Post under Bollywood News, Freida Pintoo

While she is travelling all around the world and meeting famous people, Freida Pinto, heroine of the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, feels Mumbai will always be her home.

"I don't have a fixed address as I'm making movies all over the world. I'm filming in Israel at the moment and who knows after that, so I'm not making plans to buy my own place yet, " dailymail quoted Freida as saying.

"Ultimately, Mumbai will always be home. That's where my family is, " she added.

The 24-year-old actress is presently working on a film, "Miral", in Israel and has also been signed by Woody Allen for an untitled film to be shot in London.

Freida, a model and a travel show presenter in India, said when she auditioned for Danny Boyle's "Slumdog...", she didn't know that it would become such a big hit.

"I had no idea 'Slumdog Millionaire' would become such a huge success. In fact, when we were filming, none of us expected it, so the feeling of surprise and shock is still with me."

"The film won eight Oscars and I was nominated for Best Supporting actress at the Baftas, and now, when I look back at photographs in magazines of me at the film awards I can still hardly believe it's me, " she added.

Frieda Pinto who has been romantically linked to her co-star Dev Patel says he is a great guy but stops short of admitting their relationship.

Dev's mother recently confirmed that Pinto-Patel are dating each other but 24-year-old star still calls Dev as her co- star.

"One thing I have found difficult is the lack of privacy. I'm constantly asked if Dev and I are in a relationship, and I don't know what to say, " Pinto said.

"He's a really, really, great guy, and I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful co-star. He's adorable, and a good friend. He always will be, " the actress added.

The star was earlier engaged to actor Rohan Antao but broke-up after finding success.

"I was engaged to actor Rohan Antao, but we broke up at the end of last year. Things happen and you have to learn to deal with them, " Pinto said.

Glittering end to IPL 2 with Bollywood fusion, but no Shilpa

Post under Bollywood News, IPL, Shilpa Shetty

Unlike the opening ceremony of the Indian Premier League 2 (IPL) series in Cape Town five weeks ago, where there was almost no Bollywood entertainment, the fusion of Bollywood, Caribbean and American entertainment at the closing ceremony at the Wanderers Stadium here Sunday night was a glittering event.

But the widely-advertised appearance of Shilpa Shetty with American rap singer Akon did not happen, with no explanation about the deviation from the programme by organisers.

Katrina Kaif joined reggae music legend Eddy Grant as he sang his anti-apartheid hit "Gimme Hope Jo'anna", which became an anthem in the days when the white minority government of South Africa strictly regulated everything from music and song to social gatherings. Choreographer Shiamak Davar also showed some musical talent as he sang the song with Grant.

IPL supremo Lalit Modi also ended up on the stage with them in the finale, as huge lanterns rose into the sky amid amazing pyrotechnics and lasers surrounding high-wire acrobats.

Miss Bollywood IPL South Africa, Dune Kossatz, crowned at a gala ceremony Saturday night, showed off her spectacular crown, designed by Gitanjali Jewellers, made of gold, silver, diamond and other precious stones as she joined other finalists in presenting specially designed outfits by acclaimed Indian designer Tarun Tahiliani.

The man who dared to say NO to Mallika Sherawat

Post under Bollywood News, Mallika Sherawat

It was considered an unwritten rule in Bollywood that when Mallika Sherawat demands something she gets it. There aren’t many men in the industry who would dare to say NO to Mallika Sherawat.

Remember even Big B had accepted her offer to go for jogging in slow motion on National Television. But well there has been an exception now! It is learnt from my industry sources that talented actor Kay Kay Menon turned down the role that Mallika offered him in her home production Hisss.

Reveals our source, "Mallika is a genuine fan of Kay Kay's work, especially his intensity.

Together they had worked in Sanjay Chhel's Maan Gaye Moghal-E-Azam and in her promotional interviews for the film she had heaped huge praises on him.

So when she was deciding upon the casting for an important role in her film that required a very intense actor, naturally Kay Kay's name cropped in her mind. She then sent her team over to him with the script.

After few days Kay Kay called Mallika and told her that he found the script interesting and that he was confident that she would make a good film but he cannot see himself in that part that she has offered him in the film.

It is then learnt that Mallika who is not used to hearing a NO hung up on him in the middle of the conversation even before he could give reasons for not doing the film."

Well just imagine what would have happened had he said that on her face...a HISSSS???
