мариша: спасибо большое за статьи было очень интересно!
wichy: отсюда - интервью с Сонам в честь ее дня варенья. • What are you doing on your birthday? Last year, on my birthday I was shooting for Saawariya. And this time I’m shooting for Dilli 6. • Since you seem to be doing some of the most prestigious projects, do you have any regrets about missing out on Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi? When was it ever mine for me to miss out on it? Adi wanted to meet, so we met. He never mentioned Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. He was very clear that he wanted a new face for it. I’ve already played the simple Indian girl (in Saawariya and Dilli 6) and besides that even my dates for Dilli 6 clashed with Adi’s project. Since I wasn’t denying or accepting that I have been offered that role, everyone jumped to their own conclusions. I even got congratulatory messages when I was holidaying in New York. • So what kind of roles are you looking for? I’m being extremely picky because I can afford to be so. I won’t play secondary roles for sure. I would like to take up something that I can relate to. Both my roles in Saawariya and Dilli 6 are different from each another. The only similarity is that both the directors Sanjay Bhansali and Rakeysh Mehra pampered me silly. • But there’re stories of how Rakeysh bullied you. What nonsense! Rakeysh is a lamb. He is incapable of screaming at anyone. We get along like house on fire. I instinctively understand how he wants me to do a shot. We don’t even have to say anything to each other. Abhishek, Rakeysh and I had so much fun while shooting for Dilli 6. • How was your bonding with Abhishek? He’s tall enough to suit me on screen (laughs). It was different during Saawariya as my relationship with Ranbir was casual as we are childhood friends. However, with Abhishek, I was a thorough professional. He made suggestions gently and if he wanted to make a point, he said it as a joke to avoid any offence. We are on the same wave length and we both love junk food. He would keep digging into my cookies and then blame me for his weight gain. • You mean he gave you tips on acting? He has done 35 films, which he keeps reminding me all the time. Besides that, we are from similar backgrounds, both of us have studied abroad and we both have been brought up in Juhu. He also keeps reminding me that he was born in a house opposite mine, which was neither Jalsa nor Prateeksha but an earlier place they lived in. And although he’s ten years older than me, we get along very well. • You seem really impressed. Yes. I was bowled over by both Abhishek and Aishwarya. Aishwarya is so beautiful, it’s scary. No one has the right to be so lovely. And the other beauty who leaves me open-mouthed is Waheedaji. I’m so privileged to work with her in Dilli 6. In fact working with the likes of Waheedaji, Om Puriji, Pavan Malhotraji, Rishi Kapoor uncle and Atul Kulkarniji is like going back to acting school all over again. • What about you and Ranbir? What about us? Let’s get one thing clear. I was never seeing Ranbir. I’m happy for him. Deepika seems to be a really nice girl. • Any more films with him? We’ve got no offers together. But I’m sure we will work together again. We share a great chemistry on screen. • Ranbir has so many ads on air. Where are yours? Mine will come by the end of this year. Main lambi race ki ghodi hoon. I’m very quietly ambitious. But I won’t endorse anything I don’t believe in. • Would you’ve liked to do Om Shanti Om? I’d have loved to. Who doesn’t want to work with Shah Rukh Khan? Salman and Shah Rukh are my lifelong crush. SRK can make any girl believe he can kill for her. I find that aspect in a man sexy. • You want a man who loves to kill for you? I believe in love and passion. • So which is your next film? I haven’t signed anything after Dilli 6. Where do I go from here? I hate compromises. I’m getting all sorts of offers from offbeat to hardcore commercial offers. So I’m glad that I am being considered for all kinds of roles. For now, I’m thankful about the fact that I started with a complex role. • What do you think of your dad Anil Kapoor’s recent films? I liked him a lot in Welcome and Race. My dad had very different roles in all the films, but the one I am happy about is Black & White. I am proud of the range of roles that he gets to play. • What about a film with dad? I would love to work with dad. I get at least two offers in a week to star with him. However, we haven’t got any offer that we would want to take up together. • Dad’s heroines are your age. I’ve seen him act with Sri chachi (Sridevi) and now he’s working with Katrina Kaif and Mallika Sherawat. He’s so convincing! If I can see him romancing my chachi, what’s the big deal about these girls? After all, it’s just acting. The youngest heroine he’s acted with is Katrina and she’s only two years older than me. • Would you like to be a size zero for your birthday? I lost 35 kgs for my first film. Even if I starve myself I’d never be a size zero. Fortunately, I never put on weight on my face. • What do you think of Kareena’s weight loss? She has never looked so good. She has come home for dinner with Saif. She eats really well but has maintained herself. She and Aishwarya are the two most beautiful women in the film industry. • Karan Johar feels Kareena is too thin. There’s nothing like being too successful or too thin.
wichy: отсюда - интервью с Аби и Ашкой. One of the most talked about and in the news couple Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are gloriously in love. We caught up what them to find out about being in love, the best gifts, the constant criticism and of course Sarkar Raj. Are you happy with Sarkar Raj? Abhishek: Gloriously… I think we all worked really hard on it. And I’m really glad with all the feedback we have been getting. I… we are really happy. Ash: I just think I’ve been really lucky to get a chance to play so many different characters. To go through so many emotions. Ramu was just great. And working with pa and Abhishek was just brilliant. You guys are often criticized in the media. Does it hurt? Ash: Of course! I think we creative people are very sensitive. And the constant need to look at us so minutely… I mean we are human beings at the end of the day like any one else. And so yes it does hurt. for example I think the media has just been mean to Ramu.. sure he made a film last time. He made a film… it was an ambitious project and now it’s done. So get over it… but no they keep going on and on and on. Abhishek: I will disagree here… I don’t think its just creative people. It’s just that we are human. And if you are going to keep going at us for no reason whatsoever. It’s not fair. Like one journalist who has a particular affinity to me recently wrote he’s become a fat slob! Did anyone ask why or how? I intentionally put on 12 kilos for Guru. Similarly I did it for this role as well. It wasn’t that it just happened. So there’s never any need to find out why or what had happened. They just write away and that I think is unfair. Ok let’s get away from this and talk about you two. Ash you are positively glowing… (Laughs) I think that’s really sweet. I guess I am just in a very happy place right now. But thank you to all my fans and well wishers for all their love and support as well. I want to know what’s the best gift that you guys have given each other. And don’t say love! Ash: Well I will say the togetherness I have with Abhishek. That’s the best gift ever! Abhishek: I’m thinking hard for this one… (ponders for a minute) ..yes.. I am a huge fan of Nelly and when we were dating his song Dilemma had released which I loved. So she got me a mic … Nelly’s mic specially signed by him and gifted it to me on Valentine’s Day. It was a really special gesture. The one quality you love about each other Ash: I love the way Abhishek has dealt being constantly compared to his father. Something that should have supposedly worked in his favour was used against him but he still remained so cool and dignified. And I think that’s admirable. Abhishek: I have too many to count. I love the way she orders me and says ek cup chai… Ash: Stop! I don’t … Abhishek: … and how she stands for hours before the mirror! Ash: stop it honey… we all know who stands in front of the mirror and for how long!! Before you go please tell us any plans for babies? Ash: I’ll let you answer that one.. (pointing to Abhishek) Abhishek: I don’t think we are the type who want to plan this. It will happen when it does… when God wants it. But as of now, neither one of us is pregnant!
wichy: Перевод: Довольны ли вы Sarkar Raj? Аби: Абсолютно. Думаю, мы все очень старались, и я счастлив, что, судя по отзывам, у нас получилось. Я... Мы очень счастливы. Айш: Я думаю, мне действительно повезло, что мне выпал шанс играть такие разные персонажи и пройти через столько эмоций. Раму был великолепен, а работать с папой и Аби было чудесно. Вас часто критикуют медиа. Вам обидно? Айш: Конечно. Думаю мы, творческие люди, очень чувствительны. И быть постоянно в центре внимания... Я имею в виду - мы же все-таки такие же люди, как любой другой, поэтому конечно обидно. К примеру, думаю, медиа плохо поступает по отношению к Раму. Да, его последний фильм - это был очень шумный проект, но теперь все закончилось, и пора успокоиться... но они все продолжают шум. Аби: Должен не согласиться. Я не думаю, что дело в том, что мы творческие люди. Мы просто люди. И если вы собираетесь нападать на нас просто так - то это нечестно. Как один журналист, у которого ко мне особое отношение, написал, что я разжирел. Кто-нибудь спросил, почему и как? Мне пришлось набрать 12 кг для Guru. Так же и для этой роли я сделал то же... Но им нет необходимости узнавать подробности, они просто пишут и думаю, это нечестно. Хорошо, давайте уйдем от этой темы. Айш, Вы определенно сияете (Смеется) Очень мило с Вашей стороны. Полагаю, у меня сейчас очень счастливый период. Но спасибо всем моим фанатам и доброжелателям за их любовь и поддержку. А какой самый лучший подарок вы делали друг другу. И не говорите "любовь"! Айш: Ну, думаю, это то чувство единства, которое у меня с Абишеком. Это лучший в мире подарок! Абишек: Ну, я должен подумать... да.. Я большой поклонник Nelly, и когда мы встречались, вышел его сингл Dilemma. И она достала мне микрофон (?) - Микрофон Нелли, с его автографом и подарила мне в день Святого ВАлентина. Это был и правда особый подарок. Одно качество, которое вы любите друг в друге. Айш: Мне нравится, как Аби переносит постоянные сравнения с отцом. То, что по идее должно бы работать на него, все время оборачивается против, но он по-прежнему спокоен и держится с достоинством. Думюа, это достойно восхищения. Аби: Мне придется перечислить слишком много. Обоожаю, как она мне приказывает и говорит "Чашку чая, пожалуйста"… Айш: Прекрати! Я никогда … Аби: … и как она часами крутится перед зеркалом! Айш: прекрати, милый... мы все знаем, кто крутится перед зеркалом, и как долго! Напоследок скажите, какие у вас планы насчет детей? Айш: Пусть он отвечает.. (показывает на Аби) Аби: Думаю, мы не из тех, кто планирует это. Будь что будет, как Господь захочет. Но сейчас ни один из нас не беременный!

wichy: Remita : Люблюнимагу обоих... Вот и у меня те ж самые чуйвства... А когда он говорит, что обожает, как она ему приказывает и говорит "Чашку чая, пожалуйста"... Я прям так все это и вижу перед глазами...
Remita: wichy : когда он говорит, что обожает, как она ему приказывает и говорит "Чашку чая, пожалуйста"... Я прям так все это и вижу перед глазами... аха я после этого интервью впала в нирвану какую-то, в душЕ зацвели незабудки...
wichy: Remita : я после этого интервью впала в нирвану какую-то, в душЕ зацвели незабудки... И мне так понравилось, что практически полностью перевела - а не как краткое содержание.. Потому как здесь самое ценное- это не информация о чем-то, а как вообще они обчаются... Так прям как-то тепло и хорошо за них стало...
wichy: отсюда - интервью Раньки по поводу нового фильма с Саифом Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magiс Even if you happen to look like Rani Mukherjee, producers will follow you offering "big" roles - as the romantic interest of the male lead of the film. So, there's no way that a filmmaker would not think of having Rani as the hero's romantic interest. But Kunal Kohli did. For the very first time onscreen, you will see Rani Mukherjee not being playing the love interest of her co-star Saif Ali Khan in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. In an exclusive interview for Bollywood Hungama, Mukherjee confesses that it's a testament to her acting skills that she carried off the role with such aplomb, as Devansh Patel finds out more. What fairy or angel stories influenced you when you were growing up? That's a good question, a little different from what the others are asking me (laughs). I've seen Mary Poppins and I loved it because we used to sing one of the very famous songs from that film in my singing class which I can't recall now. That's one film. And ofcourse, Sound of Music, though she wasn't an angel in the film but that was one movie I really liked watching as a kid and even now. You are not only a movie star but a character actress as well. I mean, how hard do you have to work to create the characters you have portrayed in films such as Black, Bunty Aur Babli, Hum Tum and now Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic? It takes a little bit of your focus to get into the skin of any character. I think I just have to be a bit more observant of the people and watch them in different walks of life and draw inspiration from it. In Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, this angel is a lot Indianized and unfortunately I could not get inspired for my role because I haven't seen a real life angel but I've just given my own touch to it. The film has got fantasy, it's got reality, kids, Saif Ali Khan and yourself. So what's new in the film that tags it 'unusual'? What is unusual is that I am playing an angel and I don't think that the Indian cinema, in the last 50 years, has made a film like TPTM. We have had films like Mr India, Koi Mil Gaya and Krissh. But we really haven't seen any women doing anything with super-natural powers before. So this is one film which is a perfect blend between fantasy and real life, and that is TPTM's USP. What's more is that I am not allowed to love in the film. That makes it a bit unusual too, isn't it? We don't usually see angels perform stunts. But did you come across any cliff-hanging experience in TPTM? There aren't any such stunts as you mentioned but it's just me cycling down the rainbow to get to the Earth and sitting on different planets trying to create lunar and solar eclipse, so she basically does these things because she is a brat angel who loves to play pranks like throws stars on other angels and harasses them and floats on the swimming pool when she is made to fall down in the pool, etc. These are some of the many things she does in the film. From being a brat, lets move on to some emotions. We've seen how well you can portray emotions in films. Then what challenged you as an actress for a role like this one which has no emotions? I think that was something that really made me do this film in the first place because it was my first film in which I will not be seen crying and for me that's wonderful because I have played so many characters who cry in each and every film. Infact, Kunal Kohli has saved a lot of glycerine in this film (laughs). You're 12 years old in the Hindi Film Industry and now that you've become so choosy, do you find that you've become too old for certain roles or too young for other roles? I don't think anybody can be too old or too young for any role. It just depends on what kind of role you want to do and you have to be intelligent enough to choose roles which you feel that the audiences would like to see you in. Bearing in mind my height, I can't play a teenage girl of 16 in any film. That will push it a bit too far. But having said that, in movie making, there is nothing impossible that the actors can or can't do. It depends on how fit you are and how good you look. Personally, I'd like to do roles that I enjoy playing and I feel something worthwhile to do in it rather than decide I'm too old or too young for it. A film like TPTM will surely end something like - '...and happily ever after'. Do you think it's just a myth or can Bollywood change the happy endings in such films? Kids are so optimistic by nature and they are so positive that I think, any film with kids in them should have a happy ending because these kids are the future of our country who will bring a change in our society, for good, I hope. Plus, there is so much violence out there in the real world that it's wise to show good side in kids and end the film on a happy note. Is there any frustration after you've done the film and seen it and it all works fine, but you know you could have done something else to make it work better? I think that happens with every actor. I don't think that's only with me. All the good actors are always complaining about their work not being good and that they could've done better. But filmmaking is all about that moment where you take the shot and where the shot is canned and you have to be as spontaneous and as good as you can be at that point of time. Then they can spend their entire lifetime thinking that 'Oh, I could have been better'. The fact is, when a shot is canned, you have to be focused and have all your energies in that particular shot because it's gone into celluloid forever. What was it like joining a cast and crew that had already worked together? It just makes it simpler and much easier. This is Saif's second film with Kunal but my third film with both of them. So I have a great working relationship with them and a great rapport. When you are working with like minded people, it just becomes easier to work. Out of all the Kunal Kohli films you've done, what would you consider your most memorable one? Hum Tum because I got my first Best Actress Award for that film which makes it all the more special. Any aspects of your character you identify with while playing the angel, besides being a brat? (Laughs) Yes, I do by bringing in a lot of happiness in peoples life and always smiling. When you talk about any angel, you create in your mind a special wardrobe for them which any director would. But has the designer made your look very simple or is it something extra special we'll be seeing in the film? When she is in heaven, she is dressed up like the other angels but when she comes on Earth, she has a different wardrobe and that is one look that she has in the entire film. We could have experimented with many things but as we did not specifically know and have not seen any angel in real life, we had to go by the fairy tale books, paintings and costumes worn by other actors who have portrayed the role of angels before. The costumes aren't that special but the acting is. How does it feel not being able to love your co-star in TPTM? I think it's very interesting because I've already played a lot of romantic roles and love romancing on screen. This was one welcome change in my character. And as you know I'm very hungry and excited to play different roles, this was also one of them which I really enjoyed playing. With so many stars turning bloggers, when do we see you join the elite club? When I really find the time to do that. Right now, I'm too busy and loaded with work.
mar_melad_ka: "It'll be nice to see Hrithik play the role of Chikoo" - Abhishek Bachchan 14 Jun 2008 It was one of those rare sunny afternoons in London. The wind whipped my hair with the ferocity. Speaking of jet lags, my head ached with the dull throb of the morning. All this and it was a day when Abhishek Bachchan had to call me up on Ram Gopal Varma's request for a special interview post Sarkar Raj. I wait impatiently for a call from Mumbai. It was 1500 hrs to be precise and my mobile rings. "Hi, can I speak to Mr. Patel please?" I answer, "Yes, speaking." The young husky voice replied, "Hi, How are you? This is Abhishek Bachchan; Ramu just gave me your number and asked me to speak with you. But can I call you in half an hour as I'm just going in for a shot?" Without further ado and running out of words, I answered, "Alright that's fine." The devil on my right shoulder began whispering - If Abhishek doesn't call you in half an hour, he will not call today, just go home and do not wait for his call - and he went on and on like that. The angel on my other shoulder didn't say much, but what he did say, spoke volumes. Abhishek...Abhishek...Abhishek. I smelled the coffee for one last time, packed my bag and stared at my watch in amusement. It was 1730 hrs, time to leave the office. So as I pushed open the door, the devil once again reminded me - Didn't I say, he won't call. Within couple of minutes, I boarded the train back home and then the unthinkable happens. My phone beeps, the text message reads - Can I call up now? - It was Abhishek Bachchan. And just as the screechy doors of the metropolitan line train were about to shut, I rushed out in time and replied back to A.B.Junior saying - Yes. In less than thirty seconds the display screen on my phone reads - Abhishek Bachchan calling. The moment I have been waiting for since a month arrives. I looked, paused, looked again, and answered my phone. Then the fun began and some serious conversation took place, all on the noisy railway platform in Uxbridge. The film is really doing well in the U.K. Is it right in saying that the Bachchan's have unanimously taken the power in the overseas with Sarkar Raj? Well, I don't know if that could be a statement but yes, the film is doing well and we're very excited about that. I think from the genre of film that it is, it's almost path breaking that the film should be recording the kind of collections that it has, which is very encouraging and means that the audiences in the U.K. are willing to watch this kind of cinema as well. It all started from Refugee, then after a long wait came Yuva, Guru, Sarkar and now Sarkar Raj. All the films I have mentioned have got you critical acclaim. But does that mean, the more grim, intense and ferocious side of you is shown, the better you have performed and excelled? That's actually for you'll to decide but I'd also like to believe that movies like Bunty Aur Babli and Bluffmaster also went on to become successful which were lighter in nature than the films you just mentioned. I think at the end of the day it's the film and its characters which appeal to you and not any one particular genre. Both Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag and Sarkar Raj have proved that how unpredictable Ramu can get as a director. Is that a good sign for an actor like you who has worked with him before and who might work with him again? Of course, yes. You know my greatest attraction to him as a director is that he is unpredictable and that he is forever trying to do something different and he throws a lot of challenges at his actors and as an actor you really enjoy being challenged. He is always accused of attempting the same kind of cinema, which I disagree with. I think it's very exciting because at the end of the day the fate of the film at the box office is not in our hands. The only thing we can do is make films, which we believe in. What would you like to say or convey to some of the critics who've blatantly abused Sarkar Raj the film on a much personal level than a professional one? Isn't this taking it too far? I believe that everybody has the right to say whatever they want - right or wrong - I've always held critics in very high esteem because as far as an actor is concerned, they give you a ready reference as to what the audience might be feeling. If they don't agree with you or they don't agree with the film, I don't see that's any reason to get personal. But I respect what they say and if I think that the points they've made are valid, I'll definitely incorporate that the next time around. It doesn't really affect me to be very honest that at the end of the day, one critic can make or break a film. Your death in the film has come as a surprise to many. Was death inevitable? I don't think so. I just think that initially, when we worked on the script of Sarkar Raj, Shankar Nagre was going to reign throughout the film. But about a month or two into the scripting, Ramu came up with this brilliant idea that Shankar Nagre's character would achieve a different level of respectability in the audiences' eyes, if he dies for the cause he believed in. Not to say that we made him into a martyr but we all felt that it would give him a certain amount of lift in terms of his character if we took this route. And at the end of the day, all that is left is Subhash Nagre and Chikoo. As I've written in my review that Ramu has left so much space by the end of the film that he might be able to start work on the 'Sarkar Trilogy'. On a personal level, what do you think? Yeah. I think it'll be interesting. Ramu is a very exciting director and he will do justice to the third part too. As you said that Ramu has left it open-ended and any time he wants to reprise the film, the most exciting part would be to see dad play Subhash Nagre again with the same sheer intensity as he did in both the earlier outings. I really think he was outstanding in Sarkar and in Sarkar Raj he was just awesome. He has managed to outdo the performance he has done in Sarkar and I genuinely feel that this was one of his best performances ever. I'd be more than happy for a fan of this series and of the franchise to see it carry on with 'Sarkar Trilogy'. The Bachchans are getting busier day by day. The IIFA's, then Sarkar Raj, then the Sarkar Raj road rally followed up by your Unforgettable Tour. Busy people are happy people, as they say. What say? (Laughs) Well, the Sarkar Raj rally is happening within India. We've already been to Gurgaon and Delhi. We will be going in a couple of days to other cities within India to promote the film and mostly interact with the audiences and the fans. We had a wonderful experience in Gurgaon with the local media and our fans. It was an overwhelming experience to see that kind of love and outpouring that came from the people. It's a unique idea and we're looking forward to it. And then, mid July, we embark on the 'Unforgettable World Tour' which actually ends up at the end of August in London. That'll be a lot of fun. And we are happy. That answers your second part of the question. Today completes one week of the films release in the U.K and Sarkar Raj has already grossed more than quarter of a million pounds here. It also marks Ramu's highest ever collections in the U.K too. Any comments? I am happy for Ramu and the entire team of Sarkar Raj. But it's not only U.K., the collections in certain parts of India are huge too. America's collection is equally good like in the U.K, if not, may be slightly more because it is a larger market. But at the end of the day what counts is that the thriller genre is getting accepted in the U.K, which traditionally, never used to work. U.K audiences tend to favor the more Yash Raj brand of cinema, which is a family entertainer with a lot of song and dance and culture. Very honestly, we the team of Sarkar Raj never expected the film to do much in the overseas market because of these statistics. The figures you've given me comes as a pleasant surprise that it's doing exceeding business in the U.K. Sarkar and Sarkar Raj once again proved that the Hindi films aren't just about song and dance routine. Do you think more and more films should be made keeping in mind the success of such films? Most definitely. When Sarkar was first made, it was a songless film. So was Black, for that matter, and they both went on to be very successful films. It just proved that the audience is willing to see films without songs and now Sarkar Raj has proved it again. And that's three in a row for dad too. We can sing to it (laughs). Sarkar Raj is filled with sepia tones, black and grey shades and haunting background score. The film has continued from where it ended. Don't you think Ramu should've experimented a bit this time around? I definitely feel that Sarkar Raj picks up and continues its style that Ramu had implied during Sarkar and this was something that needed to be constant in the film which is the way in which you tell the story and the technique used to convey the story. I hope when the trilogy is made, it still doesn't shift its focus. Working together with the family for the first time would've been a great experience for you. But does it also bring in enough power in your performance when you see your dad and wife opposite you in the same frame? Yes. Once the camera rolls, you're a professional and that is exactly how you should be. As actors, we can't allow our inter-personal relations to come in the way of our acting. But the minute Ramu said - Cut it - we were family again and it was great fun. Both dad and Aishwarya are actors with whom I've worked in the past and have enjoyed working with, and before Aishwarya and me were together, as a couple, we've done many films. Infact, she is one co-artist I've done maximum films with. So when you are facing Indian Film Industry's finest, you need to have the power to face them. What did you learn from Sarkar Raj, which you did not from Sarkar? There is so much to take away from a film that it becomes that much more an important and a memorable experience. I took away a lot from the film. First and foremost is that RGV Ki Aag released during the making of Sarkar Raj and I really saw Ramu go through this entire journey of emotions after his film failed, which we all know, and I really learnt the strengths of character that Ram Gopal Varma as a director has. You need to know that this was the same man who was lambasted for making such a film. But I really felt that the media and many others really went after him unfairly. I applaud Ramu for the way he handled that situation and the strength and the conviction with which he continued to believe in Sarkar Raj and didn't panic and still made the film, which he set out to make. It speaks volumes for Ramu as a director and as a person. From your natural acting in Sarkar we will now see you possess some super-natural powers in Drona. This is a tag that the media has put on because they have nothing else to write over here besides calling it a film with super natural powers. But it's not a super hero film, contrary to popular belief; it is a modern day fantasy in which I play a King. There is a lot of magic in the film but that doesn't make it super natural. I wouldn't compare it to Krishh too. I am really excited about Drona because I've never attempted something like this before. Infact, something like Drona has never been made in the history of Indian cinema. Therefore, we all are working very hard on it and looking forward for it. Any message you'd like to convey to people who haven't yet watched Sarkar Raj? Obviously the first message will be - Please go watch it (laughs). Sarkar Raj is a brilliant film in all aspects and credit goes to Ram Gopal Varma. Secondly, fantastic performances from Dad and Aishwarya and if you're my fan... do I have to say anything further? (Laughs) Whom would you pick to play Chikoo in the Sarkar Raj trilogy? It'll be nice to see Hrithik Roshan play the role of Chikoo and more interesting will be the Ram Gopal Varma combination with Hrithik. That'll be an exciting watch.
wichy: отсюда - интервью с Сохой. Soha Ali KhanЎЇs recent photograph in an international magazine where she was seen completely revamping her prim image has her unfazed. Ў°I was apprehensive about it. But there was a part of me that said IЎЇd like to see how this experiment goes. And I wouldnЎЇt call that makeover. The photo-shoot was slightly tongue-in-cheek,Ў± says the actress. Her cover image was compared to her mother Sharmila TagoreЎЇs bikini avatar in the 1960s by some. To that she laughs and says, Ў°We were prepared for that. The magazine cover was not a talking point between us. ItЎЇs not the kind of thing that you put on your parentsЎЇ coffee table in the morning. Perhaps, I need to do a Good Housekeeping cover to make up for the Maxim cover.Ў± On what her parents thought of it, she says, Ў°I didnЎЇt ask my father what he thought of my supposed makeover. My father watches wildlife and IPL matches, not my movies. That doesnЎЇt mean he loves me any less. But I do expect the rest of the family to see them. IЎЇve other expectations from my father. If he didnЎЇt fulfil those, which he does, IЎЇd be devastated.Ў± So why the Ў®supposed makeoverЎЇ? Ў°Well, that is a part of my personality. As an actor I constantly need to experiment with my looks, clothes and makeup,Ў± she explains. What does her brother have to say to that? Ў°Saif spoke to me about a three-year-old photograph that came out a month ago in a magazine. That, IЎЇve to admit, was slightly risquЁ¦. He called to say, Ў®You donЎЇt need to do that. It doesnЎЇt suit you.ЎЇ Then he called again and said, Ў®You looked very nice in the photograph.ЎЇ ThatЎЇs Saif for you.Ў± Quiz her about him and Kareena Kapoor and she says, Ў°ItЎЇs very embarrassing to be made a spokesperson for him and Kareena but I must say he increasingly understands the importance of family because of his attachment to his own children. HeЎЇs even started doing family films like Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. But letЎЇs not talk about him.Ў± On SohaЎЇs supposed marriage to Tamil actor Siddharth, Soha laughs out loud and says, Ў°There were rumours that I was getting married in April, then stories that I broke up. Then again stories that we are supposed to get married in December. Now IЎЇm looking forward to the next episode in the ongoing soap opera of my personal life butЎ-,Ў± she adds optimistically, Ў°Ў-I canЎЇt complain. IЎЇm in a better place professionally today than I was last year.Ў± Soha is working of four films, including one opposite Irrfan Khan. Насчет своей последней фотосессии для журнала Максим - говорит, что это был для нее своего рода эксперимент, что была готова, что ее начнут сравнивать с имиджем Шармилы в бикини в 60-х годах, что с родителями особенно не обсуждала - это не тот журнал, который валяется у них на журнальном столике, да и вообще папа больше интересуется фильмами о дикой природе и крикетными матчами. Братец сказал, что не надо было этого делать, что ей это не идет, но потом позвонил и признал, что она мило выглядит. Насчет братца и Карины - обошла вопрос стороной, сказав только, что он лучше понимает ценность семьи и свою привязанность к детям, даже начал делать семейные фильмы вроде Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. Про свои отношения с тамильским актером Сиддхартхом - говорит, что все слухи - и про свадьбу, и про размолвку между ними - только слухи. Сейчас Соха работает в 4 фильмах.
wichy: mar_melad_ka : From your natural acting in Sarkar we will now see you possess some super-natural powers in Drona. This is a tag that the media has put on because they have nothing else to write over here besides calling it a film with super natural powers. But it's not a super hero film, contrary to popular belief; it is a modern day fantasy in which I play a King. There is a lot of magic in the film but that doesn't make it super natural. I wouldn't compare it to Krishh too. I am really excited about Drona because I've never attempted something like this before. Infact, something like Drona has never been made in the history of Indian cinema. Therefore, we all are working very hard on it and looking forward for it. Про Дрону - прям звучит интересно... Фильм, судя по всему, либо выйдет отличным - либо громко провалится, но Аби уже решпект, что делает рисковые проекты и не застревает в одном имидже..
wichy: отсюда -интервью с Сонам Капур по поводу нового фильма Dilli 6 Abhishek Bachchan is Sonam KapoorЃfs second co-star and the newcomer, who is enjoying his company on the sets of Dilli 6, says they make a good pair. Abhishek and I are very well-matched, height-wise. Though he is very mischievous, I find him very mature,Ѓh Sonam told IANS. Sonam debuted with Ranbir Kapoor in Sanjay Leela BhansaliЃfs ЃgSaawariyaЃh. While Ranbir is someone IЃfve grown up with, Abhishek is someone I can look up to as a co-star. HeЃfs really cool. In fact, IЃfm learning so much from all my co-stars in ЃeDilli 6ЃЊ. Abhishek and I, and our director Rakeysh (Omprakash) Mehra are so much in awe of Waheeda Rehmanji. During rehearsals every time she reads a scene thereЃfs pin drop silence for a few minutes. WeЃfre all busy staring at her,Ѓh she added. The legendary Waheeda Rehman feels Sonam resembles her. When people, including Waheedaji herself, said I look like her, I feel IЃfll just faint with pride The actress has one regret. ЃgI lost my grandfather. I was very close to him. And my one regret is I couldn meet him before he passed away. The last I saw him was about a fortnight before his death. My Nanaji was loads of fun. Sonam has said no to a very big project with one of the industryЃfs biggest stars for a top-notch banner. The role was extremely sensuous. ThatЃfs fine. But it also required a lot of nudity and there was one major lovemaking scene. It was a smashing opportunity for me to go beyond what Ive done in Saawariya and my second film ЃeDilli 6ЃЊ. But I cant do anything that IЃfm not comfortable with. So far both of SonamЃfs directors have been extremely protective of her. Sanjay sir would cover me up even when I walked from the set to my van. And now Rakeysh is worse! He wants to see me in nothing but salwar-kameez in Dilli 6 For a sequence Sonam had to get into chic attire. When I came on the set, Rakeysh looked at me, and said I should quickly revert to my salwar-kameez look. Because of my dad everyone treats me like a child. I canЃft be doing any role that would make my father, mother and the rest of my family cringe at the premiere. Call me a prude, but thatЃfs that way I am. My father has a 40-year reputation in the industry. And IЃfm not going to tarnish it.
wichy: Вкратце - рассказывает, что она и Аби очень подходят друг другу по росту, и хотя он очень любит попроказничать, ей он показался очень взрослым. Ранбир был для нее "товарищем по детским играм", а вот на Аби она могла смотреть снизу вверх, да и вообще - он очень классный и она многому научилась у него - да и у других коллег по съемкам. Рассказывает, что она, Аби и режиссер (Ракейш Мехра) были просто в полном благоговении по отношению к Вахиде Рехман, и Сонам очень гордится, что многие - в том числе и сама Вахида - считают Сонам похожей на Вахиду. Сонам также говорит, что была вынуждена отказаться от участия в крупном проекте очень сильного баннера с мега-звездами потому, что роль очень чувственная, с большим кол-вом ображенных сцен и с одной постельной сценой, и ей было бы интересно сделать что-то другое, чем в Saawariya или Dilli 6 - но она не может делать что-то, что заставляет ее чувствовать себя дискомфортно. До сих пор оба директора были очень осторожны с ней в этом плане, Санджай кутал ее постоянно, как только она выходила на съемки, а Ракейш вообще позволяет ей появляться на съемках только в шальвар-камизе. Сонам говорит, что из-за отца все обращаются с ней как с ребенком, и она сама тоже не может сниматься в роли, которая заставит на премьере краснет ее отца, мать или других членов семьи.
mask: wichy : роль очень чувственная, с большим кол-вом ображенных сцен и с одной постельной сценой От ежели она это про "Kites" сказала, то большое ей спасибо за информацию, в основном, за обнадеживание.
wichy: отсюда - интеврью с Ларкой. Вот люблю ее последнее время, прям даж не знаю за что... How does life look to you? I'm single, happy…I love my life. How single are you? I'm completely blissfully single. Every hero I work with, I'm linked with. They've also been trying to link me with some Italian businessman. They found some half-baked picture on the internet. Rubbish! There's no Italian or Indian boyfriend.I'm very happy to be alone. Is it embarrassing to be linked with married men? No! Not when they treat you like a chum. I never let it affect me. I do enjoy the company of men. And I'm not going to get inhibited at the thought of being linked with one of them the next morning. How's your equation with Kelly Dorjy? Wonderful. We've spent so many good years together. No one can take away those from us. Kelly and I know each other too well to drift apart. There's a lot of mutual respect. And that will always remain. It's hard to keep the respect going when the love ends. It's very natural for the hurt to remain between a couple when a relationship as intense as ours ends. For a while it was natural for both of us to withdraw. But that doesn't stop us from looking out for each other. A relationship as long-lasting as ours goes way beyond a romantic notion. Are you looking out for another relationship? No I am not. There's no one whom I'm even remotely interested in. And I'm in no hurry. After nine years I'm alone. And I'm enjoying it. Right now I'm so crazy -busy. I'm running around like a headless chicken. What have you been up to? Besides an Art Of Living course? I've just been trying to keep sane (laughs).I've been training vigorously for a film that I'm doing with Akshay and Sanju. After a lot of comedy I'm finally doing an action film. Akshay has asked me to come and be part of this film. I guess we both needed a break from the comedy. This is a super- actioner. Aren't you talking about a film called Blue? That's right. And it's called Blue because the producers wanted to keep it simple. And it's very appropriate. I love working with Akshay. He makes me do the craziest things. If you've seen Bhagam Bhag, you'd know what I mean. Bhagam Bhag also had Govinda in it. Yes and later I did Partner with him, though I wasn't paired with him. Now we're together in Ravi Chopra's Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai. This is one of those rare films where the girl actually has something substantial to do. I'm actually there with Govinda throughout the film. It's a completely different role, an authorized adaptation of the Hollywood film My cousin Vinny. And I play Marisa Tomei's role. But I've got a lot more to do in Banda Yeh Bindaas than Marisa Tomei had in My Cousin Vinny. Marisa Tomei got an Oscar for her performance? I'm getting there. It may happen one day. Good things are happening to you now. I guess everything happens in its own time. Now I'm a little more worldly wise than I used to be. I am being careful in selecting my roles. I don't want to do films where I'm just a glam girl. Doing so much comedy has given me the confidence to carry off roles where I don't have to be the hot babe all the time. Is that a disadvantage? Well, the way things are in the commercial cinema the ordinary girl walks away with the meatier role. If you look at it, it isn't the glamorous girl that the audience identifies with. It's the sweet simple girl nextdoor who walks away with all the audience sympathy. But when you do comedy you get to be more accessible to the audience.It's very important for a heroine to connect with the female audience. Comedy allows you that access. And I haven't done anything aggressively glam in the recent past except Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom. So are you trying to scale down your glamour quotient? Most women don't feel threatened when an actress does comedy. Wives felt my suspicious wife's role in No Entry had a bit of themselves in the role.I enjoyed doing comedy.Sometimes it's nice to go on the other side. But I want to do films that give me a chance to grow. Blue which is an actioner and Sudhir Mishra's Devdas which is a drama….again, unlike anything I've done before. You play Paro in Sudhir's film. He has finally got his Chandramukhi. Yes! I'm so happy Chirangda is playing Chandramukhi. We've got a wonderful cast. It raises the bar for the entire project. As soon as I finish Blue I go into Devdas. That's a totally different world. But Sudhir Mishra's Devdas isn't really a period film. It's very literate and layered and I'd have to dig really deep into myself to play Paro. Everything I've done so far has been in a lighter masti vein. So far I didn't have to cross over to a darker side. Paro is a dark ambitious self-destructive character.I'm not that person at all. I'm going to have to do a Duggu (Hrithik Roshan) on everyday. Are you in a good place? Yes now I am. I've learnt to focus on my own work. Your greatest competition should be yourself. The minute you look anxiously at others you're finished. I'm a mazdoor in a factory. I keep my nose to the grinding wheel. And I just want to work. My biggest challenge would be Sudhir Mishra's Devdas. Any further excitement? Yes a period film. It may happen soon.
Remita: wichy : интеврью с Ларкой. Вот люблю ее последнее время, прям даж не знаю за что... ага и я к ней весьма неравнодушна есть в ней внутренний стержень какой-то кста - а кто у неё бойфренд теперь?
wichy: Общий смысел интервью Лары: рассказывает, что сейчас одинока, но очень счастлива и любит свою жизнь. Говорит, что хотя и ходят слухи о ее романе с итальянским бизнесменом, все это полный бред, нет у нее никакого бойфренда. Ей нравится компания мужчин, и она не собирается страдать от мысли, что с одни из них ее на следующий день "повенчает людская молва". К Келли (ее бывшему бойфренду) она до сих пор отлично относится, они провели вместе чудесные годы, очень друг друга уважают, и никто у них этого не отнимет. Рассказывает, что сейчас не ищет новых отношений, и вообще не спешит с этим - отдыхает после девяти лет, когда она была с Келли, к тому же она очень занята, тренируется для экшн-фильма, в котором снимется вместе с Акшаем и Санджаем. После кучи комедий она наконец-то делает экшн. Фильм называется Blue. Ей нравится работать с Акшаем. Еще она снимается в фильме Рави Чопры Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai - вместе с Говиндой, это очень интересная роль для нее. Фильм - авторская адаптация голливудского My cousin Vinny. Лара играет роль Маризы Томеи, но у Лары роль значительно расширена. Насчет того, что хорошего с ней происходит - говорит, что стала намного умнее, и больше не хочет делать фильмы, где она просто "гламурная красотка". Она сделала слишком много таких ролей, чтобы понять, что в индийском кино симпатии зрителей не на стороне такой красавицы - а на стороне простой милой "соседской девушки". А для актрисы очень важно найти контакт с женской частью аудитории. Комедии дают вам такую возможность, и она многому научилась, пока снималась в них. ОДнако теперь она хочет делать роли, которые будут чем-то новым для нее - и Blue, и новый фильм Судхира Мишры Devdas (драма) - как раз подходят для этой цели. В Девдасе она играет роль Паро - а Читрангда Сингх - Чандрамукхи. Съемки девдаса начнутся сразу по окончании работы над Blue. Паро в девдасе Мишры будет достаточно "темным", амбициозным и саморазрушающим персонажем. Лара совсем не такая Говорит, что довольна тем, что у нее есть - она научилась сосредотачиваться на собственной работе, и главное - быть своим собственным конкурентом, и стремиться к совершенству, не завидуя другим. После фильма Мишры - который сейчас самая интересная и вызывающая для нее работа - она хочет сняться в историческом фильме.
wichy: Remita : есть в ней внутренний стержень какой-то Да, к тому же она мне как-то так стала нравиться как актриса - после No Entry и особливо после JBJ Ахх... кто видел вырезанные сцены к этой фильме? Когда Лара смачно так Аби бьет по заднице?
Remita: wichy : Общий смысел интервью Лары: рассказывает, что сейчас одинока, но очень счастлива и любит свою жизнь wichy - спасиб за перевод
wichy: Remita : кста - а кто у неё бойфренд теперь? В интервью она фсе тебе рассказала Хотя канечн может и прибрехивать, но вообще она выглядит достаточно взрослой и разумной теткой, чтобы действительно наслаждаться представившимся одиночеством.
Remita: wichy : чтобы действительно наслаждаться представившимся одиночеством. Как я её понимаю!
wichy: отсюда - интервью с Ранбиром и Дипикой про их отношения. Вдрухх у нас есть их поклонники... Another treat for Shah Rukh Khan fans is on its way - his biography titled Shah Rukh Can will hit the stands next month. Priced at the Rs 395, it's an account of SRK's life, from his childhood in Delhi to the sets of Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain (this was being added to the book at the time this story went to press). The book's author Mushtaq Sheikh, who had earlier authored Still Reading Khan and The Making of Om Shanti Om, said, "It's an introspective study about SRK the human being, the actor and film personality. He's openly talked about his life, his idols, and also about how exciting his journey from television to cinema has been. He has spoken about his seniors, contemporaries and has not made any controversial statements about anyone". Asked about his experience of working with King Khan, Sheikh said, "For me, the most exciting experience was to see the child in him, as he would go down memory lane during each of the sittings. " The book highlights SRK's achievements in his career as well as his future plans. Ajay Mago of Om Books, the publisher, said, "Each chapter starts with a quote from Shah Rukh. There are so many facets of his life. He personifies the best that a mother would want in her son, a girlfriend would dream of in her lover, a wife would want in her husband, and a child would want in his father". The book has 24 coloured pages with pictures from Shah Rukh's childhood and growing up years as well. Asked why another book on SRK, Magoexplained, "We received a tremendous response for Still Reading Khan, but priced at Rs 3,000 it was beyond the reach of an SRK admirer from among the masses. This book is specially developed and designed keeping both the masses and classes in mind." The book is an extension of the coffee table pictorial biography Still Reading Khan, according to him. As distributors, selling 20,000 copies of King of Bollywood: Shah Rukh Khan and the seductive World of Indian Cinema, a biography written by Anupama Chopra, encouraged them to come up with the next book, said Suresh Kohli, Chief Editor, Om Books. Plans to have the book translated in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati and German are in the pipeline. Who pursued whom? Ranbir: Of course, I pursued her. I'm quite orthodox that way. I feel a man should always pursue a woman. Deepika: Even if I was interested I wouldn't have [made the first move]. Ranbir: But she was a hard nut to crack. She is someone, who is not that transparent. She is quite poker faced that way and I didn't know what she was thinking. Deepika: The pursuing started from Sydney. Ranbir: It so happened that we spent the entire month of January together while shooting for Bachna Ae Haseeno [Images] in Sydney. Once we got back, we spent time together while working on the Pepsi commercial. Gradually, we started meeting a lot, hanging out, going for dinners and coffee. Deepika: He did one thing (giggles). Can I say it? He came all the way to Karjat to pick me up. I was shooting a song with Akshay Kumar [Images] for Chandni Chowk to China then, and he was free for a couple of days. He drove all the way to Karjat to pick me up and we spent the evening together. Was it love at first sight? Ranbir: We were attracted at the very first sight and then gradually we fell in love. Deepika: We hit it off really well and we liked spending time with each other. And then, love happened slowly. We were friends for six months before we started seeing each other. Did your partners then know about the lunch date? Ranbir: Yeah, I think so. Deepika: Both our partners at that time knew that we were going out. It was quite platonic. It was just lunch and nothing more to it. Do past relationships bother you? Ranbir: We do discuss it. I have a past and even she has a past. So it doesn't really matter. I'm, to a certain extent, friends with my exes. Deepika: Even I continue to be friends with some of mine. What was your reaction on viewing Ranbir's debut performance? Deepika: We had just met then and we weren't really in touch at that point in time. For me seeing the scale of the film, and him being a part of it was a proud moment. I did go and watch the film. Ranbir (interrupts): She didn't go and watch the film. I forced her to watch. Deepika: I shouldn't be saying this but by the time I went into the theatre and watched it, it was already out of the theatres. I didn't want to watch a SLB [Sanjay Leela Bhansali [Images]] film on a DVD player, but I didn't have any other option. It was in Sydney when we watched the film together as he had the DVD. After that I have watched the film three more times. So I have watched it four times. The point is that he is extremely talented. Ranbir: Now she has an added reason to watch the movie. Did you enjoy working together in Bachna Ae Haseeno? Ranbir: When I had started working on this film, we were not seeing each other. So I was just looking forward to working on another movie, and also her being in the film. Our first schedule together was in Australia [Images] and we used to shoot and hang out together. Eat at McDonalds and Starbucks. She used to always order two mocha frapuccinos everyday at the shoot. So that was quite sweet. Deepika: Yeah, that's where you made me put on weight. He would order burger for himself and also get one for me. Ranbir: It all started over a burger and coffee (laughs). Did your off-screen chemistry enhance your performance? Ranbir: There's a very fine line between the real and reel. I think what you do in real life is separate. I don't think that just because you're a couple in real life it enhances your performance on screen. Deepika: For me, personally, yes it helps. I'm far more comfortable working with him compared to my other co-stars. Ranbir, who are your top five onscreen pairs? Ranbir: Raj Kapoor and Nargis [Images]. Amitabh Bachchan [Images] and Rekha [Images]. My parents Rishi Kapoor [Images] and Neetu Singh. Shah Rukh [Images] and Kajol [Images]. And me and her. Would you like to comment on Nargis and Raj Kapoor as a couple, both onscreen and off it? Also, what kind of a relationship do the Dutts and Kapoors share today? Ranbir: Off screen, I wouldn't like to comment on it, as I don't know the facts. When they were on screen, they could burn down screens with their sheer passion. It was lovely to watch them, as there was no ego or negativity. They only oozed goodness, which was always accepted by the audience. Their love was simple -- only about feelings and emotions. I respect Sanjay [Dutt] sir a lot, and his two sisters -- Namrata and Priya -- tie rakhi to my father. So we are very much in touch. And speaking of family, how did your parents react to your relationship? Ranbir: They are extremely normal. If I have a girlfriend and she has a boyfriend, they respect that. We are starting out a career, and we are not thinking about the future too much. It's not that we haven't discussed marriage but that's at a later point in time. We are enjoying our time together and we are happy. Deepika: Our families knew way before it appeared on newspapers and television. It is very important for our families to know what's happening in our respective lives. Ranbir: We are actors and we get written about. So it is important for them to know what's happening before it gets written. Of course, they see their child happy and they are happy. When did you meet them? Ranbir: I have met her parents [Prakash and Ujwala Padukone] even before I had known her. They were in Mumbai and lunching at Royal China and even I happened to be there with my family. Deepika: I have met them [Rishi and Neetu Kapoor] a couple of times and then I have worked with uncle in Imtiaz's film. And while I was shooting with uncle in London [Images], aunty had accompanied him. And that's where I got to spend some time with them. I have gone out for dinner with them a couple of times in Mumbai. When did you first kiss? Ranbir (straight-faced): Not kissed yet. Deepika (maintains a dignified silence before adding): We told you we never kissed. Ranbir: I was meeting her after a month at the Bangkok airport. I just hugged her and gave her a peck. I didn't realise there were cameras around. The news channels made a big deal out of it, and it was kind of hard. We are private people and it's hard to see that moment repeatedly being flashed on screen. It was weird, wrong and unfair. Tell us about the first gifts that you exchanged. Deepika: He bought me a piano. I haven't started taking lessons yet, as I want to make sure that I have some free time and I also get a nice tutor. I'm really fond of music. During one of our conversations, I had generally mentioned that I would love to learn playing the piano and the guitar. The next thing I know is that a brand new piano is sitting there in my new house. Ranbir: She bought me a MacBook Air. She buys me clothes and she got me an ultra-cool pair of golden shoes [from Bangkok], which she feels looks cool on me. But I'm a little shy to wear them when she is not around. Deepika: But you have really used them. Every time I was in a mall [in Bangkok] I would stop looking for myself and start looking for stuff for him at the men's section. The gold shoes are at least better than that ugly pair of Timberland shoes. Do you make Deepika sing for you? Ranbir: I really have to coax her to sing. But whenever we are in the car, she hums along with the track that's playing in the music system. She has got a very melodious voice and she should pursue it. What games do you both play? Deepika: I prefer badminton. Ranbir: She kicked my a*** in badminton once. I had ventured out to play with her and she, being the great Prakash Padukone's [Images] daughter [had beaten me]. I was in my trainers and bandana, warming up to play. Deepika: He was literally doing ankle rotations. Ranbir: She beat me 11-0. Deepika: Poor thing, he didn't have the stamina to pull through. Ranbir: I was struggling and panting to play and she was doing her ballet and literally gliding in the air. Deepika: No, I haven't ever challenged him at soccer. He doesn't play very often, but he is really good at it. Finally, what are the things that you hate about each other? Ranbir: That she is an actress. Deepika: He tries to please everyone and can't say 'no'. And love? Deepika: I like the fact that he is not a complicated person. I like his simplicity. He is also very patient. Ranbir: The best part is that there is no negativity in her. When I'm with her, I am surrounded by goodness. It makes me good in some way. The matchmaker, make-up expert Dorris Godambe Senior make-up artiste Dorris Godambe introduced the couple to each other on the phone and the rest is history. However, Dorris attributes it to destiny. "I had no intentions of hooking them up," she explains. "But while I was working for Om Shanti Om [Images] and Saawariya [Images], I used to update them on my experiences on the film set. Also, I consider Ranbir as my son because he resembles my son Suraj, and I have this habit of talking about him to everyone I know. That's how I started telling Deepika about Ranbir." Similarly, she started sharing her impressions of Deepika with Ranbir. Gradually, he got curious and then there came a time when they knew almost everything about each other. "Eventually, I made them talk to each other on the phone, and even before I realised it, they had started going out together," says Dorris, who is yet to accompany the couple on any of their dates. Exuding motherly pride, she adds, "They keep asking me for lunch and dinner but I'm too pressed for time. They make a good pair and I hope they stay together forever. My blessings are always with them!" The boy's mother, veteran actress Neetu Singh Ranbir doesn't discuss his girlfriends with mommy Neetu Singh, but like all good mothers, Neetu sensed his relationship with Deepika. She says: "He never tells me. I always come to know about it. He has had many [girlfriends] before this." Her first reaction when she bumped into Deepika at a suburban Chinese restaurant in Mumbai was: "Okay, she is his girlfriend." They had just exchanged greetings then and even now the star mother and former actress never gets in the way of the young couple. She explains: "I don't interact with her much. I keep my distance with people. When the right time comes, I will." Saying so, her seal of approval definitely matters for 25-year-old Ranbir. She says: "He has not asked me yet." Earlier, Ranbir used to consult his mother before picking gifts for his girlfriends, but no longer. "He is a big guy now," she says. She further recounts Ranbir's teenage days when he used to steal shirts and tops from Neetu's wardrobe and gift it to his girlfriends. "My new shirts used to go missing, and then one day, his girlfriend came home wearing one of my new shirts." The girl's father, badminton champion Prakash Padukone [Images] Deepika's father and former badminton champion Prakash Padukone is all praise for her daughter's boyfriend of five months, Ranbir Kapoor [Images]. "Having seen Ranbir in his first movie, I think he is very talented and has the potential to be one of the leading stars in future," he says. Daddy Padukone is happy that his daughter keeps him in the loop about her professional and personal life. "Deepika keeps us informed about everything. We, as parents, advise her from time to time. We also realise that she is a mature and understanding girl and is aware of her own responsibilities." Is Ranbir the right choice for her? "We are happy if Deepika is happy, whoever her eligible man is going to be," says her father. Does he see Deepika settling down with Ranbir in a long-term commitment? "Too early to say [anything]. It is up to them to decide. At present, their respective careers should be their focus."

wichy: Soniya : Ранбир похоже интересный парень... с изюминкой. Дипику - не прочувствовала пока... Про Ранбира ничего не скажу, интервью не читала даж наискосок - лениво было, а вот в Дипике даж поняла, что меня раздражает - начиная с ОШО - абсолютно одинаковая всегда улыбка и выражение глаз. Лицо ее - модельное, на нем нет эмоций, чувств, для меня ее фото - как маска, ее самой там нет - просто набор дежурных черт, считающихся красивыми и дежурная улыбка.
Soniya: на первой фоте она не напоминает Малику, на второй Бипс, на третьей Приянку
wichy: Soniya : на первой фоте она не напоминает Малику, на второй Бипс, на третьей Приянку Да, и это тоже... А ищщо она, говорят, на Ашку похожа. И ваабче - пока не вижу в ней индивидуальности и изюминки, нет чего-то, что выделяло бы... Вот как Сонам (невольно сравниваю, как главных конкуренток в свое время ) - в ее внешности есть что-то, что цепляет, благородство какое-то чтоль... К тому же она очень разная, разные имиджи, разное выражение глаз... Не знаю, может, я так Дипику не лю - потому что лю Сонам?
мариша: я думаю Сонам больше подходит Ранбиру чем Дипика.
wichy: мариша : я думаю Сонам больше подходит Ранбиру чем Дипика Ой, не, я Ранбира не лю особо (к тому же он чуть ли не ниже ее) - пусть лучче он с Дипикой ошивается, Сонам хочу более красивого и антиресного молчела. Говорят, последнее время ее видят с Куналом Капуром - я бы посмотрела на их пару, они похожи как брат и сестра
wichy: отсюда - интервью с Шилпой Shilpa Shetty tells us that she will be able to empathize with all the 14 housemates of Bigg Boss Season 2 Why did you say yes to the offer to be the host for Bigg Boss Season 2? I said yes to the offer because it will be something new as far as I am concerned since I have never hosted any TV show earlier in my career though I had taken part in the reality dance show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa on Sony TV as one of the judges. I have always liked to explore newer avenues in life and add to my dimensions as a human being. To what extent you will be able to gel with the show? I think I will take to the show like a fish to water for the simple reason that I am very familiar with the format of the show since I have been a part of the show Big brother earlier. I am confident that unlike Arshad Warsi who was the host the last time around of the show, I would be able to empathize more with the house mates since I have gone through the entire procedure as a housemate in Big Brother and I would be the only 'outside' human connection with them. How do you feel as the host of the show? I have been through what all the 14 hand picked contestants will go through and therefore I am able to understand their needs and feelings. I remember what it was to live with strangers in a house cut off from the outside world with nobody to trust and vouch for. However I am sure about one thing. It will surely change the lives of the participants and give them memories to last a life time to emerge as stronger individuals. How tough do you think is your task going to be as a hostess? I van vouchsafe that it is not going to be a very easy task since you have got to deal with raw human emotions when you deal with the housemates in the show. I hope I will be able to garner better TRP ratings for the show Big Boss Season 2 by being able to strike the chords of not only the audience but also the housemates who are going to take part in the show. How have you decided to conduct your task? As I said earlier, I have been though the entire experience abroad in Big Brother and hence it will be easier for me to relate to the housemates of Bigg Boss Season 2 this time around. I will make it entertaining besides adding a human touch to my task as the host. Besides Sambhavana Seth, Shakti Kapoor, Sherlyn Chopra and Jhanvi Kapoor, who do you think are the other housemates in the show this time? To tell you the truth, I have no idea about who the housemates in the show are going to be in this season of the show. I guess the channel Colors does not want to divulge the names to the audience because in that case, the suspense cannot be built up and it wants to spring a surprise on not only the audience but also the housemates every week when a new housemate enters the show Why do you think people take the risk of going to Bigg Boss Season 2? People go for two reasons. Reason No 1 is that they have nothing to hide from the world and the reason No 2 is that they want to be more famous than what they are and also make more money. Do you remember your tryst at the Big Brother? I still remember how eagerly all of us housemates used to wait to hear Debina's voice every week when she used to come to connect with us from the outside world. I remember her voice used to be very warm and friendly. It is an important role to play in the show as the hostess. In what way is Bigg Boss Season 2 going to be different from Big Brother UK? This year unlike the first season, the show which will premiere on August 17 on Colors will be on air every day of the week from Monday to Sunday at 10 pm. It will be a bigger, better, meaner and gruesome real time drama. Is it true that there is going to be a half an hour LIVE, unedited slot every day? Yes. Starting from the second week, every day at 12.30 am, there is going to be a half an hour LIVE unedited slot at midnight, though in keeping with the Indian sensibility, the show will be censored by the channel so that nothing objectionable is shown to the audience. Is it true that celebrities will be replaced by newsmakers in this season? Yes. Bigg Boss Season 2, the Indian version of Big Brother UK comes with its unique twists this year that make it bigger and better with newsmakers replacing the celebrities in the show. If there is an opportunity, would you be game to enter the Big Brother UK for a second time, as a housemate? No. I would not go to Big Brother UK for the second time because one time is more than enough to last me a LIFE TIME. When I went there for the first time, I did not know that it would be so difficult, because unlike in Bigg Boss Season 1, there was culture clash right from Day One and I found it difficult to cope with that initially. It is only after the first three days that it starts sinking in you that you are in an entirely different world where you have to fend for yourself. Were you confident that you would be a winner in Big brother when you entered it? Though frankly I did not think that I would last for even two weeks there, I lasted in Big Brother UK, because I went there with the mind- sight not to fear. What did your stint at Big Brother UK teach you? It taught me the highs and lows of life around. It is only when you spend time in a place like Big Brother that you will really come to know how a person really is, without the mask which conceals his or her face. Would you advise your younger sister Shamita to go as a housemate in Bigg Boss season 2? Forget about going to Bigg Boss Season 2, my sister Shamita will not even listen to any advice of mine, because she is a highly individualistic girl with her own mind What is your advice to the housemates? All that I can advise every housemate is to be true to him or herself, because who the audience find as endearing will not be decided if you are fake. People will be interested in seeing the other aside of you as a celebrity or a newsmaker and hence please do not do things only for the sake of entertainment. The housemates who are otherwise so dependent on external factors will start learning new things every day during their tenure at Bigg Boss Season 2.
wichy: отсюда - пресс-конференция с участниками Баччановвского тура. "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Firstly, our apologies for being late. We've just got off the plane from New York, baggage, getting dressed and trying to cope with the jet lag has been taking its toll. That's why I'm wearing dark glasses. I hope that you'll understand. It's been several years since I've been on a concert of this nature and I'm truly enjoying the experience. It's not my age to be on stage anymore but I'm being provoked by the youngsters and the younger generation. The fact that this is going to give me another opportunity to meet the fans and to be with the audiences has got me on board. We've had a wonderful trip so far and as we approach our last leg, we do look forward to giving it that little bit extra in the last miles, as we all say. Thank you for your support. Media, you've been wonderful with us throughout this tour and we hope you'll continue doing that. We truly appreciate the contribution of Wizcraft for putting up a show which has surpassed some of the previous efforts that have been done by us. Once again, Thank you so much for being here everyone". With this speech, everyone sitting in the Press Conference put their hands together for one man who has brought and is bringing the Indian Film Industry and it's lovers across the globe together with each passing day - The indispensable and the undisputed, Mr Amitabh Bachchan. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away. The Unforgettable Tour's London Press Conference was just that apt moment for those who love and cherish Indian Cinema. So, Bollywood Hungama's Devansh Patel brings you the exclusive chit-chat with the Unforgettable Stars from London's St James Park Hotel where the entire gang interacted with the U.K media, strangely, in a very fun loving and a humorous mood after a long one hour wait. Well, let me tell you, it was worth the wait! Being a live show, how did you physically train yourself to cope up with the stress levels? Amitabh Bachchan - Oh dear. Thank you for reminding that I need physical training (everyone laughs). I think that we all have a routine every morning or evening or whenever we work in front of the camera. When the show was initiated, I think that we needed to get a little more energy because there is a lot of singing and dancing. Being on stage live is a totally different experience from being in front of the camera where you have the benefit of re-takes. But yes, we've been doing our regular gyms and rehearsals for over three months and hopefully it's working well. Q. This goes out to everyone on the panel. Out of all the performances, except your own, whose performance did you enjoy the most? Amitabh Bachchan - Vishal and Shekhar (everyone laughs). Preity Zinta - We all liked each others performances but above all, Mr Bachchan's dialogues. That was my favourite part from the Tour. Riteish Deshmukh - I agree with Preity. I think when Amitji recites his lines, it's extremely emotional and gets difficult to perform after that. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan - The whole show is awesome. We've genuinely enjoyed all the performances. But Pa's dialogues are just totally in the movement. Every entertainer works and performs for the audience. So it's the audience's response which is the most memorable at every venue. They've just been exceptional. Abhishek Bachchan - Having Dad on the Tour is a great honour for all of us present on the dais right now. Needless to say, he is a star attraction. Whenever he is on stage, everybody backstage just stops everything and focuses on his performance. Coupled with that, I'd like to believe that the show is very interactive and the way the audiences have performed has been truly unforgettable. Amitabh Bachchan - For me it's a little bit depressing backstage when I watch these youngsters move (other actors laugh) because I can't move like that now. I feel depressed and I hope that some day I'll be able to do what they do on stage. Abhishek Bachchan - Yes...so he comes out on the stage and knocks us straight out (other actors laugh). Vishal Dadlani - Yeah...and then comes out on the stage and says 'Aaj Khush Toh Bahut Hue Honge Tum, Haiii?' (Amitabh Bachchan laughs) How strenuous has the schedule been for you so far? Preity Zinta - It's been hectic because we've been travelling the world over but it's been fun. I think the most hectic has been last nights travel. None of us has slept on the plane. But we're here in London and it's nice to see such a big gathering. There is a lot of excitement and fun associated with this Tour. So you don't feel the stress that much. How much of the show is really rehearsed and is there something somewhere, some kind of a surprise for the London show? Wiz Viraf Sarkari - The show is absolutely rehearsed. Preity Zinta - Not when Abhishek is there (laughs). Wiz Viraf Sarkari - We've been rehearsing before we kick started the show for about a month in Mumbai. Every last performance happens to be a rehearsal for the next performance. I think there are some special moments in the show especially when the stars are jamming into each others acts. How is the London show going to be different from the other shows you've done so far in the Unforgettable Tour? Amitabh Bachchan - Oh! (After a pause) We have Shilpa Shetty in this one (everyone laughs). Preity Zinta - When we had this show in San Francisco, my brother came for the show. I asked him how he found the show, to which he said that it is the best show he has ever seen because everything he knew about Indian Films was a part of this show. He could really identify with it. I think that's why the show is different and hope that you come and see and.... Abhishek Bachchan - (completes Preity's answer)....have the same opinion. Preity Zinta - Sorry I am a bit slow (laughs) The Tour must have been a special one for you Mr Bachchan as you must have spent some quality time together with your family? Amitabh Bachchan - All of us are just one big family. It's not just the three of us. It is great fun being together. We often don't get time in Mumbai even though we are in the same city working on different films in different studios near by, live near each other. We do not get time to even see each other. That goes for the members of my immediate family as well. We all live under the same roof but many a times, days go by and we don't see each other because of our shooting schedules. But this has been a wonderful experience. We travel together, move together, perform together, laugh together, pull each others leg after the show is over. I hope that we can spend many more days like this. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan - Riteish said something really sweet yesterday. He turned around and said that as soon as we go back, we all are just going to keep coming for breakfast and lunch and dinner as often as we can. We must meet up if we could because it's the Unforgettable Team should continue as we go back. We are beginning to feel it now. The time we've spent together has been so wonderful and we are all feeling the same way as Riteish. Is the brand Bachchan for world domination? Amitabh Bachchan - (After a pause) No! (everyone laughs) What sort of happiness do you get by doing a live performance as suppose to the one in front of the camera? Amitabh Bachchan - Good question. I think that when you're on stage and perform live, it is far more fulfilling experience than when you're performing in front of the camera not knowing what kind of reaction you'll get. Because here the reaction is immediate, because visually you can see what it's doing to you, what you're doing to the audience. I think it's a lot more satisfying which is why when Aishwarya said that it's the audiences performance which is keeping us going and on stage. When we hear the screams and the roars and the applause, that provokes us and gives us that extra energy to perform better. I doubt very much if that kind of experience happens in front of the camera. It's just a very muted performance without reactions. At the most you get the director coming out and telling you that it was a good shot. A lot of time passes since we start working on a film. Sometimes a year before you can actually get to hear that appreciation or not. Here this is a lot more enjoyable. How does this Tour compare with your other Tours? Aishwarya Rai Bachchan - The tour is unforgettable for multiple reasons. We always feel unfair when you ask us to compare the tour experiences, film experiences or any of our work experiences because each one at that given point of time is extremely special. We give our all to it and we come out all enriched with experience that down the line if you ask us to choose, it's like telling a mother to choose between her kids. But this Tour, personally for me, is extremely special because this is my first tour with the love of my life (hugs Abhishek) and it's his first world tour. It will always be like...We did this together. It's again special because it's got my mother-in-law and she is here with us too. Moments spent with her were memorable and will be cherish for a long long time (everyone claps). Preity Zinta - I'd like to be a bit humorous. Actually, this is the first time that another heroine has taken care of me. So, if I go to have lunch or dinner at her apartment or room, she always serves me and takes care of me. So, I think that's pretty unforgettable (all laugh). I've always been pampered by Ash and there will never be a Tour like this again. So I'd like to thank Wizcraft and Mr Bachchan and everyone on this Tour. As a performer, it's a different story all together seeing Mr Bachchan perform. And really...I've grown up watching Sholay and watching his films. So it's amazing and I know that such thing will never happen again (all applaud). Aishwarya Rai Bachchan - I'd like to add the fact that even though today I'm family and I do call him 'Pa' and that kind of comfort level, you know but it's just over a year now since I'm a part of the Bachchan family. I've been a part of this industry for a while and to grow up watching Pa's films is an honour. It's a dream to be doing this show with him. I am so glad Pa agreed to be a part of this Tour. He is a legend here... Amitabh Bachchan - (humorously)....This is getting extremely embarrassing and I'd like to leave now with your kind permission (all laugh out loud). Aishwarya Rai Bachchan - No way. Amitabh Bachchan - Stop!! (then smiles) Aishwarya Rai Bachchan - You're too sweet (laughs) This is your first world tour Riteish. How's the experience been like and what steps have you taken to support the climate change which is associated with this tour? Riteish Deshmukh - It's quite strange because I just finished shooting a film with Amitji. (looking at Mr Bachchan) Sorry Amitji, apologies but I had to mention it. As a child when I used to watch his films I was like ....Oh man! It's Amitabh Bachchan film. I never dreamt that one day I'd be doing a film with him. To share any kind of screen space and stage space with him is an honour and I'll always cherish it. The day when Abhishek called me for the world tour about a year and a half back, I immediately said, 'Let's go and have fun'. They've really taken care of me. As I've mentioned before many times that I am the youngest member of the Tour and the youngest one is the most loved one. I got to know Vishal and Shekhar and Preity a lot more through this tour. I got to know Ash know as well better. I am glad that because of Wizcraft, this day has seen the light of the day. About the climate change, about couple of years ago, I got aware of the seriousness of this issue and what we could do to help it. I watched the ads all over and people talking about it. I do what I can do to support this cause and I think we need to take actions at our own level to make a change at a larger level. You are an artiste who doesn't return annually for tours be it at various intervals of your career. Frank Sinatra once quoted that each tour has its own memories and emotions that are associated with that phase of your life you're in. What does the Tour represent to you and how have things changed in the three decades you've spent bringing our cinema to international shores? Amitabh Bachchan - I think initially what it demonstrates is the resilience of Indian cinema and the fact that our presentations and our performances and the way we come out to perform has not only increased in numbers but increased in the way it's presented. I keep repeating this story again and again. In 1973, I came out here with Jaya and was invited for a show in Southall and there were five people in the theatre. Two were Jaya's relatives and there were three ushers. Now we've matured to huge venues and a large number of people coming out to see us, the most memorable for me was at the Wembley Stadium. So every year with the awareness of Indian Cinema growing across Indian shores and different parts of the world, this is great news and if we can through our concerts and meet and greets and our performances create that atmosphere where our films are going to be watched by a larger number of people then I'm very happy to be associated with this. The entire film fraternity - my colleagues, my seniors, my juniors, they've all worked very hard with a great amount of confidence and aggression to make sure that the legacy of Indian cinema continues. What is the nature of your relationship with the Indians in India and abroad? Amitabh Bachchan - Well, primarily we're really proud of our country, our history, our culture. It goes to thousands of years. We're proud of the fact that we fought for our Independence and the largest democracy in the world and we're really proud now that the way India is progressing after the economic liberalisation. India today is a recognised force and I hope to see that India is no longer referred to as the third world country or a developing nation and should be referred to as developed nation (everyone applauds). Those that chose to go out of India and settle abroad and work, one must acknowledge their desire to do so but what I have noticed is that in spite of them going out and settling abroad, they still have never forgotten their roots and that's why we come and relate with them. You've been writing on your blog throughout the Tour. Are you really enjoying the process of writing it? Amitabh Bachchan - I've not been just writing during the tour. I'm now on Day 120 (i) and as soon as I get off from this Press Conference, I'll start the Day 121. I just feel that it's a wonderful medium to express myself, to express thoughts and ideas that come to me, to be able to connect to my fans and well wishers on a daily basis and an immediate basis. I know that the media, through its wonderful medium, will transfer the relationship that we have with you through your newspapers and television. Blog is something where we get to talk to them directly. We get their responses directly. It's a wonderful experience and I don't have to see the morning papers to check out what I said or what my reactions are or to wait for a week or a month to get a feedback in reverse as to what that particular article meant to several people. I write my thoughts and within seconds, at times even faster, I get a response and that's marvelous. I think very large percentage of those who visit my blog are complimenting. There are abuses as well, there is dislike and debate and there is discussion too. I encourage that. I do not ask my server to monitor any remarks that comes to me because I think it's important to give space to people who do not agree with you. It's wonderful to know that the whole world does not have to necessarily agree with what you have to say just because you happen to be a film star. I'm very happy what I'm doing and hope to continue that (everyone applauds). Who was the brain behind this Tour and who selected whom for this Tour? Amitabh Bachchan - All of us, everyone's brains. All of us selected each other (everyone laughs and then applauds). There are so many other causes to support. So why only climate change, why not poverty? Climate change is a western cause which is finding its way back home in India. Did you find the cause or did the cause find you? Amitabh Bachchan - When IIFA was celebrated in Yorkshire, that's the first time two years ago that Wizcraft International and the founding committee decided that we would acknowledge the cause of global warming. There was an association called 'Global Cool' which was based outside England and we joined hands with them and are very strongly behind it. When we took this cause with this tour, we thought that this was something universal. We felt it would be out of place to be performing in Houston for a village in India and we felt that if we're touring the entire world, we should look at a cause that encompasses everyone. I think that all of you would agree that global warming is indeed a universal cause that all of us should look after. You mentioned it being a cause too western. I think that is not entirely correct. I think all of us are victims of global warming. It could be that the U.S and the developed world is largely responsible for the emissions. But in time to come with India developing and the kind of development that is taking place, we will also be victims of the same kinds of emissions and therefore perhaps the West is trying to warn us to take pre active measures before we get into a situation that they are in now presently. I think that is very wise. At this year IIFA in Bangkok we had the good fortune of honoring Dr Pachauri whose work on environment got him the noble peace prize. During his lecture which he gave at the business forum, we were made aware of several other factors which we were terribly excited and moved with. One was the idea of growing more trees and joining a campaign of a billion tree program. I'm happy to state that we have now managed to go beyond the billion figure. Dr Pachauri also stated that 33% of the world is still without electricity. It's a little contrary to global warming to try and work with electricity. But he wanted to use Solar energy to try and get electricity to the villages. A large number of that 33% comes from India. Hopefully, through this Tour we will be able to at least contribute to one village. As the Tour goes to different countries we want to increase the number of villages we can lend our support to. He has given us all a solar lantern. It's a kind of system that is well prevalent now in some of the villages in India and we hope to be able to propagate that (all stand and applause).
wichy: Отсюда - Каран рассказывает, готов ли Болливуд к Brokeback Mountain Is Dostana a gay romance? No, John and Abhishek play two straight guys who pretend to be gay. As the trailers say, it’s a tiny lie that they tell because of certain circumstances. Is it an updated version of the 1980s buddy film with the same name? It has absolutely nothing in common with that film (which my father made) except the name. Oh, and both films have two actors with a sexy girl between them. So you would be surprised to hear that the original Dostana that starred Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha is also occasionally read as a film with gay subtext. I wonder what my father would think of that. But you know in India we find it slightly embarrassing to watch male bonding. (Laughs) You started a trend of self-referencing in Bollywood with Kal Ho Na Ho. And in these trailers you seem to be making fun of your older films. Oh yes, Tarun and his team had a lot of fun making these trailers. In Bollywood we have a new romcom coming out every month. These trailers have you thinking, "Oh God, another film that says it's an eternal love story" and then you plummet straight into this mad plot. In Kal Ho Na Ho, you had a gay subplot. In this film the fake gay relationship is the main thread of the story. Do you think you will ever make a film that is actually about a gay couple? I learnt something from making Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. I learnt that it's possible to make a Rs 70 crore film about infidelity with stars as big as Shah Rukh Khan. And people accepted it. So I will push the boundaries with each of my films. People judged me far too quickly. They decided that I would make only mushy films but I will break new ground every year. We have to leave behind the tone of the films we made in the 80s and the 90s. But is India ready for a big, serious film like Brokeback Mountain yet? I would say it won't go down too well yet. But we will open the doors for other filmmakers in the future. Communities who have made major contributions to cinema have been oddly subject to terrible stereotyping on screen. Like Muslims and Anglo-Indians in Bollywood. Do you think the industry is homophobic? I don't think people confident in their own skills would be homophobic. If you are educated and have been brought up in an urban milieu it's quite ridiculous if you are homophobic. It either means you are insecure or you have never read a book. Or that you are in denial of your own orientation. Homophobia speaks volumes about who you are. That's as far as the industry is concerned. As filmmakers I think we have a great responsibility to be sensitive to the feelings of all communities. We Asians are an emotionally volatile and dramatic lot. Tarun and his team have made a film that is fun but does not poke fun. It is not callous and does not hurt the dignity of gay people in any way. It may shock a small part of the population, but I think most people would enjoy it. What do you feel about being a gay icon? It's very flattering to be an icon to any community. I have been asked many times about my own orientation but I will never discuss my personal life. People can look at me or look down at me, I don't care. What I do and where I do it and who I do it with is nobody's business but mine.
wichy: отсюда - выдержки из интервью с Канганой Ранаут - про Kites и Амира Кхана. In a recent Interview, Kangana Ranaut talks about her meeting with Rakesh Roshan to talk about Kites. He said ‘you are doing my film’. That’s the kind of rapport I have with Anurag. He never narrates the script to me. How can you refuse someone who has launched you and taught you acting, anyways? No complaints, ‘Metro’ worked out well. Same with ‘Kite’. I knew that Anurag was directing ‘Kite’ with Hrithik Roshan. One fine day he just called me and said you’re doing the film. Of course Rakesh Roshan has a different style of working so he narrated the script. And I was super excited when I heard that I was doing my first film with Hrithik Roshan. I’m telling you, the drive from my place to Rakesh Roshan’s office was indescribable. I had butterflies in my stomach. I couldn’t believe I was doing a film with Hrithik,” she says with glee. One can only imagine her enth-usiasm. Its well worth after her last missed opportunity with Aamir Khan with whom she was slated to do a film. “Oh no, you can’t compare the two experiences at all,” she says firmly. “I love excitement of signing a new film like the way Hrithik’s film worked out. It was a firm, quick decision. But with Aamir’s film, there was a lot of confusion as to whether or not I was doing it. That’s anticipation. I don’t like being confused. I don’t want that in my life. ” Maybe it was for the better that her film with Aamir didn’t work out. Going with Aamir’s style of working, she might have had to alter her lifestyle to suit his liking and dedicate a year to learning acting to live up to Aamir’s standards. His new find, Jiah Khan is going through the process as we speak. “Look if Aamir Khan worked with me he wouldn’t have to change a single thing about me. My priority is work. I take my work seriously so he wouldn’t have had to ask me to cramp my style. And he would definitely not have to send me for an acting workshop. I would’ve given my all to the film anyways. If you see my history, I gave up my family to come to Bombay and join films. For me my job is above everything else. Everything else comes second to my work. I’ve heard that when Aamir Khan works on a film everyone on the sets is asked to call the artists by their screen characters’ names and I don’t see that as a stretch. It shows a passion towards something, that I understand,” she responds. Говорит, что при встрече Анураг Басу просто сказал ей, что она будет сниматься в его фильме. Так она попала в Kites. Он никогда не рассказывает ей сценарий - да и ей в принципе все равно, поскольку она никогда не сможет отказать тому, кто ввел ее в мир кино и научил играть. Сюжет фильма ей рассказал только Ракеш Рошан, и Кангана была очень рада, что будет работать с Ритиком. Насчет фильма с Амиром - который она должна была делатЬ, но который для нее не сбылся - говорит, что с самого начала ее участие в проекте было под вопросом, и она не была обижена. Насчет того, что Джия Кхан, которая заняла ее место в проекте Амира, сейчас должна посвятить целый год, чтобы соответствовать амировым требованиям в плане игры - Кангана говорит, что Амиру не пришлось бы в ней ничего менять, если бы он работал с ней. Главное для нее - работа, и она бы делала все, что могла, отдавшись фильму полностью.
wichy: отсюда - интервью с Каришмой Капур про жизнь и ее предполагаемое возвращение в кинематограф. Karisma Kapoor fans, rejoice! Your heroine is ready to return to work. And it may be sooner than you imagine. Bollywood has decided that enough is enough; it now wants the gorgeous actress back. Karisma hasn’t as yet signed a “comeback” film. But she’s seeing scripts, looking for a role that will justify her leaving home, family and daughter and stepping back into the limelight. These are her words, not mine. She doesn’t get the “comeback” bit, however. “Don’t women in other professions take maternity leave,” she asked me with spirit, “do secretaries make comebacks? Does anybody in Hollywood ask Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep who make one film in five years whether they are coming back?” I got her point. We were talking over coffee at a suburban club. She jets between Delhi and Mumbai like, well, secretaries commute between Virar and Churchgate. Her in-laws have houses in both cities. “It’s nice for me,” smiled Karisma, “I enjoy the hustle and bustle of Mumbai and the calm and lovely winters of Delhi.” Mumbai hasn’t seen her since Shakti in 2002, but at 34, she could still stop the traffic. Neither the demands of marriage nor the tugs of motherhood have so much as dented her stunning good looks. Delhi designer Manav Gangwani got her to walk the ramp for him at the India Couture Week recently. And Karisma had the audience drooling. But how long will she be happy doing only fashion shows, brand endorsements, and remaining connected to Bollywood through her younger sister? I asked if she would consider a film with Kareena. “I’ve been offered umpteen number of films,” she admitted, “but it’s a big deal for us to co-star and we don’t want to do just any film, this would have to be the ultimate.” And what about cousin Ranbir? “Not a romantic role opposite him,” Karisma said horrified, “but a character role, why not?” She thinks Ranbir has all the makings of a star in his blood. And Kareena? “What can I say? She’s fantastic! Actresses aren’t made like her. But I think her best is yet to come. I liked her in Yuva and Chameli. In Jab We Met, she made me cry. Who’s the better actress, she or me? We’re different, but she is — by far! I had to work a lot but Kareena’s a natural.” Maybe they are different as actresses, but how about as persons, as Kapoor girls with individual takes on men, love and marriage? Could she, like Kareena, have had a relationship with a co-star like Saif Ali Khan when at the top of her career? “Probably not,” replied Karisma reluctantly, “I’m old fashioned. Kareena shocks me. But that’s the thing you love about her.” As the elder sister, did she approve of Kareena seeing Saif given his reputation of failed relationships? There was no hesitation in Karisma’s answer, “After all my experiences, I’ve learned not to judge anybody. You don’t know what’s going on in their home and life. Bebo is important to me, she’s a sensible girl, what makes her happy — makes me happy, the family will stand by whatever decision she takes.” What about Saif, did she know him? “Of course,” the brown eyes danced with amusement, “we did Sooraj Barjatya’s hit film Hum Saath Saath Hain in, I think, 2000. As a co-star, he’s chilled out, fun-loving. To have as a brother-in-law? Hmmm... Saif’s a wonderful person, sweet, and he treats me like the elder sister though he is older than me!” She’s had the pick of Bollywood’s male hunks as co-stars, everybody from Aamir to Akshay and Shah Rukh to Salman, but Karisma rates no actor as her favourite leading man. “The script has always been of utmost importance to me, and my role, but I’ve been lucky to have had good relations with all my co-stars,” she said diplomatically. “All my co-stars are now Kareena’s. They must have a sense of deja vu, they’ve seen her on my sets, and now they’re working with her.” I wanted to know about her marriage to Delhi businessman and polo player Sanjay Kapoor, a ticklish subject. “Getting married, becoming a mother, is something an actress cannot imagine until she goes through it in real life... that’s because we do it so many times in films. We think life’s a film scene. But in real life, it’s a beautiful experience in a different way. It’s challenging to grow into a woman. The fun of being married is the blending of two personalities,” she began. But what about the rumours, I asked. “Well, I’ve been through a lot, but I always take the good out of everything. I’m a strong, determined and positive person. You should read that book Extreme Marriage in which marriage is described as the ultimate extreme sport. It’s a humorous book. Marriage is challenging, it’s a lot of fun, there are beautiful stories and sad. I think marriages are made in heaven,” Karisma Kapoor said. So are thunder and lightning, I gently reminded her.

wichy: Бааааальшое интервью с Аби и Ашкой, из которого Лолик цитировала кусок про проект Бхансали: отсюда Ў°Abhishek and Aishwarya fight in the hotel lobby,Ў± screams a headline telling a tale of trouble in paradise. Ў°Aishwarya giggles while co-star Priyanka makes her moves on stage during a star studded show,Ў± says another exposЁ¦ in print. Ў°Bachchans have completely alienated themselves from the industry and the three of them are functioning as a unit,Ў± is yet another not so positive observation. Abhishek and Aishwarya were miles away from the headlines that they had made. Recovering from a bout of German measles, AishwaryaЎЇs aquamarine eyes that had launched a million products, were red. Abhishek was dressed in Indo-western, which is apparently his favourite wear off late. There are a million trivia questions running through my mind as I watch them exchange a private look as I sink into the chair opposite them. Does Ash cook at home? Ў°No she just does not have the time.Ў± What did Abhi give Ash for their first anniversary, Ў°A vacationЎ±. And even though they sounded like most normal couples, nothing could take away from the fact that they were the It couple, and the millions that ride on them can never be forgotten as also the sharp look that Ash gave Abhi as he dug into a cookie and then kept it back as it did not meet the biwiЎЇs approval. If that is not love, what is? Here is speaking business with the couple that IЎЇd rather only hear coo-talk fromЎ- SD: This is your first tour as husband and wife, is it going to be work or recreation? Abhi (Abhishek Bachchan): It is going to be enjoyable work. Ash (Aishwarya Bachchan): Ya, Abhishek has put that in perspective. Individually youЎЇve known us all. And I am talking about our family. Pa is very committed and passionate about his work. We have put up a good show and connected with the audience. We have all said that we love to bond together and after very long we are getting an opportunity to spend these 6 weeks together after Ў®Sarkar RajЎЇ. And Abhishek and I have obviously had a blast as a couple. SD: Why do Abhi-Ash choose to be so cut off from the world. Is it just the first flush of marriage or something else that does not allow you guys to mix with the industry, which you are a part of? AB: We have been outdoors, I completely refute the allegation. After shooting Ў®Sarkar RajЎЇ, Ash went to America to shoot Ў®Pink PantherЎЇ for two months, and of course she was also completing Ў®Jodhaa AkbarЎЇ immediately after marriage. I had gone to shoot Ў®DronaЎЇ and then I was in Miami for Ў®DostanaЎЇ where she joined me. We have been so busy working independently so it is not as if we have become an island or something. Ash: It was a personal loss that occurred end of last year, beginning of this year we lost dadi maa. The family was in mourning. Everyone has on record everything that has happened but suddenly everyone has chosen to take this overflow unnecessarily. I had taken time out from filming to be with Abhishek but that was because when we got married I had gone straight to work and we didnЎЇt really get to spend any time as a couple. Apart from all other commitments we have been productively spending time working. SD: Ў®Sarkar RajЎЇ is considered to be one of your best performances. Did Abhishek or the marriage inspire you to perform or is it that his company just brings it out of you? Ash: Very tricky when you say things like these because you kind of wonder how to answer it, very honestlyЎ- Abhi: (cuts in) I think her best performance to date has been in Ў®GuruЎЇ and that is before we got married. Similarly I think Ў®ProvokedЎЇ was another very very powerful performance of hers. The kind of performances she has given over the past three four years has been outstanding. The maturity and the versatility sheЎЇs shown has been great. I mean for an actor to start one year with Ў®ProvokedЎЇ, do an Ў®Umrao JaanЎЇ, then do a Ў®Dhoom 2ЎЇ and then do a Ў®GuruЎЇ. I donЎЇt know of any other actress whoЎЇs managed to pull off something like that. Her versatility speaks volumes and I do think Ў®Sarkar RajЎЇ was one of her better performances not merely because of the work she did, which was wonderful, but to be in a film like that, which is a guyЎЇs film, and to be a woman and still be able to stand out and hold your ground without shouting from the rooftops is very commendable. I donЎЇt know actresses whoЎЇd do that, I donЎЇt know any male actor whoЎЇd do that. For example in Ў®GuruЎЇ I had the title role, my character was an author backed role but I feel her performance was far superior to anyone else in the film (Ash: Awwww) because when you have no framework to work within, thatЎЇs when your talent truly comes in. I basically did what Mani asked me to do, all of it was written there for me to pick up, she had to create. So yes, I donЎЇt think itЎЇs something that has happened post marriage. She is definitely one of the most talented actresses we have today and her popularity proves that. SheЎЇll obviously deny all this as soon as I finish saying this (laughs). Yes as the husband and the member of the family weЎЇd like to believe that we help bring out the best in each other (laughs). The last time the three of us worked together in a sense made history with Kajra re; though she had agreed to be part of Ў®Bunty Aur BabliЎЇ before marriage. I thought it was very interesting that when the whole world expected us to be paired in a romantic film and we managed to pull off a film like Ў®Sarkar RajЎЇ. I get tonnes of emails from a lot of fans who appreciate that we didnЎЇt come as a romantic couple in Ў®Sarkar RajЎЇ. So I donЎЇt think itЎЇs something thatЎЇs newly found in her. We hope that as a family we continue to inspire her to continue her great work. But she has already been doing it for a long long time. Ash: IЎЇm very thankful to erЎ-(Abhi, to me: Laughter) to all the directors also who have given me the opportunity to learn along the way. I always say experience is the biggest teacher, I firmly believe in that because that has been my only school since I havenЎЇt had any other formal training. You get the opportunity to work with directors who have the faith to keep offering you different roles, given the parameters whatЎЇs offered to a leading lady. To be very honest I donЎЇt read a lot of papers or magazines because I know it reaches you anyways but the messages and SMSs I have received over the last couple of years from film to film have been very exhilarating and wonderful. They are very reassuring that the choices I am making and the kind of experiences I am looking forward to as an actor is being recognized and appreciated. SD: And that feels good. Ash: Yes the last few films Abhi mentioned and continuing into Ў®Jodhaa AkbarЎЇ and Ў®Sarkar RajЎЇ, all these films have evoked similar responses that this has been my best work and as a student of cinema you feel that you are putting out that work. And as far as belonging to the family, yes we are a family. But professionally when I get to work as co-star with Abhi, or Amitji and I am not talking in terms of husband or father-in-law, any actor will say that you are working with a colleague who brings so much to the table, it contributes and you come away learning so much. And IЎЇve worked with Abhishek in so many films and each time itЎЇs been a pleasure working with him, and I am not saying this as a wife. At the end of the day he can say listen I want to play safe, I want to be this glamorous current star, please give me the most popular music, I want to rock the charts, I have to look cool, I have to look young. He can easily chart this course and be just called the next big thing but what I love about the way he has worked is that, he has made these diverse choices. Ў®GuruЎЇ being a glaring example of willing to put on weight like that, to actually traverse what the directorЎЇs ambition is to see this actor aging the way he did, to work on the partial paralysis the character experiences. It speaks a lot for the actor and his commitment. A lot of people donЎЇt even know this but he actually shaved off a bit of his hair to give the impression of a receding hairline. And he was working simultaneously for Ў®Dhoom 2ЎЇ and he made sure he didnЎЇt short change either of the films. That takes a lot because prosthetics could have been an easy way out but he just did it because he said the director has a conviction, so I am going with it. And heЎЇs done that over and over. Take for example Ў®Sarkar RajЎЇ. He didnЎЇt say, Ў®it was a sequel, you are going to bump me off? Wait a minute, I wonЎЇt be there in the third partЎЇ, I mean heЎЇs not even going into all that. He goes with the conviction of the director and I love that. In my own way probably thatЎЇs been my approach as well, but Pa is legendary, heЎЇs an institution and itЎЇs just wonderful working together. SD: When you do these deglamorized roles, is it a conscious effort to underplay your beauty? Ash: My first film Ў®IruvarЎЇ actually has me playing a deglamorized character. And if you date it back to Ў®Choker BaliЎЇ and then post Ў®DevdasЎЇ I have done so many movies. But I always felt that people tend to identify lesser physical make-up as deglamorized and more make-up as glamorous. Whereas that has not been my approach at all. It has always been, work on the character the way you envision it, but never forget that you also have to bring to life what the director has envisioned. ItЎЇs a collaborative effort. ThatЎЇs when you see a film where you feel everything fell in sync. So itЎЇs not about deglamourized or glamorized, itЎЇs about creating a character that when you see it on a poster itЎЇs identifiable with the movie. ThatЎЇs been my approach since a very long time. ItЎЇs just not the face of Aishwarya because you keep wondering you are playing so many different types of Indian characters and think how to play one different than the other, because itЎЇs the same face but a different person. Every actor whoЎЇs interested in working with the director to create that character does it. SD:Abhishek do you think the myth of female following decreasing after marriage is true? Ash: You should have been there at the premieres of these films. You should have seen the screams and the hollers and then youЎЇd have known. Ask me, IЎЇm the wife I know. Abhi: Post my marriage there was Ў®Sarkar RajЎЇ and then there was this film that I did a brief appearance in, Ў®Shootout At LokhandwalaЎЇ, and another brief appearance for my friend Adi in Ў®Laaga Chunari Mein DaagЎЇ, Then I have Ў®DronaЎЇ coming up, then Ў®DostanaЎЇ and then Ў®Delhi 6ЎЇ. The criteria is not that you choose films that win you adulation. ItЎЇs about fulfilling your creative need, itЎЇs about being inspired to do a film. And a film if made well will appeal. You can never tell what kind of a film will definitely get you a certain kind of an audience. You have to make a film as sincerely and as honestly as possible and that is what will appeal to the audience. Ash: There is something very wise I learned very early in my career. I was told to concentrate on my craft, the career will happen. And thatЎЇs pretty much the approach every member of our family has had for sure. Enjoy doing what you are doing. SD: Ash, how differently is married life treating you? For most women it changes but remains the same for a man traditionally speaking. How different itЎЇs been besides the fact that you have someone to take care of now? Abhi: I think thatЎЇs the most wonderful part about our married life that she has made it so seamless that I donЎЇtЎЇ feel any difference at all. I get to live with my best friend, and the credit for that goes entirely to her. I am sure men are very difficult to live with. (giggles) We have very different ways of doing things, which is a complete opposite of how women do it. (more giggles) But sheЎЇs fit in so beautifully and seamlessly that she has not allowed me to feel that there has been any difference. SD: Is it one moment that makes one realize that your work buddy becomes your soulmate? Is it one moment that makes you feel everythingЎЇs changed? Abhi: ItЎЇs always a process, I donЎЇt think it hits you like a ton of bricks. The process was that we were colleagues first, we were friendly at first then we became friends, and then finally came together. That was a process in itself. It was a wonderful and a memorable process. Ash: WeЎЇve had so much experience in the past. We have so much to look back at all the memories along the journey. ItЎЇs not just been one fine day thing; itЎЇs really been a journey. Abhishek, you had mentioned in some press conference that you are happy having one pack instead of six. But in Ў®DronaЎЇ you play a super hero, doesnЎЇt that superhero require the archetypal toned and worked up male physique? Abhi: An actor must always be presentable. I donЎЇt think anyone wants to go out and see a hero whoЎЇs out of shape and not well presented. Having said that I think it is a higher duty of an actor to look his character. I donЎЇt think audience would have liked Ў®GuruЎЇ that much had he to have a six pack and long flowing hair. More important to be the character. Coming to Ў®DronaЎЇ, Drona is not a super hero, itЎЇs a fantasy. It is a very physical film. It has a lot of action which we paid a lot of attention to. So it depends from film to film. Ash: Just adding to that, I think itЎЇs wonderful for an actor that in addition to being screamed Ў®AbhishekЎЇ by the fans, there are also people screaming Bluffmaster, Sarkar, Bunty, Gurubhai so many men saying that. ItЎЇs superb that a connection has been made with the audience with the characters you play that they call you also by your character names. It means youЎЇve made an impression. ItЎЇs wonderful that it has gone beyond Ў®AbhishekЎЇ screams. You are carving characters which people retain as identities and so many various ones, I think itЎЇs fabulous. I really enjoy that and it makes me very proud when I see that happening. SD: Have there been any surprises post marriage, anything about her personality you didnЎЇt know earlier? Abhi: No. She is everything that I expected her to be and a lot more. Ash: Likewise. As I had said earlier we have connected over time and experiences with each other so itЎЇs been like you already knew each other and thatЎЇs the comfort factor. He is everything I wanted him to be and more. Then again life is beautiful, itЎЇs also about growing together and discovering each other. SD: Will we be seeing you in a romantic film? Abhi: Yes in Mani RatnamЎЇs film. Ash: Oh that wonЎЇt require much acting then (giggles). SD: The shows that you are a part of currently, is it a show of strength of Brand Bachchan? Abhi: ItЎЇs not about a show of strength; itЎЇs not about a brand. ItЎЇs about going out there and connecting with the people. That is the prime focus of these shows. ItЎЇs not to prove a point to anyone. Ash: And we have not clearly labeled it or titled it that way. Brand Bachchan is a phrase that has gotten coined somewhere along the way in the writ word; but we are from the beginning reiterating and Pa has been vociferously saying that this is not about it being with just the family, we are going with a huge troupe of colleagues and putting on an all encompassing show. Yes you can never take away the fact that itЎЇs Mr. Bachchan out there and heЎЇs a living legend, so yes he will be hugely impactful irrespective of how much he is there in the show or in the press conferences he attends. There could be fifty of us standing there on the stage but you can invariably see and will feel his presence the strongest and the maximum and he genuinely is deserving of that. He has gotten a phenomenal library of films to show for. That is something you canЎЇt take away from the Bachchans but because of that it canЎЇt necessarily be coined or labeled as an exercise to put forth the brand Bachchan so to speak. SD:The people you have chosen to take on this tour, are they also the people you are friendly with or you formed the entourage based on what you thought would put out a good show irrespective of their equations with you? Abhi: Yes, Riteish, Preity, Madhuriji, Vishal-Shekhar, Akshay are people we are extremely fond of, have immense respect for. ItЎЇs a mixture of people who are friends and other people who we thought would be ideal for the world tour. SD: There are these rumors that you were laughing at PriyankaЎЇs performance at the IIFA. How true is that? Abhi: I think itЎЇs very ridiculous and petty of people to write stuff like this. We are one couple I think who have great admiration for our colleagues, they are all our friends. Apart from the fact that itЎЇs ill-mannered to laugh at someone on stage, which is something we would never ever do, I think itЎЇs in very bad taste to write something like this. There was some report at another press conference that we had a showdown in the lobby. They really have to have very fertile imagination to make that up, I mean if you have nothing to write, donЎЇt try to make up things. I think itЎЇs very unfair, because they are tearing apart the very fabric of this film industry. We are all very integrated, we are all every close. We might not be sitting on each otherЎЇs laps but itЎЇs a big fraternity. And by writing stuff like that these people are trying to create a wedge in relationships, which have taken years to nurture, with people we work with on a daily basis. We have a lot of respect for all our colleagues. And our upbringing and behaviour would never allow us to do something like that. ItЎЇs very unfortunate that it happens and we donЎЇt get enough opportunities like these to say something about it. Ash: There are too many false stories, and we canЎЇt keep up. One day there will be a story and there will be a clarification and the next day there will be another story followed by another clarification. There are just so many false stories and they all came back to back. There was a ridiculous one with me demanding a pair of glares that cost ten lakhs. I have never heard something more far fetched. If the intention is to get a clarification just get a quote from the designer or the producer. But that effort does not seem to be happening with these people. There was a silly story about him supposedly slapping a spot boy, find that spot boy and get a quote if you are looking for a clarification. ThereЎЇs a story about us having a fight and some security guards having reported it, itЎЇs not validated with any kind of actual presence. Many times we just wonder where do the actors have time to have problems with each other. Everyone is just so busy working. Events like award functions, tours are the few opportunities where we meet our colleagues abroad and get a chance to connect and bond with them, we interact with them a little more, spend a little time with each other, have a few laughs, relax and have a good time. At premieres or socials we barely manage to exchange Ў®hiЎЇsЎЇ or Ў®how have you beensЎЇ? But somehow visuals get pulled out of context and get used to validate such stories, its very unfortunate. And there is nothing we can do about this. And like Abhi said it shouldnЎЇt tear from the fabric of our endeavour to remain connected as a fraternity. That discomfort should not be brought in. That need for clarification amongst us should not be unnecessarily driven in by irresponsible, completely wrong reporting if I may say so. ItЎЇs totally unwarranted. I remember after we got married I thought things would settle down with such stories but Abhi said the drama has just started. Just be a matter of time when there will be stories about fights and what not. And when this story actually came out about us having a fight I was like, Ў®what? already?ЎЇ, itЎЇs only been a little over a year since we married. And you wonder what next, there will be more about God forbid, discord, us having affairs. Even Aamir was asked the other day about him and his marriage. I think things have become just a bit predictable now and itЎЇs unfortunate and its unwarranted is all I can say.
wichy: отсюда - рассказ племяша Амира про новый Амиров проект Delhi Belly, главная роль в котором - снова у племяша. Ranbir Kapoor had opted out of Delhi Belly with a squirm, protesting to producer Aamir Khan that he wouldn't be able to watch the film at the premiere with his parents. Cool with it But Imran's cool with the sexual content of his mamu's film, "I'd have no problem watching it with my mom or girlfriend. I have a cool rapport with my mom." Imran has been attending workshops for Delhi Belly. "We started shooting from October 4. Delhi Belly is in English, so it's inherently limited in appeal." Imran has lost weight for this role, "I needed to lose that muscular look. So I've stopped gymming completely. I'm not exercising at all. And I'm eating as much as I want because I'm not prone to fat at all. For Kidnap and Luck, I needed a bulkier body." Danger beckons He continues, "I played a daredevil and had to jump off the 20th floor. I insisted on doing it myself although the body double was present. I got a shouting afterwards from my mom, girlfriend and Sanjay Dutt. In fact, Baba phoned Aamir to complain. That's how Aamir got to know about it. Having jumped from that height, I've lost fear of stunts. My next action film will have to be really big. I grew up being thrilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. I had decided that if I were offered those kinds of stunts, I'd do them on my own." Mamu scolds After Aamir heard that Imran had performed a dangerous stunt for Kidnap, Aamir called Imran home and gave him a dressing-down. Says Imran, "He said, 'You have to be more responsible towards yourself and your family.' He's right but I don't know if I can listen to him in this case." Итак, Амир снимает порнуху, в которой постеснялся сниматься Ранбир Капур, так что теперь главный герой фильма - Имран. Ранбир говорил, что не сможет смотреть этот фильм вместе с семьей, у Ирфана такой стеснительности нет, и он говорит, что сможет пойти на премьеру и с мамой, и с подружкой. Для участия в фильме Имран долго репетировал и брал мастер-классы. Съемки начали 4 октября. Фильм на английском, так что аудитория ограничена. Имран для съемок сбросил вес и перестал заниматься спортом - поскольку должен выглядеть более щуплым. До этого для Kidnap и Luck он должен был выглядеть покрепче. Во время съемок (полагаю, съемок Kidnap) Имран прыгал с 20-го этажа, без дублера. Потом на него наорали мать, подружка и Санджай Датт. Именно Санджай пожалился Амиру по телефону, и Амир отругал Имрана тоже. Зато теперь у Имрана нет страха делать экшн, и в следующем экшн-фильме он постарается все трюки выполнять самостоятельно.
Rulka: 16/10/08 Как вы будете отмечать свой день рождения ? (У Хемы Малини сегодня круглая дата - 60 лет). Еду вместе с семьёй в храм Тирупати в штате Андхра - Прадеш. Теперь с каждым новым годом я всё ближе к той самой черте, которую всем уготовил Бог. Самых хороший подарок. который вы когда-либо получали ? Каждый год мои дочери Эша и Ахана пишут мне от руки поздравительные открытки, в которых они выражают самые нежные чувства. Эти открытки всегда для меня остаются желанным подарком. Как вам удаётся в таком возрасте быть такой привлекательной ? Каждое утро я занимаюсь йогой и делаю упражнения вместе с инструктором по фитнесу. Почему вы занялись политикой ? Хотела доказать, что и женщины могут многое сделать. Есть ли какое-нибудь отличие между "девушкой мечты" (dream girl) Хемой и сегодняшней Хемой ? Да, большая разница. С возрастом я стала взрослой. Хороший и тяжёлый жизненный опыт меня многому научил. Вы можете сказать, что теперь я уже не "девушка мечты". Но вы ведь и сегодня прекрасно танцуете и великолепно играете ? Потому что я - и танцовщица и актриса. Одно дополняет другое. Актёрская игра - моя профессия, а танец - страстное увлечение. Без этого вы даже не можете представить Хему Малини. И возраст не мешает вам погрузиться в танец ? С возрастом каждый человек по-разному связан с Богом. Кто-то становится отшельником в горах.,кто-то отводит душу в молитвах. Я вижу Бога в танце. Когда я танцую, то полтора-два часа живу в особом мире вдали от мирской суеты. Это мне доставляет душевное наслаждение. И я рада, что людям и сегодня нравится мой танец. Вообще-то людям нравится вас видеть и на экране. Когда вы теперь появитесь на экране ? Я буду сниматься в одном фильме вместе с Дипой Сахи и Нана Патекаром. Съёмки фильма должны начаться в следующем месяце. Что для вас жизненное достижение ? Моя карьера. Хотя в самом начале она была неудачной. Но когда я выбрала свою карьеру, я уже не оглядывалась назад. Какой секрет вашей счастливой семейной жизни ? Притирка. У меня был особый брак, по этой причине мне в семейной жизни пришлось со многим соглашаться. Я считаю, что именно поэтому моя семейная жизнь удалась. Вы думает о свадьбе Эши ? Как мать, я переживаю из-за этого. Я и Дхармджи ищем хороших парней для Эши и Аханы. Конечно, я не буду возражать против выбора Эши, но пока у неё нет никого. Вы собирались снять фильм вместе с Аханой ? Да, но теперь всё это уже в прошлом. Ахана решила стать модельером. Скоро она собирается открыть свой бутик. Её это очень интересует. В каком направлении вы намерены дальше двигаться как танцовщица, актриса или политик? Как танцовщица и актриса, потому что это - основа моей жизни. Без этого я ничто (Перевод с хинди Ю.К. из газеты "Navbharat Times") * по материалам sitaara.narod.ru
