RAHUL MAHAJAN SEVERS ALL TIES WITH MONICA BEDI
[23 Feb 2009]


Rahul Mahajan has done the expected. Not many people digested his philandering antics on Bigg Boss, where he relentlessly wooed Monica Bedi.





Those who know Rahul well were sure it was all an act; that it was all for the cameras.

To some extent, Monica believed him and that's why even when she came out of the house, she maintained that Rahul was a dear friend. But the actress has finally come to terms with reality. Rahul Mahajan has played the disappearing game ? he's distanced himself completely from her and Monica is still reeling with the shock.

There is no denying that while on the show, Rahul was desperately trying to seek a ladies' man image. First, it was Payal Rohatgi that was the object of his affections. But when Monica entered the house, the man quickly shifted loyalties. In fact, there was a time when Rahul even drove Payal to tears because of his calculated antics.

Payal took time to see the 'other' side of Rahul but Monica still had hope. Even when Rahul would talk about loving her unconditionally, she would ask him, "Will you stand by me when you get out of the house?" And Rahul never quite gave her a definite answer. It's only now that Monica realizes why.



According to sources, for the first two weeks after Rahul came out of the house, Monica tried to be in touch with him but except for a few pleasantries, the Mahajan boy just wasn't interested in initiating any conversation with her. He had promised to produce a film with her in the lead role and even publish a book on her life ? that too turned out to be hollow talk.

Now, the situation is even worse. After being subjected to total ignorance from Rahul's side, Monica decided to sever all contact with him. Rahul hasn't bothered to call her either. Insiders state that the reason could be the Abu Salem angle.


One may recall that while Monica was inside the house, Salem had been persistent about establishing his marital relations with her ? something that Monica has denied to the public and Rahul as well. "Rahul thinks that she had hidden an important aspect of her life from him so he doesn't want to get involved in this mess anymore," says a close confidante.

When we asked Monica about her current equation with Rahul, she admitted that they weren't close anymore. "We haven't even been in touch for a while now," she said. Not that it affects her in any way. She's all set to start work on a new reality show in February.

And come March, she'll be announcing her first feature film. Until then, she's busy doing stage shows all over the country. Monica is certainly on a roll ? this time, without Rahul.

-RAHUL: TRUTH??
[06 Jan 2009]
IF I WERE GIVEN A CHOICE BETWEEN COMMITTING SUICIDE AND GOING OUT WITH SHWETA TIWARI, I'D RATHER COMMIT SUICIDE






Even in present times, being a single and successful woman in our industry is pretty challenging. She often becomes a subject of discussion and sometimes, the ordeal just never ends. Shweta Tiwari is one of television's most famous faces but her ugly split with husband Raja Choudhury seems to have given her more acknowledgement than her work.



Ever since Shweta split with Raja, she's been at the receiving end of all kinds of link-ups and scandals. We had only just heard rumours about her affair with her Bhojpuri co-star Manoj Tiwari when the latest one beat everything else.

We were shocked when we first heard the rumours about Shweta's alleged romantic involvement with Rahul Vaidya, a man much younger to her. To those not in the know, Rahul's claim to fame was Indian Idol. He was one of the finalists in the first season and later even went on to win the reality show Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar.


The buzz has been going around for while now but sources close to Shweta insist that the news is being spread by the actress' detractors. According to a source, Rahul and Shweta first met on the dance-based reality show Aaja Mahi Vay where Shweta was one of the judges and Rahul was the host.

He further adds, "From day one, Rahul was totally besotted by Shweta and couldn't see beyond her. He even told some of his friends on the show that she was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen and was smitten by her. Moreover, he didn't even make any bones about his feelings. But of course, Shweta knew better as she had been through turbulent relationships before." Rahul had been previously linked with his Indian Idol co-contestant Prajakta Shukre.

One of Shweta's well-wishers informed us that this bit of news was only being circulated to tarnish her image because Shweta has no dearth of enemies. "Maybe it was more of an infatuation from Rahul's side and he got over it in due course of time. But people are just putting two and two together. They never had an affair. Shweta gave Rahul a lot of advice in terms of his career. She also knew that people were talking about them behind her back but she never cared. She knew what she was doing was right and that's what mattered."



One hears that eventually, it's because of these rumours that Shweta and Rahul drifted apart. It's been a while since the show has ended and reports indicate that they're merely on casual terms basis. Once again, a friendship has been severed because of the severe connotations attached to it.

Maybe that's why Rahul sounded so disturbed when we asked him about it. "Yeh sab sunne se pehle mere kaan kyun nahin phat gaye? I mean seriously, how can I date a mother of a child? Shweta is as old as my mother. If I was given a choice between committing suicide and going out with Shweta Tiwari, I would rather commit suicide. I mean, do we even look like a pair?" he said cantankerously.

The TV industry is a harsh place to be in and things aren't always what they seem. But it's time people gave Shweta Tiwari a second chance. She's been through so much already. And such nasty rumours are only making matters worse for her. The fact that she still smiles her way through it all is proof enough that she's a true survivor.

Hanif Hilal sets the record straight

In just three episodes of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 3 (Sony, Friday-Saturday at 9pm), contestant Gauhar Khan and her choreographer Hanif Hilal have managed to sink themselves into a whole lot of controversies. In this interview, Hanif, who was part of the first season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, clears the air of all the allegations against him.


THE choreographer, who has had issues with his partner Gauhar ever since he told her that he is not strong in Bollywood dance styles, defends himself saying that it boils down to a difference of opinion.
"There are differences of opinion which all of you saw on TV. Personally, I do not have any hang ups with her (Gauhar). I know what knowledge I have in what dance style and I am working hard. But when you encounter a person who is not on the same wavelength as you, then you have to let your work speak for itself. I am very confident about my work and I like to take up challenges so this is one kind of challenge which I am facing."

In the second episode, the couple took the help of an outside choreographer for their performance. On this, Hanif remained tightlipped, saying, "I do not believe in giving explanations. I cannot attack anyone, I never do that. Talking to Gauhar and solving our issues is an ongoing process. Let the bygones be bygones, I just want to move on. People have seen my potential in season one so they know how I am. I work to give my best shot on the dance floor and get good comments from the judges. I am here because I was asked to be here. I enjoy being here and I get the chance to meet my friends."

Hanif has experience in two realities, Jhalak's season one and Nach Baliye's season three, but for him, the former will always hold fond memories and that is why he agreed to participate this season. He says, "Jhalak is special to me as I have met one of the most beautiful women, Pooja (Bedi), because of the show. It has given me name and fame two years ago. It is allowing me to showcase my talent."

Finally, when asked whom he thinks will walk away with the title this season, Hanif says, "This season, all the girls are very good performers and even among the boys, there are a few surprise packages like Baichung Bhutia, Ram Kapoor and Karan Singh Grover, who are very good. It is very difficult to predict who will win. I can only say may the best and most deserving person win."

10 Qs with Monica Bedi

10 Mar 2009, 1050 hrs IST, Ravneet Kaur, TNN
Email Discuss Share Save Text:
What are your plans for Holi?
I have not celebrated Holi for a long time, but this time, I'm going to Khandala with my friends. I don't
Monica Bedi More Pics
really enjoy colours but my naughty friends make sure that I'm covered from head to toe with colour.

What does Jhalak Dikhla Jaa mean to you?
It means a lot. It's a learning cum dancing school where I'm being paid a good amount to learn new steps and dance forms. I'm learning different dance forms — the salsa, the rambha, etc.

Tell us about your practice sessions... what are your chances of winning?
It's the channel that decides the song. I rehearse between two to four hours, depending on the song. And, it's really not about winning, but facing the challenge.

Why don't you let your choreographer speak up on the show?
He is a very nice and clean-hearted person. I just don't want people to misunderstand him. So, I ask him not to comment on others as they may feel offended.

Who are your toughest competitors?
It's too early to say, because some may be good in one dance form but not another. Some may be good in Bollywood style but not in Western, so one can't really say at this point. It's just been four episodes and they haven't showed their skills yet.

Which is more exciting, Big Boss or Jhalak...?
They are both very different... in Big Boss, you had to be yourself and do some household work, while Jhalak... demands a lot of hard work and commitment.

Are you in touch with Rahul Mahajan and have you watched his show?
No, I'm so busy that I haven't met any of my co-participants from Big Boss. I haven't had the time to catch his show either.

How has Big Boss helped you?
It has helped me a lot. It's thanks to Big Boss that people's perception of me has changed. I've got many new assignments due to it, Jhalak... being one of them. It was a perfect comeback for me.

Who's your favourite participant in Jhalak...?
I really like Mohinder Ji's dancing. His expressions are too cute and, even at this age, he is so flexible. He is just like a father figure.

Who's your favourite judge?
I like all three of them, they are very honest and unbiased.

Bhagyashree out of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa
It happened in the first season. An actress (Rati Agnihotri) was the first to be eliminated. This time too an actress was the first to go. Actors, one believes know it all -- have the experience of dancing, facing crowds etc. But that is not true on reality shows. This time on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa – Dancing with the stars Season 3 not one but two actresses Bhagyashree and Shilpa found themselves at the bottom of the heap.

The two had to perform once again so that the judges could decide their fate. Both actresses once again repeated their act. While Saroj chose Bhagyashree, Vaibhavi favoured Shilpa. The ultimate decision lied in Juhi's hand, who was in a soup to decide between Shilpa's namkeen number or Bhagyashree's seductive dance. Finally, Shilpa Shukla the Chak De girl edged Bhagyashree out of the contest.

Bhagyashree and Shilpa had bonded well in the few weeks they were together at the Jhalak House and wished well for each other. Bhagyashree was gracious in her exit. "The catch line of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa asks –Aaj kya new kiya? I have done a lot of new things after coming to this show. I could not have imagined that I could do lifts ever. But I did. I am very happy. I will miss dancing," said the petite actress in her farewell.

Though Bhagyashree took her exit well, it was judge Juhi who felt sorry and was emotional. It was a sweet sight to see Bhagyashree consoling a teary eyed Juhi, when it should have been the other way round! Though all's well that end's well and now Bhagyashree will get back to her first priority – her family Watch some great dancing on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa – Dancing with the stars 3 at 9 pm on Fridays and Saturdays only on Sony Entertainment Television

I will win: Hard Kaur

Loud. Real. Not one to mince words. Hit with the youth. These are just some of the ways we can describe the pindh di kudi Hard Kaur. But we prefer sticking to absolutely lovable!

JUST two performances down and the 'Glassy Girl' Hard Kaur has already won the hearts of the judges and the millions of people tuning into Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Putting in lots of hard work and oodles of energy, Kaur has emerged as a very strong performer. The Punjabi kudi has proved herself to be a consistent dancer and her scores reflect that.
We caught up with Kaur who shared with us her love for dance and music.

Previous dance experience: When I was a kid, I used to perform at various school functions. I've even learnt many dance forms like Bharatnatyam, Ballet and Kathak. I've always loved dancing.

Your take on dance:
Without music, there's nothing and the same is with dance. Dance is the one and only thing that can make everybody happy.

Your favorite dance: I love dancing and that's the reason I love all dance forms. I love pop, samba and international freestyle. I love jazz, contemporary and rock. And in our next performance toh you'll see us doing something which has never been tried on Indian TV before and that is Lindyhop, a new form of dancing. Basically, I love all types of dance which are fun.

Person whom you think will win: Me, me and only me! (Laughs) If it's dancing wise, then me but if it's voting, and then God knows who!

Your favourite judge: I can't name just one, all the three judges are my favourites because I want marks from all three of them!

Quotable quote from a judge that has lingered:
There are two. The first was after my first performance when Saroj ji said 'ki tum aisa naachi, aisa naachi ki sabki maa ki aankh' and the second is when Vaibhavi told me after my second performance that I was "truly bloody Hard Kaur!"

Quotable quote from a contestant that has lingered: It was when Ram said, "Guys keep voting for me because all those votes will go to Hard Kaur".

Now playing on your iPod/music system: It is Ye Duniya Utt Pataanga from Khosla Ka Ghosla. It's very fun to listen to.
