‘Taare Zameen Par’ and ‘Ghajini’.
The film is based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel ‘Five point someone’ which revolves around the lives of three unsuccessful IIT students and their encounters

Item song? Not “Happening”: Preity


The “Happening” song of ‘Mein or Mrs. Khanna’ is really turning out to be happening among the junta. Preity Zinta is truly looking refreshing and ravishing as ever in the song. But she has only one qualm. Preity is not in favour of people calling it as an ‘item song’. She stated that the song was an outcome of lot of hard work and dedication. It is said to be brought out with an aesthetical sense and is in fact a fun song. Preity felt that it is not a good idea to call it an item song even before the film has released.
Echoing her complain, director Prem Soni too claimed that it is not fair to give “Happening” an item tag. He said that Preity agreed to do be a part of the movie as a token of friendship for Salman and gave her consent to do a fun, dance number.
Justifying her role in the movie, Soni reaveled, “Preity plays Hasina Jagmagiya. It is a character which goes into the song Happening. Her character is very integral to the story as she is the one who leads to the climax.”
Taking into consideration that this is something that Preity has done for first time, one should call “Happening” as her comeback song. What’s your take, eh?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan grabs the 9th place


It’s been more than a decade that she won the crown. But this former Miss World is still literally reigning the world!
The popular International Harpers and Queen magazine had listed 100 beautiful women and among them was our Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! Not only that! She has taken the ninth rank in the list, reports say.
Meanwhile, Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is said to be topping the list, followed by Supermodel Christy Turlington. Among other beauties, Queen Rania of Jordan has also found her place in the chart.
Aish, Apki To Ash Hai!!

Blue’ now in pen drive


Modern technology is taking life along with it on a hi-fi ride. And movies are among those which use the latest upgraded technology.
Debut director Anthony D’Souza’s ‘Blue’ is making the right sounds these days. Underwater stunts, Hollywood artist, impressive cast, striking music and… its pen drive! Didn’t follow it? Well, recently the movie launched the audio on pen drives and memory chips! Yes, the movie has touched the height of innovation for the first time with this idea.
A production of Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd., ‘Blue’ is labelled under T- Series. The audio was launched by Oscar winner and AR Rahman (music director of ‘Blue’), Akshay Kumar and Bhushan Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director of T-Series. The Maestro from Madras was overwhelmed at Blue’s idea of bringing out the music in such a novel way. He exclaimed, “This is fantastic. What one must ensure is that the sound is of the highest quality. Anything new is exciting for people and those, who believe in owning legitimate music, would be excited by this product. It is also a gate opener for future expansions, because right now the music is going to have MP3 quality and then in future it could have more high quality WAV files like 96 k, 24 bit and people will definitely enjoy probably four times better than a CD quality of music. So this is a great starting point.”
Even the Akki was amused with this innovative album. According to sources, Akki said, “After the pen drive, we’ll perhaps have the music album in an injection form. All you need to do is to prick the needle and you’ll break into song.”
Wow, now that’s what we call truly out of blue

Asin says:‘Don’t forsake me’


After getting herself locked with constraints of promoting for her debut flick ‘Ghajini’, Asin is sure about not letting the same thing happen again. Indeed, the actress has voluntarily approached Vipul Shah and has pleaded to include her in the promotional activities for ‘London Dreams’.
Earlier, the actress had suffered a lot for ‘Ghajini’ as Aamir Khan had impinged strict restrictions on Asin stopping her from getting involved in more promotions as well in media interviews.
As a matter of fact, Vipul Shah makes an open statement that the promotional activities for ‘London Dreams’ will kick-start with Asin. Adding more, he utters, ‘Usually, the first leg of promotional works will have the lead actors. But we’re just trying out our best on lady luck this time with Asin commencing the process.’
London Dreams features Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn and Asin in lead roles. Earlier A.R. Rahman was supposed to score music and due to hectic schedules, Shankar-Ehasan-Loy replaced him.

Bipasha avoids sitting on John’s bikes


Men are always known for their obsession with their petrol fed two-wheeler pets. There is some instinct in them that snaps up if any small bit changes in their bikes. So much they won’t even mind hurting their beloveds.
A die-hard lover of bikes, John Abhraham won’t have a single moment of peace when his long time girlfriend Bipasha Basu sits on his bike. And for that matter the hot actress even avoids going out with him on his bikes. John had said, "Bipasha doesn't like sitting behind me on bikes as I keep complaining about the bike getting scratched or damaged.”
Recently, John has been in Delhi, as the brand ambassador of Yamaha Motor, to launch the three new bikes. John is very passionate towards bikes, for he candidly said, “I love motorcycles, I am married to them and I have had a honeymoon period with them. I don't let anyone sit on my bikes or touch them.”
It is said that he is ardent shopper for helmets and said to have different helmets for different days.
Well John hope Bips doesn’t puncture your bike’s wheels someday!

Kangana set to give a variety


Her attempt to portray something different in her recent release might have gone in vain. But Kanagan Ranaut would have silently decided “mera Vaada Raha” to give something more different films here on.
After playing gray shades and alcohol-drug addict earlier, Kanaga has variety of roles to offer. Already people are anticipating for her movie ‘Kites’ with Hrithik Roshan - where she is playing a salsa-dancer and Hrithik her dance instructor. Then she will be coming together with Ajay Devagan for the first time in ‘Once Upon A Time in Mumbai’. Based on the shades of yesteryear actress Madhubala, here Kanagana is back with Anurag Basu, the one who gave her first film, and then did two consecutive films with her under the Mahesh Bhatt banner.
Looks like Kangana is out to work with popular actors for the first time. She has next ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ with R. Madhavan, then a multi-starrer ‘No Problem’. Kangana will soon get busy working with Amitabh Bachchan for ‘Actor’, and with Sanjay Dutt in an untitled project!
“Each of these is a different genre from anything I have done before. So, it does feel like a time of many firsts...my first comedy, first romantic comedy, first thriller and so on! Exciting!” had penned the ‘Fashion’ actress on her blog.
Well, well, well we hope the best works for this lady!

Bas Karo! : Aishwaraya Rai Bachchan


It is time when paani sar ke upar se chala gaya hai. Finally, our lady has broken her silence, though indirectly.
Amidst the battle of words and confessions between Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi, the victim who is suffering the wounds is Aishawarya Rai Bachchan. Salman and Vivek over few days have been attracting the media with their past stories about the relationship with the Bachchan Bahu. And now Aish seemed to have lost her peace of mind and even her emotional control. Unable to take more gossips, sources said that, the beauty had burst into tears on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’. She was heard to be saying, that she is living the way she wants and wishes others would do the same. “Just let me be,” she cried.
Hmm, that’s so bad… we hope the two heroes would avoid bringing up old issues hereafter. Its not good to hurt your loved ones, we say

Dil Bole Haddipa screened exclusively for Rani parivar


Although few days are left for it release, Rani Mukherji’s family was treated with a special screening of ‘Dil Bole Haddipa’.
Sources say that normally, such a screening of an YRF project would never happen. But Aditya Chopra himself organised a screening of the movie exclusively for the Mukerjis at the YRF studios.
The movie’s leading Rani was accompanied by her parents, her brother Raja and his wife. Since then the brother is really impressed with his sister’s performance and states that it is one her best ones. Every actor has those three or four films that he/she is best remembered for and this movie will be one such film for her, said Raja.
Well, we surely have to give in to him, for Rani has given her best efforts for this one. Rani had not only tried a male get-up but also tried mastering a game (cricket) which is had no interest in at all before.
We really wish with ‘Dil Bole Haddipa’ Rani starts ruling again
