Genelia D'Souza

When he took on the cameo in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, I was pleasantly surprised. Usually star bachchas want to arrive on the big screen with full fanfare, band baaja, etc., and here was Prateik Babbar, the son of India’s finest actors Raj Babbar and the late Smita Patil, who debuted in a minor, yet distinct role.

Pratiek did his part pretty well as Genelia’s quirky brother. And, I thought, this guy cares more for the acting part of it, than the ’star’ part of it, especially because another youngster Imraan Khan was also debuting and he was the focus of the movie.

But now I hear that Prateik ditched Chandraprakash Dwivedi after talking to him about a role in a period flick. Instead, his next movie will now be with big banner Sanjay Leela Bhansali in My Friend Pinto. I’m forced to do a rethink on Prateik. Maybe he’s not really like his mom after all, who had her share of big banners, too, of course, but never shied away from a small-budget or hatke movie, if the role was meaty enough.

Well, there can only be on Smita Patil, so I guess it’s too much to expect her son to be like her. But given that Mr Dwivedi knows his history well, Jr Babbar might have passed up a chance to do something different and establish himself as a genuine actor rather than a common place tinsel star with mass appeal and no substance. I’m disappointed because with such an impressive film family pedigree, one would have expected better from him.

Poor Asin, she’s feeling a little blue because of her best friend’s departure to the US. Such a sad story and I would cry for her too if it weren’t for the fact that Asin’s has herself got into this misery.

If it weren’t for her tantrums, maybe she would have been well liked in the Bollywood circles and would have not wasted anytime replacing her now-departed best friend with a new one from Tinsel Town. But no, not Ms. Thottukmal. She would rather bitch around about other co-stars.

Her attitude has already got her on the wrong side of Genelia D’souza, a rising star who’s shining pretty bright, if I might add. After she closed that door for herself, she also went ahead and offended Salman Khan! Not a smart movie honey. Now not only will the upcoming stars keep you at bay, even the established ones won’t look your way anymore.

When you act with such arrogance and insensitivity Asin, no one will want to be around you and you will end up disliked and utterly alone. Maybe you might want to rethink your stupid attitude and learn to be more accommodating to others.

Sanjay Khan wants to do a mega budget movie to launch beta Zayed into the premier league of Bollywood.

Ho-hum.

Zayed… baby, you had everything going for you. A ‘Khan’ last name and a family full of connections: papa Sanjay Khan, bro-in-law Hrithik Roshan, cousin Fardeen Khan, even a movie with SRK, the biggest Khan of ‘em all.

If all this padding up didn’t work for you, maybe God is trying to say something? If you have hearing problems, we can help. The message is: Bollywood’s no place for bacchas. Grow up, kid, or go away.

Just after this kindergarten update, I stumbled on some news, which I think Zayed, and many starlets like him could do well considering.

Genelia D’Souza was as much a reason for Jaane Tu… Yaa Jaane Na’s success as was Imraan Khan. But, he gained more mileage than her from the movie, because that’s how the world works.

Yet, Geenu is fighting back, with Life Partner releasing this Friday and two more lined up: one with Shahid Kapoor and the other with John Abraham. Great going girl!!

Something tells me this one will be difficult to shake off. She’s got ‘IT’, and she knows that.
