Rakhi Sawant wants to marry Baba Ramdev

Controversy Queen Rakhi Sawant is back on television with a new show on Imagine TV.

After stunning the audience with her loud actions and shocking judgments on ‘Rakhi Ka Insaaf’, Rakhi is all set to host one of the funniest, bizarre chat show ‘Gajab Desh Ki Ajab Kahaniyaan’.

The actress was in the Capital yesterday, to address the media about the brand new reality show. What surprised everyone was that Rakhi Sawant’s saree went missing at the last moment. Rakhi, who was keen to wear a saree at the event, was really disappointed when she came to know that her saree had been stolen.

The organisers of the event had to arrange for another saree, as Rakhi refused to meet the media in any other outfit. Finally, after battling for three hours, Rakhi appeared before the media in a pink net coloured saree, looking no less than a diva.

As expected, Rakhi was at her wackiest best while she answered numerous questions that came her way.

Here are some of the wacky answers that Rakhi gave during the interview.

‘No controversy, not any more’

Gossip and controversy follows this babe wherever she goes. However this time, she is not in a mood to invite any kind of storm for her and the channel. “No controversy any more for me, as I have already faced a lot in my previous show (she got into a legal battle when one of a contestant, who came to seek justice on the show committed a suicide after being called impotent by her).

Ask her what was more shocking for her – the saree theft or her upcoming show concept; Rakhi quips, “My saree went missing at the last minute, when I was to appear before all. However, such incidents keep on happening and one should not lose his/her calm. But the show concept was really shocking for me and I am sure that it will take the viewers by a surprise.


On marriage – Baba Ramdev or Rahul Gandhi?

Even though her relationship with beau-choreographer Abhishek Avasthi or Elesh Parujanwala did not turn out well, Rakhi Sawant was at her wackiest best, when she was asked about her marriage plans.

Apparently, she took a pot-shot at yoga guru Baba Ramdev saying, “I am waiting for the day Baba Ramdev proposes me for marriage. I love the way he does yoga on television. He may be ‘Baba’ for all of you but he is a ‘Swami’ (husband) for me. I will request the channel to organise ‘Rakhi Ka Swayamwar 2’ and get Ramdev as one of the contestants.

I have noticed a number of times that Baba tries to woo me by twitching his eye-lids. I promise that once he is married to me, he would never flutter his eye. I was interested in Rahul Gandhi too, but I knew that my antics won’t work before Sonia Gandhi Ma’am.

On plans after marriage?

“After our marriage, Swami Ramdev and I will do ‘Anshan’ together and will take the matter of ‘Kala-dhan’ of Swiss bank further.”

'James Bond' interested in Bollywood

Hollywood actor Daniel Craig, the latest James Bond, has been in the news for not only for secretly marrying actress Rachel Weisz but also for his new cowboy film Cowboys And Aliens by Jon Favreau. He may not have good knowledge of Bollywood but he is keen to act in an Indian film if he gets chance.

In an interview to Mid Day, Daniel Craig said that India is a huge market for Hollywood films and that his earlier Bond films did exceptionally well in the country. On asked if he is willing to an Indian film, he replied in an affirmative, saying “nothing has come my way yet, but if things work out then why not.”

Craig is all praise for Indian women, saying that they are beautiful and will surely make wonderful Bond girls. He added that he is thrilled, as a few scenes of his next Bond film will be shot in India.

Well, let’s hope James Bond treat his Indian fans by not only doing an Indian film but also casting an Indian girl in a Bond film in the near future!

Aarti Chhabria wins 'Fear Factor - Khatron Ke Khiladi'

Model-turned actress Aarti Chhabria has won the fourth season of 'Fear Factor-Khatron Ke Khiladi' after weeks of gruelling tasks involving underwater stunts, fighting off creepy crawlies and jumping off dangerous heights.

Aarti and her partner Dhaval Thakur succeeded over singer Mauli Dave and Dhiraj, after facing two risky stunts on the grand finale, aired on Colors Saturday (July 23). Model Diandra Soares and her partner Arhan were the other finalists, but lost the first stunt.

Aarti made her debut in Bollywood with 'Tumse Achcha Kaun Hai' (2002) and later featured in films like 'Awara Paagal Deewana' and 'Shootout At Lokhandwala' amongst others.

The 28-year-old not only walked away with the title of being the 'Khiladi', but has also been chosen as the 'Thums Up Thunder Star', where she will get an opportunity to feature with Akshay in the new campaign. Her partner Dhaval won a Scorpio car.

The finale involved a stunt where the male contestant had to drive the car and the female contestant was controlling the vehicle's momentum.

In the second stunt, the female contestant was tied up in a bus which was set on fire and the male contestant had to unlock her and set her free. He also had to reach for the 'Thums Up' bottle which was tied up at three feet above the ground and whichever team did it fast, won the show.

The show, hosted by Akshay Kumar and shot in South Africa, started with 13 female celebrities. Models like Diandra, Alesia Raut and Poonam Pandey, actresses Aarti, Smita Bansal and Aashka Goradia, item girls Sambhavna Seth and Kashmera Shah, two VJs - Bani and Mia Uyeda, singer Mauli Dave and Dina Singh who is actor Vindu Dara Singh's wife and Anjum Chopra, the former captain of the Indian women's cricket team, were a part of this season.

'Khatron Ke Khiladi' is the Indian version of 'Fear Factor', where contestants undergo daredevil stunts to get over their fears and win the show.

Will these bollywood couples get married?

Shahid Kapoor-Bipasha Basu

Will it work?: No

Our take: We wonder how strong this attraction (if any) really is! In all probability, this is a rebound relationship for Bips. As for Shahid, he’s single and ready to mingle after his on-off relationship with Priyanka finally ended. Things look bleak for this couple.

 

 

Kunal Khemu-Soha Ali Khan

Will it work?: Yes

Our take: Struggling to find a foothold in the industry, Kunal and Soha have found great support in each other. Also, after her breakup with south star Siddharth, Soha seems much more secure and sorted in the company of Kunal. And we hear that mum Sharmila is supportive. This one could be for keeps.

 

 Deepika Padukone-Sidhartha Mallya

Will it work?: No

Our take: This one seems more like a friendship of convenience than a serious relationship. Dips and Sid are young and unwilling to commit. They even seem open to considering other eligible partners. This one doesn’t look like it’s going to be an affair to remember.

 

Genelia D'souza-Riteish Deshmukh

Will it work?: Yes

Our take: These two lovebirds have managed to keep their relationship away from the media glare. Guess that has helped them sustain it over so many years. Their parents, who were earlier not too keen on the match, are now comfortable with it. Even though Riteish recently denied any plans of marriage, we wouldn’t be surprised if wedding bells ring soon! 

 Punit Malhotra-Sonam Kapoor

Will it work?: Maybe

Our take: Director Punit and Sonam became friends first before love came a-calling. Though they haven’t admitted to anything yet, their close pals have confirmed that they are more than just good friends. They have stood by each other in the last couple of years and Punit has constantly been by Sonam’s side through her health problems. It looks like a solid foundation to build a relationship on, doesn’t it? If they manage to handle their respective stardom and success with maturity, they could make this a lasting affair. 

 

Ranveer Singh-Anushka Sharma

Will it work?: No

Our take: This duo is currently riding the wave of success and shares a great chemistry on and off screen. Ranveer is enjoying loads of female attention (Case in point: Sonakshi Sinha) and has always maintained that he is in no mood for a serious relationship. Though Anushka adores him, we hear she gets put off by his flirtatious and loud behaviour. Wethinks it’s quite a fiery relationship, but one that could fizzle out soon.

Karan Johar unveils Kancha Cheena on Dutt's birthday!

Actor Sanjay Dutt seems to have prepared a return gift for his fans, on his birthday today.

Filmmaker Karan Johar officially released the first look of Kancha Cheena from his forthcoming film Agneepath, on the eve of Sanjay Dutt's birthday.

Though Dailybhaskar.com was the first one to reveal the look, almost a month before, the picture released, has Dutt looking extremely vicious and evil.

The actor, who is now shooting at Thailand, had spoken about his career defining role to us sometime back, Dutt said "I play a negative character- Kancha Cheena and the best thing I love about him is the deadly look."

Sanjay had further added by saying, "I am sure it is going to scare a lot of my fans."

Meanwhile, Karan Johar too is ecstatic about Dutt's negative character  getting shaped up so well. He feels that it is indeed going to be a rage.

In fact earlier Dutt's friend Salman Khan, got so impressed after he was shown the first look that he tweeted his desire of being bald.

Here's hoping that Dutt's portrayal doesn't give Indian barbers a tough time!

Sacked, driver attempts to rape television actress

Television actress Ekta Tiwari was saved by her friend and neighbours, who came to her rescue on hearing her cries for help

Television actress Ekta Tiwari, best known for her lead role in Tere Mere Sapne, has filed a complaint of attempted rape against her former driver, accusing him of molesting, assaulting and threatening her in her Bhayander flat on Thursday night.

According to the Navghar police, Tiwari stays alone at her Naya Nagar flat in Bhayandar and had employed Mira Road resident Sajid Sayyed (26) as her driver three months ago.

TV actress Ekta Tiwari has filed a complaint against her former driver Sajid Sayyed for attempted rape

She fired him a fortnight back, following which he started sending her lewd SMSes and began stalking her.

"I required a driver and an acquaintance introduced me to Sayyed. I used to talk to him but never discussed anything personal. However, he must have misunderstood me and thought that I was attracted to him.

Sayyed began falling in love with me and started acting weird. I was not comfortable with his behaviour and fired him 15 days ago. This must have hurt his ego," said Tiwari.

Tiwari had warned Sayyed to back off, but he wanted to have an affair with her. On Thursday, Tiwari was at home when Sayyed came to her building.

He kept a watch the entire day and, noticing that she was alone, began shouting her name. Scared, Tiwari asked Sayyed to go, but he barged into her house instead and tried to rape her.

Rape attempt

"On Thursday, Sayyed barged into my house and grabbed my hand. I warned him to go away but he began kissing me violently. He dragged me to the bedroom and tore my clothes.

I ran to the window and shouted, but he grabbed me and pushed me against the wall. I got hold of my mobile phone and dialled the number of one of my friends but Sayyed snatched the phone, dropped it on the floor and pushed me on the bed," she said.

"He was trying to rape me, but my friend and neighbours came there and saved me. They tried to nab Sayyed but he fled, threatening to kill me and them," said Tiwari.

"We are on the look out for Sayyed. He fled the scene when Tiwari's neighbours heard her cries for help and came to her rescue," said API M Shivadkar from the Navghar police station, where Tiwari filed the complaint yesterday.

SRK plays watchman

The Khan is going all out to guard Arjun Rampal’s look in RA.One. He has asked all concerned to sign non-disclosure agreements

The look and feel of a film, and the need to protect it from leaking into the media is growing out of proportions these days. While Karan Johar took to the trend with a vengeance for his film Agneepath, Ekta Kapoor too followed suit with Dirty Picture. And now, just months away from it’s big release, Shah Rukh Khan is going out of his way to guard Arjun Rampal’s avatar as the bare-bodied villain in his forthcoming dream film RA.One.

According to a source, “Only a couple of people are doing the post production of the film. Everyone including the editors, the poster designers, the still photographers have signed a non-disclosure agreement with SRK so that they don’t talk about Arjun anywhere.”

“They are not being allowed to carry mobile phones during the post production. When Ra.One was being shot, the production team had asked all the crew members to leave their mobile phones out of the sets so that no one could manage to get a grab of Arjun’s look,” added the source.

Arjun Rampal, who had apparently become leaner for the film has a more strong and muscular physique in the film. And unlike his own six-pack avatar in Om Shanti Om, Shah Rukh seems to be extremely guarded about Arjun’s leaner abs.

This however, is also a part of SRK’s elaborate marketing plans for the film so close to his heart. SRK’s own superhero look in the film was released two months back. “SRK is guarding Arjun’s look for a very simple reason.

He wants to generate curiousity around it. Arjun plays the title role of RA.One in the film. Reportedly, SRK will release his look just 15 days before the release date,” said the source.

Arjun Rampal, despite repeated efforts, remained unavailable for comments.

My item song is better than Munni, Sheila: Aamir

Buzz is that Maliaka Arora-Khan, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone were all approached for the track and after getting a thumbs down from the trio, Aamir decided to take the floor. “That’s not true, they were never approached. We’d planned the song sometime ago and it was (wife) Kiran who pushed me into doing it. I agreed to give it a shot because it is a fun song and something I have never done before,” he reasons.

Is he ready for comparisons with Munni, Sheila and Dum Daro Dum? “It will be better than that,” promises Aamir, adding, “It’s nothing like any of these songs. It’s a tribute to the disco era of the 1980s. We’ve recreated the hairstyle, clothes and sets of the magical decade. And I’m saluting the superstars of the time, including Disco Dancer Mithunda, Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan), Rishi Kapoor, Jeetendra and Govinda.”

He adds, “I’ve watched them all my life, they’re a part of me. Even Abhinay (director Abhinay Deo) and Bosco (choreographer Bosco) are familiar with the period.”

Katrina Kaif turns designer

If there was any disappointment in not being able to work with Ranbir Kapoor in Ayan Mukerjee's film, Katrina sure knows how to get over it and how. The actress will not only be sharing screen space with Shah Rukh in Yash Chopra's next, but will start designing her own clothes too!

Yes, Katrina Kaif will soon be seen designing her own clothes for her upcoming films. She's already half-way there having gone clothes and accessories shopping with designer Rocky S for her rock-chick look in Yashraj's Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

Inspired by the immense response she received for her bohemian rock-star look, the actress approached Yash and Aditya Chopra about designing her own clothes in Yash Chopra's next directorial venture.

Hence, Katrina is all set to become Bollywood's first actress cum fashion designer.

Katrina says, "I was always interested in fabric, clothes and designing. Maybe I would have been a designer by profession, if I didn't start acting. For the rock-chick look in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, is not the first time I went shopping for my own clothes and accessories.

I dress minimal and unfussy. So deciding my own clothes for my characters is not a big deal."

For Yash Chopra's film, Katrina will dress herself far more elegantly and sensuously, her looks in recent films like Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara and the forthcoming Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Katrina will dress up in true Yashraj style, meaning very elegant, sophisticated and graceful. The thought of dressing herself in desi clothes has Katrina extremely excited.
