My new haircut has brought me luck: Koel Purie

2008-10-06T21:14:00.000-07:00

Riding high after the success of blockbuster film Rock On, actress Koel Purie believes her new hair cut has brought her luck - her performance was highly appreciated and she has many offers coming her way.

"Ever since I got this new hair cut, my life has changed completely. I have so many things in my kitty and the best part is I'm enjoying every moment of it," said Koel.

"I am not superstitious, but seriously I can feel the difference. I am a very hard working person, but it never paid off. But this time, everything is just falling in place. Things are happening now," she said.

Koel has been getting calls from her friends and fans, who can't stop raving about her performance in Rock On. "It was a male-centric movie and my role was very small. I was not expecting such an overwhelming response for this role. Yet it has been noticed and I'm really happy about it," she said.

"I have been doing off-beat characters for a while now and when this offer came in, I just grabbed it because I could relate to the movie the moment I heard the script as it is all about friendship and love, which is a universal feeling," she added.

Rock On revolves round a group of four aspiring musicians who form a rock band called Magik. It is led by singer Aditya (Farhan) and has temperamental guitarist Joe Mascarenhas (Arjun Rampal), talented keyboard player Rob (Luke Kenny) and drummer Kedar Zaveri (Purab Kohli). Koel played Devika, the love interest of Purab.

Apart from her regular Bollywood assignments, the other thing that is keeping the actress busy is her talk show on news channel Headlines Today, On the Couch with Koel.

In this show, Koel takes her red couch anywhere - be it a garden, a room, a celebrity's house - and starts a conversation with a well-known personality every episode.

"The whole idea of the show is to be different. Talking to different people in different settings and places is the USP of this show. Above all, I get to do what I love the most - travelling," she said.

Koel has been in conversation with Sachin Pilot, Amar Singh, Harman Baweja, Vidya Balan, Rakhi Sawant and many others. Among all of them, Koel had an absolute riot with item girl Rakhi Sawant who, according to the show's host, is the real TRP queen.

"Having Rakhi on my show was absolute fun. She is the real drama queen and because of this, she is the nation's favourite too. You love her or you hate her, but you cannot ignore her," Koel said.

"People love her so much that she gets maximum viewership after (Railway Minister) Lalu Prasad," she quipped.

Praising the item girl for her professionalism, Koel said: "Rakhi is so professional that she came on to the sets before me and once the camera starts rolling, you see a thorough professional on screen."

Daughter of India Today group publisher Aroon Purie, Koel has worked in off-beat movies like Everybody Says I Am Fine (2002), White Noise (2005) and Mixed Doubles (2006).

Kajol will sizzle in RNBDJ…!

2008-10-03T21:35:00.000-07:00

The Kajol-Shah Rukh jodi hasn't been seen together since Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001). The industry's fav jodi are committed to Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan due 2009. However, the two will be seen together before that in Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

However, Kajol is not paired with SRK in RNBDJ, she's only doing a song. It was director Aditya Chopra's idea to rope in Kajol.

The song will be shot in Mumbai. And Kajol will appear in one of the verses of a song filmed on Shah Rukh and newcomer Anushka Sharma. The setting of the song will be a Punjabi folk event, and Kajol appears seconds before the song ends. A source says, "It will be very similar to her appearance in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. All it took was a phone call from Adi for her to say yes."

Chopra's directorial debut Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge starred SRK and Kajol in lead roles, and he was looking forward to having them together in the same frame.

SRK and Kajol have a blazing chemistry on-screen, and it is exciting for the audiences to see them together even for a few seconds. Which explains her presence in SRK starrers Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Om Shanti Om. An insider reveals, "Kajol is sentimental about working with Adi and Shah Rukh in a project after DDLJ."

Recently, Rani was shooting in Amritsar when Shah Rukh was shooting for RNBDJ, giving rise to speculation that Adi would rope in his favourite actress too for his film. However, now it's confirmed that it's Kajol and not Rani who is making a brief appearance in the film.

Gul Panag ups her sex quotient for Maxim

2008-10-03T21:32:00.000-07:00

Someone out there is resulting in some serious temperature soaring. And the young woman in question is none other than Gul Panag. We catches up with the Gul who seems to have raised quite some eyebrows as she gets hot-n-sizzling on the cover of latest issue of MAXIM.

Why now?
I know, the first question which comes to the mind of so many people out there is - 'Why is Gul being seen in such outfits on print after being in the industry for so many years?' Well, my answer is simple and straight - no one approached me to do such a shoot before! I was always game for it but then it had to be a magazine/publication of repute that could have made me say yes to getting into a night costume for a cover. Well, Maxim thought of me and I didn't have any reasons to say no!

A desperate move?
You must be kidding me! Me, getting desperate, and that too to see myself in a costume which is far less revealing than a swimming costume? Come on, give me a break! If you do a search on internet, some of the first few images would have me in a swimsuit. For someone who wore a swimsuit way back in 1999 for Miss Universe pageant, I can only laugh at the insinuation that I am being desperate. Now now now, I am not trying to be a 'born again' actress who suddenly decides to come out of a closet, leave her sari/salwar-suit behind and suddenly aim at becoming chic!

Chic, did she say?
Of course yes! Those close to me know me for what I am and I guess even the industry too has come to realize now that regardless of some of the arty roles I have done, I don't carry that garb with me in my personal life. I am a hot, hip and a sexy chic and I am proud of that. In any case I have always worn Western outfits in real life as well. So puhleeze, don't look at me with such a shocked expression on your face. I am not shocked, you shouldn't be surprised either!

Minissha Lamba joins the bikini bandwagon

2008-10-02T20:53:00.000-07:00

A much coy Minissha Lamba is going through a massive image makeover. In her soon-to-be-released Kidnap, she would be donning a bikini which certainly comes as a surprise to those who have been following her career in films like Yahaan, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd, Shaurya and Bachna Ae Haseeno.

"Well, it is shocking for quite a few people but if you ask me, I am really enjoying it all", says Minissha who has seen an eventful 2008 so far, "Seriously, I felt beautiful when I donned the bikini for Kidnap. And though people do ask me how comfortable I was with the thought of wearing a bikini, let me tell you that I was more focused on getting my body into the right shape than worrying about anything else."

Talking about her decision to join the bikini bandwagon, Minissha admits, "Yes, I have joined the bikini bandwagon. After all, not many girls are doing it even today, isn't it? In any case when you see Kidnap, you would realize that the makeover isn't for the sake of it. This was meant to be a part of the character and I was duly convinced that donning a bikini was indeed an integral part of the script."

While industry and cine-goers are definitely noticing this makeover, what were the kind of reactions that she got from people close to her - read friends and family? "We are not grown up in a conservative household and together, we watch a lot of Hollywood films", discloses Minissha, "Something like a bikini is hardly a culture shock since as a family, we are quite modern in our outlook and very progressive. In any case, everyone today understands that at the end of the day, it is just a part that you are playing for a film. The buck stops there."

By wearing a bikini for Kidnap, Minissha now joins the gang of young women who have willingly agreed to get into the costume for a Sanjay Gadhvi film. After Esha Deol (Dhoom) and Bipasha Basu (Dhoom 2), she is the new bikini girl for Gadhvi.

"And I am so very proud of that", exclaims Minissha, "When Sanjay told me that I had to go through this image change in Kidnap, I was game for it. I feel it was great to explore a new side of me. Going by the reaction that I am getting from people, I guess the experiment has indeed paid off."

Tabu Agrees To Expose For A Naughty Role

2008-10-02T20:50:00.000-07:00

In Ravi Chopra's Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai, Tabu shall be playing a naughty lawyer.

The acclaimed actress has never played a completely over the top sensuous character before and is excited to play the part in this Hollywood comedy, My Cousin Vinny's Bollywood remake.

Our source informs, "Ravi Chopra managed to convince Tabu in playing a sexy character for his next, Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai. When she was first offered the part by him she had declined it.

But after a lot of deliberation, Chopra managed to get the Namesake starlet going in for the role. The role requires Tabu to expose her body. But since the film is a comedy she won't be presented in a vulgar manner."

"The same part was earlier offered to Bollywood hotties, Bipasha Basu, Mallika Sherawat and even Sushmita Sen. But they had refused the role calling it too insubstantial. But Tabu has taken up the role as a challenge of attempting something which she has never done before in Bollywood." the source adds.

Ravi Chopra tells us, "Tabu has signed my film and will be seen playing a lawyer and fights the court case opposite Govinda. It's a dashing and challenging role."

Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai is an official remake of Oscar winning Hollywood comedy, My Cousin Vinny. The original had Joe Pesci playing a bumbling middle aged lawyer fighting his first case, a murder case, to hilarious consequences.

In solving the case he is shown aided by his girlfriend (Marisa Tomei in an Oscar winning role) and forever put to test by the public prosecutor. In Chopra's film, Govinda shall be replacing Joe Pesci whereas Lara Dutta will play his girl friend's role.

For the nasty public prosecutor's part, Chopra has decided to cast a female character instead of the male in the original which shall be enacted by Tabu.

Aishwarya Has Changed People's Taste: Preeti bhutani

2008-09-28T21:30:00.000-07:00

Some are born with acting skill others get it by their struggle. But, in both cases only those people succeed who work hard. Prity Bhutani is an actress who has made her mark through the road of struggle. Starting with Jani Dushman and Ladies Tailor she is now part of bigger films.

Her upcoming films are Khalbali Hai Khalbali, Vikalp, and Ajay Devgan starter 'Golmal hai -2' and Ek Power of Money, Presented here are excerpts from her interview:

None of your family member in in films, then how come you choose this career?
You can never imagine joining films even in dreams in my family as it is a conservative Sardar family. I belong to Faridabad and got my education at Delhi. Father is in airforce, while mother is a teacher.

Naturally no one discusses going into films. Even I did not think of joining films. I choose Commerce as my stream of education keeping in view of joining some good job.

But fate had some other plans and I did turn up in films without any grooming or formal training in film acting. However, I did participate in college dramas and did many dramas with my group even after college days.

Then I started getting modelling offers. This paved my journey to a full time career in films and came to Mumbai. My family too supported me as they saw my commitment and works.

How did you struggle in Mumbai?
I got two short films with Tanuja Chandra and working with him was no less then getting trained in some academy. I learned many things with him. Then I did some adfilms.

I also learned Kathak dancing from Jayanti Mala, daughter of Sitara Devi.But I get the ral start when I was cast opposite Sharad Kapoor in Jani Dushman. People identified me from this film due to my enchanting ways and glamorous looks.

How was the journey later on?
I started getting film offers and concentrated on films. Then I got a chance to appear with Rajpal Yadav in Ladies Tailor. Cineviewers appreciated my role as Flora in the film for her innocence.

Though the film did not succeed on box office I got a foothold in Bollywood. Since then I have never looked back. Then I did get many offers from South also.

Two of my Tamil films, Idu Kadal Varun Paruvam directed by Kastoori Raja, and Mard Valav with Super Star Arjun, have been released. I also acted in two Kannad films also.

Then why were you ignored in Bollywood?
No, this is not a fact. Getting more films from South did not mean that I got away from Hindi Films. Recently I have worked in a children film, King No.One.

I am also working in Hindi film Ek.. The Power of One produced by K.Sera and Sangeet Shravan.

Ajay Devgan is in the lead role in this film. I am opposite Zakir in Ajay Chandok directed Khalbali Hai Khalbali.

I am also doing an Item dance number in Vikalp. All these three films will be released this year and then everyone will see my glamour and acting skills.

You are a Punjabi kudi, so you must also have done some Punjabi films?
Unfortunately I have not got a chance to act in Punjabi films till now. I have not given a thought to it also. I have to work in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malyalam, and Kannad films and reach the peak of acting success.

People do like fatty girls in South, but you are slim. Did it affect your career?
South is getting a change in its tastes otherwise Aishvarya Rai would not have got entry in south. People appreciate glamour everywhere and I am at ease in this.

What is your opinion about exploitation in film industry?
It all depends on you. We do get all kinds of people in this field and there are lots of gossips going on. One has to tread cautiously in this mine field.

Pooja Bhatt open to acting offers

2008-09-25T22:18:00.000-07:00

Bollywood actress and filmmaker Pooja Bhatt who is currently in the processing of filming her next project Kajra re with Himesh Reshamiya and a Pakistani actress says that she was open to acting offers.

"Producers feel that since I have taken up filmmaking as an alternate profession, I have given up acting. But, it is not so. I am still open to good offers. But, I will not like to direct myself in my own film," Pooja who is here in connection with the South Asian Film Festival (SAFF) said.

Pooja feels that she would be a much better performer since she has experience of being behind the camera.

Zakhm, which is one of her last film as an actress was screened at the Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) complex in Goa on Saturday afternoon.

She said the film did not do well in terms of box office collection. "But, it was criticised in Saudi Arabia as an anti-Muslim film and in Mauritius it was called an anti-Hindu film," she said and added that the film won the National Award.

Speaking about Kajra re, she said it was the love story of a singer-rockstar from India and a girl from Pakistan.

"Himesh Reshamiya in the role of a rockstar looks believable. His transition from a playback singer-music composer to an actor has been smooth," Pooja added.

She said the heroine, a Pakistani actress Mona is from a redlight area whom Himesh meets in Dubai. Himesh's character has just experienced a tragedy where he has to give up his identity and start life all over again.

"The film primarily dwells on the theme that where there is love, there is no fear," she added.

Pooja Mishra is the problem!with her body

2008-09-25T22:13:00.000-07:00

She is not that a successful actress, but she has rocked a lot being a VJ, a model and a regular Page 3 celebrity. A party freak, she is quite famous amongst the celebrity groups.

Pooja Mishra is the talk of the day.

Pooja came much into limelight with her pairing with “my mobile company” and then the recent glitz ‘Jab We Talk’, a chat show on B4U channel. She became the love guru and she gets calls over

In short she is the problem solver for.

We spotted her at the ‘Zing Cafe’ lounge and had a chat with her. We asked her about her famous and seductive show, ‘Jab We Talk’ and found something interesting for our readers. The seducing actress says that instead of solving problems, she herself became the problem. This happened because most of the callers said that they were in love with her only. She even got marriage proposals from some callers. Pooja says she’s happy to know she has so many fans and is absolutely cool with people calling her and even for those who are proposing.

Now this is what we call ‘Demand of Pooja’. As the economists have said, “Demands and Supply goes hand in hand”. Unfortunately there’s just ‘Demand in this case with no Supply’

Pooja Batra ki gaadi nikal padi

2008-09-24T22:15:00.000-07:00

Her man, we hear, presented her with a flashy big car. Batra, we know, has a fascination for cars and already has two fancy ones.

After marriage, she seems to be driving in the fast lane . Actress Pooja Batra, who is here these days from the US for her birthday, got a great birthday present from her hubby.

Her man, we hear, presented her with a flashy big car. Batra, we know, has a fascination for cars and already has two fancy ones.

This, she promises us, is just as fancy. "I loved my surprise gift. It's 500 horsepower and goes from 0 to 100 kmph in 4.5 seconds! It's a mean-looking car and I love its growl. I'm so looking forward to going back to LA and revving up the engine," she smiles.

And we thought her heart was in India. "Right, but the highways are there, na!" she says almost guiltily.

Perizaad Zorabian searching for 'meaty' roles

2008-09-24T22:12:00.000-07:00

Perizaad Zorabian, who will soon be seen in three 'interesting' movies, says she only wants to do 'meaty' roles to impress her 10-month-old daughter 'once she grows up'.

"I have some interesting projects in my kitty. Moreover, now I only want to do meaty roles so that I can impress my daughter once she grows up," Perizaad said.

The actress will soon be seen in N Chandra's Breaking News, a romantic comedy Kabhi Up Kabhi Down with Sanjay Suri and Highway 203 with Kay Kay Menon.

More than the movies, Perizaad she is completely focusing on her daughter Zaha, who demands all her attention and care.

"I am virtually holidaying, as my daughter requires personal attention and care and I don't want to deprive her of my love," she added with a smile.

"I don't want to miss any moment - her smiles, cries and whatever she does. She is so adorable, cute and beautiful," the new mother gushed.

Why did she name her daughter Zaha?

"I didn't want a Parsi name for her, so we chose this Persian name that means splendour and joy. She has brought joy to our lives," the actress explained.

So, is Zaha the best thing in her life?

Perizaad smiled naughtily and replied: "No, she is the second best thing. The first great thing that has changed my life is my hubby Boman. He is so understanding."

"And the second best thing wouldn't have happened if the first best thing hadn't," she quickly added.

As for her husband Boman Irani, whom she married two years ago, Perizaad admitted there was a lot of confusion about his identity. The media initially assumed she was dating Bollywood actor Boman Irani, who is very much older than she is.

"Initially, there was a lot of confusion. People used to ask me whether I was doing a Jogger's Park in real life too," the actress winked.

In Jogger's Park (2003), the lissom Perizaad played the role of a young girl Jenny who falls in love with an elderly man played by actor Victor Banerjee.

"I had to make it clear that the person I was dating was a builder and not the actor. It's just a coincidence they share the same name. Now, the confusion is over," she added.

Perizaad began her career with Nagesh Kukunoor's Bollywood Calling (2001) and, apart from Jogger's Park, has also featured in movies such as Mumbai Matinee and Morning Raga.

Nikita: In kick-ass shape

2008-09-23T21:07:00.000-07:00

After Shilpa Shetty's 'yogic' success, upcoming actress Nikita Anand seems to be head over heels for the magic of 'nature's remedies' like Yoga and spiritual healing. The former Miss India who made a mark with last year's sleeper hit Dil Dosti Etc. has been practising the 'back to nature' philosophy following her association with the Dhyan Foundation, under the guidance of Yogi Ashwini.

"Its all about the 'science' of spiritual healing; an ideal path towards achieving a peaceful and stable existence," says Nikita. "'The basic purpose of the spiritual healing process is to give a perspective on how one should lead his or her life, especially the way one goes about doing things in day-to-day life," she adds.

after undergoing such 'pranic healing', Nikita has experienced a lot of change in her. "It feels good. But the biggest impact of my association with the Foundation is that it has given me an opportunity to reach out to the people who make us what we are,"' she says.

Nikita's association with Dhyan Foundation and Yogi Ashwini began a few years ago when she came in contact with them in connection with various social causes she was involved with. "A lot of social work is being done by the foundation – from adopting a leper colony, organising camps for Polio and meals for the poor," informs Nikita, who is now the ambassador of the foundation.

Asked how she managed to find time for her activities with the Dhyan Foundation amid her busy shooting schedules with two of her films 'Monopoly' and 'Ek Second - Jo Zindagi Badal De' currently on floors, she says, "If one is committed to a cause, it is not difficult to find time. In any case, I am not the only one from the tinsel world to be associated with social activities. A lot of celebrities are involved in charity work or associated with a social cause, but do not talk about it."

"Kudos to Navneet for performing a demanding role with considerable ease," praises director Sanjeeva who also lauded the compositions of Vandemataram Srinivas. Glam to action, a good transition indeed!

Nandana Sen's provocative scene gets cut!

2008-09-21T21:06:00.000-07:00

In Ketan Mehta's new movie with Randeep Hooda, Rang Rasiya, there was a scene which clearly showed Nandana Sen's voluptuous breasts. But the key word here is 'was' because - sorry, guys - the censor has cut it. However, there's guaranteed to still be plenty more to see in a Ketan Mehta movie. He's the not-exactly prolific director who brought us Bhavni Bhavai, Mirch Masala and of course Mangal Pandey: The Rising.

Nandana is the daughter of Nobel-prize winning Economist Amartya Sen, famous for his work on micro credit which has revolutionized rural development in South Asia. She has a very interesting film call, having appeared in Black, where she played Rani Mukherjee's sister, Tango Charlie, My Wife's Murder, Marigold and Strangers.

In some ways, Nandana is a bit of a misfit in Bollywood, coming from an internationally acclaimed academic family and having traveled extensively all her life. Does she find this a problem? "It doesn't really matter where I come from. What matters is how I connect with audiences," she says, "I'm not from a film family, not from Mumbai, didn't know anyone here. I didn't know how to go about making a career in Bollywood. But I was determined to do what came naturally to me."

Revenge, rage, fire, destructions, enmity, hatred, and love! Love is the key player and the rest plays supporting roles. Love remains at the bottom; unuttered, silent, the others make noise. Love makes the forbidden line and dares to cross the line, too. However, there is no such forbidden line for director Ahmed Khan to show such extravagant drama in his directorial debut 'Lakeer'. Basically Ahmed Khan is a choreographer. After Farah Khan, he will be the second choreographer-turned-director in the Mumbai film industry. Although in some song sequences, there is some brilliant touch of Ahmed Khan, popular for choreographing songs of 'Rangeela', the Paro…. Number from 'Shastra' and 'Sundara Sundara…. From 'Rakshak', but it's not a masterpiece of his choreography. 'Lakeer' is mainly an action film. It has violence of high degree. Almost every characters of this film are revengeful. Producer Vivek Kumar in a recent interview said that action films are his forte. He loves violence in film. "I see no harm in watching maar-dhad on the big screen" After all the entire story idea of 'Lakeer' is Sunny Deol's. So how can director Ahmed Khan concentrate on choreography only when action is the first and last choice?

One of Madhur Bhandarkar's boldest scenes from his upcoming film Fashion has met with strong objection from the Censor Board, according to Mumbai Mirror. A few days ago, Madhur showed the promos of the film to the Board, and was told to tone down the steamy sex scene between Priyanka Chopra and newcomer Arjan Bajwa.

Madhur will have to either get an 'A' certificate or edit the scene, because it has turned out extremely steamy. The Censor Board thought the filmmaker had used too many explicit visuals of the actors making love.

The scene has been shot from multiple angles and was shown four times in the promos. It is very bold in which Arjan and Priyanka are lying on a bed and Arjan is shown kissing Priyanka's back.

There were also reports that Priyanka was initially hesitant to enact the scene with Arjan. However, the film's unit members say it has turned out extremely hot and that Priyanka looks tremendously sexy in it.
