New pictures have surfaced showing Hrithik Roshan continuing his campaign for John Players.
The hunky 34-year-old actor first signed on with the clothing brand in 2005 and it looks like they have no plans of letting him go!
Clad in an electric blue ghaghra choli with gold work, diamonds and red stones, Bipasha Basu pocketed over $200 000 for her performance at the JW Marriott in Mumbai on New Year’s Eve. During the big show, the Bollywood lustress donned three outfits designed by Rocky S while guests sipped on a special cocktail named after her.
Tanushree Dutta & Koena Mitra were paid thousands of dollars to help count down to the new year. Former Miss World Yukta *remember her* Mookhey also dropped by to help the festive twosome celebrate.
Other performers to set tongues wagging were Neha Dhupa (in Ahmedabad) and hot mama Malaika Arora’s hip-gyrating performance in the country’s capital, New Delhi.
Similar to Hollywood, being the child/sibling of a celebrity can be a fast pass to a hot Bollywood career - just ask Katarina Kaif! Her 16-year-old sister, Isabella, is itching to get in front of the camera and Katarina is doing all in her power to push her into the limelight.
From attending casual dos together to hitting up Bollywood hotspots, Isabella is chained to her sister and it appears to be paying off! Director Raj Kanwar, who cast Katarina in his film Humko Deewana Kar Gaye, caught a glimpse of the girl and offered her a role in his movie, but the Kaif’s demurred.
Katarina, however, heard him out but is now said to be avoiding him like the plague! She feels her sister deserves better. Uhuh. Pictured above is Katarina, her fame starved sister and mother, Sussanne.
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.”
The always chirpy Preity Zinta has found herself feeling unusually low while filming for Deepa Metha’s ‘Heaven On Earth.’ The film is a real-life story of a battered Punjabi wife who bore years of domestic violence. After making a documentary on her harrowing tale, director Mehta decided to turn the story into a film and was hell bent on Preity playing the lead role.
Soon after, Preity was whisked away to Toronto where she began filming for the Punjabi/English flick. Quickly settled into her role, the vivacious actress is now having a hard time snapping out of character and often finds herself in desperate need of some mommy love!
In fact, things had gotten so bad that Mama Zinta was forced to hop on a flight to Toronto. “It was mom’s birthday on November 30, so she came over with my brother and niece for two days. That really helped me to re-connect with my real life, to appreciate how lucky I am to have a career without losing out on my family,” says Preity.
“I am in an alien environment, shooting a bleak life with a crew and way of working that’s totally new to me. Here I am no star, just a member of the cast. Saturdays and Sundays are off. But I can’t snap out of the character. I just sit in my hotel pouring over my lines,” sighed Preity.
For more pictures of Preity looking a lot happier than she sounds,
