'Kushal’s sacrifice for Gauahar was of no use'

Motor mouth Dolly Bindra is not one of those who minces her words.

The actress is known for speaking her mind and something similar happened when she entered the Bigg Boss 7 house recently. During her recent Bigg Boss visit, Dolly got a chance to speak and share her views with all the 9 contestants.

Dolly says that she told Kushal that his sacrifice (who got dismissed for being aggressive towards Andy) for Gauahar was a waste and that walking out of the show was stupidity.

"I told him that he was doing so well in the game but one wrong step where he ran towards Andy and tried to hit him spoiled everything for him. His sacrifice for Gauahar was of no use as after his dismissal, Gauahar immediately became friends with Andy. But he seems to be a changed man now and I hope he continues to be the same. I have advised him to be friends with everyone and there's no need to fight with anyone," said Dolly Bindra.

When asked about her views on Gauahar, she says, "Gauahar is a nice girl but the only problem with her is that she never accepts her faults. She thinks she can never go wrong and she's always right. And I have noticed that she is dominating and loves arguing a lot. But I would like to tell her that everyone has their opinion and you can't just force your opinion on others."

Well, we hope the Bigg Boss 7 contestants will take Dolly Bindra's opinions seriously.

Why Shahid Kapoor decided to go bald?

Actor Shahid Kapoor has agreed to go bald for Vishal Bharadwaj's " Haider". He says the decision was driven by the fact that the look is justified for his role in the movie.

"Haider" is said to be the director's adaptation of William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'.

"I thought it is justified. When I read the script, I found it very interesting and I have tried to do something shocking whenever I have worked with Vishal. With him I have always tried to do something different," the actor said here at a promotional event of his upcoming release "R...Rajkumar" Friday.

Meanwhile, Shahid also admits that one of the best performances of his career was in Vishal's film "Kaminey", which released in 2009.

"He is a phenomenal director. He has given me 'Kaminey'. It has been the most appreciated role of my life till now. It's great working with him again. It has been a lot of fun," said Shahid.

"Haider" also stars Shraddha Kapoor in the lead.

'People take undue advantage of Salman's stardom'

Bigg Boss season 2 contestant Payal Rohatgi, who entered the Bigg Boss house recently during a freeze tasK, feels that people take undue advantage of Salman's popularity for their personal benefits.

"Salman always comes to the show well prepared. He watches the entire week's footage before pointing out mistakes. Like when Pratyusha was going wrong and Kamya didn't support her, he complimented Kamya for that. But I don't understand why can't people take criticism in a sporting manner. I am sure so many times even he must be under pressure as to what to say and what not to. Because he's a big celebrity what ever he says becomes everyone's concern and people start bashing him or his NGO. It's very upsetting to see that people take undue advantage of his stardom for their personal benefit," said the actress.

Payal also feels that Salman's presence on Bigg Boss has taken the show to another level and has made it a household name, "Salman Khan's association with Bigg Boss has taken the show to another level. Because of his presence, the show has gained immense popularity and the reach of the show is tremendous. It has become a household name,"Payal adds.

Madhuri finally attained stardom after a series of consecutive flops when she landed the lead female role as Mohini in N. Chandra's blockbuster 'Tezaab' opposite Anil Kapoor. After the astounding success of the movie, Madhuri and Anil shared a sizzling chemistry on-screen and according to reports, their off-screen chemistry was great too! After 'Tezaab', they starred in a string of hits like 'Ram Lakhan', 'Jamai Raja', 'Kishen Kanhaiya' and 'Beta' to name a few. Anil promoted Madhuri heavily and they shared a common secretary - Rakesh Nath (Rikoo). Soon Madhuri was known as a part of the Kapoor clan. In fact, she never even acted with Amitabh Bachchan at that time as Anil was considered a rival to Mr. Bachchan at the time.

Anil promoted Madhuri heavily and they shared a common secretary – Rakesh Nath (Rikoo). Soon Madhuri was known as a part of the Kapoor clan. In fact, she never even acted with Amitabh Bachchan at that time as Anil was considered a rival to Mr. Bachchan at the time.

After Anil Kapoor, Madhuri's sizzling chemistry with Sanjay Dutt mesmerized audiences. Apparently, their fondness for each other grew on the sets of 'Saajan'. Fortunately, the success of the movie helped them to boost their relationship. However, Madhuri's father objected over this bond since Sanjay was already married to Richa Sharma. Richa was battling cancer in the US and Madhuri lent Sanju a friendly shoulder during this trying time. Crew members alleged that she often visited him on his films sets and they would spend hours with each other. Nevertheless, Sanjay's TADA arrest took the relationship to its unfortunate end.

Although Madhuri's pairing with 'King Khan' Shah Rukh in Anjaam couldn't create ripples at the Box-Office, when they both reunited for Yash Raj Films' super-hit 'Dil To Pagal Hai', their passionate and charming romance on screen made them perfect lovebirds amongst  fans. Many even hailed them as love icons for the young generation. Madhuri's portrayal of a young woman faced with a moral dilemma even fetched her a fourth Filmfare Best Actress Award and the movie became the second highest grosser of the year.

Madhuri's chemistry with Salman has been on display in a number of films like 'Saajan' and 'Dil Tera Aashiq' but 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun!' amazingly created history in Indian cinema. Overnight, Salman and Madhuri's romantic posters started throning the bedroom walls of the youth and they both turned out to be an iconic romantic couple. Madhuri's mischievous, strong-minded and independent girl's role in the movie again fetched her the Filmfare Best Actress Award. Madhuri still maintains a friendship with Salman and believes that he deserves the success he has today. Recently she revealed that she would really want to work with him if there's a good script.

In 1990, Madhuri starred in the super-hit 'Dil' opposite Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan. Though Aamir was not as famous as he is today, yet his on-screen chemistry with Madhuri was liked and admired by one and all. Some critics even claimed that there probably hasn't been another youthful couple who looked so damn good on the screen. Young college goers followed their fashion trends and the movie's songs were a great medium to express love. As a result, the film became the biggest Box-Office hit of the year in India. Few journals even claimed that Madhuri in fact saved Aamir's career. However, in 'Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin' both failed to recreate the same magic.

Mallika Sherawat ko gussa kyun aata hai?

At a media interaction to promote her reality show 'Bachelorette India' that was recently concluded, Mallika Sherawat was seen bashing a journalist during a war of words.

This recent video of Mallika Sherawat that shows her snarky responses to a female journalist about her interview during the Cannes film festival has gone viral.

The Cannes interview that got Mallika lot of flak for her fake 'accent' has come up once again. A journalist during the press conference for the launch of the show, questioned Mallika about her regressive comments on the Indian society while abroad and projecting the country in bad light. The scribe went ahead and asked her the reason to find love in India as she has so much complaints about the country? This question did not go down went with the Bollywood actress and she asked the reporter to do her 'homework' properly first.

She blasted the reporter and said she stood by what she had said earlier. Mallika went ahead and explained how because of honour killings, female foeticide, female infanticide she believes Indian society is regressive for women. When the journalist corrected Mallika on her statement in the interview given to a foreign publication, Mallika disagreed and challenged her to play the interview in front of everyone.

To defend herself Mallika said 'main hindustani ladki hoon aur main hindustan kabhi nahi chodungi'. Mallika guarded herself well and was seen chanting 'do your homework' to the journalist in the video.

We love that Mallika stood up for herself and did not need a publicist to dismiss the question altogether. Now we all know ki Mallika Sherawat ko gussa kyun aaya!

Actress miffed over deletion of oral sex scene

Evan Rachel Wood has slammed Motion Picture Association of America for promoting a double standard as they cut a sex scene from her new movie 'Charlie Countryman'

The 26-year-old actress took to twitter by saying that after seeing the new cut of the movie, she would like to share her disappointment with the MPAA, who thought it was necessary to censor womans sexuality once again, the New York Daily News reported.

The 'Thirteen' star added that the scene where the two main characters make 'love' was altered because they felt that seeing a man give a woman oral sex made people uncomfortable but the scenes in which people are murdered by having their heads blown off remain intact and unaltered.

Deepika chooses Salman over Shah Rukh?

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who is on a high after delivering three back-to-back hits, is considered close and loyal to superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Not only did SRK launch her in 'Om Shanti Om' but also gave her the biggest hit of her career - 'Chennai Express'. Hence, it comes as a surprise that she is now making efforts to get closer to SRK's rival Salman Khan.

While Deepika was shooting with Shah Rukh Khan for Happy New Year at Mehboob studios, she took time out of her busy schedule to meet and chat with Salman Khan. The 'Dabbang' actor was also shooting an ad film in another set in the same studio.

A DNA report says that the pretty actress went across to say 'hello' to Salman. She chatted with Salman for about half-an-hour. It was courageous for her to leave her hero SRK to meet his biggest rival, knowing that even after the 'truce' between the two Khans all is not fine between the two. Even director Farah Khan, who is a good friend of Salman's, refrained from meeting Salman as her hero SRK was on the set.

It seems Salman and Deepika have great admiration for each other. While Deepika has expressed a desire to work with Salman many times and will act opposite him in Sooraj Bharjatya's Bade Bhaiya, Salman too has been praising her a lot.

'Kamya should be evicted next from Bigg Boss'

The entire nation is aware of what is and what's not happening inside the Bigg Boss house. Be it Kamya- Gauhar's mind games or Tanisha-Armaan's budding love story, every Bigg Boss loyalist is aware about the happenings.

However recently, few non-Bigg Boss inmates visited the house for a task.

Accordingly, Andy's mother too visited the house and met the inmates. TOI asked her about the next eviction on Bigg Boss and she observes, "I think Kamya should be voted out of the house as she is the most manipulative contestant from the house and plans each and every move of hers. She is playing a game and is not fair at all. She is one of those who instigate other members to fight amongst them."

"So I feel she should be voted out next from the house. Gauhar is the same but sometimes she is good compared to Kamya. They both play a lot of mind games," feels Andy's mother.

Few weeks to go and 9 members are still active in the house. How and when will Bigg Boss show them the door is a 'dekho'.

Blame it on their curvaceous figures, very Indianised look or our unaccustomed eyes but&nbsp;there are some outfits worn by celebs in the West that we think would not suit our <i>desi</i>&nbsp;divas. Be it Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra or Kareena Kapoor, click further to know a few&nbsp;looks even our Bollywood actors won't be able to pull off.

Rihanna put her toned body at display in a black bralet and a matching skirt with net detailing at the bottom. Although, we salute her confidence to pull off this risque look, we cannot help but make it to the top list of outfits we think any of our B-town beauties cannot be caught dead in.

Miley Cyrus strutted her stuff in this shimmery white swimsuit, white heels and fur jacket. We aren't fans of pop-star Miley's 'twerky' ways, still we can't pinpoint one desi star who would make this attire work on our red carpets. And no, even the exotic Priyanka Chopra won't make the cut.

We wouldn't want to see this disastrous outfit make another public sighting on any event around the globe again. Having said that, we can't even imagine any Indian actor trying to come close to this look.

Talking of bizarre looks, how can one leave Lady Gaga behind? While her over the top hairstyles have been replicated for Halloween parties for sometime now, we bet no Bollywood actress in her right mind will step out looking like this.

Lists have been made of the red carpet sightings for hits and misses at Cannes 2013. While some of our beauties have been regulars on those pages, we doubt anyone will be able to carry of the 'Little Miss Sunflower' look with that ease. A guest at Cannes forces us to rack our brains together to find a suitable Bollywood star wearing that. Hell no is the unanimous reply.

Movie Review: 'Delivery Man'

Story: David is your average, everyday guy who once made some dough on the side as a sperm donor named Starbuck, fathering 533 kids. When 142 of them decide to file a lawsuit to find out the identity of their dad, David is put in a situation he's never been in before.

Review: A meat delivery truck driver by profession, David Wozniak (Vaughn) is as nondescript as they come. Even his pregnant girl, Emma (Smulders) tells him to 'get a life'. His best pal Brett (Pratt) knows that David's a bit of a simpleton with an eccentric streak. Although David knows he is a loser, he is never short of an innocuous scam or two, to invest in some Ponzi scheme to get richer. David gets a shock when a lawyer tells him he is facing a paternity case of this magnitude. But David's shock quickly - and inexplicably - leads him to becoming some kind of benefactor to his anonymous kids. He goes about tracking them to prove to Emma and himself that he can handle fatherhood.

While this aims to be a feel-good movie, it also serves up mountains of mush. Vaughn does seem to do his damndest to inject some pathos into his character, which does at times elicit empathy and even sympathy. But playing the pitiful pater familias isn't all there is to it. Only his buddy Brett manages to emerge as a persistent voice of reason as well as his legal means of recourse.

Additionally, the subplot of David being in debt to the tune of $100,000 has no bearing on the movie other than to influence some legal decisions. Emma is the only female character of any significance. She seems to be out of his league, but like a true underdog slugger, he won't give up to prove his love, which among other things has him bringing her greasy cheeseburgers and stolen sunflowers.

Based on 2011's movie, Starbuck, this is Vaughn's vehicle all the way. All said and done, the movie has its heart in the right place.

Kareena teases Ranbir about Katrina

One of the most awaited episodes of this season's 'Koffee With Karan' is most definitely the one with star cousins Kareena Kapoor and brother Ranbir Kapoor.

As we all wait with baited breath to see the never-seen-before chemistry between the two, we get a whiff of Bebo teasing her baby brother with girlfriend Katrina Kaif on the show.

According to a Hindustan Times news report, Kareena teases Ranbir with Katrina and even mentions that she has a lehenga ready for his wedding. Not just that, Bebo goes a step further and reportedly tells Ranbir that she has been rehearsing on 'Sheila Ki Jawani' and 'Chikni Chameli'.

Although Ranbir and Katrina have been spotted together many a times, not to forget the scandalous images released during their holiday in Spain, the two haven't publicly admitted to their relationship so far. This episode of ' Koffee With Karan' will surely open some new doors into another series of tabloid fun!

Shahid Kapoor's father - villain for Kareena?

It seems like 'Shuddhi' will not be an easy experience for Kareena Kapoor Khan.

While the pretty actress will star opposite her alleged ex-flame Hrithik Roshan in the film, if rumours are to be believed Pankaj Kapur will also be a part of the film.

Since Pankaj Kapur is Kareena Kapoor's ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor's father, it needs to be seen how comfortable she is work with the senior actor. Kareena has earlier shared screen with Pankaj Kapur in Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon but at that time she was in a relationship with Shahid.

A report in India Today says Pankaj will be playing a villainous character in the film. He is very excited about his role and feels that it is something that he has never done before.

SRK's marketing skills inspires Shreyas Talpade

Marathi film 'Poshter Boyz', produced by Shreyas Talpade's home production, will see veteran actor Dilip Prabhavalkar acting in this comedy film.

At a recent press conference, the actor spoke about venturing into production and how he sees it as a great step in his career.

While talking about donning the hat of a producer, he said he took inspiration from Shah Rukh Khan. "He has been a good inspiration in my life not as an actor but also as a producer. I have seen him the kind of work he did while promoting Om Shanti Om. It was kind of a text book for me in terms of marketing etc, at time. So yes, as far as production goes there will be some impressions of what SRK does to make sure his films are successful at the box office."

But neither of the team earns any point as the captain said that since everyone was shouting during the task, she couldn't hear the count and also couldn't keep a track of the time. Next task they give it to Sangram with a hoola -hoop. Sangram agrees to do the task, but fails, which earns the Hukumat team a point.

Initially they agree, but realize that the Virodhi team is on purpose taking too long, further they oppose saying that they are wasting too much time. The Hukumat team then decides to boycott the task and say that the captain is being unfair to them and is biased to the Virodhi team. The Virodhi team becomes successful in their strategy of wasting the Hukumat team's time.

'Want world premiere of 'Kamasutra 3D' in Cannes'

Filmmaker Rupesh Paul hopes to have the world premiere of his upcoming film 'Kamasutra 3D' at the Cannes Film Festival next year as the movie has already got a great response at the market section this year at the fest.

The Sherlyn Chopra-starrer created a record of pre-sale at Cannes 2013 and Paul feels it is befitting to have a premiere there as Indian cinema is being accepted well by the international audience.

"I am already preparing to send the film for Cannes and Berlin. The selection will be purely on merit and I am hoping we will make it. India was the guest country at Cannes this year and people are taking Indian cinema very seriously for the last four years.

"Directors like Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Bannerjee got a lot of visibility in Cannes. So, I am wishing for a premiere there but if it does not happen then we will just release the film here," Paul told PTI in an interview.

The last date for submission of films for the 67th edition of the Cannes Film Festival is March 16 next year.

'Kamasutra 3D' will be in Hindi and English. It is based on Vatsayana Kamasutra, an ancient Hindu text in Sanskrit literature. The movie is set in the backdrop of the real historical milieu.

Kerala-based filmmaker Paul, who has earlier directed Malayam films like 'Laptop', 'Pithavum Kanyakayum', said considering the strict censorship of films in India, he has prepared two versions of 'Kamasutra 3D'.

"We will release two versions of the film - an Indian version, which is a very mellowed down version and another for the rest of the world. We are looking for distributors here.

Other than India we have sold the distributions rights in almost every Asian country, Europe and the US," Paul said on the sidelines of IFFI, where the first trailer of his film was launched.

Bigg Boss: Armaan stunned as Tanisha yells at him

Today's the day for role reversals and all the members of the Virodhi team are looking forward to giving tasks to the Hukumat team.

Taking the game sportingly, Ajaz challenges the opposing team to go ahead and present difficult tasks for them, to which Gauahar tells him that she will ensure it is the worst task day for him. Ajaz agrees to even do the push-ups and weight-lifting tasks. Kamya butts in saying that their team will not target the injured contestants like Andy and Tanisha targeted Armaan.

Andy plots with the team that together they would waste time and utilize this strategy to win the task. The team agrees with his strategy because the task rules do not put a time limit. Only with the intension to tease, Kushal tells Sangram that he will make him dance to an item number to which Sangram immediately responds that he will not do it.

Once the task begins, the new Hukumat team steps into the store room to strategize the first task. Ajaz runs behind them and overhears that the first task is being planned for him. In order to avoid the task, Ajaz rushes to the washroom and locks himself inside.

The Hukumat team, however, changes their strategy and give the first task for the day to Andy. He is asked to carry out 50 push-ups while doing a handstand. Hearing the task, Andy tells the Hukumat team that the task is impossible and that he, along with his team, will discuss this task with the captain. Andy then calls his team members and asks them to waste time. Realizing that this is their strategy Gauahar complains about this and picks fights with the opposing team for wasting time. In the heat of the moment, Armaan yells at Tanishaa and she yells right back at him. Hearing this, Armaan gets shocked, but Gauahar calms him down. Finally, Andy gets ready to perform the task. However, once he starts, the overall situation gets very noisy. Because of this, Sofia intervenes as captain and decides to not award any points to either of the two teams.

The next task is assigned to Ajaz and he is told to shave his head within a span of 5 minutes. Ajaz refuses to do the task and as per the team's strategy, starts wasting time again. Sofia intervenes once more and tells him that since the task is not impossible, he will be required to do it if he wishes to earn a point for his team. However, Ajaz blatantly refuses to shave his head and the Hukumat team wins a point.

Later in the day, as Sofia gives the teams a washroom break, the Hukumat team professes their anger. They complain to Bigg Boss that their captain, i.e. Sofia is unfair and that they immediately wish to elect a new captain, without which they will not continue the task. The Virodhi team goes to the washroom for their break and wastes more than an hour there. Seeing how everything is moving, the Hukumat team decides to boycott not only the captain, but also the task on a whole.

The stomp into the living room while expressing their frustration towards the opposing team. They also decide that they will not make food for the housemates on that day. Seeing the heated situation, the Virodhi team keeps out of it all and remain calm. However, after some time, Ajaz gets aggravated because they pass some personal comments about him. The rest of the team calms him down and asks him to take his revenge later.

As the luxury budget task comes to an end, Andy's team is declared the winner. Hearing the good news, Sofia does a quick victory dance.

As the day draws to a close, Ajaz speaks out about him feelings. He says that the Bigg Boss house and his fellow contestants have taught him a lot of lessons about life. He goes on to say that Kushal and Gauahar have hurt him and he will ensure that he gets his revenge before he leaves the house.

Will Ajaz change his mind? Will the contestants learn to live amicably? Only time will tell.

'No one man enough in Bigg Boss 7'

Shraddha Sharma, who participated in the fifth season of "Bigg Boss", feels that everyone in the current season of the reality show is diplomatic and no one ever takes a stand.

"Our 'Bigg Boss' definitely was much better. This time I don't find anyone man enough. Everyone is so diplomatic, be it Armaan Kohli or VJ Andy. No one takes a stand. All of them shift loyalties. Nobody's stand is clear," Shraddha said in an interview here while talking about the contestants in "Bigg Boss - Saath 7".

"You must have seen that when I was in 'Bigg Boss', I always had a clear stand despite the fact whether I was nominated or not. But this time all of them change loyalties and don't stand up for their friends," she added.

Asked who she wants to win the show, Shraddha named ace wrestler Sangram Singh.

"Sangram is a good friend and I would like to see him win. Sangram is a simple human being. He is not diplomatic like others. He is closer to me than Payal (Sangram's girlfriend Payal Rohatgi) is to me. I would definitely want him to win," she said.

The show, which airs on Colors channel, sees Gauhar Khan, Kushal Tandon, Tanisha Mukherjee, Armaan, Sangram, Andy, Kamya Punjabi, Ajaz Khan and Sofia Hayat fighting for the title.

'My role in Lootera was cut short'

Actor Adil Hussain says his role of a police inspector in 'Lootera' was very significant when he signed on for it, but was taken aback to see that it did not reflect in the final cut of the film.

The Vikramatditya Motwane-directed film starred Sonakshi Sinha and Ranveer Singh in the lead role.

"My role was much bigger. When I got the script, my character had many shades. Visually also I was there on the script. And that's the reason I said yes to the role. Not just because of the screen presence but also the fact that I could explore a lot with my character."

"But in the process of editing, which is the director's prerogative, he chose to cut those out. I was a bit taken aback," Adil told in an interview.

However, the 50-year-old 'English Vinglish' actor said he respects the decision of the director, who according to him is the "supreme boss" and has the final say in a film.

" I did feel a bit awkward. I was like 'Oh those were beautiful scenes, Why aren't they there? But then it is not my decision. It is the director's! He is the supreme boss. I might disagree with it. But it is his film, it's not my film. I have one microscopic presence in the film," he said

When asked if he would be careful in the future when signing films, Adil said if he did that, he would become a dictator.

"You cannot dictate the term on anybody unless you become a dictator, which I don't want to become in any means. Film is a director's medium. How much screen presence one person will have, would depend upon his vision. Once you submit to directors you should not back out," Adil said.

Navin Prabhakar as Gutthi on Comedy Nights..?

The fall-out between the makers of 'Comedy Nights with Kapil' and Sunil Grover aka Gutthi is all over the media these days.

And with Sunil Grover's decision of not returning to the show, things seem to have become worse for the show. Sunil Grover's exit has also made a way for a new actor to play the character of Gutthi.

Several names including Raju Shrivastav being approached to do the role is doing the rounds and the latest we hear is that Pehchaan Kaun fame Navin Prabhakar is also in talks with the makers to play the role of Gutthi.

Sources inform that the production house and the channel have been auditioning many comic actors to play the funny Gutthi. They have now approached comic actor Navin Prabhakar who was last seen in Bollywood film Phata Poster Nikla Hero.

When contacted, Navin Prabhakar said, "Yes, it's true I have been approached to play Gutthi. But I am not sure if I will be able to take the offer as I have many live shows and couple of movies lined up".

When asked, if he would like to play the role, Navin said, "Why not, I would love to play the role but I feel 'Gutthi' has become an iconic character and it will be difficult to recreate the same magic. Just like nobody can recreate 'Gabbar' from Sholay or 'Shaakaal' from Shaan. If I will do it, I will bring my own comic elements to the character and do it in my own style rather than simply copying it."

Bigg Boss: Armaan gets grilled in the Sun

The Bigg Boss contestants, especially this season, have been very rebellious.

Keeping this in mind, Bigg Boss introduced this week's luxury budget task - 'Kabhi Haan, Kabhi Naa' where he placed the power to decide daily tasks in the hands of the contestants. For the duration of the task, the Bigg Boss housemates have been divided into two teams - the Hukumat team comprising of Ajaz, Andy, Sangram, Sofia and Tanisha, and the Virodhi team comprising of Armaan, Gauahar, Kamya and Kushal.

As a part of the task, the 'Hukumat' team has to give the 'Virodhi' team various tasks throughout the day, to which if the 'Virodhi' team say 'No', then the 'Hukumat' team will earn a point. The first person from the 'Virodhi' team to be asked to perform a task is Armaan. He is asked to hand-stand in the sun for half an hour. However, the Virodhi team refuses to do it claiming that the task is impossible to achieve. After considering their perspective, the Hukumat team agrees to reduce the time limit to 12 minutes. Armaan agrees to participate in the task, but fails to complete it.

The next task is given to Kamya, wherein she is asked to eat 5 karelas in 15 minutes, wearing a monkey suit which she promptly agrees to complete. However, after eating 2 karelas, Kamya is unable to eat any more and fails at completing the task. Next Kushal and Armaan were asked to balance themselves in the push-up position for 10 minutes. But, after balancing for about 2 mins, Armaan gives up owing to pain in his hands. In between the task, both the teams were seen arguing with each other over the possibility of completing the tasks being assigned to them.

Will the contestants learn exactly how tough the Bigg Boss game is?

'Child sex on Goa beaches for Rs.50'

Child sex is being offered for Rs.50 on Goa's beaches, Pramod Salgaocar, producer of film " Baga Beach", claimed Tuesday.

Salgaocar, whose film is based on the ills of Goa's tourism industry, said she once got a complaint from a Hungarian tourist, who was reportedly offered child sex for Rs.50.

"Today you don't even get chicken for Rs.50," Salgaocar told a press conference, quoting the complainant.

Goa gave India's first conviction in a paedophilia case involving Freddy Peats, a German who was sentenced to life for abusing scores of children in the 1980s.

Child abuse in Goa is one of the elements explored in Laxmikant Shetgaonkar directed "Baga beach", along with other aspects which make up tor the underbelly of tourism in this state.

"Every day four children are abused in Goa. These are government statistics," Shetgaonkar said.

Flattered to be compared with Katrina: Elli

Mickey Virus actress and Bigg Boss 7 contestant Elli Avram caught everyone's attention since the time she entered the Bigg Boss house, thanks to her resemblance to Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif.

And in no time she became the host of Bigg Boss, Salman Khan's favorite, who also often compared Elli Avram to Katrina Kaif. Flattered by the comparisons, the actress says, that Katrina is her idol and there can be no other Katrina Kaif.

"Katrina Kaif is such a big superstar and I feel honored to be compared to her. She is my idol and has been my inspiration. I was flattered when Salmanji compared me to her. It was really cute of him to say that I look like Katrina but I haven't taken the compliment very seriously. She is 'The Katrina Kaif' and I think there can be no other Katrina Kaif in Bollywood. She's already a star and I am just a beginner," said the actress after getting eliminated from the Bigg Boss house.

It will be interesting to see if the Dabangg Khan's soft corner for the Swedish beauty Elli fetches her a good role in the next Salman starrer.

Balika Vadhu's Sidharth Shukla goes missing?

'Balika Vadhu' lead actor Sidharth Shukla, who rose to popularity due to his stint in 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa', has apparently gone missing and his family has no idea about his whereabouts.

A Mid-Day report says that the TV actor has gone missing since Saturday and has not reported on the sets since last two days. The report further says that his parents have also called him several times but have not been able to speak to him.

It is said that when the production house discovered that Sidharth hasn't reported for the shoot, they called his family. However, his mother informed them that she was also unaware of his whereabouts and he has not been taking her calls either.

His absence led to the shoot being canceled. Incidentally, the soap is currently running a track where his character cuts himself off from his family after being discovered that he is adopted. This has also raised several eyebrows as to is this a genuine missing case or a publicity stunt?

Bigg Boss: No food for 24 hours

Every contestant who has ever been a part of Bigg Boss is aware about the importance of adhering to the rules of the Bigg Boss house.

However, even after knowing this, the housemates have time and again broken the rules in spite of receiving multiple warnings from Bigg Boss. After realizing that warning and reminders were falling on deaf ears, Bigg Boss decides to take some extreme measures and announces that as part of their punishment for breaking the rules, the kitchen will be closed for 24 hours.

Bigg Boss reminds the contestants that they have been conversing in English even after the language has been forbidden. He points out that amongst the ones who have been found flouting the rules regularly include Tanisha and Armaan, and even Gauahar and Kushal who speak to other in English after the lights are turned off and the mikes have been taken off. Bigg Boss further adds that the inmates have been discussing the nominations, something which is strictly against the rules of the game!

Bigg Boss announces that while he has been very liberal thus far, and given the contestants and opportunity mend their ways, the fact that they have not taken him seriously, has urged him to take the decision to keep the kitchen closed for 24 hours.

Well, what can we say, Jaisi karni, waisi bharni!!

'Big B', '3 Idiots' iconic in Japan too: Japanese director

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Rajkumar Hirani's '3 Idiots' are not just popular icons in India, but in Japan too, says Korean-born Japanese filmmaker Lee Sang-il.

Lee, best known for directing 'Hula Girls' in 2006, is showcasing his film 'Unforgiven' at a film festival, which features Japanese films.

The director, who makes films on Korean settlers in Japan, said that he is a huge fan of the Big B and the 2009 blockbuster '3 Idiots', starring Aamir Khan.

"It's my first time in India and I feel great to be a part of this film festival. I can say that Amitabh Bachchan and the film '3 Idiots' are very popular in Japan as well," Lee said during an interactive session.

12 new Japanese films made in the last three years are being screened at the ongoing festival.

Lee also pointed out to a unique trait in the Japanese film market, where he said it was not the director who approached producers with projects. It is actually directors who are selected as per the requirements of the project, he said.

Filmmaker Kiyoshi Kurosawa, whose film 'Real' was also screened at the festival also expressed his admiration for Guru Dutt and Satyajit Ray films and said he is a great fan of these cinematic geniuses.

My film doesn't require censorship: Sunny Leone

The censor board has axed "Eggjactly" from being used in Sunny Leone starrer "Jackpot". However the Indo-Canadian adult film star says it is a family film and doesn't "require censorship".

The 32-year-old, who has shot some bold scenes for the movie, admits that it's censor board's job to see what's suitable for young adults to watch.

At the same time, she feels that "Jackpot" "is not an A-certificate movie. So, they have to be really careful on what the subject matter is."

"But I don't think there is anything in the movie that requires censorship. It's a very nice family movie that everyone can watch," added the actress who entered Bollywood with erotic thriller "Jism 2".

She was speaking at the music launch of the film Saturday.

Meanwhile, director Kaizad Gustad is upset with the censor board for banning "Eggjactly", by Javed Jaffrey.

"It's unnecessary. I don't understand why the song has been banned - it's funny and there is humour in it. It is not anything personal it is about the whole country. He (Javed) has not attacked any one person," Gustad said.

"The censor board should have some sense of humour. It's just a funny song and he has not offended anybody. He has been very careful to avoid personal attacks," Gustad added.

The film's actor-producer Sachiin Joshi feels he is being targeted.

"I seriously think it's somebody's ploy against me and I am being targeted," he said reacting to the ban on the song.

"Jackpot" has been shot in Goa and also stars Naseeruddin Shah. It hits theatres Dec 13.

Raju Srivastava to play Gutthi on Kapil's show?

If sources are to be believed, in all probability, Raju Srivastava will play Gutthi in the satirical show 'Comedy Nights With Kapil'.

After Sunil Grover's exit from the show, speculations were doing the rounds on who will be the next Gutthi on the show and in all probability it will be Raju Srivastava entertaining the audience with his one-liners.

As per our source, "Raju ji has been approached by the Colors channel to play Gutthi on the show and he is keen on accepting the offer as he shares good rapport with Kapil, since both were part of another comedy reality series The Great Indian Laughter Challenge together. He has also been approached for a new comedy show on Star Plus but he is in favour of Kapil's show."

Raju Srivastava has been entertaining the audience since long. Perhaps he can be the best choice to recreate the charm of Gutthi on show again and add some more humour with his signature comic style.

Payal Rohatgi not approached for Bigg Boss 7

It was reported that the contestants of Bigg Boss 7 will see entry of ex Bigg Boss contestant Payal Rohatgi in the house.

But when we contacted Payal she was in shock to hear the news and expressed, "Jitna ho sake toh dur rahu .. mera naam zabardasti daal rahe hai pata nahi kyu.. I haven't received any call from the production house of Bigg Boss and hence how is it possible that I can make an entry in the Bigg Boss house. People are just trying to give wrong information. In fact I was in Ahmedabad last week to be with my family. My dadaji expired last week and had to attend his last rites. I was very close to my dadaji it is sad that he is no more. I haven't been able to communicate the news to Sangram also .. usko pata chalega dadaji ka khabar toh woh bahut tut jaayega.. Sangram ke wajah se hi mere papa aur dadaji five months pehle Delhi se Ahmedabad aaye. It was because of Sangram that my parents got reunited after so many years. Sangram will be very shocked to hear dadaji's death news."

She continues, " I have been offered to do a show on the New Years eve at Dubai and have agreed to do so."

According to media reports, the makers of 'The Bachelorette India' have shown interest in getting the queen bee of the small screen on their show. While the production house tries every trick in its book to cajole Ekta, we think what she really needs are some options for her prospective grooms. Here are a few dulhas we think that can try their luck at winning this dulhaniya's hand.

According to media reports, the makers of 'The Bachelorette India' have shown interest in getting the queen bee of the small screen on their show. While the production house tries every trick in its book to cajole Ekta, we think what she really needs are some options for her prospective grooms. Here are a few dulhas we think that can try their luck at winning this dulhaniya's hand.

Karan Johar- Karan Johar can be a perfect choice for Ekta for a variety of reasons. He is a successful producer and like Ekta, almost everything he touches turns into gold. Blessed with a brilliant dressing sense, Karan also fills in the void in Ekta's oh-so-lazy wardrobe. An automatic upgradation to becoming 'best buddies' of Shah Rukh Khan, the Bachchan and half the industry is an added advantage.

Uday Chopra- As the youngest member of one of the most influential families of Bollywood,Uday Chopra is used to his family members working really hard for him. Being a workaholic,&nbsp;Ekta Kapoor fits the bill completely. If the proposal is accepted, get ready to see beautiful actresses draped in chiffon sarees weeping their hearts out in the middle of Switzerland!

Salman Khan- There's only one match for Ekta's authoritative personality and its none other&nbsp;than India's hottest bachelor- Salman Khan. Currently dominating television with his histrionics as the host of Bigg Boss, teekhi mirchi Ekta will find a fierce competitor in prospective husband Salman. Their common enemy (read Shah Rukh Khan) can also be a great way to bond.

Armaan Kohli- He may be romancing Tanisha Mukherjee in the Bigg Boss house, but Armaan Kohli can also be a strong contendor to win Ekta's heart. A former Bollywood actor, Armaan might get help from Ekta to make a second innings with his acting career in a Balaji show if their relationship materializes.

Kapil Sharma- While a few men might be benefitted with Ekta Kapoor by their side, we think with this suitor, the lady herself can get some relief. After a hard day's work who wouldn't want to come back to a man who'll make her laugh? The king of comedy with the queen of drama, we are rolling on the floor laughing just imagining the characters in this house!

Kamya Punjabi is putting up a fake face: Elli

Swedish-Greek actress Elli Avram admits to being the weakest among all the contestants this season in reality show "Bigg Boss" but says she would have loved to celebrate X-mas in the "Bigg Boss" house.

Elli is the latest to get evicted from "Bigg Boss - Saath 7" house.

Although the 23-year-old, seen as a cheerful and pleasant personality inside the house, was prepared for the eviction, she is little disappointed after being eliminated.

"I am a bit sad because I didn't want to get evicted. I wanted to stay a bit longer. It would have been fun to stay in the 'Bigg Boss' house till Christmas. After all it's a one time experience," Elli, who made her Bollywood debut with " Mickey Virus" told IANS on phone from Mumbai.

"I was prepared for the eviction. I was thinking that as compared to the other contestants, I was the weakest," added the actress who celebrated Diwali inside the house.

Elli has come out with good memories.

"I really enjoyed staying in there, even when I was feeling low and confused. When I entered the house, I had no strategy in mind. I just wanted to be myself and have fun," she said.

In the show, Ellie enjoyed a good camaraderie with fellow inmates VJ Andy and Sangram Singh.

Asked, who is being fair in the game, the actress was quick to answer: "I think it is Sangramji" and added: "I think Kamya Punjabi is putting up a fake face."

When "Mickey Virus" came out, Ellie was inside the house, but says she would often imagine people's reaction. But her co-star Manish Paul's visit was motivating for her.

"I was imagining that all of them would be sitting and watching the movie and what would be the excitement! I was very happy when Manish Paul came inside the house to meet me. He said, 'Elli you are doing this very good.' This made me realise that everyone is happy.

"But obviously, I was little sad that I wasn't out there with everyone," said Elli.

After "Bigg Boss", she wants to focus on her acting career and says that she would love to work with Salman Khan, who is also the host of the game show.

"He (Salman) is a huge star and a great actor. It would be a great honour to work with him. I think, everyone wants to do a movie with Salman Khan," she said.

"I would like to do different kinds of roles in future -- from a girl-next-door to a Lara Croft," she added.

Currently Gauhar Khan, Kushal Tandon, Tanisha Mukherjee, Armaan Kohli, Sangram, Andy, Kamya, Ajaz Khan and Sofia Hayat are vying to win the show in the " Bigg Boss 7" house that comes on Colors channel.

Ranveer spends 2 lakhs on dinner with Deepika?

The team of Ram Leela seems to be basking in the film's success. Actor Ranveer Singh was spotted with alleged girl friend Deepika Padukone, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and choreographer turned film producer Shabina Khan.

According to a report in Mid-Day, the team was celebrating Ram Leela's success at the Box Office by dining out at a restaurant in a south Mumbai five star hotel. As the food and drinks flowed, Ranveer apparently decided to be generous and foot the bill which summed up to an alleged amount of Rs 2 lakhs.

Further to the report in Mid-Day, a source informs that Sanjay Leela Bhansali wanted to take Deepika and Ranveer out for dinner before Ranveer headed out of the country for the shoot of his next film Gunday. But as the team enjoyed a five course meal with drinks, Ranveer is said to have insisted on paying the bill as Ram Leela was a special film for him.

Shruti Haasan files FIR against stalker

A few days back, a fan of Shruti Haasan managed to come up to the door of her flat. While Shruti was able to save herself, the scary incident has shaken her up. Three days after the incident, she finally summed up the courage to file an FIR on Wednesday at Bandra police station.

She speaks for the first time exclusively to TOI about her nasty experience: "This man landed up at my place at 9.45 am on November 19. He came up to the flat and tried to enter in. He stuck his hand in, but I managed to close the door on his wrist. He pulled his hand out and once I saw him running down, I ran down after him with the hope that I might get the drivers or the building security to be able to stop him. I went over to my friend's place, but realised that he had come there, too. I had been seeing his face on my movie set for many days and now have images of him. I realised that he had been following me everywhere and knew all the places I went to. I was totally freaked out. It took me time to re-surface and sum up the courage to file an FIR that I have finally done on Wednesday. I also hope to get back to shooting in a few days' time."

Marriage is an old fashioned concept: Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan is at the International Film Festival of India to accept a Lifetime Achievement, but the father of two has more pressing matters on his mind. His elder daughter Shruti was recently attacked by a stalker while his younger daughter Akshara is set to make her film debut. When TOI caught up with the actor director,he was in a pensive yet candid mood. Excerpts:

After the recent incident, are you anxious about Shruti's safety?
Shruti has always been a brave girl who has gone through a lot. It is not easy when you have to deal with your parents' separation. She has seen a broken marriage at home, and for better or worse, that has taught her a lot. Yes I'm worried for her, like any other father would be and have asked her to be safe.

Your younger daughter Akshara is making her debut opposite Dhanush in Balki's film...
Well, we are a film family, and I like the fact that we are constantly extending and becoming prolific. I'm very happy for Akshara.

How involved are you in their careers?
Not really. We do talk about who is doing what, but I'm not the kind of father who is constantly advising his children on what to do. I will admit that I've had more conversations with Shruti on films as compared to Akshara. Eventually, they are the ones responsible for their decisions.

Coming back to IFFI, you have been a regular....How has the festival grown?
Yes, but very slowly. As a film enthusiast I would like to see more activities,and not only in terms of the selection of films which has consistently improved but also in the quality of workshops, master classes and how the entire festival comes together. The government, which runs the festival, should do more for cinema and its infrastructure.

Can you be more specific?
Take Hollywood for example. It grew because of market expansion and a conscious effort by the filmmaking fraternity to package their films cleverly. We don't get 'inspired' by their style of film-making, we mimic it and the end result is a bad photocopy.

You've finished the sequel to Vishwaroopam. Is the scale bigger?
The scale is much grander and more expensive! My character will evolve as more layers peel off. The backdrop is intriguing with bigger challenges faced by the protagonist.

Vishwaroopam was caught in a major controversy during its release. Aren't you worried for the sequel?
That was an engineered controversy and not something that erupted naturally.

Who was it engineered by?
It doesn't matter now. We aren't expecting any trouble with the sequel, and that's a relief .

In an interview to TOI, your ex-wife Sarika said that marriage is a beautiful concept. Do you share her views?
Absolutely not. Marriage is an old fashioned concept. It's a legal contract that almost forces you to stay with someone. I think if you genuinely love somebody, you don't need a piece of paper for validation.

So you have never given remarriage a thought?
As of now, I'm very happy and comfortable with my life.

Won't do a film only because it has Deepika: Ranveer

Page 1 of 5

Ranveer Singh is more relieved than elated with all the appreciation he has received as Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram. He has tasted what he always heard is the effect of a good Friday on an actor, as he is flooded with offers. But what has given him a high is a hand-written note from his idol Amitabh Bachchan. He talks to TOI about the role of Ram-Leela in his life. Excerpts:

What has the success of Ram-Leela meant for you? Fortunately, I had a good first step with 'Band Baaja Baaraat'. But I understand that 'Ram-Leela' is a giant leap forward. It comes with the way the world perceives it, where performance is one aspect, but it also has to do with the numbers. The numbers give me a commercial standing that will empower me to make braver decisions. There is no feeling of great elation. It's more relief on many levels. I have put so much into this movie and the stakes are kind of high due to the stature of the director, because of the budget of the film and because of the stage in my career at which this has come. This film is the coming together of all the films I have done so far and has the vulnerability and intensity of my character in 'Lootera', the chuttapan of the character in 'Band Baaja Baaraat' and the sexiness of the character in 'Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl'. The opportunity to work in 'Ram-Leela' was fantastic as it allowed me to do the romance, the comedy, the song-and-dance, the action, the drama and show my vulnerability, anger and intensity, all in one film.

You are an uninhibited performer. Are you also like that in real life? The first thing they make you do in an acting class is a 'lose your inhibition' exercise. In order to act, you have to shed your inhibitions. But, what do you do with a person who is already uninhibited? In my case, I was always like this ever since I was a kid. I was never ashamed of anything and was always confident of myself. I was a besharam, hamesha se.

Did that get you into trouble? Yes, all the time in school. The school (Learners Academy) authorities would want some discipline that I would never adhere to because of this nature of mine. I used to get suspended and my mom was called every week to the office. She used to weep thinking why I was so badly behaved. There was a policy that teachers were not allowed to hit the kids, but there was one head teacher who would not adhere to that and would hit me. I was not 'a' goonda. I was 'the' goonda in school. My mother has always just been affectionate and doting.

What really used to hurt her was when other mothers would complain in a PTA meeting saying that I was spoiling all other kids, as she could empathise with other mothers. She would weep and that would make me feel really bad. I would feel sorry, but then again I would go and do the same things next week. I always had a need to create some havoc and khap. I have become more mature now and think have got my share of karma for all the kids I have troubled in school through all my ups and downs in life.

Your performance in Ram-Leela has been much appreciated. Any special appreciation you received? I got a hand-written note from Mr Bachchan praising me for my performance. The letter was hand-written and personal. It came with a bouquet and felt better than getting any award. He said that I had immersed myself into my character and that it was a sincere performance. It was an amazing feeling as he is the one, whose films I grew up watching and he is the one watching whom, I wanted to become an actor in the first place. I have given the letter to my mum to put in the safe. My achievement is that my idol recognises my work and it means the world to me.

So far what has been your highest point as an actor? When Mr Bhansali selected me. That was validation to me that a director who only works with the best actors, has selected me and the fact that he saw something in me and has faith that I have the potential to deliver to his level.

What is Sanjay Leela Bhansali like?

Well, to start with, he is mad, but in the best way possible. What is special about him is that he is an exceptionally hypersensitive human being. Even if he is 20 feet away on the set and you are having a conversation that is not film-related, he will sense that, his ears will pick it up. He can be with you and in less than five seconds, he can figure out how you are feeling by just sharing space with you. His insight into human nature, his perceptiveness, understanding of emotion is unlike any other person I have met. His film set is sacred and you better not be doing what you are not supposed to. I was an exception to all 200 people on the set (Deepika included), as a person who was spoilt by him. I was treated like a king and was given whatever I wanted, to help me perform. He spoils you and you enjoy it. He wants you to feel happy, liberated, confident and convinced so that you can perform. He is a master for me and there is no director like him.

Do you feel attached to any of your directors? I am very attached to 'Lootera' director Vikramaditya Motwane, who is like an elder brother to me. He is honest, sincere and righteous. I could open up wholeheartedly to him and I did. There are things I tell only him and can trust him completely. Somewhere I feel he is too good for the corruption that surrounds him. I know he cares for me and wants the best for me.

Any director you aspire to work with? I hope one day I do an Adi Chopra movie. I want to be directed by Adi sir. He is amazing. It's like he has two separate brains. He has a creative mind and a business mind. And he is able wear both hats, unlike anyone else that I have come across. I am sure he enjoys the business side as well, but you can see how much more he enjoys the creative side.

Have Deepika and you been offered films together? There were offers after the first trailer itself.

You are an uninhibited performer. Are you also like that in real life? The first thing they make you do in an acting class is a 'lose your inhibition' exercise. In order to act, you have to shed your inhibitions. But, what do you do with a person who is already uninhibited? In my case, I was always like this ever since I was a kid.

Given that you have said that Deepika is your favourite co-star, do you look forward to being cast with her again? Ya, fully. But I am not going to try and bring it about. If it happens organically, it's good. I also won't do a film only because it has Deepika and me.

'Kareena told me it’s important to look good in B'wood'

Page 1 of 4

Saif Ali Khan says it like it is. Sometimes, at the risk of sounding politically incorrect. When he visited the TOI office on Thursday, he spoke candidly on actresses he looks good with on screen, his upcoming film 'Bullett Raja', why a pairing with wife Kareena hasn't worked and more. Excerpts...

Is Bullett Raja based on a real-life character?
My character Raja Mishra is based on many real-life characters. Bullett Raja is not a biopic of this one Robin Hood-type guy. Fact is stranger than fiction in UP (where the film is based). Every second person is a Raja Mishra there.

Have you worked on your body for this film?
Kareena told me that in Bollywood it's most important to look good. Your acting ability can be secondary. It is a visual medium and certain heroic roles we get offered require you to look like you are capable of doing these massively dramatic things.

You look polished, while Sonakshi Sinha has a desi look in the film. Do you think that contrast works?
I guess contrast always works. I remember Aditya Chopra saying about Rani Mukerji and me, that is what works on screen. In this film, it is not about our chemistry. It is a film about friends, about two guys... it is a revenge story.

What do you think about Sonakshi as an actress?
It's roles like Lootera that distinguish actors and Sonakshi has surely proven herself with that. I get the feeling that I went to school with her or something, that I have known her forever; maybe because she is Shatruji's daughter. Sonakshi is very good at what she does. I'd like to see her to do something now that surprises people.

Have your looks ever been a hindrance in terms of the roles you get?
Nobody has ever asked me this! I've always wanted to be among the good looking people... doors open for them in a different way. But I never was. I have grown into some kind of an acceptable and attractive personality on screen. It has happened very recently, which is lucky because people who are good looking at 16, sometimes pack up... if not at 30, then certainly at 40.

Page 2 of 4

But you were always considered good-looking...
I don't think so. I was described as this gawky guy who looked more like his mother.

But then that is a compliment, your mother (Sharmila Tagore) is so beautiful...
I think they meant, 'He looks like a girl (laughs)'.

Your pairing with Kareena hasn't really clicked. Do you feel real life couples don't make for great onscreen couples?
Yes, I do feel that... at least speaking for myself. I am not an actor down to my toe-nails. I wouldn't act with my mother either, because she knows who I am. When you work with a stranger, there is little more energy involved... you try and be charming, they don't know you, there is a bit of mystery, you smile, they weren't expecting that smile... then things happen. I feel a lack of tension working with Kareena. There is comfort, predictability, there is no surprise element. I've lost out on working with a great actor as a result.

Having said that, you haven't seen us together at our best either, which is a bit unfair. The films we have done, for instance, Agent Vinod starts off well, but then disintegrates.... Sriram (Raghavan, the director) tried to do too much. Kurbaan, on the other hand, was a little dry. So now, both of us are happier working with other people. It's funny... sometimes, you don't like a person and you still look great on screen with that person. And, sometimes you really like a person and it looks rubbish onscreen. It has happened to me very often. It would be rude to say who (smiles). Discomfort is the binding factor of film; comfort is the enemy of cinema.

Article continues

Page 3 of 4

Who do you think you look best with?
I liked how Miss Kaif (Katrina) and I looked in 'Race'. Otherwise, I think I have looked good with Indian looking girls like Kajol, Rani, Preity... now, maybe Ileana. I liked working with Tamannaah. We did a song in 'Humshakals' and I haven't done that kind of song in ages. She is pretty and nice. I don't know... some people look nice with some people.

And Deepika?
Of course, Deepika! I am so happy for her recent super success. It is a continuation of the Kajol and Rani mould, except she is much taller! She is also a dusky beauty with Indian looks.

Do you and Kareena discuss work?
Yes, sometimes, until it becomes a bit annoying and then we don't.

On the personal front, do you and Kareena give each other space?
Yeah, lots of space. I don't know if it is marriage or age. After a point, you realise there's more to life than just girls. After marriage, you want to focus on other things like work, house and in that sense, it does help a lot. If you are married to the right person, which I feel lucky that I am, you get time and peace of mind to be able to do other things.

Article continues

Page 4 of 4

What is the mood like now because both of you have releases coming up?
It is busier than it has ever been in terms of shooting. I guess also it is pre-release time and you have got two nervous actors. She is not showing it. I am a little anxious, but I'm aware that she might be anxious as well.

After your dad, the late Tiger Pataudi, you are the man of the house now.
I miss him particularly because nobody can tell my mother what to do anymore. That is the main reason. He was a very nice person apart from anything else. He was definitely man of the house and my mother sometimes says that I am the man of the house, but I don't think she really means it. I think she means, she is the man of the house!

Do the women of the family come to you for advice?
I think they are all quite headstrong and know what they are doing. They all ask, but finally do exactly what they want.

Aamir Khan recently admitted that he was tired of asking his buddy Salman Khan to get married. While we agree with Aamir and would like to see Salman tie the knot, we bring top five potential brides for the superstar. All these pretty ladies share a sizzling chemistry with the actor and enjoy his support. The first that come in our list is Romanian actress Iulia Vantur. She was apparently dating the actor stayed in his house for some time. She was often seen accompanying the actor on the sets and would sport his charity T-shirts to show her loyalty towards him. Though they broke off amicably due to family interference, reports have emerged that the actor might have met her on his visit to Romania.

Though they broke off amicably due to family interference, reports have emerged that the actor might have met her on his visit to Romania.

Swedish-Greek model-actress Ellie Avram seems to be a hot property of the current season of Bigg Boss. Apparently Salman is very fond of her and praised her work in Mickey Virus. Not only did he compare her to his former flame Katrina Kaif, he refers to her as 'meri Ellie' when he talks about her in the company of his close friends and family. Ellie in turn is leaving no stone unturned to charm the superstar. She danced on his number Fevicol Se and crooned songs from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. We can sure see some sparks flying. What about you?

The gorgeous Sana Khan stole many hearts when she came as a contestant in Bigg Boss season 6. She was also favoured by Salman Khan and was often praised by the actor. The show has been her big ticket to Bollywood as she bagged a role with Salman in Jai Ho. Not only did Salman help her by shaping her career in Bollywood, he also supported her when she was embroiled in a controversy surrounding a kidnapping of a 15-year-old girl. Sana's good looks and her bond with Salman makes her a prospective bride for the actor.

Daisy Shah is not only Salman's co-star in Jai Ho but also his very "close" friend. Rumours suggest that the newbie shares a close bond with the actor and both are allegedly often spotted taking long, romantic walks and bicycling around the hills of Lavasa. There were reports that suggest that the superstar had sponsored a cosmetic surgery for the actress. While both Salman and Daisy share a great chemistry onscreen, we believe that she could be a strong contender as the superstar's bride.

Actress Mahek Chahal was also Salman Khan's favourite in Bigg Boss season 5. She was constantly favoured by Salman and was rumoured to be under his protective wings. She managed to escape eviction and even after she was evicted, she returned back as a wild card contestant due to Salman's influence. The pretty actress also made it into the final of that season. Rumours back then suggested that Salman was promoting and guiding her in choosing the right path in Bollywood. So how about Miss Mahek as Salman's bride?

Movie Review: 'Gori Tere Pyaar Mein!'

Story: She's the Punjab-di-gori who loves her 'mera gaon mera desh'. He's the rich Tamilian playboy who likes his women and his cars 'fast'. In a clash of ideologies, they seem to be a bridge too far.

Review: Meet the gorgeous gora-gori jodi of this village-side story. Dia (Kareena), a social worker living in Bengaluru. There she meets the phoren-educated architect Sriram (Imran) - who she calls 'Sridevi'; a misfit and 'black' sheep in a traditional, lungi-clad Tam-Brahm family. He's carefree, casual about love, lazy and shows little humanitarian inkling. She's a fiery, righteous rebel, a mini 'Mother India' who fights for everything 'unfair'. They fall in love, but their ideologies are unaligned, so over some 'tooh-tooh main main', they split up and move on. He moves on to Vasudha (Shraddha), the pretty matrimonial pick, while Dia heads to a remote village in Gujarat.

Soon he realizes his dil beats for Dia, and he follows her all the way to Jhumli gaon. The only way to win her over is to embrace the gobar, gareebi, gais (cows) murghis (though he'd rather see the 'chick(en)s' in a tandoor), and whole bunch of dhoti-clad villagers (straight out of 'Lagaan', even with 'Oh Mitwa' playing in the background for impact). Yes, he even sacrifices his strictly 'chicketarian' diet for dhoklas instead (becharo chhokro!). Lastly, he helps Dia with her mammoth dream of replacing the gaon's shaky rope-bridge with a real one. Now, will 'Sridevi' be able to use his chaalbaazi to crossover to his chhori - That's the idea.

Imran, is most at ease playing Romedy roles, it shows. He's endearing and likeable as a loverboy. Kareena looks stunning in her desi avatar and pulls off the chhori-chichhori with spontaneity and spunk. Shraddha makes a 'pretty' pleasant cameo; and Anupam Kher entertains with his madcap act.

Punit's 'GTPM', is a sweet, breezy romcom with likeable characters presented in glossy, lavish, true Karan Johar (producer) style. In the second half, the 'the bridge over troubled waters' project is a bit stretched, and you wish the gaonwallahs would leave the pair to romance instead. Music (Vishal-Shekhar) is peppy and pleasing.

This isn't the most rousing romance (second-half lacks 'rom'), but has its feel-good moments. Chew it up with some 'Chingam' and a cute date.
