Aamir Khan: Shahrukh Khan is scared to work with me

Bollywood's top three Khans - Shah Rukh Khan , Aamir Khan and Salman Khan - are found everywhere these days. They are busy promoting themselves and their movies. While all these promotions are happening at the same time, the Khans can't seem to really help but take on each other. While Shah Rukh is basking in the success of his latest release Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi , Aamir is busy promoting his new film Ghajini and Salman is far behind trying to get a pre-release buzz going for his under production project Veer . When Shah Rukh saw the staff of a multiplex sporting the Ghajini , he said there is no bigger brand than ShahRukh Khan . "I think it is a good strategy. You take the biggest brand in the country that is SRK and then use that platform to publicise yourself. I think Aamir rocks. The problem is that I cannot use any another brand because there is no one bigger than me," says King Khan. This was almost under the belt but when asked Aamir why he and Kin...

Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan meet, joke about media

Aamir and ShahRukh up on Wednesday late noon at Mehboob Studios in Bandra, Mumbai. It so happened that, Aamir was doing a photo-shoot for the watch brand Titan with Ashutosh Gowariker 's brother, still photographer Avinash Gowariker in the Bandra Studio and Shah Rukh too was in the same studio doing the promotional video shoot of his home production, Billoo Barber . When Aamir came to know about SRK being around, he immediately went up to meet him. My source present on location reveals, "Aamir was telling SRK how it took him more than six months to build his eight pack abs and then how painful it was for him to let go of that well toned physique for Raju Hirani's 3 Idiots . SRK too told him that he too would have loved to maintain his six pack abs but to play Suri in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and for his home production he had to let go back to a leaner look. They even discussed their films Rab Ne , Billoo Barber and Ghajini and also had a hearty laugh about how a game of one...

Bollywood spoofs itself!

Look at what Bollywood is stirring in its melting pot of story Idea A heady dish on itself, with a masala cast spicing up the ingredients in the form of Hrithik Roshan playing a ‘superstar’, Rishi Kapoor a ‘producer’ and Juhi Chawla his wife, Sanjay Kapoor a ‘director’, Dimple Kapadia a ‘diva’, Isha Sharwani a ‘star kid’, and Farhan Akhtar playing the ‘struggling actor’ and Konkona Sen Sharma the ‘starlet’. Stirring the fires and ladling out this pot-boiler for anticipating audiences is Zoya Akhtar in her debut as director. The film, Luck By Chance, is being produced by Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani who, you know, got lucky earlier with Rock On. But don’t expect Farhan to be singing. The music is eclectic with a mix of folk, bass and sufi songs , plus — naturally, item numbers in true Bollywood style. “I’ve worked with Farhan before and we share the same sensibilities. It’s comfortable and fun working with young filmmakers like Ritesh and him,” said Zoya. Farhan added, “The film’s wide...

Salman Khan beats Shah Rukh Khan when it comes to health!

ShahRukh Khan may be known as the King of Bollywood but when it comes to health, Salman Khan rules. Salman Khan has been voted as the number-one role model of health in the entertainment category by the public of India, in a one-of-its-kind survey conducted by the ‘Complete Wellbeing magazine’. So in the ongoing war of the two Khans, India’s choice when it comes to health seems to be Salman Khan with 26 per cent votes. Shah Rukh got 24 per cent votes. That’s not bad given that John Abraham had to suffice with a meagre four per cent.

Kajol Devgan is missing Ajay Devgan

Be it her portrayal of Simran in Dilwale Dulhania... or of Anjali in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai...or now when she plays herself in television commercials, the one thing that comes across when Kajol is on screen is her spontaneity. And the ace actress is no different in person either. A straight talker who doesn’t mince her words, Kajol had some really nice things to say about the Pink City on her recent visit here. It was business as usual for the lady who was here to promote the products of a telecom company. But if Kajol had the option of mixing business with pleasure, she would have really done so in Jaipur. And here’s why. “Jaipur is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I am really missing Ajay at this moment,” was her candid confession. That her family is her topmost priority is something that Kajol has reiterated again and again, so when a journalist asked her, “Are you lucky for SRK or is he lucky for you?” she stepped back from her candid self and said, “Lets talk about the pr...
