Akshay Kumar To write Book Named ‘Who framed Akshay Kumar’

Finally Akshay Kumar has joined the bandwagon of elite stars who blog to connect with their fans. Here’s what Akki has to say to his fans in his latest entry:

Hey Everyone… It’s me the new Robin Hood of India, I rob from the rich (producers) and give to the poor (my staff), Hehe!! I’m kidding, seriously, it’s comments like these that get me in trouble ;o)…

So did you guys read about my ever so exciting capture by the police, and my wife’s surrender story over my ‘Unbuttoning incident’… My life sounds like a scene out of C.S.I Miami right now I swear, this year is definitely going down in the book of ‘Who framed Akshay Kumar’…

The STORY goes something like, I land back in Bombay and within seconds I’ve had our famous press calling up and reporting that I’ve been captured by the police after running away coz of my supposedly “obscene Levi’s ramp walk”, and my wife has apparently surrendered herself out of fear for her husbands captivity.

Listen I understand journalists need to sell their papers but guys you can’t make a fool out of your readers, that story was worse than a ‘C’ grade drama serial...

When all that really happened was I came back and drove to the Police station myself, signed some papers, joined my hands, wished them all a pleasant day and went home to my family, it was as boring as that… But instead I’ve been made to feel like the Bad Boy criminal of Bombay for the first time in my life...

Now I just need to get a pair of green tights find a bow and arrow, change my name to Robin Hood and I’ll officially be the loved outlaw…

Haha and do you know what I later found out, the guy that placed this ridiculous complaint against me, has actually filed numerous other pointless case’s against other celebrities also. Well I hope he’s happy and has enjoyed his fair share of desperate attention, was it really worth it man…

Now with all that nonsense behind, I want to talk to you about something very serious.

Some of you may already know but one of Bollywood’s  best make-up artists has just been through a spine chilling horrific experience, I don’t want to delve into it too much out of pure respect for her. But her ordeal should be a wake up call for all of us.

Bless her, she was tortured so badly, I was choked up so much when I heard what had happened to her, the whole industry should be thankful she is still here with us now. This brave lady has literally faced death in front of her very eyes, and she is such a wonderful woman, so nice, she’d never hurt anyone.

See, life’s not safe, it’s not fair, it’s scary and unpredictable. People of India please start being more careful, if I read one more rape or murder case in out city I think I’ll cry..

Why can’t Mumbai adopt something from Singapore! The crime rate is so incredibly low there, and it’s only because of the “Death Sentence”. It’s given for a lot of severe crimes, no joke, people are even too scared to spit on the street there for fear of being arrested…

Now I can’t change the law, but I can advise all of you, especially the women of India to please learn self defence, murderers don’t train to become killers, they just get up and commit sinful acts, but you yourselves can train to kill if necessary if you are ever faced with such vicious humans…

Dear God I’m not saying carry a gun, I just think you should all know how to defend yourselves and run before it’s too late and your loved ones are having to explain to your children or your partner that you suffered coz you didn’t know how to fight back…

I didn’t learn martial arts to be some famous dude, I trained because the discipline was something I didn’t want to live life without… Tonight please think about how you’re going to protect yourselves and your family, take care, and live life like you care about it…

Love and Prayers to all of you

Akshay…

Action king Akshay Kumar is losing his Midas touch

Though reports that Action king Akshay Kumar is losing his Midas touch with back to back releases delivering a big turkey at the box office, were the talk of the town from quite sometime now, he has survived them in stark silence. It was said that when JUMBO, 8X10 TASVEER and CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA suffered a bad fate at the box office it implied that audiences don’t seem to be very excited anymore with an AKSHAY KUMAR film, yet he remained calm.

Just recently after his ’exciting’ surrender to the police over his obscene ’Unbuttoning incident’, he has chosen to strike back with vengeance & justify his stand on his blog. The macho man retorts saying ’’What was reported sounds like a scene out of C.S.I Miami but what really happened was that I came back to Mumbai and drove to the Police station myself, signed some papers, joined my hands, wished them all a pleasant day and went home to my family, unlike the Bad Boy criminal act that I am made to be doing ’’

At the same time he wishes to drift our attention from this trivial matter blown out of proportion to a ghastly mishap, which occurred with B-town renowned make-up artist Mallika Bhatt, who was robbed off her belongings & tortured badly so much so that the brave lady has literally faced death in front of her very eyes. He gushes ’’Her ordeal should be a wake up call for all of us. Why can’t Mumbai adopt something from Singapore! The crime rate is so incredibly low there, and it’s only because of the ’’Death Sentence’’. Now I can’t change the law, but I can advise all of you, especially the women of India to please learn self defense, I didn’t learn martial arts to be some famous dude, I trained because the discipline was something I didn’t want to live life without.’’ he signs off awakening few women souls to stand up for themselves at all times.

Father of Rubina Ali in anger accusing the filmmaker Danny Boyle

’Slumdog Millionaire’ director Danny Boyle, who rushed to India Wednesday to help the film’s child stars, was stunned when a child’s father accused him of ignoring them.

Some of the children have become homeless after civic authorities razed their shanties. Boyle had come down to offer them help.

However, Rafiq Qureshi, Father of Rubina Ali, 9, left their meeting in anger accusing the filmmaker of neglecting them after the film’s global success.

’A house is being provided for the kids...we have been listening this for the last five months...I don’t see any house coming our way. The shanty that we were living in has already been razed...where are we getting a house from?

’If they are providing us a house, when are they going to do it? Our kids are literally living on the road now,’ an exasperated Qureshi told a news channel later.

’Slumdog’ producer Christian Colson also participated in the meeting held at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences on the outskirts of the city.

’We are looking for a legal accommodation that should be held by the trust (Jai Ho) to ensure the safety of these kids and it would be properly monitored as well,’

a calm Boyle told the reporters.

The kids including Azharuddin Ismail M. Shaikh, 10, the main child star of the movie, apart from Rubina, were both thrown on the streets after Mumbai civic authorities demolished their shanties May 14, terming the slum unauthorised.

The producers of the multiple Oscar-award wining underdog drama had earlier announced a setting up Jai Ho Trust to look after the two child stars and ensure that they receive quality education and a house to live in.

Riya Sen is happy to be back in the limelight after a long time

Off late the hot Riya Sen seems to have become a favourite with the former showman, Subhash Ghai. After the middling success of the Mukta Arts’ APNA SAPNA MONEY MONEY, Riya is once again essaying an important role in the banner’s upcoming venture, PAYING GUEST.

Quite naturally, Riya is happy to be back in the limelight after a long time. Her last film was a multi-starrer, HEROES, where she had a very short role. But Riya is very elated about her character in her latest Paritosh Painter directed venture. She plays a modern and glamorous girl called Arpita, whose character is very sensitive but at the same time suspicious and quite conservative. She is always suspicious about her boyfriend and keeps doubting him all the time, a la Bebo in GOLMAAL RETURNS! Riya is confident that even though her role is short, it would not be a blink and a miss appearance, as it is very important to the narrative. Playing contrasting characters was a challenge and the director, Paritosh Painter helped her get it right.

Well, Riya has been the lucky mascot for many a film, and here’s hoping that her lucky charm rubs off on Ghai’s Mukta Arts Ltd.’s PAYING GUEST , as they are in real need of one, after the debacle of YUVVRAAJ.

Preity is looking forward to doing quality work

Priety Zinta dimpled her way into the hearts of million of fans with the Perk commercial directed by Shekhar Kapoor more than a decade back.

Today she considered amongst the most respected actress of Bollywood as she has made a place for herself as one of the best actresses today.

With films like Dil Se, Kya Kehna (her first full fledged performance as a complete actress) Armaan, Dil Chahta Hai, Koi Mil Gaya, Kal Ho Naa Ho and Heroes, the actress has proved that she is not just a pretty face but a talented actress too.

With films like Veer Zaara and now Videsh, Preity showed her detractors that she was not her to just run around trees but also give powerful performances.

A source close to the talented beauty tells us, "Right now Preity may not have signed many films apart from Yash Chopra’s forthcoming venture and Sohail Khan’s Main Aur Mrs Khanna but the actress is playing it pretty safe and accepting only roles which can do justice to the talent that she is blessed with.

Since she has come to a stage where she knows that she has had a long and outstanding innings to play. She has now moved on to IPL and made a mark there is no looking back for the actress.

Preity is looking forward to doing quality work and is here to stay."

Indeed, from the chirpy bubbly youngster we saw in Soldier and Dil Se, she has now matured into a fine actress.

Bollywood filmmakers to share their views For Neetu Chandra photo shoot

Neetu Chandra’s  ’woman-on-woman’ photo shoot has literally created a storm. Leave aside the protests (or the lack of them), the fact remains that the pictures have been one and all (though quite a few also deny having looked at them, but more on that later) and the Garam Masala girl who got ’lucky’ with an unlucky number ’13’ quite recently has now moved up from a ’Traffic Signal’ to Page 1 across National Dailies as well as prime slots on news channels.

Joginder Tuteja catches up with quite a few industry men and tries to gauge their reaction on Neetu’s photo shoot. While doing so, we came across an interesting trend. While majority of top line actors (names withheld) either refrained from commenting at all or evaded the query by stating - ’I am yet to look at the pictures’, quite a few Bollywood filmmakers were game to share their views around the photo shoot. This is what they had to say:

Suparn Verma - "More woman power! She looks fabulous and the pictures are aesthetically done. I think the moral police should take a nap!"

Ken Ghosh - "It’s quite an interesting concept! Great going!"

Rohit Jugraj - "I think it’s very awesome and gutsy on Neetu’s part to go ahead with such bold and sensuous pictures. Times are changing and we should pay heed.

They say cinema is a reflection of the changing society and if the world can have a festival like Moondance (a gay and dance film festival), we can at least celebrate freedom of expression in cinema. I have always had a script about two women, a pack of cigarettes and a road trip in mind, though that script of mine is not about lesbian characters but does have an intimate moment between the girls.

Photo shoots like Neetu’s only prove to me that audience is ready, howsoever niche it may be. But the question is - ’Are we filmmakers ready to handle such themes deftly with maturity and sensitively?"

 Randeep Hooda - "Neetu’s pictures are very hot. It’s in some form or the other every man’s fantasy. It’s about time we started opening up about it (smiles). It’s a brave shoot so cheers to her!"

Jag Mundhra - "I just checked one such picture on the net. I think it is quite beautiful and provocative. Her body language is defiant; celebrating raw female sexuality. It says - ’As an artist I am ready to push the boundaries’. It defies the viewer to do the same. I think it is very symbolic than sexy, just like the PETA ads."

Rahul Dholakia - "I saw the shoot, and while I thought it was an interesting concept and a good marketing tool, I don’t think we should give it any more importance than that. If this picture is generating any kind of controversy, I don’t think it should. It’s bold but not obscene; it’s about two women, maybe lesbians. So what?"

Piyush Jha - "Everyday I get surprised at how much further and further we are pushing the envelope of morality in India. While I am not aesthetically riveted by the pictures, I am impressed by the challenge it throws at the so called ’norms’ of our society."

Madhu Mantena - "I am in London and haven’t seen the pictures yet. However, would like to meet them together!"

Vivek Agnihotri - "We are living in time of media clutter and to get mind share, media must titillate; so a shoot like this is nothing novel.

Also competition is so tough in our industry that lots of people are willing to go to any extent to be noticed. What can be a better way than shock the audiences? The picture meets both these aspirations. Neetu is talented and I am sure she is capable of shocking more with her talent and soon she will realize it."

 Shirish Kunder - "Awesome. In fact I thought it was a little restrained. They should have gone out a little more."

Navdeep Singh - "Girl-girl action is always very welcome. These pictures seemed tasteful enough. There is a need and space for some eroticism in our lives. And when it’s girl-on-girl, it’s even better!!!"

Robby Grewal - "Neetu has liked doing the shoot and I have liked looking at the pictures. So where does the question of protests or morality come into picture?

At the end of the day when an artist and a consumer are comfortable with something, there should not be a problem with everyone else.

And come on, it’s not the first time that such pictures have come on print, so why are we making a hue and cry?"

Hrithik Roshan will be seen in wheelchair mostly with Aishwarya Rai

The bollywood hunk Hrithik Roshan is one such actor in Bollywood  who has tried his hand in variety of roles and has also been successful in his effort. In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’, he is all set to play a paraplegic patient.

Hrithik as a patient will be seen in wheelchair mostly with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan nursing him. A source reveals, “Hrithik plays Ethan, a radio show host.

Nisha Kothari to impress everyone with her forthcoming flick ‘Agyaat’

Changing her name did not help Priyanka Kothari aka Nisha Kothari much. She was last seen in a tantalizing item number with Fardeen Khan in ‘Darling’. Her delayed release ‘Go’ went unnoticed and without creating any stir.

Now, it seems she is all set to impress everyone with her forthcoming flick ‘Agyaat’ where she plays the solo female lead. She also has a sizzling dance number in the film titled ‘Kiss Mix’.

“Yes, that’s my song in Agyaat. Don’t you like the sound of ‘Kiss Mix’? I find it quite cute actually; it is just one of it’s own kinds,” says Priyanka.

When the shooting of AGYAAT  had come to a standstill, only a few scenes involving Priyanka were waiting to be shot. The earlier plans were to have only song to be picturised but later ‘Kiss Mix’ was added as an after thought.

“This is one song which has excited me so much after a very long time. And before you call it as an item or a promotional number, let me clear this at the very onset that ‘Kiss Mix’ would be very much a part of the film”, says Priyanka.

Who would dare to say NO to Mallika Sherawat

It was considered an unwritten rule in Bollywood that when Mallika Sherawat demands something she gets it. There aren’t many men in the industry who would dare to say NO to Mallika Sherawat.

Remember even Big B had accepted her offer to go for jogging in slow motion on National Television. But well there has been an exception now! It is learnt from my industry sources that talented actor Kay Kay Menon turned down the role that Mallika offered him in her home production Hisss.

Reveals our source, "Mallika is a genuine fan of Kay Kay’s work, especially his intensity.

Together they had worked in Sanjay Chhel’s Maan Gaye Moghal-E-Azam and in her promotional interviews for the film she had heaped huge praises on him.

So when she was deciding upon the casting for an important role in her film that required a very intense actor, naturally Kay Kay’s name cropped in her mind. She then sent her team over to him with the script.

After few days Kay Kay called Mallika and told her that he found the script interesting and that he was confident that she would make a good film but he cannot see himself in that part that she has offered him in the film.

It is then learnt that Mallika who is not used to hearing a NO hung up on him in the middle of the conversation even before he could give reasons for not doing the film."

Well just imagine what would have happened had he said that on her face...a HISSSS???

I had to be fully ready. And I just didn’t get time to rehearse. So I regretfully had to say no. But I’d rather not give anything less than my best when I’m representing my country.”

Shilpa says she was happy to be just a spectator at the finals. “So what if my team wasn’t playing. I think I’m sporting enough to enjoy the game as just a part of the audience.”

Kareena Kapoor got a taste of the love of her die hard fans

Ahmedabad was indeed a memorable trip for Kareena Kapoor who got a taste of the love of her die hard fans who rushed towards the stage while she was performing on a medley of her hit songs at a show in the city.

The performance was at Karnavati Club for the event organised by producer Vashu Bhagnani to promote his son Jackky’s debut “Kal Kissne Dekha” which also stars Kareena.

A shaken Vashu Bhagnani said: “It’s true. Ahmedabad went crazy for Kareena. We expected a huge turn-out at the Karnavati Club, but not this much…30,000 people showed up! And when Kareena came on stage they lost control. About 400 people rushed to the stage. Fortunately we whisked her out of the back entrance. So nothing untoward happened.”

Bhagnani says he is indebted to Kareena. “She took on these frenzied fans for my son’s sake. Who says this film industry is heartless? Kareena is all heart.”

Vashu was so shaken by the Ahmedabad incident that he hesitated asking Kareena to be part of the next promotional show in Delhi May 27, but Kareena is all sport for it. Says Kareena: “Yeah it did get pretty tricky at a point. Yeh sab hota hai. It was my first visit to Ahmedabad. I performed a medley of my best songs choreographed by Remo. It was for Vashu-ji’s son. How can I forget he gave me my first big hit ‘Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai’? When his son is entering films it’s my duty to support him.”

Though the fan frenzy scared her, it came as a pleasant surprise when a large number of little girls descended at the performance venue dressed as her character Geet in hit film “Jab We Met ”.

“It simply zapped me. I completely forgot the heat of Ahmedabad when I saw those girls. It will be a long time before I’m allowed to forget Geet in ‘Jab We Met’,” Kareena said.

Fardeen and Aishwarya exchanged notes like two wounded war veterans

The Padma Shri pair Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan rushed back from different parts of the world to resume shooting for Vipul Shah’s Action Replay in Karjat on the outskirts of Mumbai at Nitin Desai’s studio.

But while Akshay proceeded straight from the airport on landing from Singapore Aishwarya on landing from Cannes took a day off on Monday to spend with her parents before leaving for Karjat.

“It was a long spell. Shooting in Karjat for prolonged periods is not new to Aishwarya. For Jodhaa-Akbar she was stationed in Karjat for so long that it became her second home. But now circumstances have changed.

After her father’s illness, Aishwarya doesn’t like to be away from Mumbai for prolonged periods. Even when she was shooting in the jungles of Kerala for Mani Ratnam Aishwarya made sure she visited Mumbai to be with her father.

Though she never lets it show in her work being away from home is very difficult for her now and would like to shoot as much as possible in Mumbai. Ironically almost all her films are being shot outside the city. ”

Her father’s health scare has bonded Aishwarya with others who are similarly traumatized by terminal illness in the industry.

Says a source, “Aishwarya kept track of Feroz Khan’s health through Fardeen and when he passed away she was deeply affected. At the prayer meeting Fardeen and Aishwarya exchanged notes like two wounded war veterans.”

Father’s health is now Aishwarya’s primary cocern. On landing from Cannes on Monday Aishwarya decided to break her journey to spend a day with her parents.

“It was something I had to do. I did it more for myself than for them, ” she said before taking off to Karjat.

Salman Khan 'confirmed’ to his friendship with Claudia Ciesla

Heart throb and the darling of millions of women, Bollywood badshah Salman Khan has officially acknowledged German supermodel and Hollywood actress Claudia Ciesla as his "special friend".

According to a report in a national Kolkatta-based newspaper, Salman Khan has ’confirmed’ to the Indian press his friendship with Claudia and has even introduced her to his family’.

According to sources, Claudia is a very private person. She will never talk about her personal life. She refused to comment on her ‘relationship’ with Salman and even forbade her spokesperson from breathing a word about anything to the media. But now Salman cleared the air in a candid and straight-from-the-heart interview to a Kolkatta paper.

Claudia Ciesla’s spokesperson, publicist and Manager for India said, “Claudia has been wrongly understood by the Indian Media. She is not a topless or nude model. It was only once at the beginning of her career about 4 years ago - like many Indian actresses - that she posed topless for a very prestigious magazine.

 It was a very artistic and classy shoot.Claudia has never posed nude and will vowed never to do any nude shoots. All the other photos that show Claudia nude or topless are fake and digitally altered. We will sue anyone who claims that Claudia is a topless or nude model."

Speaking to the journalist from Kolkatta via email, Claudia said, "I love the Indian Culture, ethos, and traditions. I respect all Indian religions. I am God-willing planning to permanently settle in India.

I am not a nude or topless model but a very serious professional who has done some very good work in the west." She also elaborated that she represents Bollywood fashion designer Umair Zafar’s ethnic and Indian fashion in Europe.

Claudia has also confirmed that she will participate in the Living Talent Face of India, beauty pageant and fashion show to be held in Mumbai in June and also walk the ramp for a charity event in support of Mumbai’s street children.

According to her spokesperson, "Claudia is very sensitive towards Indian culture. She immediately consented to do the talent contest and beauty pageant LIVING TALENT FACE OF INDIA event which will contribute a substantial sum of money for the benefit of street children.

 According to the report in the Kolkatta newspaper, Salman invited Claudia to his home, introduced Claudia to his family. "Claudia is a very nice girl. I have introduced her to my family, " Salman Khan said casually when queried about his ’relationship’ with Claudia.

Filling in the blanks from Germany, Claudia said, "I met his wonderful family - brothers, sister and his darling and handsome father Salim. They are a very warm and friendly family.

All very down to earth. Salman is a real man. He has a heart of gold. He is fearless - not scared to admit his friendship with anyone, unlike some other male actors and directors in Bollywood. Salman Khan is my hero, " said a blushing Claudia.

Clarifying about Claudia’s meeting with Abhishek Bachchan at Cannes, her spokesperson said, “It is a fact that Claudia and Abhishek met and chatted for a while. But it was a formal discussion though Abhishek was quite friendly. The photos were not just ‘fan pix’ as made out by some media persons and publications.
