What's happening in Bollywood!

No Aamir for two months, Lara and Neha go white and Hrithik's a repeat offender!

Garmi ki Chhuthi for Aamir

He maybe a superstar but he still needs a break. Aamir Khan updated his blog at 5.36am this morning saying that he was off on a summer break for two months for his kids and would be "going to go off the map for the next two months."
But Khan remembered to leave an important message for the people: To all Indians, remember to vote, and make an informed choice, meaning, check out all the candidates from your area before you decide who to vote for.
Also, you probably have heard by now that all film producers and distributors have decided not to release any films in any Indian national multiplex chains until we get fair terms, and they stop bullying us, and they stop all irregularities. So please bear with us.

Hello Hello

A saree clad Lara launches the new Aircel GSM prepaid mobile card at Taj Lands End

White Magic

Both Neha and Lara, who launched different products on the same day, chose to wear white in different styles. Neha’s frilly and lacy dress is summery and girly while the leggy Lara looks pretty and graceful in her rose embellished off white sari. We like her subtle make up too. So here's a tip from the fashionable two to beat the heat with pastel shades!

Bring home the action

Aamir celebrates the success of the Ghajini DVD. The two disc collectors’ edition disc launched on his birthday (March 14) and has gone on to top the home video charts since then.

Repeat Offender Hrithik

If you thought superstars never repeat their clothes, think again. The gorgeous Hrithik Roshan doesn’t mind repeating his favourite shirts. He wore the bright red shirt to the Poison launch in October last year and to the premiere of Slumdog Millionaire in January this year

And here too!

Hrithik loves his sea green shirt. He first wore it to the Star Screen awards in January and to the Ambika Hinduja-Raman Macker wedding in February.
But what to do? We still love our Duggu - even if he commits the most un-cool fashion faux pas!

Adhyayan Suman wants to record a music album

fter the success of Raaz-The Mystery Continues, Adhyayan will be seen in another Bhatt camp film, Jashnn, which marks the return of Mahesh Bhatt to direction after a hiatus of ten years. The relative newcomer talks about his first solo hero film, working with Mahesh Bhatt and his ‘superb’ experience in Goa.

JASHNN is the story of Adhyayan, an aspiring singer, his alcoholic and neurotic sister played by Shahana and his girlfriend, played by Anjana Sukhana. It traces the difficult journey of these three characters through life and the celebration of success at the end of the road.

Jashnn is your first solo hero film. So how did you deal with the responsibility?
I think you have to be very patient. I didn’t think about the pressure. My job is to work hard and be truthful. I did not think too much.

How was it working with Mahesh Bhatt?
Working with Mahesh Bhatt was an outstanding experience because the man has so much of experience in every sphere of life. I am only 21 years old and I have so much to learn from him. The man has so much emotion in him and I haven’t seen that in anyone else in the industry. He made me live the character of Akash for the 44 days that I shot for the film. Among the films he has made, I love Dil hai Ki Maanta Nahin, Arth and Saaransh. The list is endless.

What was the most difficult part about playing Akash, your character in Jashnn?
The most difficult part about playing Akash was that I had to keep him real. I couldn’t make it look like I was acting. It had to be a normal, having-a-conversation-type-of-performance. For 44 days, I lived the character of Akash with the characters of Anjana and Shahana on the sets. I felt everything that was happening to Akash was actually happening to me. We all felt like that. And we have become good friends after the movie, which is a good thing.

Is there an incident that occurred during the making of the film that stands out from the rest?
When I was shooting in Goa, I was going through this emotional scene with Mahesh Bhatt. My character Akash had to breakdown and cry over what had happened in his life. Then I realized that 2,000 people were standing there and looking at me and my performance. So, obviously I got conscious and disturbed by the noise and the circumstances. But Bhatt saab being Bhatt saab, told me something about his life that inspired me to do the scene. So after the shot, all those people were so moved that they were actually, literally crying. My interaction with the audience after the shot was unbelievable; it was like me doing theatre. They came and asked me what had happened and why I was crying. They hugged me and kissed me. It felt superb to be appreciated instantly like that

You recently launched your website. So have you googled yourself?
Yes I have googled myself and there are more stories about me and Kangana than me or my movies. That happened because we were also playing a couple in Raaz-The Mystery Continues but that will change soon because we aren’t doing movies together and my official website is there too. So now the focus will shift to my films. I have signed four films after Raaz-The Mystery Continues.

Besides acting what do you like to do?
I like to sing, sleep, work out, eat, read, surf the net and spend time with family and friends. After I am ten films old, I would like to cut a musical album.

Akki's workout anthem

Chandni Chowk To China may have been a flop at the box office, but its hip-hop title track made rapper Bohemia a superstar overnight. And one of the biggest fans of the desi rapper is none other than Akshay Khiladi Kumar.

Bohemia was born in Punjab and raised in California, where he gets his music influence from. His journey to Bollywood started late last year when the singer got a call from Akshay Kumar's office. "I was surprised because I was a small musician and he is a superstar! When we spoke, he told me he had been listening to my music for two-three years and that he works out to my music. He said he was a big fan and wanted to invite me to India to work on Chandni Chowk to China," Bohemia told us.

However, it was in Toronto that the two met. "I met him at his friend's place in Toronto. His wife Twinkle was also there. It was obvious immediately that he is quite humble even though he is a superstar. He told me he had first heard my music in 2007 -- a song called Kali Dinali from my first album. Since then, he plays that song for his morning workout because it gives him energy. I was really shocked!," the singer added.

And the rest, as they say, is history. "He wanted me to write something about his life and his movie in rap style. It was a big opportunity for me and I started working on it as soon as I got back to California. When I finished my song, he asked me to come down to India," Bohemia explained. Rohan Sippy and Nikhil Advani liked the rapper's work and invited him to Mumbai to work on it right away.

This foreign addition to Bollywood is confident about his future in the industry and has released a new album called Da Rap Star. The video of the first track Ek Tera Pyaar out on television.

The two hot men in Bipasha’s life

It’s not just the female fans who are smitten by the cutiepie Ranbir Kapoor. His charm has also floored our hottie Bipasha Basu. After working with the young Kapoor in ‘Bachana Ae Hasino’ Bips just can’t stop talking about Ranbir.

Now it's clear that Bipasha has a soft corner for the dashing and talented Ranbir but the height was when this bombshell said that her lucky boy is none other than our chikna Ranbir.

"He is a youth icon in today's time. I really had a fantastic time shooting with him." And we thought that John's the hot man in her life! "John's my boyfriend and he is certainly hot but Ranbir is my lucky boy." We wonder what Deepika and John have to say on that!

Adhyayan’s not in love with ‘actress’ Kangana

Kangana Ranaut has always been known for her unique style of dressing. Be it any event or party, the beautiful actress knows how to dress to impress. She is a youth icon when it comes to fashion.

But though she is loved for being totally fashionable and high on style, her boyfriend Adhyayan Suman begs to differ. The style diva Kangana revealed that Adhyayan loves her the way she stays at home.

"He doesn't connect with the girl who is an actor and very stylish. He loves me the way I am at home." Seems like Adhyayan likes her girl just the way she is... sweet and simple. But then, it’s it what we call true love?

Salman's got his family hooked

Malaika Arora Khan and her ‘bump on the ramp’ (read: pregnancy rumours) is much talked about these days.

Of course, Malaika has squashed the ‘bumpy’ rumours. Anyway, when we bumped into the yummy mummy at a spa recently, she was wearing a T-shirt that endorsed Salman Khan’s charitable trust. But it’s not just her. These tees are being worn by one and all from the Khan khandaan often enough. While Salman Khan was spotted in one when in UP, Arbaaz chose to wear the same green T-shirt at a bash in Mumbai; Katrina wore it on a visit to Dharavi, and now Malaika wore it at a spa! Now there’s nothing wrong in bonding over ‘tee’, right? It’s ‘being human’!

Bipasha: Realising her 'wet dreams'

Bipasha Basu is happy the schedule of All The Best has beenpostponed.

About why it has been pushed... Bipasha was to shoot with Sanjay Dutt, but the man who’s nursing political ambitions these days is of course unavailable! So Bips has been granted some spare time, and has taken off to Goa, just to learn swimming!

Apparently her inability to swim kept her away from the water, in spite of her being quite fond of water. “I’m using my vacation to learn swimming,” Bipasha told us. “It has always been a goal, but I just never had the time to pursue it. I’ve got a good two weeks off now, and I’m going to make the most of it,” she said. So it’s sun, surf and swimming for Bips as her co-actor Dutt is ‘polls’ apart.

Shilpa visits Golden Temple

A day before leaving for South Africa for the IPL tournament, Shilpa Shetty made a sudden visit to the Golden Temple in Amritsar along with her parents, sis Shamita and fiance Raj Kundra.

In fact, Amritsar saw a whole host of celebs descend on the city – literally, because a flight had been chartered specially by Shilpa’s friend Kiran Bawa and her dad GS Bawa, so that they could all visit the famous gurudwara.

There was Shakti Kapoor, Aditya Pancholi, Mukesh Rishi, Ekta Kapoor with her parents – Jeetendra and Shobha Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Anand Raj Anand, Jaspinder Narula, Monica Bedi, Abhijeet, Gurdeep and Arjun Punj, Hiten Paintal with his father Paintal, Poonam Dhillon and Anita, Pankaj and Niketan Dheer, among others.
The plane landed at Amritsar airport at 2 in the afternoon. Shilpa was dressed simply in a yellow salwar-kameez, and was accompanied by Raj. Shamita wore a pink suit, and walked alongside their parents Sunanda and Surender Shetty.

The airport was buzzing – a huge crowd was waiting to welcome the guests with garlands and flowers. A special police band played a merry tune. The party reached the gurudwara around 3.30 pm. Shilpa immediately covered her head with her duppatta. Inside the gurudwara, again, there was a huge crowd waiting for a glimpse of all the stars. “Just the fact that I’m here is wonderful. I’m happy that my entire family and friends from Bollywood are here with me to do the sewa too,” Shilpa said. Her mother added, “We actually wanted to do some sewa, but looking at the rush here, we couldn’t.” Shamita, protecting her mother from getting pushed around by the crowd, said, “It’s been a great experience, but the rush was maddening and it spoilt our mood.”

Bollywood’s ‘Golden’ effort

At the airport we saw Kiran welcoming the guests along with her father, GS Bawa. While everyone got busy with their luggage, TV actor Arjun Punj and his wife Gurdeep Kohli looked rather relaxed as they chatted with Hiten.

When we caught up with Arjun, he said, “It’s a great feeling. This is the first time that I have seen so many people from Bollywood come together and make an effort to do something different.” We also saw Jeetendra, along with his wife Shobha and daughter Ekta. Ekta was busy talking on the phone and when our cameraman tried to click her, she even tried to hide her face.

Playback singer Abhijeet, who had come with his wife said, “This is the first time I am here and it feels very good.” Monica Bedi looked rather demure in a white kurta and she said, “I just love coming to the Golden Temple... It refreshes my mind body and soul.”

Later, we asked Kiran why she had got so many celebs to the temple, and she told us, “We basically wanted to create an awareness amongst the people about doing sewa at the Golden Temple and so, we brought all our friends from Bollywood. It was my father's initiative. He organised this function and brought all his friends to do sewa.”

Much later, at the exit, we spotted Raj patiently waiting for Shilpa and her family to be escorted to the car. He said, “I loved the experience of coming here. This is my first time and that too with Shilpa and her family members – that made it all the more special. I hope and pray that my team wins the IPL this year too.”

When we asked him about his wedding plans he confessed, “Well, hopefully there will be some good news and you shall hear it from us very soon.” Immediately after the darshan, Shilpa left for the airport with Raj and her parents and sister, as did Ekta and Monica. The rest of the guests preferred to stay back for a day. There was also a party at a hotel in the evening.
