Salman Khan clearify to Bhansali for any controversies: Actor Salman Khan has very sportingly used the platform of Bigg Boss 4 to clarify any controversies surrounding him or so it seems.

His statement on the recently released 'Guzaarish' didn't go down well with Bhansali. Apparently, Salman is heard to have said that in the film they show a housefly buzzing around, but in reality not even a mosquito went to watch the movie!

However, Salman explained what exactly happened: I was at a charity event when this girl who couldn't hear or speak came up to me and requested that I make a film on people like her.

Honestly, I've tried to be a part of such films - Khamoshi, Phir Milenge... but they just don't work. So I told her, Sanjay Bhansali makes movies like these.

If you want charity, go to Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She said she didn't want charity.

I simply replied, "You've just saved Sanjay Leela Bhansali some money in that case!" I hear Bhansali is angry with me now, so be it! I thought we'd do four to five films together in our lifetime, now I think it'll be only two - Khamoshi and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam!"


Well, it's important never to say never in the world of Bollywood. And especially with someone as spontaneous as Salman Khan. We are in need of some more magic, Mr. Bhansali!

Hrithik Roshan gives a few sensible words for Salman Khan: Salman Khan recently stirred a storm in a teacup by his acerbic comments on director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his film Guzaarish.

Bhansali is a hurt man nowadays. At an award function recently Salman, his good friend, had made insulting remarks about the film-maker and his latest creation Guzaarish. Salman had called Bhansali an opportunist who makes film on disabled people to make money but doesn’t donate a dime for charity. He had even mocked Guzaarish and said that not even a macchhar (mosquito) went to see the film, while at the same time Sallu alluded to the super success of his own film Dabangg.

While Bhansali has chosen silence over retaliation, Hrithik Roshan, the lead star of Guzaarish, has jumped in for Bhansali’s defence. Despite Salman being many years senior, Hrithik has a few sensible words of advice for Khan.

“In my opinion a hero never gloats. When you are super successful...this is the time one should use to turn even enemies into friends...just give love, not laugh at others. By the time I finish this sentence, I have already forgiven his (Salman’s) words,” Hrithik is quoted as saying by a tabloid.

Hrithik’s response is without rancour. Hope Salman would reply in the same vein.

Yana Gupta facing leagal suit for obscenity in a public place: Yana Gupta who was recently clicked without her underpants at a charity event held for kids in Mumbai is now facing a legal suit for obscenity in a public place.

Rizwan Ahmed, a social activist from Lucknow, has filed a legal case against Yana, the photographer who clicked her, and the organizer of the event under the sections 292, 293 and 294 of Indian Penal Code.

According to Ahmed, he was shocked to see Yana’s pantyless pics in the papers and was most offended when she laughed off the faux pas and boasted about being the ‘no-panty girl’.

Ahmed feels it was a publicity stunt done by Yana in connivance with the photographer and the organizer of the event.

The court has summoned the three for a hearing on Monday, December 6.

‘Guzaarish’ wasn't even watched by Dogs: Salman Khan: Salman Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali might have been best of pals at one time but now the two are nothing short of sworn enemies. And it’s all owing to Aishwarya Rai starrer ‘Guzaarish’ that had Hrithik instead of Salman in the lead.

And believe it or not but Salman is going around town word-bashing Bhansali and his movie ‘Guzaarish’ in the most rough words possible. The actor said that ‘Guzaarish’ wasn’t even watched by dogs- “koi kutta bhi nahin gaya”.

It all started when Salman gifted Bhansali a DVD of Christopher Nolan’s `The Prestige`, which allegedly became the starting point for ‘Guzaarish’. However when Bhansali decided to cast Hrithik instead of Salman in the lead role, Sallu was much too angry.

And now the actor has openly spoken, rather trashed, Bhansali’s latest work on a public forum. Not mincing any words, Salman on a recent award function took sleazy potshots at the taskmaster. The actor while answering a little girl’s questions on how to make it big in showbiz said, “Jaake usko milo. Voh tumhare pe picture bana dega, khud khoob kamayega, lekin tumko kuch nahin dega,” (Go and meet Bhansali, he’ll make a film on you. He’ll make pots of money but won’t pay you a dime).

And when one person in the audience asked him for his opinion on ‘Guzaarish’, Sallu said, “Arre, usme toh makhi udd rahi thi, lekin koi machhar bhi nahi gaya dekhne. Arre, koi kutta bhi nahin gaya,”

Well, looks like it’s a case of sour grapes for Salman.

Shahrukh Khan Kisses to John Barrowman?: Shahrukh Khan has appeared in quite a few movies where he has acted in jest of being attracted to a man, just for the fun of it. However, one really never knows when certain gestures in real life become hot topic for discussions and create havoc.

Thus when a certain picture of SRK in a smick and smack gesture with another man started doing the rounds on the web, there began speculations of all kinds.

The picture that is doing the rounds is of Shahrukh Khan and John Barrowman giving each other a peck on the lips! The image was taken some time back when the two had appeared on the Jonathan Ross show. Perhaps there’s nothing much there, except for some formal greeting, but then considering some of the movies that are being made this gesture has incited a lot of excitement.

Shahrukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan have enacted the role of being attracted to each other in reel life but not in real life, ever since then the enactment became so popular that they started coming at awards functions as anchors with the same trait of attraction. They were given such dialogues which had some very funny double meaning and thus the two became extremely popular as the guys who simply couldn’t avoid each other- well on screen of course!

All that just for fun. But with this new picture of SRK on the internet, the excitement seems to have been re- kindled in real life.

Kareena Kapoor's Love and Bollywood Khans: Bollywood’s sexy diva Kareena Kapoor seems to be one Khan girl. After all, she has a sparkling camaraderie with almost all the Khans.

Actress of ‘3 Idiots’ is all gaga about Aamir Khan. She was ecstatic after working with him and had hailed him as the God of Bollywood. She was also eager to do a film with him as soon as possible. And behold, she is now a part of Aamir’s next with Reema Kagti.

Kareena has also been quite friendly with Shahrukh Khan and has worked with him in films like ‘Asoka’,  ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam’ and the upcoming ‘Ra. One’. And talk of Salman Khan, Kareena has already worked with him in a couple of films ‘Main Aur Mrs Khanna’ and ‘Kyunki…’. Though both the flicks were disappointing at the box office, their 3rd one ‘Bodyguard’ may turn the tables for them in Eid 2011.

Kareena, of course, is the girlfriend of Saif Ali Khan and now she has voiced her adoration for the cutest and the youngest Khan- Imran Khan. She has cited, “He (Imran) looks good and he’s handsome. I think he is the next generation super-star.” Both are to do a film together in ‘Short Term Shaadi.’

With all the Khans in her good books, the killer lady, surely, knows the tricks of the trade.

Yana Gupta pantyless wearing for publicity stunt?: Model turned actress Yana Gupta has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons after staying away from the limelight all this while. Yes, she has stunned the world by attending a public event without wearing underwear. And it looks like she did it to garner easy publicity.

Well, Yana hasn’t been in the news for quite sometime now, with no big project coming her way. But she seems to know that a celebrity has to resort to even cheap publicity to stay in the limelight and grab the attention of the public.

The news is doing the rounds that Yana Gupta was photographed sans panties at an international children's charity event held recently. It is reported that she tried to avoid being photographed but could not cover her short black dress. The photographers managed to get what they wanted – Yana Gupta without underwear.

The news of Yana Gupta's wardrobe malfunction has reached film director Farah Khan’s ears too. Farah requested guys on her Twitter page to buy Yana an underwear.

Well, by attending a public event without panties, Yana has got what she wanted – ‘PUBLICITY’. Of  course, not without paying a huge price!

Sonam Kapoor have a boyfriend?: During the time of I Hate Luv Storys, rumours about Sonam Kapoor seeing the young director Punit Malhotra were quite strong. But was that just a goss!

It’s learnt that Sonam and Punit are pretty much together even now. When Karan Johar asked Sonam in his show ‘Koffee With Karan’ whether she is single or not, Sonam replied, “You know, Karan....” and after hearing it Karan looked a bit amused. Karan knows Punit and even gave him the chance to direct his first film, that is I Hate Luv Storys, under his banner Dharma Production.

Sonam met Punit on the sets of I Hate Luv Storys and sparks started flying between the two.

Punit, who is the nephew of Bollywood’s ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra, has assisted Karan Johar in his various directorial ventures.

When most Bollywood beauties like to keep their status a mystery, why Sonam has to be different?

Yana Gupta without 'underwear' at 'International Children's Cherity Event': You often read about Hollywood celebrities like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and others being spotted sans innerwear but Bollywood celebrities haven't gone that far till lately.

However, Yana Gupta has done what her counterparts dare not do – she attended an event without underwear.

The news is doing the rounds that Yana Gupta was photographed sans panties at an international children's charity event held recently.

It is reported that she tried to avoid being photographed but could not cover her short black dress.

The photographers managed to get what they wanted – Yana without panty.

Well, the news of Yana Gupta's wardrobe malfunction seems to have spread like wildfire. Film director Farah Khan wrote on her Twitter page, “sm1 pls buy yana gupta an underwear.kya yaar.”

Yes, someone should buy her an underwear soon!

Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor: Ranbir Kapoor badly in style sense and sex-appeal: Ranbir Kapoor, who was voted the sexiest man alive by People magazine last year has been put down by his ex-flames Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor for being low on sex-appeal.

The dimpled south Indian lady said that Ranbir was low on sex-appeal and that she would gift him a pack of condoms, while the ‘Aisha’ star said that the Kapoor kid badly needed a stylist.

The two young women, who once could not stand each other, were seen teaming up on filmmaker Karan Johar’s celeb talk show ‘Koffee with Karan’ and the hot topic of discussion was the Kapoor lad.

Talking to a news daily, a source said, “The two girls who were said to be at loggerheads over Ranbir Kapoor till some time ago got along like a house on fire on Karan’s show.”

The two hotties of Bollywood used the talk show as a platform to subtly strike back at their one “ideal man”.

However, according to a source, the handsome hunk did not appreciate the comments made by his ex-flames as he thought they went overboard while discussing him on national television.

Revealing how disturbed Ranbir was after watching the show, the source said, “Ranbir is shooting for Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Rockstar’ in Delhi and his displeasure was very evident on the sets of the film. It did make for a fun watch, but it has definitely irked Ranbir.”

Well, it seems that Ranbir might soon have to run for cover as the two young women are on their toes to avenge their break-up.

Love Making Scene between Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan in 'Guzaarish': Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan indulged in the passion play of an altogether different kind while shooting for a scene in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Guzaarish. Since Hrithik plays a paraplegic who can’t feel a thing below his neck, a typical lovemaking scene between him and his nurse, played by Aishwarya, was clearly out of question.

What director Bhansali incorporated rather was a mock lovemaking scene, in which Ash gives a massage to Hrithik’s foot to ensure proper circulation of blood. That’s when Hrithik begins to feign the moans and sighs of sexual ecstasy. Ash too takes the cue and makes lovemaking noises - the oohs! and aahs! - in the scene.

In this way, the couple pretend having sex while not being physical at all.

According to Bhansali, the scene is funny rather than titillating.

Katrina Kaif maitained voluptuous figure or size zero?: Ever since Katrina Kaif began to lose weight and slim down for her role in Tees Maar Khan, her newfound figure has been topic of hot gossips.

Needless to say, fans loved Katrina with her curves. Never overweight, never chubby, Katrina was just about perfect, or so many had thought until the lady began to tone down for her feisty role in Farah Khan’s film opposite Akshay Kumar.

Just a glimpse of her in the trailer of Tees Maar Khan, and you know it’s a slimmer Kat with a near size zero frame.

So has she replaced Kareena Kapoor as the new size zero? Bebo is clearly enjoying her curves nowadays.
Well, many in the industry, including Bebo, the original holder of the size zero title, think so. But Kat, self effacing as usual, thinks the title should remain with its original holder.
Whatever, the bottom line is Kat’s new figure is clearly the talk of the tinsel town. Do we hear the girls already rushing to the gym?

Most Common between Vidya Balan, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra: Priyanka Chopra has suffered health setback earlier and the vanilla skinned Katrina Kaif is known for her affinity towards accidents. Katrina recently got her hair entangled in a table fan. She also bled her nose after getting hit by the barrel of a gun. Even earlier, she pulled a stomach muscle on sets of Tees Maar Khan.

But Priyanka and Katrina aren’t the only delicate gals of the B-town. Vidya Balan, who goes nude in FHM cover, has broken down on the sets of Sujoy Ghosh’s film in Kolkata. While the shoot was on, all of a sudden, she broke into hysterical sobs and tears.

Reason? Well, the reason for her emotional outburst was her gruelling schedule. Vidya has been burning midnight oil to dub for ‘No one Killed Jessica’ as the film is due for a January release. Besides, her daytime is eaten up by her shooting which is going on at high speed.

For the last 3 months, her schedule has been extremely hectic with not a minute of relief. Stress has taken a toll on her body and that’s precisely why her tears vented out earlier this week leaving all (including herself) shell shocked.

This is a harsh reminder of the price the celebs have to pay to reach to the zenith of fame. And we always envied their popularity and big money! Didn’t we?

Priyanka Chopra is Patakha no.1, Katrina no. 2: Her last release Anjaana Anjaani wasn’t that fantastic at the box office but that doesn’t mean Priyanka Chopra’s charisma has lost way to her fans’ hearts.

In a recently conducted online poll, the Kaminey star has been declared ‘Bollywood patakha’ by the netizens. The beautiful Katrina Kaif came second.

It was the special Diwali poll by MSN India and people had to vote for the categories of Patakhas, Phuljhadis, Bombs, Grenades and Dhamakas. Priyanka turned out to be the hot favourite as she also won the ‘Bollywood Phuljhadi’ poll.

King Khan, Shahrukh Khan is voted the ‘Bollywood bomb’ while the perfectionist Aamir Khan was on top in the ‘Bollywood Grenade’ list. Yes, surprisingly, Salman Khan couldn’t win any of these titles.

This year’s best grosser Dabangg was easily the winner in ‘Bollywood Dhamaka’ category.

Shahrukh Khan doing vulgar stuff: Rakhi Sawant: Rakhi Sawant has done it again. She has shot her mouth off without realizing the implications of her words.

The item gal who’s hosting the television show ‘Rakhi Ka Insaaf’ is often accused of indulging in over-the-top gimmickry to gain publicity.

Recently, when she was asked about these antics, Rakhi reportedly lost her cool.

According to a tabloid, she said: “People call me melodramatic... but I see Shah Rukh Khan doing such vulgar stuff at award functions. Ladkon par chadkar baith jaata hai, he talks vulgar, double-meaning dialogues... isn't that nautanki? He is educated, but see what he is doing...”

Unwittingly, in defending herself Rakhi has launched an attack on SRK.

We’re sure SRK has the wit and large-heartedness to forgive and forget what Rakhi said.

Aishwarya Rai to do hot passionate scene with Hrithik Roshan!: Aishwarya Rai had made a vow never to do intimate scenes with her co-stars (other than Abhishek Bachchan obviously) after her marriage. But she’s reported to have broken that vow.

Ash has reportedly done a hot passionate scene with Hrithik Roshan in the upcoming film Guzaarish, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. We hear that it was Bhansali who convinced Ash for the scene as it is very paramount to the script.

In the scene, a handicapped Hrithik gets intimate with Ash and she moans passionately. The scene was shot in the presence of minimal crew. Moreover, Hrithik and Ash were not uncomfortable getting intimate before the camera as they have in the past shot a sizzling smooch for Dhoom 2.

However, it’s not clear if the scene will indeed be retained in the film’s final print. Bhansali will take a call before the film’s release on November 19.

Ashmit Patel to kiss Sara Khan's neck in ‘Bigg Boss’: By now, viewers are well acquainted with Ashmit Patel and Sara Khan’s display of love in Bigg Boss.

But on episode 17 of the show on October 21, Ashmit kissed Sara, that too in front of everyone during a wrestling game on the show. He was excited and thus picked Sara - who was playing a cheer girl - to plant a kiss on her neck.

Earlier, Sara had torn her beau Ali Merchant’s picture on the show. Both Ashmit and Sara are like inseparables, always walking hand-in-hand. However, Sara’s boyfriend Ali Merchant believes that romance between Ashmit-Sara is ‘stage-managed’.
But reacting to Ali’s claims, Ashmit’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar is quoted as saying, “Ashmit is just being himself on the show. Nothing about him is fake or stage-managed. Even if his emotions were to be manipulated by someone on the show, he wouldn’t know it.”
Ashmit is also the favourite among the girls in the show because of his good nature and the decency he projects.

Here are some pics of Sara & Ashmit enjoying each other’s company in the Bigg Boss house:
