Sonali Raut unhappy about preceding Chitrangada Singh

Join us on Facebook 

The versatile hottie Sonali Raut (of The Xpose fame) got quite a surprise when she found out that she beat another beauty Chitrangada Singh in the recent Celebex poll, charting the up and coming celebrities of 2014.

The newbie debuted the polls at Number 35, just after hot and happening names like Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai, Sonakshi Sinha, Anushka Sharma, Vidya Balan, Sonam Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra.

But what bothered Sonali is that she beat Chitrangada, who came at Number 44. “I really like Chitrandaga and I also know that a lot of men swoon over her. I wish I was placed after her in the poll,” she remarked.

Now now! That’s a first for a gal in any cat race. But Sonali’s goodwill doesn’t there! She has a word of praise for some other more contemporary names like Shraddha Kapoor, Kajal Aggarwal, Nargis Fakhri, Ileana Dcruz, Jacqueline Fernandez, Tamanna Bhatia, Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon who preceded her in the poll.

“They are all making an impacting presence with some spectacular movies. I felt privileged to be placed amongst them too,” quipped Sonali. Guess many would want to learn humbleness from this gorgeous new-age girl.

Barjatya was looking for an actress with a traditional Indian face. He almost finalized Deepika Padokone. But later shortlisted Sonam, because according to him, Kapoor had more desi persona and typical Indian features than Padukone. 

Kareena Kapoor Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ilena D'Cruz, Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra and Nargis Fakhri were also approached to play the lead role opposite Salman.

Barjatya and Salman did ‘Maine Pyar Kiya', 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun' and 'Hum Saath Saath Hain’ together, are reuniting after 14 years.

Bhaag Johnny girl Mandana Karimi wants to click herself underwater!

Join us on Facebook 

Be it Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, Shraddha Kapoor or Parineeti Chopra, the new kids on the block are indeed proving themselves to be a fun-loving and funky yet intelligent lot.

Joining the bandwagon this week is Mandana Karimi, the dazzling new face in Vikram Bhatt’s forthcoming film Bhaag Johnny.

Mandana, who will feature as a lead alongside Kunal Khemu and Zoa Morani in the movie, is the new cover girl for Stuff magazine’s latest issue, where she has revealed some interesting things.

It turns out that one of the most expensive gadgets the girl owns is a water-proof camera. “I’m yet to test it underwater! Maybe, after I buy myself an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini,” she grins. Ooh la la! We’ll sure wait for that one!

Ask her about the simplest gadget she loves and she says, “I’d give that position to my trendy-looking mini hair dryer. I’m a girl who likes to travel light and this one fits neatly into my little traveling bag.”

More on the techno side, Mandana reveals she has a fascination for a big futuristic television set for her living room. “It should be a Full HD web-connected TV, preferably with stereoscopic 3D,” she quips, saying she’s already saving up for something like that. Atta girl!

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.

Sonam Kapoor in Rhea 's second production venture..

Rhea Kapoor, sister of the flashy and ever smiling actor Sonam Kapoor officially produced a women oriented film Ayesha. Sonam Kapoor played the lead role, the film proved to be a disaster for the actor. According to the latest buzz Rhea is all set with her second production venture, but this time after taking approval from Anil Kapoor.

Caring father, who is now an international star recommended the script and is taking a very active interest in the pre-production of upcoming home production film. Rhea is planning to start the shoot by mid next year. As expected Sonam will play the lead in the film. 

This time I hope Kapoor’s will concentrate on the script and the content of the film than the look and feel, like they did in Ayesha.
