Preity advices against Bollywood dreams

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has asked young Indians who dream of making it big in the movies to complete their education first.

Zinta said that young people should have a back-up plan in case their plans of a movie career don’t work out. “I never thought I would become such a big star,” she revealed.

A postgraduate in criminal psychology, Zinta, 32, never planned to be an actress. She struck fame when she was selected for a soap advertisement and later spotted by a well-known Bollywood filmmaker. “Don’t give up your education to become an actress,” is her advice to youth hoping to be movie stars. “If you are destined to become an actress you will. But you will always have a plan B to fall back on.” Zinta, has starred in several blockbusters in the past nine years since her Bollywood debut.

All’s not well between good looking couple Ness-Preity

The jodi of Bombay dying head Ness Wadia and the cute bollywood actress Preity Zinta is very popular in the public. They were seen together at IPL bidding, seen hand in hand with each other, hugging each other, feding each other whenever Ness’s team perform. But the coming news says that now they both discard each other.

The story behind this is that Preity was traveling in the car with Ness but in the mid-way, she came out from the car and walked alone on the road of Chandigarh. To look her alone on the the road, a person connected with cricket league gave her lift. This Drama made it clear that they are not happy with each other.

Ness mother’s Maureen wadia also does not consider Ness and Preity as a good and perfect match. She too, is not ready to accept Preity as her daughter-in-law. On the other hand, Preity is emotionally attached with the member of Mohali team. This may also be reason for having such difference.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham



Although it is my least favorite Karan Johar film, I can't hate Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham because it gave us the bangle scene and "Suraj Hua Madam."



I could really write this whole post on how much I love that song. Yes, it's a bit over the top (Shahrukh and Kajol overdo some of their caresses and fake necking simulations), but it's also very hot. There's just something about it...The scorching Egyptian sun, the pulsating beat of the music, Kajol's smoldering eyeliner...



But I digress. K3G is not at the top of my list because it is way too long and the story isn't all that captivating. However, there are some memorable moments in the film worth mentioning--I'll get to that later.

The movie is pretty dragged out, particularly in the second half. Not a surprise, as Karan Johar is known for this. But while it irritated me in some of his other films such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kal Ho Naa Ho, I forgave him because I loved those movies so much. In Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, I was a lot less understanding.




What's strange about this film is that I can't figure out why it didn't grab me; I kept feeling like I should have loved it. Because while I think it ran an hour and half too long, there were some moments throughout that I would consider classic in my journey through Bollywood:

1)An all star cast, with Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan as Mommy and Daddy and Hrithik and Shahrukh as brothers. What could top that happy family? Try Kajol and Kareena as love interests for the boys, and even Rani in a cameo. What's next, Aishwayra as the visiting cousin? Anyways, everyone worked well together and seemed to have fun.

2)The music! "You Are My Soniya" was sweet and the title song was catchy. "Bole Chudiyan" left me starstruck when the three leading men were onscreen together. I wish I could have been an extra in this song! Also, I love "Suraj Hua Madam." Did I mention that?

3)Shahrukh and Kajol's courtship. As far I'm concerned, after they got together, the film could have ended. While Kajol annoyed me at times in this role (a first for me because I love me some Kajol), I really liked the way Shahrukh pursued her. It was also cool when her braid kept getting stuck on his wrist and clothing. My only complaint is the scene where Rahul(Shahrukh) touches Anjali(Kajol)'s forehead as a symbol of their forthcoming marriage. This coupled with flashes of the actual wedding was effective and unique, but it would have been kind of cool to see Shahrukh and Kajol get married onscreen since they're such a popular couple (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai doesn't count because it was so impromptu--Shahrukh wasn't even dressed properly for it!).



4)Shahrukh's look. I like him best in his "mid-career" days, where he doesn't have the mullet from his earlier films and isn't quite as thin as he is now. This is my favorite way to watch King Khan...charming, fresh faced, and lip syncing to Udit Narayan.

5)The scene when Shahrukh's Rahul and Hrithik's Rohan lay eyes on one another for the first time in ten years. Although Rahul doesn't know it's his brother, he senses something familiar, and Rohan is moved to tears. It gave me chills.

6)The Infamous Bangle Scene.

7)**Possible Spoiler**The end credits, where all is well and we see the family together at Rohan and Pooja's wedding. Wish I could have seen this on full screen instead of a small box. And wish it would have lasted a teensy bit longer.

I'm not going to go on a tangent about Kareena looking like Paris Hilton because I already apologized to her in my Jab We Met post.



Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham never really won my heart, but I guess it was worthwhile for these special moments. I'm glad I saw it, but it doesn't come close to Johar's classic Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Had I been a Bollywood watcher when these two movies came out, I would have been greatly disappointed walking out of the theater after seeing K3G. However, I'll still watch this again...any excuse to spend time with Amitabh, Shahrukh, and friends!

Preity Zinta Interacting With Fans

Exhausted Preity Zinta flies to Cannes


In between cheering for her Indian Premier League (IPL) team and comforting the players, Bollywood star Preity Zinta has taken a few days off to attend the Cannes Film Festival as brand ambassador of Chopard, the maker of luxury watches and jewellery.

"Can't help it," the co-owner of the Mohali team said. "For two years now I've been the brand ambassador for Chopard and I've to be at Cannes every year, come what may."

The actress, who featured in hits like Soldier, Kal Ho Naa Ho and Dil Chahta Hai, has several events lined up in Cannes, but no movies.

"There are no movies this year. I'd have liked to bring my film Har Pal, but it isn't ready. If Rituparno Ghosh's Last Lear is shown, I'll go for it. But Chopard will keep me busy for the next three days.

“I've a red carpet event. Then a dinner organised by Chopard followed by a picnic in the afternoon. I return on May 17 and head immediately for my IPL commitments."

Understandably, she's exhausted. "But I'm also exhilarated. The IPL has been a whole new learning experience for me," said Preity, who is accompanied to Cannes by her cousin Inder.

What about those who feel that IPL is confusing?

"Not at all! It's such an eye-opener. Players of different age groups and of different nationalities are interacting on one platform. The younger lot is learning from senior international names. Where would they get a chance to do that?"

All for my boys!



















Call it sheer craving for entertainment or love for the game, but most Pakistanis sure can’t sleep without their daily dose of IPL on TV.

Like Indians, Pakistanis are hooked to the IPL phenomenon — though they are not new to the T-20 concept. They have their domestic tournaments, but the size and star value of the IPL are simply irresistible. It doesn’t matter where they are in the evening — their drawing rooms or in a hotel lobby — the matches are a must-watch.

Watching SRK doing a jig in the stands or Preity Zinta cheering her team is an obvious bonus, but the cricket is what actually interests her, insists Amra, a student of the prestigious National College of Art.

It’s not just about watching Shoaib Akhtar play for Kolkata or Shoaib Malik for Delhi. Many in this country, in fact, are not impressed with the performance of the Pakistani players, an exception being the Rawalpindi Express. “All my friends have just gone crazy. They are watching every minute of the games,” says Rahat, a student of the Lahore University of Management Sciences.

Geo Super, which is airing the matches live, has seen a surge in popularity. Some Lahoris have a complaint though. “Lahore should be included as an IPL venue next season,” suggests Babar, a business executive. Who knows, the IPL managers might just oblige.

Black



Despite all the good things I'd heard, I wasn't too excited to watch Black. It sounded too much like The Miracle Worker, and while I think the true story of Helen Keller and her teacher Annie Sullivan is a remarkable one, I didn't feel the need to sit down and watch a Bollywood movie so strikingly similar to something I'd read countless books and written endless papers on in high school.

But, luckily, I found the DVD online at a giveaway price, and gave Black a chance.

Believe it or not, this is now one of my favorite movies. It was so beautiful, touching, and uplifting that I forgot about the similarities to Helen and Annie. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and I was so invested in the characters and story that I felt like I was in the movie (Sanjay Leela Bhansali's fancy sets and fake snow didn't hurt, either). I watched as if I had never heard of anything like this before, as if Michelle was as real as Helen Keller had been, and her teacher a true symbol of compassion, patience, and love.

And if I thought Rani Mukerjee was a talented actress before, I hadn't seen half of what she is capable of until I saw Black. She used such a wide range of expressions (something I don't usually see her do), exercised her trademark charm in a whole new way, and turned out a truly amazing performance as Michelle. As if I needed one more reason to love Ms. Mukerjee...



Amitabh also did a fine job as Michelle's teacher Debraj. Once again, I forgot that this was "Big B." I haven't seen many of his films, but have noticed in several a distinct authoritative tone to his voice. This seemed to be missing in Black, which was nice because it made Debraj more "ordinary." I'm not criticizing Amitabh's other work (I enjoy him very much), but it takes a true actor to get you to believe in him as his character rather than as the superstar he really is (for example, it's hard for me to watch Shahrukh Khan in a film and see him as his character rather than Shahrukh Khan). But Big B. achieved this...he was outstanding.

Last but not least, let's not forget Ayesha Kapur as little Michelle! How many actors, let alone child actors, can pull a role like this off? I was in awe of her in every scene.

The friendship between the two leads, Michelle's persistence through school (with Debraj never giving up on her), and the family's reactions to the events in the film made Black an extraordinary and inspiring film. I'd recommend it to anyone, including those who have never seen a Bollywood movie. I liked Devdas, sort of liked Saawariya, but never really had my moment where I connected with Sanjay Leela Bhansali...Until now.

Neha, Katrina, Preity and Sikandar get hot on 'Dhokha'

The stars of 'Woodstock Villa', Sikandar Kher, Neha Uberoi, Shibani Kashyap, Aryans and Anchal, rocked the stadium at Bangalore for the T20 IPL Match between Royal Challengers & Kings 11 Punjab on Monday.

Neha Uberoi kick started with the world class cheerleaders of Royal Challengers on the 'Dhoka' song. The crowds lapped up the performance and joined with the chorus line 'Dhokha'. It was an interesting performance to see the cheerleaders match step with Neha Uberoi live on a Bollywood number 'Dhokha' for the first time.

Sikandar Kher, then made a starry entry, which had the girls raving about the handsome hunk, who will be making a spectacular debut with this film.

The singers of Woodstock Villa, Aryans, Shibani Kashyap, and Anchal took over as the stadium rocked with their chartbusting numbers.

The visit of the celebrities to the Bangalore IPL was to promote the film 'Woodstock Villa', as a synergy with cricket and entertainment which was a resounding success.

Sikandar Kher and Neha Uberoi then joined Katrina Kaif and Preity Zinta, as they cheered their respective teams.

Thank your stars, it’s a ball


What’s the IPL funda? “Bollywood rules and business follows,” says brand domain expert Harish Bijoor.

And now the ruling faces of Bollywood are ruling the pitch as well. From SRK to Katrina, to Akshay Kumar and southern actor Vijay, all the biggies of tinselville are in the VIP boxes cheering for their fave teams. BT checks out which star ambassadors score the most. adds.

Kolkata Knight Riders: Shah Rukh Khan
According to Harish Bijoor, King Khan emerges at the top of the heap. “SRK is the best bet in the business and his endorsement value across all brands is very solid. So for the Kolkata Knight Riders and IPL itself, he’s the ultimate brand ambassador,” he says.

“I went for the opening match between the Royal Challengers and the Kolkata Knight Riders and realised that SRK was a bigger draw than the IPL. Everyone was more interested in seeing him than following the action on the pitch,” says Radio Mirchi RJ and actor Avinash Bhardwaj. “And even though Shah Rukh isn’t present at every match, he steals the show when he is,” he adds.

Kings XI Punjab: Preity Zinta

Preity Zinta’s been getting a lot of pleasant surprises during the matches where her IPL team from Mohali has played.

At one such match, a few of her fans in the crowd held up a poster of hers, and when, later, Preity saw the photo, she reacted with typical effervescence.

“Oh my!” she exclaimed in surprise. “This has to be the oldest picture of me. I don’t even remember when it was clicked!”

When Brett sang for Preity


Actor Preity Zinta, say sources, was very impressed by the performances of her Australian cricketers in the ongoing IPL. Hence, she not only threw a farewell party for them, before they bid adieu to the league for their national duty, but also danced the night away with her Mohali team.

Preity’s team (bought for $76 million for a 10-year term), flaunts the likes of Brett Lee, Simon Katich, James Hopes. Captained by Yuvraj Singh, it is currently fourth in the league and has garnered eight points after playing six matches. Simon played two matches and made 95 runs; Lee played four matches, took four wickets and made 17 runs. Hopes played three matches, made 105 runs and took two wickets.

“Preity is very pleased with the Australians as they have contributed to the fortunes of her team. She wanted to give something back to them. So, she threw a party after Mohali won against the Delhi side. Preity too danced the night away with them. The party went on till four in the morning. Preity had also invited the Delhi team to join in. Some Delhi players were present,” reveals the source.

He adds, “Brett also sang during the party. It doesn’t matter if Mohali wins or loses, parties happen every night. Cricket is a sportsman’s game after all. You win some and you lose some and Preity believes in this motto too.”

Kolkata still stands by Knight Riders

Kolkata: After four consecutive defeats, the "Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo" motto may be losing tempo, but fans of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are unperturbed with some even looking to the gods above.

"We will perform a yagna (fire ritual) to ward off ill-omens and pray for the victory of KKR in every match," said 27-year Kamal Saraf.

"The KKR are just undergoing a bad patch. But Shah Rukh will never let his team lose at the IPL (Indian Premier League)," added Shahjahan Ali, a 22-year old KKR supporter.

Akhtar's ban suspended, to play in IPL

The hype surrounding the team, owned by film star Shah Rukh Khan, began to fade after their second victory. Now, with their fourth defeat against the Preity Zinta owned Kings XI Punjab at Mohali Saturday, KKR have reached the bottom of the IPL table.

Cricket fans here are also supportive of KKR captain Sourav Ganguly despite his spat with Shane Warne.

Special: Indian Premier League | IPL 2008 Match Schedule

Avantika Pande, a Ganguly fan, said: "KKR's defeats are not solely Dada's (Sourav Ganguly) responsibility. It was unfortunate that the team has to let go big guns like Ricky Ponting and Brendon McCullum at this crucial point. But we are relieved that Shoaib Akhtar has been permitted to play for the KKR."

"Dada is a revolutionary figure in Indian cricket. We must notice the difference between the controversies that Dada and Warne get involved in. Dada knows some situations and players are to be dealt in a particular way. But even then he never goes beyond the limits of professionalism," said Arjan Pal, member of Saurav Ganguly fan club.

Some feel that team-owner and crowd-puller Shah Rukhs's absence at the matches played at Chennai, Jaipur and Mohali have affected the team.

"Surely his absence affected the team to some extent. But Shah Rukh has promised to be present in all the KKR matches at Eden Gardens and that's more than we want. As for the team, it is not playing for Shah Rukh but to win the IPL," said Shraddha, a 30-year software engineer.

Psychiatrist Shraboni Mukherjee said: "It is Shah Rukh's responsibility to be with the KKR. His presence does adversely affect the team in a big way. Just imagine how lost the KKR must have felt when Preity Zinta was cheering up her boys Saturday."

Ticket sales for the May 8 KKR versus Bangalore Royal Challengers match at the Eden Gardens here were to start Sunday at the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) ticket-counters.

But according to sources at CAB, the authorities got such limited tickets that they returned the tickets to Shah Rukh's company Red Chillies Entertainment.

Preity’s winning spree!

preity_yuvi
Preity Zinta, the only woman and the youngest owner of an IPL team is on cloud nine these days as her team has finally clicked and have begun winning matches! After cheering her team which lead to their first two consecutive wins(after consecutive losses), on her short visit to Mumbai before leaving for Hyderabad to witness her team’s yet another performance, Preity shared with us her team’s winning mantra!

“I am in Mumbai for a short while. I’ll be leaving for Hyderabad soon as my King’s XI Punjab will play their fifth match day after”, said Preity hurriedly.

Inspite of the Sreesanth-Bhajji fiasco post the match where they defeated the Mumbai Indians, Preity’s team managed to keep their cool and defeat Sehwag’s Delhi Daredevils right after! So what made the King’s XI win, we asked.

“A game is a game. You never know what can happen next! As far as my team is concerned, we knew we had the potential but you just need to click. My team has always played with great passion and they got their due”, said Zinta.

So does she consider herself as the ‘lucky charm’ of her team as quoted by many papers? “My involvement with the team is total. I am extremely passionate about our team and I do believe that I am the team's good luck factor, so I want to be there for everything”, said Zinta as a concluding note!

More power to this dimpled ambitious woman!

Sunil Sethi: Skin & Navel-Gazing, Indian Style


Showing a bit of skin is in. No it's not — not if you're blonde and white and come from down Texas way. Political protests in Maharashtra and West Bengal that have forced American cheerleaders at IPL matches to cover up and behave are, once again, a fine exhibition of the time-dishonoured Indian traditions of hypocrisy, xenophobia and misplaced prudery. It's cultural assault by the West when foreign women show cleavage, wiggle waists and indulge in high-kicking steps in stadiums — but it's lip-smackingly delicious when the country's cinemas and TV screens spill over with Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Preity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty, Mallika Shehrawat and Rakhi Sawant do the same. Compared to what Bollywood's babes get up to in public, American cheerleaders are innocents abroad. Surely more Indians are intimate with Bipasha's state of undress in Jism, Kareena's extensive, wafer-thin waistline in Tashan and Preity's micro-minis in Karan Johar movies than they are with Exhibits A, B and C of a few visiting cheerleaders?

Double standard or double vision? A case of both. Notions of sexual suggestiveness vary from place for place — Japanese geisha blacken their front teeth as provocation to clients — and distinctions between the pure and impure are variable. Prurience, like innocence, lies in the eyes of the beholder.

In America, skimpily-attired cheerleaders are as much a tradition as items girls and extras in Hindi film dance numbers. Cheerleaders are an organised group, their vocation being both specialised and hazardous. There are nearly 4 million cheerleaders practising their art — a combination of calisthenics and sexy gyrations — on college campuses and playing fields. In the US there are annual cheerleader awards, a wide-selling cheerleader magazine and a cheerleading foundation. About 25,000 cheerleaders are injured every year and require medical attention.

By contrast, Bollywood's dancers and Mumbai's dance bar girls, for all the skin they show and the dangerous lives they lead in the twilight zone, are unprotected and beleagured — exploited by clients, employers and the police, and harassed by ultra-conservative politicians bent on enforcing their puritanical moral code. For a harrowing account of Mumbai's demi mondaine there is the detailed real-life of Monalisa, a bar girl in Suketu Mehta's award-winning nonfiction narrative Maximum City. Given half a chance any of these Indian girls would gladly swap their lives with American cheerleaders — a Green Card would guarantee a higher safety standard than a G-string.

"Just a few cheering girls on the sidelines and people are upset … Entertainment is a part and parcel of sports worldwide," IPL boss Lalit Modi was quoted as saying the other day. Good point. When it comes to sex, Indians have a long and richly diversified repertoire of where to seek — and how to find — such entertainment. Current ideas of political correctness may prevent a truthful admission but some of the greatest stars of the Indian screen and of musical gharanas are descended from a lineage of courtesans, kothewalis and devadasis. Indian cinema owes its oldest debt to these strong-willed and talented women who made the transfer to screen in the early chapters of its history. An elementary reading of the Bollywood genre of storytelling is a confirmation of its voyeuristic, erotically charged content in music and dance. What else have the long lineup of vamps, mujra queens, nautch girls and cabaret artistes (such as Helen) been purveying all these years?

Nor should the transition from the wet sari look to Western-style sartorial revelations be that surprising. The international fashion columnist Suzy Menkes was in India recently attending one of the fashion weeks. Asked about the most noticeable change in India she had observed in 17 years of visiting the country, she said: "The declining use of the sari. To me it is one of the most glamorous and sexy garments ever created. But I am sad, though not surprised, to see fewer women wear it."

Fashions change, in sex and style, as in any department of life. But the Indian habit of navel-gazing does not.

It will be SRK vs Preity at Mohali


MUMBAI: Now that the IPL has reached a stage beyond which teams can plead they are finding their feet, each side involved has to become serious about their cricket to ensure a place in the semifinals.

Looking forward to the rest of the tournament will, after the last few results, be a very different experience for both teams meeting at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali today.

Kolkata started their IPL campaign off in the most empathic style, Brendon McCullum ensuring a crunching win against Bangalore Royal Challengers in the inaugural game.

They followed that up with another victory against Hyderabad, and all of a sudden Sourav Ganguly’s team looked like the real deal, even if he and Ricky Ponting were unable to buy a run between them.

Since then, the cracks have widened. Kolkata have lost to Chennai, Rajasthan and even perennial losers Mumbai, and with McCullum and Ponting having bid farewell to the team, dark days are looming.

Punjab’s fortunes could not be more of a mirror image. The first two games were disappointing losses to Chennai and Rajasthan, but not that those two teams have shown just how strong they are, those results have been put in perspective.

What they have done even more to put the smile back on Preity Zinta’s face are consecutive wins against Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad. Kings XI will not escape the great Australian cull either however, as key fast bowler Brett Lee has also winged his way off to CA’s training camp.

In Dinda, Ishant Sharma, Agarkar and Kartik, Kolkata have a strong bowling attack that has fired all tournament.

The reason behind their woes has been the batting, and there is no ready replacement for the hope that McCullum used to provide. Laksmi Shukla has been a revelation, averaging 44 so far, but unless Ganguly and the high-priced David Hussey come good, Kolkata's troubles look set to continue.

Punjab can consider themselves favourites for the match; Pathan, Chawla, Sreesanth and VRV Singh have all bowled well, and the batting prowess of Sangakkara, Katich and Yuvraj has only been strengthened by Shaun Marsh's arrival.

Preity Zinta scores over King Khan


Life is unpredictable. Shahrukh Khan was on top of the world when the Indian Premier League took off. His team Kolkata Knight Riders won two consecutive matches, including the IPL inaugural match against Bangalore Royal Challengers. But the story has changed. Now, his counterpart Preity Zinta has scored over him.

King Khan brought in at least half a dozen Bollywood actors to cheer for his team when the IPL kicked off. He cheered his team to two consecutive wins but the downfall soon started. They lost all the three matches played later, including yesterday's match against Rajasthan Royals.

On the other hand, Preity's team Kings XI had a disastrous start, losing the first two matches. Everyone was feeling pity of this pretty girl, even more than her team. However, her team bounced back in style, winning all the three matches played later.
