Bollywood's Kick Ass Babes

Bollywood's delicate divas are now turning into action mode. From Katrina to Priyanka to Bebo, they are all doing it.

Slapgate reportage affecting my kids: Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood badshah Shah Rukh Khan Wednesday refused to categorically state whether he had slapped Shirish Kunder or not but said the reportage on the incident was affecting his kids.

"Lots of things are being said about my life in news channels but the stuff which you put up in the channels are not the whole truth. This is embarrassing at times as I have a 14-year-old son and an 11-and-a-half year old daughter," said Shah Rukh, who was in Kolkata to address a programme.

The Bollywood badshah felt it was embarrassing for a father to explain certain issues to his children.

"Every morning it becomes very difficult to explain to your children and it becomes embarrassing as a father, as a brother or as elder son of the family to explain about what is stated," he told reporters.

Shah Rukh reportedly roughed up editor-filmmaker Shirish, the husband of his former friend Farah Khan, in the wee hours of Monday during Sanjay Dutt's success party for "Agneepath".

"Bollywood stories are presented in a larger than life way... I have read the headlines. Yeah, some of them have not happened and some of them might have happened, but I would like to keep it to myself," he remarked.

Describing Farah as a very old friend, Shah Rukh regretted the reports that have been published about his differences with her.

"I have heard things that have been stated about us and it's very difficult for people to sit down and read things in the house. In our house, the kids call her Farah aunty. It's really sad when for last two years people say she said this and that... None of that is happening," he said.

However, he sounded hopeful of settling the differences.


"We can resolve our issues... certain issues we can resolve with hugs and happiness and I want to keep it personal," he said.

Earlier in Mumbai too he was evasive about the fracas.

"Did I tell you that there was a fight... no... so I will not tell anything about the patch up also," Shah Rukh told reporters at a pre-nuptial ceremony of Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza. The actor reached the function in the wee hours of Wednesday.

The truce between Shah Rukh and Shirish was reportedly initiated by Farah's brother Sajid Khan and filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala.

Shirish, Farah, Sajid and producer Nadiadwala met Shah Rukh at his house Mannat, where all of them sorted out the issue.

After the patch up, Shirish had told IANS that their frienship has become stronger than ever.

Veena Malik emulates Aamir Khan & Salman Khan

When Aamir Khan inked the GHAJINI tattoo or when Salman Khan flexed his triceps in BODYGUARD nobody in their wildest dreams would have thought that such manly gestures could be used in an item song.

But sexy siren Veena Malik did it and made it look hot in her item number 'Channo'from the film GALI GALI CHOR HAI.

	VEENA MALIK FLAUNTS THE 'GAJINI' TATTOO

Veena Malik flaunts the 'Gajini' tattoo embossed on her left hand.

	VEENA MALIK EMULATE SALMAN KHAN'S DANCE

Veena even also tries to emulate Salman Khan's dance move from the film BODYGUARD.

After refusing several item numbers in Bollywood, 'Channo' is a song that caught her fancy at the first hearing. "From the styling to the set up, from the tune to the choreography everything in this item number is different," says Veena.

Salman denies calling Shirish Kunder

The actor is reportedly upset at being drawn into the controversy

Salman Khan

Salman Khan is angry. The reason is because his name has been drawn into the SRK-Shirish slapping incident though he is nowhere in the picture. A couple of days ago, a tabloid had reported that a concerned Salman Khan had called up his friend Shirish Kunder to show his support after Shah Rukh bashed him at Sanjay Dutt’s party. As is well known, Salman and Shirish are good friends and both have a common rival – Shah Rukh.

Interestingly, when the report came out, Salman was surprised. Sources close to him have said that Sallu was clueless about the whole fight, especially considering the fact that he was not even in the country! Salman is shooting in faraway Cuba for ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and the area doesn’t even have a proper network. “How can he call Shirish to offer support?” asked the source.

Apparently, Salman’s family is very upset at his name being used in the fight. Sallu too denied calling Shirish or anyone else regarding the incident.

It looks like the SRK-Shirish controversy will not die such an easy death despite the reported patch-up. If Salman could play a role in it even when he is not in the country, we wonder how things would have panned out had he been at the party!

GALI GALI chor hai was written two years before Anna movement

GALI GALI CHOR HAI is up for release and Rumi Jaffery, the filmmaker who has directed the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Govinda and Priyanka Chopra in films like GOD TUSSI GREAT HO and LIFE PARTNER, can be heard singing praises about Akshaye Khanna who, as per the director, was always his first choice to play Bharat.

"Believe me, when I started this script I could only think of Akshaye. He is a very good actor and the kind of expressions he gives undoubtedly makes him a kind of common man that you would see in Bhopal or Bareilly or a Bikaner", he says, "God is really great because you may have an ideal cast in your mind but it may not necessarily work out like that. In case of GALI GALI CHOR HAI, whomsoever did I think of is there in the film, right from the leads to the supporting actors. I faced no issues on the dates or the price either. We went as per the plan."


Well, plans of GALI GALI CHOR HAI indeed seems to be falling in place, what with Anna blessing the film quite recently and then the topic of corruption continuing to be alive amongst 'aam junta'.

"See, we hadn't intentionally planned the film to coincide with Anna movement. It just happened that Anna became a national hero while our film was also completed around the same time", says Rumi, "We had worked on the script a couple of years back and after that it was god who helped us find a way. We have made the film with a lot of heart and hope that it starts yet another movement across the country."

With Shreya Saran and Mugdha Godse as the leading ladies, GALI GALI CHOR HAI releases tomorrow.

With kids around, no time for romance: Manyata Dutt

"It's (a good date) like a good dinner at home. Since now I have got two babies, I just can't think of romance alone with my husband. My babies are all over. It's just like at home with kids and family, that is what romance is all about," Manyata said here at the launch of Rotary watches.

Manyata and Sanjay got married in Feb 2008 and are parents of twins -- son Shahraan and daughter Iqra who were born in Oct 2010.

Recalling the most romantic thing ever done by Sanjay, she said: "He was campaigning in Lucknow for some elections and he hired a chartered jet and just flew down. Those days Ranbir's song 'Khuda Jane ke' was really happening. He was home before I could come back from work and he was there and sang the song for me.

"I had not seen him for eight days, so that was very touchy and romantic.
