Chalo faraz ab ishq ka maza chukkhain

Tamam dawain buchoun ki pohonch say door rakkhain

Tum say milnay ki faraz ab kya justujo karain

Tabiat ziada kharab ho to doctor say rujou karain

Hamari chahat ka faraz kuch to khayal kar

Dawai ko achi tarha hila kar istemal kar

Dil mera toot gaya uthi jab oos ki doli

Subha dopaher sham ek ek goli

Faraz wo ishq karnay pe razamand hay

Jumay kay din clinic band hay.

Shahrukh Khan craze catches up in China

From Berlin to Beijing, the world’s certainly becoming a smaller place for Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan. 

Presently shooting Farhan Akhtar’s film Don 2 in Berlin, Shahrukh will now head to Beijing in China for the premiere of his film My Name Is Khan that had the worldwide release earlier this year. 

China has a very strict policy toward foreign films. Every year, just 20 foreign films get released in the country. This year, My Name Is Khan has the honour of being one of them. It’s also the first Hindi film to release in China in the last three decades. So the honour is all the more special. 

Reports say the film will be premiered in Beijing on November 30. DirectorKaran Johar and Shahrukh Khan are most certain to visit, but it’s unsure ifKajol, the film’s female lead, would join them. 

We also hear that Karan Johar will himself design SRK’s costume which will be a mix of Indian and Chinese style. 

Deepika signed for ‘Race 2′

Bollywood beauty and sexy actress Deepika Padukone is the girl to watch out for in 2011. She is fast leaving the other Bollywood beauties behind in the race for super stardom.

Ramesh Taurani producer of Race 2 has confirmed that Deepika will be in the main lead opposite Saif in Race 2. Guess Priyanka Chopra has lost out on this one too.

Now there is scope for PC to try and get back into this film if she wants because there’s a role for a second girl. However Sonakshi Sinha is also waiting in queue.

Republican & Democrat

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "Everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. Plus, you're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow now it's my fault!"

Katrina: From Barbie to Radha

Till yesterday, she was a Barbie girl, in her Barbie world. And yes, life in plastic is fantastic. But now, Katrina Kaif is all set for a rather interesting makeover. She will play a cameo as Radha in a film on the life of Lord Krishna. 

Though Kat did dress up like a mythological figure in the song Main bararish kar doon paise ki in the film De Dana Dan, playing Radha will be an entirely new experience for the actress. 

The film called Main Krishna Hoon will be on the life of Lord Krishna, starting from his childhood Leelas (pranks) up to adulthood. The film is being directed by Rajiv S Ruia of My Friend Ganesha fame. 

Not revealing much about the plot, Katrina says, "Let it be a secret. But yes, I am doing this film on the life of Lord Krishna because my hairstylist Promila Hunter is producing the film. When she asked me if I would make an appearance I didn't even ask her what my role was. Only later did I get to know that it is a film on the life of Lord Krishna." 

Though she makes a guest appearance, Katrina who is currently in Patiala shooting for a Yash Raj film, is busy preparing for it. She is using all her free time to read up on the life of Lord Krishna. 

Says the actress, "It always helps to know about areas of culture that you haven't visited. A role could just be an excuse to brush up your knowledge of life outside the entertainment industry." 

Wonder who's playing Krishna.

Salman Khan says ‘thank you’ to Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar has loosened his purse strings by donating a substantial amount of money to the ‘Being Human’ charity run by Salman Khan. 

Akshay and Salman were recently seen bonding on the sets of Tees Maar Khan and now the friendship between them has only got thicker. Akshay has donated a whopping amount of Rs. 50 lakh to ‘Being Human’, evoking a gesture of gratitude from Salman. 

“Yeah !!! Akshay Kumar has donated 50 lakhs to Being Human, our charitable trust. Thank you Akki . I think everybody should tweet and thank him,” Salman wrote on his Twitter page. 

The buzz is that Akshay will donate more money to ‘Being Human’ before the year ends. 

Earlier this month, a lot of actresses from Bollywood walked the ramp for Salman’s ‘Being Human’ fashion show during the HDIL Couture Week. 

When it comes to charity, the film stars sure do show alacrity.

Vivek Oberoi pens poetry

Vivek Oberoi shayar toh nahin. But ever since he fell in love with his fiancée and wife-to-soon-be Priyanka Alva, Vivek ko shayari aa gayi. 

See, what love does to a person. Vivek Oberoi, who’s seen playing the angry young man more often than not on the silver screen, has been penning poetry for Priyanka, whom he will marry on October 29. 

Vivek has written a poem for Priyanka which goes: “In a world of only two people who are each other's world...” 

In fact, when Vivek talks about Priyanka, the words that come from his mouth are poetic, to say the least. 

Sample this. 

“Every day with her (Priyanka) is a blessing. In a world full of storms, she's my anchor. I live in a world of masks. I needed someone as real as she is. She is my home. She's the one I can come home to. She has changed my life,” Vivek says. 

Wah! Vivek.

Shahrukh Khan mania takes over Berlin as he films for Don 2

The King Khan of Bollywood has begun filming for his latest action-thriller Don 2 in Berlin. Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Lara Duttaand Farhan Akhtar are in Germany for the filming of the movie and they are in love with Berlin. 

Shahrukh has quite a following in Germany, to add to that his fans have descended on the town of Berlin, to catch a glimpse of their favourite star, prompting Shahrukh to joke, "You will have problems getting rid of all the Indians again." 

Billed as an Indo-Germain production Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg is financially supporting Don 2, and Shahrukh hopes that Don 2 will begin a new love affair between Bollywood and Berlin, and encourage millions of Indians to visit the beautiful city. 

In the movie, Shahrukh Khan’s character, the elusive don, will be wanted by the police of 132 countries, against the 11 countries in the first film. The sequel retains its original cast of Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani, and includes some new names like Lara Dutta, Sameera Reddy and Kunal Kapoor. 

'Don 2' will have deadlier stunts and chases than 'Don', featuring famous Berlin landmarks, including the great Cathedral, and a car chase through the streets of Berlin around Checkpoint Charley. After filming a scene at a building near Berlin’s TV tower, Shahrukh had tweeted, "Just did an over 300 feet base jump for Don... because you all make me believe I can fly," 

The film will release in 2011.

Vivek Oberoi’s acting in 'Rakta Charitra' scares wife-to-be

Vivek Oberoi is all set to wed on October 29 and in the run-up to the great day ahead, he had the time to show his latest film Rakta Charitra to the wife-to-be Priyanka Alva. 

And what exactly was her reaction after seeing Vivek slice throats with sickle and gun down people without as much as a flinch? 

“Yes, I have shown the film to her. She took a deep breath, looked at me and said, ‘You are brilliant.’ Then she took another deep breath and remarked, ‘I hope I never see you this angry in real life’,” Oberoi is quoted as saying in an interview. 

Meanwhile, Vivek revealed that he and his fiancée have already started planning their home together.

Shahrukh Khan celebrates his 20th wedding anniversary today

Today is Shahrukh Khan’s 20th wedding anniversary, but the star will celebrate it all by himself. 

SRK married his longtime girlfriend Gauri Chibber on 25 October 1991 when none of his movies were released. But on the completion of two decades of married life today, SRK is busy shooting in Berlin, Germany, for his film Don 2 and his dear wifey is in Mumbai. After all, work is work. 

Nevertheless, Gauri will make her 20th anniversary special by celebrating it later on November 2 that is also SRK’s birthday. As a source tells a daily, Gauri and kids will join SRK in Italy where he will attend the screening of My Name Is Khan at a film festival. Friend and family Karan Johar is supposed to be there. So, the party will supposedly be big. 

Gauri is also famous for throwing lavish parties in the industry, and how can the lady let such an important occasion go by. 

Wishing Shahrukh and Gauri a very happy 20th anniversary!

Dreams

1. The most vivid and "realistic" dreaming occurs in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is concentrated more in the second half of the night. While some dream activity does occur during deep (or slow wave) sleep as well, it is much less formed and structured, and recall of the content of those dreams is much more limited.
2. In REM sleep, there is loss of almost all muscle tone, except for the diaphragm and eye muscles. This explains why it is very common for people to describe feeling paralyzed and unable to move while dreaming of a stressful situation (such as being chased).
3. That being said, there is a rare condition known as REM behavior disorder in which people violently act out their dreams, often to the point of causing injure to themselves and/or their bed partners. This is mostly seen in older men, and can be a harbinger of degenerative neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease.

Bigg Boss fails to tempt Kelly Brook

British model, actress and swimwear designer Kelly Brook has turned down a tempting 250,000 pounds offer to appear on the Indian television show Bigg Boss 4 which is slated to go on air from October 3. 

Apparently the bosses at ‘Bigg Boss’ are aiming for high TRPs and that is why they wanted an international female star. Kelly Brook obviously fitted the bill. 

However, Kelly is already busy with a slew of professional commitments and turned down the offer. 

“Kelly is putting all her efforts into her film career and could not commit to the show. She was flattered by the interest,” the Sun quoted a source as saying. 

Reportedly, ‘Bigg Boss’ has also tried to woo Pamela Anderson but without any success.

Box office update

Three films releasing on the same day are most likely to eat into each other’s business. But there’s not much to bite into, if the reports of the opening day collections are to go by. 

Rakta Charitra, Ram Gopal Varma’s most violent film to date, had an excellent start in Andhra Pradesh. The film’s Telugu version is running to house-full shows, and the reason could be that the film is based on the story of the bloody rise to power of the Andhra politico Paritala Ravi, played by Vivek Oberoi in the film. In the north, however, Rakta Charitra (Hindi) got a below average response from cine buffs, with mere 25 to 30 percent occupancy in theatres. 

In comparison, Jhootha Hi Sahi, starring John Abraham and Pakhi, had a better start with about 35 to 40 percent occupancy, but the mixed reviews it has got from critics isn’t going to help it pick up much in the days ahead. 

On the other hand, Mallika Sherawat’s Hisss, which has been unanimously panned by every critic, had a good start at single screen theatres. But the bad reviews and negative word of mouth might slow its run at box office. 

Both Jhootha Hi Sahi and Hisss have got a poor start at the UK box office. 

Which of the three films will sail and which will sink at box office will be clearer by Monday.

My wedding would be grand: Vivek Oberoi

October 29 is the day when actor Vivek Oberoi will tie the knot with the Bangalore girl Priyanka Alva. He says his wedding would be a grand affair. 

“The wedding will be grand but a very private affair followed by a reception in Mumbai with family and friends attending,” Vivek told a news agency. 

However, the groom-to-be has not even started doing shopping for his wedding. 

“I am so preoccupied with Rakta Charitra that I did not do any shopping for my marriage. Now my family is taking care of that. I will soon be a married man but the feeling is yet to sink in,” Vivek added. 

Incidentally, Vivek is so tied up with the promotion of the film, that he’ll also postpone his honeymoon. And when he explained his reasons for doing so to Priyanka, she did not complain. 

“Priyanka has been very understanding and supportive. It is very unusual for a bride to be this practical and understanding about my career. She is really a lovely girl and means a lot to me. I thank Karnataka for giving me their most beautiful daughter,” Vivek said. 

Incidentally, when Vivek visited Bangalore to promote the film, he was referred to as Karnataka ka damaad.

Kindgom Holding to build world's tallest tower

Saudi-based Kingdom Holding Company plans to build the world's tallest tower as part of a project worth 75 billion riyals in the city of Jeddah, a newspaper report said on Thursday.

Alsharq Al-Awsat newspaper, citing Kingdom's Chairman Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, said the company will officially announce the project at a press conference in three weeks.

The skyscraper will be at the centre of the mixed-use project, which will stretch over 3.5 million square metres of land, the newspaper added.

It also said Kingdom Holding plans another development in the capital city of Riyadh with an estimated investment value of 25 billion riyals. It will include a park, a hotel and other entertainment elements, as well as 10,000 residential units.

Kingdom Holding, the investment firm of the Saudi billionaire prince, posted a 52.6 per cent rise in third-quarter earnings on Monday, driven by higher investment returns.

Kingdom, 95-per cent owned by the nephew of Saudi ruler King Abdullah, has stakes in some of the world's top companies the most valuable of which is Citigroup.

The world's tallest building at present is Dubai's 828-metre Burj Khalifa, developed by Emaar Properties.

9-year-old Emirati clears IELTS exam

A nine-year-old Emirati becomes the youngest child to clear the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam.

IELTS is the world's leading assessment of English communicative ability required especially for higher education, immigration and employment.

Mohammed Salih Al Amri, studying if Grade five in Liwa Private School, Al Ain, scored 5.5 points, reported Al Ittihad newspaper.

Fouad Charlie Estaiban, Director of IELTS Center of the admission requirements unit at the UAE University, said: "This is an unprecedented global achievement by a child to obtain such an international certificate."

The center has encountered some difficulties in awarding the certificate to the child, because of his age. And the procedures required some amendements before Al Amri was honoured for his acheivement.

Charlie said: A score of 5.5 is incredible, as students applying for medical and engineering colleges manage to score only up to 5 points and the admission requirement to arts colleges is 4.5."

He could recite some parts of the Holy Quran when he was just two years, said the boy's father and added that he was excellent at school, too.

Kaun Banega Crorepati doing better than ‘Bigg Boss’

In the year 2000 when Kaun Banega Crorepati started with Amitabh Bachchan as its host, it changed the way Indian audience watched television. The show was a huge hit and, now after ten years, its fourth season has proved that no other reality show is like it. The ‘KBC 4’ viewership figures are quite high than the Salman Khan-hosted ‘Bigg Boss 4’ and Akshay Kumar’s Master Chef. 

Going by the opening, the first day of KBC 4 topped the list of best opening shows with 6.2 TVRs (television viewership ratings). Earlier, the record of best opening was with Khatron Ke Khiladi 3 which had Priyanka Chopra as the host. If Bigg Boss 4 had an opening of 4.8 TVRs, the Akshay Kumar showMaster Chef on Star Plus managed only 2.6 rating. Channel Sony Entertainment which owns KBC 4 claims that their show has got the most successful launch in recent times on Indian television. 

There is no doubt that the audience loves every moment of KBC 4. The towering baritone of Amitabh Bachchan, his eloquence, and his unique style of presentation ensure a better quality Indian television in comparison to the otherwise low-grade reality shows which are rampant nowadays, and one such show is Rakhi Sawant’s Rakhi Ka Insaaf which was pitted against Akshay’s Master Chef. 

As a tabloid reports, every third Indian likes to watch KBC during prime time, with the show carrying a 32 per cent reach in the four episodes of its first week run. The show’s first week average of 5.3 TVRs is also the highest for any non-fiction show recorded over the last year.

Mallika Sherawat’s ‘Hisss’ not releasing in the US

After making us wait for almost a year, and with much anticipation,Mallika Sherawat starrer Hisss is finally releasing on 22 October. But surprisingly this release date is only for India and not for US. Hisss will release in the US next year and the reason for it is that the movie needs to be promoted well in the west. 

Isn’t it shocking, as Mallika spent almost a year in LA and one of the prime reasons for her stay was also the Hisss promotion? The movie was expected to release worldwide on October 22, but the co-producer of the film Govind Menon tells a tabloid that the English version will release in January 2011. 

“We are not releasing it across USA now as we are building up the film a bit… Many Hollywood films don’t release on the same day across the world. There is some serious promotional work left for us to do,” Menon is quoted as saying. 

Directed by Jennifer Lynch, Hisss is releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu this week, while the Malayalam one will come next week. In fact, its international version with subtitles will also release in Malaysia, Australia, UK, Fiji, New Zealand and South Africa the same week. According to Menon this is phase I for Hisss and phase 2 will see its grand release in Hollywood. 

As for now Mallika is measuring the length and breadth of the country to promote Hisss.

At 68, Amitabh Bachchan does his own stunt

Amitabh Bachchan can be adamant at times. Filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi is discovering this while filming Power with the super star. 

At the age of 68, when the bones, marrows and cartilage are wearing thin, any actor would prefer to not strain his body for fear of causing some permanent damage. But no such apprehensions for Big B. 

This came to light during the shooting of Santoshi’s film Power. The director had roped in a body double to do stunts for Big B. The idea was to keep the body double on standby and let him step in quietly when the stunts were to be shot. 

However, Big B knew of Santoshi’s plan and wouldn’t let a body double step in. 

“Amitji tricked us. He continued doing the stunt and went further than he was supposed to,” Santoshi is quoted to have said. 

Santoshi isn’t revealing anything about the ‘dangerous’ stunt that Big B has pulled off. He says people will see it when Power releases.

Ali Zafar saves Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif might have ended up getting seriously injured on the sets of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan had Pakistani singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar not acted in time. 

Reportedly, Katrina stood very close to a pedestal fan and her hairs were pulled in and got stuck. Seeing this, Zafar jumped to her rescue and in the process of untangling her hair even suffered a few bruises himself. We hear that a spot boy was also injured in the incident. 

While Zafar tried to play down his heroism, Katrina felt gratitude towards him after the mishap was averted. So as a gesture of thanking him, she went ahead and gave him a warm hug. 

The spot boy, however, wasn’t so lucky, we hear. 

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is being shot in the Punjab town of Nabha. The movie stars Imran Khan opposite Katrina. Ali Zafar, who debuted in Tere Bin Laden plays Imran’s brother.

Akshay Kumar puts home chefs to the test

How about a couple of amateur cooks catering to a real big fat Indian wedding in record time? How about whipping up a recipe under extreme conditions? How about amateur chefs catering to a wedding? All of this and more is dealt with on a new television show beginning today.

On MasterChef India, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar return to his past as a chef, getting ordinary people to pass the litmus test in cooking new recipes and managing extreme situations. The programme airs on Star Plus at 9pm UAE time tonight and has been described as a platform to acknowledge and encourage the culinary skills of passionate cooks and groom them to become the ultimate professionals of the art.

As of Saturday, the show will identify 12 contestants who will compete with each other, with Kumar joined by chefs Kunal Kapoor and Ajay Chopra to judge their efforts.

It is the first time the popular show is being recreated for Indian audiences. The show has already broken ratings’ records in the UK, where it features Michelin-star chef Michel Roux.

“Bringing the format to South Asian viewers, where diverse cuisines exist, was only a natural choice. With Akshay Kumar at the fore and larger-than-life cooking challenges we hope to unearth the best talent with this show,” says Sumo Dutta, Country Head for Star Middle East, Pakistan and Africa.

Kumar, who worked as a chef in Thailand before he became an actor, said: “I am very happy to be returning to my roots after so many years. My two favourites – cooking and camera or entertainment are coming together and I am excited to be a part of it.”

Sonam Kapoor’s illness costs producer a bomb!

An illness is something no one can do anything about. But when an actor falls ill, it surely does burn a hole in the producer’s pocket. 

Sonam Kapoor fell ill in the middle of her schedule for actor-turned-director Pankaj Kapur’s film Mausum, throwing the film’s shoot off track. Meanwhile, a set that had been erected in Mumbai at the cost of Rs. 75 lakh had to be eventually brought down. 

Sonam and Shahid were supposed to shoot a few romantic scenes there. But Sonam took to bed with typhoid and the shoot was stalled. 

Now that Sonam is well again, she will shoot for the film in Gwalior. The Mumbai schedule will he held later on.
