Shilpa Shirodkar makes a comeback through the small screen

Many might have even forgotten the name Shilpa Shirodkar in the entertainment industry. She will however be seen making a comeback on the small screen. She will make a return through a local entertainment Marathi channel in Maharashtra, India. The title of the show is Bole To Malamaal.

But how did Shilpa Shirodkar come in the limelight? Who remembered this forgotten lady of yesteryears? It was the daughter of the Union Minister for Power Sushil Kumar Shinde, Smriti Shinde. Smriti has roped in Shilpa for the show.

Shilpa Shirodkar was seen in films like Mritiyudand and Khuda Gawah. However, after her marriage to one businessman, she literally left the entertainment industry. She went into oblivion and forgetfulness.

As far as the show is concerned, it is being rumored that, Smirti Shinde got the approval by influencing the channel through her father. However, according to Smriti her father came to know about the show only when she told him about the developments.

All is not well with Govinda’s daughter Narmada Ahuja

The daughter of ace comedian of Bollywood Govinda, Narmada Ahuja is quite troubled these days. No, it is not because her film is not doing well. The film is to be released actually. But the real reason is different. As a matter of fact, her first film is seeing a dead end.

Her debut film, titled Manchali, does not see a release date yet. There are some problems which is stopping the film from being released. Narmada Ahuja stars opposite Olympic medalist boxer Vijender Singh. It was also rumored that her father, Govinda and his fast friend Salman Khan would do guest appearances in the film.

Some weeks before, Vijender Singh got married with Archana Singh. Now that he got married, there are questions being raised if at all he will be in the lead or not. Apart from his changed marital status, the pro boxer has his boxing schedules set as well. So there are serious questions being raised over his availability for the film.

If one goes by Narmada’s statements, then she was not even aware that Vijender was getting married at all. According to her, she heard the news through the media. After this, it seems she is really upset.

Asin is short of a close friend in Bollywood

The south beauty Asin Thottumkal has done films in Bollywood with actors like Ajay Devgan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan – with Salman being her latest hero in the film Ready. She is also awaiting her forthcoming release Housefull 2 with Akshay Kumar. In spite of all this, Asin says that she does not have any close friend in Bollywood yet.

But what makes her think this when she has got the chance to work with so many renowned, famous and popular actors? Well, when we are asking this question, we are confusing the professional life with personal life. This is exactly what Asin has sorted out. She knows better than us where to draw the line.

As a matter of fact, almost all the actors she has worked with are seniors to her. Asin is just 26 years old while all the other actors are senior to her by around 15 years at least. That is why she has a lot of respect for them and holds them in high esteem.

Secondly, Asin feels that it takes a lot of time and efforts to build in a relationship which can be addressed as close friends.

In the meantime, Asin has been linked with Bollywood actor Neil Ninin Mukesh. Or let us say it has been vice versa. However, Neil has come forward to deny all the baseless news, terming them as rumors.

John Abraham is a great ‘mathematician’

If you get surprised by knowing that Bipasha Basu’s ex boyfriend John Abraham is a great ‘mathematician’, then you will be. After all, he has all to do with numbers. Those who are close to him know this truth about John that it is not new to him at all.
So which formulae has John invented to give him a tag of a ‘great mathematician’? Well, he has nothing to do with any formula. All the actor can give you at the tip of his tongue are the various numbers which he needs to keep with him. So, what are these numbers after all?
Well, they are phone or mobile numbers, birthdays of his close ones, the dates of the anniversaries. Why that, he even remembers the numbers on car number plates. Seriously speaking, John has always been interested in various calculations since his early corporate days, a close source of his reveals.
What do you think, is this a plus point for him or will this ability come back to haunt him. Now that he is single, he will remember Bipasha’s mobile number, the anniversaries he spent with her and even her birthday.
Take care John, these might not hurt you!

Sanjay Dutt to play Baba Ramdev in his next film

According to the latest reports Sanjay Dutt is slated to play yog-guru Baba Ramdev. Director Mani Shankar, who is close to Swami Ramdev, has decided to make a film on his crusade. Mani Shankar is totally impressed the way Baba Ramdev is handling the corruption issue with the fast-unto-death decision.

According to the latest reports, the director will also include the Saturday midnight drama that took place at the Ramlila ground in Delhi. Mani Shankar is now busy studying the ins and outs of the current situation. It seems that the director is going to lift up every possible detail that is available for him.

It is not the first time that Mani Shankar is playing with the idea of making a film being inspired by Baba Ramdev. Earlier, he had made a film titled Knock Out which had the core subject of the black money stashed away in foreign banks.

But as far as the role of Swami Ramdev is concerned, it is yet not clear if Sanju Baba will play Ramdev Baba. But Mani Shankar wants Sanjay Dutt to play the role of the yog-guru from the bottom of his heart. Mani believes that Sanjay Dutt will never refuse a role offered by him.

Katrina Kaif rejects ad offer from a ketchup company

Katrina Kaif had to a fat offer to endorse a ketchup brand from a leading company. However, much to the surprise of the company, Katrina Kaif turned down the offer in the best polite way possible. But what was the reason for Kat to turn down such a hefty offer? She could have easily got some fast and easy money.
The company wanted Katrina to endorse their brand as they think she is the one who can connect with the small kids faster than anyone else. Kids and small children are the main target of the company. That is the reason why they wanted to rope in Katrina Kaif at a huge price.
But little did they know that she would say no to the offer. But what made Kat say no after? Well, she can hardly bear tomatoes. It is not clear if it would mean to say that she is allergic to the fruit. But whatever she had done for the shooting of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was more than enough for Katrina.
The company was to sign a three-year contract with Katrina. But now they will have to scour for another brand ambassador.

Tiger Shroff on the prowl in Bollywood

Tiger Shroff, the son of Jackie Shroff is on the verge of making his Bollywood debut. In fact, there is a beeline for Tiger Shroff. Unlike the newcomers who get a helping hand from their seniors or kins in the business, the same is not the case with Tiger Shroff.
You may recall that Katrina Kaif is making efforts to launch her sister Isabella. For that, it was heard, she was ready to produce a film all by herself. Even Govinda was ready to turn producer for his daughter Narmada. After all, if the seniors are in the film industry, why won’t they help their own family members?
However, the same does not seem to be the case with Jackie and his son. In fact, the likes of Abbas Mustan, Ritesh Sidhwani and even the Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan are seriously thinking of launching Tiger.
If we go back to the days of Jackie’s debut, one would remember that it was Subhash Ghai who had launched the Sr. Shroff. Would he repeat history this time around?
Well, time has the answer.

Cameron Diaz defines marriage as insignificant

Exactly opposite the Indian culture, actress Cameron Diaz thinks that the marriage institution is not at all important in her eyes. If on one hand there is the entire world thinking and believing in marriages, Cameron is one woman who ignores the very idea of marriage for her own self.

Allu Arjun all praises for Bala

Allu Arjun, one of the top-notch heroes in Tollywood who is awe-struck after watching Bala's 'Avan Iva's Telugu make 'Vaadu Veedu's trailer at the movie's audio launch.

The star is always known for the open praises he doesn't hesitate to make after he watches a Kollywood flick and has many-a-times expressed his wish to work in K-town. He had also earlier expressed his desire to work with some of the leading directors in our industry and now after watching the trailer of the Telugu version of 'Vaadu Veedu,' he is all praises for Bala and become a fan of the latter!

We aren't surprised though, for there are only a few who cannot appreciate an initiative by Bala and his unique scripts and character portrayals remain etched in the hearts rather than the minds of the audience.

Allu Arjun even went to request Bala to direct films in Telugu and expressed his desire to work under this ace director.

The hero is known for his hard work among Tollywood folks, his dance movements have been trend-setters in the country and his stunt sequences and performance-oriented scenes have always been received well.

With Vishal having been a mass hero doing commercial projects before 'Avan Ivan,' and Allu Arjun on the same note in Tollywood, can we watch a Bala-Allu Arjun flick in the coming days? We'd sure love to, but only time will tell the tale.

Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra to have on-screen romance

Tweet

Not all is well between Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. The stories of their breakups and settling things and breaking up and then again settling things up has become a regular affair. They have hardly managed to keep things on track. But when they were going steady and seeing each other, Kunal Kohli signed them for his next film.

No doubt, he had made a good choice of getting the pair for the lead as they were dating in real life too. However, calamity struck Kohli even before the shooting of the film had started. (As usual) Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra saw their relation again hitting the rocks. Kohli wonders what will happen to his film.

However, he believes in the professionalism of both the actors. They do give a good shot when before the camera. But the situation is not too good on the sets once the shooting stops.

A source reveals that there is tension for sure. Both Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra have almost zero interaction between them when they are giving the shots. Once any specific shot is over, they turn a blind eye towards each other. There is such a great amount of hatred towards each other that none of them rehearses with each other.

The results may not be too good for the film. We just pray for the best!

After the split of Bipasha Basu and John Abraham, there were lots of news items circulating in the media about them. But it was particularly Bipasha who was constantly in the news.

However, there was nothing from John’s side so to speak of. But, it does not mean that John Abraham will be left behind. Even he has moved on. Actually, it seems, the breakup hardly mattered to him as he was too busy with his work and hardly got any free time on his hands.
But it was been noticed that he is now bonding with a little-known girl. Who the girl is, is not too firmly known. The only two things that have been known of this mystery girl are that she is an upcoming model and that her name is Priya. The two have been bonding well of late.
Hanging out for a cup of coffee is a regular business for them now. They have also been spotted at restaurants as well.
