Sonakshi Sinha who openly expressed her desire to be paired opposite Ranveer on a chat show, apparently started bonding big time with the actor at an awards function abroad and that is where it all started but now it looks like another case of friendship gone sour.That equations in Bollywood change every Friday is an accepted norm, and recently adding to the list of new found friendships are two names. The two actors to have become pally of late are Shahid Kapur and Sonakshi Sinha. While Shahid’s name has been tossed around linking him up with Bipasha Basu, Sonakshi (more…)

Kicking off the ‘Celebration of Indian Cinema’ segment will be the Yash Raj film, “Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl”, which will have its world premiere in Dubai.
First it was Tom Cruise who created a frenzy when news got out that the Hollywood heartthrob will visit our shores for the world premiere of his film, “Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol.”
And even though that news has yet to be confirmed though official channels, what can be revealed is Bollywood’s turn in the spotlight at the Dubai International Film Festival. (more…)

“Extremely distasteful story today… some journalists need to really understand where to draw the line between imagination and Reality,” Shahid wrote on microblogging.Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor is fuming over reports claiming that he was spotted kissing actress Anushka Sharma.
“Sad. Unfair. Makes me angry. If nothing else they need to respect the dignity of a girl !!!!! I usually don’t react to any of these stories but this one was just a bit much,” he wrote.
It was reported that both the actors, who acted together in Yash Raj’s Badmaash Company, were seen kissing at Imran Khan’s success party of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

In Bollywood that every second biggie which gets launched has either Kareena Kapoor or Katrina Kaif as their first choice?’. In fact I remember penning a piece around the same lines exactly a year ago – Super six in charge of Bollywood today where the choices, though topped by Kareena and Katrina, were still much wider. There were Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai in close contention for that No. 3 slot while Deepika Padukone and Kangna Ranaut were fighting it out to make their presence felt in Top-5 as well. While the top order remains intact, seems like there is some reshuffle round the corner when it comes to the other slots. This is what leads me to this week’s ‘Reflections’.The other day when I was penning my thoughts on the amazing journey of Katrina Kaif over the years, a thought crossed my mind – ‘What is indeed the state of affairs (more…)

Bollywood actors and filmmakers are showing full support for social activist Anna Hazare’s movement against corruption.

Oscar winning Indian composer A.R.Rahman, said: “It’s the voice of India, he (Hazare) is the voice of India. We all want change for the good things, for the upliftment of the poor. It (change) is going to happen, nothing can stop it.” (more…)

FAST FACT
Veteran social activist Anna Hazare is on a fast-unto-death against corruption at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. The 72-year-old activist is on a hunger strike demanding the government to draft a new Lokpal Bill, which will give more powers to the ombudsman to check corruption.

We might be notorious for being on the list of “most corrupt” countries in the world, but a resurgent India is changing its ways. Realising this, B-Town actors and directors have pledged support to a cause being fought for by social activist Anna Hazare. Some even go as far as saying they would support him by fasting for a day. We check in and record their words for posterity…

Ranbir Kapoor
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? I believe that it is a positive step towards eradicating corruption.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? I support the cause Anna Hazare is fighting. I will be wearing a black band on my wrist tomorrow to prove my solidarity and support.
WOULD YOU FAST FOR A DAY? I am working non-stop right now, so I do not think it will be possible to fast for an entire day. However on my next day off, I will do so 100 per cent.

Sonam Kapoor
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? Anna Hazare is fasting to make the anti-corruption or Lokpal bill more stringent.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? I do support his act of fasting as it’s the best way of quietly making a point and putting it across. What he is doing is fantastic.
WOULD YOU FAST? If it was required and if I had to and to make a point: yes, I would fast. But I can’t right now, as I have just been discharged from the hospital and am still very weak.

Ram Gopal Varma
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? I don’t know who Anna Hazare is as generally I don’t keep track of anyone, save for film people and gangsters. I don’t know why Anna Hazare is fasting or for that matter what anyone else in the world is doing because I am busy in my work.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? No.
WOULD YOU FAST? I won’t fast for anybody except to control my diet.

Karan Johar
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? The Anna Hazare movement to get the Lokpal Bill passed is the most important wake-up call that the nation has to answer.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? I am in complete support. I’m proud of my nation that is screaming for justice in unison.
WOULD YOU FAST? No reply.

Farah Khan
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? Anna Hazare is fasting to get the Lokpal Bill passed which will check corruption in the government.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? Yes. I guess fasting is the most non-violent way to get attention to this issue.
WOULD YOU FAST? Yes, if my fasting will help, it’s a small price for an un-corrupt India.

Anil Kapoor
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? He’s been fasting to get the Lokpal Bill passed. It’s been happening for so many years.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? There is no other way out, but to fast. When one keeps hitting against a wall what else can you do? Anna has always been a Gandhian.
WOULD YOU FAST? Yes. If need be, I will fast to get the Bill passed.

Shilpa Shetty
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? To have the Lokpal Bill passed with strict alterations against corrupt politicians.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? Yes, I do. Completely. If standing up for him will be an improvement I encourage every Indian citizen though I am apolitical.
WOULD YOU FAST? I can’t even fast for Karva Chauth. So, no. I can’t.

Abhay Deol
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? To get the Lokpal Bill passed.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? Of course I support Anna!
WOULD YOU FAST? One day to show my support is nothing! I will fast for two days…

Minissha Lamba
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? What Anna Hazare is doing is fighting India’s new freedom struggle.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? Yes.
WOULD YOU FAST? Fasting for a day is a very small price to pay.

Anurag Kashyap
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? I know he is fasting to get the Lokpal Bill passed, the one that gives more power to the man in charge. And his selection process and his department should be independent of any political intervention like the Election Commission. Also, to fast-track such cases.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? I completely support him.
WOULD YOU FAST? Yes. I would fast for a day, if need be.

Vikram Bhatt
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? For the Lokpal Bill. Something that should have happened 42 years ago didn’t because politicians did not let it be passed. It is a bill that makes politicians and bureaucrats answerable for their corrupt ways.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM: Yes.
WOULD YOU FAST? I would if it made a difference in the larger scheme of things.

Rakhi Sawant
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? It’s a hunger strike. What he’s doing for the country is remarkable.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? Yes, I don’t know where Jantar Mantar is. But I would personally want to go and join Anna Hazare. I am even ready to go press his feet and make him feel better.
WOULD YOU FAST? No reply.

Sunil Shetty
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? To get the Lokpal Bill passed.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? I support him but I feel we need to correct ourselves first. I support a movement that’s against corruption but I am an actor not a politician.
WOULD YOU FAST? Me fasting is not going to help me mending my personal ways.

Riya Sen
WHY IS ANNA HAZARE FASTING? To get the Lokpal Bill passed.
DO YOU SUPPORT HIM? Though I believe that hunger strikes may create awareness among the masses, they may not tackle the root of the issue. But I am with him in his pledge for a corruption-free India.
WOULD YOU FAST? No reply.

‘Kaminey’chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor has been in news recently for his alleged break up with girlfriend Priyanka Chopra. When Piggy Chops was found missing in Sasha’s latest birthday party, grapevine was ripe with the news of the duo’s split up. But things seem to be changing colors really fast in B town. As soon as Priyanka landed back in Mumbai on Friday after a shooting schedule for Don 2 in Malaysia, Shahid has been sending her constant SMSes that read phrases like ‘Miss You’, ‘Sorry’ and ‘Let’s work this out’. So……is Shahid wanting Piggy Chops back? (more…)

Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh both have taken a strong stand on their personal relationships:Shahid Kapoor ,Shahid Kapoor ,  Shahid Kapoor ,  personal , publicity,  Piggy Chops ,  birthday ,  dismissed ,  exaggerated,  projection ,  relationship , Band Baaja Baraat,  Anushka Sharma,  sensible ,  discussing ,  birthday bash ,  confused
Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh are two Bollywood stars who have taken a strong stand on their personal relationships. It seems they have realised that there is no point in discussing their personal relationship for publicity. Shahid recently celebrated his birthday and Priyanka Chopra was missing from the party. But, he did not pay heed to anyone talking about this.
Recently at an event, when this question of Piggy Chops not attending his birthday bash cropped up, he dismissed the rumour and said the media has exaggerated the matter.
“There is a lot of projection of our relationship in the media and I am confused after reading all the things related to it. The media exaggerates it,” he said.
Similarly, the Band Baaja Baraat-actor Ranveer Singh realised that it’s not a good idea to be talking about his relationship in public. So when recently he was asked about his relationship with Anushka Sharma, the actor angrily replied: “Please do not ask me this question. Let’s speak about something sensible or I am leaving.”
