Shilpa Shetty shines in 'Hi! Living'

Now that the much awaited IPL has started in full swing, can Bollywood be far behind! Even though the cricket tournament isn't being held in India this year, it just hasn't failed to dilute the Indian populace into a frenzied sports driven mania. One can only wait and watch the 'resultant' of the marriage of Bollywood and cricket.

One such initial 'resultant' is in the form of the latest issue of 'Hi Living', which has got Shilpa 'Miss Long Legs' Shetty, on the cover. Keeping up with the extreme pace of the game, Shilpa drapes herself in some exquisite clothing, thus raising the temperatures on field as well as off it! One must say that, the Shetty girl has really gone all out to promote her team 'Rajasthan Royals', with a music video et al.

Making this month's issue of 'Hi! Living' a must read is Shilpa Shetty and her style quotient that can give the even the most glamorous of the models a run for their moolah!

Dia and Sanjay Gupta's acid test

Dia Mirza, who is known to be very close to Sanjay Gupta and seen at all Gupta bashes, is now not so happy about being associated with the filmmaker.

Dia is currently looking out to resurface in Bollywood but is unhappy that Gupta’s film “Acid Factory” is yet not finished. She is stuck to that film and cannot plan any more dates as Gupta may resume shooting anytime and she would be required to shoot.

However, Dia has made it very clear to Gupta that the constant delay is affecting her career and dates.

Gupta obviously is facing a bad time with recession and did not take her words very kindly. Apparently, he told Dia to keep her opinions to herself!

Shahid-Kareena film likely to release soon

Kareena Kapoor and her ex-beau Shahid Kapur were a hit pair in "Jab We Met" and the actress says they won't disappoint fans as an on-screen couple in their much delayed "Milenge Milenge" either.

"I know people have expectations from us individually and as a pair. And they won't be disappointed. It's a very sweet film. And not dated at all though it got delayed. I'm as proud of 'Milenge Milenge' as I am of any of my films," said Kareena, who is currently dating actor Saif Ali Khan.

The romantic comedy by director Satish Kaushik has been in the making since 2005.

Defying all talk that she has been sidelining her only pending assignment with Shahid, Kareena said she had been running in and out of the studio to complete the dubbing before she leaves for a shoot in New York.

"We're all professionals here. For me it doesn't matter who the leading man in 'Milenge Milenge' is. For me what is important is that I made a commitment to two of my favourite people in the industry - producer Boney Kapoor and director Satish Kaushik - who've stood by me from the beginning of my career. How can I let them down? Boney wants a summer release for his film. I've to complete my dubbing before I leave," said Kareena.

"I'm running in and out of two dubbing studios. I've already completed most of the dubbing," she added.

"Milenge Milenge" is special because the former couple will be seen together after Imtiaz Ali's lovable "Jab We Met" in 2007.

Hrithik and Ganesh Hegde create their best work

Hrithik Roshan and ace choreographer Ganesh Hegde created magic with the dance moves in "Koi Mil Gaya" and the two have teamed up again - but this time for a TV commercial for popular biscuit brand Hide-n-Seek.

"The commercial required a radically different sound concept and what Ganesh conceived, composed and executed was brilliant," Hrithik said in a statement.

"Working on the commercial with Ganesh was a gift from god. After three agonising years with damaged knees, managing to justify his genius choreography was extremely challenging. I'm happy to say that this one is going to be our best yet and the entire credit goes to Ganesh," said the actor, who underwent a knee surgery last year.

The TV ad will be aired later this month.

'It is too early to involve families'

Deepika Padukone has been in the industry for just a year and half. But she is without doubt one of the most talked about people in Bollywood. And when it comes to her relationship with beau Ranbir Kapoor, talk and rumours are endless.

Taking a rather fresh and ‘honest’ approach, the actress decided to go ahead and clear the air.

Read on as she talks about her love life, ex-boyfriend and films to come…

A recent interview with a magazine saw you coming out full on about your relationship with Ranbir. You seem to have remodelled yourself and become free-speaking and honest!

I don’t think it is anything like new and improved. I have always believed in being honest and that’s what I have done here. May be it is also because now I have a lot more to talk about or have a lot more experience that I can share.

One thing that my father always taught me was to be honest when being interviewed. I have always been honest and answered whatever I have been asked.

It is also important on the journalist’s part to have the right questions as you need a guideline to stick to the kind of questions you would like to ask. And also, ask it in the right way which makes us want to answer it.

Does being open about relationships harm your image as an actress?

I don’t think so. It is important to be honest because somewhere I would anyway get caught. I have been always been very clear about everything that I have said, whether it has been about my relationships or my movies, their failure or success.

What makes you so open about your relationships?

Well, I think I also know where to draw the line. I am not someone who will hide it as I am not embarrassed about being in love as I think it is the most beautiful feeling. But then, as I said, I know where to draw the line and what happens beyond that is something I don’t think people need to know.

Since you are being all honest, tell us, are you uncomfortable about Ranbir’s affinity to Katrina Kaif?

Do I look uncomfortable or worried? (Laughs) I am quite happy about their relationship. They are just friends. All’s very clear and going well.

We hear while Rishi and Neetu Kapoor have accepted your relationship, Ranbir’s sister Riddhima is not quite approving. What do you have to say?

I think it is too early to involve families.

Ranbir is growing his beard for his next film. Do you like him this way or you prefer him clean shaved?

I think that’s up to you to decide how you like him when you see him.

And we hear he has been asked not to mingle in public much so as not to reveal his look. Do you miss partying with him outside?

No one is under house arrest!

Bipasha Basu recently said Ranbir is one of the hottest actors around.

I agree with her.

Talking about films, you did admit that ‘Chandni Chowk To China’s’ failure disappointed you. Would you be honest enough to admit that it was a bad film after all?

Absolutely not! Why would I be a part of it otherwise? Somewhere as an actor you trust your script. I chose to be a part of the film. No one forced me to do so. I trusted my director and trusted my judgment and sometimes you go wrong. But you learn from your mistakes. I definitely don’t regret making the decision, but yes I am disappointed it didn’t do well as we really worked hard to make it.

Akshay Kumar apparently said he would not like to work with you as you were unlucky for him. Your comment please.

I don’t think he would say so. We will be working together very soon in Sajid Khan’s movie ‘Housefull’. We start shooting in June.

Your next project is ‘Love Aaj Kal’ with Saif Ali Khan. Tell us about that.

Thank you for asking as I have been waiting to talk about that one! It is something that I am really looking forward to. Working with Imtiaz (Ali) was a dream for me. Not only because of ‘Jab We Met’. I have also seen his first film ‘Socha Na Tha’ and I think he is an extremely talented director. He is a wonderful person and that comes across in the way he directs his films. Also, ‘Love Aaj Kal’ is very different in terms of the role I play in it.

Saif Ali Khan says you are the most stylish lady in the industry. How do you react? What do you think about Kareena Kapoor?

I am actually very fond of Kareena as an actor. In terms of style, I think we actors very rarely get a chance to dress the way we want to. Usually we dress for a film or an event. We are always dressing the way someone expects us to wear when we go to events.

I think Kareena is looking fabulous after all the weight she has lost. But if Saif has said that about me then thanks to him!

Your ex-boyfriend Nihar Pandya will be debuting with Prashant Chaddha, the director of ‘Aap Ka Surroor’. What would you like to say?

It is something he always wanted to do. He always wanted to be a part of this industry. I would like to wish him all the best.

Getting off the track a bit, how much are you into reading and internet surfing?

I do read when I get the time. Internet is, however, quite restricted to just emails and work-related things. Nothing more than that.

It’s IPL season. Are you watching the matches and who are you supporting?

Yes I am watching IPL. As far as supporting goes, it is a tough choice for me between Mumbai Indians and Bangalore Royal Challengers. I am half here and half there.

Did Shah Rukh Khan invite you to South Africa?

Yes. But who wants to go so far. I wish it was here. I’d rather watch it on TV.

Finally, would you be considering any Hollywood offers?

Most definitely I would.

Mugdha Godse is the showstopper of the season

Model-turned-actress Mugdha Godse seems to be the flavour of the season.

Madhur Bhandarkar’s “Fashion” obviously brought her a lot of glory. She has been seen sizzling on the ramps across India as a showstopper for several.

First it was Delhi where she was the showstopper for Satya Paul in a beautiful sari. Then the leggy lady attended the fashion week in Mumbai in a trendy ensemble for Narendra Kumar. She finally wrapped up with a scintillating green gown in Kolkata for designers Gauri and Nainika.

On being asked about her appearances, she said: “I feel the designer’s creation is the real showstopper. It’s a great honour to be chosen by the designer to be the one to bring out the beauty of the ensemble.”

Salman passes on screen name Prem to Arbaaz

Bollywood star Salman Khan has found a new way to pass on his luck to younger brother Arbaaz Khan - by passing on his lucky screen name Prem.

The actor suggested that Arbaaz name his character Prem in his upcoming film "Prem The Game", where he plays the lead.

"Earlier, Arbaaz's character was called by a different name. But Salman suggested that he call his character Prem. So, Arbaaz changed his name to 'Prem'," said a source close to the actor.

Salman's character in 1989 hit "Maine Pyar Kiya" was called Prem and the actor never looked back since then. He later went on to do many films with the same character name as he considered the name lucky. Some of these movies were "Hum Saath-Saath Hain", "Biwi No.1" and "Chal Mere Bhai", among others.
