Celina Jaitley is lucky not only in having a pretty face and an enviable figure but also when it comes to having a hair-breath escape from death. It so happened that while shooting for her South film ‘Sreemati’ opposite superstar Upendra, she faced an accident which could turn out to be fatal had it not been for her luck.
While shooting, the camera buggy was supposed to go past her while she was standing near an outcrop, but unfortunately it swung out of control, toppling Celina who just managed to grab a buggy rung. She lost her grip on that too but the camera assistant Ram Gopal Mishra grabbed her and that saved her.
Celina shudders at the memories and says, “I escaped severe injuries by falling into shallow rocky seas from a great height.
The incident makes the sex kitten a bit philosophical as she says that those who have the blessings and goodwill of others have nothing to worry about.

Salman Khan’s generous gift to Kareena Kapoor


Such is Kareena Kapoor’s charisma that actor Salman Khan was all to happy to part away with two and a half lakhs to gift her a branded bag. Yes, Salman and Kareena who are working together in Prem Soni’s directorial debut ‘Main Aurr Mrs Khanna’ were in Australia for the shoot of the film.
In the evenings after the work schedule, Kareena used to step out for shopping. That particular day, Salman had accompanied her and when Bebo fell for a Dolce and Gabbana handbag and was about to pay the storekeeper, she was surprised to know that it had already been paid for. Later, it came out that it was Salman who had made this generous gift to her co-star.
The movie, which is scheduled to release on October 16 also stars Sohail Khan, who has co- produced the movie with UTV SpotBoy Pictures.

Shahid Kapoor and the secret of his bums


Shahid Kapoor is so conscious about his perfect physique that he takes extra efforts not only to keep his biceps and abs fit but also to help look his posterior appealing. Now, the secret of Shahid’s perfectly round hips is out. The chocolate boy has apparently been using ‘bum bags’ to help make his hips round.
A bum bag is a fabric pouch that comes with a zipper and is worn around the waist and strapped around the bums. The fact was revealed to a newspaper by a close source who also added that “Shahid has been wearing bum bags ever since his debut film, ‘Ishq Vishq’ in 2003.”
Shahid is very regular in hitting the gym and has worked hard to attain the perfectly chiselled physique but unfortunately has a flat butt and has unable to put on weight on his hips. His lean and boyish structure has always been the source of his worry. So, as soon as he arrives at the sets and once he enters his vanity van, he makes sure that he wears bum bags in every single shot.

Asin makes her place in Bollywood movies


As the movie ‘Ghajini’ was a complete hit some bollywood insiders are reporting that the famous director Ashutosh Gowariker has finally chosen in the newcomer Asin to play the lead role opposite with none other than Abhishek Bachchan in his next hit ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’.
Ashutosh reportedly called Asin at his house office where he expressed his desire to cast her for this period drama. Asin was so delighted that she nodded her head without knowing about the whole thing. She told that she was his fan after seeing his previous films and was hoping to work with him some day.
Everybody is wondering that why isn’t beautiful Aishwarya who was supposed to work in this film at the first place. This has anything to do with motherhood or what some of the bollywood reporters questioned.

Rani Mukherjee turns to smaller screen for refuge


Even a toned down body and her bikini show could not do wonders for Rani Mukherjee’s career which is undoubtedly on a downhill now. So, the gal has turned to the smaller screen as the judge of the reality show, Dance Premier League (DPL).

Its being said that Bollywood baadshah Shah Rukh Khan and actress Kajol have been approached for the NRI zone along with Katrina Kaif.
The production house is also in talks with Preity Zinta and Kareena Kapoor for Central and West zones respectively.
Rani has got this opportunity after Madhuri and Aishwarya backed out. “Madhuri has ditched the channel and production house as she could not find a nanny to look after her kids. There were talks with Katrina Kaif too but things seem to be bit difficult there, thus now they have approached to Rani Mukherjee for the same,” says the source from the production house.

Katrina is back with a new look in Blue


Everyone who’s seen Bollywood Actress Katrina Kaif in the promo of BLUE has been pleasantly surprised by her ‘biker chic’ look.The pretty bollywood actress who always been portrayed as a girl next door, is for the first time sporting a gothic grunge look with a stud pierced below her lip, dreadlocks and tattoos all over her arms. Kat’s look has been designed to complement Zayed’s character in the film – that of a daredevil biker.
Says a source form the production team, ”Kat was extremely excited about her new look as it’s a huge contrast from her earlier roles. She gave a lot of inputs and worked closely with the designers on minute details.”
But one thing that gave nightmares to Kat is her hairdo! The dreadlocks that she sports cause a lot of damage to one’s hair and Kat was very particular about that. ”She’d immediately go for a hair wash once the shoot would be over” commented a bollywood source working close with the team.
Ask Kat about her striking appearance in BLUE and the actress gives all the credit to her designer Rocky S who gave her the confidence to pull off the look so stunningly!
Now, we sure can’t wait to see Katrina in this new, rugged avatar, can we!

“Salman Is Quite Lazy” : Says Katrina Kaif


Not many people have the guts to speak in front of Salman Khan. Only Katrina Kaif dares to make such daring comment against hot-headed Salman Khan.

Salman Khan’s love Katrina Kaif not only thinks that Salman is a lazy guy but she also declared it to the whole world.
In reply to a question, Katrina shared this important insight on her twitter page about Salman, she writes, “No, Salman’s not on twitter. So you think he has the patience to update on a daily basis?? Naah, he’s quite lazy!!

Salman Khan, as usual is famous for his generosity and expensive gifts. This time, however, his generosity had a different expression. It’s not common for Salman to pamper actresses and pay their hefty shopping bills, that too when she is not Katrina Kaif, his girl friend. It was for Bebo, Salman’s good friend and also co-star of his movie Main Aur Mrs Khanna, that the moody Khan loosened his purse strings.
When the unit of ‘Main Aur Mrs Khanna’ was shooting in Melbourne, the shopaholic Kareena used to end her day with shopping. But one fine day when Bebo wrapped up her shopping and went to pay the bill, she was left awestruck as her bill was already paid by Salman. In fact, according to sources, he even helped Kareena in carrying bags.
Not just that, Sallu gifted her a Rs 2.5 lakh worth limited edition handbag which can be seen in the movie, swinging on Bebo’s arm. About the incident, Bebo is quoted as saying, “Salman’s generosity cannot be matched. It was a very sweet gesture on his part. He is a wonderful person at heart.”

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapur, who is essaying a double-role, with speech disorders, in Vishal Bharadwaj’s upcoming film Kaminey is thrilled to play ‘bad’ on screen for the first time.
“Good can get boring after a period of time. I have tried to achieve what director Vishal Bharadwaj has envisaged. It is the best double role that I have come across in recent times,” Shahid, who has spinned success with his typical choclate boy image in earlier films.
The actor’s character ‘Guddu’ stammers while ‘Charlie’ has a lisp.
“We visited ENT specialists and did some research by meeting people who face such disorders in real life. I have tried to realistically represent both the characters. They are not caricatures,” Shahid Kapur said adding “it was comparatively more difficult to play ‘Guddu’.”
“Earlier in films, such characters were meant to do only comedy. But, for the first time, a hero was representing such people on screen and they were very happy about it. It is my most challenging role till date,” he said.
However, he was surprised and disappointed over Kaminey been given a ‘A’ certificate by the Censor Board.
“There is a lot more violence in other films,” he retorted.
On the film’s music, especially the hit number Dhan Te Nan, Shahid said, “the track stands for the attitude of the film.”
The song will also be brought out in a female version, Priyanka, who plays the female lead in the movie, said adding “It will not be part of the film. Vishal will gift it to me.”
The actress is potraying the role of ‘Sweety’, who is fiesty and vivacious like her in real life, she said.
Kaminey is Shahid’s widest release ever with over 1100 prints while his previous Kismet Konnection released with over 900 prints.
The young actor lashed out at the media for speculating about his alleged fight with Vishal Bharadwaj.
“Such stories are not at all funny. Vishal has worked with my father and is a very senior member of the film fraternity. I respect him too much,” Shahid said.

“I’ve taken out some ‘me’ time. I have been so busy with people, things and attaining my goals that I had forgotten about myself. This place has helped me get in touch with myself. You must be intrigued how… well right now am doing a mauna, that is, where I am not allowed to talk to anyone, so practicing that, it’s difficult but enjoying it,” Shilpa Shetty posted on her blog.
“Not allowed to take any calls… could only check my emails,” she added.
The 34-year-old actress, who is a fitness and spirituality freak, says she seeks solace there in the company of her gurus — Amma and Bhagvan. “I follow their advice blindly, and it’s made a huge difference in my life, work and relationships,” she said.
Shilpa Shetty has gone there for a special course to rejuvenate herself after a “hectic six months”.
“This silence is so rare to find in our fast paced lives. It just comforts. There are no luxuries and that makes you value everything that you have. It’s also a cleansing process, which I feel we all need from time to time. The beauty is that the process is a spiritual journey without preaching.
“I would prescribe this place for anyone who needs a break and a different and positive way to living life,” she said.
What do you think her finance Raj Kundra feels about this act. Is it something related to their wedding plans ?

Ranbir gives Katrina a nickname


While shooting for Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’, Ranbir Kapoor gave Katrina Kaif a nickname. In a sequence, the duo was asked to climb a 200 ft high ladder and to everybody’s surprise, Kat climbed it with ease. Usually girls fear to climb such a height but Katrina climbed it so comfortably that she left Ranbir behind.The unit surprised to see Katrina’s daring act and at the very moment, Ranbir gave her a nickname Rambo’s sister ‘Sambo’.'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahini' is a humorous love story. Ranbir plays the character of Prem, a depressed lover and Katrina Kaif plays Jennifer (Jenny).

Though not on the scene for quite a long time, this green eyed actress demands quite a high price. The Bachchan bahurani did burn her hands in Hollywood, with films like Mistress of Spice to her credit, but she has hiked her fees to about 6 crores. If she manages to do a Jodhaa Akbar, then it should be fine. Otherwise 6 crores for an Umraao Jaan or The Last Legion does seem a bit extravagant.

John Abraham says he is married


Bollywood hunk John Abraham, who is famous for his passion for biking, has no desire to settle down soon as the actor believes that he is already married to his bikes.
John Abraham says that he will think about marrying a girl only after he adds four more bikes to his collection.
“I love motorcycles, I am married to them and I have had a honeymoon period with them. I don’t let anyone sit on mybikes or touch them,” the actor said.
It is said that the 36-year-old actor is so protective of his bikes that even his girlfriend of seven years actress Bipasha Basu doesn’t like to sit on them.“Bipasha doesn’t like sitting behind me on bikes as I keep complaining about the bike getting scratched or damaged,” said the actor, who has been chosen the brand ambassador for Yamaha Motor in India.
The actor, who made a whole new statement in Bollywood with his biking acts in action-oriented movie like Dhoom, was in the capital to launch new bike models from Yamaha.
Abraham also recalled his first encounter with a bike.
“I first saw my brother’s bike when I was a 11-year-old kid. I fell in love with it right then, but my brother neverlet me touch his bike,” said the actor.

Khatron Ke Khiladi Akshay Kumar turns 42.


Khiladi Kumar a.k.a. Akshay Kumar has turned 42 today. Today he is uncrowned King of Bollywood. But Akshay says Big B is the only King of Bollywood.
Akshay, who started his career with an action movie, played almost every type of roles. Starting his career in nineties, Akshay is celebrating his 42nd birthday today.
He made his Bollywood debut with “Saugandh” in 1991. But ‘Khiladi’ established him in industry as a star. After success of the movie, he became ‘Khiladi’ No. 1 of the industry.
With a series of Khiladi movies, he became action King. Moreover, he tied nuptial knot with Twinkle Khanna.
To break image of action hero, in 1997, with Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi, Dil To Pagal Hai and Aflatoon, he attempted new genres. Thereafter, Akshay became quintessential comedy King. His performance was praised by critics and audience alike.

I’m dying to work with Aamir says Vidya

The graceful Bollywood Actress Vidya Balan who turned a year older on January 1, has turned a new leaf.
After her abortive attempts to revamp her wardrobe in Heyy Baby and Kismat Connection Vidya has decided to go easy on the glam ramp.
“It’s not as though I’m disowning my efforts to do glamorous roles. I’m proud of Heyy Baby and Kismat Connection. But this year I’m doing films that don’t need me to stretch my personality. I’m very happy doing roles that come naturally to me. That’s what I decided about my career this year.”
Vidya has just given the nod to Nikhil (Chandni Chowk To China) Advani’s next film which would surprise many.
Advani’s Chand Bhai is a raw realistic songless film on juvenile delinquency.
Says Vidya, “It’s nothing like the high-flying glam-wham stuff that one expects from Nikhil after Chandni Chowk. Chand Bhai is a stark very real kind of drama. And I get to co-star with a very talented actor Akshaye Khanna with whom I was in Nikhil’s Salaam-e-Ishq though we had just one passing shot together.”
Vidya gladly admits Chand Bhai doesn’t feature her in the central role.
“The film revolves around the delinquent boy’s character. But I’m very happy to be part of a film that addresses itself an important social issue. This year I think I’m done with searching for various bylanes to my screen identity.
All my forthcoming films have a sharp sense of social purpose, and that definitely includes Vibhu Puri’s Chenab Gandhi which I’m enormously excited about because it’s produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.”
Vidya has been attending costume and reading sessions for Chenab Gandhi and is spellbound by the script. “But I haven’t really interacted that much with my co-star Hurman as yet. With Mr Bachchan who plays the title role, I share a lifelong bonding.
Right from Eklavya we’ve been paired in so many films right up to Chenab Gandhi and now Balki’s Pa. If I did all the films last year that I was offered with Mr Bachchan I wouldn’t be working with anyone else, ” says Vidya, adding she’s excited to work with Abhishek Bachchan for the first time in Pa.
“We’ve never been paired together.It would be interesting to have another interesting co-star to work with, ” says Vidya who went to Panchgani for her birthday this year, with her parents, sister and brother-in-law.
“It’s very rare for all five of us in the family to be together. My birthday falls on a very unforgettable day, the New Year. It’s preceded by Christmas, so we all take time off to be together.
Another advantage of being born on the first day of the year is, no one can claim to forget your birthday, ” she says with loud laughter.
Vidya recently saw Ghajini and was bowled over by Aamir Khan. “I’m dying to work with Aamir. And Shah Rukh of course is my favourite. I said on Sajid Khan’s chat show I want to kill Shah Rukh’s wife. No one took me seriously. There was no enhancement in the security around her. Sad.”

Vidya Balan overcomes her fear of driving

Bollywood Actress Vidya Balan had a phobia of driving until director Vishal Bharadwaj insisted her to learn to drive.
Vidya’s last release Kismat Konnection had her ramming her car into Shahid Kapur ’s in her introductory scene. That might well have been the case with Vidya in real life as well had she sat behind the steering wheel without overcoming her longlasting fear of driving on busy roads.
Vidya took driving lessons from an instructor in Chembur. She reportedly learnt to drive her own two cars — Innova and Mercedes.
It took a good number of days for Vidya to learn the skill but today she is happy to have overcome her fears.

Vidya Balan smooches Arshan Warsi

Bollywood Actress Vidya Balan is back in a de-glam role with Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Ishqiya’. Goingby the trailers, she is playing a simple village belle but has tried some ‘bold’ scenes too. She is featured to be doing steamy scenes with Arshad Warsi and also rumoured to play darker shades. Her ‘desi-giri’ includes swearing in pure Hindi, conning Arshad and Naseeruddin Shah by batting those pretty eye lashes like a true ‘gaon ki gori’ and then even not minding rendering a hot smooch onscreen!
Vidya’s kissing spree continues after the Bollywood Movie ‘Guru’. She had no qualms locking lips with R Madhavan in the film. Recently, she did a very long and intimate scene with Arshad Warsi and kissed him very comfortably in ‘Ishqiya’. The scene in question has a hot kiss, and is very essential to set the tempo. “Why wouldn’t I do that scene when the bound script which was given to me before the film went on the floors? I had no issues doing the kissing scene,” Vidya Balan said.
Though there are stories that Arshad doesn’t get along with costars, it’s certainly not true when it comes to his ‘Ishqiya’ costar Vidya Balan. Arshad Warsi tells us that he fondly calls Vidya Balan Giggles. “There’s a story behind this name. Vidya laughs a lot and can’t control herself. She just goes on laughing like crazy. She doesn’t even need someone to crack a joke. Sometimes she used to start laughing in the middle of the shot and then Naseeruddin Shah and I used to wait till she finished her riot,” revealed Arshad Warsi in an exclusive Bollywood Interview.
