Tanisha Mukherjee does an item number

From playing the female lead in Neil And Nikki to doing cameos in Sarkar and Sarkar Raj, now Tanisha Mukherjee is resorting to item numbers. By the looks of it, Kajol’s little sister’s career graph is taking the downward slope. We recently caught with Tanisha on the sets of Milo To Sahi where she was shooting for an item song with Suniel Shetty and Vidya Malavade. According to her, if Shah Rukh Khan can do it, then so can she. She says, “I think item songs are a trend now. Moreover, if my friend wants me to do an item number for his film, then why not?”

Performing on a sizzling salsa number, Tanisha looked quite at ease. However, who looked slightly off-key was Suniel. He said, “There is too much pressure. There is tension as there are so many cameras around and I have to dance in front of them. Dancing is not my asset. I am just managing somehow. The girls are good dancers. So I think it will get balanced.”

In the film Vidya plays Suniel’s wife. Talking about the item number, Anna says, “I am in a club with my friends. When one of them challenges me saying I have changed after marriage, I lose my mind and go for the girl.” That’s very unlike the Suniel in real life. He says, “In this industry, there is a very thin line. The girls are gorgeous. But, you need to remember that you are married and have a daughter. It’s just not worth crossing the line.”

Isha Koppikar into the depth of her character

Things at Bollywood have not been just too encouraging for the ‘Khallas’ girl Isha Koppikar, but that doesn’t stop the girl from working hard enough to get to her goals.

So, involved and determined is Isha to get the realistic touch for her upcoming RGV’s ‘Shabri’ that she is leaving no stones unturned in getting into the skin of the character.

To look like a slum girl, Isha didn’t wax her body, didn’t pluck eyebrows, didn’t use any beauty products and, in fact, did not even comb her hair. But this is not all. During one shoot in a slum area of Mumbai, while the evening snacks were served, Isha, unmindfully, instead of going to her make-up van to eat, sat near a dustbin to eat like a street beggars. It was only when her make-up boy came and said ‘Didi, aap yaahan kyun baithi hain? Make up van mein chaliye,’ that she realized where she was sitting.

‘I was so engrossed in my character that I didn’t even realize what I was doing. If my make-up boy hadn’t made me realize that I was sitting beside a dustbin I would have had my snacks there,’ says Isha.

Isha has changed her walking style and has lost weight too. What we wonder is how long will she take to get to normal life once she is out of the character?

Shilpa's effigies burnt

Only few days passed and Bigg Boss has started hitting the headlines. First it was the traumatic adieu of British candidate Jade Goody and secondly allegations on the host Shilpa Shetty by Rakhi Sawant. Shilpa was stunned when Rakhi accused her of changing candidates. She was deeply hurt when her effigies were burnt in front of the Bigg Boss house on the basis of selection and rejection of candidates. A guy Ramdas Atahavle claimed that being a dalit, he was dropped by Shilpa

On hearing the false allegations, the actress doesn't know how to react. "It's the channel's prerogative to select or reject a candidate. Until two days prior to the show I didn't even know who was going. The format doesn't allow the host to know the contestants. Mr Athavle claims he was dropped on discriminatory grounds because he was a Dalit and Sanjay Nirupam was taken instead."

When questioned about Rakhi's allegation, Shilpa says she's appalled. "I don't even want to talk about her. But I was very hurt. I really like Rakhi. Why was she talking this way about me without knowing the facts? How does she know the facts about how contestants were chosen? I don't think it's right for anyone to shoot off her mouth in this way. You may have an outspoken image that you're always eager to uphold. But please don't flaunt that image at my cost."

Adhyayan Suman in love with Kangana Ranaut

Only one film old and Adhyayan Suman started hitting the headlines for his love life. He fell deeply in love with Gangster actress Kangana Ranaut. Shekhar Suman’s son feels no hesitation in declaring his love to the world. He said, "Yes, I am seeing Kangana. I am in a serious relationship with her. It's not that we got close in South Africa; we were dating since quite some time but I didn’t want to talk about it so quickly. It’s time that I put an end to all speculations."

They fell for each other while shooting for Mohit Suri’s Raaz – The Mystery Continues. Prior to Adhyayan, Kangana had been in a relationship with veteran actor Aditya Panscholi and Tamil actor Jeyam Ravi. But neither of her relationship lasted long. Adhyayan was smitten by Kangana’s acting capability, style and attitude. He has seen all her films except Shakalaka Boom Boom and feels she is superb in Gangster.

Kangana had also the same feeling for Adhyayan. She too is very serious about her relationship. On speaking about Kangana’s feeling, Adhyanan replies confidently, "Of course, Kangana loves me as much as I love her! She is the best girl I know. She is also a very talented actress."

Kangana's breast show cut-off in Fashion

Sexy Kangana Ranaut is known to portrayal hot scenes in films. She has shown her sexy avatar in films like Gangster and Woh Lamhe and is again set to explore her femininity in Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion which is based on the real life story of models and "wardrobe malfunction". Kangana has shot a breast popping scene for Fashion but to avoid any sort of controversy, the director had cut that bold scene.

The scene had already been shot and it was a 90 minutes show based on real life wardrobe malfunction that took place two years ago. Madhur knows quite well that the scene would not get clearance from the censor board and so he feels that it would be wise to cut the scene before sending for censor clearance.

When contacted, Bhandarkar said, "Editing is a very private matter. I don’t want to talk about this." Fashion also stars Priyanka Chopra in a pivotal role. After Fashion, Kangana would get involve in Rakesh Roshan’s Kites opposite Hrithik.

Why Shilpa Shetty is so angry with Rakhi Sawant?

This week has been really tough on Shilpa.

First Jade Goodie's traumatic adieu. Then a member of her own film fraternity Rakhi Sawant was heard telling tv channels that a contestant on Big Boss must have been changed because of Shilpa.

When questioned about Rakhi's allegation Shilpa says she's appalled. "I don't even want to talk about her. But I was very hurt. I really like Rakhi. Why was she talking this way about me without knowing the facts?

How does she know the facts about how contestants were chosen? I don't think it's right for anyone to shoot off her mouth in this way.

You may have an outspoken image that you're always eager to uphold. But please don't flaunt that image at my cost."

Shilpa was also appalled by her effigies being burnt. Apparently a guy Ramdas Atahavle was approached to go into the house. He claims he was dropped because of Shilpa's manoeuvres.

The actress doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at this. "It's the channel's prerogative to select or reject a candidate. Until two days prior to the show I didn't even know who was going.

The format doesn't allow the host to know the contestants. Mr Athavle claims he was dropped on discriminatory grounds because he was a Dalit and Sanjay Nirupam was taken instead."

Shilpa is outraged. "Why was I being blamed if a candidate didn't make it into Big Boss? Why were they throwing stones at the channel Colors' office and burning my effigy?

They even held a dharna in Lonavla in front of the Big Boss house. Why me? Every time I'm associated with something people try to use my name for their own purposes. Please leave me alone."

Taking a deep breath Shilpa laughs. "I think I should take all this attention as a compliment. But somewhere it does take its toll on my mental equilibrium. We all need to be more responsible about our duties as a citizen.

My phone went ballistic on Tuesday. I'm in the midst of a dozen things and then to be badgered like this! I'm human and I don't like my name being constantly used. Don't hit where it hurts the most. I think they should start auctioning my effigies."

Laughs Shilpa, "But really, Rakhi Sawant takes the cake. What authority does she have to make such charges against me?

I'd have Rakhi know that it's the channel's prerogative to decide the participants. I'm hired by the channel to do a job. My jurisdiction is to go on stage and host the show."

Shilpa wants police action against the practice of burning effigies. "It's really very sad that known people are subjected to this. It's very degrading?"

Salman Khan feels awkward romancing Katrina Kaif

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan says he feels awkward while doing romantic scenes with his real life girlfriend Katrina Kaif .

“For the first time, in Yuvraaj we have been paired as a romantic lead. However, I feel awkward. Besides, the audience would feel that the real life girlfriend-boyfriend story is being played on the screen,” Salman told reporters on the sets of his new film Veer at Mehboob studios.

“Also, I want the audience to give our pair the respect and dignity it deserves,” he said.

He said both Katrina and he have worked in a few films, but were not romantically paired opposite each other. Maine Pyar Kyon Kiya was a comedy and the two did not have romantic scenes while in Partner Katrina was paired opposite Govinda .

Speaking about ‘Veer’, Salman said he has written the script for the film. “It is a period film about men and honour. It also has comedy,” he said.

To a question on why he opted for Anil Sharma as a director for ‘Veer’, Salman said Katrina suggested Sharma’s name as she had worked with him earlier (in Apne ).

When asked about his role in God Tussi Great Ho releasing today, Salman said it was a comedy where the protagonist is forever complaining to God.

To a question on whether he speaks to God in real life, the actor said he does so in real life too and some times people think he has gone mad.

Dard-e-Bigg Boss for Sherlyn Chopra!

Actress and singer Sherlyn Chopra will no longer join the Housemates in ‘Bigg Boss’ as she has been shown the door. Sherlyn, who was in discussion to be cast on the show, could not close the deal as her two conditions could not be met on time.

Apparently, the newbie asked for a sum of Rs 3 crore for her 3-month appearance in the ‘Bigg Boss’ House. Since, after her first music album ‘Outrageous’, her second album ‘Dard-e-Sherlyn’ has also become a runaway success, she felt that only a decent price could keep her inside the House for a whole three months.

It is also learnt that Sherlyn suggested that the makers install cameras even in bathrooms of the House, so that she could flaunt her vast collection of colourful bikinis and inner wear while bathing. It seems she was keen to generate loads of teenage interest in the show from both sexes.

It can be recalled that the practice of cameras in the bathrooms of such a reality show existed in UK’s ‘Big Brother’ earlier, until Shilpa Shetty got the practice discontinued two years ago, with a clause in her contract stating it went against her ethics and culture. It is obvious, Sherlyn thinks otherwise.

But since ‘Bigg Boss’ found her demands outrageous, she was out. “Right from the beginning of her career, Sherlyn has a very bold, outspoken, daring and sensational diva-like image. One can’t really blame her for thinking of her colourful bikinis,” quipped her publicist.

“Nowadays, everyone from Kareena Kapoor to Priyanka Chopra is being talked about for wearing bikinis in their movies. So why should we have double standards for reality shows? After all, they are just another medium of expression,” added the spokesman.

Sherlyn is a typical bindaas new-age babe. Everyone knows that if she would have been on the show, the TRP’s would have sky-rocketed simply with her boldness and flamboyance. It’s hardly ‘her’ loss.

It's Sherlyn versus Rakhi Now

There was a recent buzz that Sherlyn Chopra will be part of Big Boss 2 but the babe has denied her participation, putting rest to all the speculations about her being part of the reality show.

However, Sherlyn was approached to do the show by the sponsors. Perhaps they wanted someone to match up with the high sexy rate factor and spice which Rakhi Sawant had provided in the first season of the show. There is no denial to the fact that Rakhi Sawant benefited to a great extent from the show.

When mentioned the show proved good for Rakhi Sawant and increased her popularity, Sherlyn laughed and said, is that what you call success!

On her comparison with item girl Rakhi Sawant, Sherlyn said, how can people even compare a Mercedes Benz with a Nano?

Sherlyn made extremely strong comments saying that Rakhi can’t speak English like her; and can speak Hindi only. She added that Rakhi can't wear clothes like her.

The extremely bold and super hot actress further said that she is much hotter and has a lot sex appeal as compared to Rakhi and she possess a style and personality of her own. Rakhi is a different sample altogether.

Sheryln has off recent taken Bollywood for a ride with her all time sexy avatar and has gained immense popularity among the mass.

No doubt she is a big threat to Rakhi Sawant. We hope Rakhi is not listening.

Let the battle of the sexiest and the boldest begin.

When Katrina showed Salman her Dum

It was the most awaited moment on 10 ka Dum. Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan face to face on the same stage.

That Salman was a picture of happiness goes without saying. But Katrina seemed to be holding her cards close to her heart.

But the comfort level they share was there for all to see. Katrina said she would give the money she wins to Salman's charity but he magnanimously said "No you give it to your mum's charity - Hope Reach."

Together they insisted on giving it to each other's charity. But she was really peeved when she didn't get even one answer right. "I am going to cry!" she said. "Please don't, " pleaded her guest.

"I am not concerned about you, but if your make-up is ruined the shoot will be further delayed." Promptly Salman rose to her defence and said, "She doesn't use much make-up. She looks just as beautiful without make up. She is a beautiful girl"

Now Deepika gets Ranbir's name tattooed

It seems like love in Bollywood can be expressed only by embedding tattoo on one’s body.

First it was the hunks of Bollywood doing it, now it’s the ladies turn. After Saif doing it for bebo and Usman for Amrita Arora, it was Deepika Padukone’s turn to do the needful (and painful too) in the name of her beau Ranbir Kapoor.

We recently noticed a tattoo embedded on Deepika Padukone’s nape. The tattoo says R K (but obviously Ranbir Kapoor). Since it is hidden behind her hair, not many have caught sight of it yet.

We just hope Ranbir Kapoor doesn’t have a “D.P” embedded somewhere or the other.

Anyways, great going guys, and pass the piece of (inspiration) to every one else in love too.

Talking about their next release, Ranbir-Deepika-Bipasha-Minissha starrer 'Bachna Ae Haseenon' is definitely looking one of the 'coolest' release of this month with tremendous buzz in and outside the industry.

Can Yashraj films who are currently reeling under a series of flops, heave a sigh of relief with this one ?.

Noted astro numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi predicts –

" The title of the film adds up to Number 59 which is no doubt a symbol of tremendous power, control, status and success. But given a choice, an extra 'a' in it's title i.e. BACHNAA AE HASEENON would have made a 'world of difference'.

Bhavikk continues " As the title and the cast suggests, the film is primarily a romantic love story and by bringing the title to add up to Number 60, the name then would have vibrated on Number 6 of Venus – the planet of love, peace, joy, happiness, harmony etc.

But, the film's release date 15th ( 1 + 5 = 6 ) August 2008 and the compound number also adding up to Number 6 ( 1 + 5 + 8 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 8 = 24 = 2 + 4 = 6 ) should take care of it's 'safe sailing'. Finally, Yashraj can boast of a 'hit' film !

Mallika Ko Gussa Kyun Aata Hai

Mallika Sherawat once had a showdown with Rangita Nandy, the producer of her film, Ugly Aur Pagli on its sets when it was being shot.

Unit sources reveal that, once while they were shooting in a Mumbai film studio, Rangita went upto Mallika on her arrival and told her to hurry up a bit for the day as the studio would not be available for them beyond some two three hours more as there was some technical maintainence going to take place.

Co-operating with her producer, Mallika decided to hurry up things and so also were her co-stars and other technicians present on the sets.

But as Mallika realised it would be impossible to complete all her scenes for the day at that particular studio, she decided to take the matter in her hand and try help her harried producer out.

Mallika then directly went in to the studio authorities to request them to extend the deadline time as it was being problematic for the unit.

But she was in for a rude shock when they flatly refused and told her that they would have loved to be but they won't as she has been misrepresented by her producer.

They revealed to her that they had given the film production team a sort of an ultimatum to wrap up early in two three hours as the production team had not made payments for the last two days they had shot in their studio.

Enraged by the false talk done by Rangita, Mallika went directly to her and lambasted her in front of everyone for painting a wrong picture.

All was finally settled down only after Rangita said sorry to Mallika over this matter. As for the shooting, they all had no option but to wrap it all up as soon as possible!

Kareena is definitely the most wanted girl

Sensuous-sexy-sultry Kareena Kapoor and her stardom are beyond limits.

After the super success of Jab We Met and her super-glam look in Tashan, Kareena has become hot property for both Bollywood and Hollywood.

There was a buzz couple of days back about Kareena signing a Hollywood project but Kareena’s spokesperson denied stories about her doing a Hollywood film.

Apparently, during the shoot of Kambakht Ishq, Kareena was in talks with Hollywood production houses.

“It is true that Kareena was offered a role in Chamera which is to be directed by Daniel Silverman but she has not signed on the dotted lines, ” said her spokesperson.

So is Kareena doing any Hollywood film at all? “Kareena is busy for the next one and a half year with her commitments in Bollywood.

Until then she isn’t doing any international film. Besides Chamera, Kareena was also offered two other Hollywood films which I cannot divulge much into.”

Kareena is definitely the most wanted actress currently. Surely, her lucky streak is on. Way to go Kareena!

Why are you avoiding Salman, Katrina?

Ask anyone about the hottest Bollywod property nowadays and they will answer you without taking time that it’s Katrina Kaif.

For last few months or so, she has been replacing actresses in films and now she has started replacing them even in the field of advertisements and brand representatives, too.

It’s very known but a great achievement for Katrina that she replaced Ash with the brand of Nakshatra, the diamond king, for the position of their Brand Ambassador.

Katrina seems very happy on the occasion as she says, “I am very happy that I am chosen as Nakshatra’s Brand Ambassador. I think it showcases my personality very well as I really like to adorn myself up.”

“Now I won’t have to look for jewelries before going to any function. Before that I used to ask for jewelries from my friends and now I don’t have to do any such thing, ” smiling asserts the beauty icon.

But how does she feel about replacing Aishwarya? Katrina says, “See, making me the Brand Ambassador is completely Nakshtra’s decision and I cannot help it in anyways.”

Katrina’s reply is enough to show that she has no wish to get entangled with any kind of controversy with Aishwarya. But she has replaced many actresses from their films, also.

“It’s nothing like that. Like others I am also different in my own ways. We all are bestowed with one or the other individuality. Actually, we all are almost the same, if not similar, ” explains Kat.

She further adds, “I am really happy with the films I am having these days. So, I don’t have to look at other’s projects.”

But is it true that like films, actresses have started fighting for advertisements, too! Katrina again plays it safe as she says, “Not at all. There is nothing like that.

The deserving candidate will always be called in for the right kind of project. As far as the fighting among us is concerned, it’s only you media persons who are only most interested in.”

Despite the film Singh Is Kinng not receiving better response from the audience, Katrina is still excited about the film. She believes that like her other flicks, this film will also get better response with time.

Talking about her co-star, Kat says, “Akshay is proved to be a great co-star with me. I am really affected with his understanding the audience and the entertainment.

There were several times during the shoot when I was left spellbound with his spontaneity and briskness.”

When Kat is there, sooner or later, questions about Salman are very obvious. Why are you avoiding to pose with Salman in films?

“I have never decided to stop working with Salman and nor have I counted the number of films I have worked in with any star. If the story fits well then I won’t mind acting with him also. But talking about the exact time is impossible, ” safe plays Katrina.

Listening to Katrina one must have understood how intelligently she faces the media. And it’s not only that as she has learnt well to face media’s questions regarding Salman even without the presence of Salman.

And when, at the end, Katrina is asked about her reactions towards her being alleged by Malaika, she stood up and joining her hands says, “Dhanyavaad”!

Salman Khan Cannot Tolerate The Katrina-Akshay Pair Anymore

Akshay Kumar is giving Salman sleepless nights after having delivered the third consecutive hit Singh is Kinng with Katrina. Salman is not known to be fond of Akshay the erstwhile Casanova of the industry and can’t bear Katrina being paired with Akshay repeatedly.

Singh Is Kinng has stormed the box office in its opening week. Adding to this Namastey London and Welcome last year the pair is being put in the same league as Dharmendra-Hema Malini, Amitabh-Rekha and Shahrukh-Kajol. Industry experts believe they are now the most happening pair in Bollywood since Shahrukh Khan and Kajol.

Producers Vipul Shah has even thought of casting the two in his upcoming 2009 release. The only problem Katrina faces is her beau Salman Khan is not happy with all this. His career graph is going south which is creating friction between the two. It is highly unlikely that Katrina will reject projects with Akshay but that might just prove to be costly for her personal life. It will be interesting to see whether Katrina chooses career over Salman.

Bigg Boss 2 will be bigger and meaner: Shilpa Shetty

SHILPA SHETTY tells JYOTHI VENKATESH that she will be able to empathize with all the 14 housemates of Bigg Boss Season 2.

Why did you say yes to the offer to be the host for Bigg Boss Season 2?
I said yes to the offer because it will be something new as far as I am concerned since I have never hosted any TV show earlier in my career though I had taken part in the reality dance show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa on Sony TV as one of the judges. I have always liked to explore newer avenues in life and add to my dimensions as a human being

To what extent you will be able to gel with the show?
I think I will take to the show like a fish to water for the simple reason that I am very familiar with the format of the show since I have been a part of the show Big brother earlier. I am confident that unlike Arshad Warsi who was the host the last time around of the show, I would be able to empathize more with the house mates since I have gone through the entire procedure as a housemate in Big Brother and I would be the only ‘outside’ human connection with them

How do you feel as the host of the show?
I have been through what all the 14 hand picked contestants will go through and therefore I am able to understand their needs and feelings. I remember what it was to live with strangers in a house cut off from the outside world with nobody to trust and vouch for. However I am sure about one thing. It will surely change the lives of the participants and give them memories to last a life time to emerge as stronger individuals.

How tough do you think is your task going to be as a hostess?
I van vouchsafe that it is not going to be a very easy task since you have got to deal with raw human emotions when you deal with the housemates in the show. I hope I will be able to garner better TRP ratings for the show Big Boss Season 2 by being able to strike the chords of not only the audience but also the housemates who are going to take part in the show.

How have you decided to conduct your task?
As I said earlier, I have been though the entire experience abroad in Big Brother and hence it will be easier for me to relate to the housemates of Bigg Boss Season 2 this time around. I will make it entertaining besides adding a human touch to my task as the host.

Besides Sambhavana Seth, Shakti Kapoor, Sherlyn Chopra and Jhanvi Kapoor, who do you think are the other housemates in the show this time?
To tell you the truth, I have no idea about who the housemates in the show are going to be in this season of the show. I guess the channel Colors does not want to divulge the names to the audience because in that case, the suspense cannot be built up and it wants to spring a surprise on not only the audience but also the housemates every week when a new housemate enters the show

Why do you think people take the risk of going to Bigg Boss Season 2?
People go for two reasons. Reason No 1 is that they have nothing to hide from the world and the reason No 2 is that they want to be more famous than what they are and also make more money.

Do you remember your tryst at the Big Brother?
I still remember how eagerly all of us housemates used to wait to hear Debina’s voice every week when she used to come to connect with us from the outside world. I remember her voice used to be very warm and friendly. It is an important role to play in the show as the hostess.

In what way is Bigg Boss Season 2 going to be different from Big Brother UK?
This year unlike the first season, the show which will premiere on August 17 on Colors will be on air every day of the week from Monday to Sunday at 10 pm. It will be a bigger, better, meaner and gruesome real time drama.

Is it true that there is going to be a half an hour LIVE, unedited slot every day?
Yes. Starting from the second week, every day at 12.30 am, there is going to be a half an hour LIVE unedited slot at midnight, though in keeping with the Indian sensibility, the show will be censored by the channel so that nothing objectionable is shown to the audience.

Is it true that celebrities will be replaced by newsmakers in this season?
Yes. Bigg Boss Season 2, the Indian version of Big Brother UK comes with its unique twists this year that make it bigger and better with newsmakers replacing the celebrities in the show.

If there is an opportunity, would you be game to enter the Big Brother UK for a second time, as a housemate?
No. I would not go to Big Brother UK for the second time because one time is more than enough to last me a LIFE TIME. When I went there for the first time, I did not know that it would be so difficult, because unlike in Bigg Boss Season 1, there was culture clash right from Day One and I found it difficult to cope with that initially. It is only after the first three days that it starts sinking in you that you are in an entirely different world where you have to fend for yourself.

Were you confident that you would be a winner in Big brother when you entered it?
Though frankly I did not think that I would last for even two weeks there, I lasted in Big Brother UK, because I went there with the mind- sight not to fear.

What did your stint at Big Brother UK teach you?
It taught me the highs and lows of life around. It is only when you spend time in a place like Big Brother that you will really come to know how a person really is, without the mask which conceals his or her face.

Would you advise your younger sister Shamita to go as a housemate in Bigg Boss season 2?
Forget about going to Bigg Boss Season 2, my sister Shamita will not even listen to any advice of mine, because she is a highly individualistic girl with her own mind

What is your advice to the housemates?
All that I can advise every housemate is to be true to him or herself, because who the audience find as endearing will not be decided if you are fake. People will be interested in seeing the other aside of you as a celebrity or a newsmaker and hence please do not do things only for the sake of entertainment. The housemates who are otherwise so dependent on external factors will start learning new things every day during their tenure at Bigg Boss Season 2.
