Rani's googly to tinsel town
Rani Mukherji, after playing an angel in Kunal Kohli’s Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, is all set to play a cricketer in Yash Chopra’s next film. She’s paired for the first time opposite Shahid Kapoor and said with her throaty laugh, “I don’t know if any actress has played a cricketer before, but I’ve been learning cricket on the field for the past two months. I can play the game convincingly now, though not as good as the professionals yet, but I’m glad to be doing work which challenges.” So is she equipped to join the IPL next season? “I don’t know about that! But I’m definitely enjoying cricket. My practical sessions are on full swing.”
Rani is hungry for new roles. “At this stage of my career I feel I need new challenges. When Kunal offered me an angel’s role, I was kicked. For the first time I was playing a character who couldn’t cry. Now critics can stop saying Rani cries so much in all her films.” After an angel and a cricketer, what would Rani like to play? “Maybe an astronaut like Kalpana Chawla. And I’d also love to play a doctor. I’ve never done that before. Come to think of it, I’ve never worked with Shahid Kapoor before either. I’m doing so now.”
Isn’t there a danger of her being branded a resident Yash Chopra banner’s heroine since all her recent films have been with that banner alone? “Why?” Rani shot back. “Wasn’t Saawariya with Sanjay Leela Bhansali?”
Nandana Sen: Baring skin is not bold
Sultry Bengali actress Nandana Sen will be now seen in Ketan Mehta’s historical romance Rang Rasiya, playing painter Ravi Verma’s muse. Currently in the news for her bold scenes opposite lead hero Randeep Hooda, Nandana is basking in the attention showered on her.
Having mostly done glamorous roles, this seems different. However, she says it’s still a glamorous role, only in a period film. About the project, Nandana says, “He was trying to find the divine in the physical beauty of the character played by me.” She also has some words to spare on her ‘supposedly’ bold scenes. “We think too much about being bold. I think acting is, by definition, a bold profession. There is nothing bolder than baring your soul. Baring your skin is nothing.”Playing the muse of a controversial painter known for his vivid portrayal of women wasn’t easy for Nandana. That may be why she is so gung ho about the character. Let’s hope her bold effort pays off
Salman: 10 ka Dumb?
At a plush suburban five-star hotel, Salman Khan arrived in style for the launch of his much-awaited television debut, 10 Ka Dum. Salman stuck to his tradition of making a late entry. This time, he kept everyone waiting for a whole two hours, but made up for it almost as soon as he took the stage. Sallu, with a teensy ponytail for company, kept everyone entertained and gave a good enough glimpse of what to expect from the show. For starters, he kept taking digs at the media. “This is just like Maine Pyar Kiya,” he said, when asked about his television debut. According to him, the ponytail had been a trend he and pal Sanjay Dutt started back in the early 90s. But, in jest, he gave the media the answer they were hoping for. “Ooh, yes I’m inspired by Shah Rukh,” he said, fluttering his eyelashes. A song-and-dance routine heralded his arrival and Sallu explained that you didn’t have to have a very high IQ to participate in the show, so he was the right choice. Is it true, then, that brawny isn’t necessarily brainy? You said it Salman, we didn’t!

Star Spotlight: Amisha Patel
Amisha Patel belongs to a true multi racial family as her father Amit Patel is a Gujrati Maharashtrian and her mother Asha Patel is a Sindhi. Amisha’s grandfather was a well known lawyer and politician Barrister Rajni Patel who was the Congress Committe
Amisha Patel belongs to a true multi racial family as her father Amit Patel is a Gujrati Maharashtrian and her mother Asha Patel is a Sindhi. Amisha’s grandfather was a well known lawyer and politician Barrister Rajni Patel who was the Congress Committee President of Bombay.
Amisha is not just a famous Bollywood actress but also a Biogenetic Engineer from a university in United States. Amisha is also a gold medalist in economics. Before getting into films, she worked for a financial company, but she did not continue for long.
She soon joined Satyadev Dubey’s theatre group and started doing plays. Although her parents did not like her theatre as she was academically a brilliant student and was not using her degrees. With her excellent foreign degree and superb family background, Amisha was supposed to be the CEO of her family business. But Amisha could not leave her acting passion aside.
Amisha’s parents had good relations with the Roshan family of the Indian film industry. It was at a dinner at the Roshan’s house that Rakesh Roshan offered Amisha a role in ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’. This role was initially offered to Kareena Kapoor but she did not do it. So Amisha got lucky in getting ‘Kaho Na Pyar Hai’ which became a superhit and Amisha became a star overnight.
After ‘Kaho Na Pyar Hao’, life was not a bed of roses for Amisha. She had number of flop films to her credit like ‘Suno Sasurji’ with Aftab Shivdasani, ‘Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage’ with Hrithik, ‘Yeh hai Jalwa’ with Salman, ‘Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar’ with Jimmy Shergil. But then ‘Gadar’ opposite Sunny Deol became one of the biggest hit of Indian cinema. Amisha’s stunning performance in the film made her to stand in the front row of actresses in Bollywood.
In real life, Amisha is a very simple girl. She is a shy girl with a good sense of humour. Amisha loves to read books and listen to Jagjit Singh’s ghazals in her leisure time. She loves food and loves butter chicken and parathas. Amisha Patel has the best collection of bags and belts in Tinsel Ville. Recently she accused her father for not using her money correctly and since then she has quite strained relations with her parents. She is seeing director Vikram Bhatt these days.
