AkshayKumar’s new love ‘Parkour’

Akshay Kumar now has a new love – ‘Parkour’, a French sport, which is the art of body movement. He first came to know about it when he tried it out for the Thums Up advertisement, which showed him jumping from one building to another and grabbing a bottle from a running truck. Now, he is quite fascinated with the sport and can’t get enough of it.

Parkour, often referred to as PK, is the art of moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and speedily as possible, overcoming obstacles in the way with ease.

Akshay has been studying the sport for a couple of years now, and is all set to undertake professional training in it. Sources say that Akshay has got in touch with the best Parkour teachers in the world to train him in the next level of the sport, which is supposed to be very strenuous.

The actor is totally smitten by Parkour, and has taught himself all there is to know about it. However, he is not interested in showcasing his Parkour skills on the silver screen. He plans to use them only in his advertisements. Could it be because the two movies in which he practiced Parkour – Tashan and Chandni Chowk to China – bombed terribly at the box office? Fans might get glimpses of the star practicing the sport, though, on his television game show Fear Factor.

‘Action’ used to be Akshay Kumar’s middle name, till his son Aarav was born. After Aarav’s birth, Akshay decided to play it safe, but now, the little guy is urging his dad to get back to his ‘Action Man’ image. And, being the dedicated dad that Akshay is, he has decided to take his learning of Parkour to the next stage. He also believes that learning this new skill will better him as a person and an actor, and equip him to face the increasing competition in Bollywood gracefully.

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. ...

Shahid Kapoor: I'm waiting for someone special

Bollywood’s man with lightening in his feet, Shahid Kapoor seems pretty chilled out and unfazed by controversies in real life. In town to shoot for an untitled film opposite Anushka Sharma, Shahid seems very comfortable in his skin. While he’s reluctant to discuss about his private life or his rumoured amours with Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan and Sania Mirza, the teen heartthrob says he’s “learnt to take all the rumours with a pinch of salt” and claims he’s just a “regular” young guy after pack-up. Excerpts from an exclusive interview: Kaminey and Dil Bole Hadippa... are set to hit the screens. Yeah. Their release dates are pretty close to each other. Kaminey will hit the screens this month, while Dil Bole Hadippa is slated for a September release. Both are very different films and I’m excited as well as a little nervous. The levels of expectations increase after your previous films have done well at the BO. Jab We Met was a turning point in my career. After Vivaah, I sat home for six ...

Aamir Khan: I love Sachin Tendulkar's intensity

What is amazing about Sachin Tendulkar is that for 20 years he has been able to maintain a level. There has been no dip in his abilities, his application or his passion for the game. I would say very few people could last this long. I've played cricket and believe me, you can't get out of bed for one week after one gruelling match. I saw him for the first time in 1988 when I was shooting at the Brabourne Stadium and he wasn't playing for the Indian team yet. The team was practising at the nets and I was chatting with Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar and a few others. At a distance I could see this kid batting. I was surprised to see that he was middling the ball; he looked so small, and so young. I was zapped. I wondered who this little boy was, who was being allowed to practise at the nets with the Indian cricket team. So I asked Kapil and Vengsarkar, “Who's he? How come I don't know?” They told me he was a new guy called Sachin Tendulkar, who was being seriously consi...
