Why Arjun Rampal hates models so much

Model turned actor Arjun Rampal who would now be seen judging the contestants of a dance reality show Nach Baliye 4 doesn’t want to be the part of any reality show which is based on modeling, “You may not be aware of, but I am very bad at judging any show which is related to modeling.

I still couldn’t understand why the people related to this industry gives me so much respect. I feel modeling world is a beautiful world but at the same time it’s a fake world.

Please don’t think that I am insulting the modeling profession but what I said is a truth. I just remained attached with this industry for 3 years after which I took a retirement.

The actor believes that the modeling industry no longer has any creativity in it, “When I was a part of it I have to see a lot of creativity in it but now things has changed a lot.

That’s why I don’t want to judge any of the modeling related show as it doesn’t attract me any more. I just like those people and things which are real. I hate unreal people and things.”

Well, Arjun looking at the way you have shaken your legs in your previous movies, even we too don’t see any creativity in your dancing. We would have to wait and judge your new role as a judge of a dance based reality show.

Shah Rukh Khan's 'big' patch up!

SRK reportedly extended the olive branch and patched up with the Bachchans at the premiere of 'Drona' recently.

The buzz is that nobody expected to see SRK there and that too with his entire family- wife Gauri and kids in tow! He warmed up to Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan and even Aishwarya Rai Bachchan!

Now everybody knows how things between SRK and Ash turned bitter six years ago when he replaced her with Rani Mukerji in his movie 'Chalte Chlate' after her then boyfriend Salman Khan( with whom she was breaking up) created a ruckus on the sets?

The buzz is that during those days SRK and wife Gauri were also pleading Salman's case with Ash and her parents after she lost all interest in him!

Shah Rukh and Ash didn't work together or publicly acknowledge each other thereafter!

And now here King Khan was at the premiere hugging Big B, laughing and talking with Abhishek and Aishwarya and posing for photographs. He also didn't forget to tell people that the war between him and the Bachchans is only media created.

Looks like SRK's is in the serious need of friends after his recent big fight with Salman Khan. The Bollywood bad boy started shunning him completely after that, almost creating a divide in the industry.

Moreover his 'King' status has been challenged big time with the rise of the box office king, with a new name King Kumar being coined for him (we mean Akshay Kumar).

The Bachchans who have their own insecurities (which now also includes their over ambitious 'Drona' biting the dust) must have been happy to oblige.

Wonder what happens to the new found Abhishek - Salman yaari ( or it also another illusion) now? Even if it goes for a toss, who cares? Friendships and enmities in B-town are fragile and inconsistent and it's been so for years, after all!

Salman's not over Sneha Ullal yet!

Salman Khan is known for being tremendously devoted to his pals. People whom he considers his friends always end up getting big benefits.

A few years ago Salman Khan launched the teenaged Sneha Ullal who has an uncanny resemblance to his ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai. The movie 'Lucky- No Time Love' had a huge budget and was well shot in great locales abroad. But that wasn't enough to make the girl lucky in B-Town.

She also appeared in a film with Salman's not so happening brother Sohail- 'Aryan' but that too not surprisingly sank without a trace.

She's undoubtedly a good looking dame ( after all she resembles the best in the world!) but she's not really a good actress. Looks like that has gone against her!

Some of her movies like 'Kaashh... Mere Hote', 'Click' and 'Gandhi Park' have been stuck for long. Maybe that's why she's busy doing South cinema these days.

Looks like Salman wants to still do things to help her. The music of the music director turned producer Sharavan's 'Kaashh... Mere Hote' was launched by Salman on the sets of Yuvraj recently.

Though Sneha was busy shooting down South and couldn't be present, Sallu made it a point to wish her all the best.

Wonder if his wishes would be enough to salvage a long stuck film produced by a non-happening Shravan and starring the out of work Johhny Lever, his struggling protege and unexciting newcomers like Kumar Sahil and Sana!

What's common between Lara and Keira Knightley

It's sure going to be interesting to see our sensuous star Lara Dutta on screen in her upcoming film Blue.

After all Lara was given the Hollywood touch by the same make-up artist who was behind Keira Knightley's look in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Lara says, "The film required a make up artist who could handle make up for under water sequences as well as special effects for the action sequences and give the character an glamorous beach babe look, that was also very natural looking.

Nikoletta Skarlatos, who has worked on Transformers as well as Pirates of the Caribbean came very highly recommended by the International action team. She and Clarabelle Saldhana have put the whole look together for make-up and hair.

They have done an amazing job and I am extremely thrilled with the results". Is it possible for the ex-Miss Universe to look even more radiant than she does already? We'll just have to wait and watch to find out.

Zoya said, Farhan and I should've Kissed

As we talk Arjun gets a call from Suraj, the lead singer of the band Dream Out Loud who tells Arjun, 'So many musicians can connect with the musicians' characters in Rock On.You give then back hope.'

"What more could I've hoped for?" says Arjun in amazement.

Bollywood's first trueblue rock star is born. And Arjun Rampal who has been praised by everyone from Shekhar Kapoor to David Dhawan, isn't in the mood to let go of the guitar and all that it represents.

"What I've really taken home from Rock On is some great friendships. It was such an experience to work with really new talent …everyone in the film was either fresh talent or new to me. And they turned out to be people who'll stay friends with me for keeps."

Arjun feels Rock On worked because of the camaraderie. "What you see is not faked. All of us, from the director Abhishek Kapoor to Farhan, Luke Kenny, Purab Kohli and me, we spent a lot of time together.

We read the script together, spoke about each other's characters and just hung out. So by the time we faced the camera we looked like really good friends who has known one another for decades."

Arjun learnt to play the guitar from scratch. "I always wanted to learn to play the guitar.It's a wonderful hobby to have.

The guitar becomes a great companion when you're traveling. And now I'm hooked. I play the guitar and entertain family friends and guests with songs. Learning it was tough.

But I had a great teacher called Chandresh from a band called Dream Out Loud recommended by Farhan. Chandresh came for three hours every day for three months"

Arjun Rampal 's turn as the pain-lashed down-and-out rocker Joe Mascarenhas has brought him immense praise. "Just feeling for the character was a tremendous high. The long hair and my look was decided in ten minutes.

I was the only character who wasn't going to cut his hair.I already had long hair. I added some extensions to it.Nobody's hair can grow that long in such a short time."

And now Arjun is the first bonafide rock star of Hindi cinema. "I do intend to keep my interest in guitar going, though I don't expect I'd be able to join any band. I learn one song every week. And I play to my daughters all the time.

But I'm not good enough to join a band.Being a professional guitarist is really difficult.But I'd love continue playing the guitar as an amateur. If there's a Rock On 2 I can play on screen again."

Says Arjun, "Om Shanti Om did wonderfully for me. I was never scared it'd slot me as a villain. Just as I'm sure Rock On!! won't slot me as a rock star. I want to grow as an actor, try to do roles that allow me to grow."

He still remembers when Farhan told him about his role in Rock In. "I was in Jodhpur when Farhan told me about it. And I was like, wow! It was the story of these two friends, me and Farhan. So we had to look really really close.

When Farhan's sister Zoya was watching the rushes she turned and said, 'What are the two of you doing in the film? It looks like you'll kiss any moment.'I told her not to worry. Every emotion and component is genuine.

I actually played the correct chords when we played in stage. No guitarist can catch me out. Even Purab Kohli learnt to play the drums. We had to get it absolutely right.

Everyone thought Rock On was going to be just a multiplex film. It's gone way beyond. People are getting in touch with their olds friends because of Rock On. That's truly gratifying.

Even the small-towners are reacting to it.Just proves, if you make a film from your heart it connects. All I can say is, wow. This is my biggest success so far."

He's got a butler waiting on him, the best food to eat, a grand car to go out in, loads of super rich guy friends. He is extremely popular with the ladies, he's a big flirt!

He is very savvy and smart. A guy with loads of intelligence and he knows how to get what he wants. A smooth talker, a smooth dancer, Romeo's a smart alec, a wise guy. When fate lands him in a slum, after his initial disappointment, he smooth talks his way out of trouble.

He finds himself to be more intelligent than the average street guy and he takes full advantage of this fact to turn things around to his benefit. He thinks nothing of lying just to get what he wants. All said and done, Romeo's heart is still in the right place. He's a great guy. He's a dude!

Kareena Kapoor as Laila
Laila's the hottest girl ever and she knows it! She is the lead singer and dancer at the Moonlight Nightclub. This is where all the males throng every week when she performs. There isn't a male guy alive in the slum who doesn't dream of dancing with the beautiful, Laila some day.

Jaaved Jaaferi as Charlie Anna
Charlie Anna is the dreaded Don of the slum. Anna means big brother and that's what everyone calls him out of fear. He is the cause of fear in everyone's heart. He's dirty, fat and ugly, with a big bouncy belly.

Charlie Anna is a pompous old fool who loves nothing more than hearing his praises. His moods are unpredictable and that is what makes him dangerous, yet at heart he is a hopeless romantic, a softie with a tough exterior.
