Bollywood top star? Social Survey!

Bollywood top star? Social Survey!: Shah Rukh Khan, the reigning star for over a decade, last had a superhit in 2008 (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi). Salman Khan has had a resurrection with blockbusters like Wanted and Dabangg. Aamir Khan’s empire (his directorial venture, and production house as well as his movies) is reaching its pinnacle. Then there is Bollywood’s Golden Boy, Hrithik Roshan, and Akshay Kumar, who has given many hits, though recently it’s been more flops than hits. In the film industry, usually one star always shines brighter than the rest.

In the ’60s, it was Rajesh Khanna, the ’70s and ’80s belonged to Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh had the ’90s and most of the 21st century’s noughties. Who will rule now? Here’s a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis of Bollywood’s top stars.

Shah Rukh Khan
Twitter followers: 7,46,326
Google results: 60,90,000
Hits and misses: Though he debuted with Deewana, Shah Rukh literally burst out of the cinema screens when he played two consecutive negative roles in Darr and Baazigar. Subsequently, he became a huge romantic hero with films like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Dil to Pagal Hai, not to mention director and producer Karan Johar’s favourite actor, delivering hit after hit after hit. It’s difficult to list all his hits (and some misses) – there have been so many. Suffice it to say that he’s been the No. 1 all-round hero for a long time – King Khan indeed.

Hot factor: He’s not at all conventionally good-looking, but Shah Rukh’s energy, spontaneity and self-deprecating sense of humour make him very real to the audience. He’s the ultimate romantic hero, not afraid to cry and to wear his heart on his sleeve. And he also epitomises young urban Indians who are highly ambitious, internationally-minded and not afraid to show it. Men love him, women love him, even kids love him!

Right moves: He understands his audience and plays to the gallery almost every time.

Wrong moves: He’s over-exposed – all over the place in advertisements, in cricket (because of his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders), on television as a host, at awards shows as a compere… Plus, he doesn’t seem to be making good script choices these days. He was last seen in My Name is Khan, which wasn’t very well-received.

Up next: Ra.One, a superhero film and his home production and Don 2: The Chase Continues.

Our (gratuitous) advice: He should choose better scripts, cut down on endorsements and remember what his audience wants from him.

Aamir Khan
Twitter followers: 4,49,561
Google results: 40,10,000
Hits and misses: Began with a bang! Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak was a superhit! And it also established Aamir as something of a romantic hero. Always popular with the audience, Aamir’s time really came with his home production Lagaan in 2001. He established himself as the thinking audience’s actor, someone who will only do quality films and roles that are not stereotypes even if the movies themselves are commercial. From Rang De Basanti in 2006, Aamir has given hits every single year, culminating in the mega successful 3 Idiots in 2009. He also reinvented himself as a director with Taare Zameen Par and as a producer of hit films such as Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Naa and the off beat Peepli Live..

Hot factor: He comes across as an actor, not a star, and his perfectionist stance is much appreciated. He’s also very likeable on screen, and with such a youthful face, can even get away with playing a college student as he did in Rang De Basanti and 3 Idiots. He is not as intensely romantic as SRK, nor does he have a bad boy image like Salman.

Right moves: He has made much of his perfectionism, whether as an actor, director or producer, so audiences now know that he will give them something different and challenging with every film. He has been consistent with his choice of films, which have been both entertaining and path breaking.

Wrong moves: Because of his height and voice, he doesn’t suit larger-than-life roles, like that of Mangal Pandey in the film of the same name. He also avoids media unless he has a film to promote, which means he isn’t really connecting with his audience. Does this mean his fans don’t see enough of him?

Up next: Dhobi Ghat and a guest appearance in Delhi Belly, both home productions.

Our (gratuitous) advice: Aamir should junk his only-one-film-a-year policy and interact a little more with the media and his fans.

Salman Khan
Twitter followers: 5,32,893
Google results: 64,00,000
Hits and misses: Shot to fame with the superhit Maine Pyar Kiya and of course, instantly became a romantic hero. Over the years, he’s been associated with masala entertainment – the real Bollywood deal. But hits are not guaranteed with Salman, there have been many highly forgettable films between the most memorable. His latest, Dabangg, however, is the second highest-grossing film of all time, which means that right now, Salman is very much in the running for Bollywood’s Hero No. 1.

Hot factor: Salman is Salman – he’s made a separate space for himself in the industry. On screen, he doesn’t come across as an actor playing a character, instead he seems as though he’s just being himself. He’s great at situational comedy, has established a bond with the masses, and comes across as one of the boys. Also, he’s a bachelor who’s had highly decorative girlfriends. Now, that’s glamour!

Right moves: Salman isn’t that convincing in an intense role and he doesn’t fit into experimental cinema – and he knows it. So he sticks to what he knows best – cinema that is meant to entertain. He has very effortlessly and with great success made the transition to television and is a likeable and interactive host.

Wrong moves: He doesn’t sound serious enough about cinema. He needs to learn from Shah Rukh how to handle the media, and take lessons from Aamir on how to market his films and himself.

Up next: Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai, Ready, My Love Story.

Our (gratuitous) advice: Salman should stay true to himself.

Going steady: Ajay Devgan
He arrived on Bollywood’s screens in style, doing the split between two motorbikes, and was instantly accepted as a hero. So Ajay’s 1991 debut film, Phool Aur Kaante, did good business even though he isn’t a conventionally good-looking star. But Ajay’s dark brooding eyes are his USP and no one doubts his audience-attracting power. Ajay has had consistently good performances in all sorts of films, from standard Bollywood fare like Jigar, Ishq, Dilwale, to dark, intense movies like Zakhm, Lajja, Company, The Legend of Bhagat Singh, Omkara. He’s just had a stunning year with back-to-back hits: Rajneeti, Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai and Golmal 3.

Akshay Kumar
Twitter followers: 2,69,434
Google results: 1,82,000
Hits and misses: Akshay completes two decades in Bollywood this year. While the ’90s primarily saw him kicking butt in action flicks like Khiladi, Mohra, Sabse Bada Khiladi and Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, he went on to establish his credo as a versatile actor in multiple genres with Yeh Dillagi and Dhadkan (romantic), Ek Rishtaa (drama), and comedy with Hera Pheri, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Singh is Kinng (for which he won quite a few awards). But the real winning streak started in 2007 after he churned out five hits in a row – Namastey London, Heyy Baby, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Welcome and Singh is Kinng (there’s a Tashan nestled in there somewhere but the less said about the movie the better). A long string of flops began soon after, then Akki landed Tees Maar Khan with director Farah Khan but that hasn’t worked either.

Hot factor: He’s good-looking and fit, and gives good competition to the Khan troika.

Right moves: We do think Akki could do with better scripts but even so, he does end up opposite some of the biggest and hottest Bollywood babes: Deepika Padukone in Chandni Chowk To China, Katrina Kaif in Namastey London and Tees Maar Khan and Aishwarya Rai in Action Replayy.

Wrong moves: Akki’s filmography from mid-2008 onwards is packed with forgettable films like Chandni Chowk to China, 8x10 Tasveer, Kambakkht Ishq, Blue (seriously, what was he thinking??), De Dana Dan, Khatta Meetha and Action Replayy. And nothing about his latest film, apart from a certain Sheila, is generating much buzz either (except how terrible it is!).

Up next: Patiala House, a sports drama with Anushka Sharma; Thank You, a romantic comedy by Anees Bazmee, Desi Boys, an action comedy, and Shirish Kunder’s Joker, with Sonakshi Sinha. Yes, he does seem to do movies at a breakneck pace.

Our (gratuitous) advice: He should choose scripts wisely because that’s the only thing that will make or break him. Oh, also, host more good TV shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi and less nonsense like Masterchef India.

Missed the bus? Shahid Kapoor
When Shahid Kapur starred in Sooraj Bajratya’s Vivah in 2006, we thought he was on a roll! Yes, he did mess it up with that atrocity that was Fool n Final in 2007, but he came right back with a bang with Jab We Met, which became a blockbuster that is talked about even today (it also won him a Filmfare Best Actor Award). Just when we thought it couldn’t get any bigger, he blew us away with his riveting double role as a crook and his lisping brother in Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kaminey in 2009. So what happened then? A string of duds – Dil Bole Hadippa, Chance Pe Dance and Paathshala – from which his career never really recovered. We bemoan the loss of a superstar because with his superb acting skills, chocolate looks and ripped eight-packs, no one can deny that Shahid did have (still has?) superhero potential.

Hrithik Roshan
Twitter followers: 4,79,980
Google results: About 30,20,000
Hits and misses: Ever since he burst on to the big screen in 2000 with Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai, Hrithik has had star status in Bollywood. But the films after the debut did poorly. A temporary reprieve came in the form of Karan Johar’s Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, then disappointments again. But then papa Rakesh Roshan had Hrithik befriend a plasticky-blue alien in Koi…Mil Gaya and Hrithik the hero was back. Though films like Kites and Guzaarish (which wasn’t exactly a bad movie, it just didn’t make too much money) were bad news, Hrithik got rave reviews for Krrish, Dhoom 2, Jodhaa Akbar and Luck By Chance.

Hot factor: ‘Greek God’, ‘Golden boy’, ‘Dances like greased lightning!’ These are the kind of comments Hrithik evokes.

Right moves: At the moment, none! Bold, offbeat roles like his latest in Guzaarish, where he plays a quadriplegic who seeks euthanasia, shows he’s willing to experiment, but when the film flops, the experiment boomerangs.

Wrong moves: Movies like Kites – it was supposed to launch Hrithik’s Hollywood career! Crossing over with bad films seems like a bad idea.

Up next: Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Mile Dobara opposite Katrina Kaif; Shekhar Kapur’s Paani, co-produced by Danny Boyle, co-starring Kristen Stewart and Christopher Waltz.

Our (gratuitous) advice: Choose scripts wisely. He’s had too many flops lately.

Lost the plot: John Abraham
We can’t remember the name of John’s last movie. Can you? What we do remember – vividly – is half of John’s butt in the scene where he pulled down his yellow swimming trunks in Dostana. He looked so hot that clearly everyone’s memory cells were fried, because no one can really remember what he did after that (except flash his butt again a year later in New York). Then he probably got tired of being half-naked all the time, so he donned some geek glasses and went on a massive promotional campaign for something called Sach Ya Jhootha, or Jooth or Sach... or wait, it was Jhootha Hi Sahi? As we said, can you remember?

Waiting in the wings: Imran Khan
Twitter followers: Not on Twitter
Google results: About 1,98,000
Hits and misses: It’s only been three years since he was launched in the industry, but Bollywood’s new chocolate box hero, Imran Khan, has managed to make a place for himself in every girl’s heart (and her aunty’s heart too). After being launched in uncle Aamir Khan’s home production Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Naa (he picked up a Filmfare Best Male Debut Award for that one), his short filmography of just five films has had just two hits (Jaane Tu... and I Hate Luv Storys) and three misses (the disastrous Kidnap, Luck and Break Ke Baad). However, these are early days and the Junior Khan continues to ride the popularity wave (with pointers from Uncle Aamir, we’re sure).

Hot factor: He looks like a younger version of his already young-looking uncle, Aamir. Plus, his massive eyebrows are endearing, his sense of humour is charming and he ranks way up there when you think of the word ‘cute’.

Right moves: Playing it safe, choosing only big-banner commercial movies that will ensure he stays in the limelight.

Wrong moves: Maybe Imran needs to listen more carefully to Uncle Aamir’s advice about how to choose the right films.

Up next: Delhi Belly, produced by Aamir Khan and directed by Abhinay Deo.

Our (gratuitous) advice: Imran should choose his work with a little more care.

The crown prince? Ranbir Kapoor
Twitter followers: Not on Twitter
Google results: About 45,70,000
Hits and misses: He’s been in the industry just about three years, and his very first film, Saawariya, flopped. Yet everyone, including Amitabh Bachchan, believes Ranbir will be the next superstar. That is because, even in such a short span, Ranbir has managed to showcase a range of acting skills – from the exuberant role in the rom-com Bachna Ae Haseeno, to the realistic Wake Up Sid, to the irreverent Prem in Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani, to the earnest and clever salesman Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year. Not to mention a mature and intense performance in Rajneeti.

Hot factor: He fits into the Brat Pitt category in our industry. He has droopy-poet eyes, a great lean body, great height, great lineage (the son of Rishi and Neetu Kapoor) and a heavy baritone. And he looks sensitive too. Team that with passion for cinema and acting skills and he’s hot.

Right moves: Ranbir Kapoor was never low-profile. Even as his debut movie, Sawaariya, flopped in 2007, his butt-baring, towel-dropping act catapulted him right into the audiences’ laps. Directors and producers talk of how hard he works and what a professional he is. He hasn’t been slotted as any particular type of hero and experiments intelligently.

Wrong moves: Too much is being made about his personal life and slew of girlfriends. At this stage, he needs to stay out of controversies and concentrate, concentrate, concentrate!

Up next: Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar in which he plays Barfee, a rockstar.

Our (gratuitous) advice: Ranbir needs a career-defining role that will establish him once and for all in the industry. He should also do more films.

Alternate current: Abhay Deol
Though he is related to Bobby and Sunny Deol, Abhay has no star family baggage. He doesn’t talk about gymming, he is not conventionally good-looking, he hasn’t been trained in drama or dance. He just acts. And chooses roles that are more than zara hatke. The result? Abhay Deol has created a niche for himself in the industry, a space in which he experiments without worrying about whether he’s hero No. 1, 2 or 300.

Abhay debuted in 2005 with Ahista Ahista, a good movie, though it didn’t shake the box office. He stood out among the many actors in the ensemble cast of Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. Next was Ek Chalis Ki Last Local opposite Neha Dhupia and he impressed the critics in Manorama Six Feet Under. But it was his National Award-winning role in Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! that first impressed both critics and audience. Abhay didn’t disappoint when he played a modern Devdas in Dev.D, but he did let us down in Aisha and Road. Still, audiences wait for his flashes of brilliance.

Late bloomer: Saif Ali Khan
When he arrived in Bollywood in 1992, Saif Ali Khan was seen as no more than his mama, Sharmila Tagore’s, boy, not exactly hero material. But a great performance almost 10 years later in Dil Chahta Hai made the audiences sit up and take notice. Since then Saif has blossomed into a suave and, dare we say, sexy actor. His look is a far cry from the boyish role he essayed in Dil Chahta Hai.

With the role of the rough and tough Langda Tyagi in Omkara and his romantic double role in Love Aaj Kal, Saifu has started coming into his own. Where, o where, was he all those years?

Bollywood Celebrities, Superstars, Actors, Actresses, Pictures Gallery

Bollywood Celebrities, Superstars, Actors, Actresses, Pictures Gallery:

Bollywood Celebrities

A lot about someone’s personality is reflected in their demeanor, postures and body language. Our Bollywood stars too have some of their typical poses. So, whether they do it unconsciously or intentionally, their signature poses could be interesting to an onlooker.

What does Amitabh Bachchan’s slightly agape mouth or Shahrukh Khan’s thumbs-up gesture tells us? If Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif want to feel confident and look like a diva, they generally place one hand up on the side of the hip. Yes, that’s something common between these two actresses, apart from a Kapoor lad.

Salman Khan

Salman Khan
Salman Khan’s bindaas  personality not only comes out through his clothes (or the lack of shirt) but his signature pose of keeping both the hand in his side pockets, as if saying, ‘I am ready’. He is Bollywood’s goodhearted bad boy and his signature pose clearly says: ‘don’t mess with me’.

Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor seems to be conscious in public. Is this the reason why she can’t keep her hands off her hair?

Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan could be a thinker or a philosopher, if not a filmmaker. His deep-in-thoughts, contemplative look amazes us.

Bipasha Basu

Bipasha Basu
‘Here I am, poised and dressed perfectly.’ Bipasha Basu’s pose reminds us of a school kid who has mustered courage to stand in front of an assembly.

Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan
Ever since she started wearing sarees, Vidya Balan has gained confidence. Here, she walks in elegance with her flowing pallu.

Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan
The go-getter Khan had no godfather in the industry. He is a self-made star and his enthusiasm and winning attitude shows wherever and whenever he gives thumbs-up.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif
A lady of calm demeanor, it is hard to catch Kat partying. She likes to be with herself, and whenever in public she plays safe with this stylish, diva-like pose of hers.

John Abraham

John Abraham
It wasn’t easy for model John Abraham to be a star. He is always keen on learning and is attentive too; check out his folded arms signature pose. He also seems to be a good listener.

Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan
Big B with his slightly open mouth is not a rare sight. This pose may look a bit funny as he is a child at heart and is open to various ideas.

Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone
The grace-personified Deepika Padukone’s pose is quite similar to that of Kat. It only means that both know only this way to pose, after all they were models.

Abhishek-Aishwarya

Abhishek-Aishwarya
Bryan Adams would have composed ‘Everything I Do, I Do It For You’ Part 2 after seeing these lovebirds (Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan) of Bollywood who can’t get enough of each other. It only means love, love and more love.

Shahid Kapoor And Priyanka Chopra Again Dating?

Shahid Kapoor with Priyanka Chopra Dating Again? Shahid Kapoor is reported to have spent Sunday at Priyanka Chopra's house following his return from Edinburgh, Scotland on Saturday, where he was filming Mausam.

Shahid And Priyanka

The two had other friends for company.

Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka bonded during the filming of Kaminey, but never acknowledged being anything more than friends.

Quizzed on his relationship with Priyanka in May 2009, Shahid said:

"Priyanka and I are good friends. However, people have been jumping the gun. If we take our relationship further, I may talk about it."

Later, the two reportedly drifted apart.

In April, Mid Day reported that the Kaminey co-stars had resumed their relationship.

However, Priyanka took to her Twitter account to rubbish the report.

We too thought the Mid Day report was bogus, based on nothing more than their reporters feeling that the two had sounded lovelorn on Twitter!

However, according to a Deccan Herald source, Shahid and Priyanka re-connected towards the end of last year and have kept in touch since, speaking to each other over the phone and exchanging texts.

A mutual friend of the rumored couple, Mubina Rattonsey, reportedly tweeted that she spent some quality time with her close friends on Sunday afternoon, adding fuel to the rumors.

Katrina Kaif and John Abraham will together in Romance very Soon

Katrina Kaif and John Abraham will together very Soon: If your hunger to see Katrina Kaif and John Abraham together was whetted with the duo’s onscreen romance in New York, here’s some good news. You won’t have to wait long to see them bill and coo again.

Katrina And John

The duo was set to begin shooting Dostana 2 anytime soon but the film has now been put off till 2011 because director Tarun Mansukhani isn’t happy with the script. But don’t be sad, fellas. With both John and Katrina’s dates free, director Vipul Amrutlal Shah has seized the opportunity and is set to begin his remake of the Tamil hit Kaakha Kaakha with Nishikant Kamat (of Mumbai Meri Jaan) as its director.

Vipul has already finalized John. Now, he’s pursuing Katrina to play the leading lady. Reports say Katrina has already come aboard, but we are waiting for the confirmation.

The film is an action thriller about a cop intent on wiping out crime from the city.

If John and Kat indeed pair up for this one, and for Dostana sequel next year, the fans of the two stars won’t have any complaints. Rather, that would be double delight.

Shahrukh Khan And Amitabh Bachchan together in London Premiere of Raavan

Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan MASALA Gossips: For all those who were wagging their tongues that how Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan are busy spending their time by fighting with each other can take a chill pill.

All is well between Khan and the Bachchans.

It has been reported that Amitabh asked Shahrukh to attend the London premiere of Raavan through the social networking site Twitter. That too, not once but twice.

If you are again thinking that perhaps Khan did not attend the premiere, you are wrong once again. Shahrukh, along with wife Gauri attended the event and there was no sight of rivalry anywhere.

Well we guess that the invitation and attendance of the premiere will keep off the news of rivalry between Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan, for some time atleast.

Even though celebrities often appear to be larger than life, they are human, just like all of us. They have their share of tiffs, the way we have with our friends and families but it’s simply foolish to think that they will hold on their grudges and remain rivals forever.

Even we make up with our friends, don’t we? So what’s the big deal if they fight and make up later?

Cheers to the big family of Bollywood.

Biggest Stars Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan dosen't meet together!

Aamir Khan And Shahrukh Khan News: Bollywood Actor Aamir Khan is now in the mood for some schmoozing.

And he has started by making the best use of his one year break from acting by making an effort to interact with his friends and associates from the industry during a recent trip to London.

The superstar and his wife Kiran Rao were in London last week to finalise some marketing deals for his forthcoming film Peepli Live  . During his five-day stay, Aamir met Anil Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bachchan, Parmeshwar Godrej, Ronnie Screwvala and Akshay Kumar who were also in London. Interestingly, Aamir didn't meet Shah Rukh Khan who too was in London at the same time.

A source says, "Aamir was in London on Tuesday. They left on Saturday night. During his stay, Aamir met as many friends as he could. He has never done this before. You could say that he has no time to socialise or that he simply does not socialise. He has never met so many people, that too within a week. However, this trip was different."

According to the source, on the first night, Aamir met Anil for dinner. The next day he met Parmeshwar Godrej for lunch and the following day he went to an Italian restaurant for dinner with Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan.

It was Amitabh Bachchan who wanted to take the couple out for dinner. Aamir also met Ronnie Screwvala with whom he has worked on many films. On Saturday night, Aamir boarded the same flight as Akshay who too was on his way to Mumbai. "Akshay and Aamir spoke about Bollywood, and also bonded over their kids and their education and discussed why they decided to star in certain films," says the source.

The source adds, "Considering that he met so many of his friends from the film industry, Aamir was definitely aware that SRK was also in London. But he didn't meet SRK for reasons best known to him. He was probably too busy finalising the deals for Peepli Live ." Aamir’s spokesperson confirms the news and says, "Yes, Aamir did meet all of them in London."

Shahrukh Khan and Amir Khan Bollywood Superstars with Hollywood Diva Sarah Jessica Parker

Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan And Sarah Jessica Parker: Sarah Jessica Parker, the amazing actor and diva of Hollywood, is quite attracted to the bollywood film industry.

According to reports, the star has never ever been to India, but from the stories that she’s heard from friends and acquaintances, it is one place that a person should see to know the kind of rich cultural heritage the country is bestowed with.

Sources reveal that the diva has seen quite a lot of Hindi movies, and she has expressed her amazement at the song and dance routine of these films. According to her, this factor in Indian films makes things look so larger than life and surreal. It is quite mesmerizing; at the way the stars sing, dance and basically just enjoy them selves.

However, the most attractive actors of B- town for the star are Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan; she expressed her feelings by praising these two perfect performers on screen. Sarah, has also said that these two are amazing actors.

She also admitted that if she does get an opportunity to star in any bollywood flick, then she would surely not miss the opportunity for anything under the Sun.

Aishwarya Rai Salman Khan, Priyanka Akshay - On Screen Reunited

Salman Khan And Aishwarya Rai Bachchan MASALA News: While some Bollywood on-screen couples have put the screen on fire, others have almost frozen the audience to death with their ice-cold chemistry.

Even many popular on-screen reasons for several reasons do not work afterwards in their careers and here we list some on-screen couples we would like to see reunited.

In reel-life, of course!

1) Aishwarya Rai-Salman Khan-We wish they forget the past and once again work with each other professionally. Their pairing was extremely sweet and we think that the chemistry has to be mind-blowing when two good looking people look into the eyes of each other.

2)Priyanka Chopra-Akshay Kumar-It is rumored that their on-screen chemistry got so hot that they spilled into real life also which made Akshay’s wife Twinkle declaring an ultimatum to her husband, before throwing a fit of rage.

Since then they have never met each other on screen and have always maintained a diplomatic stance on this issue.

3) Aishwarya Rai-Shahrukh Khan-They made the audiences drop tears when they craved for each other despite knowing that they can’t reunite in their lives in the film Devdas.

After that Aishwarya starred in Khan’s home production Chalte Chalte but a personal problem made Shahrukh throw her out of the film and replaced her with Rani Mukherjee.

Since then we have never seen the sizzling duo on screen again though we would love to.

Salman and Bipasha could not see eye to eye, Salman had a big showdown with John

Bipasha Basu And Salman Khan MASALA News: Bipasha Basu is mending her fences in Bollywood with inspired zeal.

After patching up with Kareena Kapoor during a recent awards show in Sri Lanka, she has taken the initiative in extending an olive branch to Salman Khan, with whom she hasn’t shared the best of relations in recent years.

Source said, “Salman and Bipasha could not see eye to eye. Salman had a big showdown with John Abraham during an overseas show some years ago.

That rivalry is still on — Salman and John are still not on talking terms.

During the shooting of Boney Kapoor’s No Entry , Salman gave a tough time to Bipasha who finally complained to Boney.

It was only because of Boney’s son Arjun that the schedule could proceed further. In Colombo, Salman threw some parties in his hotel room for his Bollywood friends and Bipasha also walked in.

Though Salman initially gave her a cold shoulder, Bipasha broke the ice. She went up to him and thanked him for the good time. Salman loosened up after that. The next day, when Bipasha came to party with them, Salman was warm towards her. That signalled the end of the five year old war between them.”

When contacted, Bipasha Basu said, “I don’t know why it is called a ‘patch up’. There have been no issues between us. I met him at the awards ceremony, where he did a fabulous job at all the events. He was very warm to me when I met him.”

Deepika Padukone Bollywood Hottie Now going to International Arena!

Deepika Padukone News: Last month, Deepika Padukone walked the red carpet at Cannes film festival. While for her, it was just a matter of few hours spent in an international arena, back home there were widespread conversations around her moment of glory.

Currently stationed in Mauritius for the shoot of Break Ke Baad, she is modest enough not to get into the details of all the calls and messages, most of which have hailed her saree clad look. Also, she avoids queries that are centred on how she virtually stole the thunder right under Aishwarya Bachchan's nose by bringing in a fresh and new touch to her styling and costume.

"It is not about who wore what, who else was there and who did what", Deepika doesn't quite bite the bait, "I went there just for myself, look my best and make the best of the time that I was there. For me, as long as I have achieved that and given 100%, it doesn't matter who else was there."

One believes though that at the back of the mind, she would have hoped for international filmmakers to catch her presence at the event. After all she was representing Bollywood and hence arc lights were bound to be directed at her. Would she have liked reaching out to global audience through this festival and perhaps look forward to some global assignments coming her way?

"Yes, Why not? If people take notice by themselves and something good comes up then why not? You should use that opportunity if it enters your doors. But if you are asking me if there were any feelers that I got right at the spot then the answer is no", laughs Deepika.

Well, while the wait for international assignments may be a little longer, closer home Deepika is super busy with multiple films in different stages of production. Before the year comes to a close, she would be seen in Ashutosh Gowariker's Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se (Abhishek Bachchan), Karan Johar's Break Ke Baad (Imran Khan) and Yash Raj Films' Lafange Parinde (Neil Nitin Mukesh).

Amitabh Bachchan biggest bollywood superstar in 'lands' in Barabanki soup

Amitabh Bachchan News: Barabanki land deals continue to haunt Amitabh Bachachan. This time focus shifts to the promised Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Girls Inter College that proved a non-starter, much to the chagrin of the villagers in the dusty little hamlet of Daulatpur, 40 km off Lucknow, despite a high profile inaugural ceremony held two years ago.

On Monday, additional chief judicial magistrate (fast track) directed Mohamadpur police to look into a complaint against the superstar filed by the village Pradhan Rajkumari Singh, who has tried tripping Bachchan second time within a year incidentally. In her complaint filed before the court, Singh has charged the actor with fraud, cheating and criminal conspiracy among slew of other serious allegations.

Bachchan is named along with six other accomplices, including daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Nishtha Foundation -- run by Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Prada and its secretary Devendra Kumar. Singh has demanded lodging of an FIR against the guilty. Taking cognizance of the matter, the court has ordered the police to probe the issue and submit its report on June 10.

The complainant accuses the actor of hatching a conspiracy to acquire land for the girls inter college by fooling the gullible villagers and gifting the same to Nishtha Foundation in an illegal manner.

Talking to TOI, Ranvir Singh, Rajkuari Singh's counsel, said that though the entire transaction regarding the promised girls college was fraudulent, the pradhan's objection mainly centred around the transfer of "gata no 711 and 793". Bachchan, he said, had given up his claims on the land in his affidavit filed before the high court in a bid to wriggle out of the land scam controversy.

"In 2006, the land was registered in the name of Vinay Kumar Shukla his `mukhtar-e-aam' (armed with power of attorney), who later sold the same to Bachchan even though he had ownership of only 1/3rd of the plot. Bachchan and others, says the complaint, was well aware of the reality still the land was transferred to Aishwarya Rai by a registered deed on September 22, 2009.

"Bachchan has been playing games all along," says Avnendra Singh, Rajkumari's son and the de facto pradhan. "Only proper investigation would reveal the extent of fraud involved in the transaction," he said and claimed that several MPs and MLAs contributed generously to the project from their official funds while others used the opportunity for getting income tax rebate.

Meanwhile, Rajkumari has no clue about her role. The illiterate village woman remained silent in the court room letting his son and lawyer take charge. Avnendra effectively ensured that she kept off media and whisked her away. Later when contacted, he claimed the pradhan had gone out of town on some urgent work.

Last October, she had approached the district magistrate, Barabanki, crying foul when Amitabh gifted the Daulatpur land to Nishta Foundation for setting up the inter college. Singh had pleaded that the land was already donated by the actor to the village council therefore the transaction was a forgery.

A five-member committee headed by SDM, Barabanki had probed the charges and give a clean chit to Bachchan on technical grounds even as the actor formally handed over the land to the foundation later on. And even as the local police begins investigations, a section of villagers have begun to question the motive behind "yet another publicity stunt by anti-Amitabh caucus".
