Bipasha's Dubbing Woes!

Mumbai, Jul 3 (IANS): Actress Bipasha Basu is nervous about dubbing for her film "Raaz 3".

"Getting goose flesh as I head to dub for Raaz 3! It's going to be crazy recreating the madness of the scenes at the dub!" Bipasha tweeted.

Directed by Vikram Bhatt, "Raaz 3", a sequel to "Raaz" and "Raaz: The Mystery Continues", will see the 33-year-old opposite Emraan Hashmi.

Bipasha collaborated with Vishesh Films for 2003 film "Jism", and she worked with Vikram Bhatt in "Aetbaar" which released in 2004.

Meera claims Shoaib Akthar broke her engagement!

Pakistani superstar Meera feels that cricketer Shoaib Akhtar is behind breaking up her engagement with her fiancé Naveed Shahzad.

Meera who was engaged to Naveed was getting ready to marry him this year. But she says, Shoaib, who she had dated earlier for a year-and-a-half, instigated her to-be in-laws.

Resultantly, “they suddenly began making fake allegations about me. Naveed’s father Raja Pervez Ashraf accused me of theft and also falsely claimed that I was married earlier and that a divorce was pending. They did this drama for cheap media hype. All this hurt me a lot and I felt terribly humiliated,” says the actress who has now called off her marriage plans.

On asked why she parted with Shoaib earlier, Meera said that she caught him cheating on her. “I warned him, but he just wouldn’t understand the concept of a one-woman-man. I wanted to marry him, but he wasn’t serious about our relationship, so I had to leave him.”

Meanwhile, Dale Bhagwagar, Meera’s publicist in Mumbai, confirmed that the actress has plans of visiting India to discuss a couple of Bollywood offers she’s received.

70-year-old run over by Arbaaz Khan's car

Mumbai, July 2 (IANS) A 70-year-old woman was killed when she was knocked down by a Land Cruiser owned Bollywood filmmaker Arbaaz Khan, police here said Monday. The car was being driven by his brother Sohail Khan's driver.

The incident occurred around 11 p.m. Sunday near St. Andrew's Church when the vehicle was headed towards the home of the Khans at Bandstand.

The car was being driven by Dhananjay Pimpale, the driver, who has been arrested on charges of rash and negligent driving and culpable homicide not amounting to murder. He will be presented before a local court later Monday.

Pimpale was subjected to a medical test shortly after the incident and was not under intoxication, preliminary information indicated.

The woman has been identified as Chandra Bala, police said. She was rushed to the Bhabha hospital by a police constable and some autorickshaw drivers in the vicinity but succumbed to her injuries.

At the time of the incident, no members of the Khan family were present in the vehicle, police said. The high-profile Khan family is headed by scriptwriter Salim. Arbaaz, who produced the hit "Dabangg", has two brothers - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and filmmaker Sohail Khan.

Women not playing diverse roles on TV: Shweta Tiwari

New Delhi, Jul 2 (IANS): She enjoyed being the favourite next-door-girl in "Kasautii Zindagii Kay", the first female winner of reality show"Bigg Boss" and now a strict mom in "Parvarrish - Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi". But Shweta Tiwari feels women do not get to play diverse roles in TV shows.

"What I see is that women are not portraying too many characters or shades on screen. They are playing sweet, simple and nice roles. That is the only thing they do until they play a negative role," Shweta told IANS.

"If you see 'Balika Vadhu' she is the same. 'Byaah Hamari Bahoo Ka' is also the same. If you see any other show, all the leads look identically the same. No one is doing anything different," she said.

However, Shweta feels that her character of Sweety in "Parvarrish......" is true to real life and has all the shades of life.

"Sweety is at times mean and selfish but at times she has her own rules. She will not do wrong to you but will also not let anyone do wrong to her. Such characters are real characters, which are not shown on television any more. It is there in Bollywood, but no one likes them in this industry (television). I think this change should be there."

The 31-year-old was also part of the reality show "Bigg Boss 4" and when asked if there is an overdose of reality, Shweta feels otherwise.

"I think there was an overdose of reality shows, but now it is less. Now there are just a few selected ones left which have established themselves; and if people need fiction then they also need reality. I guess there is 'Big Boss', 'Dance India Dance' and shows like 'Indian Idol'. The rest of them have fizzled out. Earlier, there used to be so many, like 'Kitchen King' and 'Chote Miya'."

"Parvarrish - Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi" has been dealing with parenting and the educational system. Shweta says parents have become more flexible now as compared to earlier.

"What I feel is that people have become more cool now. In our times, we were told to learn and mug up. We were told to become doctors and engineers. However, that is not the case now. People want to go for international learning. They know that their children have to do something. People don't look at marks but at how much children know," said Shweta, who has a daughter, Palak.

The actress, who is seeking divorce from her husband Raja Chaudhary.

Lyrics & English Translation of 'Mitti bole maati bole(Satyamev Jayate)'

Haule Haule dheeme dheeme ..
Mitti bole, maati bole..

Slowly slowly..
Soil speaks, soil speaks..

Geet boney the tumhe..
Bo diye kyun laal sholay?
Haule-Haule dheeme dheeme..
Mitti bole, maati bole..

You were to sow songs..
Why did you sow red fire balls?

Slowly slowly..
Soil speaks, soil speaks..

Ghar ke aangan mein kahaan se, ye lapat si aa gayi?
Khidkiyon ki thi woh raunak, Dhoop ab kahaan gayi?

From where, in the yard, did this flame come?
It was the beauty of windows, Where did the sunshine go?

Kyon hawa hai roothi roothi?..
Shaakh gumsum kyun na dole..

Haule Haule dheeme dheeme..
Mitti bole, maati bole..

Why is the air angry?
Why are the branches quiet, not moving?
Slowly slowly..
Soil speaks, soil speaks..

Garam hai maatha saagar ka..
Tabiyat dheeli dheeli..
Dekho chhalakti aasmaan ki aankh neeli neeli..
Kisne paani ko jalaya?
Kisne paani ko jalaya?
Kaun vish jheelon mein ghole?

Haule Haule dheeme dheeme..
Mitti bole, mati bole..

The forehead of sea is hot..
Its health is down..
See, the blue eye of the sky is spilling..
Who burnt the water?
Who burnt the water?
Who is poisoning the lakes?

Slowly slowly..
Soil speaks, soil speaks..

Geet boney the tumhe..

Lyrics & English Translation of 'Aye zindagi tu hi bata(Satyamev Jayate)'

Aye zindagi tu hi bata..Khoya hai jo paaun kahan..
Har bhool ko maafi mile..Roothe palon ko main laaun mana..

O life, tell me,What I have lost,
Where do I get it back..
Every mistake gets pardoned, And I can get the angry moments cajoled back..

Na jaane kitni hansti aankhon ke..
Saare sapne chheen liye maine, Saaye hain chheene kitne saron se..
Aur kitne ghar phoonk diye maine..
Aa jaane kitne rishton ki dor main kaat ke aaya hoon..
Itni baatein bhoolun main kaise..
Kaise main khud ko apnaun..

I took all the dreams away from so many smiling eyes..
I've snatched shadows from so many heads, and burnt so many houses..
I've cut the ropes of so many relations..
How do I forget so many things,
How can I own myself.. (as in, I feel disowned by myself, how to come to terms with myself)

Aye zindagi tu hi bata khoya hai jo paaun kahan..
Har bhool ko maafi mile, roothe palon ko main laaun mana..

Aankhen bhi khuli, maalum tha sab,
Sab kuch hote dekh raha tha main..
Phir bhi na kuch bhi roka maine..
Jaane kis leher baha tha maine..

Kaash ye sab ik khwaab hi ho, aankh khule to sab theek mile..
Bojh ye ban ke jaaye utar, dil ye mera phir se khile..

Eyes were open, I knew everything, I was watching everything happen,
Still I didn't stop anything,I don't know in what wave I was..

May this all be a dream only, When eyes are open, this all be a dream..
This all comes down like a weight, and my heart be happy again..

Aye zindagi tu hi bata khoya hai jo paaun kahan..
Har bhool ko maafi mile, roothe palon ko main laaun mana..

Desi girl Deana Uppal compared to Shilpa Shetty with Big Brother!

Asians as well as Britons are expecting a lot out of Deana Uppal; the new desi in UK’s reality show Big Brother since Indian actress Shilpa Shetty.

But Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar, who happens to be Shilpa’s ex-publicist, feels Deana and Shilpa are two different personalities which many are trying to mix.

According to the public relations expert, Deana has hit some right and similar chords on the show. He points out that Conor McIntyre, Deana’s co-participant on Big Brother, ranted to his fellow housemates about Deana after she failed to finish eating her chosen dish in the Confusing Cusine task.

“If you remember, Jade Goody’s argument with Shilpa too, began over food, when Jade refused to eat the chicken Shilpa had made,” Dale reminds. True! Both Conor and Jade's arguments also resulted in a huge number of complaints to the British Office of Communications, commonly known as Ofcom.

By comparing Deana with Shilpa, the publicity expert feels, people are missing the bigger picture. “Shilpa was an epitome of goodness and a great forgiver. At the same time, in Big Brother she was the righteous fighter and a survivor beyond comparison,” he remarks.

The 23-year-old Deana, who lives in Mumbai now, is basically a model from Birmingham, and also the reigning Miss India UK.

Considering the volatile situation most Housemates face in Big Brother, no doubt, it will be an extremely uphill task for her to match that charisma and what Dale terms as “the Shilpa-effect”. “Though anyone would be happy if she does,” he adds on a positive note.
