According To Kareena, Salman Khan Is The Rajnikanth Of Bollywood

Who is Rajnikanth in bollywood? No, it’s not Akshay, SRK, Aamir or Hrithik. It’s none other than our own brawny man Salman Khan, one of bollywood’s most flamboyant superstars, who is being called the Rajnikanth of bollywood given his mass appeal that surpasses all logic.
The title of Rajnikanth has been given to Salman Khan by bollywood’s hottest and prettiest babe Kareena Kapoor. Kareena believes that Salman is the only star in bollywood who matches the charisma of Rajnikanth. She says, “He’s the only phenomenon the industry has. He’s a natural born actor. Whatever he does becomes a craze. To me, he’s the Rajnikanth of Bollywood.”
Alright Bebo. We have little to dispute on that. And coming from you, the title surely defines Salman most appropriately. Source

Sonakshi Sinha Turns Glamorous

Katrina Kaif may be scorching the screen by turning ‘Sheila’ for Akshay Kumar for their upcoming film together. However, Sonakshi Sinha won’t quite be following suit. Yes, she would be donning a glamorous avtar for her just announced film with Akshay. However, chances are near to nil that she would be following the footsteps of much senior Katrina as of now at least.
Laughs Farah Khan who is the co-producer of the film along with Shirish Kunder and Akshay Kumar, “Rest assured, she wouldn’t be getting into a ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ mode for our next film. After all her role in the film doesn’t demand that such a situation for that at all.”
Now that could well be a little disheartening for Sinha junior who had to silently watch Malaika Arora walk away with ’seetis’ and ‘taalis’ as ‘Munni Badnaam’ [DABANGG]. Thankfully though, Sonakshi would be getting out of her ’saree’ avtar in DABANGG and would be donning a much glamorous persona.
“Sonakshi plays an urban girl in the film so yes, she would be seen in the Western outfits”, confirms Shirish for whom this would be his second directorial outing after JAAN-E-MANN, “I am aware that audience want more of her after DABANGG. With our film, there would be a handful of her as she has a role of substance. She isn’t there just for 3-4 scenes.”
Farah too is aware about the expectations and promises that there would be a different side of Sonakshi that audience will see. “After Katrina’s dance number in my upcoming film, I know that audience will expect yet another stylized yet sensual item song from Sonakshi as well. However, we can’t place an item number just for the sake of it”, she smiles.
Guess Sonakshi would have to wait for some more time before she gets her own ‘Munni Badnaam’ or ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’. Source

Hrithik Is Staying Away From Sons, Hrehaan & Hridaan

Hrithik Roshan, who was hospitalised for an allergic reaction to an antibiotic medicine, as reported, has returned home but has not allowed his sons to see him.
‘They’d get so scared if they saw me like this. Though my lips are going back to their normal size, they’re still not fully normal. I don’t want my sons to see me until I look like myself again,’ said Hrithik.
The actor, who is married to Sussanne, has two sons – Hrehaan, 4, and Hridaan, 2.
‘This kind of attack happens in the rarest of rare cases. But it happened to me. Anything could’ve happened if I hadn’t rushed to the hospital,’ said the actor who was rushed to the hospital Sunday and was discharged on Monday.
The actor was on his way to a very dear friend’s funeral when it happened. In fact, so alarming were the symptoms that Hrithik just rushed to the hospital.
‘I was driving to a friend’s funeral when the attack suddenly happened. It just makes you so grateful for the gift of life.’
The 36-year-old had gotten so frightened that he had checked into the hospital alone.
‘It was crazy! I’d have been frightened to death at what I saw in the mirror. Within minutes my lips had swollen to 10 times the normal size. Luckily for me, even in that shocking state, I remembered Eddie Murphy in a film where his lips had swollen to monstrous proportions because of an allergy. So I knew it wasn’t fatal,’ he said.
Hrithik was immediately able to identify that it was an allergy caused by a new antibiotic he had taken half-an-hour earlier.
‘That was the only alien substance introduced in my body. I told my doctors about it. And they were immediately able to locate the source of allergy. Such violent allergy attacks usually happen in the West after eating prawns.
‘I must be the only person in the universe to get so sick after taking an antibiotic pill,’ said the actor who has earned rave reviews for his performance as paraplegic patient in ‘Guzaarish’.
Hrithik is overwhelmed by the response to his performance in ‘Guzaarish’.
‘I guess this (the hospitalization) was god’s way of balancing things out. I was getting much love for my performance it had to be counter-balanced.’
‘Guzaarish’ has taken Hrithik to new heights of self-realization. ‘How can one not be affected when you meet these people who are paralyzed for life? Their spirit and joie de vivre just overwhelms you. I’ll always be grateful to Sanjay Bhansali for giving me the opportunity to do this film.’
”Guzaarish’ is a different scale and space. The closest I’ve been to this space is ‘Jodhaa-Akbar’. It’s an entirely different experience when you know you’re affecting lives beyond entertainment.’ Source

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of those stars who has carved a niche in the Bollywood film industry in such a way that no matter what her critics have to say about her she always manages to come out of every tight spot with grace and aplomb.
Not very long ago there was some news about most of her movies not doing well at the box office, yet she was considered one of the most bankable stars in a movie, which just goes on to say that she is a very popular star that cannot be avoided even with our eyes closed.
However there are still many who believe that Aishwarya has more of her starry good looks than her acting talent to prove her worth in the industry.
But then if that was the case then how come she still holds the position amongst the top A -grade actresses when many of her contemporaries have laid down their arms and taken a back seat to give the newbies a chance?
Well the fact remains that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has stood the test of time and is now placed on a pedestal where she just cannot be questioned about her star status, irrespective of the fact that  any or all of her films fail at the box office or not.

A Lady Wins Rs.1 Crore On Amitabh Bachchan’s KBC 4

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is all praise for Rahat Taslim from Jharkhand who became the first woman to win Rs.1 crore on his gameshow ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. ‘Rahat Taslim, a small town housewife from Giriddih, Jharkhand as you all may have known by now, won the one crore at KBC,’ Amitabh posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com.
‘A simple woman, a Muslim from an unknown village, still under the social and conservative norms of the ‘purdah’, came out from her house stitching activities that earned her 2000-3000 rupees in order to run the house and made a crore of rupees,’ he added.
Taslim, 37, who is the first contestant of the fourth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati to win Rs.1 crore, had spent most of her life facing endless hardships.
While she sews clothes, her husband works with the Mica Trading Corp of India on a salary of Rs.6,000.
‘She never in her life had opened even a bank account, because of their meagre earnings, had never seen the lakhs that came to her in the form of the zero’s on her cheque and had never ever imagined that she would get to the hot seat at KBC,’ Amitabh wrote.
‘But she did. Her husband was away working in Cochin in Kerala and she took the initiative to apply first to KBC,’ he added.
Praising her knowledge, Amitabh wrote: ‘She played like a master, knew most of the answers till she reached the 50 lakh mark and then cracked the million dollar question.’
The actor wrote that never once did the contestant flinch or express any fear of what she was getting into and was confident from the word go.
‘What a fantastic moment for the game. What a fantastic moment for women in our country – that given an opportunity, they had the ability to shine like never before. And that the heart of India resides in that little village or town which we know nothing about!’ he added.
‘Well done Rahat, you have become a part of a very important and historic moment not just for the game of KBC, but for the country as well. More, country,’ he added. Source
