Govinda ignores her heroine

Actor-turned-politician Govinda has been facing a crisis in his filmi career as his movies are flopping, and the directors and the producers have been distancing themselves from him. In spite of this, Govinda has annoyed her co-star. Govinda's second heroine Aarti Chhabria in his next 'Sukh' has blamed him for keeping her away from the film's promos and from the press conference called to promote the film. Thus, Aarti is being deprived of whatever sukh (comfort) Govinda hopes from the movie for himself or the cast. Incidentally, all other artists, including Chunky Pandey, Priti Jhangiani and others, were present at the recently held press conference. However, Aarti was conspicuous by her absence.

Esha Deol's next

Esha Deol confesses her mistake of entering into films pretty early and also of not choosing the right films. However, she denies that she didn't do certain films on her mother's advice. "In fact, I erred in not going by her advice. Had I heeded to her advice, I would have fared much better." She also admits that 'Dhoom' has helped her in removing the tag of flops. However, 'Dhoom' has placed her in the category of bold and sexy actresses. After all, one has to pay the fee for one's success. Esha has no regret though. "I have been receiving appreciation letters from my fans for my performance. Why do I need bother about the criticism of doing sexy scenes? But, I understand the line of demarcation, and shall never cross it. My sister Aahna and my mother are my strongest critics. They have no objection in my looking glamorous though. Even Sunny has no objection. I don't discus these things with them. I enjoy their confidence." When asked about her forthcoming movies, she said they are 'David Dhawan's 'Shaadi Number One' and Ghosh' 'Kahin Aag Na Lag Jaaye'." Besides, I am studying some scripts, but I shall not do more than two or three movies in a year."

Urmila: I have a censor in me

Rangeela girl Urmila Matondkar who is doing a thriller 'Naina', claims that she has a built-in censor in herself. Though she wore shorts and looked ultramodern in ' Rangeela', she never appeared vulgar. She is very critical of the recent movies like 'Jism', 'Murder' and 'Paap' in which the girls have shed clothes. "I don't think I can do this in my present life. I believe in glamour, but not in nudity or vulgarity. That's why I don't accept a movie unless a censor inside me clears it." Regarding the marriage, she says it will take place at an appropriate time. I am looking for a prince who is intelligent and sensitive too. I wish him to give me love and respect." She doesn't bother about awards nor does she accept a film from this point of view. "My audience is my award,'' she adds.

Bips banks on 'Apaharan'

Bipasha Basu has been desperately looking for a hit for the last one year. She is targeting to hit 'Apaharan' soon. She is doing this movie in the role of a simple girl unlike in the past when she acted bold and sexy. She is playing opposite an established actor Ajay Devgan in 'Apaharan'. This is to recall that Bipasha Basu hasn't had hits on her own during the recent past though she rose to fame in the Bhatt camp's 'Raj' and 'Jism'. Prakash Jha, director of 'Apaharan' is confident that his movie will take Bipasha to a new height in the tinsel world. She will be then counted among the top heroines of Hindi movies.

WILL AMITABH PLAY DILIP'S ROLE IN 'ASSAR- THE IMPACT'

We may recall that about two and a half years ago, producer Dinesh Patel had launched the muhurt of his movie 'Assar-The Impact' to be directed by Kukku Kohli. The movie's cast comprised the pair of Ajay Devgan and Priyanka Chopra. The shooting of the movie didn't begin though even after several months. The reason was stated to be that yesteryears' super actor Dilip Kumar was to play a role. However, Dilip didn't like the assigned role. As a result, Dinesh Patel decided to abandon the project, and announced his next 'Benaam' that's ready for release any time now. Meanwhile, Dinesh Patel's friends advised him to resume shoot of his abandoned 'Assar'.

Patel discussed the matter with director Kukku and the latter with Devgan. According to reliable reports, Devgan has already given dates for the shoot. Besides, Priyanka Chopra has patched up with the producer who had been angry with her. Now, the million dollar question is about who will play Dilip's role. Since Amitabh Bachchan is the most successful actor playing a father these days, the producer and the director have asked Devgan to persuade Amitabh to do the coveted role. Dinesh Patel is very confident that Amitabh will accept to act in the movie. However, there is no official commitment by the authorities.

Amitabh Bachan


Dilip Kumar

HIMANSHU'S NO BABA NO TO MALLIKA

Himanshu Malik of the 'Tum Bin' and 'Khwahish' fame has traveled to films via modeling. He acted as model for a wide range of products. Besides, he did over 150 ramp shows for almost all top designers. He has acted in plays too. Apart from this, he has worked in music videos with singers like Sonu Nigam and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. After 'Tum Bin', he acted in 'Khwahish' opposite bold and sexy symbol Mallika Sherawat. When asked about his experience with Mallika, he quipped, " a Baba Na (No, not at all).

Though 'Khwahish' was my solo hero movie and it proved a hit, Mallika has tried to take the full credit herself. "She is selfish and has a loud mouth. No one wants to work along with her because of her selfish attitude." Speaking about his next heroine Meghna Naidu, Himanshu says that she is a very intelligent heroine. Incidentally, he has been doing movies with girls famous for bold and sexy scenes. However, he has no regret to work with Naidu in two more movies. A director or a producer of the movie chooses the cast, and an actor like him has no role to play in it. Himanshu is doing 'Jackpot' and 'Koi Aap Sa' at present.

Mallika Sherawat

SHAH RUKH-RANI PAIR IN PALEKAR'S 'PAHELI'

A much-awaited film this summer is Amol Palekar's 'Paheli', being produced by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. The film is based on a story 'Duvidha' by literary stalwart Vijay Dan Detha. The film was shot in Mumbai and Rajasthan within 43 days. We took a look at the film, heard its music and met up with the crew. The suspense is partly over.

Noted actor and director Amol Palekar's much-awaited and star-studded film, 'Paheli', featuring 'King' Khan, 'Queen' Rani and the Big B is ready. And a colourful event in Mumbai marked the music launch of the film. Based on a story from Rajasthan folklore, the film will have Shah Rukh Khan essaying the role of a ghost who falls in love with a married woman, played by Rani Mukherjee.

"My character is that of a normal ghost. He is not the one who would scare anyone. And since I have been doing romantic films for the last 15 years, the ghost that I get to play is also romantic. And yes the look is all Rajashthani --- therefore the pagdi in the posters and the moustache," says Shah Rukh Khan.

Seems like Rani is really ruling the roost in Bollywood. And the Shah Rukh-Rani pair is certainly liked by the audiences. "I love working with Shah Rukh. And 'Paheli' is a different film, with Amol Palekar directing the film; it makes it even more special. I love the music of the film as it has a lot of folk input from Rajasthan and extremely colourful." Apart from these two, the film also boasts of the largest star cast in recent times. It also features talented Marathi actors like Neena Kulkarni, Dilip Prabhavalkar and Nikhil Ratnaparkhi. Amitabh Bachchan, Rajpal Yadav, Juhi Chawla and Suniel Shetty have made special appearances.

"The story needed a lot of characters and each one was not the lead. But to get actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Juhi or even Neena, Nikhil for these vital characters was important. They have made the film look just so much better. And the characters just so right, " says director, Amol Palekar.

'Paheli' promises to be a rather colourful film - both in terms of its sound and look. The sounds of traditional instruments of Rajasthan like the ravanhatta and alguja, can be heard in the compositions of M M Kreem. Classical singers like Bela Shende, Shruti Sadolikar and Kalapini Komakali, the granddaughter of the legendary Kumar Gandharva, share the platform with Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. "It was certainly a welcome change to sing songs with different instruments which are not usually used.

And also with the classical singers, who are just too good, says Sonu Nigam. The 20-year-old Shreya Ghoshal is MM Kreem's favourite singer, and undoubtedly she has sung in 'Paheli' as well. "I don't know if I am his favourite, but we certainly have a rapport and he gave me a chance and a hit in 'Jism'. I have stayed in Rajasthan for about 6-7 years, so singing with these instruments and incorporating their folk words came easy to me. I think the entire album is a treat," says Shreya.

'Paheli' does look and sound good. But will it be the much-awaited hit for Amol Palekar? The question will soon be answered!

Shah Rukh Khan


Rani Mukherjee

TALAASH FITS A HERO LIKE AKSHAY

Akshay Kumar was one touted as desi James Bond in the context of Bollywood films. His persona, his charm and the way he carries out stunts on the screen, earned him a huge following. Right from the day when he first hit bull's eye in the form of Abbas Mustan starter 'Khilaadi', he has essayed some of the most unbelievable action roles on Indian screen. Then suddenly from no where he gathered an idea to come out of this action hero image and started trying some roles which neither suited him nor was he able to carry them on his shoulders. So one saw films like 'Dhadkan', 'Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya' and others failing at the box office. Last year saw him as a man with brain as he not only decided to return with his old shoes but also managed to win his fans back in the film 'Awara Paagal Deewana'. Though, it was a multi-starrer but even then his role was praised a lot. Akshay returns in 'Talaash' with his best (action).

'Talaash' is a story of search of a man's own identity and his abilities to find out what he can do, when he is put against odds. As the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tougher gets going. The action thriller, 'Talaash', is the movie for a hero like Akshay. He plays Arjun who is a happy go lucky kind of man until one day he finds himself on a ferocious ride. This ride takes him to a mission that he is to carry on despite his family problems. Arjun carries on with his shallow encounters. But, the entry of Tina (Kareena Kapoor), Arjun's mission goes topsy-turvy. Arjun's compulsion to love (Is Bond 007 listening) takes him to another foray. He decides to die another day and make love. But as soon as he remembers his mission to chase criminals, the young Tina leaves for an alien nation with his father. Arjun realizes that the bait to his unsolved puzzle lies totally on this sensational woman.

Suneel Darshan, who made films like 'Jaanwar' and 'Dhadkan' with Akshay, directs 'Talaash'. But this time he directs Akshay for another producer. Suneel has tried hard to change his protege's image in his own films more than once. But when you are on roll of another master you cannot go by your own instinct. Sunil's handling of scenes deserves special mention especially when the hero is going through a trauma. Suneel again shows his brilliance in the train sequence. This action flick has many moments to make you hold the arms of your seat.

Kareena is beautiful and her face has cunning smile that can make any number of people die for her. But to be a heroine in Hindi films, she should learn a lesson from Aishwarya Rai or she should watch 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. One also sees Pooja Batra in the film. She hardly looks Pooja of 'Virasat'. Rakhee tries to maintain her image of a crying mother in Bollywood films.

A thriller or a suspense always relies on a catchy and haunting music in the Indian context. But music of 'Talaash' lacks this. The Sanjeev Darshan duo fails once more in giving the right kind of music.

'JISM' CROWNS BIPASHA

Bipasha Basu in 'Jism' has outdone her rival Aishwarya Rai in 'Dil Ka Rishta' at the box office. For the first time release of two new films on the same day, 'Jism' and 'Dil Ka Rishta' were indeed a pleasure for movie watchers. Bipasha Basu is sure to create waves in the film industry. 'Jism' has taken a good start all over the country and if it goes on to do the same kind of business for few days more, it can be the first hit film of the New Year. The film is path breaking in the sense that it does not present its heroine merely as a Barbie doll. She has brain too. Loosely inspired from Hollywood flick 'Fatal Attraction', 'Jism' also continues the trend where the man protagonist of a film changes his face and turns into a villain by the time the story is through. A woman asking for physical needs to be fulfilled is not an easy thing in the Indian context. But this heroine says, 'This body (Jism) does not need only love (yeh jism sirf pyaar nahin chahta). 'Jism' starts where films like 'Darr' of Shah Rukh Khan and 'Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya' of Urmila Matondkar ended. When Meena Kumari asked for her physical needs to be fulfilled in 'Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam' many an audience changed their positions. But the time has changed now. Sex is no more taboo.

Written by veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, 'Jism' is the story of Kabir Lal (John Abraham), a lawyer living alone in Pondicherry. He is restless and reckless. His friends try to evoke interest in him but it does not help until he meets sensuous Sonia. (Bipasha) His encounter with Sonia changes his life. This breathtaking beauty and seduction personified is hard to escape. Sonia is a young, sexy and dangerously ambitious wife of a middle-aged industrialist Rohit Khanna (Gulshan Grover). Sonia is not happy with Rohit.

She teaches Kabir what it feels like to be happy and what it means to be loved and make love. For Kabir it is a new feeling. But little does he know about the path on which he has just set about. Her sexual appeal works and Kabir is ready to do anything for her. She readies Kabir to eliminate Rohit in the name of their love. Kabir does this for his love but the trouble begins when the murder plan is executed and Sonia begins to take independent decisions. Kabir is shocked to see Sonia changing so fast. He also comes to know about her real intention. But it is too late. He finds himself a helpless victim. Sonia hatches another plan. This time she discovers a new man to get rid of Kabir, but hardly does she know that Kabir is a lawyer too. The race to outdo each other begins and what one sees is a fast pace thriller that leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat.


It is the screenplay by Mahesh Bhatt that emerges as the real hero. He has really presented a woman of 21st century. His deliberate attempts to bring out gray and black shades of a woman who is deprived of her physical needs do magic. The script is well supported by the one-liners and catchy dialogues by Niranjan Iyengar. The team of Bhatt and Ieyengar works in tandem and in perfect rhythm. The content in any film is going to be the king now and only films with good narration and brilliant presentations are going to survive. Amit Saxena, whose crisp editing in last year's hit 'Raaz' was well appreciated, is promoted as director of 'Jism'. Being an editor, Amit is well versed with nuances of shot taking and framing of locations for camera. Photography and music are the other brilliant features. Producer Pooja Bhatt has repeated M.M. Kreem in her film after 'Sur'.

Among performers, it is Bipasha who is going to have her bag full of offers. She looks like a Julia Roberts in the making in Bollywood, if one has a look at the kinds of roles she has been doing. John Abraham makes an average debut, he is good looking and impressive, but has to learn many things before he hits the bull's eye. Gulshan Grover acts aptly in the role of middle-aged millionaire. 'Jism' is another good example of excellent teamwork.

SUNNY'S 'DHOOL'

Guddu Dhanoa's next venture starring his favorite actor Sunny Deol is titled 'Dhool'. A remake of a Tamil film of the same name is produced by G.A.Shashagiri Rao of Padmalaya Telefilms Limited. Guddu and Sunny are inseparable. They seem to be always working together. "I like the way Sunny acts and works. We have been working for a long time together so our frequencies match," says the director.

We caught up with this action hero who is usually media shy. We started by asking him about 'Dhool' and his character in the film.

What's 'Dhool' all about and what's your role in it?

It's a remake of a south Indian film where I play a villager who comes to the city.

Sunny is one actor who usually stays away from remakes. So how come this?

Yes. I don't like to do remakes. But I have done South Indian film earlier and I completely fell in love with the story of 'Dhool'. So I signed the film and this will be my second remake in my film career till date.

What's between you and Guddu Dhanoa? Aren't you doing movies that he directs?

I have a very good rapport with Gudduji. We have done a couple of films together. We share a good chemistry and know each other well. So I feel completely at ease when working with him and on top of all this I think he is a capable director to do this film. While making a remake there are many changes made to the original story to cater to the audience.

What about the story of this film?

We have retained the originality of the story consciously. Of course, a few changes are made to suit the language the film is being made in. But it's a conscious effort not to make innumerable changes otherwise we could have altered the core of the story.

Everyone says we can't tell you about the story right now, you see the film. Would you give us a little appetizer?

All right. The story revolves around villagers who come to the city with their water problem in the hope to meet their political leader who is connected to the same village, and who could help them with their problem.

Aren't you romancing with Sameera Reddy and Bhumika Chawla who are fairly new in the industry?

I have worked with a lot of new or fairly new people. I am an old hat now. (Laughs). Both Sameera and Bhumika are able actors and they suit their roles very well. And to become an old comer one has to do films. And the new comers are more professional and dedicated towards work as they have to prove themselves.

Apart from 'Dhool', have you paired along with Dharmendra and Bobby for a film?

Yes, there were some talks earlier. We would love to star together in a movie. Let's hope it materializes.

Being a Punjabi and a patriot, you have been in a whole lot of patriotic film, what about your Punjabi flicks?

Oh, I would definitely love to do them. I haven't thought of them. But maybe in the future you might see me in some.

A lot of actors join the director's bandwagon?

No such plans for me right now, though on the production front we have two films: 'Deodhar Gandhi' and 'Socha Na Tha'. They will release in June and August, respectively.

VIVEK OBEROI: MANI RATNAM IS NOT COMPARABLE WITH ANYONE

After the success of 'Masti' one more film 'Yuva' is about to release soon. Vivek Oberoi thinks that it is one very important film of his career.

What's your role in Yuva?

In this film I am doing the role of Arjun Bal Krishna, who has a dream to go abroad and earn lots of money. His wishes are unlimited. He believes in fun. He has no emotion in his life. B ut suddenly a girl that is Kareena Kapoor enters into his life. She brings a change in his life.

What's the story line of the movie?

Nobody knows the subject of Mani Ratnam's film. As far as I know there is Ajay Devgan and Abhishek Bachchan besides me. All the three youths have their own style of life. Suddenly something happens and all the three youths meet and represent the youths ('Yuva').

What's your experience working with Mani Ratnam ?

I feel very proud and lucky that I got an opportunity to work with him. I have learnt many things from him. The way he makes a film is very different from others.

Before Yuva you had acted in Satthiya, which is directed by Saad Ali, who do you find more comfortable to work with?

For me Ali is a friend first then a director. There is no doubt that Saad Ali too learnt direction from Mani sir. I felt very happy working with both of them.

How do you feel working with junior Bachchan?

Maybe we worked together for the first or second time. But we have a very old friendship. During the shoot we did work, then we had fun and in between there was no ego.

What do you say about Kareena Kapoor?

She is a class actress. Every role she played was completely professional.

What's your next film after Yuva?

After Yuva my next film to release is Kyon Ho Gaya Naa. And then will follow Krishna and Pani.

Vivek Oberoi

MOOKHEY FOR VITAL ROLES ONLY

The former Miss World Yukta Mookhey visited Nagaland for the first time in connection with a Miss North East 2004 Beauty Pageant. Soon after the function our correspondent caught her for a brief interview though she ws in a great hurry to rush back to New Delhi for her other engagements. Mookhey said that she would like to visit the Northeast again on her own for enjoying the region's beautiful land. When asked by our correspondent Mookhey said that she certainly welcomed Bollywood offers but she wished the roles to be "something substantial". However, she never thought of or planned joining films during her college days.

How come you decided to visit Nagaland of all places?

I came here in Kohima as a special guest of the Miss North East 2004 Beauty Pageant organized by the Beauty and Aesthetic Society of Nagaland.

Did you visit this state earlier?

No, this is my first visit.

How did you like Nagaland?

It is quite contrasting to see Nagaland and its people after you really visit the land than what one thinks sitting back in the main land.

What are yourimpressions of Nagaland?

I am glad to see that people are so educated and literate here, and the land is so beautiful.

Did you come here with your family?

No, my father is accompanying me during this visit.

Do you have any suggestion for the development of this state?

Nagaland has lots of scope for tourism. I feel that the Ministry of Tourism should take up tourism projects in the state. I desire to visit Nagaland not as guest but on my own and visit the beautiful land of the Nagas and the rest of Northeastern states.

Do you intend to visit Nagaland again and when?

I would love to come back again and that too very soon.

How did you find the Nagaland Pageant as compared to those in other states of India?

The show was a mega event and it was very well managed. I did not find any lapse in any aspect. The public response was good . I found a wonderful crowd. But the region as a whole should try and make effort to take the event into the mainstream of fashion.

What's your concept behind joining Bollywood?

I had never planned to do films but my primary focus is to influence the younger generation. I would be taking on films only if I am offered with good roles -- "something substantial".

AISH: I USE PRODUCTS I ENDORSE

The jet-setting actress Aishwarya Rai was in Mumbai to attend a press conference of a cosmetic company. With her busy schedule she still managed to make an appearance for the brand l'oreal, of which she is the brand Ambassador. We caught up with her there and asked a few questions about what she's up to?

What made you come to this press conference and take time out?

L'oreal has completed 10 years of their existence in India. I have completed one year of association with them and also 10 years of me being a miss world. So all in all, I am not here to unveil a new product line or anything but just to celebrate, to talk to all of you about my association with the brand.

Lots of film stars endorse products, but very few use them. Do you use these products or you are just the face?

I very much use the product I endorse. If you have noticed I don't usually endorse many things. I keep in mind that if I am putting my face or voice for something, my fans, and media everyone is relying on me. So it's a huge responsibility on my shoulders. And I definitely don't want to lose trust of any of my fans or you. And, yes I have used these products and its full marks to l'oreal.

I can see mehndi in your hands, you've just come back from your brother's wedding, how was it? Why didn't you spend some more time with your family?

I wish I did have some more time. But as you know I am too pressed for time. The wedding was great. We had a lot of fun. Though I didn't get enough time to prepare for the wedding as I came straight from Cannes.

Wasn't this your third visit to Cannes, how was it?

Oh, it was terrific. All the three times at Cannes have been different. The first time I was there as an actress of 'Devdas'. The second as a jury member, which was extremely prestigious and this time I was there as a l'oreal brand ambassador. So all the three times it has been very special and enjoyable.

You went to Cannes from your world tour, was it like an extension of the tour?

No. I wouldn't say it was an extension of the world tour. The world tour was fantastic. Though very hectic, but it gave me an opportunity to interact with my fans. It was unbelievable, the number of people who came to see the shows all across the world. Cannes was a commitment and I always enjoy going there.

And now we see you in the promos of 'Kyun Ho Gaya Naa'.. Doesn't it look like a fun film?

I am so happy that this year also you all will see different Aishwarya three times. First of course in 'Kyon Ho Gaya Naa', which is an absolute fun film. Then you will see a completely different me in Rituporno Ghosh's 'Raincoat', which is with Ajay Devgan. And the third release of mine this year will be 'Bride and Prejudice'. So the audience will have one actress in three completely different looks and roles. I am really looking forward to my releases.

RANI CAN HAVE YOU IN SPLITS

An irrepressible blithe spirit, Rani Mukherji can have you in splits with her witty, pithy answers but she also shows some rare spirit in the 'Hum vs Tum' gender debate.

Do you share the sentiment of your 'Hum Tum' song, 'yeh ladkiyan na jaane kyuon ladkon si nahi hoti'?

That's just a song. In 'Yeh ladkiyan' the girl complains that boys wear smelly socks for two days in a row. But my father is a dresser. He is very particular about wearing color co-ordinated clothes. As for wondering why boys are the way they are, my take is different. My family is quite conservative- my brother never took me to parties. As a result the guys I know are also conservative.

Who decides curfew hour in your family?

My dad. The mother appears to be a villain but it is the father who has got her all worked up in the bedroom about keeping tabs on the daughter.

Unlike an only child, you have grown up with your brother Raja. Has that made it easier for you to relate to and understand boys?

Absolutely. Besides that, I also studied in a co-ed school and for me boys are buddies. I am as close to them as my girl friends.

In 'Yuva' your husband Lallan beats you up. But your character continues to root for him. Can you stand physical abuse?

My father has never raised his hand on my mother. Yes, there have been instances when my brother wanted to strangle me but he stopped himself. Even if my father accidentally steps on my toe, he mutters 'Ma' and does a pranam. Like every girl I idolize my father.

How much have men contributed to your growth as an actress?

I have no qualms about saying that men are really fantastic and I love them. No two ways about that. I have learnt so much from my male directors and actors like Shah Rukh, Aamir and Govinda.

Did you ever rue the fact that you were born a Rani and not a Raja?

Never. I am happy being a Rani. Also, I want my first born to be a girl.

Do you feel more vulnerable because you are a woman?

Yes. I don't think women even get a chance to live for themselves.

You don't think men live for their wives and children?

Probably after 40. Till 40, men are naughty. If my dad is loyal to my mom it's because when he married he was 40 and my mom was 20.

So you are looking for someone who is forty plus?

Definitely. My husband will be overwhelmed with the idea of a young wife, he won't be able to peel his eyes off me.

Should a woman accept a man with his faults?

No man is picture perfect. Loving is accepting each other with one's faults.

Is infidelity on the list of forgivable faults?

No. Women (me included) belong to Kali Mata's dynasty. Therefore I will marry only a 40 plus man. Since by then, he will have his fill of fun; he will be loyal to me for the rest of his life.

Priyanka Chopra as a chhoti bahu

Priyanka Chopra may not think of marrying in real life, but Pritish Nandy Communications has made her a chhoti bahu in its 'Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam'. Do you know that that this character was first assigned to Aishwarya Rai. It can be anybody's guess if it is a loss for Aish or a gain for Priyanka. Only time will tell it.

Sallu's regard for Aish

Salman Khan is stated to have recovered from the Aishwarya Rai's shock, but the facts are contrary to it. He has not forgotten her even after years. The recent incident speaks about it. Salman may be involved with Katrina Kaif and might be ready to marry with her soon, but cannot tolerate anyone saying ill of her. Recently, he met with a pretty actress known for maintaining herself even after ten long years in films. She tried to make a fun of the dressing sense of Aish. This angered Salman, and he flared up and told her that she would never match Aish. The actress was stunned. Is Aish listening?
