Salman Khan Takes The Art Class In Symbiosis Institute

Students of Symbiosis Institute in Pune got a rare insight into the actor’s passion for colour when ‘Bodyguard’ was shot there

While we know that Salman Khan has earned laurels for his work as an artist, it seems he wasn’t too inclined towards the canvas during his student days.

However, during the shoot of Bodyguard at Symbiosis in Pune, the actor took an impromptu art class.

Salman, who plays a bodyguard to the film’s lead heroine Kareena Kapoor, was taken by surprise during a lunch break one day.

“The students started asking him all sorts of questions about art,” recalls our source, adding that it began when one guy asked what the actor did during his spare time to relax.

Our source further adds, “Salman said that painting took up most of his spare time as it also had a soothing effect on him.

Then he proceeded to draw a sketch of Jesus on the blackboard with the colour chalks available in the classroom.”

That’s not all. “Then he also went on to talk at length about his interest in art and explained how he went about exploring himself as an artist.

He was pleased that several students there loved art, and so he encouraged them to find time to indulge in their creative interests,” says our source.

Towards the end, Kareena too joined in the interaction with the students. Source

Rakhi Sawant Takes Panga With Hrithik On Television

It seems that actor and TV host Rakhi Sawant and her publicity team had lied about the ratings of her earlier reality show and falsely claimed that she can trump actor Hrithik Roshan anyday. While industry insiders are shocked by Rakhi’s ‘cheap stunt’, apparently Team Hrithik is very upset too.
“Rakhi had mentioned in one of her interviews that she has got a better TRP than Hrithik which is absolutely false. The numbers speak for themselves. We guess this was a cheap stunt by her publicity team and this has upset the producers of Hrithik’s show,” says a unit member of Hrithik’s TV show. Apparently, Rakhi had earlier spoken about trumping actors Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar in her reality shows too.
According to the TRP ratings, Hrithik’s show has got the highest cumulative TRP rating (which is an average of daily viewership rating) of 4.7 which is the highest cumulative rating among any non-fiction show. Also, among the individual TRP rating (daily viewership), India’s Got Talent had got a TRP rating which is as high as 3.9.
“Rakhi never got the highest TRP among the reality shows. She has even mocked SRK in one of her earlier shows. Everybody knows what ratings Rakhi got for her earlier shows and the controversies she ran into for her acid tongue,” says a source close to the star. Hrithik, of course, has chosen not to react.
Hrithik got the highest television rating points (TRPs) for a non-fiction show in 2011. Hrithik is thrilled with the response he got from the viewers and he chooses not to refer to Rakhi’s comments. “The credit for the super opening must entirely go to the channel’s team. TV is about content and from all the feedback that I have received, it’s clear that they’ve built a good show. I am super-excited and am looking forward to the next vigorous round of competition between the best dancers from across the world!” he exclaimed. Source

Shahid Kapoor To Turn Director - Takes Inspiration From Dad

After watching his father, Pankaj Kapoor’s tranquil style of direction during the making of ‘Mausam’, Bollywood chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor has decided to don the director’s cap.
Talking to a daily on Shahid’s newfound passion, a source said, “Shahid was hands-on from the start of the project. And by `start` I don`t mean the day shooting began. ‘Mausam’ was Shahid`s pet project from the time his father wrote it. It was known that Shahid would play the lead, and participate actively in all the behind-the-scenes activities, including casting.”
Apparently, the decision to cast Sonam Kapoor was very much Shahid`s own decision as the source continued, “Since it`s a love story, there are only two principal characters in ‘Mausam’. It was very important to cast the right face and personality. Various names including Priyanka Chopra, Sonakshi Sinha and Deepika Padukone were considered. Both, Pankaj and Shahid zeroed in on Sonam. The role required a Kashmiri girl, and they felt Sonam looked the part. She should have a dreamy look on screen.” the source said.
Buzz has it that Shahid has learnt the art of surrendering himself to the director and this is why he will not cast himself as actor in the film he plans to directs. “While Ranbir Kapoor is willing to cast himself in his directorial debut, Shahid won`t. When he directs a film next year, it will feature another actor,” added the source.
When enquired the actor, Shahid said, “Working with my dad has been a very different experience. He`s a very sorted director. That`s the way I want to be. To surrender to the director and trust him blindly is a great feeling. I want to experience it first-hand. From now on, when I am acting, I`ll surrender to the director`s vision. It takes away from the pressure of being an actor. It was humbling working with dad.” Source
