Katrina is the reason for Ranbir-Deepika fight

Lover birds Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have ended up having their first major fight since the time, Ranbir proposed Deepika during the Filmfare Awards Nite, earlier this year. The reason for this fight has been Katrina Kaif! 

Sources inform, "Deepika had heard from her sources about Ranbir's growing comfortability on and off the sets of Rajkumar Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani during the two month long shooting schedule in Ooty. 

While Deepika never confronted Ranbir over it, she got very insecure when her sources from the sets of the same film reported fresh news about what was happening between the two in the Goa schedule. 

It is learnt that during the Goa shoot both Ranbir and Katrina appeared more than comfortable (Vijainder-read physical) with each other than before even in front of the unit members on the sets.

Deepika headed to Goa straightaway after hearing from her source. During her one day trip she met her source and headed back to Mumbai after hearing it all in person. 

When Ranbir came to know about it, he called Deepika and they both had a huge argument over the phone which ended up in Deepika hanging up on him. Since that day, Deepika has been avoiding picking up Ranbir's calls."

No we gotta see how Salman Khan reacts to this one! Ranbir calls Salman, Sir on and off the sets since the time they did Saawariya together. Katrina had earlier expressed to us her views on Ranbir as, "A very witty co-star and fun to be with on sets."For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

All you Indian muslims wear black band on this Eid: Dia Mirza

All Indian muslims to wear black band on Bakr-Eid to protest against terror attacks… bollywood reacts.

Dia Mirza: "Of course I will wear a black band. It will give out a token signal against polarization in the nation. It is important for the Muslim community to speak up at this time and protest against acts of terror.

Irrfan Khan: "Yes I will wear the black band to send out the message that terrorists are the enemies of Islam. And they cannot divide Indians in the name of religion 

Naseeruddin Shah: "The trouble with these symbolic gestures is you feel you've done your bit. We should hold on to this feeling of dissastisfaction and helplessness so that we are galvanized into action. 

Muslims feel obliged to take up token gestures to distance themselves from the bastards behind the 26/11 horror. But why are Indian Muslims perpetually required to prove their patriotism?

Abbas (of Abbas-Mustan): "Yes, on Eid-ul-Zoha we will definitely wear a black band and request the entire Muslim community to do the same to show the world that we condemn terrorism and stand unified to combat it. 

Shabana Azmi: "I'll most definitely wear the black band and urge all Indians to do so."

Iqbal Khan: "Yes I'll be wearing the black band to show that there is nothing called Islamic terrorism. I'm a Muslim and I know for a fact that Islam does not have anything to do with terrorism

Anees Bazmi: "Surely I'd be wearing a black band. Terrorism has no place in Islam"

Jiah Khan: "Yes I will be wearing it. We as Muslims don't believe in terror and condemn terrorism in the name of religion.We also need to remember the names of all the poor souls who lost their lives so cruelly and we'll pray for their peace

Kabir Khan (director of Kabul Express and New York): "Terrorists have no religion and this is something any thinking person would easily understand.

I'm a little uncomfortable with the thought that Indian Muslims have to go that extra mile to prove their allegiance with tokens of protest like the black band. Why just Muslims? Every Indian should be wearing black bands on the same day so that all of us can stand and be counted as one nation.

This would be a befitting reply to those failed nations that were created on the basis of religion. The media should give us space to condemn these madmen who have hijacked Islam with their lunatic interpretations

Abbas Tyrewala: "Yes, I'll be wearing a black armband. No clever or quotable reason for it. Just as a mark of support, solidarity and love for my city and community. And to show my rejection of violence in the name of religion, not just Islam.

Shabina Khan: "Yes I'll be wearing the band for sure. But why only Indians? I think ALL Indians should wear it to show we are one. We should wear a black band of protest even on Christmas day.

Eijaaz Khan: "I will wear it. I guess token gestures se hi kaam chalana padega. I think it would a good start for us Muslims to show we're part of the Indian mainstream reaction of anger and outrage against terrorism.

For now it might be the only gesture to prove we stand with the nation to condemn the attacks. It's imperative for the world to know what the educated Indian Muslim's sentiment is.

Farhan Akhtar: "My request is that all Indians should wear a black band regardless of their religion and community to show terrorists and those who try and exploit this situation in the upcoming elections that their tactics to divide us will no longer work.

Adnan Sami: "Sorry I won't wear the black band. These gestures are meaningless and cannot undo the ghastly tragedy that has fallen over our beloved city. Pardon me for saying this. But I think lighting of candles, etc is all humbug. 

Where was the state security when our Mumbayites were being mowed down? We were calling the Black Cats from Delhi! Why don't we have our own Black Cats in Mumbai? 

After all it is the financial capital of India. What difference is a black band going to make? Will it resurrect the dead? 

My heart bleeds for all those who died because of these barbaric brutal misguided fools who crept in from sea to drown us in shame and sorrow.

Muzzamil Ibrahim: "I'll be wearing the band for sure."

Zoya Akhtar: "Yes I will and I hope all Indians and not just the Muslims, do so

Imtiaz Ali: "Yes, the black band band will symbolize that disease that has hit the Muslim population—terrorism. And the mainstream Muslim's resolve to get rid of it. Bakri Eid is the festival of sacrifice. These are not safe times And this time we need to get out of our safe zone.

Amna Sharif: "First of all there's nothing to celebrate. And yes I'd wear a black band on an auspicious day like Eid but not only as a Muslim, but an Indian. All of us should stand united against the brutal terrorists who are enemies of humanity and peace." 

Zayed Khan: "Our nation has been attacked by a bunch of cowards who in the name of religion call themselves martyrs of God. What a joke! What kind of people would attack defenceless humanbeings? 

These people have hijacked our religion to put forward their own political agenda of dividing our people and country. We must pause to look at history where we'll see how the same divide-and-rule policy was applied by other invaders.

I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with all my brothers and sisters from every religion against the evil and cowardly act. 

I will wear the black band on Eid and urge every Muslim who loves India as much as I do to do the same. We must send out a clear and strong message to the perpetrators of this ghastly act that they can never ever win.

Baba Azmi: "Yes I will wear the black band and I think every Indian should be wearing it."For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

The girl who used to say Sex & SRK sells has changed

Neha Dhupia isn't shying away from admitting that she made quite a few wrong choices in her five year long career. 

She has seen hits and flops at regular intervals but 2007 onwards; she is being seen in a different light altogether. While she is doing Mithya with as much as ease as Singh Is Kinng, soon after Dasvidaniya, she is appearing in Maharathi. A planned move?

"For me, the most important thing is the fact that I am enjoying it all. There are these so-called commercial projects and then also the other kind of films that I am doing.

There is a very definite line between the two. I am not undermining the 'masala' fare but seriously, films like Mithya, Dasvidaniya and now Maharathi are made from the heart. 

These are the kind of films that are made for the love of cinema. I am enjoying being a part of both kinds of films", Neha says happily.

So the balancing act would continue? "Pretty much so", Neha says promptly, "I have to feel good with the kind of work I do and currently I am very happy.

However, let me clarify that not even for a single minute am I saying no to big commercial cinema. After all, that's where I have my maximum accessibility to audience. 

These are the films that have maximum reach and more and more people want to watch them since they wish to leave their worries back home. So yes, I would be seen in all kinds of cinema."

She goes on to add, "Today when I sign a movie, I make sure that my role has to be good. Length is not the deciding factor. 

Also, I don't see a project as commercial or offbeat. I check whether there is something about a project which is good. Something has to come out of it, whether cinematically or commercially. 

There should be at least one set of target audience where it is guaranteed to work. This is why not you would see me either as a part of a good film or a good project."

The change doesn't seem sudden though. She would have certainly planned it all out while choosing the distinct projects that she is seen in today? 

Says Neha, "If you have to look ahead, you have to see what you have left behind as well. It is plain and simple mathematics. I took two steps back to make sure that I could take four steps forward."

And what made her do that? "Honestly, I was not enjoying the work I was doing at all. But no, let me not say that I was being misguided. 

Puhleeeze, they were my decisions and no one else was responsible for the work that I did. Today, I can gladly look back and say that yes, I was facing a storm but I braved it. I was making a few mistakes; I learnt from them and moved on."

The future looks good though, isn't it, what with 2009 also showcasing her in a variety of roles? "Yes, I can confidently say that 2009 would be even better. 

There are movies like Raat Gayi Baat Gayi and I Am 24 which are completed and should release early 2009. Then I have also just completed Pappu Can't Dance Saala which is another amazing film. 

Raftaar with Emraan Hashmi is a film I am looking forward to as this is commercial and yet so demanding as an actor. I would also be beginning work on Priyadarshan's De Dana Dan with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. So as you see, quite some variety at play", smiles Neha.For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

Ranbir Kapoor hits Katrina Kaif

Now this is going to makje Salman Khan very angry. According to a latest buzz, Katrina Kaif recently got hit on the face by Ranbir Kapoor, of course unintentionally, on the sets of a Rajkumar Santoshi film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.

The incident happened on Monday evening when the stars were shooting a chase sequence. “An elaborate set was created at Madh Island and it was a chase sequence where Ranbir and Katrina were supposed to be running away from some goons.

All was fine till the point where Ranbir needed to suddenly turn around. He did that but in the bargain hit Katrina’s nose with his hand and the delicate actress went tumbling to the ground. She was in great pain but realised that it was unintentional, so she didn’t complain,” says a member of the crew.

The director had to cancel the shooting as they had to seek medical attention for injured Kat. The next day, too, Santoshi did not shoot the film but used the free time to do some decoration on the sets.

Well, Ranbir must be hoping that Salman doesn’t take this episode to the heart!For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

Gauri thinks SRK is not good enough!!!

SRK and Gauri's love story and marriage has been the subject of discussion in Bollywood for long. The fact that the marriage of a Muslim super star with a Hindu has sustained for so long makes it even more interesting. It has been like a good example of sorts.

But the actor is not yet interested in making a film based on his real life love story.

He has reportedly made it clear, "I think I have included parts of my life in many of my films. And now if I film my own love story my wife will leave me.

It's not a great love story. But even though it might be an ordinary love story it seems extraordinary to us. I'd like to relate this to my upcoming film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. 

So no, I do not think I will make a film on my love story. As even if I did, I don't think Gauri would act in it. She thinks I am not a good enough actor."

We understand Mr. Khan. But wish you would also let the audience decide. After all, many think your love story is a great exampleFor Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

Katrina Kaif never looked so beautiful

Katrina kaif is on cloud nine these days According to sources ever since Yuvvraaj hit the theatres the actress has been inundated with SMS's complimenting her not only for her performance but also for her ethereal look in the film. 

"Katrina looks like a dream in Yuvvraaj. She has never looked so gorgeous before."

Katrina fans have been nonstop blogging compliments galore and some interesting insights too.

Fans strongly feel that besides Subhash Ghai other directors who can do justice to Katrina's looks and talent are Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Yash Chopra. 

According to sources "A Sanjay Leela Bhansali or a Yashraj film starring Katrina will be a real treat for the viewers. Both the directors are known for their strong portrayal of women in different genre of cinema. Sanjay Bhansali & Yash Chopra are both world class directors. And Katrina's looks spell class. 

The two would be a perfect director-actress combo."For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

Watch out for RNBDJ it's next DDLJ in the making

If insiders from Yash Raj Films camp are to be believed, Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan have yet another DDLJ up their sleeves. They may be keeping a low profile on RNBDJ, especially in the aftermath of the terror attack, but the kind of subject they have in hand, the movie is bound to make waves by the time first weekend comes to a close.

Says an insider, 'RNBDJ is a relatively smaller film, both in grandiose and duration, when compared to films directed by Aditya Chopra or Yash Chopra. However, the film's strength is its subject and script which is going to please everyone. Ladies especially would fall totally for RNBDJ which has a great feel good quotient to it.'

But why a low profile so far?

'YRF has traditionally kept their films low profile. And same was in the case of CHAK DE INDIA too which has been their biggest grosser in the current times. They want audience to explore the film and trust me when I say that the film would invite audiences in hordes', says the insider confidently.

Does it mean a repeat audience is in the offering?

'Pretty much so', says a trade expert who has a fair idea about where the film is headed towards, 'RNBDJ's budget has been set in a medium range but if there is a film that comes with a potential of breaking OM SHANTI OM record of 80 crores odd, it is RNBDJ. It's a matter of the film taking a very good, if not exceptional, opening this weekend. Once that happens, I am sure there is no stopping the film from crossing the 100 crores net mark just from India. The vibes are that great.'

Well, we are waiting to see that happen, especially after SINGH IS KINNG and GOLMAAL RETURNS being the last money spinners that Bollywood witnessed!

ShahRukh Khan is now a 'Datuk'

Wearing a traditional black and gold Malay outfit (Baju Melayu and samping) and headgear, Khan received the title of "Datuk" (equivalent to British Knighthood) from the governor of Malaysia's southern Malacca state.

Bollywood superstar ShahRukh Khan today became the first Indian actor to be conferred on a prestigious Malaysian title.

Wearing a traditional black and gold Malay outfit (Baju Melayu and samping) and headgear, Khan received the title of "Datuk" (equivalent to British Knighthood) from the governor of Malaysia's southern Malacca state.

Baju Melayu is similar to a kurta pajama, while 'samping' is a piece of cloth men tie around the waist and which falls to the length of the long shirt.

The 43-year-old actor, who has a large fan base among the Malays, held the estimated 1,000 guests at the investiture spellbound as he received the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM), conferred on him and 76 others.

The actor kept waving to his fans as he was escorted into the hall. The Bollywood icon was the focus of attention as media and fans clicked away using cameras from their seats.

The actor will be referred to as Datuk Shahrukh Khan in Malaysia and will be addressed as Datuk. Each Malaysian state chooses its own list of people to honour with "Datukship". A majority of the awardees are local Malaysians who would have excelled in some area or are in the government.

Malacca authorities said Khan was given the title because some of his movies had been shot in the the historical state boosting tourism.

Khan shot a song for the movie 'one two ka four' in Malacca which was named as one of the heritage cities by Unesco a few months ago.

However, the decision to award Khan with the Datukship received a fair share of criticism across the country with local artists and public noting that the award could have been given to a local actor or artist.
