Actor Sudhanshu Pandey, who is currently seen in the show ‘Anupamaa’, talked about the scope for newcomers in the entertainment industry and especially Bollywood. He also added that big celebrities could come forward and make certain major changes in the film industry.

“I think especially actors such as Priyanka Chopra and A R Rahman, who have both achieved big on the international platform, can speak up about Bollywood. They can expose the kind of pressure and bullying that happens in Bollywood, it is definitely very encouraging and people like them can really make a difference. I am hoping that people like them speak up more.”

He added that with certain efforts, there can be major changes in the industry.

“This could lead to a different environment, a change in environment. And obviously, it could be very reassuring for the youngsters, who come here and get locked out, because there are...

Bollywood singer Mohammed Irfan, who has sung songs like ‘Baarish’, ‘Ae Khuda’, ‘Banjara’, ‘Phir Mohabbat’, has released his latest romantic song, ‘Tum Mere Ho’. He said that it is a song dedicated to the emotions of love and romance.

Mohammed said: “‘Tum Mere Ho’ is a romantic song full of love, which will hit everyone’s lips every time they listen to it. People will not be able to live without humming it. Written in simple language and composed very beautifully, this is a song which will capture everyone’s heart and mind.”

‘Anupamaa’ actor Sudhanshu Pandey said that people’s mindset needs to change, as he shared his views on the National Girl Child Day. He added that it is important to change many misconceptions and notions about girl child in the society.

He shared: “I wouldn’t say that in India we treat women as inequality, we are the oldest civilisation and this is the only country that worships a lady called Ardhanarishvara which is a symbol of equality and a symbol of man and women in one body. The atrocities on women can happen anywhere in the world.”

“There’s always good in evil society, it is a part of human life and whenever there is something wrong there is always something right also. I would say that we have a festival called Navratri where we pray to 9 forms of goddess Durga,” he added.

Sudhanshu did both films and TV...

‘Kumkum Bhagya’ actor Krishna Kaul’s dream came true after he got a chance to dance with the popular comedian Bharti Singh during an award ceremony. Krishna and his co-actor Philip performed on the title track of ‘Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya’ and another romantic song ‘Aa Zara’ from Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandez-starrer movie ‘Murder 2’.

Post their dance performance, host Jay Bhanushali asked Krishna to recreate the lifts in the dance with special judge Bharti Singh. While he gave his best to do it perfectly with Bharti, he also adds that “it was a dream come true moment” for him.

He mentions: “I have seen Bharti performing since I was a teenager and I have imagined and manifested dancing with her on stage so many times. Today, that dream came true because I finally got the chance to dance with Bharti and I am really happy about it.

Bollywood star Jacqueline Fernandez, who recently moved house, admits she indulges in household chores, too, in between her hectic professional schedule.

"I spend an hour doing the house chores -- from looking into groceries to cleaning the house and looking into the food menu," she tells Ians.

"Living independently does give freedom but brings in a lot of challenges along with it. You need to have the right balance of personal and professional life," she adds.

If maintaining a physically healthy routine amid the grind of Bollywood is a challenge, and the actress has her way to manage with that bit.

"I maintain a journal which I write in the morning that helps me channelise my thoughts," she reveals.

She says her day starts early. "I am definitely a morning person and I prefer to start my day early as it gives me enough time for myself before the work commitments begin.

Actress Jacqueline Fernandez feels people are "extremely ignorant" to think successful people have not seen the dark side of life, and says it is difficult to hide real emotions and put up a smiling face in public all the time.

"People will be extremely ignorant to think that anyone who has achieved any form of success has not seen the dark side. For me I think the hardest thing is keeping a smile on my face when I'm not happy. The hardest thing has been not being rude when I really wanna snap. It's actually has been the hardest thing for me because we are all human," Jacqueline said.

"We go through mood swings, we go through ups and downs and good days and bad days and it takes a lot of effort to actually like sometimes bite back on those emotions.

T-series Mixtape season 2, the digital music show, aired its fifth episode featuring singer Tulsi Kumar along with singer Benny Dayal who have together, taken the music up quite a few notches.

Tulsi Kumar and Benny Dayal crooned to 'Sanam Re', the chartbuster from the film of the same name and 'Phir Mohabbat' from 'Murder 2'. Adding their own signature styles to the popular numbers, the two have brought in a freshness that is sure to mermerize listeners.?

Sharing her excitement, Tulsi Kumar says, ?Mashups require double the effort since you want to improvise on songs that are already perfect. That was the challenge and the most fun part at the same time. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Benny. I couldn't have asked for a better counterpart. I think Benny and I are a unique combination and have come together for the first time. We...

Bollywood is famously known as being escapist.

True, there are heroes who can lift cars, women who can change into 7 different sari’s during a 4 minute song and indeed dance in these saris amidst snowy mountains.

However, Bollywood can be non-escapist too as it deals with real life issues that are deep and sometimes that are at the core of us all.

As we live our lives we find that sometimes we tumble through, sometimes we swim and sometimes we sink. Or rather, we feel that we sink. It is certainly in those challenging moments of feeling utterly lost and betrayed by life that transformation occurs – if we choose.

Life is full of ups and downs and we cannot control the seasons that come.

Nevertheless, choosing to see bewildering times as transformation is in our power.

And films can serve as an inspiration to do that.

For some, films help to understand the world.

Week 4 of the popular new musical reality show The Voice India, continued with the fourth round of the Blind auditions. As the coaches aimed to fill up their remaining spaces in their teams, the competition to choose the best singers just got a whole lot tougher!

The first contestant of Saturday’s episode was Passang Doma Lama. Passang is 19 years old and she originates from Gangtok, Sikkim. Passang performed a lovely religious ‘Bhajan’ which pleasantly surprised the ‘fabulous four’ coaches, as the Bhajan also carried a number of classical traits. Coach Mika was the first to buzz, followed closely by coach Hr. Coaches Shaan and Sunidhi did not buzz this time. Passang chose to be in team Mika! The second contestant was Vishva Shah. Vishva is 25 years old and is from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Vishwa performed ‘Tu Hi Re’ from Bombay. Coach Shaan was the first to buzz, followed by coaches Mika and Sunidhi.

Saturday 6th June saw the first episode of The Voice India. As many of you are aware, The Voice, is already an extremely popular international singing reality show concept. The Voice has now arrived in India and has the multi talented Himesh Reshammiya (Hr), Shaan, Mika Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan as its ‘fabulous four’ coaches. The show is hosted by popular television actor Karan Tacker. Two of the coaches are also seen in their new looks: our favourite coach Hr, wears golden shoes, and has a statement tattoo on his arm to show off his new lean look. While coach Sunidhi looks incredibly chic with her short hairstyle and trendy outfit.

The Voice India is split into three rounds: Blind auditions, Battle rounds and Live rounds. Saturday’s show opened with short introductions by the coaches, followed by their spectacular performances. Their opening acts were choreographed by Terence Lewis. Sunidhi Chauhan...

Mohit Suri has become one of the hottest directors in Bollywood in the past few years after delivering big hits like Murder 2, Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain. Funnily enough, Hamari Adhuri Kahani is the first time in 5 years a Mohit Suri film doesn’t have a number in its title. Anyhow, he has now teamed up with two actors who have been going through the worst phases of their respective careers; Read More...

Once titled 'hitman' Hashmi due to his superb success record, actor Emraan Hashmi has been searching for that elusive hit for almost three years now. To be precise, his last big hit was Raaz 3 which released in September 2012.

In fact since Raaz 3, Emraan Hashmi has had some very promising films like Shanghai, Ek Thi Daayan, Ghanchakkar, etc flopping at the ticket window. Even his Dharma Productions outing Ungli failed to cut much ice, and the case was similar with his home banner venture (Vishesh Films), Mr X which despite the much touted SFX tanked. In all the cases, the hit music which was always associated with Emraan Hashmi films (and which earned him our title, music's lucky mascot) was clearly missing.

To cut a long story short, all eyes and hopes now rest on the golden boy Mohit Suri (Emraan's friend and cousin) to rejuvenate Emraan Hashmi's career and...

Though it's been six years since the actress debuted in Bollywood (Aladdin, 2009), it is now that Jacqueline Fernandez found her dream home in a plush locality in Bandra. The 'dream home' in question is a duplex flat with a beautiful terrace. While most of the Bollywood celebrities find the serene suburban area overlooking the sea a comfortable zone for their residence like Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Jacqueline too has decided to join the league.

From what we hear, Jacqueline Fernandez is currently taking care of the interiors and is personally supervising it as he wants her 'dream home' to be fully furnished before settling in. Jacqueline, who is also a fitness freak, will be apparently converting the spacious terrace into a gym and will even start working with her personal trainer from next month. Excited about this, Jacqueline stated that she is glad she finally found the...

Jitna dum aapke ek haath mein nahi hai ... utna dum hamari ek ungli mein hai

Raja Natwarlal

Risk aur opportunity ke beech mein hi toh chance milta hai... aur jo uss chance ke saath romance karta hai, woh hi asli raja kehlata hai

The Dirty Picture

Mujhe to chadhi zehar ki tarah... ki ab pani bhi peeta hoon na to aag lag jati hai

Last weeks India’s RAWstar opened with the challenge from mentor Himesh to the contestants, that they have to sing live in front of their fans in their favourite cities because performing live and connecting with the audience, is the only way to take their music to the next level.

The audience were shown, how the contestants participated in various radio interviews and their journeys to their home towns, to meet their fans.

The first live performance that we got to see, was from Jeffrey Iqbal. Jeffrey performed ‘Yun Hi Chala’ live for his fans and he received an overwhelming response. The second live performance was from Darshan Raval who went to his home town Ahmedabad, to meet his biggest fan and to sing ‘Pehla Nasha’ live for the audience. Mentor Hr is still amazed that Darshan has composed such a fine love song (‘Pehli Mohobbat’) at such a young age.

This week’s Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa featured the contestants dancing on remixed music that was created especially by Music Directors Sachin-Jigar. Saturday’s show opened with the contestants dancing on the song ‘Dil Garden Garden’ from Kya Super Kool Hai Hum. Music Directors Sachin-Jigar, were warmly welcomed on the show.

Hosts Ranvir and Manish then realised that all the female contestants were not seated in the contestant area. The audience was then shown, that backstage, all the ladies were following Palak’s brother, Kiku Sharda! Kiku had come to replace Palak on the show and he had impressed all the ladies already! Naturally, hosts Ranvir and Manish were disappointed with this development!

It was then time to get back to business, and see who would be in this week’s face-off. The face-off was determined by last week’s votes (there was no elimination last week) and scores.

Saturday’s show opened with much excitement as superstar Salman Khan would be gracing the stage of Jhalak once again. Before Salman’s entry, host Manish lost his watch, and host Ranvir lost his glasses! Then Salman entered the show and performed on the super hit Kick song (which has music by Himesh Reshammiya), ‘Jumme Ki Raat’. Salman was warmly welcomed by the hosts, contestants and judges. Salman also returned host Manish’s watch.

Next, it was time to get back to business, and find out the two contestants that would be in this week’s face-off. As always, all the contestants were called on stage but this time, judge Madhuri, announced that all the contestants are safe this week and that there would be no eliminations! All the contestants breathed a sigh of relief, and the hosts told the audience that the votes would be added to next weeks...

Mohit Suri, who has been on a roll with his last three films Murder 2, Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain, making it big at the box office now has an added reason to celebrate. The director and Udita Goswami, who married in January last year, are now expecting the arrival of their first baby. Mohit recently confirmed the pregnancy while stating that Udita is well into her second trimester in her pregnancy and that the baby is due in January. Udita who made her foray into acting with the 2003 film Paap after a brief stint in modeling is equally thrilled about her pregnancy. Bollywood Hungama wishes the soon to be parents hearty congratulations.

Kick is the latest Eid offering from Salman Khan after Wanted, Dabangg, Bodyguard and Ek Tha Tiger, all of which have been top grossers at the box office. Kick is a remake of the Telugu film of the same name making this Salman’s 5th remake of a South Indian film in the past decade. Kick also sees the re-teaming of Salman with Nadiadwala and Grandson Entertainment, their last collaboration being Jaan-e-Mann.

Whenever director-actor duo Mohit Suri and serial kisser Emraan Hashmi has come together it has been a bold outing! However, with Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain Mohit Suri seems to have shifted his gears or rather he has different working equation with different actors. Ask Mohit if he is more comfortable making bold subjects with Emraan and has sobered down with other actors, he replies, "It's just a perception. Murder 2 wasn't bolder. Awarpan and Murder 2 were also emotional films.

Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain starring Riteish Deshmukh, Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor is among the most keenly awaited films of the season what with his enviable track record of blockbusters behind him.

Talking about the film’s unusual casting, Mohit says, “I’ve never followed convention. I’ve never cast people just because they’re hot or popular. For me, it’s always been about who is right for the role. Riteish, for instance, has never done something like this before. You’ve seen him largely in comic roles. Yet when you watch Ek Villain you will realize that there is no one better than Riteish for this role. Sidharth has struggled his way up; he’s seen dark days. There was angst in him that made him a perfect fit for this film. Shraddha is more like a boyfriend, a guy buddy I can call in the middle of the night.

Producer Ramesh Taurani, who has over the years given hits like Raaz, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani, the Race franchise and others, is all set on launching his daughter Sneha as a director.

Confirming the launch Ramesh says, "Yes, we will be launching Sneha as a director next year. Currently she is in the process of writing the script of the film." Adding about the details of the film, Taurani says, "Right now it is very early to talk about it, but the film will be much like the contemporary films today and will be a hero oriented film. We hope to start filming the same next year."...
