Hrithik overwhelmed by dad's praise for 'Jodhaa Akbar'

When Rakesh Roshan, currently in Los Angeles, saw 'Jodhaa Akbar', he did what he had never done before. He told his son that he has given his best performance to date and the young star can't stop smiling.
Hrithik overwhelmed by dad's praise for 'Jodhaa Akbar'
"Dad completely floored me. He has never complimented me to my face," Hrithik told us.
"Whatever his opinion of my performance he never expressed it openly so far. It was always an understanding between us that he appreciated my performances. But this is the first time he has come out so openly to support my performance. I'm overwhelmed," he added.

Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, the magnum opus focuses on the formative years of Mughal emperor Jalaluddin Akbar and his marriage of alliance with Rajput princess Jodha. Hrithik is paired with Aishwarya Rai in the film and their chemistry is awesome.
The response to the film and to his performance has so far stunned Hrithik.
"People are saying such wonderful things. We wanted to make Akbar relatable to today's generation, and that's how he has turned out to be."
Speaking of how female fans have responded to his sinewy show of muscle power in the sword-practising sequence, Hrithik laughed: "Why shouldn't a woman in those Mughal times be shown deriving voyeuristic pleasure watching her husband exercising? The idea was to make Akbar a timeless creation.
"I was apprehensive about reactions. But it all turned out fine, finally. Thank god for that. The reviews have been very kind. We were lucky, I guess."

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
