Priyanka's love scene got us 'A' Certificate

Madhur Bhandarkar is plain amused that his Fashion has got an adults-only certificate. Especially so since the kind of scenes for, which he was challenged have been quite common in his earlier films. For the uninitiated, when Fashion was presented to Censors for a certificate, they objected to a few scenes revolving around Priyanka-Arjan lovemaking and drug intake by Priyanka and Kangana for general viewing. "They felt that these sequences should only be shown to the mature audience. This is why they gave Fashion an 'A' certificate. Their reasoning is that people below 18 years should not be exposed to scenes like these, especially the ones around drug intake, " informs Madhur Bhandarkar who just wants to move on with the promotion of the film while leaving this incident behind. "I don't have time to fight the case. In any case, it has been a day in and night out job to meet the October 29 deadline. The last thing I want now is to get into any further hassles", says Madhur in an exasperated tone, "I did try reasoning with them if they could at the least give the film a U/A certificate but they said that they had their own guidelines to adhere to." But lovemaking or drug intake is nothing new in Madhur Bhandarkar films! Corporate featured an intimate scene between Bipasha Basu and Kay Kay Menon; Page 3 had an extended rave party sequence while in Traffic Signal Ranvir Shorey played the role of a young unemployed man who died on the streets due to excessive use of drugs. "Search me, " Madhur can't hide his disappointment here, "I discussed the same logic with the Censors. My point was that where were these rules or guidelines when the aforementioned films were censored? They were not given an A certificate. Moreover, some of these films even went on to bag National Awards. Censor Board did say that there have been some changes in the years gone by but frankly, I am truly left clueless." Apparently, Censors were willing to give the film a U/A certificate provided he deleted the scenes from the film. Didn't he feel like accepting the offer so that he could cater to a larger segment of audience? "No, " says Madhur forthrightly, "The character graph would have gone for a complete toss had I knocked off these scenes. If I have to show someone going down the hill and loosing her way in her journey towards stardom, I have to showcase what went wrong. I have to show the fall of a protagonist through the bad habits that she has got into and for that, it is imperative that the scenes featuring drug usage, smoking etc. be retained. It is only after a fall like that the rise to glory would have made an impact." In fact, the Censor Board too suggested him to take the 'A' certificate while keeping the scenes intact. "True, they believe that the film has been well made and have appreciated it quite a lot. Even they felt that Fashion would lose its essence if the scenes are cut from the movie just in order to cater to a larger audience. Its ok, I love my film too much and the kind of conviction I have made it with, I won't want to touch any frame. For me, it is realism that matters most and by touching my scenes just for some added percentage of commercial gain, I would have only ended up defeating the entire purpose, " signs off Madhur.

HEMA MALINI

Dream Girl Hema Malini is young at heart. The actress who ruled Bollywood film industry for more than 15 years is still growing stronger with every year. This year Hema turns 60! (Yes, we are not kidding!). Needless to say she doesn't look her age and even today she can look as stunning as young stars.

''I feel 16 at 60,' says Hema with a smile. 'I guess age has nothing to do with creativity, but it certainly has a lot to do with maturity and dedication. I have lived life on my own terms and conditions and now when I look back I feel happy about all the decision I have taken,' she adds. This year Hema Malini will not be able to stay in Mumbai during her birthday (16th October) as she will be visiting Tirupati temple for special puja on that day. Her daughters Esha and Ahana are likely to accompany her on the same day. ''The best way to celebrate birthday is by praying to lord for world peace and harmony. In times of terrorism and global financial depression I guess we can only find peace in our prayers,' says Hema.

2008 seems to be extremely busy year for Hema Malini. The actress will be playing Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia's role in Gulbahar Singh's EK THI RANI AISI BHI, she will be completing the shoot of Raj Kanwar's SAADIYAN.

Simultaneously she will be performing Bharatnatyam and her dance ballet's all across India and abroad. Hema is also expected to attend parliament sessions amidst all these projects.

''It's all about time management and I guess one can do even more than this if we sort out our priorities,' says Hema.

True, we still have a lot to learn from this 60year old woman of substance. To celebrate Hema Malini's 60th birthday Esha and Ahana has planned a special private party at their goregaon bunglow. Deols are certainly going to have a blast!For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize

I did that item number because of Govinda: Esha Deol

There's more happening in Esha Deol's life than meets the eye. Their family's Juhu bungalow which was under construction for the past one year is almost ready. Last year Esha her mom and sister moved into a new panoramic home in Goregaon. Though the three ladies loved the far-from-the-madding-crowd atmosphere at Goregaon and had decided to stay put in their sighing haven, the family is now planning to move back to Juhu to their original place. Says Esha, "We miss our old home. That's where all our best memories are. That's where Esha and Ahana grew up. And that's where all of mom's friends from the industry stay. So yes, we plan to move back as soon as the renovation is done. One of the main problems in our Juhu home was the waterlogging in monsoon. The elevation work has been done. The outside is complete. And now the interiors are being done." But there were advantages of staying in Goregaon. "Travelling to Film City for shooting is so easy here. That set of a aircraft that they put up at Film City for Hijack was just a hop away. Everyday I'd get into my car and drive straight into the aircraft." Esha 's new film has tanked. But had a ball shooting Hijack. "It was an action film. I was an airhostess wearing a skirt. So I couldn't do any stunts. But the interesting part of the film was that I don't have a hint of a romantic association with Shiney Ahuja. Now I'm also doing Shivum Nair's Exchange Offer with Rahul Bose. It's a very contemporary film about a young couple. And working with Rahul is so different from working with any of my other co-stars." Esha also went through a learning experience when she did an item song with Govinda in Money Hai To Honey Hai. "I did that number only to work with Govinda. I'm his biggest fan. As a child I used to watch some of his films almost every day. Dancing with him is a joy. He knows exactly how to handle the body contact in the dancing movements."

'I have learnt to enjoy controversies'

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma's discovery Nisha aka Priyanka Kothari says she has learnt to enjoy the controversies that surround her because they are an intrinsic part of an actor's career. "I don't feel bad when my name figures in controversies. I didn't do anything consciously to be a part of those controversies, but controversies surround me. Now, I enjoy controversies and look at their positive side, " Nisha told. However, she doesn't like it when she is romantically linked with her mentor Varma. "Don't ascribe things that do not relate to me. Varmaji was only a director to me and I remained an actress of his films, " Nisha said when asked about her present equations with the filmmaker. Nisha debuted with a cameo in Varma's "Sarkar" followed by a full-fledged role in his crime thriller "James". She also featured as Basanti in "Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag", a remake of the 1975 hit "Sholay". She was also in the news for her skin show on screen, but the actress doesn't regret it. When her career didn't take off in Bollywood, Nisha reverted to her original name Priyanka and moved down south. But her first Telugu film "Okka Magaadu", in which she was paired with Balakrishna, bombed. But the actress, still better known as Nisha, is happy because despite a bad start she is getting offers. She is working in a Telugu film and also signed a Kannada film "Raaj, the Showman" in which she has teamed up with Kannada star Puneet Raj Kumar. The actress has replaced glamorous actress Malavika in a bilingual film that will be made simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu. Nisha is one more addition to the list of the not so successful Bollywood heroines who are making a splash in the South Indian film industry. Currently, the actress is shooting for her debut Kannada film in Madikeri, 250 km from here. Nisha may well take up some more offers down south, but reiterates that she would take up Kannada offers only after she completes her work in "Raaj, the Showman". "I have worked in two schedules of the film so far in Bangalore and Mysore. We have now moved to Madikeri to shoot some songs. I am really enjoying the work here. Director Prem focuses more on details. And with a big star like Puneet Raj Kumar supporting me with the dialogues, I am really smiling all the time, " said Nisha. Asked about her decision to revert to her original name, she said: "My father suggested that I change by name. I decided to have my original name. After the name change, I am seeing a big turnaround in my career, " she said.
