I told Ridhi that I have to go out and out to create the chemistry with Aamna: RaQesh Vashisth

Scrutiny in conversation with RaQesh Vashisth who is all set to make a comeback with Sony TV’s upcoming show ‘Hongey Judaa Na Hum’...


Tell us bit about your character..
I am playing a married man Rohan. He is a painter; I am also a painter in real life. I am very happy playing a painter because I think with colors, with canvas, with every stroke you can show a lot of emotions, you can set a graph of a scene.  I can show my anger by randomly painting something onscreen.

Go on..
Rohan is a very hyper guy, his heart and head decisions get jumbled up.  He loves Muskaan (Aamna Sharif) so they got married. But marriage is something which comes with its own baggage and packages; sometimes it’s so difficult to handle. It’s a story of a couple who are going through ups and downs. Destiny plays a big role in our life, that’s what we have shown in the story.  There is a situation when they have to go away from each other but only to come back.

There is a general perception in that Aamna Sharif has an attitude problem..
I heard stories about that she have a lot of attitude and she throws weight around. But when I actually met her, I didn’t feel that ways. I think that she is a nice person to work with. She is very convenient and very cooperative girl.

And what about your onscreen chemistry with her?
We gelled together very well during the pilot shoot. Everyone said our onscreen chemistry is amazing. We are actors; we want to perform our role so we want to get into the skin of the character and chemistry happens only when other person is reciprocative. For a good onscreen chemistry, an actor should not only say his/her lines but also he/she needs to concentrate on other person’s lines also. At the same time the person in front should react properly. Aamna is very supportive and a miraculous co-star to work with. For sure audience will see the mesmerizing chemistry between me and Aamna.

Is Ridhi (Dogra) comfortable if you romance with other actresses onscreen?
I already told her that I have to go out and out to create the chemistry, I hope you don’t mind. She was like, you are an actor and moreover you are my husband now, so I really can’t interfere. She is a practical woman and knows that tomorrow she may gets an offer for a love story then she has to do the same thing.

Are you romantic at heart?
Like a true Virgo, I am very romantic by heart, but I don’t live in la-la land. (laughs) I think you should ask this question to my wife.

Why you replaced 'K' with a 'Q' from your name?
There are so many Rakesh exists in this earth. It’s a very common name and I was surrounded with folks with the same name. From servant to an officer, every third or fourth person name is Rakesh. I decided to a ‘Q’ in my name because sometimes when you saving someone’s number in your mobile you do not write the full name, you simply save it by first name. So if you save my name as ‘Rakesh’, later you may wonder which ‘Rakesh’ is this.  So to make a difference I added a ‘Q’ in it.  I think ‘RaQesh’ look good.

Dolly Bindra raises her shoe targeting Veena Malik in Pakistan!


The terror lady of Bigg Boss, Dolly Bindra, has targeted Pakistani ‘nautanki’ Veena Malik, who has been on Indian shores filming two to three low-budget movies in Bollywood.

On her recent tip to Veena’s homeland Pakistan, Dolly not only raised her voice in her trademark style, but also her shoe, gesturing that she is ready to throw one at the Pakistani starlet Veena when she comes face-to-face with her again!

Speaking to the media in Lahore, Dolly accused Veena Malik of “immoral activities” and expressed her desire to slap the starlet with her shoes.

Dolly claimed that Veena was in India due to her immoral acts and not because she was receiving any monetary compensation, adding that the latter loved to involve herself in various scandals every now and then.


“She (Veena Malik) is a stain on Pakistan, a stain on India, and a stain on women,” said an enraged Bindra, who also claimed that Malik had wooed Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Asif and that when Asif got jailed, Malik usurped all his money.

For the record, Veena Malik gained popularity in India when she got invited on India’s biggest reality show Bigg Boss because of a controversy with one of Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar’s clients, actress Neetu Chandra. On the show, she attracted further notoriety when she cootchie-cooed with Ashmit Patel, another of the same publicist’s clients during Bigg Boss.

No CCTV footage in Saif Case!


Ever since news about his brawl with the South African NRI businessman Iqbal Sharma and his father-in-law Raman Patel broke out, Saif Ali Khan has been saying that CCTV footage of the scuffle at the five-star restaurant of the downtown hotel in Mumbai would prove his innocence.

Saif was dining at the restaurant with his girlfriend and co-star Kareena Kapoor, her sister Karisma, actress Amrita Arora and her husband Shakeel Ladakh along with producer Bilal Amrohi, when the incident happened.

However, the fact remains that there is no CCTV footage which has captured the brawl. Inspite of the terror attack that took place in the same hotel in 2008, apparently there are no video cameras installed in the particular restaurant in order to respect the privacy of guests.

Meanwhile, many in Bollywood have come in support of Saif on Twitter. Amrita Arora who was present at the location of the tiff, said, “It’s sad that celebs become victims of other people wanting their 15 minutes of fame. Just for the record, if the people concerned were assaulted so badly, how come they were fit enough to be on TV giving interviews all day?”

“There is something amiss in this incident and I’m sure the facts will come out soon. It’s very unlike Saif to hit an elderly man or provoke a fight,” quipped jewellery designer Farah Ali Khan. Filmmaker Kunal Kohli tweeted, “Saif explained the whole incident on TV just now. It’s unfair to tilt opinions against anyone just because he’s a star.”

Saif as well as the NRI South African businessman, both claim that the opposite party hit them first. Though Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar has never worked with Saif, he said, “Saif has the class of a gentleman. I’ve heard that the NRI guys used words like ‘whores’ and ‘prostitutes’ for his actress friends and provoked him to argue. Inspite of such filthy language, Saif is learnt to have only argued and not raised his hand, till the NRI’s father-in-law is said to have suddenly hit him on the neck. I’m told, that is when he reacted in self-defense.”

“Some guys refuse to play it ‘saif’! What to do? Agent Iqbal may help Agent Vinod break records, not noses,” joked quirky writer Shobhaa De about the South African NRI businessman Iqbal Sharma’s broken nose.

Shakti Kapoor has not been invited for Bigg Boss finale?


Much awaited grand finale of controversial show Bigg Boss will be shot in Karjat studio. As reported earlier Pooja Bedi has been asked to refrain from attending the finale of Bigg Boss, because of her Ranjish with co-host Salman Khan.

Now the latest buzz is that Shakti Kapoor has also not been invited for finale. Sallu instructed production house and Colors’ that he does not want Shakti Kapoor apart from Pooja Bedi and Hrithik. Salman is cheesed off by Shakti’s intimidating remarks after latter’s eviction.

Salman said, “Bigg Boss ko maanna padega! Shakti Kapoor jaise logon ko apne ghar bulaya, hum toh kabhi na bulayen!” To which Shakti replied, “If Salman invites him to his house, he won’t be going there,” which added more fuel in the raging verbal fight.

I guess it’s now Shakti Kapoor’s turn to pay a heavy price for bad-mouthing host Salman Khan.

Drunken Acts: New trend among B-Town Actress’s

Actors, Villains and Vamps drown their woes in alcohol, now its turn of Actress to do it..

Making a scene after getting drunk has been a frequent subject in many films over the last couple of years.  Dharmendra’s drunken act in Sholay is unforgettable, Amitabh Bachchan’s in Sharaabi and Amar Akbar Anthony is still remembered and Salman Khan’s in Saajan are legendary.

Aamir Khan left no stone unturned when he had to deliver a drunken scene under the influence of alcohol in ‘Rangeela’. He has never been in the habit of drinking,  but as he is perfectionist he actually consumed a liter of vodka before shooting for the song 'Tere Ishq Mein Nachenge' in 'Raja Hindustani'.

We cannot forget Shahrukh Khan brought realism in Devdas, he gulped down few drinks to make scene look as natural as possible. So as Rajesh Khanna’s act in ‘Amar Prem’, I still memorize 'Kuch To Log Kahenge’, his dialogue ‘Pushpa I hate tears' became his trademark after this film.

But have you ever seen Hema Malini or Rekha happily downing shots on screen? I guess its very rare, where as Helen or Bindu perhaps can because they portrayed as bad girl.

Bhartiya satisavitri naaris rarely got drunk in old films. Meena Kumari gracefully played a complete alcoholic woman in ‘Sahib Biwi Aur Gulam’, remember ‘Na jaao saiyaan chuda ke baiyaan..’?

Kajol effectively executed a drunken stupor in ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, ‘Zara Sa Jhoom Loo Main’ is a complete riot, where she begins to groove with her favorite co-star Shah Rukh Khan.

Now as baton was handed over from the actors to the actresses, we are seeing Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Mallika Sherawat and even Sonam Kapoor getting high on alcohol.

Mallika’s ‘Main talli ho gayi’ for ‘Ugly Aur Pagli’ is dedicated to her drunken avatar.

Deepika brought it back into craze when she happily swigged away with Saif Ali Khan in ‘Chor bazaari do nainon ki ‘in ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and then with Imran Khan in ‘Break Ke Baad’.

For ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ Priyanka Chopra drank everything from beer to neat vodka.

These baby steps into the hitherto unexplored realm of drunk actress got on to a more firm footing in 2011 – when Kareena Kapoor shook her booty to ‘Criminal’ after downing vodka shots,  for ‘Rockstar’ newbie Nargis Fakhri got happily drunk and did ‘Katiya Karoon’.

Katrina Kaif drinks straight from the bottle in ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan ‘and she has high on local liquor, she happily sings ‘Chikni Chameli…’ after chadake pauha.

Sonam drinks one tequila after another in ‘Players’.

Dirty gal Vidya Balan, got drank and smoked throughout the second half of ‘The Dirty Picture’.

I am not surprised with this sudden change in actress’s onscreen behavior. I guess it’s another instance of art reflecting real life or may be its just another way filmmakers have set up to bring in the female audiences to the theaters.
