Esha Deol-Bharat Takhtani's wedding

Here’s a dekko at the marriage that took place at the Iskcon temple in Mumbai this morning

Esha Deol and Bharat Takhtani got married in good traditional style in the presence of their near and dear ones. And while the ceremony was said to be a very private affair, we realised that it wasn’t that closed-door after all. The who’s who of B-town was there, including famous faces like Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Abhay Deol, Fardeen Khan, Rani Mukerji, Vinod Khanna, Shweta Pandit, Shaina NC, Sandip Soparrkar, Madhu, Neeta Lulla, Vyjayantimala, Anant Mahadevan and Manoj Kumar, apart from Esha’s parents Hema Malini and Dharmendra. We also spotted Neeta Ambani looking pretty in a red sari.
So take a look, BollywoodLifers, at what happened at the venue as Esha Deol got married to her long-time sweetheart Bharat Takhtani. Our heartiest congratulations to Esha and Bharat. Cheers!

India at Cannes 2012 :Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

2012-06-03T14:08:00.000+05:00

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's wardrobe was the surprise package at Cannes this year. Her first red carpet appearance since giving birth to daughter Aaradhya in November 2011, Ash's outfits were the one thing everyone in India wanted to see most. Her Cannes wardrobe was a closely guarded secret until she made a spectacular appearance in a monochrome maxidress designed by Australian designer Angelo Katsapis, that was forgiving to her post baby curves

At the amFAR gala, Ash opted for a cream chikankari sari and embroidered jacket by designer duo, Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla. We thought the ensemble made her look a tad bit matronly, but it was voted her best look by surfers in an NDTV poll.

Aishwarya's third outfit was a floral kaftan by Roberto Cavalli and strappy, high heeled Guiseppe Zanotti shoes.

The fourth dress was a veritable rabbit out the sartorial hat - a dark grey gown by Elie Saab. The dress clung to every plus size curve and revealed every extra pound she gained post pregnancy, and Ash wore it with a big smile and a toss of her head.

Movie review: 'Don 2'

2011-12-26T08:34:00.003+05:00

In this overlong film, Shah Rukh Khan plays an unrepentant, vicious, violent crime boss who the audience is supposed to find suave and likable.

Shah Rukh Khan in "Don 2". (Excel Entertainment / December 25, 2011)By Mark Olsen, Special to the Los Angeles Times

December 26, 2011

In the sequel "Don 2" the Indian movie star — frequently referred to as the biggest in the world — Shah Rukh Khan plays an international crime boss out for revenge against his enemies and profit from wealthy nations. In typical Bollywood style, the film is massively too long even by the standards of Hollywood's bloated award-season entries, stretching out what should be a zip-fast caper plot to well over two hours. That the only song-and-dance number within the story itself is situated in a nightclub is arguably the most believable thing that happens in the whole film.

Of course one doesn't head into "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol" expecting a Le Carré realist take on worldwide espionage, and one certainly shouldn't expect anything here except movie-star glamour and movie-movie cool. Khan sells hokey one-liners with the best of them, such as when after dispatching a baddie by snapping his neck on a water wheel he says, "See you around."

The genuinely strangest thing in the film is its oddball point of view, as Khan's lead character of Don is an unrepentant criminal, a killer with his hand in the international drug trade and assorted other illegal enterprises attempting to steal printing plates for the Euro in a complicated Berlin-set caper that becomes the heart of the plot. Yet the story treats him as a swashbuckling hero, overlooking the thornier undercurrents of what that might mean as Don exits a meeting by jumping off the side of a building, attached to some kind of harness line that lands him safely on the ground. Or he crawls on his hands and knees across a ceiling to get into a vault. This guy has some top-notch R&D team working somewhere.

The film is so far removed from what this story might be like if it were anywhere near the real world that the disclaimer about not representing persons living or dead comes at the beginning. (As does a laundry list of media partners and, in the public showing where this critic saw the film, a short ad for the video game adaptation. Priorities.) Director Farhan Akhtar shoots and cuts the action awkwardly, not quite knowing where to place the camera, so the film never gets the slam-bang momentum it might want.

"Don 2" apes the slick gloss and advertorial style of Michael Bay and something of the substance of an international espionage thriller while attempting to hold onto the notion that its main character is a vicious thug but also still a suave, likable playboy. Fitfully enjoyable, the film's leaden pacing and drawn-out running time make the twists of the plot less hairpin turns and more like bends in a river — moving so slowly you can see everything coming from the distance.

Jaqueline Fernandez on Sex Appeal

2011-11-13T13:38:00.001+05:00

Success has finally come to the actress who started off with the lukewarm Aladin followed by disastrous Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. “It’s been a long and patient journey,” she begins. “Aladin was a good launch pad; unfortunately it didn’t do well at the box office. The industry can be ruthless if your film doesn’t do well, or if you don’t have the right friends, or hang out with cool people. But now with Murder 2 being a success, I’ve noticed a change in people’s attitude,” says the actor who will appear in the Tamil film Mankatha.

She knew the role in the Mahesh Bhatt's thriller Murder 2 was small. “In fact, when I heard the narration I liked the other girl’s (played by Sulagna Panigrahi) role.” While her sexiness is the USP of her role in Murder 2, she doesn’t fear being stereotyped in similar roles. “Honestly, I don’t think I’m conventionally beautiful. I can be glamorous with make-up, hair and clothes. But I’m average looking.

“At times, I look ugly too. There are many girls out there who are stunning. So I’ll have to depend on my acting skills to stay in the game,” she observes. “I need to be comfortable in front of the camera before moving into experimental roles. Though Murder 2 was experimental in a way, some scenes demanded performance. That scared me. I don’t know how good an actor I am, I’ve never been to a drama school. But I don’t want to be dubbed a bad actor.”

The actress has her sights set on bigger and better stuff. But she’s practical too. She knows her limitations and yet she’s ready to go beyond them, she tells me when I enquire if she sees herself portraying a character like Rani’s in Black or Kareena’s in Omkara. “Maybe the sexy image was needed to carry my career forward,’’ she reasons. ‘‘I see myself depicting stronger characters in the future. But yes, it will scare me to death to do a performance like Rani’s. But I guess with preparation I’ll pull it off.” She wants to work with Aamir Khan and that’s not surprising. “I’ve worked with him in a commercial. I’m in awe of Aamir. I like his vision, his take on cinema and how he executes it. I like Vishal Bhardwaj’s work too. I like quirkiness in directors.”

With her family back in Sri Lanka, Jacqueline has slowly found her groove in Mumbai. “My family worries a lot about me. They know staying in Mumbai all alone is not easy,” she says. “If I belonged to this country or if I were comfortable with the language, things would have been different. I’m 25 now but I feel I’m so much older because of all I have gone through, tackling so many issues.

Growing up fast
“I manage my career, travel on my own and pay my own taxes. But all this has helped me mature as a person, become more aware.” The ex Miss Sri Lanka confides her journey has been an eye opener. “There have been ups and down, stress and respite, happiness and sadness too. It’s a difficult industry to be in if you don’t have someone to fall back upon, someone guarding you or protecting you. It can make you vulnerable. At the same time your success is sweeter, if you’ve done it on your own.” She adds, “I can’t share my feelings with my parents because they wouldn’t understand. And you can’t depend on people you work with either. You can only trust yourself. I realised that things eventually fall into place.”

She’s cautious enough not to trample on anyone’s toes or hurt anyone’s ego. ‘‘You don’t want to do anything which will jeopardise your career. There are people in position who can make others turn against you and make things difficult for you. You do feel like a victim then. It’s difficult not to make enemies in the industry. You have to protect yourself.”

Jacqueline denies ever having encountered the casting couch. “Is it a myth?” she counter enquires. “I’ve experienced no such thing. What helped me was I got Aladin soon after coming to India.” She however adds, “As much as such things happen, it can also arise from a person who’s desperate enough for work. I knew it was not worth going into that zone. Those who intend to take advantage realise this especially with the media being so active now. It would be too much of a risk.” She adds, “I’ve always had work. I never had to run for money. And even if I were going through difficult times, I’d never exude that kind of a vibe.”

She goes on to say she’s a private person. “I’m not best friends with anyone. I’m a little cautious. I prefer keeping things to myself.” She’s fond of her industry friends though. “I’m friends with everyone I’ve worked with — Riteish Deshmukh (Na Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai), Sujoy Ghosh (director of her debut Aladin), Sonal Sehgal (Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai …), Milap Zaveri (director of Jaane Kahan…). They’re people I enjoy spending time with.’’ She however is miffed by the stories that appear about her in print. “This lovely story was written about Sujoy buying me a car. Where the hell do such stories come from?” she asks exasperatedly. “If it’s just about me then I can handle it but if there are other people involved it affects me. It makes things so unnecessarily uncomfortable. There’s no chance to explain yourself or clear the air. But if it’s a story with someone I know well, like Sujoy or Riteish (Deshmukh), we laugh it off.”

Rumour has it...
A lot has also been spoken about her friendship with Riteish. “Ritesh is very special to me. I made my debut opposite him. He was in my second film too. Apparently, he has also helped her in her career. “Riteish is someone who respects the fact that I like to get things on my own merit. I’ve never got anything on his recommendation. When a song in Housefull (Apni toh jaise taise) was offered to me, he had no idea. I called him up and informed him. I wouldn’t like it if he interfered or stuck his nose into my work. I know what I am worth and how hard I have worked. It’s nice that he respects that.”

Wonder grain that trims your inches

Wonder grain that trims your inches (Thinkstock photos/Getty Images)

Here is a wonder grain which can trim your inches considerably!

A unique grain, barley is filled with benefits manifold. Extremely low in calories it acts as a wonderful diet supplement and helps maintain a slim stature. Being low in cholesterol, it is known to reduce cholesterol levels.

The core ingredient in this highly useful grain is beta-glucan that is also found in oat bran. Explaining it's benefits nutritionist Aruna Kulkarni elaborates, "Barley is packed with insoluble fibre which retains water. So it flushes out intestinal contents with great speed. This also minimises the risk of cancer, since the possibility of harmful elements accumulating in the intestines is less. It is also a good cure for digestive problems like constipation."

While the market is filled with varieties like pearl, pot or whole hulled barley, the latter is known to possess the maximum health benefits. Being from the brown family, whole hulled barley has twice the fibre and vitamins compared to the other varieties. Although the pearl variety is the most refined, it contains ample quantity of iron and fibre.

Barley water is a boon for kidneys as well. It can combat arthritic and rheumatic problems if consumed in large quantities. It is advisable to prepare your own barley water rather than picking up the readymade stuff as it is known to be laded with excess preservatives and sugar. Kulkarni shares with us the recipe of making an ideal glass:

- Boil 1 kg of barley until soft

- Strain the extract

- To make it tasty mix fresh lemon or orange juice

- One can add Demerara or golden sugar if required

- Can be used for longer periods if refrigerated

If stored in a dark place, away from the light, barley pods can last up to one year. So, make this wonder grain a part of your daily diet regimen. Include it in soups, cereals, salads or have it plain, and raise a toast to your good health.

Kangna's The Chosen One
The's making some smart moves but has ruffled a few feathers in the bargain!
Kangna Ranaut's schmoozing with biggies like Ajay Devgn and Salman Khan is paying rich dividends. Ajay almost fought with Rohit Shetty to sign her for his next, Singam. Salman Khan too is giving her tips on promoting Tanu Weds Manu and recommending her to producers. But the biggest coup is her friendship with Sanjay and Manyata Dutt that fetched her a role in Dutt's home production Rascals and Double Dhamal. But this good fortune has irked some B'wood ladies, notably Ameesha Patel, Katrina and Sonakshi Sinha. Katrina detects a threat since whoever Salman touches, turns into a superstar! Ameesha considers the Dutts to be her family and feels slighted that Kangs was chosen over her for his home-production. And Sonakshi is watching this 'friendship' with Sallu closely because she behaves as if she practically owns him! Meanwhile Kangna is making hay while the sun on her career shines bright.

Kat Turns Producer To Launch Sister
The industry, obsessed with star gharanas, has been waiting endlessly for the debut of Kat's sister Isabel.
The older Kaif has now decided that celebrity begins at home. She will not only produce a movie to launch Isabel but also star alongside with her to guarantee her an audience.
Having learned the importance of family and family names in Bollywood, she seems geared to pull out all stops to make things easier for her sibling.
Kat has anyway been planning to get into production for a while. A source close to her says, "She would have turned producer some time ago.
She has almost bought the rights of a French film for which she wants to play a female soldier along the lines of Goldie Hawn's Private Benjamin.

Shahid Kapoor To Grow Old...Again
Priyanka Chopra aged in Saat Khoon Maaf and now her ex, Shahid Kapoor will grow old in Kunal Kohli's film. Determined to shed his boyish image Shahid wants to do roles that take him away from the dancing-dude campus-caper image. He is already playing an older guy in his dad Pankaj Kapur's directorial debut Mausam. Kohli's film requires him to go through several phases of life until the character reaches old age. Shahid has done a series of disguises in Badmaash Company, but to show a man aging in front of the audiences' eyes is not going to be easy. In Kunal's film, the age-span of his character is far wider than in Mausam and prosthetics will be needed. The director admits, "I did spend a lot of time with Shahid in Goa discussing his look. I can't reveal what is required of him. But for Shahid who's a brilliant actor, it is important to constantly push the envelope. He can't repeat himself. The roles in both the films are very different."

Bollywood actress Sridevi, who walked the ramp for ace designer Neeta Lulla as the show stopper at the Lakme Fashion Week, came across as very nervous and saved herself twice from falling flat on the ramp.

However, the actress still found the experience of walking the ramp quite pleasant. "It was great but at the same time very hard for me," she told reporters here.

The designer was elated too and revealed: "It was fantastic that on my 25th anniversary Sridevi walked the ramp and so many people actually made it to the show.

Bollywood Star Flight Attitude!

2010-09-02T22:33:00.000+05:00

Ever wondered how some of our stars behave when they are flying high?

Preity Zinta: (The happy flier)

Not many people are fond of airline food but Preity Zinta isn’t one of them! She loves to gorge on airline food, and has particular fondness for airline sweets and desserts.

Ranbir Kapoor: (The humble flier)
If you find a guy with dark glasses seated quietly in economy, that’s Ranbir! He preferred to travel this way for Wake up Said and Rajneeti! Airline crews love him.

Katrina Kaif: (The diva flier)
Katrina has a strange rule while she travels – she doesn’t talk to flight attendants. Instead, she shoots orders to her manager who conveys her orders and demands to the crew members!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: (The fussy flier)
So used to all her luxuries is Ash that she hates settling for second best, even when flying. Picky about how a dish looks, Ash demands that she be shown all the items on the menu and then picks the one that looks the most appealing to her!

Hrithik Roshan: (The chatty flier)
The super star has absolutely no hand ups and obliges all his co-passengers with photographs and autographs. He also jokes and gets chatty with the airline crew.

The Kapoor Sisters: (The gracious fliers)
A favourite with most airline crews, Karisma and Kareena are very low maintenance. Elegant and polite they don’t make incessant demands and always oblige fans seeking autographs or pictures.

Farhan Akhtar: (The friendly flier)
Farhan loves his tea or coffee so much that he always makes it himself, even while on flight. On board, the director-turned-actor can be found in the pantry chatting with the crew over cups of tea.

Imran’s Cute Gesture
The other day due to unforeseen circumstances Imran Kahan was forced to travel by economy class. Naturally everyone in that section was quite excited to see the actor take his seat amidst them. They converged on him in a bid to get his autograph. A kid in the corner wanted to click a photograph with the actor. But the cabin crew wouldn’t allow pictures as it was against the airline’s policies. The dejected kid returned to his seat. But imagine his surprise when after the flight, the actor went up to him and his mother and asked them for a picture. The kiddo couldn’t believe his luck and went home smiling all the way.

Kajol’s Angry With Ajay!

Kajol has reason to be angry. Very angry. And the reason has hubby Ajay Devgn scratching his head in sheer embarrassment. So what’s the reason? It’s Ajay’s total lack of time to catch Kadz’s brilliant movies. Apparently, his hectic schedule still hasn’t allowed him to catch wifey’s My Name Is Khan. And when he was asked if this was true, he had no answer.
“I promised her I’d catch it. And I will. Just as soon as I’m done with all my release work for Once Upon A Time In Mumbai. But I’m proud of one thing. I’ve caught the promos of We Are Family and I think she’s looking great in it as always. In fact, I plan to catch that and MNIK too,” grinned Devgn. But actually, the lad’s been working so hard it’s not even funny.

Sonam Troubles Abhay!

Oh no! Get ready to put on the calories. And if you can put on weight by just watching a movie, then Aisha is it for weight gain. Simple. It has a ‘calorie couple’ in it. That’s what Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol are. In an interview many differences cropped up between the two, showing that they are as different as chalk and cheese. Getting a trifle upset at Abhay’s constant teasing, she retorted, “You are such a Chocolate boy in this movie. Remind you of any real life comparison?” Taken aback, Abhay retorted, “Chocolate boy, me? Far from it. In fact, you are the Lollipop girl. All sugar and candy.” At which her mild irritation subsided and she laughed, “So much sweetness happening. We will all get fat.” But the name has stuck. The Choco boy and Lollipop girl may be saccharine sweet to each other, but for one minute don’t miss the spice. It’s all there sweeties

Adnan SAMI'S Third InningsA

2010-04-25T23:45:00.000+05:00

SAMI'S
Third Innings

Exactly a year after his second marriage fell apart, the singer-composer wed Roya in January. In an exclusive interview, the newlyweds talked about their hush-hush wedding, dealing with controversies surrounding his previous relationships and wanting kids

If he could have had his way, Adnan Sami would have proposed to Roya Faryabi in a dhaba. But carefully considering his Afghani, Munich-based wife's delicate disposition, the singer-composer went traditional, choosing a candle lit dinner at a posh restaurant and slipping the ring on her finger in one smooth move before she could even blink. “She exclaimed, 'What is this?’” remembers Adnan 34, with Roya 25, giggling softly by his side, “I said, 'Well, it's not candy, but it's as sweet.' I was over the moon when she accepted. I adore Roya.”
That was almost three months ago. On the evening of Jan. 29, at a private nikah ceremony at Adnan's plush home in Mumbai, the two became man and wife. The only guests were the couple's immediate family members, including Adnan's 15-year-old son Azaan.

'I Would Love To Sing For Pak Movies'
“I love Pakistan a lot and if any good offer comes from Lollywood, I would love to render my voice for Pakistani movies,” says Adnan who was on a short visit to Lahore alongwith his third wife.
“My wife Roya has accompanied me on this trip to Lahore. I am eager to show her around this historically rich city and to let her taste the true flavours of Punjab's exotic cuisine” Adnan expressed his views in an exclusive interview.
He further added that it is a bitter reality that the Indian film music is rapidly reaching the pinnacle of success and has gained worldwide fame and popularity whereas Pakistani music industry still has to go extra miles to get recognised at the international level.
He was of the view that Pakistani too has a treasure trove of gifted musical singers. Like in every other field, he said that Pakistan and India need to cooperate in the field of music and film also so that artists from both the nations would get equal opportunity to display their talent.
Answering a question, he said that he was of the view that the marriage of Indian tennis star with Shoaib Malik is a very positive step towards pacifying the rivalry between the two nations.
While speaking about his meeting with Nawaz Sharif, Adnan said, “I am grateful to him for the love and respect he had shown for me and Roya.”

The bride wore a traditional lehnga for the first time, a peacock-blue ethereal creation, and the groom a midnight blue raw silk achkan, both designed by their good friend, designer Shahid Amir. “The ring Adnan slipped on my finger was so special because this is the first gift that Baba gave Ammijaan (Adnan's mother)” reveals Roya, holding up an eternal band of diamonds. “My ring for Adnan is unique too. I lost my brother a few years ago and my mother had designed this gold band for his wedding. We were shocked when she gave it to Adnan. It was a priceless gesture.”
Ironically, Adnan and Roya wed exactly a year after his second marriage fell apart and his then wife Sabah Galadari went to the police station, accusing the singer of domestic abuse. On the night of Jan. 29, 2009, Sabah alleged that things turned ugly after a furious row and Adnan hurt her with a cigarette butt - charges that the singer has hotly refuted.
Today, the memory lingers, but Roya and Adnan have put it behind them and happily so, they are even able to make light of it. “When I proposed, I told Roya, 'You do know that I have a reputation for domestic violence?' She replied, 'Don't worry. I'm a black belt in taekwondo, my five sisters know karate and my father is a retired army general,” narrates Adnan.
Despite it being marriage No. 3 for Adnan, the two have hurtled into love since the moment they set eyes on each other six months ago, when Roya dropped by with her family to watch the singer during a recording at a studio in Suburban Mumbai. Adnan was love struck immediately, while Roya was wooed by his charm, his constant messaging and phone calls.

While the two were faintly acquainted with each other because their fathers, both diplomats, had been friends, they met for the first time last year. The couple feel their love is destined; after all, Roya is a technical engineer with a telecommunications company in Germany and it is only her strong passion for classical music that drew her to pop

When Adnan Broke Into Tears…
Adnan Sami Khan broke into sobs while listening to the song, 'Awaz de kahan hai, dunya meri jawan hai' sung by Saira Naseem. She was invited to perform at the reception hosted by PPP's General Secretary and Senator Jehangir Badar in honour of Adnan and his wife. When Saira noticed tears in Adnan's eyes, she paused for a while and said, “I am singing here to make you happy not to bring tears in your eyes,” to which Adnan Sami replied, “This song reminds me of my father, it was his absolute favourite.”

by Adnan's recording that particular day.
“I'm a traditional girl, even though we've lived many years in Munich. When marriage proposals came for me, I always had several questions in my head. With Adnan, I had none. I completely trusted him. In fact, I used to ask him, 'Why is this going so fast?'” Roya reveals, shaking her head in amazement. It was Adnan's deep caring nature and love that attracted Roya; she says the singer was always there for her, even starting her day in Munich by enquiring whether she had eaten breakfast.
Roya began flying down often to meet Adnan, their love blossoming in spite of being miles apart. One of the most important visits included her first introduction to Adnan's teenaged son Azaan, who mostly lives with his mother in Karachi. “It was essential for me to know what my child felt because I got Azaan back after 10 years,” says Adnan. “They first met as friends at a dinner I hosted for both our families. After the meeting, I asked him, 'Bachche, what do you think?' He said, “Babs (short for Baba), honestly, go for it!” Adnan laughs that his new wife and Azaan are so thick today that on movie nights, they gang up against Adnan's fondness for old classics.
It all spells out happily ever after, but like every couple, Adnan and Roya have shared the bad and the good. The singer's relationship with first wife Zeba is cordial today and he admits that the marriage fell apart because they “grew out of each other”.
Last year, he extricated himself from a messy divorce with Sabah. The singer claims that Sabah couldn't handle his female fans fawning over him and that she had scant respect for his parents. “My family is sacred to me. You mess with them, you mess with me,” he said.
Adnan remarried Sabah in April 2007, three years after they first divorced in April 2004.
It's a lot of baggage for a new relationship and Roya says it's important that the two trust each other totally.
Despite the scars from previous marriages, the couple hasn't signed a pre-nup. How is this marriage different from Adnan's previous two? “Well, it's pleasant!” he says and laughs, then sobers up, “Every marriage has its good moments. It's what destiny ordains. Roya understands my profession and that when female fans go berserk, it's because of my persona. It's not easy seeing your husband like that, but what's important is trust and communication.”
With things turning so acrimonious with Sabah, Adnan's property too got dragged into the battle as he had transferred some flats in his ex-wife's name. Posed with the question whether he would buy property in Roya's name, Adnan pauses dramatically and grimaces, while Roya hurriedly states that she wouldn't even want him to. “I'm an emotional Leo. I learn my lesson, then I go and make my next mistake!” admits Adnan.
Now that they've found each other, it's difficult being apart. Roya plans to continue working for the same telecom company, but is already winding up things in Munich so that she can make Adnan's “house into a home”. And yes, children are on the cards and the musician claims Roya's warmth, beauty and understanding have made him look forward to the future. “You have to admit, she was pretty much dived into the deep end of the pool when she agreed to marry me. She gives me strength because she is a home-maker and has such unconditional love,” Adnan says. In the

The Visit To Lahore
After the third fairytale wedding of renowned (read notorious) singer Adnan Sami Khan, the dude recently decided to take his better half Roya Faryabi, to Lahore and then his hometown Islamabad. The trip was to better acquaint Roya with his country and traditions. On hearing of their arrival quite a few political parties as well as their family and friends threw amazing bashes for them. After all, Pakistanis had to let the girl know of their hospitable ways and manners. Besides meeting friends and family, on the agenda was a tour of the historical sites of the city which was however stunted due to Adnan's sudden health issues.
It was during their stay in the city that the couple visited the Nawaz clan at Raiwind. Adnan later revealed that during their meeting Sharif and he had discussed various issues including music. It was at this point that Adnan came up with a plan of singing with Sharif who is known for his love of music. In fact not just Nawaz, but Shahbaz Sharif is also famous for his singing talent. Shahbaz has been known to intersperse his public addresses with his singing. Let's see what political concoction brims out of this duo's musical cup.

meantime though, the couple has two wedding receptions, in Munich and Mumbai, to plan.
A couple of years ago, the singer had admitted that he endured an arduous battle with the bulge to woo back Sabah. What would he do for Roya? “Lose more weight?” he says with a laugh, “Seriously, Roya is the love of my life and I will go out of my way to make her happy.”

My Name Is Kajol

2010-03-23T16:30:00.003+05:00

Classic, beautiful, elegant. These are just some of the words you would use to describe Kajol – returning Queen of Bollywood.
Kajol is arguably the greatest Bollywood actress for the last two decades. This is the woman who we felt empathy for in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, who we cried with in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and who we laughed with in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Throughout her almost twenty years reign in Bollywood Kajol has managed to capture the hearts of avid movie-goers across the world, as well as becoming one of the most sought after and loved actresses.
Her Cheshire cat smile exposes a full set of pearly white teeth. Her huge curious eyes have a childlike innocence to them and her smile exudes warmth the kind that could put anyone at ease. There’s something unassuming and likeable about Kajol. She has a confidence not arrogance about her.
Hailing from a family of who’s who of Bollywood (her mother is the famous actress Tanuja and she is also Rani Mukherjee’s cousin), acting was a natural progression for Kajol. She made her debut in 1992 with the film Bekhudi, but it was three years later, in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, that audiences sat up and really took notice of her partially for her charismatic yet relatable portrayal of the film’s dreamy heroine Simran, and partially for the instant, can’t-take-your-eyes-off-them chemistry she shared with her co-star Shahrukh Khan. The world became captivated by the pair’s on-screen presence and they went on to appear in a string of films together, each one a bigger success than the other. So what is it about the two that drives fans crazy and puts the media into frenzy? “I honestly don’t know,” Kajol replies. “When we work together it’s a great fun, we’re on the same page, we think alike and we’re just comfortable with each other.”
Now, eight years since their last appearance together, the two had reunited for My Name is Khan (released earlier this year).
Kajol, who once famously stated that acting was only something she did for leisure (“it takes a lot to get me on the TV screen”) is now back in the acting scene. “It was an easy choice,” she says. “Karan Johar approached me and said he was doing a film, and that Shahrukh Khan would be in it, and that’s all it took for me to agree.” The actress is full of praise for her co-star. “I’ve missed working with him. He takes such good care of me. He cares about people.” Eight years seem like a long time I muse, had he changed in any way? “He’s more detailed with his work and he’s more willing to take chances,” she explains. “He has definitely grown up for the better. He is a true gentleman,” she says. “But it can get annoying – he’s too perfect!”
In My Name Is Khan, Kajol plays the part of Mandira a vivacious Hindu girl. The character, in many ways, seems to have been made for her. “I do identify with Mandira in some ways,” she muses. “She’s a strong woman, a mother, she can be a little cynical and jaded and mad – I think I identify with that part the most!”
It’s her ability to empathise and bring a part of herself into the characters she plays make Kajol so relatable. Whether it’s the innocence of a blind girl in Fanaa, or a ‘mad’ streak in My Name Is Khan, Kajol manages to bring all her roles to life. “I have grown up a lot,” she states. “I don’t think I’d have been able to do My Name Is Khan ten years ago so that shows how much I’ve grown as an actress. I think I’ve become a better person too, although I’m still working on it.” So what’s the recipe for a successful career? “Hard work is the most important thing,” she claims. “Talent and luck are important too, but they play a small part in success. To be a good actress you need soul, heart and observation.”
Family plays an important part in Kajol’s life. Since the birth of her daughter, Nysa, in 2003, she almost disappeared from our screens, opting to be a stay-at-home mum. Her expressive and animated face visibly softens as she talks about her. “Motherhood has definitely changed me,” she says. “For one thing my stomach will never look the same again.” The actress swells with pride as she continues talking about her daughter. “As a mother I have to lead an exemplary life. I can’t be bad even if I want to! I’d like to think I’m the villain. I’m the one who feeds her medicine, tells her off and makes her go to bed. I hope and pray that I’m a good mum. No one is perfect and I’m learning every day.” So are there any plans on expanding her little family? “I definitely want more children,” she says. “I’d love to adopt.” There seems to be a growing trend for celebrities to adopt orphans, I wonder whether Kajol is just jumping on the bandwagon. “No!” she exclaims. “I thought of it much before Madonna it’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was eight years old.”
The actress has also been happily married to fellow actor, Ajay Devgan, for 11 years (that’s a long time in Bollywood land). The couple have enjoyed a happy, scandal-free marriage. So what’s her secret? “Partial deafness,” she replies matter-of-factly. “Anyone who is married will understand what I mean by this.” Kajol smiles warmly as she goes on to describe her recipe for a happy marriage. “It means compromis-ing with each other, choosing your battles wisely and making the effort every day. A car needs effort to work and that’s just a machine so can you imagine how much effort you have to give to a relationship?” Kajol’s non-nonsense attitude to relationships seemed to work. After marrying Ajay in 1999 she took a break from acting to enjoy married life. Then after an extensive break she secured a comeback in 2006 with Fanaa, a romantic drama with Aamir Khan. Then in 2008 Kajol returned to our screens for her husband’s directional debut. “Working with Ajay was great,” she muses cheerfully. “During U, Me Aur Hum he would call and check on Nysa in the morning and evening so that saved me from some worry!” I mention that people usually say working with a partner can cause problems. “I don’t understand why people would say that because I seriously had a good time working with Ajay,” she says. “He’s such a good director and he gave me the space to be an actress.”
Kajol is next set to appear in the Bollywood remake of Stepmom (the Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon blockbuster), which she stars in alongside Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. Two of Bollywood’s hottest actresses working together there must have been some kind of tension right? “I had a blast with Kareena,” Kajol exclaims. “Before we started shooting I expected to like her but I never thought I’d miss her. She’s such good fun on set and when she wasn’t there I’d really miss her.” It’s hardly the kind of gossip fodder tabloids would kill for but then again Kajol has never been the type to attract scandal or controversy. Her down-to-earth, lovable persona means that there is never a bad word said about her. So, no Page three scandal, public spats or mean words for anyone, is there anything that irks Kajol?! “I get really annoyed with bad traffic,” she says. “There are lots of things when my coffee isn’t made properly in the morning, when people talk to me in the morning and I haven’t had my coffee.”

Is Zarine Khan Salman’s New Love?

Is Zarine Khan Salman’s New Love?

Zarine Khan, people say, has replaced Katrina Kaif as the love in Salman Khan’s life. And thereby hangs a tale. The love story, according to the grapevine, is going on the same predictable lines as Salman’s earlier affairs. Salman, reportedly, falls in love with full fervour, unfailing every time. The girl in question finds herself the centre of Salman’s coterie. She’s swarmed by newfound family and friends. The film industry too takes it all in its stride. Doors, which were closed to her earlier, magically open. Filmmakers go out of their way to give her a role and if it is opposite Salman, the better for them. The last beneficiary of Salman’s wizardry was Katrina Kaif, who has reportedly parted ways with the star. Of course, we also hear rumours that they are still very much attached to each other but that’s neither here nor there. Now we hear that Salman is going all out to promote Zarine and she’s likely to replace Katrina Kaif in Partner 2.
