Salman Khan and Esha Deol share sizzling chemistry

Salman Khan, who is all set to make a special appearance in Hema Malini’s ‘Tell Me Oh Khhuda’ opposite Esha Deol, shared a sizzled chemistry with the actress.

The song titled ‘Somewhere Someone Is Missing You’ has enthralled Esha, who is trying to resurrect her career in Bollywood.

Talking about her chemistry with Salman, Esha said, “I’ve got superb reactions to the track on my microblogging page. My sister Ahana has loved it. I think Salman and I share sizzling chemistry and that we both look very good together. Also there’s a good comfort level between us.”

She also talked about her equation with Salman and said, “We have always been very friendly. The funny thing is that I call Salman bhai while he calls me beta so after every take, we would crack up. What’s amazing about him is that even when he was going through so much pain, he came and shot without any fuss."

Salman is very close to the Deol family and his close association with them is apparent from the fact that he promised to work with Hema Malini even when she had not approached him.

“Mom met Salman at an event a while back and he had promised to work in her film. We had forgotten all about it. One day, I was shooting at a Bandra nightclub and Prashant, a common friend of ours, came on the sets to meet me. The next thing I know I get a call from Salman at 11 pm that day, saying he is going to be part of the song and wanted to know when to show up. He came by the next night sharp at 11.30 pm as promised and finished shooting in a few hours without rehearsals,” added Esha.

Salman Khan returns to Mumbai

Bollywood Star Salman Khan is back. The actor returned to Mumbai late last night (September 27, 2011). Salman had left for the US for a complicated nerve surgery in the last week of August.

Post his surgery, he headed for London and Dublin, to shoot for Ek Tha Tiger. He had wrote on Twitter before his departure: "Challo see you guys. On my way to fix the short circuit in my nerve... take care."

The actor will be present to launch the fifth edition of the reality show Bigg Boss with his co-host Sanjay Dutt. There was much speculation that he may drop out of Bigg Boss. He is slated to launch the reality show at a special event to be held at Mehboob Studios on Thursday evening along with Sanjay Dutt.

Salman will also travel to Karjat for the shoot of the reality show over the weekend where the Bigg Boss house has been set up.

Katrina Kaif's panty show

While shooting for ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ in Dublin, Katrina Kaif suffered a big oops moment when her skirt went up and her panty made a big show. In the scene, Katrina Kaif was riding a cycle when her skirt went up. Kat least had the idea that she had suffered a big wardrobe malfunction.

Her short skirt was obviously not suitable for the particularly scene. Before the  damage could be more dangeous, her ex-flame Salman Khan rushed to Katrina’s rescue and stopped her from any more disastrous.

This is not the first time that any actress in Bollywood suffered wardrobe malfunction. In the past, actresses like Shamita Shetty, Yana Gupta, Sonali Bendra and the list goes on who had gone through this awkward moment.

SRK launches custom-built movie channel for RA.One

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who is leaving no stone unturned in marketing RA.One, today launched a custom built movie channel on leading online video platform YouTube for his upcoming film.

The movie channel on YouTube will offer users all videos of the RA.One premiere, red carpet events planned in London, behind the scene shots, uncut footage of the star cast and Shah Rukh's thoughts.

It will also host games and give chance to users to create promos from clips, music and dialogues of the film.

The initiative will make Shah Rukh one of the first Indian celebrities to be on the Google plus platform and engage with fans.

Ali Zafar talks about kissing co-star Aditi Rao Hydari

Considering the light-hearted roles the actor essayed in his last two films, Tere Bin Laden and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, it might come as a surprise that actor Ali Zafar is actually an action enthusiast and looks up to star of the moment actor Salman Khan as his hero.

“I am a big Salman fan and want to work in action films but I haven’t got any script yet. Plus, I will have to work really hard on my physique,” the Pakistani singer-turned actor says.

Ali is now busy with his next project titled, London Paris New York with co-star Aditi Rao Hydari. She is the same girl who became famous for puckering up to co-star Arunoday Singh umpteen times in Yeh Saali Zindagi and this time too, if sources are to be believed, shares an on screen kiss with Ali. When asked about reports of kissing co-star Aditi, he appears unflustered.

Coming from a conservative background, and being a married man, is his family back in Pakistan cool with his on-screen exploits? “My wife has no issues with it,” clarifies Ali, settling the matter once and for all.

Ali who last worked with actor Katrina Kaif has apparently grown very fond of her. So much so that he even compares Katrina to yesteryear’s beauty Madhubala. “According to me, the most beautiful lady of all time is Madhubala. She had the most stunning eyes. I wish I had been born in the same era as her, so I could have got a chance to work with her. After her (Madhubala), if I have to tag anyone as extremely beautiful, then that will be Katrina Kaif.”

Minissha Lamba plays a clueless newcomer in Hum, Tum Shabana

There is a time when everybody is a rookie. They don't know what to do, and they don't know how to go about things and are extremely guarded about themselves. Actor Minissha Lamba says that her forthcoming film portrays her in exactly that light - a newcomer thrown into a fashion show and someone who doesn't have a clue about what to do.

"My circumstances throw me into a beauty pageant and I don't know what to do in it. It's like a local beauty pageant where I have to walk the ramp to save the situation. I just do an extempore catwalk. I think that is one of the most interesting parts of the film," says Minissha about her upcoming film Hum, Tum Shabana that also stars Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor. The actor says that it is an out-and-out comedy film which revolves around the three characters in the film.

"Of course, it is also a triangular love story where I manage to win the affection of both the boys and the hilarious circumstances that follow from there. Both Tusshar and Shreyas are real pranksters and they used to play pranks with me all the time. Some of the pranks that we pulled on each other when we were not shooting have also been incorporated into the film (probably in the end credits). The footage is hilarious and we felt that we should keep them," she adds.

After Hum Tum Shabana, Minissha is playing the role of a journalist in her upcoming film Joker. Surprisingly, she says that she could relate to the role rather easily. "I have been seeing journalists from close quarters since a real long time, so I have the adequate homework on the character. It's also a very interesting role where I have been very satisfied with my performance as an actor. Working with Shirish Kunder was also a great experience for me," she says.

Another film that she is looking forward to is Zilla Ghaziabad. "It's a political thriller and it is a very serious role and I am really looking forward to what audience says after seeing me," she says.

Paris Hilton snubs Kangna Ranaut

It was supposed to be a meeting that might have been a reconciliation of sorts for Bollywood actor Kangna Ranaut with international society swan Paris Hilton, after the confusion over claims of being the face of Paris’ brand.  But Paris didn’t have much to say to Kangna except for a cursory handshake at the party hosted to welcome her in Mumbai.

There was considerable confusion when Kangna made claims that her staff had been contacted by an agency to endorse Paris’s brand of accessories. The fashionista denied it and on her arrival to Mumbai, clarified that she is the face of her own brand. The party that ensued on her touchdown to Mumbai saw an eclectic guest list, which surprisingly also included Kangna and one of her staff members.

“We have Kangna on our guest list and she’s here for the same,” confirmed hotel staff. All eyes were on the duo when Kangna went up to Paris and greeted her.

“Kangna made several attempts to speak to Paris Hilton at the party, but she got mobbed as soon as she entered the venue. The host of the party Queenie graciously introduced Kangna to Paris, but she just flitted past her even before Kangna could say a ‘hi’ to her,” reveals a source present at the party.

Kangna made another attempt to get close to Paris, but the latter was busy posing with others and enjoying herself so she couldn’t apparently find the time to talk to the actor. “Just before Kangna decided to leave (post 2am), her companion went towards Paris to try and get a word with the hotel heiress. Paris continued pouting and posing for her fans. After a point, Kangna signalled her staff member to leave and both of them walked out of the party in a huff,” adds the source.

I loved Bipasha Basu: Paris Hilton

Introducing her line of handbags may have been the primary agenda of Paris Hilton’s maiden visit to Mumbai last weekend, but the heiress is ensuring she makes the most of her time here. In between events and launches related to her brand, Paris met and bonded with big names from Bollywood, the music fraternity and top business houses. And arguably the biggest outcome of her trip may be a Bollywood film.

Since she made her Hollywood debut in 2005 with House Of Wax, the actor admits she’s received hundreds of scripts from Indian filmmakers. But she has never had time to consider them. This visit, though, may have been the turning point.

“It’s not like I didn’t like those films. Some had interesting scripts with good music and great actors, but I’ve never had the time to fly to India for filming them,” says Paris, adding, “But now that I’ve visited the city and seen everything for myself, I’m definitely going to consider it more seriously.”

She admits that even a few Indian musicians have approached her to meet and discuss possible collaborations, but it’s going to be “difficult to make time for everyone.”

On Saturday night, Paris interacted with several Bollywood stars at a party hosted in her honour. “I met more than 150 people; it was a lot of fun. I loved Bipasha Basu. She’s absolutely gorgeous and really cool. I bonded with VJ Anusha too,” she gushes.

Paris’s handbag range is the first of her 17 product lines to hit Indian markets, in a tie-up with Brand Concepts, but she’s unsure of what she’ll launch here next. “The thought of introducing an apparel line here excites me. I also want to incorporate India in to my designs. I’ve noticed the colours people like here, their affinity for gold and sparkle. I know exactly what I’d like to do. In fact, I’ve already started working on it,” she informs.

Ask her if she wanted or would consider appointing an Indian celebrity as the face of her brand here and she insists, “I’m the only brand ambassador or face of my brand. I have never hired anyone to do that job; it’s only me.”

Paris promises that she’ll return to India soon, hopefully to launch more of her products. Currently, she has her hands full with a number of projects, including handling a successful Moto GP team, producing music (with Afrojack), starring in TV shows and acting in a Hollywood film. She adds, “I’m also opening a beach club in the Philippines, following which, there will be a chain of boutique hotels.”
