Arunoday Singh and Aditi Rao have broken Mallika Sherawat’s onscreen kissing record by kissing 22 times in Sudhir Mishra’s upcoming film Yeh Saali Zindagi. In the film Arunoday and Aditi play the role of a lead couple, who are based outside Delhi. They share the screen space with Irrfan Khan and Chitrangada Singh.

Director Sudhir Mishra believes that a kiss is an aesthetic and natural expression of love than hip-shaking. However, he has had to do away with kissing scenes in the past as the actors have been reluctant.

“Aditi and Arunodoy play a young couple based in Delhi. They kiss every time they quarrel. And they quarrel a lot,” says Mishra.

The censor board is already upset over the film’s title, is surely not going to take the smooches gently.

“I am not bothered. If the censors think kissing is evil, I’ll ask them to get a reality check. We can’t manage with flowers quivering on screen. The audience will guffaw at us!” says Mishra.

Farha’s lucky mascot is Salman Khan..

Filmmaker Farah Khan has found a new best friend in Salman Khan. So much so, she considers Salman to be her lucky mascot!

Farah says, “Salman and I have appeared on each other’s TV shows more than seven times (Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, Dus Ka Dum, Big Boss, Tere Mere Beach Mein, Dance India Dance and a couple more).
While the films Salman promoted on my shows (Wanted and Dabangg) went on to become superhits, he has been my lucky mascot as my team does very well whenever he comes. We are lucky for each other.”

Last week, Salman and Farah met up for the eighth time on Sony TV’s Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, where Farah is a judge along with Anu Malik.

Reveals Farah, “This is the third year in a row that he’s come on the show. Salman had come to promote Ready and bought home-cooked khaana (mutton curry and rajma-chaawal) for all of us.

I have not seen Salman dance like that in ages! He made Anu Malik do Bharat Natyam. There were some very talented people including a guy eating rasagullas and dancing at the same time.

There was a four-year-old Sardar boy who made Salman dance to Dhinka chika from Ready and knew all his films’ dialogues by heart. Salman loved him and hit the floor with him.”

Why are Hrithik and Suzzane disappointed???

Hrithik Roshan and wife Sussanne Roshan attended the Filmfare Awards on Saturday night expecting to take home a trophy for Best Actor for a stellar performance in Guzaarish. Sadly, it was not to be.

Adding to their disappointment, the show’s hosts Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan enacted a spoof on Guzaarish. Imran dressed up as Hrithik while Ranbir mimicked Aishwarya Rai.

With a feeling of disappointment, the Roshans left early.

Shahrukh Khan won the Best Actor (Popular Choice) for his role in My Name Is Khan. And the Critics’ Choice Best Actor statuette was bagged by Rishi Kapoor for his role in the small-budget film Do Dooni Chaar.

Clearly, it wasn’t a night to enjoy for Hrithik. The actors Guzaarish may not have been fulfilled, but he turned up for the event with wife Suzanne looking like a winner.

Sussanne later expressed her disappointment on Twitter: “Just came back from Filmfare. Sometimes in life we get what we don’t deserve…makes it difficult to understand what’s the logic in all this.”

Shah Rukh Khan and Sourav Ganguly are rivals???

Shah Rukh Khan and Sourav Ganguly are rivals???

Shah Rukh Khan recently invited Sourav Ganguly to a party hosted at his home Mannat. Cricketers from Pune Warriors and Deccan Chargers were on the guest list. But an invite to Ganguly (who now plays for Pune) was particularly seen as SRK’s way of mending fences with the Kolkata batsmen who was unceremoniously dropped from KKR this year.

But guess what, Ganguly did not turn up for the party.

A lot of celebs from Bollywood came, like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Sonali Bendre and a good number of cricketers too. But Ganguly was nowhere in sight.

Guess Ganguly hasn’t forgotten the snub he got from Shahrukh at the time of player selection for this season of IPL. Now a snub from Dada has made the score even.

Jacqueline is not unaware that there would comparisons drawn with Mallika Sherawat.

“We all know what ‘Murder’ did for Mallika… It’s natural that people will make comparisons and it’s also natural that it will make me quite nervous and put me under pressure,”

Brett Lee embarrasses Deepika padukone!!!

Brett Lee embarrasses Deepika padukone!!!

Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Brett Lee is a die hard fan of Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone.

At the party hosted by Shahrukh Khan at his residence Mannat on Monday, Deepika sure did manage to grab a lot of attention. So did Priyanka Chopra who came along with Sonali Bendre and Goldie Behl.

But more than anyone, it was Brett Lee, the Aussie hunk, who seemed to be in a mood to flirt with Deepika. We hear that he sang songs throughout the night and dedicated them to the sloe-eyed brunette.

Lee, apart from a cricketer, is also a musician and plays bass guitar and sings.

Deepika was a tad embarrassed by all the attention that was showered on her by Lee. But she took all his flirtations like a sport. Shahrukh too was amused.

Deepika rejects directors film without even talking to her on phone…

Deepika Padukone’s year may be choc-a-bloc with films but she should at least hear out directors before slamming the door on them.
A few days ago, Deepika rejected Kalpana Lajmi’s film without once talking to her, forget reading the script.

Lajmi, the director of Rudaali (1993), whose last film Chingaari, starring Sushmita Sen hit the theatres in 2006, has been struggling for quite some time to put a project together.

A source says, “Lajmi called up Deepika’s secretary who told her in the first call that Deepika won’t do the film since she had no dates. Lajmi was willing to wait till Deepika had dates but was shocked at her secretary’s refusal.”

Two months after Lajmi spoke to Deepika’s secretary, the actress texted her saying that she can’t do her film, as she is not free until 2012. “The message was polite. But Lajmi is wondering why an actress would turn a film down even before speaking to the director,” adds the source.

When contacted, Lajmi said, “I was ready to wait till Deepika was free. It is sad that today’s heroines are busy only in image-building exercises. They forget that it is the medium of cinema and nothing else that makes them popular.”

Though the actress stayed out of this, her manager said, “We would love to work with a senior director like Lajmi but unfortunately, there are only 365 days in a year. We had committed our dates. Hence we decided to be upfront about it and not keep her hanging.”

I know Hrithik and his family. We are family friends. I asked his parents if we could get him involved in this programme in any way.”

Dr Pai continues, “Hrithik not only agreed to be the face of the SHMF scheme for children, but also donated R 15 lakh for the heart operation and post-operative care of 10 children who registered in the scheme.”

Says the doc, “Lakhs of children are born in India with heart defects.

Because of lack of proper infrastructure and financial assistance, most die before their first birthday. Nearly eight in every thousand children are born with a congenital heart defect.

Through this scheme, poor parents won’t have to run from pillar to post for their children’s medical treatment. We want to reach out to people in a big way and so Hrithik’s hoardings will be all over India.”

The heart surgery of each baby costs a lakh and a half rupees and Hrithik donated the amount immediately so these operations could take place as soon as possible.

Raj Kiran is very much alive…

Raj Kiran is very much alive…

The ‘Karz’ famed actor Raj Kiran, who went missing from the tinsel ville all these years, was recently traced by friend and co-worker Rishi Kapoor in a mental asylum in Atlanta.

Raj Kiran, known for playing the previous incarnation of the character of Rishi Kapoor in director Subhash Ghai’s film Karz, or who strummed the guitar and with limpid eye expressions crooned the soothing and thought-provoking song “Tum itna jo muskura rahi ho, kya gham hai jisko chhupa rahi ho” in director Mahesh Bhatt’s Arth, has been missing for about a decade now.

Since Raj Kiran has been missing for such a long time, it’s hard to piece together the reasons for his mental decline, but reports suggest the actor is suffering from mental depression, as his near and dear ones including his wife and son had abandoned him.

Last, he was seen driving a cab. After that he just disappeared for many years altogether, and was even presumed dead, but his colleagues Rishi Kapoor and Deepti Naval did not lose hope.

A few weeks back, Naval even posted on her Facebook page: “Looking for a friend from the film world his name is Raj Kiran – we have no news of him – last heard he was driving a cab in NY city if anyone has any clue, please tell . . .”

But it was Rishi Kapoor who showed remarkable gumption on his trip to the US and traced one of Raj Kiran’s brothers and got to know about the actor’s whereabouts. Rishi says he would visit Raj Kiran in Atlanta soon and will try to bring him back to Mumbai so that he can restart his acting career and have a normal life again. Many folks from the film industry hope the same.

Asin’s golden heart….

Asin’s golden heart….

Following the footsteps of her senior and co-actor Salman Khan, Asin has become very soft hearted towards the needy. We hear that, Asin, recently helped her maid with Rs 4 lakh to buy a house for herself.

A source who witnessed Asin’s large-heartedness recently said, “Asin’s maid who has been working for her since four to five years wanted to buy a house in Goregaon and the actress had promised her all the help she could, including money. And that she did, giving her as much as four lakh rupees!”

The maid confirmed the news and added, “My ‘memsaab’ is very kind hearted. She not only pays me well but helps me with money whenever I need it for my household expenses or children’s medical aid.”

The very shocked Asin questioned back, “How did you get the news? Who is your source?” Initially the humble actress refused to comment but after a little coaxing she accepted that she does charity regularly. She said, “I keep helping the poor and the needy as and when I can, and that is not a big deal. I do not like to discuss this as I don’t do it for publicity.”

Sanjay Dutt’s film, Satte Pe Satta remake has been postponed to 2012. Hence, Madhuri Dixit might not be able play her role in the film. The film shooting was supposed to go on floors by mid June.

According to popular tabloid, since, Sanju plays the role of a bad man in the currently filming Agneepath, his look has totally been changed. In Satte Pe Satta, Dutt reprises Amitabh Bachchan’s headlining role and needs to have normal length hair.

Says a source, “Sanjay Dutt has shaved his hair for a film. He needs to grow it back and for that he needs at least two months. They wanted to start in September-October when Sanjay’s hair is back in place. But by then Madhuri will be shooting for the next season of the reality-show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. So by the time Sanjayji will be ready to shoot Madhuriji’s dates will be unavailable.”

Madhuri also cast a doubt about her participation in the film when she tweeted on May 28:

“No films signed yet, but several under consideration….”

So as of now, Satte Pe Satta is back to not having a female lead… :(

Kangna Ranaut imitates Jaya Bachchan’s retro widow look…

Kangna Ranaut imitates Jaya Bachchan’s retro widow look…

Indra Kumar’s next will bring back the retro Bollywood widow. Yes! Double Dhamaal will have Kangna Ranaut play a character inspired by Jaya Bachchan’s role in Sholay.

Says a source from sets, “The quintessential widow form Sholay is back with Kangana in DD.
Inspired by Sholay’s iconic vidhwaah (widow), played by Jaya Bachchan, the director has styled KR in a similar look for one of the scenes in the film.

Instead of wearing normal clothes required for the scene, the director told the stylists to give Kangana an old white saree, just like the ones widows in old films wore.”

Indra Kumar confirms, “It is a spoof a funny scene all in good humor. We are not making fun of or passing derogatory remarks on Jayaji and Sholay.

It’s just that in earlier times all widows were stereotyped. They wore white sarees and would only cook gajar ka halwa and alu parathas for their mothers.

The particular scene, with all the other actors, is a spoof where she is in a widow’s garb with minimal make-up. In the film, she plays a modern, smart and sexy young secretary to Sanjay Dutt.”

Did AR Rahman bribe the Academy officials???

The year 2009 saw the Indian composer A R Rahman win two Oscars in a row on the same night. That was one of the proudest moments for we Indians. But now, Bollywood music director, Esmail Darbar has accused Oscar-winning composer of bribing Academy officials and of stealing compositions.

At a recent press conference in Nagpur, Ismail Darbar went on to say that A R Rahman did not deserve the Oscars for his score in Slumdog Millionaire. Darbar has gone on to claim to a tabloid that the Oscar winning song “Jai Ho!” is not Rahman’s composition but has been stolen by him.

“Rahman is a very good businessman, he knows how to handle his public relations. I will yet again say that he has bought the Oscar,” Darbar was quoted as saying.

“I have proof that Jai Ho is not his. It has been done by someone else. All the big film-makers like Subhash Ghai, Mani Ratnam know about it,” he added.

In response Rahman, who likes to keep a low profile, has politely denied having bought the Oscars.
