Genelia D’Souza has been a victim of technology, apparently we hear that her cell-phone got locked recently and that left the cheery actress cut-off from the world and panic-stricken. Narrating the incident the horror of which could only be fathomed by cell phone users, the pretty lady tells us that she was besieged by major crises but now things are falling in place.
Genelia posted comment on a social networking site, “Phone got locked an all my data, contacts were deleted. It was quite a scary situation for today I can’t do without cell-phone but thankfully now situation under control.”
Well, Genelia you couldn’t do Chance Pe Dance, for you found your phone and missed an opportunity to buy a new piece. Wotsay?
Salman Khan says period dramas usually give the impression that people in past eras never used to laugh, but promises that his new movie "Veer" will have its light moments. "We haven`t followed the regular format. This has emotion, drama and comedy unlike other period films, which always casts an impression that no one used to laugh in those days," Salman told IANS in an interview. "The language has undergone a huge change. The dialogues are in contemporary language but would show that people of that time used to speak and behave like this," he added. "Veer", slated to release Jan 22, is a story of bravery, treachery and love. The story revolves around the 18th century Pindaris who preferred death to dishonour and fought to their last breath to save their land. Salman plays the lead role. Throwing light on how his co-star Zarine Khan joined the cast, Salman said: "The film is of a different genre, so we needed a young fresh look. More than that we needed somebody with a yesteryear look. How our grandmothers and great grandmothers used to look, we needed someone like them. "Just two weeks were left to start the film and we didn`t have anyone who would fit the role. We were searching left, right and centre and met her by coincidence on the set of Subhash Ghai`s `Yuvvraaj`." Salman denies any resemblance between Zarine and his girlfriend Katrina Kaif. "Except being fair and having a sharp nose, I don`t see any similarity between them. Give god that credit for not making two people identical," said Salman. The film`s story has been written by Salman himself and while scripting it he was scared whether his father Salim Khan, a noted writer, would approve. "I showed the story to my father and the biggest fear was what is he going to say. But he said it`s a good story." When asked why he chose to make a period film now, he said, "I had written the story 20 years ago but at that time it wasn`t possible to make the film. I thought now is the right time to make it, so I did." This is Salman`s second film as a scriptwriter. His first was the 1990 movie "Baghi" and there is a common thread running through both the scripts - the father-son relationship. " `Baghi` showed a good relationship between a father and son, `Veer` does that too. I believe that father and son should be the best of friends. Today, my father and me chat, drink and chill out together. "But if I cross my line, I run away. I stay outdoor for two months. That`s the chemistry they should share. The respect should also be there," said Salman who claims that he could be a good father. "I am not sure how good I would be as a husband, but I believe I would be a good father. One has to get married, I will also get married but haven`t decided when." The actor has been in the industry for more than two decades and has played a variety of roles, worked in various genres and sported different looks. Asked if there was anything particular he looked forward to as an actor, he said, "No yaar. I do whatever comes my way."
Fate couldn't be more unkind. The similarities between Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are too many to be ignored. To start with they share their initials; they have the same endorsement manager; they share a PR manager. As far as the physical attributes go, again, both are tall, fair and beautiful. So as things stand it is a photo-finish for Bollywood No.1 and No.2 heroine. Kareena is the ruling diva. Katrina is the darling of the masses. But 2009 saw Katz upsurge Bebo by giving two super hits — New York and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. And one average runner De Dana Dan. She also won every popularity poll — be it the sexiest Asian woman or the most desirable girl etc. Of course, the invincible Bebo bounced back. Kareena who lost ground with Kambakht Ishq, Kurbaan and Main Aur Mrs Khanna socked Katz a solid blow when she landed the biggest Bollywood hit of all time — 3 Idiots. She also features on all the award nomination lists. “As we see it today it is hard to choose between Kareena and Katrina,” says trade analyst Taran Adarsh. “They're both neck-to-neck. People here respect talent (Kareena Kapoor) but they also give a lot of importance to Friday numbers (Katrina Kaif). To put in a film fashion, yahan hit hai toh fit hai,” says the trade guru. Now the distance between the No.1 and 2 girls is becoming asphyxiating says a film producer. He adds, “I have signed Katrina for my film... but it could well have been Kareena. However since the hero is Ranbir, I was forced to take Katz. To me both are equal at this point.” Trade sources say Katz's advantage at this point is that she makes a super team with Ranbir Kapoor who is a hot favourite. However, what Kareena has is that she is the darling of the Khans. Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Aamir Khan have given her their unstinted support in 2010. She is likely to team up with the other hottie Imran Khan, too. If Katz has Imtiaz Ali on her side, Bebo has Karan Johar on hers. “Even the endorsements that these two actresses are doing are highly interchangeable. If one has the size zero (Bebo) advantage, the other one has the Barbie Doll (Katz) image in her favour,” says the producer. So give or take — whatever they may say — the distance between Katz and Kareena is too close for comfort.
