Thursday, July 29th, 2010Sonam Kapoor makes no bones about the fact that she is a feminist. Given her feminist leaning, it’s only appropriate that she’s the star of Aisha, which she claims is going to be “India’s first chick-flick”. The film, based on Jane Austen’s novel Emma, stars Kapoor as the eponymous heroine, who makes matches and is a general nosy-parker. Is the 24-year-old a busybody too? “No. I’m definitely not a busybody,” she laughs. “I never interfere in other peoples’ lives, but I do like to set my friends up. Which girl doesn’t?” Aisha is a movie of many firsts, she tells us. Click on to know about ‘Aisha’ directy from Sonam Kapoor, in this candid chat. Click on and enjoy the chat!

Versatile Saif Ali Khan
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010He is the Nawab. He is the son of the Nawab of Pataudi, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, and the actress Sharmila Tagore. He is none other than Saif Ali Khan. He is the heir apparent to the headships of both the royal houses of Bhopal and Pataudi. Saif made his debut in 1992 with Parampara. He had his first major success with the 1994 films Main Khiladi Tu Anari and Yeh Dillagi. After going through several years of decline in the 1990s, he rose into prominence with his performance in Dil Chahta Hai (2001), which marked his professional turning point. His performance in Nikhil Advani’s Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003) won him the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award, and he won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Hum Tum (2004). He then had commercial success with films like Salaam Namaste (2005), Race (2008) and Love Aaj Kal (2009), and starred in critically acclaimed projects such as Parineeta (2005) and Omkara (2006). These successes put him among the most successful actors in the industry. Since 2009, Saif has branched out into film production. He is the founder-owner of his production company Illuminati Films.
In 1998, Saif was charged with poaching two blackbucks in Kankani during the filming of Hum Saath Saath Hain along with co-stars Salman Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam. The charges were dropped soon after Saif was acquitted. On 18 February 2007, Saif was hospitalized at Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai due to experiencing chest pain while rehearsing for his performance at the Stardust Awards, to be held that night. After hospitalization, he stated he would quit smoking.
And when it comes to personal life, Saif married actress Amrita Singh in October 1991. After thirteen years of marriage and two children (son Ibrahim Ali Khan and daughter Sara Ali Khan), the couple divorced in 2004. His children live with their mother. In October 2009 Saif publicly spoke of his relationship with Kareena Kapoor and the prospect of marriage stating, that in his opinion people said that marriage does not affect one’s career but in fact it does and that today the whole definition of marriage has changed. He said, that he and Kareena were so well connected, so close that marriage is just a stamp of validation for the society.

Abbas Tyrewala moving into John Abraham’s home!
Sunday, July 25th, 2010Abbas Tyrewala is moving into John’s apartment to quell rumors of their professional rapport treading on thin ice.
We’ve heard of strong professional partnerships, but this one takes the cake. John Abraham, who has just finished the interiors of his new Band Stand apartment, will be having a visitor for many days to come: director Abbas Tyrewala of Jaane Tu…Jaane Na fame is all set to move, bag and baggage, to his actor’s home.
The director, who is making 1-800-LOVE, starring Abraham and his wife Paki, is taking this step to quell rumours about the faltering rapport between the actor and director.
There are strong rumours about John having been getting insecure and annoyed about Tyrewala’s wife Pakhi getting more screen time in the forthcoming film 1-800-LOVE. This allegedly was causing professional tension between Tyrewala and Abraham.
So sick in fact is Tyrewala about this that he has even decided to tag along with John to parties, shoots, public events, appearances, you name it. Till the time that the rumours die out in the media and the public about the so-called rift between John and Abbas, this arrangement will continue. Abbas may as well make a documentary on John’s life at this rate!
When contacted John Abraham laughed and said, “Abbas is a very sensitive director and he was getting very upset with all these rumours so when he suggested that he wanted to shift into my house I was very happy to have a friend around. I am also throwing a completion party for the film at my place on Friday night.”
Abbas Tyrewala said, “John is a wonderful friend and I love spending time with him and I see this as a opportunity to do so. I also love his house.”
Wonder what Bipasha has to say about this arrangement.
