Konkana Sen Sharma in deep sh*t!
All those who’ve been treated to Indian cinema at its best in the form of “Omkara” are ready to swear by the fact that Konkana Sen Sharma was the underdog who undoubtedly stole some of the most intense right under the noses of the bigwigs! The extra ordinary beauty with ordinary Indian looks sure did put in a lot of effort for that though…
There was this one scene when she was just in the backdrop and had to do some business. And of all the possibilities, she had to knead COW DUNG! And after about 3-4 re-takes, she found maggots in the dung she had been playing with all the while!!! Poor lady had to bathe with an anti septic after the shot was canned 
PS: Wonder if any of the anti septic soaps picks up this idea for its next advertisement!!!
Urmila Matondkar on the judge’s seat soon.
Remember one of the first talent hunt shows on a huge scale in India??? The show that had made the Hyderabadi Sarwar Ahuja a house hold name was “Zee Cine Stars Ki Khoj.” Though nothing has taken off for the winners of that reality show yet, there’s already an acting talent hunt coming up on Sahara TV! The name and concept being lifted from UK and USA super hit – “Superstars”, this one is all set to get the much desired TRP ratings to the channel in the first week of September.
The producers are leaving no stone unturned to make it a success… They’ve also managed to rope in Bollywood sex symbol Urmila Matondkar and ace choreographer Shaimak Davar as regular judges! Urmi is the latest entry into the band wagon of film stars adorning the telly tube, which has not proved a successful option for many a star! Let’s see how the Marathi mirchi fares at it now….
Vidya Balan Ready for a Makeover ….
Vidya Balan is one of hottest newcomers in Bollywood with the super success of ‘Parineeta’. Balan who has played the role of a simple, sensous and graceful girl in her first movie, is ready for bold and daring roles and has not drawn any limits for herself.
Vidya Balan was recently in Jaipur to unveil a studio of a private FM channel here yesterday, where she said, “I am ready to experiment with all kinds of roles. And if the role demands, I have no inhibitions to shed a few clothes although I am clothed in all of my upcoming films. About the limit of the daring role, I really haven’t given a thought to it ” .
Vidya, however, said she is not making any conscious effort to change her image after her famous portrayal in the classic ‘Parineeta’. She said, “I want to play different characters which gives me scope to perform and to realise my potential. I play a radio jockey in ‘Munna Bhai Lage Raho’ which is vastly different from the character Lolita in ‘Parineeta’ “.
Her forthcoming films include ‘Munna Bhai Lage Raho’, ‘Eklavya’ and Mani Ratnam’s ‘Guru’. Vidya, whose acting has impressed Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, is humbled by all the compliments coming her way. ” I am extremely humbled by the reactions of Mr Bachchan and Karan Johar, I hope it only translates into more films “, she quipped.
Kangana is sure going places ….
With the success of Gangster,Kangana Ranaut has become the hottest newcomer in town.
Fashion is an integral part of Bollywood and the pressure to look glamorous onscreen can be a bit too much at times. But newcomer Kangana Ranaut seems to be comfortable with the idea and says she loves to be trendy and fashionable, reports Bollywood Trade.
“I love to be in vogue. I have more of a western taste. I am not too much into Indian dresses. I only wear them occasionally for marriages and parties. I think western outfits really gel with my personality,” says Kangana.
“Our profession is such that we don’t get enough time to work out. But whenever I get time I dance, do yoga, etc. I detest lazing around. I believe healthy food is very important so I make sure I have my meals on time. I guess one should eat right, eat healthy to be fit and energetic,” said Kangana.
With her kind of looks, Kangana is definitely going places. According to reports, she has replaced Aditya Pancholi’s daughter Sana Pancholi in Suneel Darshan’s “Shakalaka Boom” starring Bobby Deol and Upen Patel.
Soha prefers Bengali films to Bollywood
Bollywood star Soha Ali Khan says she prefers Bengali films to Bollywood as Bengali films have more powerful roles for girls .
She told media persons on the sets of her latest film “Ahista Ahista” starring Abhay Deol, “I like Bengali films much more because they have strong roles for girls and they make films out of love, not for commercial reasons” .
She, however, brushed aside rumours of her starting a production house with her brother – actor Saif Ali Khan.
Soha, was a part of this year’s biggest hit “Rang De Basanti”. Post “Rand De Basanti”, she has become very choosy about her projects and people have started appreciating her acting talent. Her forthcoming films include Aparna Sen’s film ‘Jewellery Box’ and Sudhir Mishra’s film, ‘Bahut Nikle Mere Armaan’ with Shiney Ahuja. And there are two films which are almost complete – ‘Postcards’ by Rajshree Ojha and ‘Meridian’ a commercial film by Vinod Mitra.
Soha says she is currently learning Kathak and working on her dialogues. Ask her about her alleged link-ups with her co-stars, and she says, “As far as rumours are concerned, there is a lot of irresponsibility in the media. The thing is, you can use tabloids to your advantage”.
