I am an absolute brand baby: Neetu Chandra

One should not follow style blindly. Q: Where do you mostly shop from? A: I have my designers who take care of that. Anita Dongre, Rajesh and Anirban are the people behind my style.

A: Yes, I am an absolute brand baby and prefer different brands for different outfits. Q: Your gym wear is... A: T-shirts, tracks and Reebok shoes. Infact, the tracks and t-shirts I use while working out are also Reebok. At times, people have actually asked me if I am endorsing Reebok. Q. Do you go for the formal look at times? A: I don't like wearing formals much. I wear them only when needed. When I do, I prefer Zara, Chanel and Christian Dior. Q: What's your casual look?

Q: Which brand do you favour for footwear? A: Chanel, Aldo, and many Indian brands. The same goes for my handbags. Q: What are the cosmetics that you use?

I'll take strong action against any false rumour of my break up: Preity Zinta

Bollywood diva Preity Zinta doesn’t looks to be in a pretty mood and has lashed out at the media for spreading rumours about her so called break up with Ness Wadia. Preity writes at her blog post “It’s ridiculous how media sits and writes anything they feel like without even the decency and the journalistic norm of contacting all parties - well in advance - for their side of the story.” The actress has bluntly denied the rumor, saying the journalist who wrote the story for Mumbai Mirror tried to call her up, but after the story was already published. Preity asks “At.12.00 o’ clock, midnight (08th april 2009), I got a text message from this journo, saying ‘There’s a story about your new link-up’, and we need your comment on this.’ But when I called him back, I was told that the story was already printed and that they couldn’t do anything at that point. I was livid. So then, what was that call? And exercise in futility?” Preity writes further at her blog post “Apparently, now they’re saying that this story came about because I was cheering for Vikram Chatwal at the Fashion Week. How ridiculous is that? When I cheered for Shah Rukh Khan, then no one questioned me as to why I cheered him the most? At the LFW there were also Arjun and Mehr Rampal, Rahul Bose, Ujjwala Raut - all famous celebrities and my friends; and I cheered all of them. I cheered for all of them because the show was for Mumbai.” “I don’t like discussing this so publicly, but the point here is, I want to clarify what is right and wrong. People cannot write anything wrong about someone and get away with it. Especially about me, because I will take strong action against any false rumours or stories. I will fight against what is wrong, ” the actress writes. Not only this, Preity slammed the Bollywood media, saying the paparazzi culture of Hollywood is catching up here in Bollywood. She says, “In fact, in Hollywood the paparazzi system is really strong, but whenever there is false news, the Courts abroad are fast and quick to punish the offenders. Any false news is severely and immediately dealt with by the Courts.”

Maanyata will just be a housewife: Sanjay Dutt

Immediately after the courts declined Sanjay Dutt the opportunity to contest the Lok Sabha elections the Samajwadi Party leaders got into a huddle and decided Sanjay’s wife Maanyata should take his place in the Lucknow constituency. To everyone’s surprise it was Sanjay Dutt who vetoed the idea. Says a very reliable source, “The party heads were very clear on Mrs Maanyata Dutt’s candidacy after Mr Dutt was out of the fray. Surprisingly it was Sanjay Dutt who shot down the idea. For the first time Sanjay dodged his political mentor Amar Singhji’s advice and very firmly declared that his wife won’t be any part of politics.” According to the source Sanjay is very clear on his wife’s role and function.In fact Sanjay wasn’t too keen on his sister Priya entering politics either and had advised her against it. Says the source, “He married Maanyata because he wanted a woman who could look after his home. Maanyata too is very happy to be what the couple calls a ‘working housewife’ who looks after every aspect of Sanjay’s life from the domestic to the business side. Maanyata handles everything from the food that Sanjay eats, to the clothes that he wears to the friends that he meets to the films that he chooses. Frankly, Sanjay Dutt panicked at the thought of his wife stepping out into the political arena.” When Maanyata’s name came up at the emergency meeting Dutt took his political mentor aside and explained that a political career for his wife was not what he had in mind. “To his credit Amar Singh completely understood Sanjay’s point of view and decided not to pursue the matter any further, ”says the source. Maanyata’s name as a substitute to Sanjay’s candidature was dropped immediately…But not before Maanyata too made it clear that she was thoroughly in agreement with her husband on his refusal to let her enter politics. Says the source, “Maanyata personally called up Amar Singh and excused herself from getting into the rajneeti fray. She told him she was more than happy being Mrs Sanjay Dutt and to look after his home. His political career, she said, would look after itself.” The Samajwadi Party has now chalked out a political plan of action for Sanjay Dutt wherein the actor will remain actively involved with the party politics without contesting the elections.

Jhalak makers want gossip, flirting and rivalry for TRPs: Bhagyashree

Bhagyashree of Maine Pyaar Kiya fame put on her dancing shoes for the third season of reality show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" but became the first one to get voted out. She says the show was more about generating gossip and creating rivalry than about dancing alone. "For me, 'Jhalak...' was a wonderful opportunity to learn dance. But after joining, I found out that it wasn't really just a dance reality show, " Bhagyashree told over phone from Mumbai. "They wanted a strong element of gossip, rivalry, competition, flirting, etc and I couldn't get myself to be a part of all that. It's not me and it's not the way I have been brought up, " she added. Bhagyashree's presence on the show came as a surprise. The actress, who claimed to have two left feet when it came to dancing, says she accepted the offer because she was keen to "learn how to dance". "When I was asked to participate, it was given that it is a programme where non-dancers would get to learn different types of dance forms and would then perform. But sadly, it didn't turn out to be so. "People actually came up to me and said, 'Why don't you go ahead and just do something (gossip, backbiting) for TRPs?' For me, a reality show like 'Jhalak...' was supposed to be like its international counterpart 'Dancing With The Stars' - people fall and get hurt there for real, people get angry at their choreographers if they can't learn a step - but what was happening here put me off entirely, " she said. She disliked the way things were manipulated on the show. But Bhagyashree enjoyed working with her choreographer Toby Fernandes and performing on stage and says she won't mind going back to the show. The show is going to have one of the evicted contestants to join back as the wild card entry and Bhagyashree says she would like to be the lucky one. "I'm looking forward to the wild card entry because I had a fantastic choreographer and teacher in the form of Toby Fernandes. I have learnt dancing from him. The only thing I was upset about was they were trying to project me as someone else and I didn't like that. But I have forgiven them because I can't hold vengeance against anyone." For now, the 40-year-old actress, who hails from Maharashtra, is excited about the release of her first ever Marathi film "Zhak Marli Bayko Keli". In the film, Bhagyashree plays a woman whose husband gets romantically involved with another woman. On being asked about her experience of doing the film, she said: "It feels wonderful to be doing a film finally in my mother tongue. I always looked forward to working in one but somehow it didn't work - either the script wasn't right or I didn't have dates or there was some or the other issue. So all these things made it nearly impossible for me to do any Marathi film." Bhagyashree is also doing a Bollywood film titled "Red Alert - The War Within" along with Suniel Shetty. She is looking forward to doing more films in Hindi because she feels "the industry today is booming with new themes and subjects that are being treated with a fresh perspective". "A very different kind of cinema is being experimented with in the industry. So I would surely want to be back in Bollywood with something different."

Many guys will turn up and would die to marry her: Ravi Kishen

Rakhi Sawant surely knows how to be in news without any help of a PR. At present the controversial girl is featured all around media with her new reality show on NDTV Imagine, Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, which would make Rakhi meet her future husband. We spoke with some of the television celebs and tried to find out, what they think about this new show, whether they would ever have contested in such a show in which Rakhi is involved and also whether the show would earn TRP’s for the channel. Chetan Hansraj: I don’t know much about the show but I think it’s an over hyped show. No, I would never have been a contestant on such a show. As far as channel’s TRP is concerned, I don’t want to comment on it. Saurav Pandey: Rakhi is a good friend of mine. I wouldn’t like to say something negative but actually I was wondering that which guy would like to marry Rakhi Sawant. I am just waiting for the show very eagerly, just to see that what type of guys will come to marry Rakhi Sawant. Guys like Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan. No, I wouldn’t like to marry her as she is a good friend and I am happy to be her friend only. But I believe the channel will earn a lot of TRP from this show because everyone is looking forward to this fun and drama filled show. Amit verma: I am speechless, what do I say but yes, I feel it’s a very unique concept; its weird as well as unique way of getting married. But I would definitely not like to try or experiment such ways of wedding. It is something that only Rakhi can do as she can only experiment on such issues. I respect her for that. I wouldn’t like to marry her as I think Rakhi is better as a sister and I would love to have a sister as mischievous as Rakhi. I think the show will give the channel a lot of publicity and TRP. Even I am looking forward to this show. I think this show will help the channel to gain back its position. Ravi Kishen: It’s a fantastic concept. I am happy about the show and may god bless Rakhi to get the best possible soul mate this time. She is a lonely soul and she deserves someone who can understand her well. People always tell her dramebaaz and all but I think she is a nice girl. I know many guys will turn up and would die to marry her but I can’t because I am already married. If I would have been a bachelor then too I don’t think so I would have been a perfect match for her. Sharad Kelkar: I don’t know much about the show, but yes I have heard about this show and its inspired by the show called bachelors. But good this concept is being used in the Indian television. Very honestly I wouldn’t like to marry Rakhi Sawant at all but yes, she has always helped the various channels when it comes to TRP’s.
