Madhuri Dixit will be judging Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 4


The original dancing queen of Bollywood Madhuri Dixit has been missing from the limelight for quiet some time now. However, the actress is all set to make a comeback on the small screen as the judge of a reality show.

She was last seen in YRF productions Aaja Nachle, which turned out to be a huge box office dud. This Bollywood actress will be assessing other people on their dancing abilities on the fourth season of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, which is an Indian adaptation of Dancing with the Stars.

When asked Madhuri about this she says, “Dance has always been my passion and this show is also associated with that and this is the only reason I decided to be a judge on it. It took me a while to say yes. After I went back to LA and saw Dancing with the Stars, I was convinced to take this offer.”

Our very own Dhak Dhak girl will have the company of Remo D’Souza in the panel of judges. The name of the third judge has not been reveled yet, but there are rumors that Saroj Khan may join the panel. “I have no clue who the third judge is and it will be the decision of Sony. But it will be good for me if Sarojji is the third judge. I am keeping my fingers crossed,” says Madhuri.

As a judge for the dance show, she will be concentrating on the participants poise, grace and the attitude, rest of the details will be left for the other judges. Madhuri says, “The participants on this show are well-known in their own fields. They are people who are very ambitious and will put in their best for winning this challenge. I will be looking at how they project themselves and bring their personalities in the performance.”

priyanka chpra and kareena kapoor fighting


Bollywood Gossip: That’s true. Bollywood ladies have been known for a long time for their fights but this time, its different!! Its an open catfight.

It all started in Karan Johar’s show ‘Koffee with Karan’ where Kareena Kapoor aka Bebo asked innocently as to where on earth did Priyanka Chopra get that ‘accent’ of hers. And then came the reply from Bollywood diva Priyanka chopra ‘from the same place where her boyfriend (Saif Ali Khan) got his.’ This seemed to be a smart way of reminding Kareena and everyone that apart from chote Nawab Saif Ali Khan, she had also got the good fortune to study abroad.

And here is one that stole the entire show. The question which Karan asked Priyanka Chopra about what she would like to steal from the computers of Bollywood superstars like SRK, Shahid, Kareena and others. Miss World turned Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra very promptly enquired giggling ‘Does Kareena have a computer in the first place?’

Now that’s underestimating Kareena Kapoor a bit too much. Even if she doesnt have one, Saif must have gifted her one, atleast by now. Or even better, the company for whom she models can surely gift their brand ambassador one single piece of its slim trip notebook What do you say??

Ranvir sing and anushka sharma

The newcomer in Bollywood Ranveer Singh recently made his debut in Band Baaja Baaraat opposite Anushka Sharma and confirmed that they both are very good friends. He does not bother about the rumors, which claim that they both are romantically involved. Ranveer told, “She and I are very god friends. How do I change the truth just because it sounds clichéd? Neither of us are affected about what people are saying.”



As for the rumors that are floating in the air these days, he says, “I was too much into my work to even pay attention to the rumors. I just want to perform well and this has been my only concern. In fact, I was casually dating a girl and a call from Yashraj changed my life. So far I have never been in a serious relationship and my career has just started.”



He continued saying, “We come from different schools of filmmaking. I am a trained actor and she has never been to an acting school. As a model she has faced the camera several times and is two films older to me. She is a one-take actor and I believe in a lot of rehearsal, which was the only thing that annoyed Anushka the most. Because her first take was always the best. We had to come to a middle ground before we both could take off. Now, I feel that I was rehearsing more than required because it was my first movie. She is the one who taught me how to be spontaneous. But the fact is we had to be complete loggerheads on screen and this was helped with our constant friction on the sets regarding the approach of acting.”



When asked about his first release Band Baaja Baaraat he says, “I think after this movie I have to do something with a completely contrasting character. Someone who is not opinionated, loud and unsophisticated.”



One call from Yashraj changed my life, “It was completely out of the blue from the casting director Shanu Sharma. I distinctly remember that I was out on a date and that day Shanu kept calling me. I tried to avoid her calls for as long as I could because I had different things on my mind that moment. Imagine if I had not received her call from Yashraj that day for a fling, which had lasted only for ten days! Anyways the next day I went to Yashraj and did two scenes and they gave a call back within three days. Later, Adi Sir told me that he had made up his mind about me immediately.”



There have been rumors that his father had financed the film, he says, “Yes such rumors do hurt me a lot. And such ugly things take away my pleasure of being the first solo hero to be launched by Yashraj. The pride of my family that I made it on my own got blunted, it was like snatching my little achievement from me. I am proud of myself and I believe in destiny so no rumor can even affect me

Kangana Ranaut and lip-lock mika

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has shot a music video for promotional purpose for her upcoming film, ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ starring Madhavan in the lead role where she was asked to lip-lock singer Mika who has lend his voice for the song but Kangana straightway refused saying that she is not Rakhi Sawant.

A source reveals, "Since the song has a crazy, wild and energetic vibe, the director Aanand L Rai decided to shoot it in wacky style too.

He came up with an idea for Kangna to dance with Mika in the Baraat with the video culminating with him kissing her in his infamous Rakhi Sawant style."

Kangana shot the music video with full zeal but did not give to the director’s demand. She said in disgust, "I am not Rakhi Sawant to do some thing like this".

Kangna simply says, "I was not comfortable kissing for a music video."

Salman and katrina is better than abishek and aishwarya

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan are pretty famous to make their lovey-dovey appearences before public but despite making such efforts, the couple lost out to actors Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif when it came to name the ‘HottestBollywoodcouple of the decade’.Of the total 38, ooo in an online poll, Sallu-Kats grabbed almost 36 percent of the total votes leaving Abhi-Ash to 27 percent of the same. Actors Bipasha-John scored almost 13 percent but what came as the most surprising was when Kareena-Saif was left to a mere six percent of the votes.The other categories such as ‘Hottest liplock of the decade’ and superstar of the decade were also put up as a poll.Emraan and Mallika as usual topped on the rank of the ‘Hottest liplock of the decade’ with a total of 39 percent of the votes for their famous kissing scenes in ‘Murder’.Suprisingly, ‘Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag’ and Sci-fi movie ‘Drona’ were named as the worst films with a total of 48 percent of the votes.

Dhobi ghat


Watching a 95-minute- Dhobi Ghat -Mumbai diaries has a different and a fresh way of storytelling. This film surely stands apart from our earlier films also because the narration of the characters has been showcased through different means. Like Yasmin’s life has been narrated over on the television set. The movie is about four unrelated characters, who come across each other after spending few days in the company of each other and later they slowly move onto their way of living.
The incidents that occur in the life span of these four characters surely keep the anxiety level of the on looker at a higher level.
Arun (Aamir Khan), a chain smoker and artist (painter), goes to bed with Shai (Monica Dogra), an NRI investment banker who wants to capture ‘poor India, hungry India’. Shai also gets close to Dhobi, Munna (Prateik Babbar) also invites him home for tea and then goes ahead to shoot his portfolio, as he wants to be an actor. While Shai is busy scanning the by-lanes of Mumbai with her camera, Arun gets en-tangled with his new muse, Yasmin (Kriti Malhotra), whose depressing story is filmed in abandoned tapes that he finds lying in his fresh rented apartment. Pratiek plays three characters simultaneously- a rat killer, Dhobi and a gigolo.
Kiran Rao showcases ample of potentials as fresh director. She has the guts of painting the celluloid in a different way. Indeed an
intense, intelligent film. It’s a great idea to ally characters from all spheres of life with the background of the city the film is surely a festival film and also for classes. The masses may be attracted by Aamir‘s charm.
Prateik has played all the three characters in a very subdued manner. Acting genes in the actor has been proved by his meticulous performances. Monica believed as an upper class NRI has definitely performed exuberantly, being a first timer there will be no looking back for her. Kirti Malhotara’s monologue does not bore you at all. You surely crave to know what will be her end. She deserves a pat on her back for her brilliant performances.
Aamir brings-forth his contemplative role with great burgeon; His strip of white hair will indeed steal the hearts of many a beautiful young girls.
The ending is abrupt so for traditional audiences may not like it as they are more used to the summing up of each trail.
Cinematography is pretty attractive. Music soothes ones ears. Effective editing as per the demand of the script indeed is excellent without which the film would have been a drab.
All in all Aamir Charm will surely allure the audiences and create traffic jam at the box office windows

Yana Gupta Will Not Fall Short of Panties this Year


We all know the reason behind this gift. She was photographed in a charity event in Mumbai without any inner wear and the topic got spread among the media like wild fire. Her ‘pantyless act’ made her hit once again even though the photographer, the organizer and the item girl, were sued by a social activist.
So, Yana will remember the incidence forever in her life and will never forget her panties on any occasion. Moreover, these New Year gifts will not allow her to forget it throughout this year at least.
Yana shared about her New Year gifts on the micro-blogging site Twitter saying that she can start her New Year safely with those unusual gifts and she even thanked her fans for those boxes.
However, one thing is sure that Yana will not require buying panties for this year as her fans have gifted lots of those to her on the first day of the year itself. She will have lot of choice and variety to select from for various occasions!
