- Mumbai, Feb 10 (IANS) They get along well enough to be called friends after their bonding in Macau for the Zee Cine Awards -- and now Ranbir Kapoor has made a special request to Shahid Kapoor to join him on a world tour in August.
Shahid is trying his utmost to adjust his dates to accompany Ranbir.
Confirming these developments, Ranbir's father Rishi Kapoor, who would also be the tour's producer, said: "Shahid and my son have become good friends. He is likely to join us. The rest of the details are still being finalized."
Shahid earlier had to opt out after his next film directed by Maneesh Sharma got delayed because of the director's back problem. But then, something unforeseen happened and Ranbir's bonding with Shahid got stronger in Macau during their performance at the Awards.
Regarding his own performance on stage with his son, Rishi said: "There's a demand for it. But whether my injured knees allow me the pleasure of dancing with my son, remains to be seen."
Besides Ranbir, Shahid and Katrina Kaif, the world tour would also feature Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma. - __________________________________________
- New Delhi, Feb 10 (IANS) Given her svelte frame and bold image, Bipasha Basu is surely a head-turner, but she says in her younger days, she wasn't considered pretty due to her dusky complexion.
"I was never meant to be beautiful. I was a short, dark and round girl. Nobody thought I was pretty at all. Cruel jokes have been made about it. I think most people were surprised by the way I looked," Bipasha said on an upcoming episode of Big CBS Love's "India's Glam Diva".
The show brings together women from the entertainment and sports industry to compete as India's final choice of the most glamorous diva. Those in the competition include Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan, Aishwarya Rai, Katrina Kaif, Sonam Kapoor, Sunidhi Chauhan, Ekta Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Sania Mirza, Freida Pinto, Shruti Haasan and Bipasha.
The episode featuring Bipasha will be aired Sunday. A few facts about the actress were unveiled during the shoot.
The 33-year-old actually wanted to be a doctor, but gave up the plan after she fainted while attempting to dissect rats. She went on to be a successful model, and entered filmdom in 2001 with "Ajnabee".
She was recently seen in "Players", and is now gearing up for the release of romantic comedy "Jodi Breakers". - ________________________________________
Shakti Kapoor Son Turns Osho DiscipleBy Subhash K Jha
Shakti Kapoor's son Siddhant is all set to make his debut as a gangster in Sanjay Gupta's Shootout At Wadala. Interestingly his character's name would surely amuse Siddhant's colourful father.
It's…er, Gyanchod.
And he's called that with a reason.
Explain Gupta, "Gyanchod has gyan about everything and everyone. He's one of John Abraham's gangs sharpest shooters with the sharpest tongue."
Alas, Siddhant's Big Scene in Shootout At Wadala may get snuffed out almost entirely by the censorboard. It's a lengthy 10-minute sequence where the debutant has to hold forth on the virtues of the Hindi expletive bahenc..d.
Believe it or not Siddhant's monologue on the lurid cussword is actually inspired by a speech by Acharya Rajneesh.
Says Gupta, "Go to Youtube and check out the lengthy speech that Osho has given on the virtues of the word 'f…k'. Likewise, Siddhant waxes eloquently on the ways that the Hindi cussword 'bahenc..d' is used by people. It can be put into any kind of relevance and any language - Punjabi, Gujarati, Bhojpuri, Bengali—and acquire a completely new relevance. Siddhant will be seen putting forward the many flavours and significances of that oft-abused cussword."
Would the young debutant just starting out on his career be comfortable rattling off the taboo expletive at least 27 times in 10 minutes?
Gupta seems think so. "The boy is a fabulous actor. He can do anything."
We asked Siddhant Kapoor what he thought of doing a monologue where he has to put forward the virtues of the Hindi profanity with the same seriousness gravity and profundity as Osho, but with plenty of pokerfaced humour.
Said the Kapoor boy, "I don't think I'd be uncomfortable doing it, as long as it's done in a humorous way. The characters in this film and their real-life counterparts used a lot of MCs and BCs. It will sound real and funny."
Chip off the old block, we must say.
But would the censorboard allow the boy's Big Scene to remain?
Sanjay Gupta has his fingers crossed.
"I hope and pray they do. Because if they cut they wouldn't know where to start. Siddhant uses the word so many times they'll lose count. They'd have to cut the entire sequence."__________________________________________
