'I was Gabbar, not some Jade Goody!'


Kashmera Shah lashes out at Rakhi Sawant for comparing her to Shilpa Shetty's tormentor on the UK reality show Big Brother

RAUL DIAS Times News Network

Just when you thought the dust had finally settled in the wake of Sony's reality game show Bigg Boss and its videshi counterpart UK reality show Big Brother, here comes another battle royale that promises to kick up a storm!
Former Bigg Boss inmate, actor Kashmera Shah is livid with fellow inmate Rakhi Sawant's recent comment that Kashmera was the Jade Goody of Bigg Boss, comparing her to Shilpa Shetty's Big Brother tormentor.
"I think Rakhi is starting to sound schizophrenic. She seems to be slowly but surely losing it," says a bristly Kashmera who adds that Rakhi's "ignorance" is pitiful. "In what way did I ever behave in a racist manner with her? For God's sake, we belong to the same race last time I checked!" fumes Kashmera, insisting that she is not amused with Rakhi's antics this time round.
"It is the joke of the century if Rakhi feels that she can be compared with Shilpa Shetty. She is just some item girl who says and does everything for publicity," lashes out Kashmera who feels that right from Rakhi's "innocent act" to the whole "fasting-so-youwon't-be-evicted" bit was a well put up show. "How else would you explain her promptly breaking the so-called fast. That too with chicken! Even today when we meet she behaves very sweetly and then 10 minutes later, she is ready to bite," says Kashmera who says Rakhi is behaving like a sore loser, using her as a target. "I am not saying that I wasn't playing games in the house. It was a reality game show after all. But I played it in true spirit of sportsmanship. I was the Gabbar Singh of Bigg Boss, not some Jade Goody!"

Hyped up and ready to serve

(Posted on 2 February 2007)

In this age of packaging, hype is all. Discovery pulled out all stops to promote a new series Planet Earth that started on Thursday. Ads in the print media, innovatively lit up hoardings, it had it all. Except terribly great content.

The first episode definitely had some great footage of hibernations and migrations in the animal world in the polar regions. Breathtaking visuals and a nice, coherent commentary. But definitely not something one had not already encountered on the channel or its sibling, Animal Planet or Nat Geo or....

In the end, it was hype that marked the finale of Sony's Bigg Boss last weekend. As with all grand finales, it was a two hour-long painful affair, interspersed with chats and performances with all the original 13 inhabitants of the house, with host Arshad Warsi required to fill in all the extra minutes with banter till the simple act of opening the envelope and revealing the winner's name could be completed. It's a wonder Carol and Rahul could withstand the torture, marking as it did, the end of a pretty stress-filled period of their life.

Crowning Rahul Roy the winner turned out to be a pleasant surprise. If rigged, the channel showed remarkable restraint in choosing a stable guy over volatile participants who played to the camera; if not, the audience showed uncharacteristically sober judgment.

Unlike CBB UK's winner Shilpa Shetty, however, it is unlikely that Rahul Roy's sagging career will get more than a lukewarm shot in the arm. Unless, of course, he decides to turn his full attention to the small screen, where he is likely to find several takers.

The hype around KBC definitely helped it sail through the first week with flying colours and glowing reviews; but the second week had an unsettling sense of sameness accompanying it. The unmistakable energy, the spirit of bonhomie and the quick repartees are all there. Still, the niggling feeling that the host is more absorbed in himself than the participant persists. Perhaps it's part of the SRK aura. Perhaps, the new host will grow on us the way the first one did. Perhaps.

While the over-hyped shows get all our attention, let us not neglect the unsung ones, the quiet ones that do a good job but seldom merit attention. Zee Cafe's Trendzsetters this week had an engaging piece on designer Wendell Rodricks' life and career. It took us through his 400-year-old home in Goa, walked with him in the surrounding fields that are his inspiration and muse, and chatted with his confidantes about what makes the designer stand out in the world of couture. Simply told, nicely shot, it was a pleasure to watch.

As is the continuing Star Plus' show, Aek Chabhi Hain Pados Mein. A show with a realistic touch, it entertains without getting on the nerves, makes you smile and sob with the story as it gently drifts. Or, Suresh Menon on the Great Indian Comedy Show on Star One. His little digs at Bollywood, its latest releases and its denizens, his exaggerated effeminate style, all put this highly underrated comedian in a different league than his slapstick colleagues.

On the other hand, Sony's Man Mein Hain Vishwaas is getting increasingly preachy. This week, an air force officer, plagued by constantly shifting in and out of rented flats (since when!?! doesn't the country's air force have its own accommodation?) sought and got a home loan thanks to his guru's blessings. But when he neglected his puja and prayers, calamity befell the family. Moral - keep those pujas going without a break.
When is the season break for this show?

If there are two shows returning to TV and worth a dekko, they are Karamchand on Sony and Koffee with Karan, this time on Star One and Star World together. Let's hope the brew's strong enough this time too.

****

Couch potato's advice of the week - to hassled mothers whose toddlers are glued to the antics of Hungama's Shin Chan and emulating the animated brat's rude mannerisms. Reach for the remote, folks!

Aryan Vaid says no to television


He became the talk of the town during his stay at the Big Boss's house. Even after his ouster, he surfaced in every mentionable media for his affair with the glam girl Anupama Verma. So, how's life treating the most eligible bachelor post the break-off with Anupama and the reality show that breathed its last a week ago.

For the ex-Mr. International, life has registered a new high post the Bigg Boss stint. According to the actor he is flooded with offers these days. Aryan says, "I was approached to play lead roles in shows like Durgesh Nadini (Sony's show that is produced by Shobhna Desai, and now the news is that Amit Saad has been finalized as the main lead) and Karam Apnaa Apnaa ( whose protagonist Iqbal Khan called it quits mid way). I have also been offered a Zee show lately as a male lead." Seems like the actor will make his rivals go green with envy. But that is not the case, adds Aryan, "I know the work coming my way sounds all exciting but I have my own preferences. I have decided not to do television at the moment since I want to concentrate on my film career."

These days Aryan is awaiting the release of his forthcoming film Apne in which he plays a negative role. "The film is directed by Anil Sharma (Gadar fame) and features names like Bobby Deol, Sunny Deol, Shilpa Shetty and Katrina Kaif. It is a mix of action and romance and would be something that the audiences would remember for a long time" says the actor.

Aryan, who started as a Chef with The Leela won the coveted title of Mr. International in 2000. He has also featured in TV serials like Campus, suspense Hour and Jungle Patrol. His earlier films like Danav, Market and White Noise have not been able to break new ground for him in bollywood. With fame courting him again, thanks to the Bigg Boss show, Aryan has managed to sneak into the view of many leading producers. With work chasing him everywhere, we hope he makes a good bargain out of it.

The love between Aryan Vaid and Anupama Varma evaporated the minute they left the Big Boss household. Even though Anupama didn't want to have anything to do with Aryan ever again since he turned out to be very different from the man she met on the reality show, she was professional enough to shoot with him. Both the models got together to shoot an ad campaign for designer Priyanka Thakur and smiled through the entire process. But once the camera stopped clicking they kept to themselves as they clearly looked uncomfortable in each other's company.

Rakhi Sawant accused Priyanka Chopra of copying her sexy moves!
by Debasis Jana



Sex bomb Rakhi Sawant accused actress Priyanka Chopra of copying her sexy movies and expressions in the just released movie 'Salaam-e-Ishq'.
When we contacted her she started off by thanking the whole Hindi film industry for giving her a platform to perform and recognition. When we asked about her allegation against Priyanka, she said, "The promos of the movie made her feel that Priyanka has copied her identity." What a mess.

Kanjoos Boss!

Rahul Roy

He won the big bucks on Bigg Boss, but Rahul Roy isn't going berserk spending the moolah. We hear the actor is turning director with a film called Cocaine, and is on a major cost-cutting spree with his yet-to-be-finalised cast.

Ravi Kissen has been pencilled in as one of the leads, and Rahul's been busy convincing him to reduce his fees.

A source says, "Ravi charges a bomb for his Bhojpuri films, but he decided to go easy on Rahul since it's his directorial debut.

However, he was stumped when Rahul asked for a further reduction and offered him an amount that comes up to what a newcomer would get on television."

We wonder if Rahul will have to resort to snorting cocaine to relieve the stress of making this film!

"I would love to do a travel show"- Carol Gracias



Carol Gracias has become busier than before. The dusky beauty after losing out to Rahul Roy in Bigg Boss is on a spree of fashion shows. The model-actor, who is currently in Calcutta for a fashion event spoke about her life after Bigg Boss.

Adds Carol, "Ever since my Bigg Boss show came to an end, I have been busy with my modelling assignments. The sad thing is that I haven't been able to take a break that I had planned after the reality show came to an end. Now, I seriously want to take a break."

When asked about how she feels for not being able to win the Bigg Boss title, the ever charming lady says, "Well, I did feel a bit depressed initially but that's pretty normal. I am happy that Rahul won it. He has a great temperament."

So, would she like to do more television shows? "I have kept my mind open to all possibilities. I would love to do more television. But not the soaps for sure", says Carol. Ask her about what would she love to do on TV, the supermodel is quick to add, "I would ideally love to do cookery or a travel show since these topics is quite close to my heart."

Now, that the supermodel has made her intentions loud and clear, well, are the producers listening?

Rakhi Sawant banned from jail!
The item girl's gifts to the Arthur Road prisoners were not well received; jailor shows her the door Ek ladki nek kaam karna chahati hai, use karne bhi nahin dete —Rakhi Sawant

NO one wants to get into a jail…well, Rakhi Sawant is an exception! The item girl was in for a rude shock yesterday when she went to donate a few gifts to the inmates of Arthur Road prison. She was allegedly turned away by the jailor as the latter feared Rakhi's presence would instigate a jail break! A fuming Rakhi says, "I don't know if I should laugh or cry I am a Lion Club member and about three weeks .

back, we had taken permission from the authorities to visit the prisoners. Then we had asked senior superintendent Swati Sathe what gifts the prisoners would like, and she had recommended computers, carrom boards and machines to check diabetes. They had asked for one computer, but I took ten of them. I spent about six to seven lakhs of what I won from the 'Bigg Boss' show. My mo tive is to get the prisoners access to computers, so that they get educated enough to work once they are out." She continues, "When I went there with Abhishek (her boyfriend), they just wouldn't let us in. They refused to even take our gifts. I tried to do a good deed and they don't even want my help. I am going to donate these computers to municipal schools, where poor children study Ek ladki nek (good) kaam karna chahati hai, use .

karne bhi nahin dete." Surprisingly, when contacted Sathe feigned ignorance of the incident, stating, "I'm not in town

Bigg show of devotion

Rakhi at the house of Bigger Boss:
It looks like all 'Abhishek-loving' celebs are following in his footsteps and finding their way to Siddhivinayak temple. After Aishwarya Rai, it was item girl Rakhi Sawant who visited the Lord yesterday along with boyfriend Abhishek. If you watched Bigg Boss, you would have seen item girl Rakhi Sawant going, "Ganpati ki kasam..." dozens of times. Well, it's payback time for those promises we guess…
