Ria Sen - Hot and Sexy Cleavage Show

Geetha Arts joins hands with Shahrukh Khan

In what is being seen as one of the most unique and powerful combinations, there are reports that the famous Geetha Arts banner has got into a tie up with none other than Shahrukh Khan and he would be seen in their film soon.

It is said that Allu Sirish, son of Allu Aravind will be the executive producer for this one and sources reveal that the story and other formalities have already been discussed.

Apparently, a very famous director from the South will be the director of this movie as per reports. There has been a buzz going on about Shahrukh teaming up with A M Murugadoss but no formal confirmation or announcement has been made on that end.

But if this venture happens, then it should be interesting.

Amrita Arora's dream honeymoon in Europe

How perfect is this saying in the case of the recently wedded Bollywood lass Amrita Arora. After a three day wedding ceremony, Amrita and her hubby Shakeel Ladhak have set off on the blissful path of a married life. Bollywood Hungama came across these images that shout out the idyllic life these two are currently enjoying.

Amrita and Shakeel are back from their three-week honeymoon in Europe. The ever shimmering lass describes her honeymoon as nothing but a fantastic road trip. The couple had originally planned to go to Mexico, but had to change the venue because of the civil strife there. The trip, which was entirely planned by Shakeel, started from Barcelona to Spain, Paris, Italy, Capri, Venice, Florence and London.

Amrita, who is known for being a shopoholic was for a change subdued as the trip was aimed more at exploring the cities and locals they visited. Though most of the destinations are prime shopping spots, Amrita managed to hold her resolute, and by the look of the images, we are certain that she enjoyed herself.

One thing is for sure, at the end of their honeymoon, the couple is soaring on cloud nine and we at Bollywood Hungama wish them all the luck for the years to come.

A Jhalak of Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi fame can't wait to show off her dance skills in this weekend's episode of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa.

Rajul Hegde caught up with the pretty actress during her rehearsal at Jhalak house to know what she's been up to, and whether she's signed any new films.

How does it feel to be on Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa?

It feels very good. And this is a great platform to launch the Rab Ne DVD. It is a very popular show and a big platform for us.

Do you really need to rehearse for Haule Haule, the song you'll be dancing on, on the show?

If you notice, it's Surendar Suri (Shah Rukh Khan) who dances to Haule haule in the film, not me. I performed on Dance pe. I'm dancing to a remix version of Haule Haule. Hard Kaur has rapped very nicely to it.

Jiah Khan leaves 'Yahoo' by choice

It was Jiah Khan ’s own will to leave movie Yahoo opposite Shahid Kapur , contrary to the past reports that she was removed unceremoniously from the movie.Directed by Ken Ghosh , ‘Yahoo’ had Jiah playing the female lead. But recently Genelia D'Souza stepped in her shoes. And the reasons cited were that Jiah’s presence in the movie didn’t spark that magic which the director wanted. Another rumoured reason was that Shahid was not so fond of Jiah.While Jiah herself opted out of this movie, UTV Motion Pictures, producers of ‘Yahoo’, have signed her for two other projects.

“UTV has signed me for two of their future films to be started later this year,” said the actress. And UTV’s COO Ram Mirchandani also cleared the rumours troubling Jiah. He said, “Speculations in the industry about Jiah Khan being dropped out of Ken Ghosh’s project are completely erroneous. It was a mutual decision whereby Jiah opted out of the project seeing a misfit between the character and Jiah.”


Actually when Manurishi Chadda of Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! fame joined the writer’s team of Nupur Asthana (script writer) and dialogue writer Kiran Kotriyal, certain changes were done in the script and the characterization of female lead as well. After this, both production house and Jiah Khan came to the conclusion that role didn’t suit her. “With the changes they made on the script and the character, I myself felt that I do not suit the character”, says Jiah.
However, UTV acknowledges Jiah’s talent and acting skills and is in a process to start soon the projects with her.

Bipasha Basu Looking Sexy on this Month's Filmfare Magazine

As if Bipasha Basu wasn't sexy enough; she just heated things up a little more. The actress that everyone recognizes and knows to be one of the hottest in the business has finally appeared in quite possibly one of her sexiest roles.

You can find Bipasha Basu unabashedly posing on the April 2009 issue of Filmfare Magazine. She looks absolutely gorgeous and stylish with perfect make-up and hair style to just the right place. The photo spread that Bipasha Basu took part in features her in different styles. This included everything from a bikini top on the cover to summer clothes inside the magazine.

Bipasha Basu is a busy woman, but she commented on the magazine spread saying "Since it is summer now, we worked on a typical hot look. It is a team effort. I hope people find this cover exciting and hot, the way it is meant to be, just like the tag line, "Some like it Hot!" Whether or not Bipasha Basu lives up to the Marilyn Monroe ideal of 'Some Like it Hot' is to be argued, but she gets pretty damn close if not hitting the nail on the head.

So we want to know what you think of the Bollywood starlet baring herself in this way. We know that in the past controversy has been created out of nothing; so we wonder if Bipasha Basu is going to draw a backlash from her sexy cover shoot. We want you to decide and tell us if her recent series of pictures in Filmfare Magazine are too hot to handle or just the right level of heat.

That's why we have a video that features Bipasha Basu and gives you an inside look at the photos. We want to know if you think she looks as sexy as possible or if you would have preferred to see someone else in the "hot seat". Give us your thoughts on Bipasha Basu's risque cover with Filmfare Magazine. We can't wait to hear from all of our readers on this month's issue.

Adhyayan loves Kangana sans make-up

Some say that Ranaut just doesn’t ‘run out’ of hip-hep-n-happening outfits, most of which she picks herself. Now, kudos to that! But boyfriend Adhyayan Suman isn’t too crazy about the fashionista that’s Kangana Ranaut.

“He loves me when I am at home – when I’m myself, chilled out, when my hair isn’t in place and I am dressed in a simple pyjamas and a T-shirt, or jeans, without make-up. He isn’t too complimenting when I have to play the prim and proper actress... you know when I wear all that make-up and dress appropriately,” says Kangs with a smile. So most dates are ‘home run’ rather than the out bound wine and dine for this fresh couple.

Asin showers praise on Aamir Khan

Asin has been showering praise on Aamir Khan ever since she worked with the superstar in her first Bollywood fil Ghajini. The film has been among the most successful Indian film in recent decades and was the biggest grosser at the box office.

Aamir is a perfectionist from the very beginning and has given preference to quality over quantity. For several years he did only one film a year to maintain quality. His only release in 1996 was the Dharmesh Darshan directed commercial blockbuster Raja Hindustani in which he was paired opposite Karisma Kapoor. He maintained this policy for next several years.

The way he worked hard to attain the sort of eight pack body he has shown his commitment to his work. Aamir proved himself yet again with his chiseled physique for the character of a psycho killer. But even after his amazing body being the unique selling point (USP) of the film, the one thing that gripped me to the promos was the deadly expression in his eyes.

His trademark and something that only he in the entire Indian film industry possesses-is perfection, be it acting or his body.

Before the launch of the film he himself explained as to how he worked on his film: “All the 2 years of planning, preparation, creative discussions, the struggle to shoot the film and the sleepless nights of post production ultimately culminate in a 3 hour experience in the darkness of a cinema hall…This time around it is a remake of a Tamil film so I am especially anxious.

Ghajini was a huge success in the South and Surya had done an excellent job in the original. I hope that I have been able to do justice to the film. Am especially awaiting Surya’s response as he was the one who went out of his way to convince me that I suit the role”.

Am guilty of not being able to read the responses for my last post this time around, as I have been just too busy. In fact the last couple weeks have been too hectic and as a result of the exhaustion and excitement I’m down with fever so am lying in bed as I write this.
While the film releases on the 25th all over I believe in some Cinemas it actually opens for Paid Previews on the evening of 24th. So I will be eagerly awaiting your response 24th evening onwards. Wont miss a single post.

He goes on to say, “Just before any of my films release I go into pendulum mode. One sec I feel very optimistic about the film and the next I’m sure no one’s going to like it. I lose my smile my appetite, my sleep. On the whole I am listless and walk around like a zombie. VVC (Vidhu Vinod Chopra), who was talking to me yesterday, accurately described it as Prenatal Depression. The film is about to be delivered and will be out of our systems so to speak. Then it will have a life of its own which we have absolutely no control over”.

Whoever works with Aamir admires him. The same happened with Asin. She says about Aamir, "I think he is cool, he is genuine and he is simple. This is what I admire a lot about him."
Asin further says, “I am very fortunate that I have begun my Bollywood journey with an actor like Aamir”.

Jiah Khan dropped, Genelia on board

Jiah Khan’s star value moved up after Ghajini released. The actress bagged the Ken Gosh-directed Yahoo as a result. However, things turned sour for the actress, as she has been dropped from the project.

Genelia is touted to replace her, if sources are to be believed.
According to the grapevine, Jiah’s close proximity to Ken developed into a friendship. Taking advantage of this, the actress is said to have behaved unruly on the sets of Yahoo, which irked Ken.

However, other sources say that Ken was not happy after watching the trial rushes and decided that a replacement is a must.

Deepika talks about the mystery man

In this dark phase of Bollywood, where there's no new film releasing due to the ongoing strike, the cover photo of Deepika Padukone in the latest issue of M, comes as a breath of fresh air.

The Om Shanti Om girl gives an insight of what the real-life Deepika is all about! Deepika talks about her 'normal' childhood, that 'special man' (not Ranbir) who never failed to impress her even once (and no it's not Ranbir).


Well, read on more to find Deepika's take on sexy woman, arm candy, money, fame and yes the 'secret of being sexy'.

If you really want to know the difference between the 'reel-life' Deepika and the 'real-life' Deepika, then, this issue of M is a M-ust!

Bebo goes super trendy in Kambakkht Ishq

Few years back, divas like Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi would set sensational fashion statements with every film. Now, it’s none other than uber-glam Kareena Kapoor, who aspires to bring fashion revolution with every film.
The Kapoor beauty, who endorses many apparel brands, has a unique style and exudes oomph and confidence onscreen.
And, the actress is ready to prove that she is the unrivalled fashion goddess with new film ‘Kambakkht Ishq’, in which she is sporting a stylish look.
Bebo is playing a supermodel in ‘Kambakkht Ishq’, directed by Sajid Nadiadwala. Designer Aki Narula has created the costumes for Kareena’s super hot look.
Talking about the apparels to a news daily, the designer said, ``Kareena has chosen a lot of mismatches this time so as to make it look more real.
The clothes are not over the top as seen in Hindi films. But it`s a big trend that`s catching on and looks very real on screen.``
Kareena also chirped, ``Everything in ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ is a style statement because I play a supermodel on the film. And though it is a hardcore commercial film, I have consciously chosen non-filmy clothes.`` Aki Narula has sourced her clothes from Milan. ``It took me 15 days to find the right kind of clothes for Kareena. She wanted the costumes to sync well with her character.`` So gals, get ready for a Bebo’s fashion revolution!

Ken Ghosh prefers Genelia over Jiah

It's high time for Nishabd girl Jiah Khan to wake up and smell the coffee, if she wants to continue in Bollywod.
According to reports, the actress has been replaced by Jaane Tu... girl Genelia D'Souza in Ken Ghosh's Yahoo.
A source informs that Ken Ghosh decided to sign Jiah while shooting for Ghajini, thinking that she will have star value after the film's release.
His hunch was right, the film worked well at the box-office, but he was in for disappointment when he saw the trial rushes of Yahoo.
Presumably, Ken didn't like Jiah's work in the trial rushes of the film and he decided to drop her. He also offered the film to Katrina and Kangna, but they weren't interested. Finally, it is Genelia D'Souza who has been finalised for the role.
However, rumour mill suggests otherwise. Apparently, Ken Ghosh and Jiah Khan got friendly on the sets of the film Yahoo and the differences began to crop up after 60 per cent of the film was shot. Taking the friendship with Ken for granted, Jiah started turning up late on the sets. She also threw tantrums and made unusual demands.
Ghosh reached his saturation point when Jiah openly laughed at the debacle of his last film Fida. Jiah has apparently managed to upset Aamir Khan and Shahid Kapur on previous occasions. Oh Jiah, that's some attitude from a new kid on the block!
