SRK: Cheerleading is not vulgar

If cricket is a no-nonsense sport for Badshah Khan, so is cheerleading.
For all those people who think cheerleading is a vulgar act, Knights and Angels was SRK’s answer to them. Supporting the sport, SRK says, “Knights and Angels is not a part of the marketing strategy for my cricket team. It is an extension of my belief in spreading the awareness of sports in India. Cheerleading is a big sport in America and cheerleaders have their own fan following.
As the controversy hit our nation last year regarding this new sport, I decided to add respectability to a profession which can create great opportunities for the youth brigade.” When somebody asked King Khan how he was managing to shoot for the finale despite being in pain because of the shoulder injury, pat came the witty reply from the Baadshah, “Iss saal sabko haraane ke liye meri team ka ek hi haat kaafi hai.” King Khan, all we can say is hats off for promoting and glamourising sports in our country. Tune in to Knights and Angels tonight at 9 pm only on NDTV Imagine.
Women are superior: Akshay

Akshay Kumar,
Bollywood News
Is it sheer coincidence, pure conspiracy or a publicity stunt that whenever Akshay Kumar has a film ready for release, the action star gets embroiled in some controversy that takes on national proportions and gets played out on all channels with full drama?It happened before Chandni Chowk To China and, earlier, Singh Is Kinng. Now just after the Khiladi’s new big film hit the screens yesterday, Akshay is in the thick of two burning issues relating to a promo for Sajid Nadiadwala’s July release Kambhakth Ishq and his being a somewhat daring showstopper at the Lakme Fashion Week for designer Tarun Tahiliani on Monday.
According to his detractors, the Kambhakth Ishq promo has Akshay holding the sexy Kareena Kapoor suggestively with his lines reading, “Women are good for only one thing...” The film promo, released on March 27, has tongues wagging in disapproval already. And at fashion week, well, his walking the ramp in jeans that were unbuttoned partially by wife Twinkle sitting among the frontbenchers, has led to a social worker filing a complaint with the police against the actor, his wife, the LFW organisers and also the hotel where the event was held for indecent, vulgar and obscene behaviour..
The police is uncertain whether it has a case. And legal experts vary between being vague about the law and dismissive of the complaint. But Akshay is furious. These aren’t publicity stunts, he declared.
Earlier when dragged through similar fires, the actor scoffed at the attempts to defame him as being the work of a leading contemporary in Bollywood who was insecure about his meteoric rise in the film industry. But this time, while not taking names and hinting that he knew who was behind the exercise, Akshay is determined to prove a point.
Apologising if the jeans-being-unbuttoned stunt hurt anybody’s sentiments, he said that the entire act was part of the storyboard and was no big deal — thereby shooting down the rumour that it was done at the last minute because SRK was going to be Manish Malhotra’s showstopper later that night. And of the Kambhakth Ishq promo, again he chose to take the actor’s way out by saying, “Why do people forget that actors play roles, enact parts and deliver lines to get reactions... they are never personal?”
The promo, incidentally, gives only half the line. “Wait for the complete line,” advised Akshay, “then women will be glad to know how the jerk I portray eventually sees the value and importance of the superior gender — the woman!”
Prachi Desai: Tusshar is very supportive

Prachi Desai
After making a successful transition from television to films with her role opposite Farhan Akhtar in the hit Rock On!!, Prachi Desai’s next project in Bollywood is a romantic comedy titled Life Partner, releasing in May. The young actress stars opposite Tusshar Kapoor in the film which also features Govinda, Genelia D’Souza and Fardeen Khan.
As for the cast of the film, Prachi says, “I have worked with Tusshar for the first time in this film and he has been very supportive. He is a brilliant actor who has been a guide for me throughout the film. He has the ability to completely take hold of the character he is playing. Every member of the cast was really good. Genelia has also done a superb job.”
Her co-star Govinda is known for his superstitious nature; when asked if he displayed this trait on the sets, Prachi says, “I really don’t know anything about Govinda being superstitious and I have never encountered any such incidents on the sets. He is quite funny and I think that he does the best comedy onscreen.”
As an upcoming star in Bollywood, we asked Prachi to name her favourite Bollywood actors. She says, “I like quite a few stars such as Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and Kajol. But my all-time favourite is Preity Zinta. She has a way of acting that makes her so lively and realistic. She has always been a pleasure to watch onscreen. As for the guys, I like Hrithik Roshan; he is my all-time favourite actor. He is perfect in every aspect.”
Surprisingly, Shah Rukh Khan is not on the favourite list. Reacting to this, she says, “He is also good. That way, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and everyone is good but I think Hrithik has a unique style of acting and stands out in the horde.”
Although Hrithik tops her list of favourite actors, given a chance Prachi's first choice to work with is none other than her first co-star. She says, “I would like to work with Farhan Akhtar once again. I think he is a great actor.”
Apart from Life Partner, Prachi has also signed for a role in the underworld-based film Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, directed by Milan Luthria starring Emraan Hashmi.

Celina Jaitley has no Aitraaz to Kannada Film!

Celina Jaitley
The super sexy Celina Jaitley is now heading down south. Now all you Celina fans need not get worried! It's just for one film!
The actress' office confirms that she is going to be part of a South Indian film and has signed her first Kannada film named Shreemati opposite south superstar Upendra.
Now the film we hear is a remake of the Bollywood Blockbuster Aitraaz and Celina will be essaying the same role as that of Priyanka’s in the Hindi film. The big question is do you think Jaitley will be able to pull off PC's role?
And one little secret that we just heard is that initially Priyanka’s role in Aitraaz had been offered to Celina by Abbas Mustan but she had turned it down and now Celina is doing the same role in Kannada.
So is that Celina could be regretting her decision after Aitraaz became the superhit it did? Or is she hoping that it will do the same for her career as it did for Priyanka?!

Ranbir overtakes Saif and Kareena by 18 crores

Saif Ali Khan
Two-film-old Ranbir Kapoor should be feeling quite proud of himself. The young actor’s latest film has a budget which exceeds Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s next film by 18 crores. Ranbir’s Wake Up Sid as well as Saif and Kareena’s Jehaad are both being produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
WAKE Up Sid is a romance set in Mumbai revolving around a good looking young man (Ranbir Kapoor) who falls for an older, simple woman (Konkona Sen Sharma), who is a writer from Kolkata. A source from the production team says, “The film’s budget was initially 80 crores but due to the recent market condition, it was reduced to 60 crores. Hopefully, the film will release in October this year.”
As for Renzil D'Silva’s Jehaad, starring Saif and Kareena, a source says that it has an estimated budget of 42 crores. The source adds, “The film, based on terrorism, revolves around an Indian woman (Kareena Kapoor) who marries and moves to the US. Later, she finds out that her husband is a part of a terrorist group. It will release this year.”
The news is surprising as Saif and Kareena are considered the hottest pair in Bollywood right now and they are the most expensive brand as a couple. In addition to this, Saif has appeared in 50 films and Ranbir’s cousin, Kareena, has done 38 films. But Dharma Productions doesn’t seem to think these are good enough reasons to splurge on Jehaad’s budget.
Rumours doing the rounds that establish Karan’s high hopes for Wake Up Sid are that he has given the distribution rights of the film to UTV Motion Pictures, making it an exception as all his previous films have always been distributed by Yash Raj.

All the pretty girls in town; one has a sporty cover, one has a new cosmetic deal, the others have the same phone and two have the same awful dress.
Perfect New Face: Joining the likes of Aishwarya Rai and Eva Longoria, is the stylish Sonam Kapoor who is seen in a print ad for the new Flawless White Perfect day crème. The ad appears in the April issue of magazines like Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire.
Sporty Girl: Svelte and sexy bod Shilpa Shetty graces the April issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. It makes sense for her to be in sportswear since the IPL is about to start.
Same-Same: Priyanka Chopra and Prachi Desai share the same phone in different colours. Priyanka has a black Nokie N95 while Prachi has the mauve and silver version of the same. The phone will set you back by a cool 25 grand
Vote Karo: While we are happy that Kat has been named as the Indian Barbie but we can't really help but wonder if that decision is fair?! Katrina has a British passport and is a British citizen. What is more is that she can’t even speak the National language fluently enought while Ash is fluent in Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Urdu along with English. Ash is internationally renowned while Katrina doesn’t enjoy international fame. So really what could be the reason for Kat edging Ash out for this one?
Horrific Match: Shriya Saran wore the short and slightly varied version of the dress to the LFW recently while Neetu Chandra wore it to a Gladrags event a month ago. Both are equally repulsive and ghastly. Don’t the ladies take a second opinion before stepping out?
Jewellery Diva: The gorgeous Sushmita Sen inaugurates a PC Jewellers showroom in New Delhi. We love that she isn’t clad in black and her white outfit looks beautiful and relaxed. Her kundan neckpiece is elegant, even royal and we’d love to get out hands on it. The green rock on her finger makes us green with envy.
