Teji Bachchan, actress en moeder van Amitabh Bachchan verdwenen op Vrijdag na het lijden aan talrijke gezondheidsproblemen voor bijna een jaar.

De 93 éénjarigen waren bekendst voor het zijn de tweede vrouw van renowned dichter Hindi Harivansh Rai Bachchan. In feite, de dood van zijn eerste vrouw Shyama gestuurd hem in een diepgaande depressie en gebracht op de stemmen in zijn hoofd dat slechts Teji na het vasthaken van hem in 1941 kon afsluiten.

Samen zouden twee uit hun kleine harten en vaak gewonnen brede toejuiching tijdens hun jongere dagen als zingend duo zingen.

Na het verliezen van zijn vader in 2002 op de leeftijd van 96, Amitabh bod afscheid aan zijn moeder bij de Zaterdag van de Grond van de Crematie Juhu, 22 December.

De meesten van Bachchan de familie en de vrienden bezochten hen om hun eerbied te betalen. Twee onwaarschijnlijke frenemies te tonen waren Vivek Oberi (hieronder voorgesteld) en Aamir Khan.

Na onlangs het dichtslaan van het acterenvaardigheden van Amitabh, was de acteur ook kip om onder ogen te zien Bachchan huishouden alleen en omhoog gebeëindigd slepend zijn vrouw om zijn deelneming te betalen. Vivek, enerzijds, was ballsy genoeg om de begrafenis bij te wonen, misschien ruilend een paar blikken met zijn ex, Aishwarya Rai.

Op het scherm dat is!

Het recentst in het eeuwigdurende hoofdstuk van Kareena/Shahid de saga is dat het vroegere paar hun meest romantische film zien zal die samen op Valentines Dag wordt vrijgegeven. U kreeg om het aan de directeur voor zijn betekenis van humeur te overhandigen of bent het sarcasme?

Na lange tijd etikettering een fiasco „Milenge Milenge“ werd verlaten door de bemanning maar blijkbaar, Jab die wij zijn samengekomen' heeft het s onverwachte succes het project gedaan opleven. Dat OF de knappe poging van de directeur in het melken van hun verbreken voor elk nikkel kan hij!

“Perhaps it was destined that the most romantic film featuring Shahid and Kareena would come only after their relationship is over,” says producer Boney Kapoor.

However, the rumor mill is abuzz that the lead pair is not interested in dubbing. Nonetheless director Satish Kaushik isn’t giving up hope yet.  “Milenge Milenge is not at all dated. And why should Shahid and Kareena have any problems dubbing it?”

“In fact Shahid lives in my building. I’ve asked him about the dubbing and he’s fine by it. And Kareena I’ve known since she came into the industry. I gave her first big hit ‘Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai’.” Hmm wonder if they’ll promote the film together? :)

Aamir Khan and his father Tahir Hussain have finally bridged their differences after a nasty legal battle that isolated Aamir from his brother. You may remember Faisal Khan, 41, who suffers from periodic lapses into schizo-affective psychosis, recently ran away from Aamir’s house and had the Khans worrying sick about his disappearance.

However, much to their surprise, Faisal teamed up with his father and launched a public attack on Aamir. Their shocking allegations provoked a ferocious legal battle which resulted in a court granting custody to Tahir Hussian.

A week before Aamir’s directional winner Taare Zameen Par was set to release, his father found himself eating his words. Knowing where his bread and butter lay, the man quickly sent Faisal packing to Aamir’s house.

“That’s a thing of the past now. I agree that there were certain misunderstandings but not anymore. We are all one now. I love all my children equally and I am proud of the fact that Aamir has worked hard for his success and deserves all his achievements,” said Tahir.

Glad to have his father back in his life, the Bollywood superstar arranged a special screening of Taare Zameen Par for his father.

Asked to comment on the film, Tahir says: “It’s a very sensitive film and it makes you cry and it makes you laugh. The child protagonist is very good and the subject has been handled very sensibly.” 

“Aamir, as usual, was very good in the film but even the other actors have played their part very well. I told Aamir that I am very proud of him. Now Aamir should direct another big film. I am always with him. We only want our family to be together always.”

Translation: I am thrilled to have my meal ticket back!

Looking nothing short of fierce, Shahrukh Khan’s leading lady, Gauri graces the new cover of the Indian edition of Vogue. Here are some snippets from her interview:

On her style: “I hate tight, revealing clothes. What I wear really depends on my mood and I always keep in mind that I am the wife of a very successful man.”

On being married to Shahrukh Khan: “He is the best husband and father I could ever ask for. I always say that I am so fortunate to be with Shahrukh Khan, the man. I don’t come from a space where I gush and praise - the world is doing enough of that. I like to keep my love for him private and inside the doors of Mannat.”

On posing for the fashion bible: “This is not my profession. It has to be something really new and unusual to make me want to do something like this. I did enjoy the shoot but to be honest, I wouldn”t do it very often.”

Shahid & Sania: Hot New Couple Or One Night Makeout Session?

December 13, 07 by Ballz Bollywood!



Shahid-Kapoor

If Shahid Kapoor is still grieving about his split with Kareena, he certainly is doing a good job hiding it! The heartbroken actor is back and banging…literally! Two reporters of Mumbai’s local tabloid Mid-Day swear to have seen him cozying up to tennis star Sania Mirza in Bangalore.

“Yes, we did meet over dinner on Tuesday night, but we were in a group. My friend Shriram and a couple more friends were with us. We had dinner at the hotel I am staying in and people must have seen her entering,” admits Shahid.

“That’s how people must have thought we had something romantic happening. After dinner, Sania went back and Shriram and I spent the night catching up on our lives in my room.”

Sania-Mirza

But the ever-present bellboy had a slightly different version. According to him "Sania went to Shahid’s room, 3044, on the third floor, after dinner on Tuesday." Soon after, Shriram headed home to give the two a little privacy. A prying guest who stayed across Shahid’s room also confirmed he saw a ‘Don’t disturb’ card dangling from the doorknob."

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what went on behind closed doors. But only time will tell if Shahid is ready to embark on a new relationship or if the panty-flashing star was nothing more than a booty call!
