Aishwarya, Bipasha and Sonam were missing from Cannes

Aishwarya, Bipasha and Sonam were missing from Cannes!

Aishwarya, Bipasha and Sonam were missing from Cannes
Cannes is one big film festival which brings stars under one roof. Bollywood stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Arjun Kapoor and few others were invited to walk the red carpet of the event.

To everyone’s surprise, no one turned up at the red carpet and went missing. People who have always been waiting to get a glimpse of the eternal beauty of Bollywood Aishwarya Rai Bachchan could not see her anywhere at the festival. The other actors could also not be seen anywhere. The only actor from India who was seen walking the red carpet was Frieda Pinto who has very less to do with Bollywood.

Well, the Indian filmmakers are all set to make their presence felt at the event with their movies. Films like Miss Lovely (Un Certain Regard), Gangs of Wasseypur (Directors' Fortnight) and Peddlers (Critics' Week) will be featured at the festival.

The viewers will also witness a debate on “Multiplicities of Indian Cinema – Bollywood the tree obscuring the forest?”, which will be attended by Anurag Kashyap, Pierre Salvadori (SRF), Hubert Niogret (producer/film critic), Patrick Frater (journalist), Sunil Doshi, and Sudhir Mishra on Wednesday 23rd May, 2:30 pm.

Well, god knows what happened to the stars that they couldn’t make it to the festival. We sure deserve an explanation.

Shahrukh Khan wants MCA to apologize

There have been speculations about Shahrukh Khan’s abusive behavior at the Wankhede Stadium Mumbai, stating that the actor got into a brawl when he went to pick up his kids outside.

But what has the actor to say about it, is completely a different tale. Shahrukh said, “I will not deny the fact that I was abusive, but it started when this man abused me in Marathi. I went to pick up my children. I wasn’t there because I wanted to be on the field. When some people see a celebrity, they like to be obnoxious.”

When asked about him being banned from entering the Wankhede stadium, he said, “They should apologize to me. This is extremely high-handed behavior. Personally, if this is the kind of behavior meted out to people, I wouldn’t want to go there. Let them decide…extreme attitude of highhandedness.”

What angered the actor was the treatment that meted out to his kids. He said, “I am extremely disturbed that they should manhandle kids. They were leaving. You can’t get physical with little girls who are not even 13. How can they manhandle children?”

The actor has asked the MCA to apologize and we stand here for the actor. What say guys?

Will Madhuri Dixit begin her second innings in a trail blazing fashion
It is known that Madhuri Dixit has joined the bandwagon of the Bollywood divas who are beginning their second innings and this time contrary to her previous good girl image, the diva is donning bold avatars. The actress will be seen in challenging roles in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Dedh Ishqiya and Gulab Gang.

Recently, Bollywood diva Karisma Kapoor made her comeback with Dangerous Ishq but the flick could not meet the expected response and same goes with Raveena Tandon whose item song couldn’t create any magic and finally she has been relegated to the small screen. Now, here a question arises that would Madhuri be able to recreate her magic with her comebacks.

Everyone knows that the dancing diva shook the chords of the audience with her debut; she cast a spell of miasma over them. Her journey from Tezaab to Devdas has been incredible, the lady has still the aura and now she is all set to begin her second innings.

But would people accept her the same way before, though the actress got waters tested about her acceptability through Aaja Nach Le, the flick could not do well at the box office but Madhuri was acclaimed for her performance which clearly shows that the diva has still a fiery spark in her that can ignite the screens once again.

Madhuri you are quite unique!

Hope with such entries and twists the show will garner good ratings.

Giaa Manek and Hina Khan finally make it to Jhalak
Just a couple of days back we had updated you all how the channel war was creating trouble for the actors like Giaa Manek and Hina Khan.

Two of Star Plus’ ideal bahus were roped in by the makers of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, which has switched to Colors from Sony. Apparently, Giaa and Hina are highly famous as Gopi from Saath Nibhana Saathiya and Akshara from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai respectively. Thus their inclusion in the list surely guaranteed attention and hype for the show.

But things became a little troublesome as Star Plus warned them to withdraw their names. In fact, the officials had even went on the verge of asking Rashmi Sharma (maker of Saathiya) to replace Giaa if she as so keen on taking JDJ. The actors too faced some traumatic moments as on 16 May 2012, the Association of Motion Pictures and Television Producers (AMPTP) and CINTAA officials met up following complaints by the two actors of their plight to CINTAA. However, succor came from elsewhere: top officials from Colors and Star met and decided to come to a truce. They agreed on exchanging actors for non-fiction shows.

And the latest info is that both Giaa and Hina Khan are indeed a part of JDJ and they will continue to be the leads in Saath Nibhana and Yeh Rishta respectively.

Just hope there won’t be any more issue!

Television actress Ojaswi Oberoi, who is now days seen playing the lead Meenakshi in Life OK’s Aasma Se Aagey, recently took a dig at reality shows and said that such shows up the stress levels among participants.

"I believe people think a lot today. They have become very ambitious. They forget that they have other responsibilities and personal lives. Somewhere they don't realise that they are going in the wrong direction and therefore get stressed," said Ojaswi, who was previously seen in Star Plus’ Behenein.

As we have seen in her new show, Ojaswi's character Meenakshi is a dreamer and enters a reality show to fulfill her dream. She admits she can relate to her character and said, "Meenakshi is a sweet, simple girl. She belongs to a financially weak family. She believes that she can achieve her dream."

"When I come into the get-up of Meenakshi, I really don't have to act. I am just like Meenakshi. I also dream a lot and believe that when you have faith in your life and in your destiny, you will achieve your dreams," she added.

The actress is a trained Kathak dancer and has performed worldwide. "I have 13 years of experience in Kathak and I enjoy dancing," she told the sources.

Sonal Chauhan takes swimming lessons along with Neil Nitin Mukesh for 3G
Sonal Chauhan, the captivating beauty who won hearts playing the love interest to Emraan Hashmi in Jannat, has been hiding out since long.

With her debut being such a major hit all were expecting Sonal to take up meaty roles but she just stood away and wasn’t seen on the celluloid. But looks like her hiatus is all over as she is gearing up for a return with a bang! As heard from closed sources in town, Sonal is now to be seen alongside Neil Nitin Mukesh in the film 3G.

The film will be shot in Fiji and the whole cast and crew will be in Fiji for about 2 months. Sources say that Sonal is really working hard for her role and is said to have just completed her swimming training and is all set to take on scuba diving as well.

Being a non-swimmer, she went through a very strict and commanded training routine for the past few months. A source said, ''What's ironic is the fact that Sonal was hydro phobic ever since she was a child and would completely avoid stepping into the water. She didn't want a stunt double to do any of her scenes and thus decided to take her fear head on. She started the initial bit of training with a world renowned scuba training instructor and will be completing the remainder of her training in Fiji. She's totally committed to making this work for her and her character.''

Hope her hard work pays back!

Indian Idol, aired on the channel Sony has always kept up the spirit of the channel with the good TRPs that it brought but now it seems that the show makers are in a dilemma if they will be able to keep up the TRP of this season like the others or not.

The latest news that struck our ears about the show is that the famous music composer and singer A R Rahman will be joining the panel of judges on the show.

So how did all this happen, and what is the main motive behind the channel offering him this opportunity?

And to be precise, with Anu Malik, Sunidhi Chauhan and Salim Merchant already holding their grips, Rahman’s presence is sure to make them jittery.

Siddharth Shukla is giving competition to Jagya in Balika Vadhu on Colors
Handsome hunk actor Siddharth Shukla has taken an entry in Colors’ Balika Vadhu as Shivraj Shekhar. Being a government officer he is looking super impressive in this avatar. He stayed away from the small screen since Luv U Zindagi on Star Plus drew curtains.

While speaking to sources he disclosed why he stayed away from television, “I had met with an accident in November 2011 wherein I had a ligament tear and the injury was really bad. I could hardly walk. Hence, I had to take a break from work. My surgery took place in February 2012 and later I recovered. So when Balika came my way, I said yes. I was away from tube because my health did not permit me to work”.

Further when asked what if his character clashes with Shashank Vyas playing Jagya on screen, he said “You just have to do your work honestly. But even then if you’re compared with someone, then I’d say let the best man win.”

Siddharth is a smart looking man who works with beautiful looking belles in different shows. So, doesn’t he get attracted to his co stars? “Just like in any other organization, when you work with different people, you gel as a team. Be it boys or girls, we hang out together and go out for coffee and watching movies. And amidst the bonding, if someone develops a feeling for someone, then there is no harm at all. And guess what? I have always been fortunate to have worked with pretty looking girls”, says Siddharth.

Parineeti Chopra credits Habib Faisal for Ishaqzaade success

Parineeti Chopra credits Habib Faisal for Ishaqzaade success
 After impressing one and all with her vivacious stint as Dimple in her maiden venture Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl, actress Parineeti Chopra has hit the jackpot for the second time with Ishaqzaade.

The young and vibrant love tale, full of anger and vengeance, stars Parineeti alongside star kid Arjun Kapoor. They have floored everyone with their power packed acting skills and tremendous on-screen chemistry. Success of the film has once again made Parineeti bag accolades from all ends, but the girl is courteous enough to thank the director Habib Faisal for this feat.

She says, “Habib Sir is a mind blowing writer and I can say that he is one of the best writers that we have in our country. He has evolved and lived with the characters while writing the story and this adds to his direction abilities. He has acute clarity about his characters, whether it's their walk, talk, mannerisms, body language, facial expressions etc. It becomes easy to work with such directors and you get to learn a lot. He is a gifted writer/director and the more you interact with him, the more you realize that”.

Parineeti went on saying, “Full credit to Habib Sir here since in real life, Arjun and I aren't Parma or Zoya. Perfectionist that he is, Habib Sir prepared us for the role through workshops and other sessions for four full months. We lived lives of Parma and Zoya and were just being them instead of playing them. We took these characters home and that's the reason why it all looks so effortless on screen. Honestly, a lot of hard work has gone in it and now I can safely say that it has paid off."

Guess we too agree with you Parineeti!

Katrina Kaif praises Aamir Khan's Satyamev Jayate
Aamir Khan’s debut TV show Satyamev Jayate aired on Star Plus bagged huge media attention and post the telecast of the first episode, the whole Bollywood stood up praising the Perfectionist.

Be it the likes of legends like Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan or the young bloods like Riteish Deshmukh, Priyanka Chopra and many to mention, everyone went gaga over Aamir and his show. And the latest one to join the esteemed list is none other than his co-star from Dhoom3, Katrina Kaif.

Interestingly, Kat is yet to work with Aamir as Dhoom 3 hasn’t gone on the floors owing to Aamir’s busy schedule but she is already smitten by the mighty Khan. Moreover, she has not even watched Satyamev Jayate but is fully sure that the show is in news for all right reasons. The Barbie doll, who will now be seen with ex-flame Salman Khan in YRF’s Ek Tha Tiger and a romantic saga alongside Shahrukh Khan, can’t stop raving about the Khans.

She feels that all three of them have a distinct style and that is what makes them stand apart from the rest in town. So far she has got to work with SRK and Salman and is now counting on days to shoot her first scene with Aamir.

The lady says that Aamir has a different style of working which always yields the desired results. Praising the Khan, she said, “Whatever he does is of high quality and he has lived up to expectations”. She is sure that their film will also win hearts of all!

Well, we too hope the same Kat!

Jay Mehta and Ekta Kapoor get into a title tussle
Contrary to what William Shakespeare had said, "What's in a name”, two of entertainment industry’s big names are hell-bent on reversing the adage.

Buzz has it that TV world’s renowned production houses, namely Balaji Telefilms and Jay Mehta Productions have entered into a tussle over the title of their respective shows. We have already brought this into your notice that both the production houses are churning out big budgeted shows for Zee TV. It was Balaji to first reveal out the name as Tere Ishq Nachaye. Does that remind you of something?

Well, you are right, just a day before the Jay Mehta show also came up with the same name. As heard, the show made under Balaji and co produced by writer Saba Mumtaz-Red Blue White Films has actors like Saraa Khan and Rajev Paul. It has been pushed till September 2012; hence the channel has given their title to Jay Mehta Productions as it will hit the floors earlier.

When Saba was contacted about the same, she said, "I really have no idea about this. Give me some time to figure out. But I don’t think this can happen as the title Tere Ishq Nachaye is registered with Balaji Telefilms and Saba Mumtaz."

Jay confirmed the title but showed his oblivion to Balaji also having the same title for their show! Let us now see who will finally win this Name War!

Cezanne Khan is glad that fans still love him as Anurag Basu
 Cezanne Khan became a household name as he played the extremely popular Anurag Basu in Balaji Telefilms’ Kasauti Zindagii Kay aired on Star Plus.

His on-screen chemistry with co-star Shweta Tiwari aka Prerna set the small screen on fire and the two are still adored by many of their fans. However, ever since Cezanne made an exit from Kasauti, one has been missing his presence on the tube.

Recently, when sources got in touch with the stunner, this is what he had to say in concern with his whereabouts: "I am enjoying my life. I am away from the small screen as I don't want to take up a role just for the sake of it. I want something that will create an impact in the minds of television viewers. I got offers, but I won’t take up any role for the sake of money. Acting is my passion and I want to do something convincing”.

He further continued, "I am happy spending time with my family. Apart from that, of and on I keep doing tele-serials (episodics) for GEO and Pakistan TV.”

When asked if he also feels the high level of competition around, Cezanne stated, "Yes, time has changed and things have changed. Lot of news faces have come in, but as they old is gold and demand for popular faces are still high”.

Many people call Cezanne as media shy but retorting back, he said, "I am not media shy; it’s just that I am nothing to share. When I will have, I will talk to everyone. I am waiting for some concrete role to come my way wherein I can showcase my acting abilities. It should fit my age, not very old or young. I want viewers to remember it. But I am thankful that fans still remember me as Anurag Basu”.

Ashish Sharma justifies quitting Chandragupta Maurya
With Imagine TV shutting down unexpectedly, many of its shows also met the same end. But luckily, Chandragupta Maurya, which created a lot of buzz since it went off air, has managed to find a new channel ready to air it.

As we had last updated you, Sony TV has brought the rights of the show and is all willing to air the historical saga. But buzz even states that show’s lead, Ashish Sharma aka Chandragupta Maurya, won’t be a part of it as he has moved on with Jay Mehta's next on Zee TV.

While one was finding Jay Mehta’s show as the reason behind Ashish’s absence from Maurya, the actor refuted saying that his contract with the makers (Sagar Arts and 72 Degree Northe) would have come to an end. He added, "If the show would have continued, I would have hoped that it ended by my contract period so that I could chase my dream of producing short films”.

Ashish even said, "It was unfortunate that the show shut down. We were all working towards the part where Chandragupta would become the king. I am not sure if the show will come on another channel or not. Even if it does, it will not start before July and by then my contract would be over. I can’t continue for I have my above commitments which will get delayed by a year and a half and that is something which I can’t afford. I agree professional decisions are harsh to take but yet you need to go ahead with them”.

Well, we hope you create magic with the new show Ashish!

We know you all are aware of the handsome hunk Mohit Sehgal playing the lead role in Star Plus’ soon to be aired daily Khamoshiyan helmed by Trilogy Krikos and Shakti Anand-Sai Deodhar's production house.

But what may sound news to you is the fact that the show has all the chances of bringing in two leads. The show will see two leads; one character is of a well-educated person who is living the life of a farmer, while the other one will be of a polished guy.

If believe the sources then actor Shakti Anand is going to play the role of the simpleton. Shakti, who has turned producer with this show, has given the look test and if all goes as planned then he will essay the character of Garv, a guy with a rough look. And Mohit on the other end will play the smart looking Nikhil.     

When sources got in touch with Shakti, he rebuked the news and said, "I am just the producer on the show. I am not acting. I do not know from where you got this news."

So far we have come to know that Suchitra Bhandekar, Bharti Achrekar, Shruti Ulfat, Suhas Joshi, and Sharad Ponkshe are part of the huge cast.

She was just waiting for the production house to get a suitable replacement and her wait seems to be over now. While speaking to the sources about her exit from the daily, she said, “15 May 2012 was my last shooting day on the sets of Mrs. Kaushik. It was a great experience to work with the entire cast of the serial. I will surely miss them. I have no complaints with the production house and I am quitting the show due to personal reasons. It was a hard decision to take but it’s time to move on in life. I don’t know who will henceforth essay my character but whoever it is, I would like to wish her all the luck.”

Sana Khan and Shaleen Malhotra to play leads in Four Lions' next on Star Plus
After bringing up trend setting shows and highly adored love stories in the form of Star One’s Geet Hui Sabse Parayi and the ongoing Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon aired on Star Plus, Four Lions is now planning to bring a bi-weekly thriller for Star. 

It was reported earlier too that the production house is keen on making a show based on thriller and they are currently on the hunt for the perfect faces. The show is said to have the right mix of action, thriller and romance.

Now the latest update that we have got for you states that Shaleen Malhotra and Sana Khan have been signed in to play the male and female lead, respectively. Shaleen has his fame via his stint in MTV Roadies whereas Sana won hearts playing the charming Lavanya in IPKKND. Though both the actors refused to give any confirmation regarding the same but we have heard from sources that the show has shot the pilot. More likely, it will hit the production floor by June 2012. 

Shaleen is supposed to play a cop in the show and earlier this role was offered to Pracheen Chauhan, currently seen in Zee TV’s Choti Bahu. But Shaleen has surpassed Pracheen by bagging the meaty role.

Let’s hope that Four Lions will indeed rock with this thriller!

Karan Singh Grover might not get to make his Bollywood debut
TV hunk Karan Singh Grover who is well known for his role as Dr. Armaan from Star One’s Dill Mill Gayye, indeed has a huge fan following.

He has proved his mettle as an actor, dancer and a host too. Recently, KSG got married for the second time to DMG co-star Jennifer Winget aka Dr. Riddhima. It is notable that post bagging success from DMG, Karan has been trying hard to make it big in Bollywood too.

The actor opted out of the show in 2009 when he got to play an important role in Vikram Bhatt’s Mr. Romeo. Sadly, the film got scrapped and he had to return back to the show. His absence from the show had already done the damage and his return too couldn’t mend it. As the show met the end roads, Karan shot for a film called Lorrie which is based on Wica Ipsita Roy Chakravorty's The Loving Doll, opposite Diana Hayden.     

Diana is said to be playing an actress in the film while Karan essays her husband. The film was shot in Bangkok but if believe the latest buzz then it might not get released as it has failed to get the buyers. 

Though a few say that the film will hit the screens by the year end but more likely facts indicate towards it also getting scrapped thus ending Karan’s Bollywood journey!

Does this make him return to TV again?

Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa creates a riff between Colors and Star Plus
Colors’ dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa - Dancing with the stars is gearing up for the mega treat it is going to showcase for its fans.

As promised, the makers are trying their best to incorporate a star studded line up. But if go by the recent developments then executing the plans won’t be a cakewalk for Colors! As known, for the season five, Jhalak has approached big names of TV world like Karan Tacker aka Viren from Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, Giaa Manek aka Gopi from Saath Nibhana Saathiya and Hina Khan aka Akshara from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai.

Now the catch is that all these shows are aired on Star Plus and interestingly they are the major TRP gainers too. Missing of any of these leads from their respective daily is sure to hamper the shows’ numbers and Star Plus is not just ready for this. Buzz states that both Star and Colors are heading towards a silent war.

Star has warned the actors to make their move smartly as while choosing for one they might have to lose out on the other. It has been heard that Hina, who had earlier given her confirmation to Jhalak, has withdrawn her name owing to the pressure from Star Plus.        

Negotiations are still on with Giaa and there are speculations that she might get replaced if she signs Jhalak. Talking about the same, Giaa told the sources, "I'm not bound to any Channel. I'm with a production house and it’s our mutual decision to either say yes or no to the show."

Stay tuned to know what happens next!

Parineeti Chopra is bonding well with Jacky Bhagnani!
Bollywood is not just good for films that it gives to the box office, but also for the latest news and updates revealing the life and happening of B’wood actors.

We have always loved to hear about the news and gossips from the B-town and here is one more which has everything to do with the newbie Ishaqzaade actress Parineeti Chopra.

We have always been wondering that why weren’t Parineeti and Arjun Kapoor seen together during the promotion of their film Ishaqzaade. It was being thought that the crew was being considerate to Arjun as he has recently lost his mom. But to our surprise we have got to know that the main reason behind this was Parineeti Chopra.

The actress who met Jacky Bhagnani few months back in March has been bonding well with him and spares time to spend with Jacky. Well, this comes as a bolt out of the blue as Parineeti has always tried to keep her friendship with Jacky under wraps. The people close to the couple say that they are just in the friendship phase.

So there is a lot they need to know about each other before getting into a romantic relationship. Let’s see how long does it take for them to become lovers.

Aamir Ali denies doing Sony TV's next!

TV actor Aamir Ali is dealing with the rumors that talk of his presence in Adhikari Brothers’ new show on Sony TV, which as heard is going to be a love story.

In the recent past it was updated that the show will see Star Plus’ Maryada fame Raqesh Vashisth and Kahin To Hoga girl Aamna Sharif. Just a day back, it was even brought into the news that Deepshikha Nagpal will also make her return in the fiction world with this show.

And now everyone is talking about the handsome Aamir Ali playing one of the leads in this daily. It is notable that Aamir, who is currently doing SAB TV’s FIR, has shows like Kya Dill Mein Hai and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii to boast of. Other than acting, he even won Nach Baliye 3 with real life partner Sanjeeda Sheikh.

So it never came as a surprise to all when Aamir’s name was called for the show. However, the actor has denied all rumors and has set it straight that he hasn’t been offered any such role. Furthermore, Aamir even said that currently his focus is completely on FIR and there are no other projects beyond that.
