Saawariya is a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film starring Salman Khan and Rani Mukherjee. Aishwarya Rai was originally offered the lead role but declined because Salman Khan had already signed.

We’ll no longer copy Hollywood movies – says Bollywood

It looks like Bollywood finally woke up to the fact that it is a copyright infringement when they blatantly copy Hollywood movies. Well, it is just that Hollywood don’t care to get down to that level of Bollywood to fight out. In a recent development, the re-maker copier film producer Ravi Chopra, son of BR Chopra is making another plagiarized version of My Cousin Vinny with Govinda. However, they claimed that the copyright this time is bought and not plagiarized.

Bipasha Basu bares it all on her Blog

Bipasha BasuBipasha Basu proudly claims that John is still with him, “John has never had just a fleeting interest in anything. Not his bikes, his business ventures, his endorsements or his relationships. Either he’s totally engrossed in them, or he’s not. So ladies, despite what I may read in the papers in the morning, I know he’s coming back to me at night.”

She further says, “If the media is to be believed, John apparently has no consistent taste in women, so he chases every woman that the media finds available. If half of their insecurities for me were true, I would be a nervous wreck. I’m also aware that our continued togetherness doesn’t sell newspapers. Our real and imagined miseries do.”

Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon

The English version of the above Hindi Phrase reads “I want to become Madhuri Dixit.”

I must admit that I have always been a very big fan of Madhuri right from days immemorial. So to watch her again some time soon is really exciting. I watched her on Koffee with Karan this Sunday. She looked stunning! I mean after all she is a mother of two boys; and yet she looked gorgeous on the show. Agreed that she doesn’t look like she did in her films in the 90′s but what the heck! She still has those mesmerizing eyes and the 22-carat smile that can illuminate any dull moment.

Abhishek was set to marry Aishwarya on the 20th of this month. Media speculations had begun well in advance. However as the d-day drew closer, the media just lost it.

The media just overdid the whole thing. Whats the big deal about a celeb getting married?

Apart from the media there was some girl claming to have married Abhishek. For lord’s sake when will these cheepos stop vying for publicity. It was a damn cheap publicity stunt.

It’s pity – only one lover troubled to stir Aishwarya & Abhishek Marriage

Aishwarya weds AbhishekAlright, the hoopla about the marriage was hugely exaggerated, media banked on it even if they were allowed neither inside Prateeksha nor Jalsa (both residences of the Bachchans). Forgetting about the event, I mistakenly drove along that road on my way home on the 18th April (the sangeet day) and I had to face the snarling traffic amongst the frenzy of fans, and onlookers gathering around the Bachchan’s home in Juhu.
