Sexy Vidya Balan Again On the Front page Of Filmfare

Bollywood’s latest hot property features on the cover page of Filmfare July 2008 edition. For Vidya Balan, this is the third time that she’s become the cover-girl of this popular film magazine. Looking hot and sizzling in her all new glam look, the single-and-contemplating-if-to-mingle , arrived late at the launch of the issue. This time she had the rain gods to blame. Dressed in a black dress, it seemed like she is finally getting close to being stylish.

Talking about the various allegations thrust on her, according to the southern siren, the most absurd gossip was her decision to get a tattoo done. She laughed, “That was the most baseless rumour I’ve come across.” Always in the news for her varied ‘alleged’ love interests, perhaps its time for her to retaliate as many of her counterparts are doing. Ask her which medium she would choose and she says, “I have started getting on to the net, checking blogs. I am beginning to enjoy it as a new world has opened now

” So do we see another star venting out her frustration via blogging? Perhaps yes. Vidya says, “I love to write. So may be if I had a little more time in hand, I will (blog).”

Soha Ali Khan in film on sexual politics

Irrfan Khan and Soha Ali Khan have paired up for a film that is meant strictly for adults.


The Anil Sharma movie, titled Dil Kabaddi , is a tale of sexual politics, adultery and extra-marital affairs. Basically, it highlights the lack of loyalty in relationships.

Irrfan’s character in the film is that of a cool executive who isn’t satisfied with his female partner and keeps looking for sexual and emotional gratification elsewhere. It is a full-on promiscuous character with no regrets or apologies.

In fact, this role was initially supposed to be played by Rahul Bose and Irrfan was approached to play a professor. But Irrfan liked the promiscuous character so much that he insisted on playing it. Incidentally, Rahul also liked the character of professor and happily swapped roles with Irrfan.

Irrfan minces no words in saying that the film is “strictly for adults”.

However, the movie will not have much skin show by the lead actress Soha Ali Khan.

“Only the situations in the plot have sexual connotations. There is no skin exposure as such in the film,” says a source.

Ayesha Takia to get rid of her plus heavy sized breasts

Gorgeous Ayesha would soon be losing the assets she has been known for. This Bolly-babe is having a lot of problems due to the boob job which she had done few years ago. After this surgery this gorgeous gal surely gained plus sized breasts but the actress is now thinking of reducing it back to normal.

Sources reveal that due to heavy sized breasts she is having a lot of pain on her shoulders. This is the reason why doctors have advised this diva to go through a surgery and reduce her bust size. The actress may have won best debutant award in 2004 for Tarzan: The Wonder Car, but in her long career of four years it’s only 2006 release Dor that her acting talent were been appreciated by both the critics and masses.

We would have to wait and see whether this surgery would bring luck back to her or it would affect the beauty and career of this wonder girl in some other way. Meanwhile the surgery is scheduled to take place in next month at Lilavati hospital.

Hope Ayesha has consulted her boyfriend Farhan Azmi before signaling green to the doctors.

Shreya Saran's Sleepless nights

Shreya is finding it hard to sleep after getting back to town on completion of her shooting schedule for Tamil film Kandswami. I can guess that your thought process is skyrocketing with several points that should be working behind Shreya’s sleeplessness. Firstly, she maybe too excited about her film, secondly maybe the reason that she is anxious about the film and third, which is very obvious with glam babes, she maybe in love.

As normally we associate sleepless nights with love there is no harm in thinking that Shreya must be in the cloud nine with some handsome hunk from south.

But quite unfortunately, the story over hare is little different. Her insomnia isn’t related to falling in love with someone but the reason behind it is shooting in Mexico. We are all aware of the time difference of 10 hours between India and Mexico. That means when moon is seen in India, people in Mexico are getting ready to start another day.

Returning from 25 days schedule in Mexico poor Shreya is finding it hard to get adjusted with the IST (Indian Standard Time). The schedule has completely changed her bio-clock. Throughout the night she can’t sleep and on the other hand a rising sun tolls the sleeping bell for this Bolly-babe and she bids goodnight (if allowed) to the entire world.

Shreya says that it would take another couple of days to get adjusted with this natural phenomenon. Until then the actress has no other options than to count the stars looking at the dark sky.

Vishakha Singh :A Producer asked me to sleep with him

Her maiden film as an actress - Hum Sey Hai Jahaan bombed at the box office, but then pretty, dark and smart Vishakha Singh is not unduly perturbed by the fate of the film for the simple reason that even before Hum Sey Hai Jahaan was complete, she had bagged two more films - Abhijeet Sengupta's Do Aur Do Paanch and Venkatesh Naidu's Coffee Shop, which are also being readied for an early release.

Born and brought up in Abu Dhabi, Vishakha, who was the cultural captain while she studied in school, is a beauty with brains, having graduated in Business Administration in New Delhi. Vishakha confesses that it was sheer boredom with her internship in a couple of ad agencies that prompted her to try her hands at modeling.

Vishakha continues confessing that her acting stint had actually started right from home when she had lied to her strict father that she wanted to go to Mumbai to do theatre because he was not in favor of letting her act in films.

Vishakha concedes that though it is easy to get offers to act in ad films after giving the auditions, to face the camera and emote and lose one's inhibitions to a blank lens which is just a piece which does not respond to you is quite a tough task.

"Though I did not learn acting by joining any acting academy, I am glad I was able to understand the medium by facing the camera for ad films.

Though as far as acting was concerned, I was 10 when I embarked on a career in acting, today I feel I can rate myself 4 out of 10, " Vishakha quips.

Though Vishakha has not acted in any TV serial till date, she says that all the credit for having made her an actress ought to go to Balaji Telefilms which had auditioned her for a role in their popular serial Kasauti Zindagi Ki.

"I was given a two page long dialogue for the scene in which Prerna loses her son. After I had done the scene, I went on crying and was asked to report for the shoot from the next day.

However I decided that I could not suffer doing such scenes for 25 days every month and politely declined the role of Aparna who ends up marrying Mr Basu, " explains Vishakha.

However, Vishakha says that she does not regret having said no to act in TV serials.

"TV is a very open medium. Touchwood, if my films do not do well at the box office, I am one hundred per cent confident that television is one medium which would still welcome me, with open arms.

I do not mean to look down upon TV. It is just that as of now I want to concentrate all my attention on making a career as an actress in Bollywood, " Vishakha explores her world of hope.

Whether in Hum Sey Hai Jahaan or Do Aur Do Paanch or for that matter Coffee Shop, Vishakha says that she has made it a point not to expose at all, though it is the latest mantra in Bollywood.

"Losing one's inhibitions does not at all mean that one should bare one's clothes but emotions. It is only the director and the script which can convince me as far as agreeing to expose on the screen is concerned, " bold goes the rising star.

What is Vishakha's take on exposure? I ask Viashakha. She shoots back, "I have a lot of pride in me.

When I saw Esha Deol appear in a skimpy bikini in Dhoom, my heart sank, because I realized that I stood no chance of saying no to getting into a bikini, if Esha who is from the film industry had to do it. I am not at all a prude.

Though I had turned down Arjun Sablok's offer to cast me in Niel N Niki in the role in which he had eventually cast Tanisha, because he could not convince me to expose my cleavage almost throughout the film, I'd readily do a lip to lip kissing scene like Rani did in Black if the scene changes the entire narration like it did in Black."

Is she scared of the syndrome of the casting couch? I ask her.

Without batting her eye lids, she replies, "I am not scared at all of the casting couch, because I'd slap the person if someone makes an attempt, though I do not deny that it does exist.

A Telugu film producer told me on my face to sleep with him if I wanted to act in his film, but he was lucky because I had politely walked out, since I was new then, long before I bagged the offer for my first film."

In Do Aur Do Paanch, Vishakha plays a typical tapori girl since the film, in her own admission, is a take off on Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, a comedy action film, which has Salman Khan doing a special appearance though the flick has no love triangle at all.

In Coffee Shop, Vishakha plays the role of a painter. "It is about the struggle of the girl who wants to go to the New York School of Fine Arts. Though in real life, I also dabble with painting as a hobby, I am not a M. F. Hussain in real life, though I could identify with the journey of the character that I am playing in Coffee Shop to a large extent, " Vishakha casts light on her character.

When she met Mashoor Amrohi who has not only played the leading man in Hum Sey Hai Jahaan but also produced, directed, written and choreographed the film, Vishakha says that she could easily gel with him because they belonged to the same age group and there was no communication gap.

"I was relieved to make my debut with a banner which was known to present women in a dignified way", Vishakha quips and adds that it was a big advantage to her that Mashoor, besides being the leading man, was also the director of the film since she did not have to necessarily look tom the director behind the camera.

Inrterestingly Vishakha's name was suggested by the unit of Chak De India after she had been rejected by Shimit Amin when she auditioned for the role eventually played in the film by Vidya Malavade, because Shimit did not find her suitable for the matured character.

Vishakha says that her wish list is to act in films like Black and Cheeni Kum since she is a die-hard fan of Rani Mukerjee, Kajol, Tabu, Vidya Balan and Minissha Lamba ("I like Minisha's choice of films") as far as actresses are concerned though her staunch favorite among the actors is none other than Hrithik Roshan. "I dote on Hrithik Roshan because he is so devoted to his work", she concludes.

Riya Sen - now just an item

She was last seen as a leading lady way back in 2006 when she appeared opposite Shreyas Talpade in Apna Sapna Money Money. The film was a success but Riya Sen was in mood to get into a signing spree.

Waiting patiently for the right roles to come her way, the pretty young girl who has also been seen in successful films like Shaadi No. 1, Plan, Qayamat, Jhankaar Beats and last but not the least Style, has been keeping herself busy by being a part of item songs.

Her mini appearance amongst a horde of girls was definitely noticed as she burnt the dance floor in the sizzling title song from the film Heyy Babyy (2007).

The song turned out to be a chartbuster and Riya was noticed once again in spite of presence of a dozen odd sexy sirens like Celina Jaitley, Koena Mitra and Amisha Patel alongst others.

Now she has got a platform set for herself to make a further impression with the film Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein where she has got an entire item song shot exclusively on her.

Titled 'Sajan Mera', a number where Riya is seen in yet another sizzling avtar of hers, it also features the film's lead Sarwar Ahuja who appears to be all pensive and troubled as per the demand of the situation in the song.

Along with Sarwar, who had debuted with Khanna & Iyer last year, the film also stars Tabassum's grand daughter Khushi who would be making her debut as a leading lady. The film is produced by Rajesh Gupta and directed by Manish Goel.

Incidentally Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein was recently in news since the makers had gone on record to state that Riya wasn't cooperating with them for the promotion of the film.

Apparently Riya, who has a cameo role in Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein, felt that the makers only wanted to cash in on her name and popularity to promote the film. This is why she was demanding close to Rs 3 lakh just to promote the film.

Though there hasn't been an official word on this from Riya, the makers have made it clear that they won't bow down to her demands since the film's promotion was planned with an extremely tight budget due to Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein being a small-budget film.

Katrina's Sexy Steps

For what seems to be the first time, Katrina Kaif was recently seen shying away from sporting a dance costume, which she found too short for her comfort.

While shooting for the title track of Singh is Kinng , which is being choreographed for Remo Fernandez, she had dance steps that required her to bend forward several times. And this made Katrina too conscious.

Sensing that she was uncomfortable in that particular outfit, Remo tried to assure her that the steps would not look vulgar on-screen. Remo said, “Yes, Katrina was apprehensive while doing a particular sequence. I had to cajole her into it because it was a beautiful dance step.”

Finally, Remo made one of his female assistants, who was dressed in the same outfit, do the exact steps. After seeing that, Katrina gave it a try and it turned out so well, that she repeated it several times.

Remo added, “Once Katrina was comfortable, she pulled it off really well.”

Amrita Rao's Wonderfull gift

Receiving three paintings dedicated to herself by the great artist MF Hussain himself as a birthday gift has not only upped her asset portfolio but also ‘humbled her’.

However, there are other things that make the girl happy, too. Apparently, when she was shooting in Peru, South America, recently, she was taken aback when a group of locals rushed to her for an autograph, and their mobiles went click, click, click.

That’s not all. They insisted that she see the photos that they had of her on their mobiles. “Some even had her picture as their screensaver,” we are told. Now how on earth did this Amrita craze hit Peru?

It was her film Vivaah that did the trick. They loved the movie, and what they loved even more was their Poonam (played by Amu) in it.

Wonder if Vivaah co-star Shahid will draw as much fan-following as Peru’s Bollywood pari? Test ho jaye , Shahid?

Bipasha Basu’s contradictory avatars

Getting noticed is one thing, making a mark is another! While the world discovered her through her sultry seductress avatar in Jism, it was her meaty roles in Raaz and No Entry that established her as a good actress in tinselville.

Different story, different role and an all new Bipasha! It seems that Bipasha is out to prove something every time she does a film. From a hot chic to plain Jane, Bips very convincingly steps into the varied mould of her film’s character and wows her fans and admirers.

Here is a dekkho at Bipasha Basu’s contradictory avatars.

Some Very Sexy Shimmying from Hansika

Hansika who has shot a special song sequence for her upcoming film MONEY HAI TO HONEY HAI, is all set to show off her dance moves! The sizzling Punjabi number appears in the film when she dreams of making it big in Bollywood and becoming the top heroine!

The song will feature Hansika and Ganesh Acharya and we can expect to see some very sexy shimmying from Hansika as she'll be belly dancing in the song!!! And most amazing of all, Hansika will be seen carrying off a 60 meter gown in the same song alternating with some very cool hip-hop costumes too!!

Whoa! This one song sure seems to have all the right ingredients to set the dance floor on fire!

Kisser boy Emran Hashmi is responsible for change in Sexy Kangana Ranaut


Shooting for Razz2 has made Kangana Ranaut a god fearing person. Actually one can say that more than Razz2 kisser boy Emran Hashmi is responsible in bringing this sudden change in Kangana’s nature. Basically while shooting for the film her co-star Emraan played such a lot of scary pranks on the actress due to which she became spiritual to overcome her fears. Kangana recently while sharing her experiences said that she comes from a family who believes in the all mighty but the pranks played by Emraan has made her more spiritual and now she never misses her morning prayers.

Apart from Raaz2 this gorgeous babe is also looking forward to Madhur Bhadarkar’s Fashion to be released this year. Then she has Raksesh Roshan’s Kites and T series Happy New Year in her kitty at her future projects. Adding to these is also an American production companies Romeo And Juliet.

Seems God has really been extra kind towards this spiritual girl.
