Bipasha Basu and Ranbir Kapoor have kept in touch ever since they first bonded together on the sets of Bachna Ae Haseeno.
That the 32-year-old Bipasha Basu and 28-year-old Ranbir Kapoor could be thick as thieves is something only a few had expected. But an ajab friendship has brewed between the two over the years.
They keep in touch and often discuss openly the matters that are most personal to them, be it the crisis in their respective romantic lives or new friendships. Reports say Ranbir discussed in detail his break-ups with Deepika Padukone and, later, Katrina Kaif. Likewise, Bipasha too has been confiding the matters of her heart to Ranbir.
While there’s nothing romantic brewing between the two Bipasha and Ranbir could easily be labelled as soul buddies.
Bipasha doesn’t deny that she and Ranbir have been good friends, but goes on to add that their busy schedules hardly leave them with any time to catch up.
There’s no skin show in the ad, yet Monica Dogra manages to stir an emotion as she appears helplessly caged with a hen for the new PETA ad.
The gorgeous NRI girl who’s now eyeing a full-fledged career in Bollywood, Monica Dogra wasn’t always a vegan. But when she came to know about the torture the animals go through just make a good meal for the humans, she became a convert.
“I was raised eating meat...At around 12 years old, I remember reading about factory farming and the way animals -- particularly chickens at that time -- were being treated...and I remember feeling really harrowed and sad,” Monica says in a video interview to PETA.
With the new PETA ad that has Monica caged with a hen, Monica tries to promote vegetarianism, which she says is healthy as well.
Monica is from the US and debuted in Dhobi Ghat.
Till now Arunoday Singh has done only small films, but he got noticed in every one of them. So, it didn’t come as a surprise for us to know that he is the hunk who will romance Bollywood diva Aishwarya Rai in the much-hyped movie Heroine.
With this confirmation, the speculations have come to an end. Aishwarya gets her hero, and it’s not Abhishek Bachchan as many had expected. Apart from Arunoday Singh, Arjun Rampal is also a part of the film which will be directed by Madhur Bhandrakar.
So, what worked in Arunoday’s favour? He is good-looking, tall and incredibly handsome, someone who can match up with Aishwarya’s pristine beauty.
As per sources, Arunoday was confirmed after much deliberation. According to a source, “Madhur wanted to finish the casting of his film Heroine since the film was announced at Cannes sometime back. However, after much thought, Arunoday Singh has been roped in for the film…”
While talking to a daily, Arunoday himself confirmed the news and said that he is excited about the film and about working with Aishwarya, but can’t disclose much about the project. Sources further claim that Arunoday will play a cricketer who has an affair with a top actress.
The Salman Khan magic is working again. His latest film Ready, despite being panned by majority of critics, is drawing footfalls to theatres. The Ready box office figures already have the distributors heaving a sigh of relief and eyeing a fat profit as well.
Directed by Anees Bazmee, the comedy film starring Asin and Salman Khan opened to a rip-roaring start on Friday. It saw the occupancy of 60 to 80 percent at both multiplexes and single screen theatres. Some shows in the evening registered a house-full.
Coming less than a year after Dabangg, which recorded the best opening weekend collections for any Hindi film to date, Ready is not going as strong as Dabangg did, but is likely to surpass the first-day collection of 3 Idiots (Rs 13 crores). Ready’s Friday business is expected to be between Rs 12 to 14 crores. Not to be ignored is the fact that 3 Idiots released during the Christmas weekend while Ready has released at the peak of summers, with no festival around.
The business in the coming days will decide whether Ready is a superhit or a hit or an average performer. The film isn’t likely to flop.
The release of Ready has also punctured the collections of other Bollywood releases. Pyaar Ka Punchnama, which has done the business of Rs. 9 crore approx in two weeks, saw a steep fall in its collections on Friday, and so did Vikram Bhatt’s Haunted - 3D, which has already become a hit with more than Rs 26 crores since its release.
Seems like Shahrukh Khan’s Ra.One just can’t stop being in the news. The audio track titled ‘Wanna be my Chammak Challo’ was recently leaked online. The song has been sung by the international singing sensation Akon. Interestingly, Kareena Kapoor would be doing an item number on the same song.
If the buzz is to be believed, Shahrukh wants this song to beat the likes of Sheila and Munni. Another buzz is that Akon has composed two different versions of Chammak Challo - the first one being the version that would feature in Ra.One and the second one would be for Akon’s private album. Although, it is still not clear which version has been leaked online.
The bad news for the makers is that now the full song is available online along with its lyrics!!
There were rumours that Deepika Padukone was approached for this item number. Kareena quite clearly dismissed the rumours and said that the song was an integral part of the movie and there was no question of approaching another actress. Kareena recently revealed her look for this item number. She would be seen in a sexy Indian look and will sport a nose-ring and earrings (jhumkas).
But with the song getting leaked online, it may be robbed of its novelty. Seems like Shahrukh Khan has to use his Ra.One superpowers to control the situation now! Go for it, G.One!
Kajol was recently spotted at the YRF studios and sources claim that it wasn’t just an impromptu visit. Speculations are rife that Kajol is in talks with the YRF people for a film that also stars Shahrukh Khan.
As per reports, Yash Chopra’s comeback directorial venture after Veer Zara will have Shahrukh and Katrina Kaif in main lead. But there is also a scope for another actress in the film and for which Yash Raj would be happy to get associated with Kajol, yet again.
The insiders are also not ruling out the possibility of the film being a love triangle. Though Katrina Kaif is the star of the film, Kajol too might have a good role in it. “Chopra is very keen to have Kajol opposite Shah Rukh. He is quite fond of both of them and loves their onscreen pairing. He feels that they can create the same magic,” the source is quoted as saying by a tabloid.
Perhaps Kajol might do a cameo, like she did in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Generally, celebs are approached for the cameos once the movie is fully shot or is in post production to add a star value to it. But does a film with Shahrukh Khan and Katrina in lead needs star value! We doubt it.
So wait for the announcement from YRF while we pray to see Kajol and Shahrukh together on silver screen.
Actress Yuvika Chaudhary is feeling harassed. A pimp from Delhi has been sending out messages online that Yuvika is “available” for Rs. 5 lakh.
According to reports, the pimp named John has created a fake account in Yuvika’s name on a networking site and has been posting lewd messages suggesting that Yuvika was willing to offer sexual services to anyone who was willing to pay.
Not just that, Yuvika says the pimp has been calling her and harassing her repeatedly for the last few weeks on the pretext of locking a deal.
Yuvika has filed an FIR with the police and has stopped taking calls from unknown numbers. She has also been trying to clarify to everyone that she has no account on any social networking site. So those who see a Yuvika Chaudhary handle on Twitter, better know that it’s not the actress.
Yuvika was recently seen opposite Govinda in Naughty @ 40. She says the harassment or stalking is perhaps the price of fame an actress has to pay.
DK Bose...DK Bose...DK Bose...say that repeatedly and you are sure to know which popular cuss word in the street lingo the title refers to.
“Bhaag D.K. Bose”, the song from Aamir Khan’s upcoming production Delhi Belly has already become a rage among the youth, never mind its whacky lyrics about sabun and zhaag. Now, those who didn’t pay much attention to the song’s title earlier are marvelling at the cleverness with which the lyricist has concealed a cuss word therein.
We hear that the song is inspired by Dolly Bindra who was very liberal at hurling profane expletives at the other contestants during her stint on Bigg Boss 4. One of her favourite cuss words, beeped out regularly, was “B**se DK”.
That inspired the creative team of Delhi Belly to come up with the title ‘D K Bose’, and music composer Ram Sampath set it to a killer grunge rock tune.
Well, the headbangers are already having a ball to the wackiest song of the season.
The news of Bipasha Basu and John Abraham breaking up came as a shock to many. The two were seeing each other since the past nine years. But the good news is that both of them seem to have moved on pretty quickly.
While Bipasha is rumoured to be dating her international co-star Josh Hartnett, John has been spotted having coffee and dinner with a girl named Priya. While there is not much detail available about Priya, sources reveal that she is an upcoming model.
John is currently shooting for his upcoming, yet untitled movie which features Chitrangada Singh. The buzz suggests that John has been enjoying his single status lately and has been hitting it off quite well with the females around him.
John and Priya were reportedly spotted hanging out together and having chats over a cup of coffee! The two were also seen at suburban restaurants having dinner. John takes out time after his shoots to spend time with Priya.
Well, John, we would advice you take things ahead slowly. Because slow and steady wins Priya. Oops, we mean the race! Wink! Wink!
As soon as he was done with his Golmaal 3, director Rohit Shetty didn’t take time to announce Singham with his friend Ajay Devgan. Once again he chose Goa, his favourite destination for shooting and completed Singham in a record time. Now the movie is ready to hit the theatres on July 22 and its first trailer released today with Salman Khan’s film Ready.
Ajay Devgan is back and this time he is not doing comedy but has a serious business to finish. He will throw fists at the baddies, and will fight injustice. For Singham, Ajay has gone through extensive weight training to get a beefed-up look. The actor has pumped iron to get those rippling muscles that his character requires in the film. The 42-year-old actor will show his six packs in the film which were not at all easy to get. Ajay trained under the fitness expert Prashant Sawant for three months.
Singham, a remake of a Tamil blockbuster with the same title, is about a brave cop in a small town played by Ajay. Newcomer Kajal Aggarwal, who has given several hits in the south, gets to play the heroine in the film.
The movie has right mix of fun and emotions along with some jaw-dropping action scenes performed by Ajay.
If the Dhoom series needs its ladies really hot and sizzling, they have just hit the jackpot. Ranbir Kapoor's 'close friend' and former swimsuit calendar girl Angela Jonsson was found auditioning for the said role in the upcoming Dhoom sequel at the Yash Raj Studios, yesterday.
According to our source from the production house, the model, who has set her eyes on Bollywood (that is, apart from Bollywood's men) was called for an audition at the studio and she was pretty impressive in it. "There have been a lot of auditions going on after Victor and Adi decided to have a new face to star opposite Aamir in Dhoom 3. Angela came in as a part of that process. And she impressed them," said the source.
And why wouldn't she? After all she matches all the pre-conditions of being a Dhoom girl. The ladies who have bagged the coveted role in the previous Dhoom films, namely, Esha Deol, Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu had to look extremely stylish and sexy for it.
In fact, Esha had to lose quite a few kilos for the same. "What also worked for the Dhoom makers is that Angela is quite gorgeous and can easily carry off a stylish character. And most importantly despite being a model she is quite short almost ideal for a short person like Aamir. That's why they have had more meetings with her," added the source.
When contacted, Yash Raj Films, known for their tightlipped behaviour until the starcast is finalised on paper, admitted that Angela was there for an audition. However, they denied having signed her for the film.
"We constantly audition new talent and Angela was auditioned for a possible role by our casting department but this was not for any specific project," said the YRF spokesperson and added, "As for whether she is a part of Dhoom 3, YRF is not in discussion with her. We would like to reiterate that the D:3 girl has not been found and the hunt is still on."
Angela did not reply to our SMS either. But it sure looks like the model is doing just the right things in Bollywood.
Sonakshi Sinha took the hot seat in the Bhojpuri version of Kaun Banega Crorepati hosted by her father Shatrughan Sinha, and she has given away most of her prize money to Salman Khan’s Being Human charity.
Sonakshi who turns 24 today decided to give the money to the Being Human charity because it’s a charity she trusts and believes in and she is certain that the money will be used to help those who need it.
Shatrughan Sinha talks in fluent Bhojpuri on the show, and it left Sonakshi quite impressed; this being the first time she was hearing her father speak in Bhojpuri.
Speaking about Being Human, Sonakshi said, "It's a charity I know, trust and believe in. I've seen the money move in the right direction. A lot of us want to help the needy. But how to ensure the money gets to the right place? I know the money is used to help those who need it."
Salman Khan and Asin were in the capital to promote their film Ready. What particularly came to our notice during the press meet was a caring Salman, who sat besides Asin and watched her animated expressions with an amusing glance.
Asin recently went on record to say she is very fond of Salman Khan. The actor is not only a good co-star but is also very supportive and has even referred her to some producers. However, what Asin likes the most about Salman is his bindaas attitude -- he is a man with no pretence or façade.
At the press meet too we could see their ‘Ready’ chemistry. Salman was chivalrous and was seen taking good care of Asin. The star, who is also a fitness freak, has even helped Asin with her gym sessions during the shoot of Ready. He has even given Asin a few workout tips. Oh yes! it definitely shows in Ready; Asin is looking fit, gorgeous and curvaceous.
Now, we know why the lassie is going gaga over Salman Khan.
Bollywood music director Ismail Durbar has claimed that AR Rahman had bought the Oscar Award by paying for it. This had stirred the hornet’s nest with several people in the film industry alleging that Durbar is making such statements for some cheap publicity.
On the other hand, AR Rahman has said that there is certainly no money involved in the Oscar Awards. He added that the coveted award is given with the consensus of about 3000 people and it is impossible to buy it.
The film fraternity has appealed to Durbar to refrain from making such comments. They added that every Indian should be proud that AR Rahman had achieved this feat by sheer hard work and hence should not doubt its veracity.
The OK! magazine headline misled Kim Kardashian’s fans. It said that Kim was in a family way!
However, the happy bride dispelled all the ridiculous rumors about that. “Magazines can be so tricky with their wording! The inside states that one day I want a baby! But I’m not pregnant!” .
Of course, the famous sex tape star is too busy to control everything written about her bright personality, but she advised not to believe anyone, but her. And we are the first to know about KIm Kardashian’s pregnancy, if it happens.
