Is President Putin Getting Married?

 

Russian president Vladimir Putin, known for keeping his private life out of public gaze barring a bare-chested hunting photo or two, is to marry a gymnast less than half his age, a news report said on Thursday.
Moscow is ablaze with rumours that Putin, 56, and the flexible 24-year-old Alina Kabayeva have decided to tie the knot, Daily Telegraph of Britain reported.

Alina Kabayeva , the Russian MP rumoured to be President Putin’s love interest, was born in 1983 in Tashkent. She represented Russia at both the Sydney and Athens Olympic Games. She has also appeared in an action film and posed in daring photographs as a model.

Kabayeva has made it to parliament as a member of Putin’s Unified Russia Party, became deputy head of the State Duma Committee on Youth Affairs and chaired the supervisory board of the National Media Group, Russia’s new media-holding owned by Yury Kovalchuk, who is a close friend of the Putins.

The London daily quoted the Russian newspaper Moskovski Korrespondent as saying that the couple are to marry mid-June, a little more than a month after the Kremlin boss steps down as Russian president.

One website even claimed that the pair had been seen kissing in a Moscow restaurant, the report said.

Russian newspapers went so far as to compare the potential union with the wedding of French president Nicolas Sarkozy with former supermodel Carla Bruni.

The Kremlin, however, has kept mum on the reports while Kabayeva’s spokeswoman denied the rumours and said the former gymnast and Playboy model would sue the paper if a retraction was not published.

Though the former KGB spy has not officially announced the separation from his 50-year-old wife, Ludmilla, he is reported to have split from her two months ago, the report said. La Repubblica, another Russian paper, however, said Putin had divorced his wife at a registry office in his home town of St Petersburg, where the marriage reception is reportedly planned.

The Koresspondent had published the rumours, citing a party planner in St Petersburg who claimed to be bidding to organize the couple’s lavish wedding reception.

Amitabh And Aishwarya-Dont Take It Other Way

Katrina Kaif In Sexy SLICE AD (VIDEO)

Shaadi Is Boring Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor is among the few people who says Louis Vuitton correctly – and carries it off like few others can. But Bollywood’s smart new style icon is a great shopping companion too, for someone in Delhi. If you get her started on the subject of shopping in the capital, she can’t stop!
Jewellery from Chandni Chowk, chiffon from Sarojini, accessories from Janpath – the Aisha star is clear that when it comes to shopping, there’s no place like Delhi!
Sonam style
Ask anyone in tinsel town or even outside it who the best dressed among the younger actors is. The overwhelming majority probably will – and many have – voted for Sonam in the recent past. “Oh, I don’t know about the style icon image – I’ve always loved clothes,” says Sonam, a tad self-conscious. “The style icon tag is a little embarrassing, actually. It’s really just an expression of your individuality. Like in Delhi, the design fraternity is so dominant… I really believe designers are artistes. It takes an artiste to cut a suit correctly. It’s my hobby to collect old clothes. If you’re comfortable in your skin, style comes automatically. I mean… I can’t explain it – I’d be cool in even a kurta and jeans.”
And has she done any rasta-chhaap shopping? “Oh, you find the best clothes in Janpath! I’ve shopped in Chandni Chowk, I’ve found the best jewellery there, and bindis, shoes, the best kapda. It’s my passion. You have to just really enjoy it. Some of the best dressed people I’ve seen are college girls in Delhi, they’ll buy kapda and get those surplus branded clothes and just make their own stuff. I’ve been to Sarojini, of course, I got kapda for my salwar kameez from there.” For a film outfit? “Not for a film yaar, for me! You get the best chiffon there, the French chiffon, the Maharani Gayatri Devi wala, wahin se milta hai. There’s no place like Delhi for shopping… uff, I could go on and on. The best embroidery you get here, the best gota. In GK, you know na, you get the surplus clothes from international brands…” says Sonam, sounding quite excited. This is one ride that this clotheshorse clearly can’t get enough of!
Pankaj uncle’s pet
Sonam was in Scotland when we spoke to her, wrapping up a shoot for Pankaj Kapur’s Mausam with Shahid. How’s the mausam there? “Oh, the weather here is lovely right now. Summer in Scotland is very beautiful. It has an old world charm, and I’m fascinated by that,” she says. But she’s bound not to say much on the movie itself. “Mausam is a classic love story written by Pankaj Kapur, it stars Shahid and me, and that’s all I can tell you right now,” she laughs apologetically.
She’s working for the first time with Shahid – how’s it going? She reminds you that she’s worked ‘for the first time’ with all her co-stars so far. “Shahid is wonderful, he’s very, very nice, very kind, sweet, gentle…” And Kapur Sr – is he as strict with the unit as reports say he is? “He’s not at all strict with me, and Shahid is always super annoyed because he feels that Pankaj uncle is completely biased towards me. I could get away with murder on the sets!” she laughs.
Imran Khan, with whom she’s done I Hate Luv Storys, has said that he’d really wanted to work with her, and that they both get along pretty well. Correct? “Yeah, Imran and I have great chemistry. Even off-screen, we share a great equation, and I think that’s translated on screen. We’re complete opposites in real life and we’re always ribbing each other, joking… I have good chemistry with both Ranbir and Imran,” she says. Imran, in fact, used the word ‘chill’ for her – “there’s never any stress working with her, she’s very chill,” he’d told DT. “I enjoy Imran’s company,” Sonam says. “I don’t feel judged around him. There are very few people like that, who’re not concerned with who you are, where you come from, how you’re behaving… he’s like that.”
He did say, however, that he and IHLS director Punit Malhotra, who have a staple jeans-and-tee wardrobe, would keep ribbing her about appearing in all these “deadly numbers”. That makes Sonam laugh merrily. “Achha? Arre, Avantika (Imran’s fiancée) dresses quite cool too – I don’t know why he’s saying that! Avantika and I have similar tastes. Imran dresses pretty well too, his jeans and tees are cool, and he’s naturally good looking. He’s blessed that way; he has such a gorgeous face, he looks like James Dean. For IHLS, I told him that if you look better than I do, I’ll kill you!” she says, still chuckling.
Love and luv storys
Is she like her character in IHLS – super sugary romantic? “I’m not like Simi. I’m a true idealist, I’m a romantic, but I don’t like perfect things in my life,” says Sonam. “I’m not like any of the characters I’ve played, actually, except for maybe Aisha, to a certain degree. Her flaws are like mine. I’m like Simi only in my obsession with Hindi films.”
There’s no dearth of love stories about her – the link-ups, the latest one being with Punit. “I’m very, very, very much single,” she says patiently; obviously, the question’s been asked many times. “Punit and I are not seeing each other, we’re just friends, and the rumours are very awkward, weird and uncomfortable.” But is she looking for love? “I am looking for someone – I’m 25 yaar, I want to have fun.” And marriage – does she have an age and time in mind? “You can’t plan these things. How can girls be like that? ‘Main iss age mein shaadi karoongi, do saal mein mere bachche honge, mere do bachche honge’ – how boring! You have to go with the flow, work hard, enjoy yourself,” she says airily.
Filmi fundas
Who, we ask, are her friends from the industry? “There’s Aarti Shetty, Pooja Shetty Deora, Ranbir, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Rani Mukerji, Atul Kasbekar… the people I’ve worked with – Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Bharti, Imran… I’m great friends with my manager and make-up artiste too!” she says.
And does she think the industry is now fundamentally different from the time when stars could saunter in to the set hours late and play college kids despite carrying more than a few extra kilos? “See, my dad was the pioneer of coming on time and looking good. It’s the same with Amitabh Bachchan. The biggest stars I’ve worked with – Prem Chopra, Waheeda Rehman – they’re all very humble and very professional. There might have been a couple of actors who were like that, but the people I’ve known have been very professional. Anyone who’s not is not going to be successful. I don’t think dad has worked with anyone like that – and if they worked for him, he’d fire them! But yes, of course, you have to look good… and you can’t be fat!” she giggles.

New Man In Kangna Ranaut Life?

The good news is that Kangna Ranaut is taken. You cannot expect a Bollywood hottie like her to remain single indefinitely. And the new man in actress’ life is said to be director Mohit Suri. They’re not exactly painting the town red. But, away from the prying eyes of friends and
the media, they are a couple. Of that, there is little doubt. Mohit’s car has been spotted parked in Kangna’s building late at night. Actually, this is a renewed ‘relationship’.
During the making of Woh Lamhe, Mohit and Kangna were reportedly seeing each other already. But at that time, Mohit was serious about actress Udita Goswami. Even now, the suave director continues to remain discreet.
As for Kangna, she still goes around saying she’s single and not yet ready to mingle. But then, not for nothing is she one of our finest actresses!

Asin Turns To Salman Khan

Asin, who is shooting with Salman Khan for Ready, reportedly went crying to him about the recent developments in her personal life. She explained to the Bollywood superstar about how she was getting a raw deal with some media sorts. And, of course, bhai has now stepped in to help Asin.
So don’t mess with Asin guys.

Anything For A Hit, Akshay Kumar?

Whenever, wherever Akshay Kumar is shooting, specially in the unexplored interiors, he likes to seek out places of worship to visit and find solace. It could be a small Gurdwara tucked away in the bylane of Amristar or a Mata temple on a hill in Manali…Akshay will climb that extra mile,

trek that extra distance to get there.
So it was in Baramati where Akshay shot for several months this year for the new Priyadarshan film Khatta Meetha. In Baramati, Akshay discovered a small temple in a far-off place that he immediately felt a connect with. Akshay began to frequent that temple every day.
Says a source from the unit, “Earlier he wouldn’t tell anyone where he’d disappear to early in the morning, or any time of the day. Soon we found where he was off to. What we didn’t know was that he had taken a mannat that he’d return to the temple when Khatta Meetha was ready for release.
So it was that Akshay left on early Saturday morning by a chartered flight, just before he left for Manali to shoot a song with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for Vipul Shah’s Action Replay to fulfil his mannat in his favourite temple at Baramati.
While Akshay refused to comment saying religion was a very personal matter a source very close to him said, “Akshay takes matters connected to God very seriously. He wouldn’t leave for Manali to shoot until he had fulfilled his mannat in that temple in Baramati.

I Want To Find Love Katrina Kaif

There was nothing that Katrina would have liked better on her birthday on Friday than to be with her family in London. In fact, she had planned and plotted for months and weeks to make her birthday wish come true.
But then Star proposes, Producer disposes. Just when Katrina took a break from her shooting in
Spain from Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara to spend the days leading to her birthday in London her plans were thwarted. Now Katrina has to return to shoot in Pampolona for Zoya’s film a day before her birthday.
Trying hard to conceal her disappointment about being deprived of her annual family get-together Katrina says, “Yes, I had planned well in advance to spend my birthday with my family in London. But some scenes for Zoya’s film have been rescheduled and I’ve to go back on Thursday, a day ahead of my birthday, to Spain. Never mind. I’ll be working on my birthday and that’s the best way to bring in my birthday.
Looking at the brighter side, Katrina says, “My two youngest sisters Isabella and Sonia are coming back to Spain with me, so I have a part of my family with me. And I couldn’t hope to be with a better unit on my birthday. Zoya Akhtar is one of the coolest directors I’ve worked with.”
Looking at the year that was, Katrina says, “I got to work with two women directors Zoya and Farah Khan this year. And they were both such fun to work with. I also had a big hit Raajneeti. I couldn’t have asked for more. In the coming year I hope to find love. Every girl needs someone to share her life with.
Katrina returns to India next month to face one of her biggest challenges as an actress. On August 11 she has to perform an item song with Akshay Kumar for Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan. Sighs Katrina, “It is like no other item song. It will have elements from both Indian and western dance forms. It will blend various styles and give me a chance to perform what could possibly be my most challenging on-screen dances. I can’t wait to return and start rehearsing for the number.

I m Cool With A Bikini: Sonam Kapoor

For someone, who entered Bollywood with Saawariya, a film, which didn’t exactly make waves at the BO, this zesty, perky gal has come a long way! With Delhi-6, Sonam Kapoor firmly established herself as a hot-dresser, with plenty of spunk and chutzpah, and an actress who can hold

her own in front of formidable co-stars. She hasn’t looked back after that! With some impressive projects in her kitty, Sonam is now awaiting the release of Aisha, a film produced by her kid sister Rhea. An excited Sonam speaks to NT about sibling revelry, her “dance dilemmas” and future projects.
‘My job’s over!’
With Aisha being a family project, isn’t she worried about the over-expectations from all quarters? Sonam replies in a cool-as-a-cucumber tone: “Frankly, my job as an actress is over! Now it’s the producer’s and director’s call. But, I really had a great time during the shoot and now I’m very relaxed. So, no fears!”
Bonding time!
But, Rhea being the producer of the film, did badi didi have to toe the line of her younger sis? Getting into a protective mode, Sonam replies: “Rhea knows her job and together we had a blast. As it is, we don’t tread on each other’s toes and seldom have any fights.” And what about her brother Harshvardhan? “He’s a baby and studying filmmaking abroad.” So, will the B’town see the three siblings joining hands for a particular film? The big sis says: “Who knows! But first, Harsh has to finish his education because that’s very important.”
‘I only compete with myself!’
Sonam’s known for her poise and down-to-earth approach. How does she handle the reports of competition between her and Deepika Padukone? “I only compete with myself! So, I don’t pay heed to such reports,” says she. But then, why is it that two actresses of same genre, can never be lasting friends. The lady says: “Maybe because they don’t have time for each other! That’s why all my friends are non-filmi people!”
Looking ahead!
The actresses who’s currently shooting in Edinburgh for her film Mausam with Shahid Kapoor, says she’s in love with the Highlands. “The weather in Scotland’s amazing and Shahid’s a superb co-star, who makes you very comfortable. I’m also looking forward to Thank You with Akshay, which’s a fun film.”
Style mile!
Her costumes in Saawariya had failed to impress the glamour-hungry tinseltown. Ask her, how did she manage to become a style diva in such a short span, and Sonam replies with a laugh: “I took all the criticism in my stride and worked on my look. Since I love make-up and clothes, it was a cakewalk! I’m happy when people appreciate my dresses, my earrings or hairstyle.”
‘My regret!’
Not many know that this glam babe loves to “gate-crash parties” too. She says with a giggle: “Sadly, I don’t get to indulge this sport these days!” And what are the other passions that make her go? “I love ballets. Being a trained Kathak dancer, it’s unfortunate that I haven’t been able to showcase my art in any of my films,” she laments.
Bindaas babe!
And what about the reports of “food-stealing sessions” that she, Lisa Haydon, Ira Dubey and Amrita Puri indulged in recently at Rishikesh? She replies rather sheepishly, “Yes, I stole food and sneaked it in my hotel room. Since I didn’t have to wear a bikini, unlike other girls, it was OK to binge on food.” Does that mean she’s averse to wearing bikinis in her films? The lady replies nonchalantly: “I don’t mind wearing a bikini, provided the role and the script require it, but not for the heck of it!”

Aamir Khan, The Baddie In Dhoom 3?

Aamir Khan has had just one dilemma in the last eight months. The actor has been obsessed with one thought — after 3 Idiots ,what next?

On July 9, BT broke the news that Aamir and filmmaker Yash Chopra had decided to work together. While the market buzzed with news of Aamir playing the villain in Dhoom 3, sources close to the actor denied it categorically. However, it is now known that Aamir met with Aditya Chopra, who gave him an one-line narration of the role of the villain the film. And, an insider reveals, “Aamir has loved what he heard. In all probability, he will listen to the script on August 13 when he returns from Melbourne and Delhi.”

Aamir doesn’t wish to confirm or deny these developments as yet because he will start reading the script next week after his Peepli Live releases. However, it is said that the actor is keen to play the baddie because what he heard from Adi has truly excited him. A trade source says, “After 3 Idiots Aamir needs something very challenging and dynamic. And he knows that playing the villain in a established franchise like the Dhoom series will create a huge buzz.”

Dhoom 3 in all likelihood may not be directed by Sanjay Gadhvi. Chances are that the film may have a director of Aamir’s choice. As of now, the Chopras are very excited because their villains have been the most talked about characters in the Dhoom series. The first one had John Abraham, the second had Hrithk Roshan, and if they get Aamir for the third, it will be the crowning glory.

Aamir has earlier played a baddie in Raakh and Fanaa. But reports say that the villain of Dhoom 3 will be a very stylised character. And he is likely to make as much impact as Gabbar Singh of Sholay or Dr Mogambo from Mr India.

SRK Unveiled In New York

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s wax figure was today unveiled at the Madame Tussads museum in New York’s Times Square.
The 45-year-old star’s new wax figure was unveiled amid colourful dance performance by Bollywood Axion Dance Troupe that performed to the soundtrack from his latest film ‘My Name Is Khan’ with the waxwork behind them. The actor already has a statue at Tussauds in London and his latest wax figure is dressed in a sleek black suit and white shirt.
The event also marked the release of the DVD for ‘My Name is Khan’. The movie centres around an Indian Muslim man with Asperger’s Syndrome, who falls for Mandira, a successful Hindu single mother, played by Kajol, and how their lives are impacted by 9/11. Soon after the unveiling visitors and tourists began to get their picture clicked with him.
“More and more people are seeing Bollywood as part of the mainstream,” Rosemary del Prado, director of marketing at Madame Tussauds, said. “It represents his current style,” she said, pointing out the button down vest and the blazer zipper.
Khan stands in a small room on the 9th floor and is the second waxwork to enter the Bollywood Zone at the Madame Tussauds in New York after Amitabh Bachchan was introduced last year. The London branch also has a wax statue of Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai. Khan, who was named one of Newsweek’s ’50 Most Powerful People in the World’ in 2008, has a fan following in the billions.
Khan and Kajol became the first Bollywood stars to ring the NASDAQ bell for Fox Searchlight Pictures, the distributors of the film. One of the reasons for Khan’s inclusion in the New York facility was due to public requests, according to del Prado. “We make these decisions based on out guest feedback,” she said. “And the population around NYC are familiar with Bollywood.”
In the room next to where Khan was unveiled, there is an exhibition of presidents of the United States and world leaders, which include Mahatma Gandhi, Fidel Castro, Helen Keller, Martin Luther King Jr., Yasser Arafat and Napoleon.

Salman Khan (Sallu) makes Katrina Kaif (Kat) Cry

 

Katrina  Kaif  attended the worst press conference of her life, where a session organised for one of the brands the actress endorses turned out to be a free-for-all grueling barrage of questions about her split with Salman Khan. At first Katrina took it in her stride and tried to smile through most of the questions. But soon, completely unnerved by the jibes and comments from the members of the press, Katrina lost all control over her emotions and blurted, “If Salman says we’ve split, it must be true.” She walked out of press conference soon after. But this wasn’t before she actually bawled in front of everyone.
A close friend, who accompanied the actress, said, “Katrina is a strong girl and not prone to public display of emotion. But on Tuesday night she broke down and wept after the event, wondering why she was being subjected to questions on something that Salman had said.”
Elaborating on why Katrina is so angry, her friend added, “Firstly, it was unfair of Salman to speak about their so-called split; they had decided between themselves that they would never talk in public about what transpired between them.
Katrina has been hurting ever since Salman made the remark that he is now single. Katrina, on the other hand, shares a very personal relationship with Salman’s family and she would never put it up for public scrutiny.”
When asked about the events at the press conference on Tuesday evening, Katrina admitted it shook her up and said, ” What happened was very, very disturbing. I had the entire congregation of media persons questioning me about a statement made by Salman.
If for all these years I haven’t spoken about the relationship, why should I do so now? I won’t be bullied into talking about my personal life. I am going to take contractual action to ensure limits are not crossed at these events.”
After this incident, Katrina has decided to add a few amendments to her contract that will ensure that she is asked questions only related to the brand she has chosen to endorse.
At the moment however, Katrina is badly shaken up, if not by this incident, then definitely about Salman’s public declaration. Her friend said, “She doesn’t know what to make of it. Whether they are together or not is not a matter for public discussion. And at the moment she is not interested in flashing a ‘single and available’ label.”
As a concluding statement, the actress firmly added, “Whether it is my personal or public space, I’ve noticed I allow people to take too many liberties. From now on my personal life remains out of public eye. And those who wish to share a personal equation with me better respect that.”
We hear you Katz, loud and clear. Ahem, actually we don’t.

Munni Act Floors Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor landed in Mumbai from Latvia via Frankfurt with two blobs of red on her cheeks.
Yes, the weather in Latvia where she was shooting for Agent Vinod was cold! Anway the first thing Bebo did when she landed in the warmer climes was to congratulate her best friends
Malaika Arora Khan and Amrita Arora Lakdawala on the super success of their latest film.
Bebo said, “I haven’t seen Malli’s film, but I have only been hearing about what a rocker it is from everyone around me.”
What Bebo conveniently forgot to say was that she herself was having a private bash for Malaika, Amrita, Lovely Singh, Tusshar Kapoor, Shabina Khan and a few others at her home last night. Said one of her friends, “Bebo wanted to be the first to throw a success party for Malli. And Malli actually did her Munni act at this closed door affair for the chosen few. All the guests joined in and they actually brought the house down.” Saif Ali Khan missed this rocking party at his home because he is still in Europe.

Ajay Devgn Gets Deadly With Cars

Ajay Devgn is trying to make a name for himself with stunts. With the Golmaal series, he has taken that leap of faith. While in the first part of Golmaal, we saw Ajay Devgn make an entry on a sports bike (a bit of a throwback to his debut Phool aur Kaante).

In Golmaal Returns, we saw him making an entrance balancing on two hummers, but this time with Golmaal 3, Devgn is pulling a stunt which is bigger and better than the last two.
Our source said, “Ajay Devgn will be seen balancing himself on two Dodge cars, one bright pink, the other yellow. But here is the catch. The cars were driven on only two wheels.
Balancing on two inclined cars becomes a task, but not for Ajay Devgn. He performed this stunt with ease without a harness or a cable.”
When contacted, Rohit Shetty, director of Golmaal 3, said, “Yes, it is true and the most interesting part was that he used no harness or cable. It took us three days to figure out how it can be pulled off and took us one day to shoot it.”

Salman Khan’s Wristy Business

Our macho man Salman Khan just can’t do without his lucky charm.  Errr… we are not talking about Katrina Kaif here, instead it’s his blue sapphire bracelet that’s supposed to be special to him. The actor is so in love with his bracelet that he even chose to make it the hero of his

forthcoming film Wanted Dead Or Alive’s poster. “Everyone who knows Salman bhai knows of his belief in the bracelet. He tries to wear it in all his films,” says a friend of the actor. So while Sallu isn’t hooked on to too many superstitious beliefs, this bracelet is one thing he can’t do without. Now having luck ‘handy’ isn’t such a bad idea.

Anil Kapoor Bonds With Tom Cruise

Anil Kapoor has just returned from Prague where he spent a lot of time with Hollywood’s numero uno star Tom Cruise and the director of Mission Impossible 4, Brad Bird.

And even before he landed in Mumbai’s Mehboob Studio to finish work on his home-production No Problem, the grapevine said that Anil will play an Indian playboy with international connections in high places called Brij Nath in MI4. The character is expected to have shades of Hugh Hefner, the Playboy magazine owner.
In keeping with his screen character, it is hinted that the actor will have some steamy scenes in the film with Paula Patton. And, he is expected to start shooting for his portions of MI4 in Dubai next month.
Anil concedes that his Hollywood casting agents are happy with this break. “MI4 should keep me in the rolling as far as future Hollywood breaks go,” says the actor, who has become leaner in the last two weeks. “All I can say is I’m going to go out there and have a good time,” he smiles. After three decades of working really hard on his career, the actor says that he has mentally decided to just enjoy his screen time in Bollywood and abroad.
“When I did Slumdog Millionaire I didn’t imagine that it was opening doors to me for further opportunities in the West,” he says very modestly. “But now, 24 and MI4 seem to be just the tip of the iceberg. I’m happy to take each film as it comes. My agents are also happy with this break.”
Anil is flying to London tonight to shoot for Priyadarshan’s Tez. And he is also the negative character (which according to the grapevine is like Al Capone in The Untouchables) in Rajkumar Santoshi’s Power.
Next year may see him team up with Karan Johar and Vikram Aditya Motwane of Udaan fame in a film. And there is also talk of a reputed filmmaker bringing him and his star daughter Sonam together for the first time on screen. At 55, life has just begun for Anil. Says he, “Honestly, age is but a number. In my head, I’m still a newcomer, especially in the West.” The actor is also said to be in huge demand to make appearances at all the major Hollywood and British Awards functions that start from December right until March

No Wedding Dance For Saifeena

Maybe it’s got to do with his blue blood and the presitigious Pataudi gharana nobility… but Saif Ali Khan will not dance at weddings for money. Naturally, since the Chhote Nawab has
best shown his steps on the dance floor with beau Kareena Kapoor, this reluctance to hotfoot it in public for cash or kind applies to both of Bollywood’s happening jodi. The rest of the industry may measure its brand equity in terms of film offers and brand endorsements, and the price the stars charge for public appearances which involves dancing at weddings… but not Kareena and Saif.
So, naturally, they were appalled at the news that they had accepted a Gutkha baron’s Rs 3-4 crore offer to dance at his son’s wedding in Delhi this week. Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are reported to be among those who will entertain the guests, but not Kareena and Saif. If you want to see them dance, for love and not cash, then get yourself a DVD of  Kurbaan.

Munni Is A Showstopper In Pakistan

There’s a play called Munni Badnam Hui which is used to spice up TV scripts. And wedding revellers are dancing feverishly to Munni badnam hui. The song from the Salman Khan hit Dabangg picturised on Malaika Arora has become the rage in Pakistan.

If a Bollywood hero is charming audiences in the superhit film, then so is Malaika, who has almost become a household name in pakistan after the song composed by Lalit Pandit.
No wedding or function is considered complete without the song. It also blares from audio systems in cars and music shops while FM radio stations are swarmed with requests to play Munni Badnam Hui. Comedy king Umar Sharif, who is equally famous in India for his rib-tickling stage performances, returned to the stage this Eid after several years with a play titled Munni Badnam Hui staged in Karachi’s arts council theatre.
Sharif himself donned the avatar of Munni in the play and had the audience in splits with his funny lines and situations. The storyline of the play revolved around a household with a Munni who is the cynosure of attention in her locality.
Bushra Ansari, considered an icon on Pakistani television, also penned a play Doli ki aaye gi baraat for Eid. The play revolved around two families, one living in Karachi and the other in Faisalabad, whose kids wanted to marry each other.
The play, aired by Geo TV, was a huge hit and was re-run. But the showstopper was a dholki sequence where both the families danced their hearts out to Munni Badnaam Hui.
When the star cast of the play sat in the studio on Eid day to narrate the making of the play, they were again asked to perform to the hit tune.
Movie buffs flocked to see Dabangg this Eid.
