Ashish Chowdary in grief these days....

Although the terrorists have been totally flushed out of Mumbai, but with them Mumbai has suffered a huge loss in private properties as well as human losses. It has been found that a total of 130 deaths has been claimed and over 300 injured. Well of these 130 dead innocent people, the unfortunate sister and brother-in-law of the bollywood actor Ashish Chowdhary has also lost their lives in this terror strike.

On 26th November , when all things were going fine two fully armed terrorists attacked and hijacked Trident hotel (then OBEROI HOTEL).. and in this terror strike both of them were shot dead by the terrorists. Ashish could not control his emotions when he got to know about thier death. He was allowed to see their dead bodies yesterday evening when Oberoi mission was accomplished. Ashish broke down to tears on seeing his closed ones dead and quickly got into his car and drove way to home.

We can understand your pain Ashish , but we have to be strong to fight these terrors...Hope their soul live in peace....

Himesh Reshammiya declined A.R.Rehman's offer...

Recently i got to know that the very talented music composer, director, singer Mr.A.R.Rehman has composed a song for a film, to which he thought that the famous nasal singer Himesh Reshammiya (HR) would be an apt choice for the song, so he approached HR to sing that song.

On the contrary, you wont believe but HR declined this offer since he has already made a strong policy of singing songs which belongs to a movie in which he is (TRYNG) acting. Well he respectfully declined A.R.Rehman's offer but instead HR has some other plans in his minds.HR asked to compose few songs in HR's forthcoming movies, since he is an avid fan of Mr.Rehman. Lets see if Mr. Rehman accepts his offer and acclaims a superhit song for a Himesh Reshammiya movie...whoz interested aftr all to watch him...

Great Going Mr. Rehman .....WE ALL LOVE YOU !!!!

Salman weeps about his recent spat with his old pal--SRK...

Though Shahrukh many times spoke about his spat which took place at Katrina’s birthday bash, Salman has hardly spoken in media. Like King Khan, Salman was also hurt for loosing a close and old friend like him. Salman was uninvited at SRK’s birthday but his family graces the occasion. While speaking to media about the fight, he was in tears.

When asked what he thinks about his family participating Shahrukh’s party, he remarked, "If they want to participate in SRK’s family events they are more than welcome to do that. But don’t you think that it’s a kind of a joke that from one side it’s straight from the heart one family and from one family it’s straight from the brain? Oh yeh Salman ke behalf pe aa rahe hai so he (Salman) looks like a fool. Yeh sabko bulaya gaya, yeh sab aayenge, they are all here, so Salman must be wrong. Because my family is socializing at SRK’s family events!"

Salman then went onto state that it was Shahrukh who told the media about their little disagreement. "As soon as Shahrukh left the party, he started calling up the media! I didn’t speak till one week after the fight because he was trying to put me in the middle of something which is not cool from any angle! That is the time I stood up and started speaking. There is no reason for disrespect. Everybody messes up. I have messed up also not once but so many times, without any malice, any manipulation or agenda. If things go wrong between two buddies we say 'okay buddy let’s hang out together and sort it out' but if you are going to mess up and disrespect me then forget it,” said a tearful Salman.

John's serious about his acting skills these days!!!

In the last 3 years, he has proved his mettle in films like No Smoking (surreal), Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal (sports), Water (period), Salaam-e-Ishq (emotional), Kabul Express (action drama), Taxi No. 9211 (comic drama), Zinda (intense) and Garam Masala (comedy). Still, John Abraham is being tagged as a non-actor by quite a few of his detractors. Does he ever wonder why?

"Well, you have rightly put them as detractors. Quite a lot of them actually are of such breed though there are some well wishers who are genuine in their feedback and point out things which are meant to be improved. I truly appreciate such criticism and accept their feedback graciously. As for the rest they can forever continue to speak the way they do. I can't do things just in order to please them", says John in an earnest tone even as he gets ready to battle the critics once again with Dostana.

"Sach bolun toh not at all", says John without blinking an eyelid, "Listening to them is like listening to a broken record. It goes on and on without any rhyme or reason and I don't have time or energy to correct it. What matters to me is whether my audiences, producers and directors want me on screen or not."

Mentioning about his endeavor to be a part of commercial cinema, John says, "I have to give quality films to my audience. I want to see them laugh and make them happy. My kind of cinema has to be very good and commercial. And I can proudly and confidently say that Dostana is a piece of such cinema."

PRIETY EAGER TO DO HAPPY ROLES....SO WE ARE..!!!

Preity Zinta is proud of her work in the last year in such movies as The Last Lear, Heaven on Earth and Heroes. Heaven on Earth in particular has done well at the Toronto, London and Chicago International Film Festivals where Preity won the Best Actress Award, the Silver Hugo. However, she says she wants to break away now from doing sad roles for a while.

"I've been so sad in my last couple of films," she says. "Maybe I ought to do a romance, because in those roles I look better and feel - ah, so happy! I could even do an action film, because that's the only genre left that I've not ventured into."

Her penetrating role as a widowed mother in Heroes has also brought her a great deal of attention. She is particularly pleased as many of her friends were urging her to turn down the difficult role. How did she feel about that?

"Well, it was quite disappointing that many of my close friends kept discouraging me from playing this role," she says. "But, it was falling in love with my characterization once the director had narrated it to me that changed my mind. The character of the Punjabi girl reminded me of my mother and many complimented me for it, especially in my wedding clothes."

Preity has a degree in criminal psychology and is co-owner of the Punjabi Kings cricket team. She won a National Bravery Award for testifying against the Indian mafia in the Bharat Shah case in 2003. She is a real-life hero.
