Shefali speaks on award

Shefali Shah feels she deserved, and got the National Award for her performance in Rituparno Ghosh's The Last Lear rather than the Anil Kapoor-produced Gandhi My Father. She was nominated for both the performances. Shefali mentions that it was such an honour to be nominated for two performances but Last Lear was much more difficult. Playing a real-life character, Kasturba and that too with an emotional and chronological graph that took her from young to old, gave her a lot of space to create her character.

Salman speaks on his anger


Salman Khan has no fight with the press, but he does have an issue with biased and incorrect reporting. Controversies, bad pictures, poor headlines are something he has noticed these days too much in the media and it irritates him. People may not believe what's written, but they read anyway. What bothers Salman is the sadistic pleasure some journalists get by putting somebody down. The journos don't realize that their own personality reflects in their writing, the star is believed to have stated.

'Blue' gets color-coordinated!!!

Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd's 'BLUE' directed by Anthony D'souza, since announced has created a stir itself. Right from the star cast to the execution, the film's in news for setting trends!

Recently, we fell upon one such interesting concept used by the director. As all the characters have distinctive personalities and are different from each other, they are all associated with particular colours which underline their characteristics. Right from outfit designs to the moulding of characters, all the male lead actors of the film can be seen displaying predominant traits throughout the film.

Like, Akshay Kumar is seen sporting a fiery RED and related shades that bring out the menacing, dangerous qualities of the character he plays. At the same time he is seen in blazers, which signifies a sophisticated, polished look of the suave businessman that he is in the film.

"Sanju baba on the other hand is seen in casuals for major parts of the films, playing a calm, composed character, hence wearing tones of BLUE. Zayed Khan plays a young, carefree role, with all the zest and energy of the youth which is portrayed by the YELLOW and bright colours that he wears.

Looks like the debutant director has meticulously visualized his characters and seems to be sure of what he wants!

We like the concept!

What do Ajay Devgn & Ranbir kapoor have in common?

Ajay Devgn & Ranbir Kapoor are as different as chalk and cheese so what in Gods name could they possibly have in common?

Apparently they both have the same on-screen name in their respective forthcoming films!! And the icing on the cake is that the common name is the very name of the Bollywood baddie of yesteryear's - Prem Chopra!

While Ajay Devgn will be wooing Bipasha Basu in the comic caper 'All The Best', Ranbir will be romancing Katrina in 'Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani' where its not his screen name but he uses it in a gag.

Well looks like both the actors will definitely be living it up in true villainous style!

My niece was literally born into my arms, Bebo


No, it’s not only Saif Ali Khan that is driving our Bebo crazy but also her dearest niece Samaira. Kareena Kapoor bonds very well with her niece and feels great to see her growing before her eyes. Whenever she gets time, she runs to Samaira to spend time with her.

"She was literally born into my arms! Being with her makes me forget who I am and the daily grind my profession makes me go through. Watching her grow up is such a great experience. We talk to each other a lot and she always likes to tell me what happened at her dance classes," says Kareena.

According to Bebo, Samaira has already developed a great ear for music. "The moment she hears a good number, she dances to it. This is a sure indicator to me about how the track would fare in the long run. She likes to draw too, you know," says the vibrant mausi.

Bebo says that if she depends on her niece to select a music number, then it's her sister Karishma she turns to when it comes to decide film projects. "It's true that it was Lolo (Karisma) who told me to take up the movie opposite Salman. I have been watching Salman since I was nine years old and an earlier movie with him didn't do as expected. But she insisted that I take up Main Aur Mrs Khanna because it had a great script and also because she felt I would look very good with Salman. I trusted her blindly on that."

It seems, the two also share an appetite for a super-healthy lifestyle. Says Nikita, “Zeenatji told me that she identifies a lot with my diet and my lifestyle. I’m a confessed health freak, and I don’t miss a single day of gym and my workouts. I feel uneasy if I ever have to skip it. It’s a part of my day-to-day activity and I totally worship my body. Now, to learn that Zeenatji was also like this in her heydays as the industry’s leading diva, makes me feel like I’m on the right path with my regimen.”
