Shah Rukh Khan tops list of "India's Most Attractive Personality", beating Salman Khan

Mumbai. (NB) - Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has topped a list of the most attractive personalities, beating the likes of Salman Khan and megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

Shah Rukh Khan has topped an India-wide, 16-city survey on "India's Most Attractive Personality", conducted by Trust Research Advisory (TRA), a Comniscient Group company, based on what it called a "36 Trait Matrix", to measure "brand attractiveness"..

TRA calls itself an "actionable insights and brand intelligence company" dedicated to understanding and analysing stakeholder behaviour through two "globally acclaimed", proprietary matrices of "Brand Trust" and "Brand Attractiveness". TRA is also the publisher of what it calls 'The Brand Trust Report'.

Following SRK in "attractiveness quotient" are Amitabh Bachchan and cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Aamir Khan is India's fourth "most attractive personality", followed by Mithun Chakraborty, Katrina Kaif, Salman Khan, Sachin Tendulkar and others.

Altogether 25 personalities from the field of cinema, sports and social-spiritual, business and music, were listed in the report.

"While we often see attractiveness only in terms of physical beauty, it is much more. It is a function of four founding appeals -- rational, emotional, aspirational and communication. When the quotient is high on all four appeals, the overall attractiveness quotient becomes high," said N Chandramouli, TRA CEO, said.

Other notable entries were Rabindranath Tagore, Madhuri Dixit, Sourav Ganguly, Sushmita Sen, Chris Gayle, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Anil Ambani, Karishma Kapoor, Lata Mangeshkar, Sunny Deol, Priyanka Chopra, Rekha, Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Abhishek Bachchan.

Following SRK in attractiveness quotient are:
2. Amitabh Bachchan
3. Mahendra Singh Dhoni
4. Aamir Khan
5. Mithun Chakraborty
6. Katrina Kaif
7. Salman Khan
8. Sachin Tendulkar

In total, 25 personalities from various fields (cinema, sports, social-spiritual, business, music) have made it to the list of "India's Most Attractive Personality".

Imran Khan's wife, Avantika, to feature in Gori Tere Pyaar Mein

Mumbai (NB) - Imran Khan has revealed that his wife, Avantika, will feature in his forthcoming film Gori Tere Pyaar Mein.

Directed by Punit Malhotra, the film tells the story of a man who travels to a village from the city to win his love. In the film, Imran plays a South Indian guy, who falls in love with a social worker, played by Kareena Kapoor. 

"There is one half-second flash where you can see her but that is because we know it is there," Imran said on Wednesday during the promotion of the film. 

"I don't know if people (audiences) will catch it or not," he added. 

Avantika has featured in as many as three films of Imran, Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, I Hate Luv Storysand Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu and the actor confesses she brought good luck for the films. 

"It has been a good luck in a couple of films, but it's a fun thing," Imran, who married Avantika in 2011, after a 10-year relationship, said. 

"She is very, very close to a lot of directors that I have worked with. She is very friendly with Punit (Malhotra), Abbas Tyrewala of Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, and that's why she is popped out here and there in the films," he added. 

Produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Gori Tere Pyaar Mein will hit the theatres on November 22.

Bigg Boss 7 might be the last season for Salman Khan

Mumbai, (NB)  - Bollywood star Salman Khan was so upset with TV actor Kushal Tandon's bad behaviour towards actress Tanisha Mukherjee on the show that he said it would be his last season with the reality show as the host.

The 47-year-old Saturday gave an earful to Kushal for insulting Tanisha last week. 

"If you are thinking that you can clean your image, it's a misconception," Salman told Kushal, and added he too had faced it and realised that one's mistakes are engraved on people's memories. 

"Because of this episode, this might be the last season for me," he said on Saturday. 

On Sunday, Salman talked about the issue again on Twitter responding to queries from his followers. 

He wrote that according to Bigg Boss fans both should have been out, "but there was a lot more than what you saw".

"You see an hour, I see the whole deal. Guess some of you guys may not react when someone speaks to female members of your family or women in that manner," Salman tweeted. 

"But I do not. Most of us men and women stand up against men who run them down," wrote the super star and added that if this is not the culture, "it better become".

The actor also said that people get carried away during the show, and praised the concept. 

"It's a good show to learn how to be physically and mentally strong. The tasks go on for 48 hrs and more. Without no proper sleep or food. Halwa hai kya (Is it a cakewalk?)," he wrote. 

"I am only answering your question about BB (Bigg Boss) because you are following me. This is a game. It's on TV so, I like to keep a check on it." 

"The choice is yours if you want to watch it or not. Sometimes people do get carried away in fights. Everyone does and then they sort it out," he added.

His younger daughter Sumita lives in the US. Manna Dey was undergoing treatment due to lung infection.

"Dey's body will be kept at Ravindra Kalkshetra in the city centre from 10am to 12noon for the public to pay their last respects and homage," a family friend said.

He recorded nearly 4,000 songs and can be heard in scores of Bollywood films Prominently 

Dey’s deep voice and mastery in singing classical music-based songs enthralled millions of music lovers. He started his singing career in 1942. He sang mainly in Hindi and Bengali and his peak period was 1953-1980. He also lent his voice to songs in several Indian regional languages – Bengali, Assamese, Gujrati and Malayalam.

His work as a ‘playback singer’ – who records songs that are lip-synched by actors – can be heard on scores of Bollywood films and their soundtracks, and his stage shows were very popular across India.

Born Prabodh Chandra Dey in 1919, Dey was popularly known as Manna, and chalked up a number of hit Bollywood songs in a career spanning six decades.

Tributes have been pouring in for the legendary singer from the government, the film industry and his fans.

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan tweeted his condolences, saying “Strange how we connect events of our life with his songs.”

President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh led the country in paying tributes to Dey.

India "has lost a veteran playback singer, a versatile artist of extraordinary ability and a creative genius who mesmerised listeners with his enchanting voice," the president said.

The prime minister described Dey as the "king of melody" and said with his death, the music world had lost one of its most talented artistes.

"I am deeply saddened to hear of the demise of the King of Melody, Manna Dey. An accomplished singer with a unique voice, he was multi-talented and excelled in Rabindra Sangeet and various other forms of popular music," he said in his condolence message.

"In his death, the music world has lost one of its most talented artistes. Dey's legacy will, however, live on through the many songs he sang," Mr Singh added.

Dey sang in several languages including Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Marathi, Kannada, Punjabi and Bhojpuri.

His long career saw him win several awards for his contribution to music, including state honours like the Padma Shri in 1971 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2005. He was also given the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2007.

Dey sang more than 3,500 songs, including romantic ballads, intricate raga-based songs, Qawwalis and fast-paced modern numbers in his career.

Along with Mohammad Rafi, Mukesh, and Kishore Kumar, he made up what was known as the "famous quartet of singers" who dominated the Hindi film music industry from 1950s to 1970s.

Many of Dey's tracks for Bollywood films became huge hits and he sang for some of the biggest Bollywood names like Raj Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra.

His most popular numbers included Zindagi kaisi hai paheli (Life, what a riddle it is) from the film Anand; Poocho na kaise maine raen bitayee (Don't ask how I spent my night) from Meri Surat Teri Aankhen; Ek chatur naar (A clever woman) from Padosan; and Eey bhai zara dekh ke chalo (Oh brother, look where you're going) from Meraa Naam Joker.

Shilpa Agnihotri evicted from Bigg Boss - Saath 7

Shilpa Saklani Agnihotri

TV actress Shilpa Agnihotri had to leave her husband Apoorva Agnihotri alone in theBigg Boss Saath-7house as she was voted out of the reality show Saturday night.

The actress had entered the show with her actor husband when the show began on Colors channel Sep 15.

Shilpa became the fifth contestant to be ousted from the show last night.

While Shilpa was made to stay in the heaven part of the house, Apoorva spent his days in the hell side. It was just earlier this week that both the sides of the house were merged into one, and the couple was united.

But the eviction episode brought bad news for them.

Shilpa was nominated for eviction this week with VJ Andy, Tanishaa Mukerji, Kamya Punjabi and Armaan Kohli.

The 31-year-old is best known for her role as Ganga in the popular soap opera 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'. She had earlier participated in reality shows like 'Nach Baliye', 'Pati Patni Aur Woh', 'Survivor India' and 'Welcome – Baazi Mehmaan-Nawaazi ki'.

Shilpa's husband Apurva Agnihotri, who has starred in Subhash Ghai's 1997 film "Pardes", is also one of the contestants in the house and just like her, he also does not indulge in the politics in the house.

"I just told him to take care. He is a good human being. I know he is a great contestant but not a great player. He can never be a player. He cannot change for the show. If he does then all the hard work he has done over the years will have no meaning," the actress said.

Shilpa also confirmed that there is a clear divide in the house as fellow housemates Tannisha Mukherji and Armaan Kohli have distanced themselves from the rest of the 11 members.

During her stay on the show, the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi actress was seen to be very close to her husband. She had expressed anger when he readily accepted a challenge to get a mohawk haircut. She had an emotional breakdown following the incident.

Shilpa also became friends with Andy and Kamya. She even sorted out her differences with Tanishaa.

For now, the Bigg Boss Saath-7 house inmates include Gauhar Khan, Kushal Tandon, Tanishaa, Armaan, Asif Azim, Sangram Singh, Elli Avram, Pratyusha Banerjee and Viveik Mishra apart from Apoorva.

More than willing to return to Bigg Boss house: Shilpa Agnihotri

Television actress Shilpa Agnihotri, who was evicted from Bigg Boss - Saath 7 house, feels inmates fight too much and she feels her early eviction from controversial reality show 'Bigg Boss' was because of her inability to stir up controversies in the house. But given a chance she won't mind re-entering the house.
"It is too early to get evicted but I guess this was destined, so I cannot complain. The show is very content driven. You have to constantly give certain amount of content to the cameras otherwise it is not possible for you to survive on the show," Shilpa told press.

"You have to have a very strong personality, create chaos, instigate fights. I did not do any of it. I never created any problems. I did not ridicule people, put them down, I just reacted to situations. So, I think that is the main reason for my eviction," she said.

The actress, who had entered the house with her husband actor Apoorva Agnihotri, was evicted on Saturday. Bigg Boss Saath-7 airs on Colors.

"Everyone felt that my eviction was very unexpected. I feel that maybe I did not give enough content which was why I was evicted," Shilpa said in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.

"The minute they ask me for a wild card entry, I am more than willing to go...at least till the time my husband is there.

"I feel so bad that I am here without him. I will probably cry when I go home...I will continue to watch the show at least till the time my husband is there," added the actress seen in shows likeLavanya and Kyunki... Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.

Talking about the Bigg Boss experience, she said that she was shocked to see how much people fight.

"Apoorva and I have been married for so many years. We hardly ever fight. Even if we start to argue, we stop within five minutes. But I realised how much people love to fight in the 'Bigg Boss' house," she said.

"I just detest fights," she added.

The house was initially divided into 'hell' and 'heaven' segments and while Shilpa was placed in the heaven side, Apoorva was in hell.

"We had imagined the two sides to be very different. We thought we will just not be able to see each other. But it was not so. We could talk, hug and kiss each other. Plus we knew if we performed well, there was a chance we could be together," she said.

Movie review 'Shahid': Gritty and powerful, remembers Indian lawyer Shahid Azmi as symbol of hope

Cast: Raj Kumar Yadav, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub, Prabhleen Sandhu, Kay Kay Menon, Tigmanshu Dhulia

Director: Hansal Mehta

NB Rating: ****

'Shahid' tells the story of a real-life person in a most life-like way. Those who know the story of Shahid Azmi, will be aware that the young lawyer was killed in 2010. He died in the line of duty, because he would not be dissuaded from doing the right thing. It is an important tale, and Hansal Mehta tells it straight, without any false flourishes.

If Mehta directs unsparingly, Raj Kumar Yadav acts unflinchingly. His Shahid is a man who grows in front of us, the audience. He does a course correction and changes direction. For a Hindi film protagonist, this kind of arc is rare. So is this story, which calls a spade a shovel, and names names.

"Agar iska naam Donald ya Suresh hota, toh kya yeh yahaan khada hota (If this man's name was Donald or Suresh, would he have been standing here)?" Shahid's question, in a Mumbai court room, addressing a judge, pointing to a man who has been in prison without any proof or evidence, other than his name, rings the changes. There have been so many incidents of false arrests and torture and custody deaths of innocents who were picked up and wrongly confined by the police just because they had the wrong name: if you were Muslim, and poor, and you were in the wrong place, or in the wrong eye, you were guilty of terrorism.

'Shahid' was also one of them. We see the degradation that he has to undergo in a lock-up, naked, stripped of his dignity. More than the marks of the beating, it is the way a fellow human talks to you and demeans you that kills the spirit. But the inspiring thing about Shahid's tale is that he overcame the torture and the beatings, and the shadow of his dark past, and became the man who wanted to protect and save others like him. Raj Kumar Yadav wears the character like skin, and becomes Shahid.

Other performances are finely pitched as well. Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub, after his terrific turn in 'Raanjhana', plays Shahid's brother with as much subtlety. The girl who starts to like Shahid for what he does , and then begins to resent the others' claims on his time is done well by Sandhu. Shalini Vatsa is absolutely believable as the 'madam public prosecutor', pugilistic, chin sticking out. As the practical lawyer who teaches Shahid exactly what not to do, Tigmanshu Dhulia does a nice cameo. Only Kay Kay, as the noble jailed professor who is a deep influence on Shahid, is a trifle stagey, but it doesn't work against the grain of the film.

The film never becomes strident. Instead, Mehta quietly exposes the anti-Muslim stance so deeply entrenched at every level of the law-and-order system. Cinematographer Anuj Rakesh Dhawan snakes his camera through tenements, cafes, trains and buses to create a palpable sense of a permanently festering city. Ultimately, however, Shahid is Raj Kumar’s triumph. His Shahid has strength, anguish and a controlled anger, but also real charm. His smile lights up the frame. See Shahid for him.

Actor Sanjay Dutt seeks parole extension

Sunday, Oct 13, 2013

PUNE: Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, currently out of jail on parole for a fortnight, has sought an extension of parole on medical grounds, official sources said Sunday. His parole period ends Monday. The application is under consideration and a decision is likely to be taken shortly, the sources said.

Dutt, 53, was granted parole from the Yerawada Central Jail Oct 1 to get medical treatment for certain unspecified illnesses.
His parole period ends Monday and he has sought another fortnight's extension. The application is under consideration and a decision is likely to be taken shortly, the sources said.
A parole is a conditional release of a prisoner for a limited period for a specific purpose and is strictly governed under Indian jail laws.
"It does not imply commutation of the sentence or amnesty and is purely decided as per individual cases at the discretion of the concerned authorities," criminal lawyer J.P. Mishra told IANS.
Dutt is serving a 42-month sentence for his role in the March 1993 Mumbai serial bombings of March 1993.
He was convicted by a Special TADA Court for illegal possession of a pistol and an AK-47 rifle.
In March, the Supreme Court upheld his conviction under the Arms Act and reduced his sentence from six years, awarded by a lower court, to five years.
He has already served one-and-a-half years behind bars during trial. He returned to Mumbai's Arthur Road Central Jail May 16 to serve the remaining 42 months in prison.
Later, on security grounds, he was shifted to Yerawada Central Jail here.

If granted, he is likely to extend his stay at home by 14 days.

She is a renowned actor and a fashion icon, what with legions of fans aping her style statements. Today, October 10, as Rekha celebrates her 59th birthday, she still looks as stunning as ever and manages to make heads turn. We speak to actors from the industry and ask them to share their thoughts about the star.

Rekhaji was always much ahead of her times, as an actor and a person. She lives her life on her own terms and is a true superstar. From Khoobsurat (1980) to Umrao Jaan (1981) you can gauge her range as an actor.

Bollywood actress Rekha was born on 10 October 1954. Daughter of Telugu actress Pushpavalli and Tamil actor Gemini Ganesan, Rekha didn't have an easy early life particularly because her parents were not married and her father didn't acknowledge her for some time.

Rekha started her career in 1966 as a child artiste in the Telugu movie 'Rangula Ratnam'. Her debut as a led actress was four years later in 1970, with 'Sawan Bhadon'.

The going was never easy for Rekha. Despite many of her earlier films being hits, Rekha was not appreciated so much in Bollywood because of her dark skin and South Indian features so  Rekha went ahead under a major physical transformation - from a dusky village girl to a glamourous diva. 

Apart from paying attention to her make-up, attire and working on her acting technique, the actress also started chosing her roles more carefully. It was during this time that she  perfected her Hindi language skills. The results were stunningly obvious and in the late 70s, she finally got the attention of all the actors and directors.

Throughout her career, she has often played strong female characters and was one of the few actresses of her time who dared to take up roles in films that were considered a part of parallel cinema.

Rekha has acted in over 180 films in a career spanning over 40 years and has won three Filmfare Awards, two for Best Actress and one for Best Supporting Actress for her roles in 'Khubsoorat' (1980), 'Khoon Bhari Maang' (1988) and 'Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi' (1996), respectively.

The most significant turning point in her life came in 1978 with her portrayal of a rape victim in the movie 'Ghar'. Her performance was appreciated by audiences and critics and filmmakers sat up and took notice. 'Ghar'making the arrival of a mature Rekha. and she received her first nomination for Best Actress at the Filmfare Awards.

By dint of hard work and dedication, Rekha has achieved a position in Bollywood which is exceptional. Actors look upon her to be like Rekha. She has created a separate zone for her. She has many successful movies under her name.

Rekha's long open secret relationship with Amitabh Bachchan has been an interesting subject for the media even today.

Her role in 'Umrao Jaan' (1981) won her the National Film Award for Best Actress. Rekha made a comeback this year when she took an oath as Rajya Sabha MP. She made her first appearance in the Parliament during the Budget Session.

In 2010, she was honoured with the Padma Shri by the Government of India.

Rekha is one of the finest actors Hindi Cinema has and she is a role model for many of the upcoming actresses.

Brand Rekha is a classic example of a self-created personality. 

NRI Bollywood wishes the evergreen actress a very happy birthday!

Ranbir Kapoor's Besharam Has Superb Opening At Box Office

This week's new Hindi release Besharam, starring Ranbir Kapoor , Rishi Kapoor , Neetu Singh and Pallavi Sharda in the lead has opened to an overwhelming response at the Indian Box Office . As per its early trends, the romantic action comedy film would beat the first day collection record of Shahrukh Khan's Chennai Express. It will also become the biggest opener for the Rockstar actor. The makers of Besharam have done extensive promotion for it and Ranbir Kapoor appeared on popular TV shows for its publicity. Its promos have soared up the viewers' curiosity to the sky high. In addition, Wednesday is a National holiday due to Gandhi Jayanti and that is why the film had huge amount of advance ticket booking in both single screens and multiplexes. Besharam, which has set a record by releasing in 3600 screens, has registered an average of 90% to 95% occupancy in the morning and matinee shows in the circuits like Mumbai, Delhi, Mysore and East Punjab. The Ranbir Kapoor and Pallavi Sharda movie, which has also got good occupancy in other circuits, has very good amount of footfalls at multiplexes in metros, when compared to single screens. As per early trends, it will do record breaking collection at the Indian Box Office on its first day. However, the buzz in social media is not very good for Besharam. Most of the viewers, who watched the film in the first show, did not like what they saw and they are busy spreading bad word of mouth on Twitter. We bring you some tweets of the film goers.
