I have yet to find a boyfriend: Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma who was kept under wraps by the Yash Raj team is finally out in the open. The actress who has signed a three film contract with Aditya Chopra including Ra Ne Bana Di Jodi has not signed any other film as she is bound by the contract.

The debutant says that she was enjoying being under wraps. “It worked for me and I did not need the hype at that moment. I would not have been able to concentrate on my work” In fact, Anushka says that she could enjoy her shopping sprees without being affected by the glamour.

Anushka who has been a ramp model has never had any acting experience but the actress says she did not have to give retakes, “The longest retake was the scene where we both had to elope and I had to cry. I had cried so much during the rehearsals that when the actual shot was ready I did not have tears in my eyes,” says the debutant.

The actress says that being selected for the role was not much a big deal but the actual test came when Aditya Chopra asked her to her recite dialogues from his super hit film Diwale Dulhaniya Le Jayange. Anushka says that she never dreamt of getting working in bollywood. “I never ever dreamt of movies or acting. Though it is often said that modelling opens doors to bollywood.”

She will never get over their first meeting. “It was on the sets, he was in his terrycot pants and spectacles as Surinder Suri. This was not the cool yuppie, the stylish Shah Rukh I was used to seeing on screen. I didn’t recognize him at first and then couldn’t take my eyes off him. But he sensed my discomfort and immediately put me at ease,” she revealed.

The actress who has had a crush on Shahrukh Khan says she was stunned when she got the offer. “My joy knew no bounds when I knew it was my dream hero” she says. Speaking about Shah Rukh Khan, the debutant says , “Shah Rukh was the most amazing experience of my life. He is so dedicated towards his work and a gem of a person. I have learnt a lot of things from him. I just couldn’t get over our first meeting. I expected him to be cool and stylist but what I saw was the Surinder Sahni on sets and I couldn’t take my eyes off him. But he sensed my discomfort and immediately put me at ease Everyday when we used to start shooting the first sentence he would begin with was ‘be comfortable’.”

The 19 year old is a trained bharatnatyam dancer but had to enrol herself with Shaimak Davar’s to brush her dancing skills. The Bangalore based girl is aware that she hails from the same town as Deepika Padukone and there will be comparisons. “I am part of Bollywood I am open to comparisons and criticisms which are bound to happen. I have worked with Deepika on the ramp but we are not in touch I am looking forward to meeting her now.” What amuses me is that I have been quizzed umpteen number of times about my boyfriend. I have yet to find one” she laughs.

For now the actress is looking forward to working with a great wish list of actors. “My favourite is Rani Mukherjee though” she adds.

Rohan Sippy: Akshay has brought his genius to CC2C

While RAB NE BANA DI JODI is already a Superhit and GHAJINI is on the way to become one, Bollywood is looking at a hat trick of big money spinners with Akshay Kumar bringing his CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA in three weeks from now. In a way it is quite deserving for Top–3 stars of the country to be giving back to back big hits, especially in the time when recession has impacted Bollywood too in a big way. No wonder, Rohan Sippy, producer of CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA, is mighty excited about the prospects of his film and credits Akshay Kumar for the way it has eventually turned out to be.

"Akshay has brought in his own energy, his genius to the film", says Rohan Sippy when quizzed about Akshay's contribution to the making of the film, not just as an actor but also as someone who actively gets himself involved into the creative aspect of making the film.

"To begin with, there were no restrictions of any kind when CC2C was being made", reveals Rohan, "At every stage of the film, we were open to any ideas that could help it grow further. Akshay would in fact come up with suggestions during the shots and also improvise a lot. Some of the ideas were the kind that were not on paper or anyone's mind but when Akshay incorporated them, they took the film to a different high."

How did Nikhil Advani, the film's director, respond to such 'involvement'? Didn't he resent it?

"Akshay would always bounce off ideas and most of the time Nikhil enjoyed them. When he didn't, he shared his apprehensions. In any case, Akshay wasn't forcing anyone to accept his ideas", says Rohan while putting a full stop to all controversies.For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

Harman to become Harrmann?

Harman Baweja may not have had a good start to his Bollywood career, with his over hyped and super expensive launch vehicle, LOVE STORY 2050, directed by his father failing at the ticket window. But Harman is leaving no stones unturned to see that this story is not repeated again. And for that he is taking extra care to see that his next venture, a big budgeted sports thriller, based on cricket, starring the who's who of the cricketing world, VICTORY, provides him the success that he rightfully deserves.

In order to ensure that he has already started promoting his film and for that he appeared on Dial C for Cricket, an interactive show on Neo Sports and answered questions related to his movie and of course cricket.

Coming to our headlines, there is a buzz that Harman is in consultation with some astrologers and numerologists. One Mumbai based numerologist, Suniiel Naik says that he has suggested that Harman should change the spelling of his name. Most probably Harman may go in for Harrmaann and hold a press conference to announce the change of name, if and when that happens.

Well Harman, or should we say Harrmann, here's wishing you all the luck for your forthcoming endeavours.For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

2009 begins with a heap of releases

While CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA (arriving on 16th) is the biggest release of January 2009 with RAAZ – THE MYSTERY CONTINUES, which follows a week later, carrying good reports as well, they are not the only ones to kick start the year 2009. Instead, as many as five films would be arriving before these two films, though all on 9th January (which is the second weekend of the year), since traditionally, in the decade gone by, none of the movies released on the first weekend have done well at the box office.

These movies are 42 KMS, BAD LUCK GOVIND, HORN OK PLEASSSS, KAASHH...MERE HOTE and THE PRESIDENT IS COMING. While 42 KMS was earlier titled MARATHON and couldn't see the light of the day, BAD LUCK GOVIND too is a small time film and carried a working title of KISMAT BOLE TOH? earlier on. HORN OK PLEASSSS has been mired in controversy ever since the Nana v/s Tanushree battle made headlines while KAASHH... MERE HOTE just doesn't bring with it positive vibes in spite of a romantic theme. As for THE PRESIDENT IS COMING, one wonders how Rohan Sippy and team would concentrate on its release considering his biggie CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA releases a week later.

No wonder, situation is pretty glum for each of these five movies even as they defy the first weekend jinx. That's because all of them belong to the kind that has been ready for quite some time now and are just being released because no other biggie is interested in arriving during this time frame.

There’s no bad blood between me and Asin

So far Jiah Khan who plays the other leading lady in Ghajini is almost completely missing from the film's promotion and publicity. Sighs Jiah, "Ghajini is a big film for me. And I'm very happy with my role. As for why I'm not in the promos, what do I say? Wait and watch. The truth will be out when my song Lattoo starts.It's my first big Bollywood item song. And I've been performing to Bollywood songs from the age of 6 in front of the mirror. I've had years of practice. " Jiah's last (and so far only) film came two years ago. "Nishabd and Ghajini are so different. I needed this kind of a challenge. I'm dressed from head to toe—except for that one song where I transform from a Plain Jane to a femme fatale. I hope they accept me in this role." No regrets about doing an unconventional film like Nishabd so early in her career? "None at all. I agree our audiences are still very conservative and Nishabd was a very bold subject. Even in the West Lolita created a huge controversy although they out there are no strangers to sex and nudity. For me Nishabd was a challenge because I got to work with Mr Bachchan and Mr Varma so early in my career. And to be doing a central role in a film featuring Mr Bachchan. It made me what I am. So I am grateful." However the challenge for Jiah in Ghajini is to be accepted in a more conventional role. "If I had Mr B as my co-star in the first film, here it's Aamir. Can't get any bigger." Asin and the rest of Southern crew never made Jiah feel like an outsider. "I love working with the South Indian cast and crew made me feel completely at home." Reports say she was at loggerheads with the film's other leading lady Asin. Jiah protests. "I don't have any scenes with Asin. But recently we were in Panchgani together. And we spoke for the first time then. Without a doubt she was amazing in the original Tamil in Ghajini. This is her first Bollywood film and therefore a big thing. From my side there's no bad blood at all. I think Asin is beautiful. She has been working a long time. This is just my second film. I had a lot to learn from both Asin and Aamir." Jiah admits she was intimidated by Aamir. "To match up with was quite a tough task. I've grown up by ten years in the last two years." As For Kangana Ranaut the problems, if any, are over. Says Jiah, "I saw Fashion and met her and told her she was fabulous. She's a lovely girl. Why would anyone give me trouble? I don't trouble anybody."

Katrina and Preity's unlikely yaari

In Bollywood there have been many actresses who have been friends for a long time. Just how the likes of Kareena Kapoor-Amrita Arora, Koena Mitra-Tanushree Dutta and Kim Sharma-Preity Jhangiani are. There have been others who have ended their friendships on a sour note. One famous example was when Aishwarya and Rani fell out after Ash got replaced by the Mukerji babe in 'Chalte Chalte'. The Priyanka-Kareena and the Kareena-Esha Deol friendship also didn't stand the test of time. There have been more cat fights than girl bonding between two female celebs in Bollywood. Of late there is a buzz that Katrina Kaif and Preity Zinta have struck up a friendship. Katrina who's considered wooden and cold by many and doesn't have too many females liking her in B-Town says that she absolutely adores Preity Zinta. Apparently the duo take time out of their busy schedules to chat, shop and hang out with each other. Katrina has said, "Preity is such a warm and lovely person." And she goes on to talk about why people think that two actresses can't be friends and so on. It's just that no one takes the 'best-friends-forever' status of actresses seriously. Past experience can make anyone not want to do that. We really doubt that this wooden actress would prove us wrong in the future.
