Ameesha going through a mid-life crisis?

Ameesha Patel seems to be going through a painful mid-life crisis. What else could explain her recent age inappropriate outfits, that seem to have been pillaged from the closet of a 16-year-old?

 

Here she's wearing shorts so tiny that from this unfortunate angle, it looks like she isn't wearing anything but that tank top and high heels!

 

The cutesy jumpsuit and pink nailpolish would be tolerable in doses, but these kind of ensembles seem to be only kind of looks that Ameesha (37) is sporting these days

 

She turns up in yet another pair of too-tiny shorts for the screening of a movie and teams them with a white tank, neon headband and platform slippers. Friends & family, we recommend a fashion intervention. Soon.

Newsmaker 2012: Salman Khan

Salman Khan. The name is enough to set the cash registers ringing, it seems. Blockbuster films and sky-rocketing TRPs kept the Dabangg Khan in the news all year round. The notorious Khan has got a blast from his controversial past towards the end of the year, but we think Sallu bhai's gold chase will hardly be affected by the same.

200cr ka tiger
It is almost routine for Salman Khan films to enter the 100-crore club. But his last film, 'Ek Tha Tiger' created history by achieving the magical 200 crore mark! Paired up with ex-flame, katrina Kaif, this Kabir Khan directed film was (surprisingly for a Salman Khan film) appreciated by a large part of critics as well. Releasing on Eid, which is reportedly the actor's lucky day, the film opened to packed houses has made the fastest 100 crore in Bollywood!

Peece maker?
After being shunned by the first wives club of Bollywood of her alleged affair with Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka was spotted at arch rival Salman Khan's house late in the night. The two were snapped by photographers early in the morning when Piggy Chops was being escorted out of the building to her car by Salman. According to a tabloid report, on the same night director Kabir Khan had thrown a success party of 'Ek Tha Tiger' but Salman missed the do. 

Bigg Boss Season 6
Salman returned to the small screen once again with Bigg Boss season 6. But the actor's paycheck was anything but small. He became the highest paid Bollywood star on Indian TV by taking home Rs 3.8 to 4 crore per episode! Salman beat the likes of Aamir Khan (Satyamev Jayate), Amitabh Bachchan (Kaun Banega Crorepati) and Madhuri Dixit (Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa) for the title. His anchor act in the current season of Bigg Boss is also being appreciated by his loyalists.

The Buck never stops!
A local court in Jodhpur on December 10 summoned Salman Khan and four other actors including Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam to appear before February 4 for the framing of charges in the black buck poaching case. Two blackbucks were allegedly poached on October 1-2 in 1998 during the filming of 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'. Trouble doesn't end for Salman here as he has also been summoned in the 2002 hit-and-run case after complainant claims evidence was faked to manipulate the trial. The Dabangg actor might just have to spend his birthday doing rounds of the court.

But all was not lost as the Khan returned with Dabangg 2 directed by brother Arbaaz. Reportedly, the film has already made 60cr and will soon enter the coveted 100 crore club. It’s music also created waves and Kareena Kapoor's first ever item number 'Fevicol Se', topped the chartbusters even before the film released!

Monsoon special: Anushka Sharma

The rains are here! The sun is on its annual leave. Just the perfect time to put your work on the back burner and sit by the window watching the heavens open up with some masala chai and hot pakodas for company or go a long bike ride with your beloved. But there’s a flip side to it. The romance of the season comes with a reality check. Water clogged roads, muck on the streets, dampness all around, high humidity, frizzy hair, wet clothes, smudged make-up, oily skin… the list is endless. But there’s good news. Starting todya Filmfare gets our B town divas to let you in on their solutions to some rain related problems. They can really swivel around fashionably even in gunk. Have a problem with your make-up or hair? No worries. Just read on. Now, if you’re taking tips you’d rather take it from the experts, right?

Prancing in the rain: Anushka Sharma

I prefer sticking to good quality cotton outfits and avoid fabrics that have a tendency to stick to the skin during rains. Bold colours, bright gumboots; anything that uplifts your mood on a gloomy rainy day.

As for shoes I like to keep it comfortable with closed shoes, flats and gumboots.

I keep my make-up waterproof and preferably not there at all.

My skin around this time is cleansed regularly. One must eat right and drink lots of water to flush out the toxins. Moisturise your body with a light moisturiser to stay hydrated.

I like to wear my hair with a serum to avoid frizziness and tie it up as much as possible.  A lot of people don’t realise it but the high levels of humidity dehydrate the hair. Since you wash your hair more often, make sure you oil it before washing to maintain its softness.

Romance is in the air and sharing an umbrella with someone is my fondest memory.

When it’s raining I like to have pakoras, bhuttas, chai and sit at home doing nothing.

My workouts cannot be excused just because it’s raining and yours shouldn’t be either! Eat everything in moderation and exercise indoors if you can’t go out.


Expert speak for the day:

Pooja Makhija – Nutrition consultant
“Monsoons tend to bring out one’s naughty cravings for fried food. Play smart and swap the calorie laden bhajiyas and batata wadas for a cup of boiled corn or a toasty sandwich, sure to satisfy your ‘potato and spice’ yearnings minus the grease. tSpice up the gloomy days with some steaming idlis, uttapams or hot rasam. Boiled chanas or a chatpata roadside bhutta makes for a good snack too.”

Deepika is the new Juliet?

 After Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s comment that no married woman could be his Juliet, and Kareena Kapoor walking out of the movie citing contractual differences, the role of the legendary lover in his Ram Leela was up for grabs. Apparently, Bhansali wanted Priyanka Chopra and later Katrina Kaif to play the role. But as the role supposedly was about a character who was fair, Kat was preferred. But she didn’t have the dates. As Deepika Padukone had the dates, SLB was more than happy to have the Cocktail girl play his Juliet.

Sunny Leone is not Karen Malhotra!

Mumbai: The ‘too hot to handle’ adult film sensation Sunny Leone is in news yet again. This time the smokin’ hot beauty has stirred the hornet’s nest over her name.

The hottie became a household name ever since her debut on Indian TV, through superhit reality show ‘Bigg Boss 5’. And that Karen Malhotra was Sunny Leone’s real name was made familiar to all by Salman Khan when he introduced the sizzler in the last season of ‘Bigg Boss’.

However, it has now emerged that the Canadian adult film star`s real name is not Karen Malhotra, but Karenjit Kaur Vohra.

This has been ascertained on various websites which have carried a picture of her passport with her actual name.

But why did she change it to Malhotra and then to Leone? Well, sources say that her surname `Leone` was coined from `lioness` because she is a Punjabi Kaur.

Talking about the name game, Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar remarked, “A lioness is a lioness, whether you call her a Kaur Vohra, Malhotra or Leone. After all, what`s in a name? It`s the mindset, intelligence, intellect and personality that make a gritty lady what she is. And Brand Sunny Leone has that grit in abundance.”

Hmm…no denying that.

Acting was never on my agenda: Nargis Fakhri

She was happy walking international runways as a model when 'Rockstar' happened. Nargis Fakhri, who played the female lead opposite Ranbir Kapoor in the Imtiaz Ali directed film, says she never wanted to become an actress.
Born to a Czech mother and a Pakistani father, Nargis made a much-hyped debut at the age of 32 with the film. The model-turned-actress says she has no regrets entering Bollywood late in her career as acting was never on her agenda.
"Acting was never on the agenda, so I think 'Rockstar' happened at the right time. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for 'Rockstar'. I have been modeling since I was 16. I am very new to the film industry and while I thoroughly enjoy my new job, there is still a lot for me to learn," said Nargis.
Even though her performance as Heer Kaul in 'Rockstar' met with criticism, the newbie actress remains undeterred, saying the comments have helped her overcome flaws.
"I deal with the criticism the same way I deal with the praise. I am a very positive person and when people criticize it helps me overcome my flaws. I am very new to this industry so I take it as an experience and feel motivated to do better," she said.
'Rockstar' came out in November 2011 and Nargis is yet to sign another film, saying that she is waiting for the right project.
"After being a part of a film like 'Rockstar', my next project has to be as good or better. I have read some great scripts and I think we will announce something soon. I was in no hurry to sign something. I wanted to wait for something exciting, and if that meant waiting for a while, then so be it," she said. 
Nargis was not an active part of promotions of 'Rockstar' and even after the release she didn't expose herself to the media hype. The actress says she stayed away from the limelight to guard her personal life.
"I don't think I am an introvert at all. But I am guarded about my personal life and I think that's important when you work in this industry."
Despite being exposed to the world of show business as a model, Nargis says she was not prepared for the kind of attention she got post the film's release.
"Nothing can prepare you for this. I still get very nervous when I have to face a lot of people. It freaks me out to see so many people in front of me, calling out my name," she said.
And she is also aware of the pressure that comes alongwith the attention.
"It is a big achievement to be recognized in the Indian film fraternity as it has such great talents. But there is also a lot of responsibility that comes along, a lot of pressure about what your next project is, how you look, speak, act etc," Nargis said.

Salman's marriage is Aamir's birthday wish

Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has been concerned about fellow Khan star Salman's love life.
On his birthday, instead of wishing something for himself, Aamir on Wednesday wished for a perfect match for his good friend.

"Salman saab ke liye hum dua karte hai ki unko ishq ho jaye aur unki shaadi ho jaye (We pray for Salman that he falls in love and gets married)," Aamir said.
Last year also Aamir had expressed the same desire to see Salman get hitched. "I will tie his hands and legs and get him married. We will all be happy then," he had then said.
In fact, Aamir's wish list did not end at Salman's wedding.
When asked if Salman deserved Re 1 more than Shah Rukh Khan, as the actor was quoted recently, Aamir said, "I think Salman deserves much more than that."
It seems that Aamir is already having a good year. With no birthday wishes for himself, he only hopes for his friend Salman to finally tie the knot.

YRF`s next not titled `London Ishq`

New Delhi: Yash Raj Films (YRF) officials says that their next production, directed by head honcho Yash Chopra, is not titled "London Ishq", as has been reported in certain sections of the media.

"Despite repeated confirmations that Yash Chopra`s film still remains untitled, large sections of the media continue to call it `London Ishq`. This is completely baseless, inaccurate and detrimental to the film," said an official statement from YRF.

The yet-to-be titled film, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, started shooting for its first schedule in the third week of February in London. It has been creating a huge buzz all over since the first look was unveiled.

The film also brings together the Oscar award-winning pair of A.R.Rahman and Gulzar, who along with Chopra, are working on creating some wonderful and meaningful music.

Scheduled for a Diwali release, the film is expected to add the same fervour to the festive time that Chopra`s films are known for.

Salman celebrates Shivaratri with family and villagers

Salman Khan believes in all religion and celebrates all festivals with the same devotion. The way he celebrates Eid, the same way he celebrates Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, Nabarathri and Maha Shivarathri. Straight from Cuba where he is shooting for Kabir Khan’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, he headed to Kajrat, his farmhouse where his father Salim Khan has made all the preparation for the Ganesh puja. The actor on reaching Kajrat celebrated the festival with his family and the 125 villagers staying near his farm house.
His father Salim Khan reached the farmhouse on Saturday and made all the necessary preparations for the rituals. The three Khan brothers-Salman Khan, Sohail Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Malaika were all present. His two sisters Alvira and Arpita all arrived for the puja. A purohit has been called to perform the puja.
"The farmhouse has a Shiva shrine. Salim and Salman have renovated it. They have also appointed a pujari who does a small ritual every morning and also maintains the temple," a friend has been quoted.

Salman kept fast for the entire day. "The celebration will also include over 125 villagers from the neighbouring area. The Khan family reportedly takes Shiv Ratri as seriously as they do Iftaar and on both occasions, food is distributed among the poor and sent to orphanages, old-age homes, besides friends and relatives," informs a source.

Karan Johar gifts Katrina Kaif a Jaguar

Katrina Kaif’s career is at an all-time high.
Great films and loyal friends have put her in the most enviable slot. She has become the industry’s hot favourite.
Probably that’s the reason why producer-cum-friend Karan Johar decided to surprise her with a gift — a swanky Jaguar. Earlier reports suggested that KJo wanted to buy her a Ferrari since he was really touched by the fact that she did the item song Chikni Chameli in his film Agneepath for free.
Katrina’s immense hard work and dedication showed in Agneepath’s item number also floored Karan.
“She rehearsed for hours and days to get those perfect moves,” says our source. And good friend KJo did acknowledge the effort put in by Kaif. “He has been planning to gift her a token of love and appreciation,” says our source.
The Dharma family might be tight-lipped about the Jaguar being gifted to Katrina, but the actress was heard gushing about it recently. Both Kaif and Johar remained unavailable for comments.
