Aishwarya speaks on failing B-town marriages

In the backdrop of crumbling marriages in Bollywood, actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan feels that its unfair to limit and judge relationships.

"I don't think it is fair to get judgemental and limit relationships or strengths or inability to hold themselves or limit it to showbiz. What happens in society is each to his own. What would be fair and respectful is belief in people to allow them to live their lives and finding strength in choices they make," the actress said in response to a query on effects of showbiz on marital life.

5 Bollywood hairstyles that went horribly wrong

/anushka-sharma-preity-zinta-hrithik-roshan-shah-rukh-khan-rani-mukerji/Anushka-Sharma-haircut-and-lip-job/eventshow/27301433.cms

Anushka Sharma has recently been flaunting not only a leaner version of herself but also a new haircut. While her stick like legs might still appeal to some, there seems to be a  disliking towards her short fringes. Rumours of a lip job and now a bad haircut, Anushka has been in the news for all the wrong reasons.

The dimpled beauty Preity Zinta has hardly gone wrong with her hairstyles. Her poker straight ironed hairstyle in 'Kal Ho Na Ho' and the curly mane in 'Dil Chahta Hai' were definite style statements. However things hadn't always been so good for the Zinta girl all along. Her fringes in the film 'Armaan' weren't exactly a sight for sore eyes. If we had it our way, we would have chopped off the film's reel whenever we saw Preity in that horrible wig.

Considering Farhan Akhtar created an uber cool image of himself and his upcoming body of work after 'Dil Chahta Hai', we decided not to spare him after what he did to Hrithik Roshan's hair in 'Lakshya'. Farhan's wife Adhuna Akhtar being a hairstylist herself makes matters worse. We wanted to bite our tongue before saying it but Hrithik's hideous hairstyle in the first half of 'Lakshya' made us want to cringe!

Shah Rukh Khan in 'Koyla' wasn't better than any other on this list. With that disaster of a haircut that was a cross between SRK's original floppy hair and that of Tarzan from the deep end of a jungle somewhere, we wish SRK would have chosen to hide his face in a non transparent ghunghta. Him ironically singing 'ghungate mein chanda hai' was like a slap on the hairstylist's face.

Experimenting with a new look in 'Tara Rum Pum', Rani Mukerji stood like a sore thumb from behind those highlights and fringes. Rani's repulsive hairstyle made matters worse for the dwindling ticket sales at the Box Office.

'I feel bad that Kushal has been picked a lot on Bigg Boss'

Ever since Salman Khan lashed out on TV actor Kushal Tandon on reality show 'Bigg Boss 7' for his rude behaviour towards Bollywood actress Tanishaa, some of the industry members and fans of the show have been debating over Salman being unfair towards Kushal.

I’ll always love, respect and care for him: Sussanne

Page 1 of 2

The news that Hrithik Roshan and his wife Sussanne are separating after 17 years of what seemed like a fairy tale relationship, took Bollywood by shock. Hrithik's statement to the press read — "Sussanne has decided to separate from me and end our 17-year relationship (13 years of marriage). This is a very trying time for the entire family and I request the media and the people to grant us our privacy at this time..."

One hears many of Sussanne's close friends were upset with the way her actor husband had worded his press statement. Public sympathy is divided. While many sided with Hrithik, Sussanne's close circle feel that the light-eyed Bollywood superstar had tried to project himself as the victim. And, that he made it look like it was solely Sussanne's decision to call it quits.

However, far from being crestfallen, Sussanne glowed in a maroon dress at her first public outing since the news of her marriage having hit rock bottom broke. Unhesitatingly she told us, "No, I don't feel bad about what Hrithik said because I will always respect, love and care for him for the rest of my life. So, I will never feel bad for anything he says or does."

READ: Sussanne denies Arjun Rampal's involvement in her split

The occasion was the launch of yet another of Sussanne's new business venture where she has collaborated with two other Bollywood wives. As expected, the attendance was marked by the best in Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan and wife Gauri, Salman Khan, Sridevi, Shilpa Shetty, Lara Dutta and Vikram Phadnis, to name a few, came, as did Arjun Rampal and his wife Mehr.

Right from ensuring that the music played non-stop to looking into other minute details as she climbed the six flight of stairs in the building we were in, Sussanne also played a bit of hide and seek with the paparazzi that hounded her. However, more often than not, she stood around because her high-profile guests poured in continuosly. And, as a hostess,she couldn't be missing in action. In fact, it was rather cute to see her tip-toe around, holding her high-heel golden shoes in her hand because her feet gave way with all the climbing around she did.

When a small window of opportunity for a conversation opened up, we asked how she was coping. "I am fortunate to not feel any pressure because I am surrounded by good people... my family, my in-laws... they are all good people. So, I don't think anything is bad. Sometimes, people move on, but that doesn't make anybody bad. My in-laws are family for me, they always will be. However, sometimes in life, two good people have to part. One should move on and enjoy other things in life," she said.

Since her equation with everybody else is good, is there a possibility of reconciliation between the celebrity couple? "Reconciliation? I don't know. Maybe...I really don't know..." she replied with a far-away look in her eyes.

When asked why Hrithik was missing on such an important occasion in her life, she quickly responded, "Hrithik is not in the country."

Sussanne then drifted to the conversation about her two sons, seven-year-old Hrehaan and five-year-old Hridhaan. "Both are interested in architecture," said the proud mother. "They play this game where they build cities and the most unbelievable homes and everything. They refer to my books; it is interesting. But we can't say now what they would want to become. I have told them that if they want to become actors, they are most welcome, but at least study architecture. They like movies also, but they are more into designing cities," she clarified.

About her passion for her occupation, Sussanne said she has been into interiors since she was a little girl. "I was about five years old when my mother influenced me because I used to see architecture digests and magazines lying in my house. It influenced me the most out of all the rest of my siblings. I wanted to go to a design school and my mother pushed me to do that. I studied in California and came back and started working, but I wasn't working as hard as I am working now. After I had my children, I had more energy. I feel they gave me the energy to work as I work today. I keep travelling for growth. I like learning, doing courses to keep growing. I feel blessed because I have always got good projects. I love my work. I am totally focussed on my work," said Sussanne.

Who is to say what tomorrow holds for Hrithik and Sussanne. Their separation is at an early stage. As she herself hinted, a reconciliation could perhaps happen. In the meantime, she has immersed herself in her other passion, her work.

Dhoom 3 ticket prices to go as high as 900?

The festive season, a slew of hyped releases and recent box office casualties; these are the reasons cited by multiplexes for the announced rise in ticket prices. With the hike, you may end up shelling out upto Rs 900 to watch a film this weekend. The current quarter has been a disappointing one for the film industry, with big films like 'Besharam', 'Boss', 'Bullett Raja', 'Singh Sahab The Great' and 'Gori Tere Pyaar Mein' failing to hit the bull's eye. And with these poorly received films, multiplexes registered minimal footfall during the past few months.

But the theatres are hoping that releases like 'Dhoom 3' and 'Jai Ho', will turn the tide and they have planned to rake in the moolah through escalated ticket prices.

READ: Aamir Khan breaks his own rules for Dhoom 3?

A top official from a leading multiplex reveals, "Big films have bigger expectations but films like 'Gori Tere Pyaar Mein' failed miserably. We have had a lot of losses but its part of the game. 'Jai Ho' again will be a game changer."

Nationally the average ticket price will go up by 10-12 per cent, and in some markets like Mumbai, the rise can be as high as 60 per cent. Cities like Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Delhi, Chandigarh, have controlled markets where the law doesn't permit a steep price. However, Mumbai is a free market and therefore the difference in the ticket price of a big release and one without any big names is high. And sources say that tickets of films like 'Mahabharat 3D', 'Sholay 3D' and 'Dedh Ishqiya' will not cost the 'premium' price.

ALSO READ: Hollywood film postponed because of Dhoom 3

Anand Vishal, head of operations at Fun Republic explains the move saying, "Wouldn't you have to pay extra if you want to fly last minute? Today, when you have a good season, prices will go up, like in the airline or the hospitality industry. And the last three months have not been good for the film industry. In fact, even 'Krrish 3' did better in single screens than in multiplexes."

However, Kamal Gianchandani, president of PVR, says that the bad performance of the last quarter is not the main reason for the hike. He says, "I think that November was good with 'Krrish 3' and 'Ram Leela'. Ups and downs are part of this business. Bigger films are always priced higher. It's an accepted practise and the same was done during the release of Chennai Express."

As for the eyewatering Rs 900 that IMAX properties will charge for select shows, he explains, "We only have two properties in Mumbai and the technology is expensive. That's why the price is high." Leading distributor Rajesh Thadani weighs in saying "At the end of the day, the content has to be good. With the hike in price, multiplexes can balance out their balance sheet." But are people willing to shell out the premium money? Thadani believes, "Those who can, will shell out the money, others will have to watch it later ."

'Bade Achhe Laggte Hain' to end in May?

Buzz is also that Ram Kapoor's Bade Achhe Laggte Hain, will end next year. The show had a great start — it even became the top-rated show of the channel — but started dipping on the ratings chart. According to sources, BALH will end in May, 2014, thereby completing three years since its launch in May 2011.

Says a source from the show, "The production house is working on how to end the story. BALH was supposed to be a finite series, but they've dragged it so much that nothing is left to showcase. The actual theme of a 'mature love story' got diluted with parallel tracks as the leads were never available together at one point of time. The audiences are smart and they can gauge when there is no chemistry between a couple."

READ: Bade Achhe Lagte Hain to go off air in January 2014?

Ram says, "I have no clue about this, you'll have to ask the channel." Sneha Rajani, Senior EVP and business head of the channel, says, "How can I comment on what will happen after six months? That's a lifetime in TV. Personally, I would want it to run forever."
