Model and TV actor Umesh Pherwani who recently released a book titled 'Are you out of your mind', shares this with us. I once e-mailed Amitabh Bachchan who is my idol. I told him how much I respected and admired him as an actor; and even more than that, how much I respected his love for his parents.
He replied, "In life, wherever we reach is not determined by our talent, but by the blessings we collect from our elders. Today, if I am something it's only because of my parents blessings." This touched me very much. He's complete human being. And very worthy both as an actor and as a son." And a father, may we add?

Indian Idol 2 vs KBC Our article on the flop shows of 2005 stirred up a storm at Sony office. According to Tarun Katial Indian Idol is currently the top-rated show on Sony Entertainment Television.
His side of the story: "We received over 1 million calls for registrations compared to a total of 3 lakh calls last year. Viewer involvement and response is also evident from the large volume of votes being polled on the show week after week.
Last year we saw a dip in the ratings at the Piano stage. The world over, Piano Round is seen as the weakest link on the show, however we have not only been able to stabilise our viewership, but have also seen a growth over last year.
The hitList article compared Indian Idol Series 2 performance to KBC 2 performance. Would like to bring to your notice that the viewership for the latter has dropped by over 100 percent since it's relaunch." Over to Star Plus?
Karisma: Baby pink We spotted Karisma Kapoor with her baby in Lilavati. No pets, she hadn't dropped in to enquire about the Bachchan health. We are guessing she was there for a baby check-up.
The actress was glowing. She was dressed in a pink outfit and the baby was wearing matching pink gear.
We thought it was rather sweet. We are not very different from the rest of the world. Babies makes us gooey too! Akashdeep's birthday bash
Actress Sheeba brought in director-producer hubby Akashdeep's birthday on Christmas Day with a big bash, which had the who's who of the entertainment world in attendance.
Spotted were the Morani Brothers, Kunal Dasgupta of Sony, Johnny Lever, Archana and Parmeet.
The telly wagon included, Hiten Tejwani and Gauri Pradhan, Rajesh Kheda, Deepshikha and Soniya Kapuur, Manish Goswami, Vipul Shah, director Parritosh Painter with wife Arti. Along with the khana-peena there was the usual nach-gaana. Sonu: Dressed to thrill At a recent Bollywood bash, the star guests came tumbling in. Quite a few were dressed casually, we'd like to add. Sonu Nigam stood out in a sleeveless creation and we'd pointed out that. The Indian Idol judge called us to say he'd been judged wrongly.
He clarified, "You wrote that I was under-dressed at the party, but just to put facts clear, I was there to perform, not to attend the party. No one needs to teach me what to wear on stage, because that's an artiste's bread and butter, and we know it better. We're listening, Sonu. But next time around, take it in good humour and chill out like the cool guy you otherwise seem to be. |
