Shahid Kapoor says (indirectly), I'm a top-fiver

It's an undisputed fact. The top 5 actors ruling the film industry are - Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan. But actor Shahid Kapoor's publicist has sent out an email to the entire media which proclaims, "Shahid Kapoor breaks into the top 5 bracket." So the big question, is: which of the aforementioned actors does the actor believe he has displaced. The press release by Shahid's PR machinery says, 'The actor who not too long ago spoke about how much he admired his seniors is now being hailed as one of them, at the age of just 28!' Another release from Kapoor's enthusiastic PR girl says: 'The newly tagged superstar of Bollywood, Shahid Kapoor has arrived.' In the same email it has been expressed that, "Shahid is rather shy about the 'superstar' tag that he has been given since Kaminey's success" Given by WHOM? would be a good question. While there are no doubts that Shasha is a fabulous

Shahid Kapoor is being mobbed by fans Can superstardom prove to be costly for an actor's life? Well, Shahid Kapoor surely thinks so. The actor has apparently hired bodyguards now. After the success of Kaminey, Shahid Kapoor's fan following has increased by leaps and bounds. Post the release of the film, when the actor visited a multiplex, he was mobbed by his screaming fans. So much so that, Shahid ended up losing his expensive sunglasses, and his metallic coffee flask was actually broken thanks to the out of control fans. Reports are that his spot boy, make-up artist, manager and publicist are almost doubling up as his bodyguards, struggling to keep him and themselves secure at public events. This incident lead Shahid Kapoor to seriously consider hiring personal bodyguards. When contacted, Shahid Kapoor confirmed the news. "Yes, I am currently in talks with some security agencies so as to make sure my team's security is taken care of at such times." Looks like Sh

Bollywood star on the block Shahid Kapoor has a Madhuri Dixit hangover . Asked by chat show host Farah Khan which heroine he would pick for his dream project — Sridevi, Rekha, Madhuri Dixit or Zeenat Aman — he didn’t waste a moment in rooting for Madhuri! Out of the heroes — Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna — it was Amitji he wanted. The film, set in the 70s, according to the mock discussion on the show Tere Mere Beach Mein, would be directed by Nasser Hussain, and shot in Kashmir, starring villain Ranjit ‘the rape specialist’ and Shahid himself handling the romantic portions. “There wouldn’t be any mobile phones those days, so I’d get a lot of time to flirt with all the heroines. I would flirt with all of them.. thoda thoda,” said Shahid. “And a little extra with Madhuri,” asked farah. “Yes, much more with Madhuri,” responded Shahid. He added, “I would also ask for a longer lunch break so that I can more time to flirt.”

Salman Khan (Wanted) Vs Shahid Kapoor (Dil Bole Hadippa)

This year Bollywood has just woken up to hits such as New York, Kaminey, Love Aaj Kal when the downside of which is that a flurry of unheard films are bombarding theatres. Irrelevant and insignificant films such as Yeh Mera India, Chal Chalein, Shadow, Chintu Ji, Three, Baarbarr, Bachelor Party, Fox, Love Khichdi, Toss, Aamras, Ruslaan, Sikander, Vaada Raha, Mohan Das- which of these films have you been highly anticipating to watch? We think none! Why? Because Dil Bole Hadippa and Wanted the two most talked about films are releasing on September 18, and this clash is certainly going to cost someone good as Salman has not had a hit in over a year and Shahid just delivered a power-house performance in Kaminey. Distributors, instead of being wary, are quite up for the clash as hope to make twice the moolah if both the films hit jackpot. Wanted is releasing in the month of Ramzan, and it will be a good time to offer the film as a welcome break for Muslims, who tend to come in droves for a

What’s happening at the Rajiv Gandhi Awards

Shahid Kapur and Katrina Kaif are receiving the Rajiv Gandhi Award for Entertainment. Here is what is happening at the awards. The awards are taking place at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, Nariman Point in South Mumbai. Shahid is being awarded for his subtle performance in Jab We Met. Katrina is being recognized for her spate of hit films like Race, Singh is Kinng and Welcome and the fact that she is an outsider who has overcome language and cultural obstacles to establish herself in B-town. The other entertainment personality on the list of achievers in different fields is child prodigy Avika Gor of Balika Vadhu and feature film Morning Walk, who is getting an award for the same. Shahid’s Kaminey co-star Priyanka Chopra will be showcasing her graceful dance moves to songs like Desi Girl from Dostana and Jalwa from Fashion. Esha Deol, who is a trained dancer, has been out of the limelight for a while and she will be performing at the event too. We wonder what songs she wi

Shahid Kapoor: I am a gymaholic

If there is a young icon for health and fitness in this country, it could be no one better than Bollywood Hero Shahid Kapoor. The actor is well known as a fitness freak and one of the most disciplined when it comes to sticking to his vegetarian diet. “I think being fit is one of the most important things today. Unfortunately, people relate working out to looking good, but it’s about feeling good about yourself. I work towards getting a sense of contentment. Gymming should not become an obsession but should be done in healthy moderation,” he says. Shahid admits that in his profession, being fit and healthy is more a requirement rather than an option. “Our lifestyles are so sedentary. We go to work and sit for long hours, we go out for dinners, we travel in cars, so there’s hardly any need to even walk. We need to get a certain amount of exercise, even if it’s just five hours a week; doing yoga, running, swimming, anything!,” exclaims Shahid. The actor admits to being a gymaholic and hit

Only young can lead India: Shahid Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra

You don’t have to wait for Friday to see Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor in their first film together — UTV’s eagerly-awaited Kaminey, we present Bollywood’s new hot and happening jodi to you today. Not as stars, but as guest editors of our International Youth Day issue... because, well, they are role models to the young. She’s 27, he’s 28, Miss World and Prince Charming, and if they are not the youth, then who is! They arrived together, but separately, two similar cars making the long journey from the same building in Versova, so that we don’t mistake them for a couple. She got out first, long legs flashing in a tight, short blue dress, he followed, in torn jeans and a check shirt; making a picture of sex appeal and charm, oomph and rippling muscles. Over coffee and sandwiches at the edit meeting — he carefully squeezing the cheese out of the brown bread, she eating without fuss — the agenda was taken up by them. What were the problems facing the youth in India today? What advice di

Bollywood Movie Kaminey won't release in Mumbai

Kaminey fans have reason to frown as the multiplexes in Mumbai will be shut for three days because of swine flu. Even the Delhi premiere has been cancelled. A source told, “Kaminey is not releasing this week and will incur a loss of 15 crores almost if it gets postponed. It is only in Mumbai that it is not releasing. Cinema halls will be closed because of the swine flu scare. The producers are very worried because they wanted to cash in on the long weekend as Friday is Gokulashtmi and Saturday is Independence Day. Also, multiplexes were running paid previews on Thursday night. Multiplexes are expected to open on Sunday or Monday.” The spokesperson of Kaminey said, “Everything is on hold right now because of the multiplexes being shut down. We are not even sure of the press show.” According to a reliable source from the film, the Delhi premiere has been cancelled and a screening with the cast has been arranged in its place. When we called up Cinemax, an executive said, “We have no updat

Shahid Kapoor runs away from Priyanka Chopra

Rumours are rife that Shahid Kapoor is leaving his sprawling apartment in Raj Classic as he is tired of being linked with neighbour and co-star Priyanka Chopra. Sources close to the actor said, “Shahid has been checking out places for a long time now, and has fallen in love with a four bedroom apartment in Juhu, he is tired of the link-up stories with Priyanka and wants to put that all behind him now.” Shahid’s 14th floor apartment in Raj Classic is the envy of many, known as one of the most influential buildings in the city, his father Pankaj Kapoor is just a floor below him and mother Neelima Azam is a couple of blocks away. When we quizzed Shahid in a recent interview, he laughed off the rumours of the relationship saying, “Any co-star or girl I speak to, the media goes on to link me with them. Priyanka is a good friend and a great co-star, nothing more than that.” He also takes his apartment to be the greatest asset in his life and to know that the actor is making a getaway from al

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
