Who will replace Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan?
Now that Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan are under the police eye, Bollywood is finding itself in a great jeopardy. Who can replace the two of the most countable actors? The question has shaken quiet a few. “They are cult figures and they have a certain equation with the audience which makes them indispensible,” says David Dhawan.
Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik roshan, the other countable stars have their hands full. So the only ones remaining are Amir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, John Abraham and Saif Ali Khan. Will they be able to deliver more number of quality acts than they usually do? So the hope remains on the recent comers Riteish Deshmukh, Sharman Joshi and the debutant Ranbir Kapoor and the likes. Let us see who grabs the show now that there are two great holes in the closely knit competition.

Shahrukh, Deepika Padukone, Farah Khan on Koffee With Karan
Are you thinking that Karan has exhausted the list of guest and the rare combinations in Koffee with Karan?
Well in that case I have good news for you. Karan has got some real combinations left for the show this season. The first dhamakedaar combination is Shah Rukh Khan- Deepika Padukone- Farah Khan on Sunday, August 26th at 9 p.m. on Star One and Star World. And needless to say the episode is a fun roller coaster ride.
Excerpts from the fun episode:
Karan: Welcome back to Koffee with Karan, How does it feel? It is your third appearance?
Farah: Fourth, if you are not counting when I was a judge in the last season.
Karan: Oh right, you judged the finale episode.
Farah: Ya. I have been here almost as much as you.
Karan: A big event that has transformed your life is your wedding. That happened two years ago?
Farah: Ya, two years.
Karan: I thought it would change you. Tell me, has it changed you?
Farah: ahhhhhh… has it?
Karan: I am asking you. Has it made you softer, calmer?
Farah: I don’t think it has made me calmer for sure. But yes, it has given me a perspective in life. And I do enjoy staying at home a lot more now.
Karan: Yes, you have someone to come home to.
Farah: Ya. I like being around the house, doing homely things… not just being on set so much. But I still enjoyed making my second movie a little more than I enjoyed making my first one… when I wasn’t married then.
Karan: So cool you look — new hair do, muscles, six pack I heard…
SRK: Four
Farah: Four have come, two to go!
SRK: I am still working on the last two.
Karan: What made you make this change?
SRK: My son feels I am fat.
Karan: He thinks you are fat?
SRK: He thinks I am fat. He beat up a girl because, first she called me an a******, then she said I look very ugly on KBC… sorry Star. He didn’t react, he controlled himself. Finally, when she said, your father is fat, he kicked her. So I got angry with him, and he said, ‘Papa, you know what? It is not her fault, it’s you. Why are you fat? Because she said, ugly, I didn’t mind. You looked handsome on KBC. You are not an a****** I know. You are a cool guy. But you are fat Papa.’
Karan: He thinks you are fat.
SRK: Just imagine. What he thinks about you and Farah, lets not get into that.
Farah: Thanks!
Karan: Are you nervous at all?
Deepika: I am very nervous.
Karan: Was it the same kind of nervousness when you were offered this film? You had to work with Shah Rukh, with Farah… were you completely like all nerves the first day?
Deepika: It was the same kind of nervousness; especially on the first day. Although Farah went all out to make me feel comfortable, she introduced me to Shah Rukh well in advance…
Karan: And everyone tells that he is a terrific co-star…
Deepika: He is fantastic to work with.
Karan: It feels special that you are a part of such a monstrous project? .
Deepika: Yes and we have almost come to the end of it.
SRK: I thought Karan was saying you are part of such a monster (pointing to Farah).
Deepika: No, she was wonderful.
So don’t miss it!
Larger than life Shah Rukh and his biography
When it comes to Shah Rukh, no other term than Larger-than-life is suitable for him. The King Khan is elated at his film Chak De’s immense success but he is even more humbled at the release of his biography ‘King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan and the Seductive World of Indian Cinema’ by Anupama Chopra.
The book has sold more than 10,000 copies in mere 10 days! Wooph… no one apart from SRK can put such a spell on public. So who all are planning to buy the book guys???
Sanjay Dutt gets temporary bail
After an array of disappointments regarding the Tada court’s verdict for Sanjay Dutt, there is some good news for the Dutt family and also to Bollywood fraternity. Sanju baba has been granted a seven day interim bail by the court. Family and friends of Sanju baba are celebrating the court’s decision.
Can you guess what the lovable actor is going to do in the bail period that he gets? Well, if you think he is going to spend a quiet time at home, then you are wrong. The actor will oblige his friend Rajkumar Hirani by doing a cameo in Hirani’s next film starring Shah Rukh Khan. A source was quoted saying, “Sanju has a crucial cameo in the film. Hirani considers Sanju his lucky mascot and he couldn’t have made a film without him. Also, Shah Rukh and Sanju make a good pair.” Rumors are that Sanju baba will be spending all of his bail time to finish the movies that are halted because of his imprisonment. And these include Sanjay Gupta’s Alibaug and Sanjay Gadhvi’s Kidnap. In the meanwhile Sanjay Gupta says, “We will surely resume shooting but it all depends on Sanju’s frame of mind. He will call the shots in this case. The moment he is ready to shoot, we will do so.”
Surely Sanjay Dutt is a committed actor and he has also got a great friends circle in the industry.
Shah Rukh Khan in Heyy Baby
It is highly unlikely that Shah Rukh disappoints his favorites. So when Sajid Khan asked Shah Rukh for a qawalli number in his first directorial venture ‘Heyy Baby’, SRK readily agreed.
So the movie has not just got Akshay, Ritiesh and Fardeen dancing with Bollywood’s sizzling beauties like Malaika and Dia Mirza, but also has Vidya Balan, a cute baby girl and now SRK to take the movie to its highest comic peak. Let us see on 24th August how SRK makes us be a ‘Mast Kalandar’ with the qawalli in the movie!
Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan in Los Angeles

Welcome Aishwarya in Madam Tussauds New York
Aishwarya’s wax statue in Madame Tussauds, New York opened with a grand fan fare and Bollywood music on the 15th of August. The statue was brought from Madam Tussauds, London to New York for the special occasion of celebrating India’s 60th Independence Day in New York.
Apart from Gandhiji’s wax statue Ash’s wax statue is the only other Indian figure in the museum right now. Ash’s statue will be kept for display in New York for six weeks, after which she will be transported back to London. The statue is wearing the red churidar from the movie ‘Bride and Prejudice’.
Is Shilpa Shetty the next Bond Girl?
Bond movies are sure a rave in India and there have been rounds of talks in our tinsel town that Ash might be one of Bond’s favorite ladies in the coming movies. But those talks have always gone into oblivion. However, a new candidate, a highly likely one I suppose, has been chosen for talks by the producers of the bond film. And the new candidate is none other than our very dear Shilpa Shetty!
The producers and Shilpa’s team are having secret talks on the 23rd Bond movie with Daniel Craig as Bond. Sources have been quoted saying, “Shilpa is having secret talks with the top brass who are working on the next movie. As far as they are concerned, she has it all — she is beautiful, feisty and a great actress. But they also want someone who is a big star…which Shilpa is…She has a huge following in Bollywood as well as a number of fans in the Western world – especially in Britain – so she will be great for box office sales.” While the 22nd bond movie is being shot with Craig, script writers are already working on the 23rd in the bond series. So let us wait and watch if Shilpa makes it in the series.
But in the meanwhile guess who will be perfect for Daniel Craig or rather perfect as a bond girl – Ash or Shilpa? What say guys?
Aishwarya and Abhishek deny rumors of Baby Bachchan
Ash and Abhishek seem extremely offended at the latest media scoop that Aishwarya is pregnant. Abhishek was quoted saying, “it is not true at all”.
Ash’s manager said that Ash will be extremely busy for the next two years not just with Bollywood films but also with Hollywood films like Pink Panther 2 which she recently bagged. So it is highly unlikely that the lady is ready to plan a baby right now. But what if hubby Abhishek has different plans as he was last quoted saying, “Kids shouldn’t be planned, they should just happen”. Well, we are always ready to welcome the junior most Bachchan any time!!!
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Baby Bachchan
Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan are in news again. Once again media speculation has become ambitious enough to predict that the golden couple is expecting a baby!!!

Well, the news can be true as Ash dear has cancelled her trip to New York where her wax statue from Madam Tussauds will be for public to view on the occasion of Indian Independence Day at the Museum.Last time when the media speculated their so affair, the couple retracted initially but then eventually got married. So let us hope that even this time the media’s stories are true. Stay tuned on more updates on Abhishek-Aishwarya baby!!!
