Monika speak about rahul mahajan eviction form Big Boss 2

Source: Rediff
Rahul Mahajan's eviction from Bigg Boss has come as a surprise to many, especially his close friends. Monica Bedi claimed that she learnt of the eviction from the media, and 'has no clue' why he was evicted.

"If he is evicted, it is bad news," she says. "He was one of the strongest contenders to win Bigg Boss. I am really disappointed. I wish it is not true." Monica was evicted from the house only last week, and was Rahul's closest friend while they were in the house. There were even rumours of a romance between them.

Sources say that Rahul was evicted because he did not apologise for his behaviour last week when the remaining four housemates -- including Raja Chaudhury, Zulfi Sayed and Ashutosh Kaushik -- tried to escape from the house. While the three apologised, Rahul refused.

"It is a big surprise because Rahul is a very tolerant guy," Monica says. "For the last 90 days, he has been very co-operative and tolerant, and kept his ego in check. He has never done anything against Bigg Boss. Even if he has, he has been the first one to apologise.

"Even on Saturday night, when they took the extreme step and broke the rules of the house, it was only for food. They were hungry. I think they were frustrated because of the pressure they have to face, and didn't want to cook and eat something different," Monica continues.

"Rahul has lost eight kilos in the Bigg Boss house. If he did not apologise for Saturday's incident, it could be because he feels that whatever he has done is right and he doesn't need to apologise for that. I hope Bigg Boss will sort out the issue and send Rahul back to the house," Monica says.

Did she speak to Rahul after his eviction? "No, I am busy with my work. I came to know about this from the media," Monica answers.

So who does she think will win Bigg Boss? "I think Zulfi Sayed has got the best chances of winning," she says. "He has not got into any kind of controversy and has played safe."

Backless Bride Hirshitha Bhatt and Shweta Salve

Hrishitha Bhatt and Shweta Salve are not new names for Bollywood. The former did a few quite forgettable films early in a career before disappearing from the scene and the latter took a big jump from small screen to the silver screen grabbing a few modeling assignments, music videos and some blink and miss roles.

However, on thing is common with both- the two are ultra-gorgeous and so it seems given the latest Bridal shoot of Nisha Merchant. The shoot has the duo in backless ghagras making their bridal look sexy and tempting.

Nisha Merchant is one of the Top Fashion Designer in Fashion Industry and Bollywood too. She’s the one who’ll take that chic urban silhouette and add a touch of ultra-ethnic embroidery to make it sublime. Or mix up ultra trad with uber glam to come up with glad rags that turn my girl-next-door friends into wedding-day goddesses.

Her deft design hand has been evident in every distinct collection she creates. Check out the latest Bridal Collection of Nisha with hotties Shweta and Hirshitha posing for the camera.

Sanjay is no more interested to work with Ekta Kappor

TV Queen Ekta Kapoor has fallen out with movie star turned producer Sanjay Dutt according to newspaper reports.

Both Ekta and Sanjay had signed a deal worth Rs 500 crore back in July to make 9 films under the banners of Balaji Motion Pictures and Sanjay Dutt Productions.

An Indian newspaper quotes a source as saying, “Though Balaji sold ‘EMI’ to Sahara, they suffered losses too. Ekta is disgruntled about the way ‘EMI’ was promoted. The lack of commitment and interest by some stars has upset her a lot.

Sanjay Dutt would star in all 9 of these films as the lead hero and he would be getting an initial Rs 5 crore for the agreement. However, Sanjay has now returned the money to Ekta saying that he is no more interested in working with her.

At the last ‘EMI’ press conference held a couple of days before the release only Ekta and her dad were present, neither Sunil Shetty (co-producer) nor Dutt showed up. Balaji wants accountability in all its operations and only wants to work with people who understand this."

After learning about Ekta’s reservations in regards to working with her, Sanjay decided enough is enough and broke up the deal. An official announcement has yet to be made.

Abhishek Bachchan with Ranbir and deepika in Maniratnam next Flick

Mani Ratnam is very fond of Abhishek Bachchan. In fact, it is generally said that Abhishek has replaced actor Madhavan as his favourite. But the relationship is not one sided as the actor too rates Mani Sir very high in his book.

It seems that Abhishek is willing to make his good friend Rohan Sippy wait for dates, because he has given them all to Mani. Rohan was all set to start work on his next film with Abhishek in February next year. The film will also star Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

But he now has to wait till Mani's film is complete as Abhishek has given him all the dates. Abhishek knows that Rohan wants to start his film early next year, but everything got delayed because of Amitabh Bachchan's illness. The actor also had to cancel a shoot with Mani because of that. Hence,

he is now booked with the director for the next three months and can only give Rohan dates after that. It seems that Rohan will now start shooting the film after March next year. Rohan's film is said to be a thriller and will see the young Bachchan styled very differently.

The Lahore High Court has issued notices to the Chairman of the Film Censor Board of Pakistan to justify the screening of Karan Johar’s film Dostana in Pakistan.The petitioner says that the movie has highly objectionable gay content.

Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra starrer movie Dostana is about two men, played by Abhishek and John, pretending to be gay to rent a flat. The movie is produced by Karan Johar and directed by Tarun Mansukhani.

A single bench of the High Court passed the order on a writ petition filed by Khuram Khan.

The court thinks that the movie will propagate homosexuality in Pakistan.

Most expensive Bollywood movie may come soon

Source: ZOOM TV
Bollywood is getting more and more ambitious. If producer Vikas Kapoor and director Samir Karnik (the Heroes pair) can be expected to fulfill their next dream, the most expensive film ever made in Indian cinema, history is on the cards. Tentatively, it is being called Lanka; and, Kapoor and Karnik have five Bollywood hunks in mind for the film and one hot woman.

The film is being described as a thriller, and its production values are already around Rs 90 crore, that’s not counting the fat pay packets of the star cast. Much like Mission Impossible, Lanka will be shot underwater extensively, and the plot has the six actors trying to recover 60,000 tons of gold from the seabed 6,000 feet below.

Not exciting enough? Then hear this! The cast includes hunk Salman Khan, Greek God Hrithik Roshan, the hot and sexy Abhishek Bachchan, the intense Ajay Devgan and the daring Bobby Deol and the sultry Priyanka Chopra. Kapoor, unwilling to divulge much, admitted, “We are finalising the script and nobody’s officially been signed so far.

But, this being an adventurous project, we will require actors of that calibre to fit the roles. We have bounced the script with a few of them and all are very excited.” He is unfazed by the headache of handling so many big stars.

“It’s not rocket science,” said Kapoor, “if you have a good script and you respect the stars’ space, they cooperate. Because everyone works towards making the film a success.” Action experts and technical wizards from Hollywood will be flown down when the film is being shot in India. Otherwise, action sequences are also planned in Las Vegas, parts of Japan, Paris, with the underwater sequences being kept for Australia.

Happy birth day to 33 year young Sunsmita Sen


Actress Sushmita Sen, who will celebrate her 33rd birthday in Goa Wednesday, says she isn't looking for romance. Despite having a string of affairs behind her, she also says she doesn't dump men.
"Let's just say I'm single and ready to mingle... does that sound too trite? I'm beyond that stage where I have to party and be with 500 people to feel special. Every moment is special and I need no endorsement for it from the outside. Just being with the people who really matter to me is celebration enough," Sushmita told IANS.

Talking about marriage, she said: "Marriage hasn't happened. It will happen when it happens. What guarantee is there that after getting into marriage and after 20 years of togetherness, I won't discover it was the wrong move for me?"

Right now she is in Goa with her birthday entourage, which consisted of 17 very close family members and friends, including, of course, daughter Renee who at the moment occupies centre stage in Sushmita's life.

But seriously, what made the award so special was that my daughter Renee was there to see her mother get this award. This was the first time she ever attended an awards function where her mother got an award. It felt wonderful to see Renee looking so proud of me."

"I'd say some of it is definitely authentic. I've been a part of that world. And I know it's not easy to maintain your equilibrium. What really blew my mind were the performances of Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut and the new girl (Mugdha Godse). This is one film I'd have liked to be part of."

The actress is currently busy with "Rani Laxmibai" which is being produced by her production house Tantra Productions.

Salman was speaking to reporters Monday at the promotional event of his forthcoming release Yuvvraaj, which also stars Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Zayed Khan.

About the film, he said: "It is about brothers played by Anil, Zayed and me. The film is about the manipulations of the brothers to get the ancestral property. I play the second brother Deven, who tries to get a part of his ancestral property to fulfill the conditions laid down by his to-be father-in-law to marry his daughter (Katrina Kaif)."

"Subhashji had approached me before, but I did not accept the offer because I thought I could not do justice to the roles. But, I accepted this film because it is the story of three brothers and I could relate to the emotions."

Bipasha Basu charge more then kartina on new year's Eve

Bipasha Basu has proved, once again, that she is the real crowd puller. All this while, everybody was talking about Katrina Kaif dancing at JW Marriott on New Year's Eve and getting a crore to do that.

Well, Bipasha seems to have bettered that. She has pipped Katrina, by grabbing an offer of Rs 1.5 crore to dance at Sahara Star. Last year, the actress had charged Rs 90 lakh for a 30 minute performance at Marriott and this year Katrina is doing the same for a crore.


Understandably, she is quite thrilled about the offer as it will round off, what has and been an extremely good year for her. She began the year with Race and then topped it with her performance in Bachna Ae Haseeno. Great going Bips!


But Bipasha has raced ahead of her and will be receiving much more for her performance. The actress is in the process of finalizing her act i.e. the songs, costumes, etc.

Katrina is annoyed of her fake e-mail Address on hotmail

The crisis has been created by an anonymous person who has been sending mails and messages to industry people (filmmakers, casting agents, producers and even mediamen) from the e-mail ID katrinakaif84@hotmail.com.

The sender has been impersonating as Katrina.

Katrina was unaware of this anonymous impersonator until last week when a female journalist approached her and told her she had received a mail from the actress. Since Katrina had sent no such mail, she checked and realized that someone has created an e-mail account in her name and is now fooling people by sending mails.

This has made Katrina’s life a little less peaceful because her manager and spokesperson have been flooded by calls from people who claim to have received messages from Katrina herself.
The gorgeous actress has now formally announced that she doesn’t have any account by the address katrinakaif84@hotmail.com.

Looks like everybody wants to be in Kat’s shoes. But don’t forget they may have to face Salman Khan .

Katrina also denies she has any facebook account, even though there are some accounts bearing her name on the site.

Sachin tendulker is fond of Amir khan's look in ghajini

Aamir’s new look has bewildered many people in the film industry. Not so much in the theatrical promos as in the movie’s posters, Aamir’s body looks too perfect to be real. Some even believe that a lot of VFX work has been done on the posters to give a puffed up look to Aamir’s body.

Sachin, a very good friend of Aamir, reportedly saw the movie’s poster at a multiplex recently and was shocked to see Aamir’s sculpted body. The cricketer called Aamir to express his surprise and inquire if the body was not digitally enhanced in the posters.
Not the least shocked is Sachin Tendulkar, who, like Aamir, is one of the best, if not the best, in his field.

Aamir assured Sachin that it was indeed him in the posters and even promised to show him the movie once it is fully edited.

Aamir worked a great deal to develop a brawny body for ‘Ghajini’. The movie has him playing a man who suffers from memory loss after the murder of his girlfriend. How he goes about avenging the killers whom he doesn’t even remember is what the film is all about.

Breaking news : Rahul out of big Boss Race


Rahul Mahajan, one of the celebrity inmates on the reality television show Bigg Boss, is out of the show.

Rahul along with other inmates Raja Choudhary, Zulfi Sayed and Ashutosh Kaushik had attempted to jump out of the House by climbing the wall.

Rahul, the son of slain BJP leader Pramod Mahajan and one of the most popular and controversial House inmates, was asked to leave the show when he refused to apologise for breach of discipline.

According to the rules of the show, no inmate is allowed to leave the House before the completion of the show or before he/she is voted out.

On Saturday, the four inmates jumped the walls of the Lonavala house they’ve been in for over 90 days, just because they had gotten tired of home-cooked food and wanted to eat outside.

The security team quickly jumped into action and made them return to the house. The four went back inside after five minutes of hanging around the gate.

Former Bigg Boss inmate Sanjay Nirupam says he's not surprised by Rahul Mahajan's exit. " They are very indisciplined people. They don't value the rules of the house. But I also think this is all a publicity stunt for TRPs," he said.

Production House Endemol had assured action against the participants.The episode of Rahul's exit will be aired on Colors on Tuesday night.
Rahul reportedly said, "I'd rather quit than apologise".
