Rakhi Sawant to ask Anna Hazare to intervene on censorship issue

Well, well, well. This is one sexy and voluptuous babe who keeps hitting the headlines every now and then. Paparazzi absolutely love her. Sometimes she cries foul when singer Mika Singh kisses her in public or gets amused when photographers bend low to capture her panties. Whatever be it, she is one hotty-naughty girl who can never be avoided. Yes, we are talking about Rakhi ‘item girl’ Sawant.

But this time she is angry. The latest to face the ire of Bollywood’s biggest firecracker is none other than the Censor Board, for having bleeped out the words ‘Choos Le’ (suck) from her song ‘Jawani Ki Bank Loot Le’ in her upcoming filmLoot.

Rakhi insists that though the words could be controversial in nature when singled out, in her song, they have been used aptly and with the right connotations, without any vulgar or offensive meaning.

“If the Censor Board can pass songs like ‘Bhaag D.K. Bose’ (Delhi Belly) and ‘Jhak Maar Ke’ (Desi Boyz), why should they have a bias towards my song ‘Jawani Ki Bank Loot Le’? Why am I being targeted by the Board, whereas John Abraham, Deepika Padukone and Imran Khan can get away with it?” questioned an angry Rakhi.

But since the Censor Board is in no mood to listen, Rakhi has decided to approach India’s most famous anti-corruption crusader, Anna Hazare.

Confirming this, her publicist Dale Bhagwagar says, “It is true that Rakhi has decided to approach Anna Hazare. She is currently doing her research on songs which she considers vulgar and objectionable.”

Rakhi plans to carry videos and CDs to Anna Hazare’s village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahmednagar and tell him to judge for himself, whether her song ‘Jawani Ki Bank Loot Le’ is vulgar compared to the others passed by the Censor Board.

Just for the record, the lyrics of Rakhi’s song reads, “Main russ malaai hoon, jannat se aayee hoon, saamne parosi hoon, aake choos le… hey… saiyaan jawani ki bank loot le.”

Well, will it be a meeting of minds when Anna and Rakhi meet? Definitely, on a particular level the two Maharastrians will bond. Expect a lot of Marathi conversation. On other levels, your guess is as good as anybody else's.

Splitsvilla winner Priya Shinde in Geet Hui Sabse Parayi

Spiltsvilla season 4 winner Priya Shinde is going places. Firstly, the pretty lady bagged a role in Colors’ Hamari Saas Leela and now she is all set to do a cameo in Star One’s popular show Geet Hui Sabse Parayi. In the show, the sexy lass will create problems between the couples Nandini (Melanie Pais)-Dev (Samir Sharma) and Lucky (Ahwaan Kumar)-Preeto (Khushbu Thakkar).

A little birdie from the sets informed us that Lucky and Dev will be out on work when they will meet Priya. Priya will accompany them to their home. Later, she will be seen creating misunderstandings between the couples. However, all this will also create some light moments for the viewers.

We talked to Samir Sharma (Dev) who said, “Yes, there will be a new entry in the show. But I can’t reveal anything else. All I can say, is just wait and watch.”

Here is one more case wherein a reality show contestant has managed to cross the bridge and enter the world of fiction TV. Certainly, reality shows have become the platform from where one can take the giant leap to reach the sky. May be beyond it!!!

Aman Verma to flaunt his six pack abs for an upcoming play

Every actor, be it from the small or big screen, dreams to own a well-toned, machine like six pack abs. After SRK’s six packs in Om Shanti Om and Aamir’s eight packs in Ghajini, it is Aman Verma’s turn to jump on the bandwagon. Aman, who is best remembered for his films namely Baghban and Pran Jaaye Par Shaan Na Jaaye, is sweating it out to get a chiseled body for a historical play titled,Ta Hai Mohenjodaro. The actor, who was least seen in Colors’ Na Aana Iss Des Laado, will be a part of series of war like sequences. The role requires him to be physically fit and in the play he will flaunt his bare chest wearing only a dhoti.

Furthermore, Aman has replaced Lahore star Aanaahad Singh in the play. “I am extremely excited to play the lead role. The script demands me to play a tough character who’s a man of fewer words. It’s the portrayal of the character’s physical abilities that has led me to take up this challenge,” said Aman with a beaming smile.

Aman has always been regular with his exercise routine but now the dedication just got intense with heavy weights and cardio workouts twice a day. He’s also taking training for body pump and body combat to get faster results.

“I am working on my body extensively since the last 15 days. I have replaced Aanaahad. He trained for 180 days and I have trained only for 15 days. It is not possible for me to look like him physically,” said Aman.

However, the actor feels that he will do a much better job than Aanaahad.

“I have respect for him. He was really good in Lahore. But I think I will be much better with the experience and craft I have cultivated. I am working hard on the language as its shudh Hindi. What we speak is a cosmopolitan language but the play language is of a different era when there was no influence of other foreign languages like today,” Aman went on to say.

The play will be staged on 1 November, 2011 in Mumbai. We hope Aman looks sexy and hot when he comes on the stage armed with six-pack abs and a dhoti!!!

Two new entries in Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo

TV viewers will experience new drama in SAB TV’s situational comedy Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo. The show produced by Optimystix is named after the popular Hindi song “Sajan re jhoot mat bolo, khuda ke paas jana hai,” from the movie Teesri Kasam.

We mentioned ‘new drama’ as the show is all set to witness two new entries. Well-known Marathi actress Nirmala Kotnis and Shafiq Ansari will soon be seen playing important roles. Nirmala’s character will be of a lady who will want to marry Dhirubhai Jhaveri (Tiku Talsania), in spite of him being already married to Usha (Pallavi Pradhan). Shafiq will be Nirmala’s father and their origins will be from South of India.

The actors have already started shooting and there entry will be aired on 29 October, 2011.

A reliable source informed us that in the upcoming episodes, Dhirubhai will go to the hospital for a check up and there he will mistake Nirmala for Usha and agree to marry her. The entire story will revolve around the two intending to marry each other while the other members of the family will try dealing with the entire situation.

We spoke to Tiku Talsania who confirmed the entries and further added, “It is great fun doing comedy.”

Harsh to meet with an accident in Hamari Saas Leela

Colors’ Hamari Saas Leela tells a story of a mother (Apara Mehta) searching for perfect daughter-in-laws. The show has gone through a lot of ups and downs in the past few months. Due to its ever plummeting numbers, the channel contemplated taking the show off air but was later shifted to the afternoon slot after a week’s break. As if falling TRPs were not enough, rumours made the rounds that the set of the show is haunted.

Well, everything is back to being normal now and in the upcoming episodes in an interesting twist Harsh (Malahar Pandya) will meet with an accident. As shown in the earlier episodes, Harsh and Koyal (Aditi Sajwan) had to cancel their honeymoon trip once due to Sejal’s (Ketki J.) childish behaviour. However, soon Sejal realized her mistake and along with Sameer (Raashul Tandon) she planned a honeymoon for Harsh and Koyal.

Harsh will drive home fast in order to reach the airport on time for the honeymoon trip. On the way, his and Anokhi’s (Swati Kapoor) cars will collide leading to a major accident. Anokhi will be shown driving her car at a great speed as she will be angry that her father fixed her marriage without her approval.

The news of Harsh’s accident will come as a big shock to his family members. In fact, Leela will be taken aback as she was warned about this accident by Guru Mata. After the mishap, Harsh will slip into coma.

We talked to Malahar Pandya who said, “There is an interesting track ahead but I can’t reveal anything at this point of time.”

Hope the twist helps the show to gain the desired numbers!!!

VJ Siddharth and Shonali get cosy in Bigg Boss season 5

Bigg Boss is one reality show that doesn’t fail to gain attention. Year after year it has churned out some of the most fascinating scenes of diverse human emotions which have put Indian television on a different and higher pedestal altogether. Bigg Boss season 4 became famous for the roaring heat generated by the lover boy Ashmit Patel and hot and sexy Pakistani bomb Veena Malik. Temperatures soared with the chemistry between Aryan Vaid-Anupama Verma, Payal Rohatgi-Rahul Mahajan, et al, in its earlier seasons.

However, romance was definitely a missing link this season. But now that too, is about to become a thing of the past. While India’s biggest ‘House of Scandal’ continues to buzz with mind-boggling activities, – including daily catfights, dirty politics, voyeuristic escapades, etc– Miss India International Shonali Nagrani and wild card entry Siddharth Bhardwaj have begun coochie-cooing like lovebirds on the reality show.

Sources revealed to us that night cameras have caught the couple in the bedroom, exchanging sweet-nothings, with Siddharth consoling and hugging Shonali and kissing her hand, while the girl seemed to reciprocate his every move.

VJ Siddharth shot to fame after winning the reality show MTV Splitsvilla and he has all the knowledge and expertise to deal and get acclimatized with the ‘survival of the fittest’ ambience in the Bigg Boss house. It seems that he is playing his cards right and given his warm bonhomie with Shonali, in the upcoming days the air will smell of romance inside the house.

“If all goes well, we should have the first full-blown romance of this season onBigg Boss in a few days,” says celebrity publicist Dale Bhagwagar.

Well, on the flipside, it might be a ploy by both of them to gain eyeballs and help the show climb up on the TRP chart. May be it is, but at the end of the day it doesn’t make much of a difference as long it is providing entertainment to the masses.

“Bigg Boss is a game and however much one thinks of it affecting the society, one should not forget that all the housemates know very well that they are wearing mikes around them and are surrounded by cameras 24x7. They have all gone on the show with personal agendas and roles to portray. They have all gone on it to play and win,” ends Dale.

Well, cameras are watching Siddharth and Shonali, and so are we. We all want the show to get spicier, and if these lovebirds can help to do it, then there’s nothing to complain. After all, love rules and so does Bigg Boss!!!

Bigg Boss 5: Diwali gifts on the way

Gifts are on the way for the inmates of the Bigg Boss 5 house even as all Indians worldwide are having a blast celebrating Diwali. It’s not going to be a morose, sad, cooped up festival of lights for Bigg Boss participants.

Shakti Kapoor is in for a bonanza. His family has sent him clothes, a pooja thaliand a letter. Penned by his wife and daughter, the letter clearly states that they are extremely proud about the way that he has conducted himself in the house, keeping the 13 women at bay. They have also expressed admiration for his leadership skills.

Afghani beauty Vida apparently will be getting a photo and some chocolates. Vida, who does not get along too well with her family, is seen in the photo cheek by jowl with her mother.

Then Amar Upadhyay will be seen handing out 13 necklaces to the women of the house. But, wait, he is not making them his biwis. Rather, these necklaces have been sent for all the ladies by his daughter who has also sent him some gifts too.

Watch them unwrapping their gifts on the show over Diwali. And check out if the ones who have not got any gifts get into scraps and scuffles. Have fun!!

Anupriya Kapoor sends temperatures soaring

Alert! Alert! Beautiful lasses of the tellydom are falling prey to the big viral bug. Be it affable Pratyusha Banerjee (Anandi of Color’s Balika Vadhu), sexy Kavita Kaushik(Chandramukhi Chautala of Sab TV’s F.I.R.), classy Sukirti Kandpal (Pia of Star One’s Pyaar Kii Yeh Ek Kahani), or sassy Surekha Sikri (Maasa of Color’s Balika Vadhu), everyone is busy recovering from one illness or the other.

The latest buzz is that Anupriya Kapoor (our dear Taani of Star Plus’s Tere Liye) is the latest one to join the league of ‘fallen’ actors. She is down with fever from past one week and has been advised complete bed rest by doctors.

“Yes, I am unwell from past one week. I am at home right now. I have got my blood test done and I will soon get the reports. I hope nothing is serious,” said Anupriya in a soft tone.

Tellychakkar wishes her a speedy recovery. We hope she gets well soon and has a wonderful Diwali!!!

Parul Chauhan gets face-booked!!!!

The dark and sultry Parul Chauhan, who rose to fame with Rajan Shahi’s Bidaai, has a deep dislike for social networks. But the actress, last seen in Colors’Rishton Se Badi Pratha, is getting over her abhorrence for social networking.

The wicked ones in industry are saying “better late than never. The fact is that she has time on her hands now that she does not have a show under her belt to keep her busy.”

Come mid-November, Parul fans will be able to connect with her through her facebook fan page. Yes, Parul lovers, if you have been trying to reach out to her on the world’s leading social network, you have been dealing with fakes.

However, it’s not as if the girl from Uttar Pradesh has overnight gotten rid of her social networking phobia. A friend has been assigned to handle her fan page on the site. Visitors will be able to see her latest pictures, videos, and her “friend” will constantly update fans about developments in her personal and professional life. Her friend has chosen to be anonymous.

Fans, it’s better having something close to the real thing than dealing with fakes! Don’t you agree?

Hiten Tejwani to replace Sushant Singh Rajput as Manav in Pavitra Rishta

The hunt has finally and officially ended. The replacement of Sushant Singh Rajput, who so very successfully played the part of Manav in the long running Zee TV drama Pavitra Rishta, is going to be a long term Balaji Telefilms loyalist: Hiten Tejwani.

The decision was not easy a-coming. Many actors were approached to play the part of an older Manav as the storyline of Pavitra scurries forward a few years. Among these: Mrunal Jain, Sharad Kelkar, Aamir Dalvi, Yash Tonk and Hiten Tejwani.

Mrunal, who was a very strong contender to play Manav, opted out because he was waiting to hear news about his playing the lead in a Star Plus show. This apart, he did not want to be seen playing a much older character when he is pretty young himself. Even the creative of Balaji and the channel seemed to be in agreement.

Sushant Singh Rajput stopped filming for the show on 23 October. Hiten is expected to start shooting in the coming week.
