Not all Pakistanis are terrorists: Nikita Anand

Actress Nikita Anand is extremely upset hearing talks about her Pakastani co-star Muhammar Rana being refused entry into India on the pretext of Mumbai terror attacks. Muhammar, who is a superstar in Pakistan, stars opposite Nikita in Partho Ghosh’s forthcoming film ‘Ek Second – Jo Zindagi Badal De’ along with the director’s favourites Jackie Shroff and Manisha Koirala. When the ex-Miss India heard the talks about Rana’s visa being denied, she promptly shot, “Not all Pakistanis are terrorists. Muhammar is a cute Pakistani and I want him in India for my premiere, no questions asked”. The actresses’ grouse is justified too. If performers such as Adnan Sami, Atif Aslam, Meera, Javed Khan and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan can freely perform in India and even be treated as ambassadors of cultural exchange, why should there be any discrimination for her co-star Muhammar Rana. Nikita, who made a successful debut as an actress in Prakash Jha’s Dil Dosti Etc opposite Shreyas Talpade and Imaad Shah, will also be seen in Nileish Malhotra’s ‘Monopoly’ where she plays a grey character similar to the one Eva Green played in the James Bond blockbuster ‘Casino Royale’.

Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in what one may call a hush hush shoot shot the promotional song for their film Love Aaj Kal in Mumbai. A unit source revealed, “It was a four day shoot in Mehboob Studios in Bandra, Mumbai from 21st to 24th May. A huge set was been erected for that purpose. Both Saif n Deepika participated in it and it was more of a fun shoot as it was also more of a get together for the whole unit.” It is learnt that director Imtiaz Ali and producers Saif Ali Khan, Dinesh Vijan and Eros are so happy with the way the film has shaped up that they’ve decided to spare neither efforts nor money in its promotion. Love Aaj Kal is about love today and love as it used to happen in the past. While Saif in the present times plays a cool dude in the film, he enacts the role of a Sardarji in the portions which relate to the times gone by.

I am not a nude or topless model

Salman Khan’s ‘special’ friend and Hollywood actress Claudia Ciesla is livid. And very rightly so! The Indian media has incorrectly ‘termed’ her a nude and a topless model. In an exclusive interview to a reporter, Claudia poured her heart out: “I had done just one shoot 4 years ago and that too for a very prestigious international publication. That was at the beginning of my career, and while I won’t say it was a mistake; I may add in hindsight that it was an indiscretion.” Expressing her anger, disgust and disappointment at being incorrectly termed a nude or topless model, Claudia while referring to certain reports in the Indian media said, “Unfortunately they never checked. They wrote what they read or just presumed things. I cannot explain to every journalist individually, but I humbly request the Indian media through this report to kindly get their facts right before ‘terming’ or ‘labeling’ someone. It’s a really tough world out there. It’s not easy to make it as a super model. It takes a lot of hard work, perseverance, determination and sacrifice – hours at the gym, diets, rehearsals – it’s not just cakewalk. Years of hard work to build a good reputation can be destroyed by just one irresponsible report.” “I am working hard to promote Indian ethnic fashion in Europe. I have modeled and showcased Bollywood designer Umair Zafar’s bridal collection all over Europe. But the media doesn’t seem to notice that. There are several good pix around wherein I am either modeling Indian outfits by Umair or showcasing traditional Indian wear. But that doesn’t make it to the front page, ” Claudia lamented, adding that one or two fake photos circulating around on the internet immediately make news. Bollywood’s Badshah Salman Khan had last week officially acknowledged German supermodel and Hollywood actress Claudia Ciesla as his "special friend" laying to rest all gossip regarding their ‘very special friendship’.

Priyanka Kothari set to sizzle again

Changing her name did not help Priyanka Kothari aka Nisha Kothari much. She was last seen in a tantalizing item number with Fardeen Khan in ‘Darling’. Her delayed release ‘Go’ went unnoticed and without creating any stir.

Now, it seems she is all set to impress everyone with her forthcoming flick ‘Agyaat’ where she plays the solo female lead. She also has a sizzling dance number in the film titled ‘Kiss Mix’.

“Yes, that’s my song in Agyaat. Don’t you like the sound of ‘Kiss Mix’? I find it quite cute actually; it is just one of it’s own kinds,” says Priyanka.

When the shooting of AGYAAT had come to a standstill, only a few scenes involving Priyanka were waiting to be shot. The earlier plans were to have only song to be picturised but later ‘Kiss Mix’ was added as an after thought.

“This is one song which has excited me so much after a very long time. And before you call it as an item or a promotional number, let me clear this at the very onset that ‘Kiss Mix’ would be very much a part of the film”, says Priyanka.
