Katrina turned 24 on 16th August and to celebrate her birthday, Salman Khan threw a huge party which was attended by the biggest names from the film industry - Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Aamir Khan, Imraan Khan and Ranbir Kapoor. Katrina's mother and sister were also a part of the show.
During the bash Salman went down on his knee's and proposed to Katrina, while the Mujshe Shaadi Karogi song from one of Salman's films was playing in the background. Katrina was shocked beyond words.
"She didn't know how to react with Salman's gesture" says a source who attended the party.
But Salman on his blog declared "There is a saying, 'Shaadi woh ladoo hai jho khaye woh bhi pachtaye jo naa khaye woh bhi pachtaye. And I don't like sweets, so it doesnt concern me."
Wonder if Salman will ever marry? What do you guys think?

Bollywood Gossip - Kismet Connection Vs Contract
After last week's releases, which include Mehbooba and Mukhbiir, proved to be damp squibs at the box office, Bollywood trade circles have now set their eyes on Kismat Konnection and Contract that are releasing this Friday.
After the poor performances of Good Luck and Rituparno Ghosh's Khela as well, both the new movies are worth looking forward to because two fine directors, Aziz Mirza and Ram Gopal Varma, are at the helm.
While Mirza is known for making light-hearted romantic fare, Varma scores when he makes gangster movies dealing with subjects related to the underworld.
As Mirza has returned to direction after five years - his last directorial venture was "Chalte Chalte" - so has Varma visited a gangster movie to direct after six years since "Company" in 2002.
Kismat Konnection has generated a lot of expectations also because this is Shahid Kapur's second release after last year's hit Jab We Met, in which he was paired with his ex-love Kareena Kapoor.
Will his kismat (luck) stays with him through the release of Kismat Konnection, sans Kareena? For Shahid-Kareena made a fantastic pair in Jab We Met. Will his pairing with Vidya Balan in Kismat Konnection work equally well for the both?
"Comparison is uncalled-for, because both Jab We Met and Kismat Konnection have approached romance in different ways. All three are good artists, but there are roles in which some fit and others do not. Vidya fits in the role of Priya she has done in my film," said Mirza.
The other attractions of the movie are the boisterous presence of Juhi Chawla and the voiceover given by Shah Rukh Khan.
Contract, on the other hand, has no stars to boast of other than the director himself. Newcomer Adhvik Mahajan is playing the main lead in it.
Since Varma finds himself in his element when he directs gangster films, Contract is expected to be a hard-hitting movie like his previous hits - Satya and Company.
But, according to Varma, Contract is not exactly a gangster movie. It is mainly about the underworld's links with terrorism told through a terrorist who is well aware of the gangland activities.
After the lukewarm response to Sarkar Raj, will non-star-cast Contract succeed at the box office?
"Since it is a theme-based film, it will be a slow-starter, but eventually may do well through word-of-mouth publicity," said a trade analyst.
Some distributors of Contract reportedly, had suggested Varma to defer the release till August in order not to avoid clash with Kismat Konnection. But he refused to oblige them, reasoning that the two are diametrically opposite movies.

"Participants were supposed to remain under water in a tank (for few seconds). Anzar also did the same but he fell unconscious. When he did not came out for about 10 minutes, his friends raised an alarm," said police officer D S Baghel.
"The organisers instead of rescuing him fled the scene. Later the people witnessing the show brought him out of the tank and rushed him to a nearby private nursing home," Baghel said

Bollywood Gossip - New man in Sonam Kapoor’s life
Bollywood Gossip : Looks like Bollywood Actress Sonam Kapoor has found her new love in Kunal Kapoor. This Bollywood Kapoor Jodi is nowadays often scene roaming around coffee shops, malls, 
etc with hand in hand.
Looking at the recent happenings in both the stars life they really could heal each others broken heart. Where Ranbir Kapoor dumped Sonam for hottie Deepika Padukone, Kunal Kapoor too had a break up with gorgeous Dia Mirza.
So the couple could surely understand each other's situation and try to bring happiness on their respective lives. Especially, Anil Kapoor's daughter Sonam was so depressed after her break up with Ranbir that she went for a 2 months hideout.
But we would like to warn this emotional girl about Mr Kunal who has not only ditched Diya Mirza but also has an flirtatious history of dumping Raima Sen.
Being an emotional girl we would recommend Sonam to think twice before moving ahead in her relationship with this flirt natured guy.

India’s first crorepatni - Prajyoti Samal
Meet Prajyoti Samal from Bhuvaneshwar who remarks that she is quite literally from many places in India! She is the first woman to win a crore on a reality show on Indian 
television that too in SRK's Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain.
Born in Bhuvaneshwar, Pragjyoti has studied under many South Indian teachers, works in a software firm in Kolkata and has auditioned for Paanchvi Pass from Bhopal.
Her diverse background has helped her learn many languages which she uses in her everyday conversations and now her family and friends are quite used to it.
Pragjyoti, who is single, was one of the zillions of contestants who'd SMS to the question that flashed on the screens to gain entry to Paachvi Pass. "All contestants had to appear for a test on the phone, followed by a written test as well as camera audition rounds."
The contestant has not yet decided what she will do with the prize. The cheque will be hers after the episode airs. "It has yet to sink in… maybe after the telecast it will. As they say: I will cross the bridge when I come to it."
Samal is a big SRK fan now.
While talking to press she told, "Initially, I was nervous. But when I met him, he made me very comfortable. I felt he was a friend, who I'd met weeks ago. I never felt that I was meeting the Badshah of Bollywood. Now, I am a big fan of him and respect him even more".
We hear that Shah Rukh Khan's game show may go off air as early as by the end of July. In TRP terms the game show was never good enough for King Khan. Its TRP never went beyond 4.

Bollywood Gossip - Punishment SMS from Shah Rukh Khan
New Delhi, May 21: The Kolkata Knight Riders owner, Shah Rukh Khan, may not attend the team's next (and last) match at home, against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday, too. He was not present at the Eden last night either.
Shah Rukh has, among other things, conveyed that to the team via an emotional, highly motivational and lengthy SMS this afternoon. He also dismissed talk of differences between him and captain Sourav Ganguly and coach John Buchanan.
The team is in the capital for tomorrow's Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against the Delhi DareDevils.
The following is the SMS, forwarded to The Telegraph by a member of the Knight Riders squad:
"Story time boys... I told you if you keep losing you have to bear with my long, boring msgs.... This is your punishment.... Many times I have made movies which don't do well.... When I'm doing them, of course, I don't know they won't do well.... The story is written by somebody else and I just do my bit as an actor. But I have a way of dealing with flop stories..., I try my best to keep my character in the film at a level that it makes a failed story also special for me....
"I enjoy the work.... I make jokes about the failure.... And, of course, feel awful about it too.... So, right now, all of us have become part of a failed script... A bad IPL script.... Let's try and keep our characters worthy of still looking back at this story and remembering it as a special story becos we all worked very hard at this....
"So, chin up and don't spoil yr character in the next two games.... Let's go out with a bang and not a whimper.... In films, we say u r only as good as yr last film.... So let's make the whole world know how good we r in the last (maybe not) two games...
"Also, do ignore all this bit about Dada, me and John having issues.... It's a normal thing in the world.... People like to hit you when u r down.... So, we will be hit.... No stress.... It will make us stronger.... The only way to avoid this is to win.... That's one of the reasons why everybody likes to be a winner....
"On the other hand, the beauty of failure is that it brings people together.... So, let's stick this out together.... You know me well enuff to know I am not the kind of owner who has issues with the team 'cos of losses... I am too much of a sport myself to get beaten by defeats.... Like you guys are.... Like Dada and John....
"I am still trying to understand the code of conduct expected of me at the matches of the IPL.... ICC... Etc.... After I understand it, I will decide whether to accept it or not.... Till such time, I will be with you guys at the hotel... in the meetings etc., but won't come for the matches.... So, please don't ever feel it is anything to do with us as a team....
"I am as dedicated to my Knights as I am to my kids.... Only, I won't be coming to the class room till the headmaster's rules are understood by me.... I am a bit anti-Establishment kind of a guy, so I apologise for this quirk to u all.... So, head's up.... Have a good match and let's make 200 runs tomorrow.... This 150 seems to not work any more....
"We have nothing to lose now, except our character.... Let's not lose that.... Lov... SRK."

Bollywood Gossip - Nadiadwala takes Akshay Kumar to Hollywood
Posted: 14 Mar 2008 02:20 PM CDT
Bollywood Gossip - After doing back-to-back comedies last year, it looks like Bollywood's star Akshay Kumar is hell bent on making 2008 his year of actioners.Nadiadwala takes Akshay Kumar to Hollywood
In producer Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Kambakth Ishq', he plays a Hollywood stuntman and it will be shot in Universal Studios."This would be the first Indian film to be shot within Universal Studios. We've got the permission not only to shoot within the studio but also to use their logo. Akshay plays a stuntman from Universal Studios. We also had amazing superstars from Hollywood. We're working out the legal aspects," Nadiadwala said.
Apart from that, Akshay would be seen in Nikhil Advani's full on action flick 'Chandni Chowk to China'.
'Kambakth Ishq' is to be shot in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and the producer has roped in a new director Sabir Khan to helm the film.
"It'll also star 12-15 leading actors from Hollywood in various parts. It's a candyfloss, 'safe' film. We had to bring in an extra gloss in the backdrop. That's why Hollywood.
"When I produced 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi', it was the first beach film in Bollywood. After that we had dozens of beach films in Hindi. Likewise my 'Jaan-e-Mann' was the first romantic comedy with visual effects. While making full-on commercial films we need to change the backdrop."
Nadiadwala agrees shooting 'Kambakth Ishq' in Hollywood won't be an easy task.
"It will be expensive, yes. We'll have 40-50 crewmembers flying to LA. We're thinking of chartering a flight from Mumbai. It'll be more economical. Or maybe we should just buy a jet," he joked.
This is Nadiadwala's most ambitious film to date with a budget of Rs.600 million. Kareena Kapoor plays a brand model.
Why a new director for such a lavish film?
"Sabir Khan has grown up in front of me. He assisted in my production 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'. He is very hardworking and if you're suggesting that I should've first let Sabir make a smaller film then let me say I don't make small films. I've dreamt 70mm dreams from before that format was invented."
Recently, the producer has been signing a lot of new directors.

Bollywood Gossip - I may flaunt but I'm just a Desi girl
|
Posted: 10 Mar 2008 02:16 PM CDT Bollywood Actress Celina Jaitley is all set to stage her grand come back with Ganesh Acharaya directed film, 'Money Hai To Honey Hai', after having disappeared from the scene for some time with her International project 'Love Has No Language'.  "I play a fashion designer, Shruti Pandey who has graduated from NIFT and yet struggles while trying to sell a pattern of her own to export houses", Celina quips at the outset. The film "Money Hai To Honey Hai", Celina Jaitley states, sets out to drive home the subtle message that today's education system really sucks and how. "It is a comical representation of today's education system and stars besides me, stars like Govinda, Aftab Shivdasani, Upen Patel, Manoj Bajpai, Ravi Kishen and Hansika Motwani. Each of us has a different background as a struggler in the film". Yet another film with which Celina is quite excited is Subhash Ghai's 'Hello Darling' in which she plays a young catholic girl called Candy Fernandes. "Candy is a little dumb when people try to talk in double language to her. The film dwells at length about how it is wrong on the part of people in society today to judge a woman on the basis of what she is wearing. It is a chic film and I enjoyed working with Isha Koppikar and Gul Panag", says Celina. The actress then hastens to clarify, "Just because there are three women in Hello Darling like there were in Charlie's Angels, it does not mean that you should jump to the conclusion that Hello Darling is a rehash of Charlie's Angels". Celina states that she can identify herself with the role in Hello Darling completely. "People feel that I am anglicized and cannot talk in Hindi when the fact is that I am from a Hindi medium school background and very good in Sanskrit and Hindi. I may flaunt blood costumes on the screen, but am conservative at heart and a very simple and down to earth girl who is rooted to the family". Celina is happy that she gets to play a comic role in Golmaal Returns. "I am a young well educated girl who is doing her graduation in Microbiology. Just as Kareena Kapoor's character is named Ekta Kapoor, my character is named Mira Nair, though it has got nothing to do with filmmaker Mira Nair. I have been teamed opposite Shreyas Talpade in the film. The best thing about Shreyas and me is that we have very good timing to carry off the comedy scenes. I have been a great fan of Sridevi as far as comedy roles are concerned", states Celina. |

Lara Dutta sheds her inhibitions
Posted: 10 Mar 2008 02:28 PM CDT
While she prepares to do her first ever avant-garde film Devdas with Sudhir Mishra where she intends to change her entire image and get-up to play a modern-day Paro, in a new sporty film entitled Blue Lara has
gone several steps further.She has actually managed to overcome her fear of the underwater to do some serious scuba-diving with the ever-sporty Akshay.
For years now Lara has been petried of taking the plunge. Akshay urged her to not only accept a film that needed her to go against her ingrained fears, but also helped her out of the dive-despair.
Laughing throatily Lara admits she has gotten over a lifelong fear. "But I can't speak about what it is. Yes, Akshay's natural sporty spirit is highly contagious. And it did help me to take the plunge."
She reminisces fondly about Akshay. "He was my first co-star in Andaaz and very very helpful. Then we did Bhagam Bhaag when he was fully into comedy.
I didn't know I had a comic streak in me until then. Now that he's returning to action, I'm also moving on from comedy to action big time."
Man's world is show -world. Even a free-spirited actress like Lara Dutta has to follow in the leading man's footsteps.

Bollywood News - B'wood wary of strong leading ladies
Posted: 09 Mar 2008 11:32 AM CDT
In Balu Mahendra's Sadma and Shashilal Nair's Grahan, Sridevi and Manisha Koirala played women who surrendered to men, almost regressing to being children. In this era of women-in-charge it's difficult to find real life women immersing themselves in such surrender but not in films from Bollywood, which still shy away from strong women protagonists.
In Madhur Bhandarkar's Corporate, for instance, Bipasha Basu got into an executive suit and played the male game in the corporate world. Finally, though she ended up taking the rap for her man and goes to jail to save his cowardly skin.
An instant and immediate hark-back to Nutan in Bandini 45 years earlier when the actress goes to jail for love. Of course, Nutan wore a crumpled sari, not a chic suit and Bandini was no chic flick. But under the apparel has the leading lady really changed?
The woman of substance seems to have drowned in acres of skin show. What would Nutan think of her niece Tanisha romping around with nothing much on besides the I-pod in Neal n Nikki? Who was the last truly dignified woman we saw on screen and what was she thinking?
Nostalgia isn't the only reason why we find women from the past so appealing. Nargis in Mother India and Meena Kumari in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam were removed from one another by almost a generation. And yet they were equally enchanting portrayals of the Indian woman in all her splendour.
In the 1980s Shabana Azmi did a series of films about contemporary women. Among them was Mahesh Bhatt's Arth. The modern but maudlin saga of a deserted wife had major impact - but not on men. It was women who repeatedly saw Arth and made it a hit.
Shabana's other, more bravura, effort at portraying a deserted wife in Pravin Bhatt's Bhavna went unnoticed. She becomes a call girl to bring up her son - the archetypal fallen woman rising to become Mother India. Cut to Pradeep Sarkar's Laga Chunari Main Daag where Rani Mukherjee becomes a prostitute to support her family. The audience rejected both the films.
Gradually in the 1990s female-oriented cinema lost its sheen. Outstanding films about the Indian woman's sexuality like Aruna Raje's Rihaee, Ketan Mehta's Mirch Masala, Shyam Benegal's Zubeida and Madhur Bhandarkar's Satta bombed.
Only Yash Chopra's Chandni and Bhandarkar's Chandni Bar clicked.
When was the last time you saw a female oriented film doing well?

Bollywood News - Govinda is eager to work with David Dhawan
Posted: 06 Mar 2008 05:34 AM CST
Bollywood actor Govinda is very excited about getting together with David Dhawan and producer Vashu Bhagnani again and says he will create something thoroughly entertaining.
'We've created quite a sensation in the past with 'Hero No. 1' and 'Coolie No. 1'. We'll definitely create full entertainment again. Yes, it'll be a comedy. I'll try my level best that we come back with a film that will do justice to all three of us,' says Govinda.
Bollywood Star Govinda says he owes his comeback to David Dhawan.
'It's something I learnt from Mr (Amitabh) Bachchan. When he needed to make a comeback, he called Yash Chopra for 'Mohabbatein'. Similarly, when I needed to come back I rang up David and he gave me 'Partner'.'
Govinda has no qualms in admitting he was influenced by the Big B.
'Yeah, I copied Mr. Bachchan. I'm not anything like Mr Bachchan, but why shouldn't I copy a man as great as him? If he can reach out to a filmmaker, why can't I? David is such a big man. Today, if he asks me to do another film with him, I don't even need to think about it - I will do it blindly.'
Bollywood actor Govinda has never been more charged about his career.
'I don't really care what people say about me. All I know is I'm doing my work with sincerity. And I've become very punctual. I reach my sets on time. I'm not here to create any problems for anyone. If I'm doing my work quietly, why are some people troubled by it? But I'm not going to get rattled.'
Govinda, who joined politics and earned a lot of flak from colleagues in the party, has no regrets.
'I don't regret anything, not even my entry into politics. I respect politicians because they are doing their jobs very efficiently. But the fame and fortune I've got has come through Mata Saraswati, my art (movies). No one has the right to eye my career and try to ruin it.'
Kumar Mangat, producer of Govinda's 'Money Hai To Honey Hai', added: 'A miracle happened during the shooting. We finished Govindaji's work in 60 days when we had reserved 85 days for him. In Mauritius, where we shot most of the film, Govinda was the first of the cast to wake up.
'In fact, he'd wake me up and we'd have our morning tea together. I remember we had to shoot at a discotheque in Mauritius. We had to reach at 8 a.m. and all we saw were the janitors at work. That's how punctual Govinda has become.'
In fact, Mangat is planning another film with Govinda this year.
'He's a pleasure to work with,' the producer said
