Porn stars will parade at India Gate, courtesy Ekta Kapoor: KRK

We all know for a fact that Kamaal R Khan has a habit of taking a dig at almost everyone in news. And the man certainly doesn’t know how to tame his language!

As always, he took to Twitter to express his take on the kind of films Mahesh Bhatt and Ekta Kapoor have been producing off late.

He tweeted, “Ekta kapoor ji shud get honor of dirtiest lady in India who maks dirtiest hit films like Raginimms dirty picture n now #kayasupercoolhainhum(sic).”

Explaining more about what Ekta is doing to promote sex, KRK wrote, “Ekta kapoor has promised to herself ki woh sex Hindustan ke ghar ghar tak pahunchakar hi rahengi so #kayasupercoolhainhum will be super hit(sic).” And added, “If Mahesh bhatt president n Ekta kapoor is PM of india then every morning 1000 of porn stars like sunny leone will do parade at india gate(sic).”

So is KRK jealous of Ekta or Sunny Leone’s growing popularity in India?

Only KRK can answer or perhaps tweet about that.

Sohail Khan car accident case: Father Salim breaks his silence

This Khan family of Bollywood is known for being a cohesive unit and its members have always stood by each other through thick and thin. They have been subject to severe controversies in the past and are now in the news for the death of a 70 year old destitute. And the head of the parivar, Salim (father of Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail) has broken his silence on the whole event.

Apparently, Chandan Bala, the woman who was crushed to death by Sohail Khan’s car was known to the Khan family. Salim’s wife Salma would often help the homeless with money.

Salim is of the opinion that the media is blowing things out of proportion and not being just in their approach. Though the family has promised to take care of Chandra Bala’s last rights expenses, they feel they are being targeted because of their celebrity status.

Talking to a leading daily, Salim said, “It was an accident and I don`t understand why the media is raising speculation. They need to be fair and objective in their jobs. Recently, three young boys aged between 17-20, died at Juhu beach, why isn`t the media focusing on them today? Unka koi zikr nahi hai.... Why are they highlighting this story so much?”

The Khan family has maintained that Sohail was not in the car when the accident happened. His driver Dhananjay Pimple had surrendered to the Police and was released on bail eventually.

Khan also added, “It`s sad but I wonder why such accidents, where celebrities are involved, are given prominence each time? Everyone should be treated equally and you have to deal with every case according to the law. Your job as part of the media, is to report, not give opinions. I haven`t once commented on Salman`s case. I have full faith in the law and I know it will take its own course.”

I have a split personality: Veena Malik

Pakistani model-turned-actress Veena Malik, who was born as Zahida, says that she has a dual personality in real life.

"I have a split personality. Veena Malik was born when I was 10 years old. Zahida Malik`s personality is very elusive, quite. She would sit in the corner and cry all the time. She falls in love very easily. She wants to stick to one person. She has no interest in cameras and lights. She is a very simple person," Veena told reporters.

"Veena is a very different person. I have pulled Zahida out of wrong relationship. Veena is a brave person. She hardly cries. She is a very strong person. I am so thankful to my studies like psychology that helped me understand myself. I am two people at one," she added.

Veena played a double role in her debut Bollywood film ‘Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai’ released Friday.

Gear up for the uncensored version of Sunny Leone's ‘Jism 2’

This was certainly coming. Pooja Bhatt’s much hyped project, ‘Jism 2’ starring adult film actress Sunny Leone has not been received well by the Censor Board.
The director took to Twitter to vent out her angst against the Board’s suggestion to cut down on the sleaze quotient from the film’s promo to be aired on television.

She wrote, “First music promo for #Jism2 has been given an `A` certificate. And this was what one could call a truly watered down version(sic).”

Pooja’s tweets clearly show that she is mighty peeved with the Censor Board.

She added, “So the deal is this-You can`t buy spots on TV for a promo with an `A` certificate. Which basically means you can`t publicize your music!(sic).”

An adamant artiste that she is, Pooja refused to budge and decided not to take the Board’s remark seriously.

“So will I pare down the promo of #Jism2 to appease the censors? Or release it on the internet & push forward a more sanitized song on TV?(sic),” she wrote asking her followers but made up her mind not to pay heed to the Board.

She tweeted, “Absolutely REFUSE to pare my scheduled trailer down to pander to an over cautious Censor board. Will release promo on the internet instead(sic).”

Moreover, the lady has decided that she would release the uncensored promo on the internet.

She tweeted, "So we've decided to throw all caution to the winds & go ahead and release our first music promo on June 29'TH as scheduled over the INTERNET(sic)."

"Since we're going the internet way,you'll see an uncensored version! "People who get easily shocked should be shocked more often" Mae West(sic)," she added.

Taxi driver Shanno's date with Aamir Khan!

The Bollywood charmer who has made his way into the hearts of millions with new TV show ‘Satyamev Jayate’, Aamir Khan has proved that when the time comes he can walk the talk. The actor has literally taken up the role of a social crusader as he visited the capital recently to present his research on medical malpractices to a Parliamentary panel. True to his word, Aamir hired the same female cab driver Shanno (featured on his show highlighting the menace of women facing domestic violence) whom he promised he would meet if he comes to Delhi next time for any work.
A superstar without any airs, Aamir reportedly called for Shanno when he reached Delhi and as promised traveled with her all along his way to the Parliament and more. Perhaps the most reachable of all Bollywood star’s, Aamir Khan has even earlier made headlines for going out of his way to be around common people whom he befriends while he’s on his stride.

In April last year, the actor visited Varanasi to attend the wedding of a friend`s son. The friend was Ram Lakhan, an auto driver he met while travelling incognito in Uttar Pradesh, and who went all the way to Mumbai to personally deliver the wedding invitation to the ‘perfectionist’ of Bollywood.

Aamir Khan effect: Generic medicines to be available soon

Looks like Aamir Khan’s show ‘Satyamev Jayate’ has indeed done a world of good to India. The actor’s efforts are reaping fruits and the credit surely goes to him for bringing a sea change in the country’s outlook towards things.


Aamir recently met the Parliamentary panel headed by Rajya Sabha MP Shanta Kumar of the Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday to discuss core issues related to the medical fraternity, including Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in pharmaceuticals.

Though the actor refused to divulge the minutes of the meeting and its outcome, it was reported that the meet was a successful one and had the potential to bear positive results.

What followed the committee meet was an announcement by the Union Health Ministry on Friday that generic medicines will be made available at all government hospitals between October and November. Though the Ministry claimed that they did not get influenced by Aamir, their stance looked pretty much an effect of ‘Satyamev Jayate’.

Reportedly, LC Goyal, Additional Secretary, Health Ministry said that the plan would suit the pockets of the poorer section of the society and will ensure quality healthcare. Moreover, the government aims at providing free medicines to patients and will also formulate a method that will enable complete transparency in the procurement of essential drugs.

Other states will be asked to follow the model followed by Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu for holistic healthcare system.

Baby Mahi death: Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan slam state authorities

Bollywood actors Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are mighty peeved with Haryana state administration for taking four days to rescue baby Mahi, who fell into a 70 feet-deep borewell near Manesar, Gurgaon on Wednesday night.

Salman actor wonders why are borewells not covered up. Such events have been on the rise and many children have been accidentally held captive in borewells even earlier.

Salman took to Twitter to express his angst and wrote, “So angry,y don`t these idiots cover bore well`s?Hope n pray that mahi survive`s,poor baby,had to suffer 85hrs b cs of careless grownups(sic).”

However, he saluted the army men for their efforts to rescue the child.

He wrote, "Hats off to the army jawans n personnel for doing such a self less ,gr8 n commendable job , jai jawaaaannnn(sic)."

While Amitabh Bachchan is in a state of shock. He wrote, "I hope this is incorrect .. but hearing from authorities that little Mahi has not survived .. so sad and depressing !!(sic)."

He added, "We successfully launch ICM's, but could not successfully save a little child that fell into a bore well !!!(sic)."

The 5 year old child was pulled from the borewll and rushed to the hospital on Sunday afternoon. But the baby succumbed to the trauma and passed away.

Rest in peace Baby Mahi. 

Salman Khan lauded for taking injured unit member to hospital

Salman Khan on Bike

Salman Khan, who is known for being a magnanimous personality, had rushed an injured unit member on his personal vehicle to the Lilavati Hospital on Saturday after he was injured in an accident on the sets of ‘Dabanng 2’.

The staff member was one of the three to be injured on the sets. The unforeseen event occurred while filming an action sequence at Mehboob studios.

After taking the injured person to the hospital, Salman addressed the media that had gathered and said, “Everything is fine. It is just that it took us time to reach the hospital because of a traffic jam between Mehboob Studio and Lilavati Hospital.”

Talking to a leading daily, Dinesh Chaturvedi, General Secretary of Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) said, “A car jump was being filmed when the accident happened. The car was supposed to jump and land at a distance of 50 feet. Instead it went further and landed in front of the still photographer Ajay Thakur who has been seriously injured. Two other fighters Rupesh Mantri and Sudesh Kumar were also injured.”

“We are touched by Salman`s gesture of taking the injured to hospital. Such acts do not happen in our industry. I have been told that Salman will be taking care of all medical expenses of the injured and will also pay compensation,” Chaturvedi added.

Reportedly, all the injured unit members are conscious and recuperating well.

When Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina got intimate…

Yash Raj’s latest directorial venture has acted as a catalyst in strengthening the bond between co-stars Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, both professionally and otherwise.
The two, who will be seen romancing on screen for the first time ever, recently shot an intimate scene.

Talking to a leading daily, a source from the sets of the film said, “We shot the sequence at 19 Short Gardens, Covent Garden on Friday. It is a street bustling with activity, but they cleared the area for the shoot. Shah Rukh is very popular here and so is Katrina. They did not want the crowd to hamper the schedule.”

Apparently, the veteran filmmaker got emotional on seeing the rushes of the scene as he believed the duo looked awesome as a couple.

“Shooting the intimate sequence, Yashji got too emotional. When he saw the shot on the monitor, he got all nostalgic. As for Shah Rukh and Katrina, they looked very good together,” the source added.

Looks like Shah Rukh and Katrina are raring to set the silver screen on fire!

Jaya Bachchan rarely gives bites to the media be it on films or politics. And personal life? Forget it, dude! But thanks to Baby Aaradhya, the beaming granny just can’t stop gushing about her grandchild during her recent interview with London’s radio station.
Senior Mrs. Bachchan announced that Aardhya looks a bit like both her parents and is growing a good speed. She even went about praising bahu Aishwarya and said that, “Aishwarya is a hands on mom. She is sometimes overcautious. Baby Aaradhya is not intimidated by faces, she is beautiful! “

But she did not finish there. Jaya further revealed that she loves calling Aaradhya as ‘Strawberry’ because when she was born she reminded her of the fruit. Also she added, “She is always smiling!

We couldn’t disagree with you on this, dadi Jaya!

Coming Soon! Fuckru – the Pug to give sex gyaan in 'Kya Super Kool..'

Tusshar Kapoor has ganged up again with Ritesh Deshmukh and a ‘new member’ to amp-up the fun quotient in their upcoming sex comedy ‘Kya Super Kool Hain Hum’. So if you have been wondering if the ‘fresh face’ of this sex flick is going to be just another new-kid-on-the-block, then get on for a surprise here.
The insider reports tell us that this time a pug named ‘Fuckru’ is going to add a whole new wackiness to the film. The pooch was earlier said to be named ‘Fuckruddin’ but later his name was unanimously chosen to be shortened to avoid hurting any religious sentiments.
 Among Fuckru’s wacky one liners that have been gaining popularity over the web are: ‘If you can’t bed her, wed her’, ‘You need a divorce, yeah my wife was a bi*** too’ and ‘I work for the FBI - Full Body Investigation’.

With a pet like that, we are sure that this dog will hog the limelight this time!

Anushka to romance Ranbir, Aamir!

Among the new bunch of talent which inundated Bollywood to break the monotony of same old faces on the big screen; Anushka Sharma is one actress who has charmed her way into the hearts of A-list filmmakers in the industry. With her brilliant performance in her debut opposite SRK in ‘Rab Ne Banadi Jodi’ followed by a firebrand performance in ‘Band Baaja Baarat’, no wonders the actress has grabbed significant roles opposite Aamir Khan and India’s latest heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor!
Given her stunning looks and amazing figure, rumours were rife that Ranbir had recommended Anushka for the film. Anurag Kashyap for his film ‘Bombay Velvet’ was in search for a perfect girl to cast as the romantic lead opposite Ranbir. However, Anushka couldn’t accept the offer then as her dates clashed with Raju Hirani’s upcoming project titled ‘Peekay’ opposite Aamir Khan.

“There were definitely some date issues she was dealing with. That’s why the BV makers weren’t 100 per cent sure that she would sign. But now that the film has been pushed to next year, she can easily fit both in her schedule. She had already been confirmed for Peekay,” an insider for Bombay Velvet team said.

The reason why two prominent filmmakers are vying for Anushka’s time isn’t hard to understand. “The logic is simple: in that age group, she is the most talented actor in Bollywood. You don’t have an option as good as Anushka. Raju Hirani and Aamir choose Anushka (for Peekay), so it shows that she is in for big things in the future”, said a trade expert.

Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘Peekay’ goes on the floors first (towards the end of this year) followed by Bombay Velvet early next year. “Both the films are going to be very big in terms of cast and budget. Each may require as many as 150 to 200 actors. The casting for Peekay has already begun,” the source revealed.

Sunny Leone’s Twitter praises leave her in a mess!

Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, who is on the threshold of making her mainstream debut into Bollywood, has been on the receiving end of a considerable amount of flak lately. The actress, whose ‘Jism 2’ would help her introduce herself in the Hindi film industry, had recently been all praises for Mahesh Bhatt. And that did not go down well with the others!
The adult film actress had tweeted about Mahesh Bhatt some time back, “Thank you Sir for everything & directing me in all my dialogue scenes. You made it easy 4 me to follow your vision!!”

The tweet, however, ruffled up many feathers in the production team, including that of Bhatt Senior, and the latter responded with “’Jism 2’ is a Pooja Bhatt film in its absolute sense. It was born and fashioned by her passion. We all worked under her gaze.”

Sunny’s comments were meant in good humour, and were directed at Mahesh Bhatt for helping her with dialogues in the film. Another tweet from an insider read, “How can you say this Sunny? I was on the set. Pooja directed you not Bhatt saab. I am shocked by you.”

Mahesh Bhatt, however, speaking to a leading daily, later clarified the mess. The veteran filmmaker said, “Sunny is American and she does not know the manner in which film are made in India, and that is probably what led to the confusion. You see here, there is the director and then there is someone called a dialogue director who helps the actors along in the nuances of their dialogue delivery. For instance, there are many Hindi films shot in the south and the Southern actors do not know how to say things in Hindi. So a dialogue director comes in handy in such instances. I was playing the part in Pooja`s Jism 2 considering that I am also the writer of the film. I helped Sunny in her dialogues and nuances. But please be clear that it all happens under the gaze of the director. The director of the film has the final say. From its conceptualization, right down to the final scene shot, ‘Jism 2’ remains Pooja Bhatt`s film and no one else`s.”
 

Kareena set to clash with Preity Zinta and Sridevi on her birthday!

Come September 21 and Bollywood would be a battleground for the divas. Buzz has it Kareena Kapoor starrer ‘Heroine’ is slated to release on the same date as Sridevi’s comeback film ‘English Vinglish’ and Preity Zinta’s ‘Ishq in Paris’.

It’s apparent that the release of three big ticket movies on the same date i.e, Sep 21 would hamper each other’s business in various proportions. Incidentally, Kareena’s birthday is also on the same day.

Hence, it has been learnt that Sri Devi’s ‘English Vinglish’ producers Eros International are reconsidering their decision. If insiders are to be believed, Sridevi may have to bow out of the race.

According to a source close to the production house, Eros is now looking at an early October release for their venture. "They want to postpone the release of ‘English Vinglish’ by two weeks," said the source. But the director of the film Gauri Shinde`s husband R Balki said everything is going `as planned`.

"Eros may announce a new release date soon," added the source. As for Preity`s film, it will in all probability hit the theatres alongside Kareena`s ‘Heroine’.

"Among the three female- oriented films, ‘Heroine’ is definitely in most demand considering Kareena enjoys more boxoffice clout currently. Sridevi`s comeback is meant to be a special event. It has been in the pipeline for years. The makers of ‘English Vinglish’ naturally don`t want to get into a three- way battle at the boxoffice”, said a source.

So, now it’s just Preity pitted against Kareena. Let’s see who wins.
