Finally Hrithik Roshan gives in to his doctors’ advice and has headed off to Singapore for 6 weeks to heal his injured knee.
To be known that junior Roshan had torn the ligament of his right knee but inspite of his doctor and physiotherapist’s instructions, he continued to work without taking rest. First Hrithik had his schedules for ‘Jodha Akbar’ and then he completed his ads commitments.
As a result, the knee did not get enough rest to recuperate and hence now the situation is such that it has become essential for him to put all the work on back burner and go abroad for complete treatment. In fact his new movie shoot has also been delayed because of the treatment.
Says Hrithik, “While working towards fulfilling my commitments to all my work - ads and film, I did not much care about my knee pain and have neglected my doctors advise to not put any stress on it and take complete rest if I wanted it to heal. I am giving my health a prior importance now, so that none of my further commitments suffer in the near future,” says the truly committed star.
Our Best Wishes to you, Hrithik. Get well soon!!
Jhanu Barua’s ‘Har Pal’ turned out to be a wonderful experience for Preity Zinta and Isha Koppikar, as both of them found a new friend in each other. The film too portrays both of them as close friends on-screen.
During the shooting, Isha had problem in staying awake for her night schedules and it was Preity who offered to help Isha by keeping her awake while chatting with her. Both the actresses even shared their lunch boxes.
Isha says, “Preity is a very nice girl and she has a lot of masala for entertainment. We have decided that we will stay in touch even after the shooting is over.” As for Preity, she says that she would have married Isha if she was a boy.
On the last day of the shooting both the actresses hugged each other and exchanged gifts to say goodbye. Preity gifted her favorite Coco channel perfume to Isha. She believes Isha would always remember her because of this gift.
Hygiene matters for our ladies
There was a time when Aishwarya (Rai) Bachchan had made SRK wash his mouth ‘n’ number of times before she allowed him to spit water on her face for a shot in ‘Josh’. Now, Neha Dhupia did a ditto. The lady made her co-star wash his hands four to five times because the scene required her to lick his hand.
“I am very particular about personal hygiene. So when the directed wanted me to lick my co-star’s hand, I told him to wash it thoroughly,” laughs the gorgeous gal. When asked about the name of the guy, she said with her catty smile, “Kill the suspense. You will get to see the scene as soon as the film is released.”
Soha Ali Khan A Master At International Relations
Bollywood star Soha Ali Khan, daughter of the star couple Sharmilla Tagore and Manssor Ali Khan Pataudi, is qualified with a master’s degree in International relations from London School of Economics and Political Science.
Before starting a career in acting she worked as a finance Professional in Citibank.
Her mother Sharmilla Tagore who was a great actress herself did not want Soha to act in movies.
She feels her daughter is best suited in the corporate field, rather than the field of acting.
“My mother will always want me to do something else,” Soha said. “She still sometimes tries to convince me how finance was better for me and that I should have made a career out of it.”
Maybe mama tried to convince Soha saying “Soha you can use all your acting skills, while convincing your client for a financial deal” and Soha must have convinced her mama saying “I can use all my financial knowledge, in managing the loads of money that I get from acting.”
Boney's Salman starrer is almost ready
By Subhash K. Jha, Mumbai, Dec 10 : Two of Boney Kapoor's productions are being readied for release in the second half of 2008 - one of them has Salman Khan in the lead and the director is looking for an apt title for the movie.
"The Salman starrer which we earlier titled 'Wanted Dead And Alive' is now without a name. We've completed the entire talkies portion in Hyderabad last week. Now only four songs remain to be filmed," Boney told IANS.
The "No Entry" star plays a cop in the movie, which is a Hindi remake of the Tamil hit "Pokhiri". Other than Salman, Ayesha, Om Puri and Mahesh Manjrekar play important roles in it.
Salman had a turbulent year because of his court cases, but Boney says he never lost confidence in him.
"Even the legal hassles never bothered me. Contrary to rumours my film never got delayed because of Salman. We've been moving ahead on schedule. Salman has been extremely cooperative."
Boney's other production, featuring Nana Patekar and Harman Baweja and directed by Anees Bazmi, is also nearing completion.
"Again there's no title for the film. We like to create an aura of mystery around our projects."
What about the woman in Boney's life? When does wife Sridevi intend to make a come back?
"Trust me, I'm as anxious about Sri's comeback as all her fans. Why wouldn't I want to utilise such talent and beauty from my own home? But we can't put her in any project. The script has to justify Sri's presence. And we're working on it."
Heading towards his 60’s, Sudhir Mishra is now getting mellow in his work. For now, Sudhir Mishra has had enough hard-hitting political dramas. "Khoya Khoya Chand is my most intensely romantic film to date. I've tried to put aside the dark brooding political parable of Hazaron Khwaishein Aisi. My biggest problem here was how do I enter the film industry as it existed in the 1950’s?"
Her sweet and delicate presence in her last release "Ahista Ahista" was built on her image of an unspoilt beauty in pursuit of life's mysteries, but Soha Ali Khan is keen to change that by doing funny and dark roles.
Bollywood actor Esha Deol, whose last releases "Cash" and "Darling" sank without a trace at the box-office, says she has become selective about picking up projects.
Ad-maker R. Balakrishnan's first feature film "Cheeni Kum" got resounding critical acclaim and decent commercial success. But Balki, as he is popularly known, is now writing his second film titled "Pa" featuring the Bachchan father-son duo.
Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who has her bag full of projects along with marital responsibilities to shoulder, says she takes up only those projects which she can handle.
It seems newly wed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is enjoying herself completely, as the Bollywood actor strongly recommends the institution of marriage to everyone.
