SHABBIR'S TAKE ON HIS FAVOURITE MOVIE

By: Haem Roy
DATE: June 20, 2005

Shabbir Ahluwalia

Film: Mohabbatein (seen it twice)
Scene: The one between Shah Rukh and
Amitabh where he says 'tumhare gurukul ki
har eet hila doonga'
Why I like it: They were two powerful actors
delivering the scene and the performance
generated was superb.


Movie I never tire of: Karma, because everyone was so good in the
movie. I've seen it thrice.

SHABBIR'S THOUGHT ON BIG B'S HEALTH

Should Big B slow down?
Amitabh Bachchan is in news again! But this time it's his health which is the talk of the town. The
question raised is that does he need to slow down on his work? Or is it a minor stomach pain that is
being hyped? Television personalities express their opinions about this recent turn of events and talk
about the superstar, whom they have all grown to love and admire.

Shabbir Ahluwalia
I don't really know about this. If he can, he should go on with his work. As once if a man retires or becomes less active then he dies down. Even after what is happening in his life right now, he can pull it off then great! See I can't really comment on such a situation actually.




SHABBIR'S THOUGHT ON EARLY TO BED, EARLY TO RISE

Vashi2Panvel.Com: Navi Mumbai
DATE: Sept 13

Do you belong to that genre that believes in the yesteryears' notion- 'early to bed and early to rise'?
If so, you could be an endangered species on the verge of extinction!
Today no one prefers to put the tag of the 'sages of yore' around one's neck.
The biological clock seems to be changing as youngsters now prefer night,
the ideal time for 'everything important'.
Who knows in some years we would start worshipping the setting sun instead of the rising!
But Shabbir Ahluwalia (Rishi of Kahin to hoga fame) does not appear to be a part of this 'late-
bandwagon'. He prefers not only getting up early on time but also sleeping early.
"I manage my shooting schedules such that I can sleep by eleven or latest by twelve.
I like getting up early; it makes me feel fresh the whole day."

SHABBIR-SHORT TAKES

I am scared of – God.


My wildest bedroom fancy - can't tell you!

Sexiest lady on screen - Angelina Jolie.

Fun is - being with friends and freaking out.

SHABBIR LOVES TO HATE

SOURCE: SAVVY.CO.IN

Women! In a tongue-in-cheek poll, tele hotties tell Sumita Chkraborty which woman they absolutely detest.
"I hate talkative women. Women who go blah blah are strictly a no-no.
Strangely enough, I am surrounded by them.
Now, I bet I am going to be killed!"


THE GAME SHABBIR PLAYS

BOMBAY TIMES

They may not get time to breathe, courtesy their soap operas and backbreaking work
schedules, but our actors make sure that they do manage to chill out and take a
break. And party is not the solution that everyone has on mind when it comes to relaxing.
For instance, Shabbir Ahluwalia, Chaitanya Chowdhary, Sumeet Sachdev and Rajeev Khandelwal choose to play squash and lawn tennis every evening together.
This serves both the purposes, they get to relax and also keep themselves fit.

MEET THE FACE OF THE YEAR

DATE: December 31, 2005


Shabbir Ahluwalia
Was seen in: Kahiin To Hoga (Star Plus) and Nach Baliye (Star One).
In the news for: A style icon?
Ekta's blue-eyed boy?
What was Shabbir Ahluwalia in 2005. To be
honest, Shabbir was one actor who gained a lot of
attention without consciously being in the limelight.
After getting enough popularity as the unpredictable
Rishi in KTH, Shabbir had another ace up his sleeve this year. The actor
got ample appreciation as the host in Nach Baliye. Here's hoping Shabbu
stays in the news next year as well — for the right reasons.
