Ties that bind
And one such brother is Varun Badola, who was recently at the Tommy Hilfiger showroom looking for watches for his sisters. The actor, who has two sisters, was in for a real surprise when he realised that the brand was having an end-of-season sale. So he ended up buying one watch and got the other one free for his sisters. Now that's what we call killing two birds with one stone! Rain dance gone wrong
She says, "It was my first rain scene and it was supposed to be this romantic thing with rain falling softly on my face. But boy, was I in for a rude shock when we actually shot for the scene! It was freezing and the water was not natural but tanker water. We were soaked for eight hours and constantly had to cover ourselves with a blanket of towels. There were two blow dryers trying to dry our hair and keep us warm as we couldn't possibly give the shot with quivering lips. Gosh, I really got a strong dose of the reality of filmmaking!" It's time to drop the blinkers Isha, dear. Whoever told you that making films was all gloss and glitter? Sunny's Pak connection
In several films like Gadar, Border and Maa Tujhe Salaam, Sunny has played a gun-toting, anti-Pakistan vigilante. And this has ensured that several people in Pakistan and relatively open-minded countries like the US and UK have stopped watching his films. Maybe this has something to do with him signing a Pakistani film? But wait, the Pakistani connection doesn't end there. Sunny's two female leads in the film are played by Sana Nawaz and Mona Lisa, both of whom are well-known TV actresses from the other side of the border. Now that his career is far from being on the upside, it seems desperate times call for desperate measures, eh Sunny? Sharon's baby steals the show
Not surprising, since he's been sporting a newly cropped look. Although there have been mixed reactions to his 'sober appearance', Akash is confident that gradually viewers will "get over my nasty Ansh hangover". Meanwhile, the scene-stealer at the party was Sharon's daughter Shazahn. She's into event management and plans to go the US for a course in filmmaking. "Strangely, my dad (ad guru Alyque Padamsee ) is not too keen that I pursue modelling, but I've been getting quite a few offers for commercials," says Shazahn. Pehchan kaun?
However, there was a time when the actress not only wore killer outfits but also gave the other girls a run for their money. We dug up our archives to get an old picture of Smriti when she was taking part in a beauty contest. After watching the promos of her new show Thodi si Zameen Thoda Sa Aasman we can easily say that we love Smriti in a younger avatar than watching her play grumpy old Tulsi. Filmi chakkar
However, there's one passion that Sanjit always makes time for, and that is watching films. The actor carries a portable DVD player whenever possible, and tries to watch his favourite films in between shots. One film he's looking forward to catching is Omkara. "I haven't got the time to watch it yet, but that's one film that's definitely on my 'must-watch' list." Q. What would you call Shakti Kapoor if he becomes the Minister of Defence? A. Minister of Offence. |
