Jacqueline Fernandez is a true rarity. She emits a startled laugh. Projecting an air of such peachy comfort in her own skin, of open-minded clarity of thought, I can't quite tell if the laugh betrays something vulnerable. I hope not...actually not. I know this because I've 'dated' her. She is fun, frolic but definitely not frivolous. In just her second Bollywood offering, you can see the beautiful lady has gone that extra mile to make it in the big league. Then a passionate Jacqueline makes way for the optimistic and a zealous one. With uncertainty lingering around the box office windows in today's times, Fernandez comes across firm. She wants to keep on acting, she wants to win the Filmfare trophy soon, she wants to be as lucky as Katrina Kaif (that's what we gauge from her answer) but more importantly, she wants to stay in Bollywood, and she will, knowing that directors like Sajid Khan wanted her to do a special song cameo in his upcoming flick

Akshay Kumar's secret hobby is revealed. For those who know Akshay for his stunts and acting skills, here's more news - Akshay's secret passion is to collect old Bollywood film and yesteryear stars picture posters. It's something even his closest friends didn't know "Akshay has been collecting these posters for years and has built himself a sizeable collection. In Action Replayy , Akshay plays the owner of a coffee house and when the set was being planned, director Vipul Shah mentioned that he wanted it to be a Bollywood themed cafe. They were searching for suitable posters but were getting only cheesy ones from the market. That's when Akshay Kumar revealed that he had many good posters in his personal collection but was in two minds about bringing them out of his house because he was afraid they would get damaged or lost. When Vipul took personal responsibility for them and assured Akshay that he would make sure each and everyone of them was

The famous 1986 Football World Cup. The infamous 'Hand of God'. Quarter Final between Argentina and England. Rings a bell? Where on one hand Diego Maradona scored the goal of the century, back in India, Maradona Rebello was born. Thanks to his father who kept his name Maradona after getting inspired by the Argentina - England match. Today, this young actor is making his debut opposite Bipasha Basu in the most talked about, controversial film of this year - Pankh Rebello is a rebel, when you meet him in person, you know he wants to spread his wings and fly, fly high in Bollywood. On the flip side, he too knows that before he learns to soar high in the sky, he needs to be rooted, grounded and a bit more careful in the big bad world of Bollywood. UK's Harrow Observer columnist and Bollywood Hungama 's London correspondent met Maradona who shared his debut, his fears, his individuality and sexuality, his embarrassment, the censor board and the diva who repeate

Bipasha Basu gets to do 9 different looks in her new film Pankh . She clarifies, "It's not nine roles as has been wrongly reported. It's just nine looks. I play a character who doesn't really exist. I'm the young hero Maradona Rebello's fantasy figure. Every look is a reflection on his mood. When he's mellow I come out looking like an angel. He sees me the way he wants to see me. I loved the script and the director Sudipto Chattopadhyaya's passion." The director wanted to name the character Bipasha Basu. Says the straight-laced actress, "Yes, he was very keen that I be called Bipasha in Pankh . But I'm not at all comfortable with my name being used for any character. I'd rather stick to the character's name Nandini." Belying the belief that she is not promoting the film, Bipasha enthuses, " Pankh is very special, and not just because it's my first so-called art film. But the minute I heard the subject I was

While the fate of the kissing scene between Rahul Bose and Arjun Mathur in Onir's film Omar hangs in balance, Bengali filmmaker Sudipto Chattopadhyaya's gay kiss in Pankh featuring Maradona Rebello and Amit Purohit has been passed by the censors, untouched. This would be the first time Hindi audiences will see two men kissing on screen. Madhur Bhandarkar had earlier deleted a male kiss featuring Samir Soni before submitting his film Fashion to the censors. Not only that, a sequence where Maradona Rebello goes fully naked before his screen-mother Lilette Dubey has also been passed by the lately-liberalized censor board, albeit with the 19-year old actor's butt blurred. The director Sudipto Chattopadhyaya has no quibble with Vinayak Azad Regional Officer of the censor board. Says Sudipto emphatically, "In fact Vinayak Azad has been very supportive. Its individual members of the jury who raised questions about the language and content. Some words from

Amitabh Bachchan is caught in a political controversy yet again. The 67-year old-actor finds himself in the middle of a row over his presence at government functions in Mumbai and Pune. While no official reason has been given, Bachchan's presence at a government function in Mumbai last week has raised hackles in the Congress party, ostensibly because of Bachchan's bitter relationship with the Gandhi family. Later the same week, his son Abhishek's posters were removed from an Earth Day function for which he had earlier been declared ambassador, organised by the Congress-run Delhi state government. On Monday, the Congress party criticised Bachchan for being a brand ambassador for the state of Gujarat, whose chief minister has not been able to shake off the stigma of the infamous 2002 riots. And Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan avoided the star at a Marathi convention, choosing instead to attend a day before Bachchan's arrival. "Am I hallucinating,

By now its common knowledge that the beautiful Jacqueline Fernandez plays a Girl who descends on Earth from Venus in Milap Zaveri's directorial debut Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai ( JKSAH ). However, what many don't know, is the fact that despite coming from another planet, Jackie's character Tara would be seen doing some famous Bollywood dance moves in this rom-com. Speaking about the same, director Milap Zaveri says, "The scene you are talking about happens when Jacqueline's character Tara is in Riteish's house and her foot accidentally hits the T.V. remote thereby turning on the T.V. Since she plays a girl from Venus, she is completely zapped by the television set. She keeps changing channels and comes across shots of Dharmendraji dancing to ' Main Jat Yamla Pagla Deewana ', Mithunda dancing to ' I Am A Disco Dancer ' and Srideviji doing her Nagina dance number. Out of curiosity she begins to ape whatever she sees on television an

In a career spanning close to a decade, Dia Mirza has acted in close to three dozen films. There may have been misses and hits but she has continued to stay afloat and make her presence felt in the industry. Now that she can be seen on screen in a solo-heroine act in Hum Tum Aur Ghost , she is enjoying all the good words coming her way. However, she also continues to battle rumours about her alleged relationship with Arshad Warsi. Coming up with a rather brave stance, she sets the record straight about the rumours floating round the town and announces loud and clear that such link up stories only make for idle gossips and should be best left ignored. In 'Bollywood Today', before the release of every film, there are link up stories that start making the rounds. Seems this time around, the flavour of the season is Arshad and you... (Smiles) That's only because there is a herd mentality when it comes to publicity and marketing of the film. People pick up what t

When the buzz on Saturday was that Minissha Lamba was very unwell, one just presumed it was exhaustion after all the promotion work that she did for her new film. But it was worse. The petite actress was down with a violent bout of food poisoning. Sounding pale and out of sorts but jubilant about the fabulous reviews she got Minissha said, "On Friday, Boman Irani and I were in Ahmedabad. I had this chaat . It tasted a little funny. But I didn't want to look fussy. So I ate the whole thing. The next thing I knew I was throwing up repeatedly." On Saturday, Minissha was too weak to travel to Pune for promotion. But she was happy about the fact that Well Done Abba was getting her glowing reviews. "For a girl who's come from the outside into the film industry it feels good to have bagged a Shyam Benegal film. I'm proud of girls like Kangna Ranaut who have made it without any help from godfathers. When I was called by Mr. Benegal, I walked into

His personality can daunt anybody, but one smile and you know that he is probably the most approachable man around. He might be famous for his intense acting and aggressive screen persona but he is also someone who can move you to tears in five seconds with a performance so realistic, you feel it's an out of skin experience. Yet again the undeniable Nana Patekar talks about a film that he believes in, that gives him an opportunity to play a character that surely moved him, in conversation with Chandni Dev of Bollywood Hungama , the man with a unrelenting aura, talks about his latest film Tum Milo Toh Sahi , over a cup of coffee. Movies are like commodities, actors and producers have been promoting their work over the years, but nowadays actors promote themselves too as a brand, talking about their life, and activities, but never you, why not? I am a performer and in that capacity I should be visible. See everyone has a private life, some like to talk about it and so
