Chennai Super Kings - IPL 3 Win

Indian Premier League(IPL-3) Night - Bollywood-News.IN
It was a carnival, no less as a laser show, a bevy of Bollywood Stars, Dancers donning elaborate feathered headdresses and furs, stilt-walkers and a mini parade float brought the curtain down on the third edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Sunday night.

As Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians pulled up their sleeves to fight the final battle at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, the tournament ended with style and pomp. Marking the sold-out gala event were big names in showbiz.

Crisscrossing arcs of colourful lights spun a web across the ground and stands during the laser show as soon as the lights went off.

Sounds of Jai Ho reverberated in the air as music maestro A R Rahman set the pace for an evening with Chale chalo from the film Lagaan. Dressed in pristine white, the Oscar and Grammy winning artiste set the tone for lively closing ceremony.

After a quick glimpse of Bollywood diva Sushmita Sen in the crowd, sizzling Bipasha Basu appeared on stage with dancers, who swayed behind her doing the round of the stadium in an open truck. Dressed in black shorts, black top and boots, she jived on the hit title tracks of Race and All The Best.

Tinsel town's chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor made a terrific entry atop a hovercraft. He enthralled the public with his power-packed performance on the song Chaska from his upcoming film Badmaash Company before he broke into a jig on the popular song Dhan te nan. The actor also danced with cheer leaders.

"I had a great time. I thought we are actors and we should prove our fitness. I will be rooting for Mumbai Indians. It is going to be a night to remember," said Shahid, who even sported a T-shirt of his favourite team.

Rahman set the final tone of the extravaganza with much fanfare as he swept the audience away with his songs Maa tujhe salaam and Jai ho.

Maa tujhe salaam was probably the best way to wrap up the closing ceremony and hand over the torch to the fighters of the day, the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.

Another highlight of the evening was DJ Shalom D'Souza aka DJ Hi Frequency, who doesn't like cricket, but rocked the stadium with foot-tapping Bollywood hits.

Shalom played her favourite Bollywood tracks along with her DJing partner DJ Devika and in-house IPL DJ Romit. This was only her second public performance and she was all excited about performing in front of 55,000 people. And yes, she's all of seven years old.

IPL commissioner Lalit Modi, whose future hangs in balance, too was seen enjoying the evening.

One of the six largest sporting events in the world today, the IPL has over the past couple of weeks been mired in controversies and allegations of corruption and plough-back of slush money from tax havens abroad.

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.
