Marriage Proposals for Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif is in Patiala for the shooting of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. The gorgeous lady is haunted by plenty of local Punjabi boys who have been lining up outside her hotel to catch a glimpse of her and well, ask for her hand in marriage! These hopeful young men have been infatuated with Kat’s character ‘Jasmeet’ from the movie Namastey London, who comes to Punjab to look for a husband.

As hilarious as it may sound, Kat’s hotel is surrounded by her male fans who have gone to the extent of asking the hotel staff if they can somehow getin touch with her parents to discuss a potential proposal! From what we hear, Katrina has been provided with top security and a special backdoor entrance where she sneaks out of the hotel.

Kat, however, laughed it off when a source approached her. She said her team of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is enough to keep her feeling safe and protected and it is all in good fun.

Obama praises Aamir’s work

An invite to the prime minister's private dinner for the US first couple was an honour enough, but when President Barack Obama praised his work, Aamir Khan was on cloud nine.

The star, who was invited to the dinner by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at his Race Course Road residence, was cornered by the waiting media as soon as the dinner got over around 10 pm last night.

"President Obama said he has heard a lot about my work and my films," said Aamir, who was clad in a cream coloured kurta pyjama.

"It (the dinner) was an opportunity to meet big personalities. I am a big fan of Manmohanji and I am happy that he called me up," he told the journalists.

Aamir, 45, also praised the dinner platter and revealed that First Lady Michelle Obama had told him that she has danced to his title number from Rang De Basanti.

Bollywood lyricist Javed Akhtar and his actress-activist wife Shabana Azmi were also invited to the grand feast.

Madhuri Dixit on Jhalak Dhikhhla Jaa

The gorgeous dance diva has decided to be a judge in the fourth season of the hit TV dance show, Jhalak Dhikhhla Jaa. This is the first time Madhuri will be seen in an entire season as a judge. It is not surprising that the show broadcasters chose her… we are all aware of her marvelous dance skills. She has the talent and of course, years of experience behind her. However, from what we hear, it wasn’t easy to convince the beautiful lady. Special screenings were held in LA and the original format – Dancing With The Stars¬ – was discussed. Top arrangements for her stay during show shootings in Mumbai have been promised and of course, an undisclosed amount has been agreed upon. The show is expected to start end of this year.

Salman is Ready for his next

Salman Khan has started shooting for the next schedule of Ready, which promises a dose of humour, drama and action along with great music.

After breaking all box office records with Dabangg, Salman is back at his comic best in Ready, which is being produced by T-Series.

"Ready is a highly anticipated movie since it marks the coming together of Salman and director Anees Bazmee after No Entry, which did extremely well. Salman has impeccable comic timing and there's no denying the track record of the man with the Midas touch - Bhushan Kumar. By the looks of it Ready has blockbuster written all over it," said a source in a press statement.

The film is currently being shot in Mumbai.

Ash setting trends in Malaysia

Traditional dresses worn by Aishwarya Rai in the films Raavan and Robot have been runaway hits in Malaysia.

The churidar and long-sleeved kameez Aishwarya wore as a dance teacher who gets kidnapped in the modern-day version of the Ramayana are a hit among women shoppers. Both Tamil (Raavanan) and Hindi versions (Raavan) along with Robot with megastar Rajnikant were huge hits among Malaysian Indians.

The traditional dresses - called masakali - have been in the market since early this year. But sales have peaked as Deepavali approaches.

Malaysia is home to 2.1 million ethnic Indians, a bulk of them Tamils who throng to Chennai-made films. But craze for Bollywood films is there among everybody. The Bachchans – Amitabh, Jaya, Abhishek and Aishwarya – and the Khans, SRK, Aamir, Salman and Saif Ali – are immensely popular there.

Thiyananthan Bathumalai, managing director of Harekrishna Silk, said most of the masakali dresses in the market were inspired by movie stars.

"For example, we now have 'Robot masakali', which was inspired from the movie Robot and 'Raavan masakali', which was inspired by Raavan, of course," he said.

Thiyananthan said many customers ask for masakali suits on entering his shop.

"People still ask for 'Anarkali suits' or 'Patiala suits' which were the craze some time ago. But this year, it looks like Aishwarya Rai is leading," he said.

Aishwarya's birthday plans revealed

Aishwarya Rai, who is busy promoting two of her upcoming films releasing next month, will squeeze in some time to be with her family on her birthday November 1.

After director Vipul Shah's retro comedy 'Action Replayy', Aishwarya has Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Guzaarish' releasing November 19.

Wishing Shahrukh Khan a very happy Birthday

Legends have it that the second day of the November month is an extremely and extraordinarily auspicious day.

History has it that, they either become topnotch Journalist, Magician, an Army Officer, a sparkling NRI, Advertising Executive, Police Officer... etc...!

Well, there's someone who smiled at the world on this very day and went onto 'adorn' all of the above mentioned professions... all in this very life! The world may know him by various names like 'King Of Romance', Romantic Hero', 'Legend Of Romance', 'Magician of Pyaar, Ishq Mohabbat', etc...

Aishwarya dances like a dream

Choreographer Longinus Fernandes made actors in 'Slumdog Millionaire' dance to his tunes and also directed a sequence in the Hollywood film 'Eat, Pray Love', but it is Aishwarya Rai who bowled him over with her "dream" like dance moves.

He has choreographed the song 'Udi udi' in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's forthcoming film 'Guzaarish'.

"It's very unusual. We have never seen Aishwarya doing these steps. It's very different from what she has done in the past and she has done a brilliant job with it. She is a wonderful dancer and dances like a dream," Longinus said.

"It did not take her long to learn the dance but it did take her some time to perfect it and to get into the mood of the character," he added.

The song is slowly becoming a rage especially because of Aishwarys's impressive and graceful moves in a black and red long dress.

"Sanjay wanted to make the song different and unique. I asked him if we can add a little bit of Spanish to it and give it a raw, earthy feel. He liked the idea, so we gave the whole dance a look which is very rustic to make it look as natural as possible," said the dance director.

Longinus, who won a Filmfare Award for best choreography for the song 'Pappu can't dance sala...' in 'Jaane tu Ya Jaane Na', had assisted Farah Khan for a couple of years.

It was on the sets of the dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa', where Longinus was a contestant and Bhansali a judge, that the two met.

"It was not very difficult for me to get this break because Sanjay Leela Bhansali has always been very fond of me. He was a judge with 'Jhalak...' and he told me that time that he will work with me for sure. And he kept his promise.

"I did a small piece in 'Saawariya' too, but that went unnoticed. But with this one Sanjay and I are so happy that people are actually liking the sequence," he said.

Also starring Hrithik Roshan as paraplegic patient, 'Guzaarish' releases Nov 19.

Shilpa rocks on the ramp

In the backdrop of a majestic white set, showstoppers Shilpa Shetty and Chitrangada Singh sashayed down the ramp as designer Tarun Tahiliani brought the curtains down on the latest edition of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week with a grand show.

Two larger than life trees were fabricated at the entry of the ramp and the show area was lit with orange, green, blue, red and yellow lights. The entire ramp was made of white jute while the ceilings were draped with white stripes.

Even though it was the grand finale, Tarun stuck to what he is best at - contemporary designs with western silhouettes.

"Tarun has been like family to me. He is absolutely adorable. The best thing I like about him is that he brings out a new avatar in me every time and I love to walk for him," said Shilpa who looked stunning in a white lehenga and a net blouse.

Chitrangada walked in a silk blush gauze saree encrusted with crystallised elements.

Tarun's collection titled 'New Democracy', aimed at providing a new direction to India's textiles, prints, fabrics, weaves and colours.

"As we get westernised, our Indianness is getting lost somewhere. My collection is an attempt to bring it back with the use of Indian handlooms and drapes," said Tarun.

Too less B’wood stars at Vivek’s reception

Vivek Oberoi and his new bride Priyanka Alva looked very much the happy couple at their grand wedding reception in Mumbai. The event, however, saw more heavyweights from politics than from Bollywood.

While the bride glowed in a green-blue lehnga choli, the groom sported a dark velvet sherwani at the reception last night. They were both dressed in Rohit Bal creations.

Priyanka being the daughter of late Karnataka leader Jeevaraj Alva, the event saw a slew of political faces, including Bharatiya Janata Party leaders LK Advani and Sushma Swaraj who flew in from Delhi to bless the newly married couple.

Congress leaders like Digvijay Singh, Kripa Shankar Singh and Maharashtra ministers Chhagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane also graced the occasion. Ujjwal Nikam, special public prosecutor for the 26/11 attacks, was also present.

Kripa Shankar said: "I have come to congratulate Vivek and Priyankaji. I will pray they lead a very happy life. Suresh Oberoi and his wife wished for a long time to see their son get married, which finally came true."

Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam said: "Vivek is my good friend and I wish the couple a very happy married life."

Vivek's father Suresh Oberoi was on cloud nine and said: "I have got a daughter. I am very happy about Vivek. I am also happy about his performance in Rakta Charitra."

From the film industry, Fardeen Khan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Tabu, Genelia D'Souza, actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha, director Ram Gopal Varma and Farah Khan attended the ceremony.

Bollywod star Akshay Kumar made a big entry at the end of the wedding and left the venue within minutes after wishing the couple. "I wish them a happy life, that's all," he said.

Shatrughan Sinha said: "Vivek is a very nice boy, so is his family. They seem to be made for each other. I think it would be a fantastic bonding and should be like that."

Fardeen said: "I wish them a happy life forever."

Siddharth said: "I have known him for a long time and I am very happy that he is finally settling down and I am here to wish him and Priyanka the best."

Varma, who was instrumental in launching Vivek in Bollywood with the film Company, said: "I wish them a great charitra."

Riteish said: "I am happy for Vivek. Wish them a very happy married life."

Farah said: "I of course wish Vivek all the best. He has been a dancer with me, so I know him for a long time and I think this is the most perfect thing he has done in a long time.”
