I took a few film tips from Priyanka: Mughda Godse

Stepping into the world of Bollywood from the world of modeling is not something that hasn't happened before. Although there's a vast difference in both the worlds, it's nothing new for super model Mugdha. Even after entering Bollywood from the world of fashion, she's still a part of 'Fashion'. Q-Are you nervous or excited about your first release Fashion? A-Honestly speaking, it's a mixed reaction. There are a lot of things happening inside of me which I am unable to describe. Along with nervousness, there's a feeling of a little fear, happiness and excitement too. Even though I am enjoying myself, I'm a bit restless too. For the first time I will be seen on the big screen, don't know if the viewers are going to like me or not. Until now all the reports are good but the acting has to be appreciated also. Q- You believe that in your case Madhur Bhandarkar was able to unearth a brilliant actress out of a model? A- Absolutely yes, and that's the sign of a great director. He actually dug out all that hidden talent in me which I was completely unaware of. For now, I really hope that I get the opportunity to work with more such directors so that I can discover more of my abilities. Q – Since you belong to the world of fashion yourself, did it so happen that you got to learn many new things about it through this film? A - I didn't learn any new things about it because the fashion world has been very keenly studied and observed by Madhur and only then has he made a good film on it. What I did learn though, was how a director can use his intellect to deal with a given subject in a very neat and beautiful way and present it before the audiences. Also, I learnt how a film is made and what all is to be kept in mind when one decides to make a film. Q – Did you ever disagree with a scene in the film feeling that it doesn't happen this way in the fashion world? A – No, this didn't happen at all. In fact, after watching every scene, I reminded myself that all of this had happened to me before. Being a part of this world, I have lived each and every one of these moments. What I was most happy about was that instead of showing gossiping or cat fights, Madhur has displayed emotions in the right way. How models feel in their moments of joy and grief has been beautifully presented by him. According to me, this is the special feature of the film. Q – According to you, your character Janet is quite different from Mugdha. But is there something which happens to be common in both? A – (laughs) The only similarity is that both of them are models, beautiful ones, that is. Apart from that, Janet, like Mugdha, has a good heart. Q – Normally, films mirror the society. Do you think the audience could relate to this film? A – I'm not sure about the audience but the fashion industry will definitely relate to this film. The way the innumerable emotions have been displayed through the medium of imaginary characters, every model who watches this film will surely feel that this has happened to me before. As for the audience, they'll discover the truth about the fashion world. Q – Most of the time, viewers feel that the fashion world is a glamorous one and that it's out of their reach. Do you think its human aspect could be put forth before them? A – Oh yes, I'm sure. I feel that not only will the people realize the truth about the fashion world but will also turn sympathetic towards us. Q – How was the experience of working with Priyanka and Kangana? A – It was great working with both of them. Initially, I was scared to work with two such beautiful actresses but when I went to the sets; both of them welcomed me with open arms. I feel that acting is just the medium of reacting. Until you haven't mastered it, you can't react. So they helped me to get better a great deal. Q – Why did you call them beautiful actresses? Don't you feel you are beautiful too? A – (laughs) No, it's nothing like that. Obviously I find myself beautiful but I also appreciate others' beauty. And they are really beautiful too! I feel that adopting an appreciative attitude towards other people's beauty is good and that everyone should do it. Q – One of the actresses who worked with you had no idea about the fashion world while the other was a part of it. So did Kangana ever take any tips from you or did Priyanka give you some? A – I took a few film tips from Priyanka like how to face the camera, etc. during the shooting. Kangana is a brilliant actress so she didn't have to take any tips from me. She'd prepared herself in advance. She's an artist who can easily mould herself easily into any character. Q – During the shooting of the film, there were many arguments between Priyanka and Kangana regarding the outfits. Did any of this happen to you too? A – No, this didn't happen with me or with them either. These are just plain rumors. On the contrary, I was surprised to see the organized way in which people were working on the sets. I had often heard that there are many obstacles while making a film but we had none of this here. Q – You enter Bollywood with this film. Do you want to continue acting or would you rather remain a model? A – I've already become a small part of Bollywood and my co-stars have by now accepted me. What remains is to see whether the audience likes me or not. I've got quite a number of film offers and I've been giving them full thought. I would love to be a part of Bollywood but I can't say goodbye to modeling because I am what I am thanks to modeling. I agree that I won't be able to devote as much time to it as I could before but yes, I'd love to walk the ramp sometimes. Q – Once, you mentioned somewhere that amongst male models, only Milind Soman and Arjun Rampal were your friends. As for the others you said, "The others weren't that great." Why's that? A – That's because my image of a male model is that of a 'macho man' under which only these two names can fit. These days male models are quite thin, long-haired and metrosexual. They look attractive while they walk the ramp but I personally don't like them much.

I don't feel glamorous anymore: Kangna Ranaut

Very recently, Kangna shocked the industry when she made the bold declaration that 'she never felt like being a part of a hardcore Bollywood commercial film because she had no respect for such cinema'! We caught up with Kangna on the eve of the release of Fashion for a candid conversation. As the clock has started ticking for the arrival of the film at theaters across the globe, a pertinent question which one can't help but ask is - 'Who amongst the three actresses in Fashion would walk away with the honors. Over to Kangna: Priyanka has been hailed as the central protagonist in the film. Where do you and Mugdha fit in? (Smiles) Should I really be commenting on it at this moment when the film is ready to be seen by on and all? You should watch the film and you'll get to know. But with most of the promos centered on Priyanka, didn't you feel left out? I didn't. Because the central character of the film is Priyanka. Even the publicity stills and promos are giving the right impression of the film. People should not get the wrong notion about the movie that the promos were focused on one person and the story is about someone else. Madhur's realistic cinema has always raised eyebrows. Do you want to elaborate on Fashion is it again comes with similar traits? Raised eyebrows? I don't know in which way? But he has always been appreciated for the films that he has made. He has also won National Awards. I am sure that this film has a possibility of winning him one more award and I think its going to be a very high impact film rather than a controversial one. You have been a model yourself. That must have helped your performance in Fashion, right? (Scowls) Puhleeze, let me clarify this once again...and on the records. I was never a model! It is a misconception that some people have been carrying with themselves. After being in the industry for around 3 years, do you feel wiser when it comes to making career decisions? Today when I have to make a decision, I do feel much more confident and much stronger. I was just discussing with my friend the other day about how people change and how we grow up from inside. I was 18 yrs when I started, I am 21 today, tomorrow when I become 45 years and when I look back I won't be the same Kangna. At 18- I was different, at 21- I was different and at 45 also I will change. I do feel much wiser while talking decisions today. I feel stable today. Once upon a time, Kangna was a simple girl from Manali with big dreams. Has the world of glamour allowed that simplicity to remain? I think I was much more glamorous before I entered films. I was very funny as a person and I used to think of myself as a huge superstar compared to what I think of myself today. Like when I was in school I used to compare myself to American actors and Miss World and Miss Universe. But today after being in this world I don't feel glamorous anymore. Seriously? Yup, seriously. In fact I have become boring. I don't want to think about acting all the time. I have completely changed as a person, I am not exciting anymore and my life is not exciting anymore. I think, before I came into this glamorous world I was much more fun and funny and exciting as a person. What happens from here? Roshan should be releasing any time. Then there is Raaz 2 that is confirmed for January 2009. Kites is another film and I am also doing an international project!

The Nightingale's Diwali Gift to Fans

It's a quiet Diwali for the Nightingale at home with the family. No special plans after the celebrations earlier during the week when her brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar turned 72 on Sunday. "Every year there's a kind gentleman in Pune who organizes a musical event for my brother's birthday. This year was no different. We've all been involved with that until Sunday. So Diwali two days later would be slightly low-key. Of course the children would have their fun with the usual Diwali celebrations, " says Lataji. After Diwali she intends to get her knees operated for arthritis. The operation would be understaken at the Mangeshkars' hospital in Pune. Although her knees give her more trouble these days than she had ever bargained for the Nightingale's throat continues to be in tremendous shape. Having recorded Sai Baba Bhajans with sister Usha Mangeshkar, Lataji forever making melodic moves, now gets to be heard in a rare unreleased film song. The song Chanda ki chandni is an unreleased gem discovered and re-packaged from Yashraj Films. Since the Nightingale hardly sings film songs nowadays and her last film song was A R Rahman's lullaby Luppa chuppi the film Rang De Basanti, the release of a new song is an event. A bit of inquiry on how the song materialized reveals it was the Lata bhakt Yash Chopra's idea to release the song. Says a source, "Yash Chopra shares an extremely emotional bonding with Lataji. They don't only share the same star sign their birthday is separated by only a day. And they get along like a house on fire. Yashji keeps Lataji entertained with his jokes. Lataji reciprocates with her songs. Yashji in fact insists that as long as she is around no one else will sing in his films. That of course has changed now, what with the new guard led by Aditya Chopra opting for other voices. But when Yashji came to know about the unreleased song in their archives he immediately wanted it released as a Diwali gift for Lataji's fans. So you could say this song Chanda ki chandni is Yashji's gift to Lataji for Diwali. He calls her his Saraswati Mata." Nudge Lataji's memory about the song and she immediately recalls it, "It was supposed to be part of Yashji's Dil To Pagal Hai. But the song didn't fit into the story. So they took it out. I never thought they'd use it later."

Diwali Quotes: Cine Stars

Due to the recession in the share market, not only the share brokers but also the common man has to suffer a lot. It's result can be seen directly on the market. Especially, even during festive occasions like Diwali, the recession is forcing many people to bring about a reduction in their expenditure. How much it affects the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, let's find out from a few celebs. Kunal Khemu – We spend money not because we want to but because it's Diwali and it's our tradition to gift people during this festival. As far as the recession in the market goes, well, it is affecting everybody. The only difference is that it affects people in varying degrees. Mugdha Godse – Recession or no recession, I shop with utmost caution because I don't want to waste my money. According to our customs, I shop for gold or silver on Dhanteras and will do so this year as well. Tapur Chatterjee – I don't think the recession is going to affect my shopping in any way. But I'm so busy these days that I just don't have time for shopping. By the way, I prefer staying at home with my family rather than shopping. Aryan Vaid – Yes, I do feel that the recession will have an effect on my shopping because just today I read in the newspaper that a share broker committed suicide due to the recession. Keeping in mind the sentiments of a number of share brokers will influence my shopping. Rajneesh Duggal – No, I don't think the recession is going to have an effect on my shopping. Neetu Chandra – Yes, it will make a difference but not as much as it will affect the common man. I hope that the Almighty turns this recession into profit soon enough. Shakti Kapoor – The recession in the market is affecting not only India but the entire world. I pray to God that the recession in the share market disappears fast. As far as my family shopping goes, we'll just get two boxes of sweets and finish them off by sharing them among each other. I don't burst crackers but I do burn little sparklers every year and will do so this year too. We celebrate Diwali in a very ordinary way and our grand total is Rs.872 and 81 paise which I have here. Shweta Tiwari – This recession will not affect me because I have already done all my shopping in advance. Mahima Choudhary – I shop so much the entire year that there's nothing left for Diwali. It's the same this year as well. As far as buying diyas, sweets and some gold are concerned, we shall do that as always to keep our customs and traditions alive. For that, the recession can't touch us. Shreyas Talpade – Yes, of course, because the recession in the market has affected our film industry too. It's a little scary but the way things progressed, a recession was quite expected. That it will strike us this badly was not expected. Well, let's see, maybe we can get out of this quickly.
