Stars have their shadows. We catch up with some of them
| ...Sister Sushmita and Neelam Sushmita Sen may be a serial-dater, boyfriend-changer and commitment-hater but if there is one person she cannot do without it is her sister Neelam. Although they are not related by blood, Sush is extremely devoted to Neelam and ensures that she travels with her everywhere. Neelam, on her part, carries a video camera and has shot some priceless candid moments of Sush and daughter Renee, say sources. |
| ...Mother Ayesha and mother Okay, so we know that Hema's, Rani's, Ash's, Shilpa's (etc) moms have all played their daughter's shadows in the past. But we just couldn't resist this sticky-sugar pot and honey mother-daughter duo which is neva-eva seen without each other. Whether it's for scaring away industry-sharks or guiding her girl through the big-bad world, Ayesha's mom is constantly humming Deff Leppard's 'Two steps behind'. |
...Friend Bipasha and Susan Whether it's love or friendship, when Bips joins hearts it's for keeps. Bips's joint-at-the-hip-ship with Susan Woodhan began ten years ago when she entered the city as a rookie model. "Susan was my constant support," quips Bips. So when John was in a no-party mood, like on her birthday two days ago, Bips took off to a bubbling spa with Susan. |
| ...Bodyguard Salman and Shera "I started as Salman's bodyguard, but now I'm his close friend," says Shera, who has been Salman's constant companion for nine long years. And it's Shera who knows what Sallu's facial expressions betray, and it's Shera who is there when Salman gets drunk. It's no wonder then that it's the affable Shera who plays spokesperson when the press wants any information on Sallu Bhai. |
| ...Secretary Rekha and Farzana What Rekha does all day in her huge house is a mystery to all but friend Farzana, who has been living with the diva for the last two decades. Farzana, who started out as a hairdresser to Rekha is said to be very possessive and protective about the actress. Although Rekha is secretive and keeps the rest of the world at bay, Farzana has found a permanent place by her side. |
| ...Sister Simi and Amrita This is a peculiar twosome. Although Simi doesn't step out without sis Amrita, she won't pose for snaps with her and nor will not acknowledge that the two are together. We're still wondering why they are forever ready to dodge careful shutterbugs. And with Amrita following the lily-white clad Simi, they make quite the picture of a saintly one and follower. |
| ...Daughter Suchitra and Kaveri Maybe Suchitra needs a break after having had too many profound conversations with ex- hubby Shekhar Kapoor. No wonder, she prefers the company of her six-year-old daughter Kaveri, who she tugs along to lunches, launches, screenings and meetings. Not just that, Kaveri inspires her mum in ample measure (Such wrote a song called "Kaveri' when she was born) and her blog www.intentblog.com. |
| Grape Wine Garma garam! Nothing too hot about it! Just that Abhishek Bachchan seems to be quite an affable person. As a judge on a reality show, Abhishek Bachchan was not just encouraging the contestants but was also very sweet to them. So much so that he did not give anyone less than seven points for their performance. The actor is a self-confessed softie and believes that he cannot get angry with anybody. Great going Abhishek, this warmth is much appreciated. Hopefully, it will help you sail through in your personal life too. Is the cole-slaw'ish' girlfriend listening? Pehle pet pooja? Apparently, Sudhir Mishra has a secret recipe to extract the best out of his stars. And actor Shiney Ahuja swears by it. Which is? "Home cooked food, which I carry for Shiney as he craves to have ghar ka khana," says Sudhir. So what is his hot favourite from Sudhir's kitchen? "He is very fond of chicken cooked in olive oil and makes sure that I get it for him. But now it's his turn to get me home cooked food as his wife has returned from abroad," he chuckles. Of course, in return Shiney has to work very hard on the sets of Khoya Khoya Chaand. "Shiney is like my kid-brother and I make him slog to my hearts content on the sets. And food is the only thing he expects in return," Sudhir clairifies. |
