Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Farah Khan thinks SRK and Salman Khan are taking it a little too far with their fight and is willing to be a go-between to bring the two big Khans together.
SRK recently made up with Aishwarya ending a seven-year-old tiff, and will probably do a movie with her soon, but I have my doubts if Salman ever wants to make up with any of his foes. And, by the way, Salman was the reason for the SRK-Ash stand-off, too.
Sallu makes enemies quickly and most of them perish. But it takes an SRK to weather the wrath of Sallu Bhai. Plus good businessmen that they both are, they are no doubt cashing in on their feud at the box office and elsewhere.
For example, Sallu’s Wanted is out in the halls and he can do with all the publicity he can get. That may be the real reason why he didn’t have any qualms appearing on Farah’s talk show Tere Mere Beach Mein, which is partly produced by Shah Rukh’s Red Chillies Entertainment!
Is it too late for these two to work out their differences? Or is there something else at play besides holding on to grudges? Could it be that it makes better business sense for these aging Bollywood bad boys to remain enemies because it keeps them both in the tabloid headlines? Seems that way in spite of Farah Khan‘s silly plan to score points as a ‘do gooder’.

Bollywood filling up with also-rans: Ekta Chaudhary’s the latest
Filed under : Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Celina Jaitley, Diya Mirza, Ekta Chaudhary, Om Puri, Priyanka Chopra, Sushmitha Sen
Ekta Chaudhary’s mom thinks her baby didn’t win the pageant because this year’s preference was for blondes. I don’t know what she based her research on, but Stefania Fernandez doesn’t look blonde from any angle to me.
Ekta simply doesn’t have ‘it’. And it’s not just me saying so. She’d find it difficult to be remembered with clothes off, not to speak of her impending doom with her clothes on.
Ekta’s career plan looked something like this about a week ago:
Miss Universe crown = Hollywood + New York
It’s now been humbly realigned to:
No crown = Bollywood (hopefully) + amchi Mumbai; else, drown.
But, girl, I should tell you: Bollywood’s really no place for losers. If anything, it’s a far more competitive and cruel place than your ramp. Aishwarya and Sushmitha have made it alright, but not before they had their (more than) fair share of flops. Also, do remember that they were not also-rans.
Among the other beauty queens, no one’s doing half as well as Priyanka Chopra, with Dia Mirza popping up now and then from God-knows-where and Celina Jaitley being remembered mostly as ’smooch queen’.
Moral of the story: we don’t need no bag-of-skin-and-bones models. If we want wooden faces, we have Om Puri (whom you could never ever match up to in the acting department, which is movies used to be about anyway!).

While the whole world is struggling to cope up with the deadly H1N1 virus, there are actually people who are more worried about Aishwarya’s occasional sneezing.
After father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan, made a big deal about her flu in his blog, messages started pouring in from all corners of the world (or so she claims!). So much so that Aishwarya’s phone crashed. Well, yes Aishwarya, being the daughter-in-law of the first family of Bollywood does have its perks. Even if that means that you need to buy a new phone every time you sneeze.
PS: Ash seems to have it all – a great career, loving hubby and a doting father in law! A certain Karishma may be wondering about what could have been!

Ram Gopal Verma was recently reported to have said that Karan Johar’s movies are quite realistic.
Yes, you heard me right. That was RGV talking about KJo’s movies.
No, he’s fine, thank you. (We act this way sometimes on the eve of a movie release. You have to do and say outrageous things, even hang corpses, when there’s a Friday glaring at you.)
And, apparently, RGV’s change of heart about KJo’s films happened after he attended Abhi and Aish’s wedding. He says,
“For a long time I detested Karan’s larger-than-life, feel-good, glossy movies. I found them too ostentatious, coming as I did from a lower middle-class background. I found all the razzmatazz and the shoo-shaa all very unrealistic. But I was forced to change my viewpoint after I attended the Abhishek-Aishwarya shaadi. I saw exactly the same grand visual and a larger-than-life event at their wedding, that’s when I realised that Karan is far closer to reality than I am (at least in portraying the upper-middle class society).”
Hmm, I’d love to believe RGV, but it’s hard to take his words at face value. Was he still being his snide self in implying that KJo’s movies are meant only for a niche audience? (Oh God, writing about celebs makes you such a non-believer?!)
*Wink* KJo, you better return the love and have nice things to say about Agyaat. *Wink*

If Saif kisses SRK, what will Bebo do?
Filed under : Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Saif Ali Khan, Shah Rukh Khan
My sources tell me that Aishwarya, Abhishek, and Saif were the original choices for Dostana, but Saif backed out because he didn’t want to be overshadowed by the big Bs. Understandable, Chote Nawab. He’s also said that gay roles are cool with him and he would kiss a man, (even Shah Rukh Khan?), if he had to. That’s kinda cool, eh, Bebo? Maybe you could check out Priyanka when Saif is thus occupied?
Which brings me to the question… when will Bollywood have a lesbian version of Dostana? My guess is, we’re still too tame for that. Whadya say?

Initially it was health problems that affected Ash’s and Abhishek’s shooting schedule. First it was ace director Mani Ratnam’s bad health that caused a shooting schedule for Raavan to be pushed back and then it was director Abhinav Deo’s wife who was taken ill later, causing the rescheduling of the film Crooked (soon to be renamed before release).
As if all this is not enough, while shooting for the multi-million budget film Raavan, Ash and Abhishek were checking out on the elephant which was to make a guest appearance in the film, which unfortunately turned into a villain running berserk, killing even its mahout.
It nearly went on a stampede and the Bachchans and Mani Ratnam were in a hide out, until people came to their rescue which was after ten long hours in the jungle. Now, it proves one thing- the cock and bull stories of the bollywood hero shooing away even a berserk elephant just with one fiery sight can now be proved utter nonsense.
Well, haathi bhaiyya, is that what you wanted to convey?? Anyways, lets pray the lovely duo get some respite from their jinxed past and get back to work as soon as possible…no more adventures please!!!!

Talk of quality time, boy. Aish and Abhi sure got some recently when they were checking out an elephant with Mani Ratnam. The jumbo it seems went berserk and all three had to hide in the jungle until help arrived.
I’m just wondering who exactly made the elephant mad… Aish? Abhi? Or, God forbid, Mani Ratnam?
I’d also give my left arm to know how Abhishek reacted then. Did the macho man ask the jumbo to f**k off or was he in search of the tallest tree in the vicinity? Who was braver? Abhi or Mani Ratnam? Aish, perhaps?
