Want a degree??get one Now!!

2013-03-17T14:10:00.001-07:00

Here at BlogBuster™ we already have written a few posts to warn you on many scams so here's just one more Pay some bucks and earn a "accredited" degree and increase your chances for a job! Picture Perfect all sounds real nice but unfortunately it isn't. These are the lines which scam websites out there use and prey you into actually "buying" a degree!These fake sites are reffered to as "Diploma Mills".Some other tactics used by them are : A good-looking website An Institution name which seems geniune and is similar to prestegious universities. Claim that degree is legal and accredited by xyz accrediting agency,the truth being that the agency they claim has accredited their degrees is itself fake and does not exist! Claim that your degree is "Experience Based" and some have even designed so-called experience evaluation tests to make sure they do not look fake.but the fact being that its all your money they are after! You select what degree do want(a master or Ph.D for instance)isnt that funny??and a evidence enough. After you pay you mostly do not get anything at all!and in case you do, your "degree" is just a piece of paper wasted badly as it is illegal and not authentic at all! These diploma mils do not exist anywhere physicaly and are benifited by soft cyber crime laws (if any) in most of the countries. For more details have a look en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unaccredited_institutions_of_higher_education So be careful and have fun online © Kapil Singh.

3G Music Review

2013-03-17T14:08:00.001-07:00

3G is a suspense thriller starring Neil NitenMukesh and Sonal Chauhan.Here's the BlogBuster™ Music Review Music : Mithoon Upfront is "Kaise Bataun" by ever dependable KK and debutant Sonal Chauhan. The Song is a slow romantic number with a fresh feel to it.Bravo! The Cantabelle Version of this song by Abhishek Nailwal is an accapela song worh a listen Then comes "Khalbali" song that starts slowly but picks up a massy tune sung brilliantly by Tochi Raina, Arijit Singh, and Shilpa Rao. A special mention for some amazing lyrics too. The Punjabi version of this track though doesnt add much with the same beat and tune,it is sung well by Tochi Raina And Finally comes "Bulbuliya"which has Adnan Sami behind the mike.it's been a while adnan sang for bollywood(last in RUSH) but he does full justice to this dark-feel track infact his voice sounds quite fresh aided again by some above-par lyrics.Way to go!! Rating : 4/5 Verdict: " Usually expectations from music of supernatural thriller B-Town movies is low but this one is a music album above par.Young Mithoon(featured previously in The Train and Murder 2)does an outstanding job. Picks : Kaise Bataun,Khalbali, Bulbuliya © Kapil SINGH. Share your comments with us too.

"Incompetence frustrates me" - Sonakshi Sinha

2013-03-17T14:03:00.001-07:00

Folks its time to get up close and personal with the sensational Sonakshi Sinha. So here ve go Q. When did you realise that you were a pretty girl? I didn’t realise it till I was about 21. Having always been on the heavier side, it never occurred to me that I was pretty. Whenever I looked in the mirror,all Isaw was a fat girl. But it never bogged me down. I was confident. My interests lay in fashion designing. Q. When did you first feel the need to lose weight? Before Dabangg happened. I was often told, ‘You have such a pretty face why don’t you lose weight?’ But I was happy the way I was. Later, for health reasons, I began working out and lost weight. Q: Your First Crush?? He was my classmate, my partner. He’d constantly tease me for being fat. But for some reason I liked him. I was shy and never let my feelings show. Once he came to know I liked him, he started teasing me all the more to get me off his back. Q. While fans love your generous form, detractors slam it... I have faced this all my life. People have hardly referred to me by my name. They have called me moti, fatty, bhens (buffalo)… But it doesn’t bother me. Five people out of a hundred calling me overweight doesn’t get me less work. My weight’s perfect for my age, height and body type. Q. Where, according to you, lies your sex- appeal? It lies in the fact that I’m so comfortable with myself. Also in my eyes I guess. (Laughs) They have been talked about, songs have been written on them… Tere mast mast do nain (Dabangg). Also, I have an expressive face which I use to my advantage. Q. You are accused of being politically correct. What’s wrong if I am? Yes, I am today’s girl. I do like being direct about things. But to some extent I am diplomatic because of the profession I am in. If I say anything out of turn, it will be sensationalised as headlines.

Q. Would you look for your father in your man? No! I want someone without a moustache. I don’t want a muchiwala. Q. What would you want him to possess? Your instinct will tell you whether the person is good for you or not. I’d like a person with a good sense of humour, someone taller than me and someone who can hold a conversation. Q. What is it that you can’t stand in a man? I don’t like men who show off their Rolex watches and fancy cars. I don’t like materialistic men. Q. What would be a deal breaker? Disrespecting me in any form.Making me feel lesser than him. Cheating on me would also be disrespecting me. Q. Would you go to the extent of keeping tabs on your partner? I don’t have the patience to keep tabs on a man. I’d confront him if I doubted his fidelity. And if he confessed to it, I’d say bye bye. Q. Do you cry easily? What’s funny is I don’t cry when I am sad. I cry when I am angry. Incompetence frustrates me. © Kapil Singh.

Salman Khan:A Dabbang Chat.

2013-03-17T14:01:00.001-07:00

At BlogBuster™ we strive to bring you the absolute best from the web all in one place so that you forget searching! As a part of Celebrity Interviews series we now Proudly present an interview with the amazing Salman Khan. He has several films in his kitty that have joinedthe Rs.100-crore club and thanks to them, Salman Khan’s films are perceived as high- yielding projects. But his feet are on the ground and he knows how to handle success, the star says. Salman’s “Dabangg”, “Bodyguard”, “Ready” “Ek Tha Tiger”, and “Dabangg 2″ grossed more than Rs.100 crore at the box office and now producers are making high-stake investments in the star, who says: “I am so used to it (success) by now that I know exactly how I need to take it.” “I know this is all superficial… I know this is my profession and my work and I get paid for it. But apart from that, it does not go into my head. It’s like a nine-to- five job,” Does losing success scare him? “We know that is going to happen. It’s just that how hard you can work to keep it going. How long you can see the distance between the fans and the hero increasing is important,” said the 47-year- old. A brand in himself, Salman has experienced failure, but in the last five years, he has become one of the most bankable stars in tinsel town. His movies are a hit even before they release. “I don’t get nervous (before the release of films). I just pray that the hard work, which we put in, shows. Mentally, you are the same, but you worry that you haven’t lost the plot or the character you have played,” said Salman who has featured in about 90 films in the last 25 years. Starting out as a romantic hero with “Maine Pyar Kiya”, he did many action films too. In fact, his last few releases were only action films. He feels action works only if it is backed by emotions. “Till the time action is not backed by emotion, it doesn’t work. In my films, there is action, but there is a lot of romance and emotion as well. In ‘Dabangg 2′, relationship between husband-wife and father-son are shown. But as all the action scenes are put in the promo, it looks like an action film…but actually it is not,” he said. His movie schedules, TV assignment as host of “Bigg Boss 6″ and brand endorsements keep him busy. What about personal time? “I have lots of time. Why would anyone want to have time for themselves? You are 24 hours with yourself,” he said. Salman is known for his tiffs with star Shah Rukh Khan but was seen defending him on “Bigg Boss 6″ when Imam Siddique, one of the contestants, claimed to have contributed to his success. “If anyone has become something, it is because of his dedication. We have no right to put somebody down. We don’t get along at all, but what is not right is not right. The fact that SRK comes out of his house and goes to work provides so many people with work…so who are you to take credit for that?” said Salman who doesn’t let his problems with Shah Rukh bother him much. With success at his feet, Salman’s desire is to work harder and make sure unsung heroes in the industry get their due too. “I want to work a little harder. I just hope that the other people are also as interested as I am…not in the heroes, but the people in our team,” he said. © KAPIL SINGH.

"The most important factor for success is hard work" AKSHAY KUMAR.

2013-03-17T13:58:00.001-07:00

A BlogBuster ™ exclusive take on Khilaadi of Bollywood. the excrepts: He’s known to go mushy over his daughter Nitara (born on September 25) whom he has named Nitara Khanna Bhatia in loving memory of his exalted father-in-law, Rajesh Khanna. He beams at the mention of Nitara. I want to know0 whom she resembles, Twinkle or him but he shrugs that off saying she’s too young for such comparisons. A new baby usually alters the parents’ schedule, but Akshay’s routine is unaffected. “I’ve always worked only for eight hours a day.I sleep for eight hours and spend the rest of the day at home. I spend a lot of time with Nitara.” Her birth has lifted the pall of grief over the Khanna-Bhatia family after the demise of Rajesh Khanna. Akshay has fond memories of the icon whom he had grown up idolising. He says Khanna’s memories will never fade away. “He lives in our hearts, our minds. You only remember those you forget. He was India’s first superstar. Throughout the day, we see him somewhere or the other. Turn on the TV, and you’ll see his songs or his movies on some channel or the other. We’ve put up a large portrait of him at home.” His father-in-law was like a friend to him. And one trait that he hugely liked in the star was that he treated life like a party and didn’t need a reason to celebrate. “Someone told me, ‘Bhaiya, I guess you won’t be celebrating Diwali this year as your father-in-law has passed away.’ I replied, ‘We will definitely celebrate Diwali. My father-in-law’s entire life was one big celebration. He celebrated the smallest of things. He’d party for a friend’s birthday; he’d party for any good thing that may have happened during the day. Something good would happen every day, so he partied every day! So, yes we did celebrate Diwali in his memory.” Incidentally, after Rajesh Khanna’s demise, his bungalow Aashirwad was renamed Vardaan Aashirwad. Akshay cuts off the conspiracy theories with a curt, “Because my mother-in-law (Dimple Kapadia) wished so,” and tells me to move on to the next question. Any attempt to question him on the recent development when RajeshKhanna’s live- in companion Anita Advani filed a legal suit is met with a stony glance from Akshay. Time to change the topic then, I’m curious to know as to why he’s returned to the Khiladi tag after donkey’s years. Last month, the eighth film in the Khiladi series, Khiladi 786, directed by Ashish R Mohan was released. The curiouser fact is that Akshay made the film in partnership with nasal wonder Himesh Reshammiya. He doesn’t see anything unusual in the relationship and says it was based on mutual trust and admiration. “The greatest ingredient in every Khiladi movie is fun. It must entertain and have great action and music. Himesh came up with some zany tunes which were well received. He even suggested this title for the film, which symbolises a man blessed by God and I agreed.” It may be recalled that the Khiladi blitzkrieg began with Khiladi in 1992 and was followed by Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Sabse Bada Khiladi, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, Mr And Mrs Khiladi, International Khiladi and Khiladi 420. Akshay had never fathomed that one day the Khiladi franchise would be his. “When you’re at the beginning of your career, how can you predict the future course? Even your father can’t foretell it! What’s more, even a pandit (astrologer) can’t foresee what’s going to happen in his life two years down the line,” smiles Akshay. It’s suprising that Akshay’s still glued to the action genre and doesn’t get tired of pulling punches after all this while. He reminds me that he did take a breather for some years after son Aarav was born. “I did the maximum number of action movies by 2000. In 2001, I got married (to Twinkle Khanna) and in 2002 my son Aarav was born. I took a sabbatical from action and focussed on comedy, emotions and drama and stopped performing risk- involving stunts.” He’s returned to action with Rowdy Rathore this year. It’s been a comeback year of sorts for the stars in more ways than one. He’s given back-to- back hits like Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore and Oh My God! and cemented a place in the 100 crore walk of fame. Akshay says he remains unperturbed by the expectation of turning every film into a 100 crore blockbuster. “I just do my job. I am under no such pressure or tension. I had come here with just five thousand in my pocket,” he waxes philosophical. “But yes, I am under pressure to reach the sets on time, to finish my work on time. I make sure that my producer isn’t under any duress. I am a producer’s actor, a director’s actor. Where success or failure is concerned, it all depends on the audience.” Another remarkable thing is that Akshay has steered clear of camps and controversies. “I don’t live in a camp. I live in a home,” he jests adding, “The most important factor for success is hard work. Also, seek your parents’ blessings, God’s blessings and move ahead. There is nothing bigger than that in the world.” When quizzed whether relationships in the industry are really as fake as shown in films like Luck By Chance and Page 3 and more recently Heroine, Akshay turns defensive about the film fraternity, “Some relationships are sincere just as there are fake ones too, though the latter abound. Forget showbiz; take builders, doctors or people in any other profession, there are genuine and pretentious relationships everywhere. It’s wrong to point fingers only at the industry.” The talk veers back to parenthood and Akshay tells me about the bond he shared his dad, Hari Om Bhatia. “I enjoyed watching films with my dad. I’ve grown up watching commercial cinema - Dharmatma, Sholay, Naseeb, Amar Akbar Anthony...” This explains his penchant for masala fare. He says he makes it a point to watch every commercial release. “Whether it’s a Yash Chopra or a Kanti Shah film, I make it a point to watch it in theatres. The audiences’ live reactions tell you what they enjoy and what they don’t. I have a show booked on Friday or Saturday evening.” He cattily says he doesn’t like attending premieres. One reason is that he doesn’t like late nights. The other he says is because, “People just sit there, all dressed up, without giving genuine reactions. No one laughs or cry at such affairs. This is unfair to the film.” The next shot is ready and Akshay iscalled to do what he does best— bash up the baddies. I watch the action for a while before taking my leave. Because, as he says, I’d rather watch him dishing it out to the goons in upcoming films Special Chhabbees, Once UponTime In Mumbaai Again and Boss in the comfort of the theatres with a special pack of gur and chana for company. That’s certainly comfort food for thought. © Kapil Singh.

A chit-chat with the newbie Alliia Bhatt,She talks about fashion styling and brands a must read for girls by BlogBuster™ Q. One must-have item in your wardrobe... My shoes. At the moment, my new Steve Madden shoes. They are the highest pair of heels I own. And my recent obsession is my new Prada bag. Q. One unbreakable fashion rule...

Your ultimate style icon... Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor are always well turned out and have a great sense of style. Anne Hathaway is an inspiration too.

It’s difficult to name only two. I like Manish Malhotra’s bridal and Indian wear. The babydoll cut dress he made me wear in The disco song (Student Of The Year) was gorgeous. He’s fabulous. I also like Marc Jacobs and Roberto Cavalli. Q. Your biggest fashion faux pas moment... I’ve not had one yet. Thank God! Q. Jeans or dresses I love dresses. I hardly wear jeans. © K.S.

The Dumbest Questions on Y! Answers.

2013-03-17T13:54:00.001-07:00

God bless the Internet. Where else can you assume a fake identity, pose the most inane question imaginable--like "Why can't I see my reflection in the mirror on a television? "--and then sit back and watch the answers pour in? Crowd-source advice sites like Yahoo Answers have become a bit of a magnet for the maladjusted. Sure, there are plenty of average Joes just looking for ordinary information. But among the sites' many mundane queries, there's a sea of jaw-droppingly dumb discussions guaranteed to amaze and entertain. I spent some time surfing through Yahoo Answers to find the worst of the worst, and boy did I find it. The spelling, grammar, and punctuation are all as found in the original queries--because why put lipstick on a dodo? So let's take a look at the vital questions of our time, as posed by some of the deepest thinkers out there, along with the best answers I could come up with... 1. Backward Thinking "I sold my only car to help pay for gas money, but now gas has come down in price. How do I get my car back?" I tried to contact this guy, but it turns out that he also sold his computer to help pay for his Internet connection. 2. It's Caps Lock--Capisce? "HOW DO I TURN OFF CAPSLOCK? I ACCIDENTALLY TURNED IT ON YESTERDAY AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO TURN IT BACK OFF." Note to self: Register howtoturnoffcapslock.com; make millions! 3. Credit Crunch "I wanted to see if my computer would read my credit card so i put it in the cd rom and it got stuck, how do i get it out?? I tryed toothpics but lost them in the process?? also the drive is making noises" Oh, that's normal. Your system is just waiting for you to pay the required $1 processing fee for scanning the card. Simply fold a greenback into a tiny square and insert it into any USB port. 4. Mousin' Around "My mouse stop working every time i lift it up from the table why is this? this is not just OS .i have linux and vista both same thing so its not drivers" Yeah, no big deal there, either: Insert your credit card into the CD-ROM drive and tell your computer--slowly and distinctly--that you need the Air Mouse 3000 upgrade. You'll be good in no time. 5. Technical Difficulties "I've been asked to write an application in my own handwriting....? is there a computer programme that will do this for me? they also want original ideas. do you know any?" This reminds me of a letter to the editor I once read years ago: "Are there any undiscovered islands left in the world?" The response: "Not that we know of." 6. It's All in the Details "I have an assignment about computer.. What is unimportant details about computer?" Wait a minute--does this assignment also require original ideas? 7. Unknown Nuptials "Am i married in any state? have i been divorced?" I'll take "questions asked after a night in Vegas" for $500, Alex. 8. A Sticky Subject "Where can i buy a really big jar of peanut butter?" If this is from the same guy who asked the previous question, I'm getting concerned. 9. Fruit Frets "I have ate two whole tangerines in about two hours what will happen to me?" That all depends on whether you swallowed any seeds. If you did, be very careful not to eat any dirt or drink any water for the next two weeks. 10. Fat Chance "How do i become obese fast? I want to look good by the end of the year." You can start by eating two tangerines in two hours. Then run around in circles until you figure out what "obese" means. © Kapil Singh. BlogBuster™ and PC World.

"I’m cool with live-in relationships." - Parineeti Chopra

2013-03-17T13:50:00.001-07:00

You liked her and adored her.check out a close chat with the hottest debutant around.Lets Hear It then. Q. What attracts you to a man? I have three requirements. The first thing that attracts me is a sense of humour. I like to believe that I have a great sense of humour. So, if he makes me laugh, I automatically notice him. Secondly, he needs to let me be myself. I hate it whenbpeople tell me what to do. When people tell me what to say, how to sit or what to wear I just want to slap them. If he tries to change me he is out. Thirdly, he has to smell good. If he isn’t wearing good perfume he can just leave. Q. If your partner isn’t too fit is that a problem? Not at all. Look at me do I look fit to you? In fact, if he’s little fat it would feel so much better to hug him. Q. Do you like a midnight snack? Yes I love it. I eat full meals in the middle of the night. Specially pizzas. I hate to cook. I can’t cook to save my life. I love the fast food system. I just want food to be delivered so all I have to do is eat it. Q. Now that you are an actress do you have a diet or a fitness regime? Are you crazy? I hate fitness regimes. But if someone asks me to lose weight for a role then I’d do it happily. During Ishaqzaade I had to be fit because of my role but even then I used to cheat all the time. I love sweets. That’s one thing I can’t stop. Q. How do you deal with crazy fans? I’ve never had a crazy fan incident yet. On Twitter people write to me saying that they love me. I try to reply to them. Sometimes people also spam you on social networks. One must just ignore them. Q. Your idea of a perfect date? I don’t like clichéd romances. I don’t like the gifts and flowers nonsense. I hate when boys offer to take me out for dinner. I’ll slap them. I like it simple. You come to my house or I’ll come to your house and we will sit, watch TV and order pizza. Q. What is the cheesiest pick-up line used on you? I’ve been on the receiving end of the worst pick-up line ever. So this guy approaches me and says, ‘Did it hurt?’ I’m like, ‘What?’ and then he says, ‘When you dropped from the sky.’ I wanted to break his face. Q. What is your take on adoption? I’d love to adopt a child. I want to have lots of children. I might not be able to conceive all of them. So I’ll adopt. Q. How spontaneous are you as a person? Personally, I’m crazy and I can say and do anything. Professionally, I don’t have the knowhow of things. There I go by my gut. I’m just blessed that I’m surrounded by people who help me take these decisions. Q. What do you think of live-in relationships? I’m totally cool with live-in relationships. If you are in a relationship it is normal to meet your partner when the day ends. If you’re tired you’ll end up sleeping in his house and return to yours in the morning. Even if you do that three or four times a week that for me is a live-in relationship. I don’t have to take my suitcase and change my address to call it that. The dynamics of live-in relations are confusing. You’re either sleeping with the person or you’re not. Q. What do you think of infidelity? It’s unacceptable. I’m not saying this because it’s politically correct, but because I’ve never had a fling or a one- night stand. I’ve been in a couple of serious relationships. I’d never be able to forgive someone who was unfaithful to me. Q. What has been your biggest splurge? I’ve just done the interiors of my house that turned out to be quite expensive. And I just booked a first class ticket for my international travel four hours before the flight. I’ve never spent so much in one go ever. Q. One habit you want to get rid of? I bite the skin on my fingers and I want to stop that. It’s an ugly habit. Q. What are your fetishes? I have a fetish for hand towels. (Laughs) I have 300 million of them. Every time I go to buy stuff I buy towels for sure. I have a cupboard full of towels. Q. Your favourite Punjabi dish? Has to be rajma, baingan ka bharta and boneless kadhai chicken. Q. Is flirting healthy? Yes it is. And so much fun too. When you’re flirting you’re feeling nice and beautiful. That’s why you’re doing it. May be the person’s remarks make you feel confident at that time. Q. Any regrets in life? I wish I’d studied films and decided earlier to be an actress. I’m 24 butI believe I could have started a little earlier. Q. One thing that your parents nag you about… Oh God! I can name 1200. But the major one is that I don’t call them or stay in touch for days. Sometimes, I don’t return calls for a couple of days. Also, though I’m not a big spender, I’m loose with money. Q. What would you prefer to keep handy in your bag - pepper spray or brass knuckles? Neither. I’m enough. Q. Best gift you’ve ever received… A couple of years ago I was talking to a friend and told him how I love the TV series Friends. He actually went ahead and got me the whole collection of 10 seasons. It cost 10, 000 which still is a lot of money. He also bought me the entire Friends’ books. Now I have a whole Friends corner in my house thanks to him. Q. One fashion faux pas that you distinctly remember… It was irresponsible on my part but once I wore an outfit where my undergarments were showing. All the fashion websites and channels went to town about it. Q. One thing that brings a smile on your face… Music. Any genre, any time. Music is my weakness. Q. Who’s your 4 am friend? Maneesh Sharma is a 4 am friend. Uday Chopra is also someone I can call that late. But I’m closer to Maneesh than I am to Uday. Actually, I can even call up my mother. She’s an insomniac. Q. Your take on augmentation? If you think you need augmentation and doing it makes you happy then why not. I’m scared of hospitals so I don’t think I’ll ever choose that option. I could have easily gone and removed all my fat. If someone wants their nose to look bigger, then why not! It’s a privilege service why not use it. © Kapil Singh BlogBuster™ Specials.

"SOTY is the most stylish film." - Sidharth Malhotra

2013-03-17T13:48:00.001-07:00

The newest hunk in B-town speaks about his personal fashion and favourites. One must-have item in your wardrobe... V-neck t-shirts. White and black in particular. I like solid colours. Q. One unbreakable fashion rule... My t-shirts should fit my shoulders well, otherwise they look bad. I never wear loose, ill-fitted ones. Q. One brand you swear by... Zara. Their fits are perfect. Q. The most stylish movie of all time... (Winks) Student Of The Year (SOTY). Q. Your ultimate style icon... I’ve grown up watching Mr Bachchan. (Smiles) I’ve got long arms like him. I loved the jackets and trench coats he sported in Yash Chopra’s films. I watch a lot of British and American TV shows. Happy Days was one of my favourites. I admired the style of a character named Fonzie (Henry Winkler) on the show. He’d wear the most amazing leather jackets and jeans. At some point, even my haircut was like his. Q. Name two of your favourite designers... Tarun Tahiliani. Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna make amazing jackets. Q. Your biggest fashion faux pas moment... During a fashion show, I wore the wrong garment on the ramp. Everyone wore the first set and I wore the third. (Laughs) The designer’s assistant gave me the wrong change. So I was the odd one out. Q. Jeans or shorts? Blue, straight-fit, low-waist jeans. I don’t like boot-cuts. © Kapil SINGH. BlogBuster™

Rensil D’Silva’s Unglee will release in August next year. Q. Shruti: Which has been your most challenging role till date? My role in Shanghai. I had to put on a lot of weight for it.

Radhiah: Do you rely on the Bhatts (Mahesh and Mukesh) to stay afloat in the industry? I don’t rely on the Bhatts. We share a good synergy. Your team needs to be good to be successful. Q.

Sahar: What do you think of Vidya Balan? She’s a fantastic actress and a professional star. Stay for more fun BlogBuster™ Exclusive

"Ranveer makes me feel special" - Deepika Padukone

2013-03-17T13:41:00.001-07:00

Deepika Padukone is been all success as his recent venture Race 2 did well on the box office.Here though the sexy and seductive actress goes personal BlogBuster™ is all ears. Q. Rumours about Ranveer Singh and you refuse to die down… I’m single. I’m not in the frame of mind to be in a relationship. I get too involved when I’m in a relationship. I don’t know whether it’s a problem or a good thing. But I don’t know how to be with someone and not be attached. I’m in a phase in my career where I feel I may not be able to do justice to both - my relationship and my career. My career is going well. I don’t want anything to take away from that. I’ve met too many interesting people in the last six months. But I haven’t given it a chance. And I feel sad about it because every girl feels complete in a relationship. You want love, you want that one person you can depend upon, who you can talk to complain to, who you can nag. At least I’m that kind of person. If I get into that space again, it’ll take away from my work. I’m so driven about my career that I may not be able to give the person my complete attention. So it would be unfair to both. Q. But everyone is talking about the fact that you’re seeing him… If that’s what everyone is talking about then so be it. That’s not going to change my equation with him. He’s a wonderful person. He has the ability to walk into a room and make you feel like you’re the most important person in the world. And it’s not just with people he knows. He could be meeting someone for the first time and make him feel like they’re best friends. That’s God given. That’s why he gets so much love. We’re in a similar space in terms of our age, where we’re coming from in our lives. There’s a lot of similarity between us, he doesn’t come from a film background. He’s also relatively new to the industry. We have a great time together. He makes me laugh a lot. He makes me feel special. That’s it. If I’m in a relationship, I’ll talk about it. Q. People say he broke up with Anushka Sharma because of you… I’ve always believed, given my experience and I could be wrong, that no third person can ever come in between two people. There must be something wrong between the two that has caused them to not be together. I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about relationships in general. I’m talking from my own experience. You can’t blame a third person. Because if everything is okay with your relationship and if the two people really really want to be together then no one can come in between them. I think they were a beautiful couple. I don’t know what they shared; I don’t know what they share today. I’m someone who believes in love. It makes me happy when I see two people in love. Why they broke up, I don’t know. But I would be happy if they got back. Q. There’s also been talk about animosity between you and Anushka? She’s supposed to have made some comments against you. You were friendly at onepoint. Honestly, there’s no change in the way I feel for her. If there’s been a change in the way she feels for me then I don’t know. She’s someone I’m fond of and will always wish her well. I don’t know whether she said something about me or whether she’s been misquoted. If the equation between us has changed then I don’t know why or when this has happened. I’ve always had a friendly equation with Anushka. I’ve known her since my modelling days. I’ve always been fond of her and still am. Q. You say you’re single. Are you ready to mingle? I don’t know how to mingle. It’s black and white for me. It’s all organic. I may think a lot of things today. But the heart does its own thing. So folks thats all for now stay connected. © Kapil Singh.

"I've been thrown out of my house" - SRK

2013-03-17T13:38:00.001-07:00

He is the undisputed King, The self-made Baadshah of Bollywood narates his journey Shah Rukh Khan, the commoner who became king, looks back at his 20- year-old career with humour and affection. BlogBuster™ unravels the rags-to-riches story Q. Jab Tak Hai Jaan is a huge success, potential blockbusters are in your kitty, you have won the IPL, conquered the ad world… what next? A lot of people ask me this question – what else is there for me to achieve? So, if I say 22 crores, 11 Filmfare Awards and one National Award, does that mean after I achieve them, it’s the end for me? If it ends, it means it’s tangible. I’ve seen it all – money, fame and name; as a matter of fact I can retire now. But does it make sense? There are fools who ask Sachin Tendulkar when he will retire. No one thought it was possible to score 100 centuries; but he got them. And maybe he’ll make 500 more. Why are we limiting him after he’s made 100 centuries? I was a lower middle class boy from Delhi when I moved to Mumbai. I had ` 1500 in my pocket and wanted to become big enough to earn a lakh. After I began working, I realised there’s no end line. I believe that money has nothing to do with your personal success. On the face of it, I’m the biggest capitalist of all. I have all the riches. I’m the living proof of what stardom should be in material terms. But I’ve never sold my soul. Q. What do you mean when you say you’ve never sold your soul? I’ve not done anything which I didn’t want to do. I’ve not done films for money. I’m not saying this with arrogance but I’ve never asked for a film. Atimes I have called up a person if I liked his film but I’ve never asked for a film. Q. Is it wrong to ask for a film? It’s not about being right or wrong. When I meet young actresses I learn a lot from them. It’s amazing how they manage their careers. I’ve always been close to all my heroines but I’ve never had career discussions with them. Madhuri (Dixit), Juhi (Chawla), Kajol and I were all retarded in our own ways. I don’t know whether it’s for the better or worse. But I appreciate today’s girls. The world has changed and they have adapted to it. We always have this discussion whether it’s okay to ask for a job. I haven’t done it. But it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It just means that I didn’t like doing it and hence I haven’t sold my soul. On the other hand, I do every ad that I’m offered. I do it for money. But there have been days when I have told my manager that I don’t want to work with a certain person even if he/she is paying me loads of money. I never work with people who don’t make me happy. I don’t watch others’ films if they don’t make me happy. I don’t watch my own films if they don’t make me happy. That may sound silly and arrogant but I’m like that. So, if I don’t like you, I won’t do your film. Q. Is this attitude just limited to your profession? No. You could be my son but I won’t do the film. I’ll not ask my son for anything. If he feels like, he can give me. I should get it without asking. Similarly, with films. I don’t think like ‘this is the need of the hour’. Is it bread and butter for me? Films were never bread and butter for me. I’m categorically honest about it. My bread and butter is dancing at weddings. I ask for my bread and butter. I remember, I was dancing at a wedding and I told the host to ask me to dance when the couple has their first baby. This is my job. I’ll ask for it. I’ll ask for ads. I don’t look down upon anyone who asks for a job. It takes guts to ask. But movies are not a job for me. People who consider films as a job should ask for it. There’s a difference between job and work. You ask for jobs while work you just do. I work towards making my children happy. I work towards making my daughter a writer. I do it from my heart. It’s not a job to look after my children. It’s something spiritual for me. My mother taught me to be the giver. One day I might fall from grace and ask for a job but till then I’ll continue doing only what I like. I want to die making films. Roll, camera, action and gone. I’ll be happy if that happens. My family will also be happy if that happens. My kids will be the happiest. Q. Judging by whatever you are saying, money isn’t your thing. Right? I hate talking money. I detest it. I have built an empire but I can’t talk money. I’m told by my people that it would have been 10 times bigger an empire had I asked for money. But I know, if I had asked, instead it would have been 10 times smaller. It may sound arrogant but kings don’t ask. Even if it’s the media who calls me the king, I believe it and that’s why I don’t ask. Even a poverty stricken king will never ask. If people ask him for something he’ll give his flesh and blood. I’m from a poor family. I’ve seen the worst. My father was dying and we couldn’t afford the expensive injections. My aunt used to send them from London. But if the course was of 20 injections, we managed only eight. So I’ll never know whether he died because we didn’t have the money or he died because he had to. I come from a place where there was less to eat. I’ve had watery dal and survived. I was sent letters from the school threatening to throw me out because my fees were not paid. Mom and dad would collect change lying below the mattresses and pay for my education. Because I have seen so much poverty, I don’t yearn for money. I can spend all of it in one go. My wife scolds me for this. I spend crores at the drop of a hat – for films, for charity. You ask for money and I’ll give it to you. Q. On the contrary, having seen poverty, doesn’t it make you value money more? That’s what my wife keeps telling me. But the fact that I didn’t have money before will ensure it won’t make a difference if I don’t have money now. The only fear is that my children should never be without a house. If you have a house and education, the world is at your feet. If you don’t have a job and money, at least you’ll have a roof to sleep and cry under. I’ve slept on the roads. There have been times I’ve been thrown out of my house because we couldn’t pay the rent. I have been on the roads twice. I tell all the young heroines to please buy a house. I feel happy when they come and tell me that they have actually bought a house. People will always remember me for Mannat. It belittles my other achievements but it’s okay. Beyond your house, whatever you get is value addition. As they say you’re not going to eat money and the food won’t taste better if you eat from a silver plate. I eat the same food, I wear the same clothes. I have four pairs of jeans. How much ever people may think differently of me, I’m exactly the way I was 20 years ago. Q. How do you manage such a big empire with indifference towards money? My accountant runs my house. I hate him though. He dies to sit with me. He tries all possible tricks to get five minutes with me. If he wasn’t there, I’d know nothing. I don’t even want to know. Years ago, after Deewana became a hit, I was in Mehboob studio when a filmmaker offered me five lakhs. I had never seen so much money in my life. I took the bag and ran to my wife. I remember telling her with so much money I didn’t need to do anything anymore. My wife looks the rich and snooty type but she’s a simple middle-class girl. She’s not materialistic. She looked at the money and didn’t react much. Suddenly I realised that I had forgotten to ask about the film’s story. I had just been blinded by the money. I felt bad. I went back and returned the money. That day I decided that I’d never take a signing amount. After a few years I stopped charging for films altogether. I had a strong reason for that too. A big producer offered me an unheard of sum of three crores as a signing amount. In today’s age it would be equivalent to 30 crores. I forgot the promise that I wouldn’t work without hearing the story and got carried away by the money. Once Feroz Khan saab got angry with me because I asked him the story. Even Yashji (Chopra) was angry with me once for the same reason. Q. Do you think not asking for money and roles will backfire? I’m at peace by not doing certain things. Because I’m not preparing my children to be in films. I’m not waiting for my cycle to get over so that I can tell my son to say ‘hi’ to ‘X uncle’ because he’s going to launch him. It’s not dynastic. I may be the first and the last actor in my family. My children don’t revere my films. They say so if they don’t like my film. Whatever I have is hard-earned. I’m proud and happy. It’s 17 years since Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. I’m happy I did the film my way. But right now I don’t know what’s next. Q. Does uncertainty scare you? I believe uncertainty is the most beautiful place to be in. If I made a film and I knew for a fact that it will be a hit, it would be disturbing. I tell my children two things - get up in the morning and say ‘I don’t know’ and enjoy the ability to go wrong. The problem with success is that you lose the capacity to fail and the capacity to surprise people. So, if I’m able to surprise myself every day, I can surprise you as well. If I enjoy someone’s work and they offer me their project, I do it. My managers come to me with the idea of remaking super hit South Indian films. They ask me to watch it but I never do. Because I know they’re going to be hits. So what’s the point of the supposed creativity? If Mona Lisa could be made by anyone, then it wouldn’t have been the most beautiful painting in the world. The knowledge that you can fail can make you come first. Q. Right now, you’re working with Rohit Shetty on Chennai Express, which looks like a sure-shot blockbuster… It’s clear that if Chennai Express flops, it will be Shah Rukh Khan’s flop and not Rohit Shetty’s. He can turn around and say that I make hit films with everyone but SRK failed me. But I’m happy working on this film and I can sense Rohit is also happy doing it with me. He knows that I’ll bring a newness to the film. Also, I’ve wanted to do an over-the-top comedy for a long time. I’m sure Deepika Padukone will be excellent in the film. Few know that Rohit takes his entire team to the shoot. His team comprises his fight master’s mom, make-up man’s son, etc. In a Karan Johar film, you’ll have kids of big stars and famous people working, whereas in Rohit’s films there are kids of fight masters and choreographers. It’s a fantastic team. Q. You only work with established directors or your friends. How do new filmmakers get access to you? I worked my ass off and only then did I get a chance to work with Yash Chopra and other big banners. So, the new directors should also do the same and prove themselves. It’s not about them making a hit film. It’s about the kind of film they make. Also, I can come on the set and intimidate you. You can mess up the film because you have me in it. You can also mess it up because it was supposed to be a 15 crore film and now because Shah Rukh Khan is in it, it’s a 200 crore film. A lot of filmmakers are like that. You give them big budgets and they screw it. I came to Mumbai with the dream of working with Kundan Shah and I did it. I worked hard for six years and then got a call from Subhash Ghai. He spent 30 crores on me. I will call the shots because I have earned that with 20 years of experience. Directors have access to me. It’s just that I couldn’t work with them for some reason. I was offered 3 Idiots and Munna Bhai but I couldn’t do them. Anurag Kashyap had narrated No Smoking to me as well but I had to say no because of date problems. Why wouldn’t I do 3 Idiots after seeing Munna Bhai? And I don’t feel good or bad about not doing it. It was not mine. Q. Apparently, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra offered you Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Rakeysh had offered me Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (BMB). I wish I could have done it. I like Milkha Singh (well-known athlete). He’s my God. I know everything about him. But again, it would not have been good for the film. I believe the same for Lagaan. It’s good that I didn’t do it because I’d have reduced its impact. I’m glad Farhan Akhtar is doing BMB. It takes complete dedication and time. I did Chak De! India because it was over in 32 days. I would not have been able to give BMB the love Farhan is giving it. It would be less of a film with me. I get impatient easily. I saw a picture of Farhan in the entire get up and told him how awesome he looked. You need that kind of dedication to do a biopic. He looks like Milkha Singh physically. It’s outstanding. Q. Of all your performances, which do you like the most? As an actor, I like Don and My Name Is Khan the most. And then Chak De! India. I actually like some of my silly films better than Chak De! India. In Chak De! India the role helped me and the character. I just had to grow the beard. In Don, the role didn’t help the character. The film was dry but I had to be sexual, kill people and yet have people cheer for me. A difficult task. My Name Is Khan was somewhere between being commercial and art cinema. Barfi! belongs to a real world. MNIK is an unreal world. And to play an autistic character in between all the trappings of song and romance wasn’t easy. You also have to see MNIK from the perspective of Karan Johar, Kajol and me. We have done films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham together. So, it becomes difficult to be in a world which is untrue to even Karan himself. Karan belongs to the world of Student Of The Year. He doesn’t belong to My Name Is Khan.

"I knew I wanted to be with Siddharth" - Vidya Balan

2013-03-17T13:36:00.001-07:00

For the first time ever Vidya talks about marriage, husband Siddharth and the personal dynamics of a much in love power couple. Unearthing memories from a marriage album Q. Why were you so tight-lipped about your wedding plans? We are both private people and a wedding is a very personal moment. So we chose to keep it simple. There was never an intention to hide it but we didn’t want it to become a spectacle either. (Laughs) I want to share my joy with the world but it wasn’t humanly possible to invite everyone. But we hope we have everyone’s blessings. Q. Has marriage changed anything? (Laughs) It’s just been a couple of weeks, so I don’t think anything has changed. But I love being a newlywed. Q. No, seriously... (Thinks) I’m no longer staying with my parents. That’s a major change. I’m going to miss waking up every morning and seeing my parents, my sister, brother-in- law and my twin niece and nephew. But my family stays close by; I can go and see them whenever I want. (Laughs) Every morning my niece and nephew would come running to me. But now I have someone else running into my arms. Q. What about Siddharth attracted you to him? The kind of person he is. (Winks) I won’tvtalk about the other things that attracted me to him. When things are meant to happen, they just do. That’s the most beautiful truth of life. We keep looking for things in life, whether it’s love or success, but when you’re least expecting it, your dreams walk in and embrace you. That’s the most beautiful feeling and you know you’re home. Q. And when was that? (Smiles) I have to thank Filmfare for that. You’ll be amazed to hear this but it happened at the Filmfare Awards night in 2010. After receiving my award for Best Actor (Female)for Paa, I was rushing out as I had to catch a flight to Delhi where I was shooting for No One Killed Jessicab when someone from UTV introduced me to Siddharth. I knew of him as the CEO of UTV Movies but I’d never interacted with him. That was our first meeting and abrief one. Q. Apparently, Karan Johar also played Cupid between the two of you… Well, Siddharth and I met again at a dinner at Karan’s house. We ended up talking a little then. So I guess Karan intentionally or otherwise did play Cupid and God bless him for that. And, yes may God bless Filmfare too. Q. When did you actually start seeing each other? I don’t know. It’s weird because I usually remember dates easily, almost like that guy from Dil Chahta Hai. But in this particular case I don’t. Maybe, because it was here to stay. Something inside told me we would be together. Q. We’re sure you remember your first date with him. How did that go? (Smiles) I’m not about to tell you. It’s not like we started seeing each other instantly but I do remember thinking to myself that he was such an easygoing guy. I don’t know how it all happened. I didn’t stop to analyse or figure out what was happening. I just felt I could be myself with him. I could laugh out loud like I normally do. I could speak my mind and yet I had butterflies and they were dancing. It was just magic. Q. You got married at 33. Would it have been different at an early age? I don’t think there’s a right age to fall in love or get married. But I’m happy I got married when I did, when I felt ready. I’m sure being married at 33 is different from getting hitched at a younger age. At 33 you know what you want. I have my set of ideals and idiosyncrasies but I always had them. It’s a very basic thing but I don’t like my clothes being put into my wardrobe. I like to do it myself. I won’t even allow the house help to do it. Even if I lose my memory and you ask me where I’ve kept something at home I’d be able to tell you. Q. Surely, Siddharth and you must have your differences… (Laughs) Arrey, we’re still in our honeymoon period yaar, it’s too early to speak about differences. Having said that, where there are two individuals, there are bound to be differences, no? I’m yet to experience married life, considering I’m just married. But I know enough people who believe marriage means a lot of adjustments and as long as you don’t see them as compromises, you’re safe. When you truly love someone and that person makes you love yourself, a marriage works itself out. Q. You’ve been on your own for so long. Now you have to share your life with someone. Does that scare you? (Laughs) A lot of people tell me that sharing a bathroom is actually a big deal. On a serious note, I’m really looking forward to sharing my life with Siddharth. There’s space in ‘my space’ for this someone else. Q. Why did you choose to get married in times when couples chose to live-in? Marriage isn’t just a stamp of approval for a relationship. It’s the highest form of commitment and I knew I want to be with Siddharth. Some people are happy living-in but that’s not for me. I believe in the institution of marriage because I’ve seen beautiful marriages around me. And if and when we have children, I don’t want them to go through issues because we aren’t married. Q. Any more reasons? It’s never easy breaking away, even when you’re living-in or just in a relationship but maybe marriage gives you that extra impetus to try and make it work. And there are families involved. You’re only gaining in marriage. Like my family is gaining one more member and so is his family. (Winks) And we’ll only add to it. Q. What is your equation with his family? He’s a Punjabi Jew. They’re a prototype of genuinely secular people. Most importantly, they’re warm and happy people. Q. How deeply rooted are you to your traditions? Right from the Kanjeevaram sarees to the Mallipoo (scented oil) in my hair and the kolam (a kind of rangoli) outside my door, I’m completely entrenched in a South Indian upbringing; the customs and culture. We’re not ritualistic though. Also prayer is part of my upbringing and it’s integral to my being. Q. Does it stem out of fear? Prayer is often reinforced to assuage fear or fulfill wants. But you learn over time that prayer is also gratitude and importantly love. I’m discovering the joy of saying ‘Thank You’. Q. Isn’t that also being spiritual? To me, spirituality means a state of unconditional love and acceptance of self and therefore of others. I still have a long way to go. Q. Coming back to your newly married status, do you at times miss being single? No way, I don’t miss being single at all. I was single for a long time. Q. What is it about Siddharth that annoys you the most? I hate the fact that he’s so punctual and I thought I was the most organised. But he beats me at it. Q. One thing that you love about him... Amongst other things, what I admire about him is the warmth with which he meets people. He’s non-judgmental and accepting. Q. As a star you’re always watched. Where do you get that private space for a relationship to blossom? A couple needs little space. (Winks) The lesser the private space the more exciting it gets. Q. How do you like spending time with him? I love going for long drives, even if it means late at night. Q. Which film of yours is his favourite? He really liked me in Kahaani. Q. Any movie he dislikes? (Laughs) I don’t have the guts to ask him if it’s Heyy Babyy or Kismet Konnection. ©Kapil Singh BlogBuster ™

"I dig vintage fashion" - Sonam Kapoor

2013-03-17T13:33:00.001-07:00

Uncrowned queen of fashion,Sonam Kapoor, speaks her style. Q. What inspires your sense of style? One should wear the outfit; the outfit should not wear you. You’ve to enjoy dressing up. I’m inspired by Madhubala, Meena Kumari, Audrey Hepburn and Katharine Hepburn’s sense of dressing. Movies too have inspired me to wear beautiful clothes. And while acting, I don’t dress to be edgy but to be a character. Q. How did you acquire fashionista tag? When I came to the industry, I didn’t want to wear those bodycon dresses or Swarovski sarees. That wasn’t me at all. Like there are connoisseurs of wine or art, I understand clothes and designers. So when I started creating my own style, I gave enough fodder for people to talk about. When you’re not trying to be someone else, the unique image sticks to you. I didn’t have to try too hard and people loved what I wore. Q. Do you seek inspiration from international fashion magazines? I do go online to see trends in the world of fashion. But I love the fashion between the ’50s –’80s. I dig vintage fashion. I love Geoffrey Beene (American fashion designer) from the ’80s. I don’t dislike current trends. But I only like them when they have a vintage touch. I love when there’s history to a certain look. I’m skinny, so when I wear shoulder pads and high-waist skirts, I feel I am from the ’80s. Even the new collections of top designers are inspired by classic fashion. The Gucci collections are often recreating the ’20s look. Dolce & Gabbana are inspired by the ’50s. Presently, I enjoy wearing prop tops and high-waist pants. That’s so ’80s and ‘in’. Q. What’s the problem with Indian designers? Unfortunately, instead of embracing our own culture, fabrics and embroidery like detailed Lucknowi work, Kashmiri work, Hyderabadi work and mirror work, our designers are influenced by the West. I was in Benares recently for Ranjhanaa and bought so many Banarasi sarees. India has a huge gamut of styles and fabrics. That’s what I love about Anamika Khanna, Sabyasachi and Abu-Sandeep. They’re true to their roots. Designers can create western outfits but by infusing a little Indianess, they can make them funky. Like Anamika has made me a dress out of a Banarasi saree. The West is inspired by us but we’re ashamed to imbibe from our own culture. I attended an outstanding Chanel show that was inspired by Mumbai and Jaipur. The clothes had such beautiful embroidery. When they can do it so well, why can’t we? Anamika Khanna’s work is often influenced by the royal family of Hyderabad. She makes androgynous clothes for women. The clothes are Indian but the take is modern. Sabyasachi also uses Barong (formal Filipino attire) influences. Q. But are these clothes wearable? Of course they are. Indian clothes on Indian bodies look best. I don’t think wearing gowns or hippie type of clothes suits all. Unless you’re like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma or me, girls who are tall and have model thin bodies. Designers like Anamika Khanna do make wearable clothes. Q. How stylish are we as a country? Recently, I was in Jaipur with my sister Rhea. We saw this headsman who was wearing different prints on his dhoti and kurta. He was also wearing Rajasthani jewellery that looked gorgeous and fashionable. Even movies today have actors wearing kurtis and ethnic stuff. So when we don’t try to ape the West, we can be fashionable. Rani Mukerji in Bunty Aur Babli or Kareena Kapoor in Jab We Met is what young girls dress like. Even my look in Delhi 6 with the floral salwar kameez and dhoti pants was great. If you go to old Delhi or Jawaharlal Nehru University, you’ll find girls and boys so well-dressed. And they aren’t wearing anything expensive. It is all from the streets. Even in Mumbai if you go to Linking Road, you’ll see girls wearing shorts with Kolhapuri chappals. It looks so good. Q. For photoshoots you go from being bizarre to outlandish with great ease... People tell me that I’m different at photoshoots and experiment so much. I tell them it’s acting. There’s nothing to it other than playing that character at that time. I remember doing a shoot a couple of years ago for Filmfare’s anniversary issue where I played Nutan, Waheeda Rehman and Meena Kumari. I was just acting. It doesn’t take much to do something like that. As an actor, it’s my job to act well in photoshoots too. That’s why I always get beautiful and sometimes mad pictures. Q. Have you ever had a bad hair or bad clothes days? Honestly, no one can have a bad hair day or a bad clothes day as long as you’re happy. When you feel happy, you look beautiful. So being positive helps in looking good however clichéd it may sound. Q. One thing in your wardrobe that makes you feel awesome... There’s no one thing. But I do have a lot of bell sleeves and long maxis. When I’m feeling fat I wear one of my maxis and I feel fine. Q. One style obsession… I’m obsessed with sarees. I believe I look best in them. Q. Weren’t you supposed to start a high- street brand? We’re working on it. Due to my other commitments it’s taking time. Also, my sister Rhea is producing three films. We’re both tied up. People have shown interest in it. We’ll soon start a high-street brand and then move on to ready to wear and couture. I really want to do this besides films. Q. Have you seen a change in your own style in the past five years? When I first came in, I used to wear a lot of Indian clothes. I was nervous as every newcomer is. So I wore what made me feel comfortable. My promotions for Saawariya were in Indian clothes. I wore a lot of angharkas. People didn’t even know what angharkas were until I started wearing them. It was around Delhi 6 that I started experimenting with my clothes. Now, I love to mix and match. Like for the Hello Derby last year, I wore a saree. People jibed that I had come in a saree to a Derby. But like I said, if you can carry it off, it looks good. Q. How do you remain calm with the paparazzi and fashion blogs taking pictures of you at all events? I usually get positive reactions. Even if they say something negative, how does it matter? I know how good I feel when I dress up. And it’s the same with my movies and my personal life. For them, it’s a high to comment on my style and what I should wear. Why should I listen to them? Q. Have you ever had a wardrobe malfunction? Recently, at the Roberto Cavalli event, someone stepped on my gown, it got pulled and the gown unzipped. Jacqueline Fernandez, who was with me, covered me up immediately. We ran to the washroom and zipped up the gown. (Laughs) I guess I had not locked the zip right. Q. Boots are in this season. What sort of boots would you suggest for young girls? Mumbai is too warm for boots. But if you’re in North India, you can wear thigh high boots and own the look. If you have short legs, you should wear high heel boots and if you have long legs then you should wear flat boots. Most Indian girls aren’t too tall so wearing short boots or thigh high boots are advisable as other boots might make them look short. © Kapil Singh BlogBuster™

"Kareena Kapoor is the No.1 heroine" - Virat Kohli

2013-03-17T13:30:00.001-07:00

You have seen her playing classy strokes on the cricket field.Here ' s the other side of the very talented and stylish Virat Kohli. Childhood Memories I have always been a fan of the Hindi movies and my earliest memories of films have to be of watching black and white movies with my family. As a kid, my favourite Hindi movie was Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. Anyone who has seen the movie, will know why it was my favourite film. And it’s mainly because of this film that I idolised Aamir Khan as I was growing up. To date, I am a huge Aamir Khan fan. Among the three Khans – Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman – Aamir is my favourite. Not only is he a brilliant actor but he also adapts well to diverse roles. IPL & Bollywood Time and again, much hullabaloo is made about Bollywood’s involvement in the Indian Premiere League. But as a cricketer, I’d only like to say that my job is on the field and what goes on off it, isn’t really on my radar. Bollywood Music Rocks What I love the most about the Hindi film industry is its music. It sets our cinema apart from the rest of the world. According to me, there’s no better music in the world to dance to. I especially love Punjabi music. My favourite track right now is Tu mera hero from Desi Boyz. I can listen to the song on loop. The other song I like is Sadi gali from Tanu Weds Manu. I also like the sound track of Jannat 2. Theatre Experience v/s DVDs I’m a big movie buff. I prefer going to the theatre to watch films but we don’t always have the time to make it to scheduled shows. So I’ve made up for that by installing a 64” TV and an amazing home theatre system. Now I can watch movies in the comfort of my home and get a theatre-like experience. I think the last movie I watched on DVD was The Avengers. Hollywood I enjoy watching Hollywood movies. The Illusionist is one of the coolest Hollywood films I've seen and Johnny Depp is a great actor. I even like Angelina Jolie a lot but according to me, the sexiest Hollywood actress is Penelope Cruz. She is my secret celebrity crush. Fan Moments I don’t really go to filmi events but I did meet Hrithik (Roshan), Salman (Khan) and a few others at Sachin paaji’s (Tendulkar’s) 100th century dinner, hosted by the Ambanis. It was a fun evening. Sexiest Actresses Among the yesteryear actresses, Rekha wins hands down. She was undoubtedly the sexiest. As for today’s B-town actresses, Katrina Kaif is my favourite. I also think she is the most talented actress at the moment. However, I think that Kareena Kapoor is the No. 1 heroine. She beats Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra in the race. Favourite Genre I love watching action films and thrillers. But three of my favourite Hindi films are Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Ishq and 3 Idiots, which aren't from those genres. Films & Cricket Bollywood has always had a fascination for cricket. Lagaan is by far the best Hindi film based on the sport. Dream Role I have never thought about acting but my dream role in a film would be that of Iron Man, which the suave and dashing Robert Downey Jr portrays in the Hollywood series. Career In Films Quite a few Indian cricketers have tried their hand in films in the past. But I am not open to the idea of a career in Hindi films. Cricket is my one and only love. And I have no back up plans. Recently, there were rumours that Prabhu Sir (Prabhudeva) offered me a film while I was shooting for an ad film with him but those rumours are false. Yes, I did have a great experience shooting with him but the only thing he offered me were a few dance moves. However, if I actually had to pick an Indian cricketer, who’d make for a great actor, I’d choose Zaheer Khan. © K.S. BlogBuster™ Specials.

Star Hobbies: Saif Ali Khan

2013-03-17T13:27:00.001-07:00

So here 's the last post of this series hope you had fun.

HOBBY: Playing The Guitaar

This one’s no surprise, be it promoting a
film or performing on-stage, Saif Ali Khan
has often been spotted strumming his
electric guitar. While it may have started
as a compulsory subject in school, far
from growing out of his passion, the
actors love towards his guitar only seems
to have increased. In fact, the actor even
got together with rock band Parikrama for
a live concert in Delhi.

Mika Singh: Sing is king

2013-03-17T13:23:00.001-07:00

Controversy magnet Mika is turning actor with Balwinder Singh… Famous Ho Gaya Mika as an actor “Offers to act have been coming my way for several years but I kept turning them down. Firstly, I make as much as an established star through my shows (he reportedly charges Rs 40 lakh per show) and secondly, I’m not acting as my character is close to what I am in real life.” On brother Daler Mehndi “The one big thing he’s taught me is that I should have a unique identity. That’s why I’m not called Mika Mehndi. And I don’t dress like him.” He says his brother was the highest paid singer at one time. “He charged Rs 2 crore for a Coke ad 10 years ago. He was charging 20 lakhs per show back then. He took 80 lakhs for the Tunuk tunuk tun song. I aspired for that kind of popularity. He achieved that by being unique and, more importantly, by marketing himself uniquely. He knows how to brand himself and I’ve taken his marketing lessons to heart.” He rubbishes the rumours that the brothers don’t get along. “He’s a father figure for me. I don’t even sit in front of him. Such rumours come about because some jealous souls have a problem digesting the fact that two talented and successful people exist in one family. Other controversies What about other controversies that he’s always surrounded with? Should we surmise that they are a part of his ahem, marketing campaign? Like his infamous lip lock with Rakhi Sawant for instance, which still gets written about? “Unlike others, I don’t need to cook up controversies to be in the news,” he retorts. He says controversies just happen to him by chance. “I’m a controversy magnet. Controversies come and go but they haven’t dimmed my fan following. I may have a bad boy image but my fans know I’m a good guy at heart.” Expounding on it, he comments that he wouldn’t have excelled in the live stage show business if people believed he was a bad boy. “Look at someone like Shakti Kapoor or Aman Verma. They have sort of faded away. They are out, gone. But that isn’t so in my case. I sing at weddings too and girls wouldn’t have asked for me if they thought I was a bad person or if their parents thought I was so too.” Performing at weddings He says the wedding market wasn’t easy to crack into. “Shah Rukh Khan performs at weddings and hence everyone else has to up their act. I’m on my toes more at weddings than my other shows. Weddings are special. You’d be part of someone’s memory for the rest of their lives. Hence, I have to deliver something unique at such events.” Bachelor Mika Mika asserts he will definitely get married. His choice of a life-partner would be a seedhi saadi Punjabi kudi who’d be patient enough to live with an artiste and deal with the eccentricities and controversies that come with the package. “I want someone who understands me yaar, nothing more. I want someone who’ll love me as I am and not want me to change. And someone who’s not in awe of my money and fame.” Animal lover Mika jokes that the other reason why he hasn’t gotten married so far is because he’s yet to buy an elephant. He plans to ride an elephant in his baraat. “I own a 100 acre farmhouse. It’s situated on Damadama Lake near Gurgaon. I have 12 dogs, four cows and two horses running free on my farm. One of my horses gave birth some time ago. The foal is called Bebo. Because I liked the song Bebo main bebo. I love my dog Jugni, who is my favourite and my camels Shankar and Shambhu.” He waxes poetic on the cathartic qualities of nature. “I like spending time on my farmhouse among my animals. Owning this farm has taught me that animals don’t need money to be happy. It’s man who runs after money and its important to realise that money isn’t the be all and end all of everything.” Talent hunts Ask him about his views on talent hunts and he says such shows have altered the lifestyle of small town singers. “Someone who was perhaps earning Rs 10,000 per month now earns a lakh per month after gaining recognition through such programmes. They can afford good houses, good cars. It has given hope to many and something that helps improve people’s lifestyles should always be welcomed.” BlogBuster™ © Kapil Singh.
