Bachchans to sell Beti B’s pictures?

It has been some days since Aishwarya and Abhishek took their little baby home. There were grainy pictures of her all wrapped up in pink as grandpa Bachchan carried her out from the hospital - and that was it. So far, the Bachchans have not released her photo or arranged a photo-session for the paparazzi.

This has got the media speculating as usual. Are the Bachchans planning to sell her picture to the magazines? The latest buzz is magazines are scurrying to bag the first exclusive pictures — and are quoting an amount to the tune of over Rs5 crore according to DNA. The report also says that even international magazines are involved in the competition.

profile of wwe superstar wretler EDGE

2011-11-26T22:28:00.001-08:00

Adam Copeland was born on October 30, 1973 in Ontario, Canada. He made his pro debut in 1993. While on the indy scene wrestling as Sexton Hardcastle, he teamed with Christian Cage. Edge debuted in the WWE in 1998 as a loner that would enter the ring through the crowd.

The Brood:

While feuding with Gangrel, his "brother" Christian debuted at the side of Gangrel. Edge eventually joined the Brood which was led by Gangrel. The Brood then became part of the Ministry of Darkness which later merged into the Corporate Ministry. Edge & Christian left the Brood and Gangrel in 1999 and went on to become the most successful team in WWE history.

Edge & Christian:

As partners they won the World Tag Team Titles on 7 different occasions. Their 3 way feud with the Hardy Boyz and the Dudley Boyz was a classic as were the TLC matches they had against those teams. By 2001, the two men became goofballs that would allow fans 5 seconds of flash photography among other zany antics. In 2001, Edge won the King of the Ring tournament and that set in motion the undoing of this team.

SmackDown Superstar:

In the original draft, Edge was taken number 6 by SmackDown. While there, he feuded with Kurt Angle and won the WWE Tag Team Titles with both Hulk Hogan & Rey Mysterio. In 2003, Edge needed neck surgery and was off for a year.

RAW Star:

In March 2004, Edge was drafted by RAW. In June, he became World Tag Team Champ with the World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit. In July, he became Intercontinental Champion by beating Randy Orton. He feuded with Evolution and Chris Jericho. In September, he suffered a groin injury and missed a month of action. When he returned, he asked the fans to vote for him to fight Triple H in the main event of Taboo Tuesday.

World Title or Nothing:

By fan vote, he and Benoit were to wrestle for the tag team titles at Taboo Tuesday. He walked out on his partner who would go on to win the belts. The Edge vs Benoit feud culminated in a 3 way match with Triple H for the World Title which resulted in the title being declared vacant. Around this time, Edge’s autobiography was released.

Matt Hardy & Kane:

Edge started 2005 off feuding with Shawn Michaels. At WrestleMania 21, he won a Money in the Bank ladder match which entitled him to wrestle for any championship whenever he wanted to within a year. A few months later, reality and wrestling story lines collided as he started going out with Matt Hardy’s girlfriend Lita. This led to a feud between the men and a feud with Kane who was “married” to Lita at the time.

Cashing in the Money in the Bank Twice:

At New Year’s Revolution 2006, he cashed in his title shot after John Cena survived an Elimination Chamber Match. He easily beat the worn out champ to win his first world title. He lost the belt a few weeks later at The Royal Rumble. A few months later he won the title from Rob Van Dam but lost it back to John Cena. In May 2007, he won the Money in the Bank title shot from Mr. Kennedy and used it to easily beat the Undertaker the following night after the Undertaker fought in a steel cage match against Batista and was beaten up after the match by Mark Henry.

Love Leads to More Championship Gold and Problems:

Edge started a relationship with SmackDown GM that allowed him to gain an unfair advantage to continue winning championship gold. In the summer of 2008, the two got married. The marriage didn't last for long and Edge would eventually find himself on the other side of Vickie Guerrero's wrath. In 2011, he beat Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania XXVII to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. That turned out to be his final wrestling match before he was forced to retire due to medical issues stemming from the neck surgery he had a few years earlier.

Profile of wwe superstar wrestler RANDY ORTON

2011-11-26T22:28:00.000-08:00

Randy Keith Orton was born on April 1, 1980. He is a third-generation wrestling superstar. His grandfather was Bob Orton Sr. His father is WWE Hall of Famer “Cowboy” Bob Orton Jr., and his uncle is Barry O. After graduating high school, Randy joined the Marines. He left a year later with a dishonorable discharge due to unauthorized absences and disobeying a direct command. He spent 38 days in the brig of Camp Pendleton Base.

“Cowboy” Bob Orton:

Randy’s dad was best known as being the bodyguard of Roddy Piper and for his slow healing ability. He suffered a broken arm and had to wear a cast on that arm for years (which he conveniently used to knock his opponents out). His career highlight was being a part of the main event at the first WrestleMania. While the corner man for Roddy Piper and “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff, he accidentally hit Orndorff with his cast which led to Mr. T and Hulk Hogan winning the match.

The Third Generation of Orton’s to Enter the Ring:

”Cowboy” Bob took his son to a WWE show in 1999. He left that event with an opportunity to try out and he took advantage of that opportunity and was signed to a developmental deal with Ohio Valley Wrestling. In April 2002, he made his SmackDown debut. A few weeks later, he was injured and had to take some time off. He returned to the ring in September as a member of the RAW roster and suffered another again in one of his first matches back.

The Evolution of a Bad Guy:

Randy turned into a bad guy by the pompous way he was giving his medical progress. When he returned to the ring that winter, he became a member of Evolution. That group was led by Triple H and also included Ric Flair and Batista. During this time, he took the nickname of the “Legend Killer” because he would taunt, assault, and humiliate any legend he saw. He was able to parlay this momentum into a World Title shot at SummerSlam 2004.

The Youngest World Heavyweight Champion:

At SummerSlam, Randy beat Chris Benoit to become the youngest champion in WWE history. His enjoyment didn’t last for long. The very next night, Triple H turned on him and he was kicked out of and beaten up by Evolution. He lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Triple H the next month. He stayed a good guy for a few more months until he decided to challenge the Undertaker.

Rey Mysterio & Kurt Angle:

Randy Orton was able to secure a World Title shot at WrestleMania 22 by beating Rey Mysterio. In a three-way match, Rey became the champion when he pinned Randy. Kurt was angry at Randy for costing him his title. A few weeks later, Kurt broke Randy’s ankle as payback. That injury coincided with a 60 day suspension Randy was given for some backstage problems he was having.

Rated RKO:

When he returned in the summer of 2006, he became a member of the RAW roster again. He had a big match with Hulk Hogan at SummerSlam which he lost. That fall, he started to team with Edge as part of Rated RKO. The two men set their sites on D-Generation X. They won the World Tag Team Championships and were able to put Triple H out of commission. As WrestleMania 23 approaches, there is tension between them due to losing the titles and both men wanting the same thing, to be the WWE Champion.

The Age of Orton:

On October 7, Randy was awarded the WWE Championship due to John Cena's injury. He lost the title and regained it later that night from Triple H. He held onto the title for six months before losing it back to Triple H in a four-way match that also included JBL and John Cena. A few months later, he suffered a shoulder injury during a match against Triple H.

The Legacy:

When Orton returned to action, he started a stable called the Legacy. It consisted of Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes, the sons of "The Million Dollar Man" and Dusty Rhodes, respectively. They went after the McMahon family and injured Vince, Shane, Stephanie, and finally Triple H en route to regaining the WWE Championship. The group broke up in 2010 and Randy has been a fan favorite ever since. He was drafted to SmackDown in 2011 and won the World Heavyweight Championship form Christian less than two weeks later.

Profile of WWE superstar wrestler JOHN CENA

2011-11-26T22:27:00.000-08:00

Intro:

John Cena is the wrestling embodiment of the hip-hop culture. Like Enimen, John Cena uses his rapping ability to insult those he doesn't like. He even personalized the WWE title into a piece of bling-bling featuring a spinning WWE logo. This young superstar has reached the top of his profession and his future only looks brighter.

Pre-WWE:

John Cena was born in Massachusetts in 1977. While wrestling in the Ohio Valley Wrestling development territory of the WWE, he was known as Prototype. He was on the 2001 UPN reality TV show Manhunt which was cancelled due to bad ratings and a controversy about the legitimacy of the program.

The Doctor of Thuganomics:

In June 2002, he made his SmackDown debut by accepting an open challenge from Kurt Angle. The one thing he was missing was a compelling gimmick. That Halloween, he dressed like a Vanilla Ice impersonator and did his first rap. With this new hip-hop persona, he would insult the crowd before the matches by making bad raps about their city and wearing throwback jerseys of the enemies of the local sports team.

U.S. Champion:

With the help of his gimmick and improving wrestling ability, he was in a main event title match by April 2003. That November, the inevitable face turn occurred and his career has skyrocketed since. He was involved in a feud for the U.S. Championship with the 500+ pound Big Show. At WrestleMania XX, he won the title. Even though he wasn't the World Champ, he solidified his spot as the most popular wrestler on SmackDown.

The Champ is Here:

For the next few months, Cena was involved in feuds with Booker T and Carlito for the U.S. title. In the beginning of 2005, he won a tournament to fight JBL for the WWE title at WrestleMania. Prior to this match, he lost his U.S. title due to the interference of JBL. Cena got his revenge by becoming WWE champ at WrestleMania 21. He beat JBL in a rematch the next month in an I Quit Match.

From SmackDown to RAW:

During the annual draft lottery, John Cena moved to RAW. This move put him into an immediate feud with Chris Jericho. Jericho has released rock albums with his band Fozzy and Cena had just released his rap album. In this battle, hip-hop pinned rock. John Cena also started out on bad terms with GM Eric Bischoff, who vowed to do all he can to get the title off Cena and make his life miserable on Raw.

The End of an Era:

Cena began feuding with Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle and also caused the firing of Eric Bischoff by beating Kurt Angle and Chris Masters. At New Year's Revolution he beat both men plus Kane, Carlito & Shawn Michaels in an Elimination Chamber Match. Immediately following the match, Edge used his Money in the Bank Title Shot and easily beat the worn out champ. He regained the belt a few weeks later but later lost the title to Rob Van Dam.

The Marine and an Image Change:

Shortly before the release of his movie, The Marine, John beat Edge in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match to win the WWE Championship for a third time. The movie was a huge hit once it became available on DVD. Around the same time as part of an image makeover, he backed away from the rapping and throwbacks and now wrestles in camouflage shorts. His third title reign lasted over a year and he lost it via forfeit due to an injury.

Neck Surgery and Return:

A few months after returning from his arm injury, he suffered damage to his neck. In his first match back after having neck surgery, John won the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time by beating Chris Jericho. In early 2009, his two signature moves, the FU and STFU, were renamed the Attitude Adjustment and the STF, respectively. Since his return, he has won and lost the WWE Championship on several occasions as well as starred in a few more films for WWE Studios.

Contents

Early life

Leone was born Karen Malhotra in Sarnia, Ontario to Sikh Punjabi parents from India.^[1] Her father was born in Tibet and raised in Delhi, while her mother (who died in 2008^[5]) was from a small town named Nahan in Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh.^[1][6] As a young girl, she was very athletic and played street hockey with the boys,^[3] enjoyed ice skating on a nearby frozen lake and drinking hot chocolate in front of a fire after playing in the snow all day.^[7]

Though she was raised as a Sikh,^[1] her parents enrolled her in a Catholic school,^[1][8] as it was felt to be unsafe for her to go to public school.^[9] There she had her first kiss at 11, lost her virginity to a basketball player at another school at 16,^[8] and discovered that she was bisexual at 18.^[10] When she was 13, her family moved to Fort Gratiot, Michigan, then to Lake Forest, California a year later,^[8][11] fulfilling her grandparents' dream that the family be together in one place.^[1] She graduated from high school in 1999 and enrolled in college.

Career

Before working in the porn industry, she first worked at a German bakery,^[12] a Jiffy Lube,^[8] and later a tax and retirement firm.^[13]

A 2008 Eye Weekly article reported that "Leone does her best to maintain a link to Sikh traditions, even if more in theory than in practice. But she's unlikely to disavow her career path due to religion." and that Leone said "Girls will leave the industry claiming that they found God. Well, the fact is, God has always been with them the entire time."^[91] In a 2010 interview, she said "It’s a community-based religion. You walk into a temple and you’re greeted with the utmost respect... But, just like any religion it doesn’t want you to shoot adult material. I mean, I grew up going to temple every Sunday. When my parents found out they knew my personality which was very independent. Even if they tried to stop me or tried to steer me the right way they would have lost their daughter. I’m too headstrong. And it wasn’t a plan. It just happened and my career and everything just kept getting bigger and bigger."^[9]

I Eat
Food Preferences: Non-vegetarian likes vegetarian food. Likes sea food and Manglorean preparations.
Day Begins: As early as 6 or 7 am if shooting. On other days, up by 8 am. "The first thing I have is a glass of water, followed by breakfast and a shower. Breakfast is mostly balanced, idli dosa or eggs. I make my own breakfast."
Lunch: "My lunch is also balanced. It consists of dal, chawal, roti and sabzi.
I am very fond of food. Though I like home-cooked food, I am not very rigid about it, as I don't mind ordering from outside or eating unit food. We were very well taken care of on the sets of Om Shanti Om. The food would comprise dal, chawal, roti and sabzi. Occasionally, we would call for Chinese, Punjabi or South Indian cuisine. On the sets of OSO, Shah Rukh ate only boiled chicken and boiled vegetables. He shared his boiled chicken with all of us. It was well made and quite yummy."
Southie Food: "I like South Indian food — idli, dosa, pulyeogare (tamarind rice) and ghar ka khana. I like eating all the time and that includes in the evening. I have chai or coffee with sandwiches."
Fitness: "I don't have any fitness regime in particular. I prefer taking a walk and being outdoors. I don't feel I need to workout at my age or be careful about what I eat. However, if I feel I am putting on weight, I try to control my diet and also do yoga, aerobics and dance."
Hates: "I hate dahi but I love milk and cheese."
Will Always: "I always carry chocolates when I am shooting. I like dark chocolate with nuts and chocolates with a biscuit combination. I love chaats though it is quite difficult to have it while shooting.

Peek inside her fridge: "In my fridge you will always find chocolates."
Prefers: "I prefer to have a light brunch of soup and Caesar salad instead of the Sunday lunch."
Memories: "Some of my fond childhood memories are associated with chocolate milkshake. I was very famous for perpetually ordering chocolate milkshake and dropping it every time I could lay my hands on it at Mac Fast Food in Bangalore. My mom, Ujwala is our favourite cook in the family. She can cook all kinds of food, including South Indian food, very well. She cooks when I go home and it is undoubtedly the best."
In the kitchen: "I have always been fond of baking and cooking. Whenever I have free time I try to experiment with different recipes. I make really good upma. I can't remember how old I was when I first tried to bake but I have never had any cooking disasters."

Favorite Dishes: "My favourite dishes from my home town, Mangalore are fish curry, koli roti, prawn curry and fish fry."
Favorite Beverage: "My favorite beverage is South Indian filter coffee."
Restaurants: "I pay more attention to the ambience of a restaurant so I like the Dome at Marine drive. The Taj Lands End is very close to home and since it is open till late we drop in frequently. Bombay and Bangalore are full of good restaurants."
Favorite spice: Chilly.
Favorite Kitchen Appliance: Microwave.
What do you think you look like: "I resemble something between a bean, bhindi and carrot."

Bollywood Profile of

2009-05-26T07:54:00.000-07:00

No one in ordinary list expect the past of an upcoming actor but they will be eager to know how the actor will perform in his future acting career. Same as in the life of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, who came on screen tied in the misty of anonymity. He felt little bit embarrassing and was also laughed by others because of his tall and gawky structures. Mr. Bachchan was also known as ‘LAMBOO’. Though after not getting chance in both the fields of world, he didn’t give up his hope and effort of trying and that was the day of grateful for the entire Film Industry. He was also rejected from the All India Radio (AIR) as a announcer because his voice and the of speaking style was not as much effective as needed in AIR. He was turned down from the job of junior executive in Soap and Consumer Ltd in Delhi. After this incident he joined the Young Hopefuls in trams; wearing the same dress of anonymous executives in Calcutta. He also worked as a shipping agent for a short period of time and left out because of the continuous habits of drinking beer and doing not anything much made him to quit his job there. He had slept one night at the Marine Drive Beach, as had no wear to go and top of that he was unemployed too. As a fresher in the Film Industry, Amitji was made to wait on the sets for long hours of time and was ignored without any encouragement. Though Amitabh Bachchan has a good family background, then too he never used out any of his family helps but took inspirations. No one dare to think that the new-walker into the film industry with extra long legs soon became the Backbone of the film Industry that would sort-out the entire group of the Co-stars.

Director K. A. Abbas launched him in the film Saat Hindustani that went unnoticed by any one in the film Industry. But Prakash Mehra signed him for Zanjeer, which proved lucky for him and also worked out as an extraordinarily well for the young star and after that he never looked back. This versatile actor had also done play backing in most of his films. He also met with a serious accident on the movie sets of Coolie. This accident had also proved that he doesn’t have his fans in hundreds but in lakhs, the entire nation had prayed for his health and the prayers turned into a blessing for Amitji and as he returned to the scene with double the impact. It was Romantic moment for Amitji and his love at first sight for Jaya Bhaduri the famous Guddi girl who turned into Jaya Bachchan. He had a great Family and an excellent career which helped ‘Big B’ in establishing his company ABCL which helped a lot in releasing many controversial films like Mani Ratnam's Bombay and Shekhar Kapoor's Bandit Queen and Joy Augustine's Tere Mere Sapne and Sachin's Naam Kya Hai Commercial film's which was produced under the same banner. Among this he had some of the albums like Eer Bhir Phatte and Kabhi Kabhi, which was released by ABCL Company.

LIFE AS IN POLITICS

Amitji had retired from the Bollywood Acting world for a period of time. He then tried his luck in Politics. His enormous popularity brought him in a close relation with Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. He was also elected to parliament with a huge majority from his homeland city, Allahabad. But his position in politics did not last long and was not very effective as his colleague was implicated with some scandals. He lost his hope and gave up his seat in parliament, deciding never to get involved in political affairs again. And then he made a comeback to the commercial world of cinema but he failed to have the impact, which he had in previous years. However, he continued with his extraordinary public presence in India cinema. With the help of Satyajit Roy, Amitji started providing narration for films and cultural programs too. And such he owned his own ABCL Company, which was represented as AMITABH BACHCHAN CO-CORPORATION LIMITED. This company heads an entertainment company or a sponsor company, which became a principal sponsor of the Miss Universe Contest in 1996, held in Bangalore.

AWARDS AND HONOURS

Amitabh Bachchan was voted for continuous two years in the category of hottest male by PETA. He was also awarded as the Superstar of the Millennium replacing Sir Lawrence Olivier and Charlie Chaplin on a BBC Online Poll. Mr. Bachchan had achieved the National Award three times. He received a New-Comer Award in 1970s for his debut film Saat Hindustani and then for Agneepath in 1991 and then finally for Black in 2006 in the category of Best Actor. In between he was awarded many of the Critics Awards and 14^th times in Filmfare Awards in various categories. Mr. Bachchan had been honoured the PADMA SHRI Award in 1983 and the PADMA BHUSHAN Award in 2005 from the government for his tremendous efforts during his lifetime. Recently in the Filmfare Awards of the year 2006, he was awarded as the Best Actor for the film Black. His most recognizable and remember able Film fare Award he feels was when he was awarded the Star of the 20th Century Award in which he and Dilip Kumar were only the one stars who had won the Best Actor awards in three separate decades. Mr. Bachchan is the only the Bollywood Actor, whose name is listed and dominated by Hollywood Actors. He is only the first Bollywood Actor, whose immortalized has been potrayed in wax at Madame Tussands Wax Museum in London. In recognition of his distinguished career in films he is been conferred with an honorary and valuable Degree of Doctorate of Arts on July 19, 2006 from De Mont Fort University in Leicester, U.K.

Bollywood Profile of SHARMILA TAGORE

2009-05-26T07:52:00.000-07:00

Sharmila Tagore is a renowned Indian film actress from Bengal, who as of April 2005 heads the Indian Film Censor Board. In December 2005 she was chosen as an UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

She began her Hindi film career with Shammi Kapoor in 'Kashmir Ki Kali' and 'An Evening In Paris'. Although she was too young for a film career (she was barely thirteen), her freshness and ebullience made her a selling proposition. "Acting happened too early in life," she recalls. "In fact, 'Apur Sansar', my first film and then 'Devi', were supposed to be my only films. I worked in them during my school holidays."

Being Satyajit Ray's discovery in 'Apur Sansar' gave Sharmila a distinction from the onset. In their second film together, 'Devi', her portrayal of a teenage wife whose father-in-law believes her to be the reincarnation of Kali, moved America's most respected film critic, Pauline Kael to remark, "… she is exquisite, perfect ".

"But because of my early success with these films and because I was inundated with offers from with Shakti Samanta and Sachin Bhowmick who were known to my parents, I succumbed. So my career in films was a kind of chance with pressure, mingled with curiosity. But it was never meant to be a long-term goal. And when 'Kashmir Ki Kali' happened, it was suppose to be my only film in Bombay and I was going to get back to Calcutta. But films kind of kept happening and the acting bug slowly got hold of me." Although her initial films didn't give her much scope to prove her potential as an actress, she made an indelible mark in the minds of the audience with her performances. And with films like 'Aradhana', which charted the growth of her character from a young girl to an old woman, her career changed soon afterwards. Likewise, in a series of Rajesh Khanna hits like 'Daag', 'Amar Prem' and 'Safar', she was established as a star.

However, she continued to work with Ray, in films like 'Nayak', (where she surprised everybody by wearing spectacles throughout the film), 'Aranyer Din Ratri' and 'Seemabaddha'. "Looking back, I realise I was very different from the other actresses of my time. My behaviour was grossly misinterpreted. I felt I was making mistakes all the time. I'd wear clothes that were not suitable. Everybody would be wearing a sari and I'd turn up in jeans. I was also accused of being snooty and arrogant, which I was not. I didn't know that one was expected to lead a certain lifestyle."

However, her marriage to the former Indian cricket captain, Mansoor Ali Khan, the Nawab of Pataudi, has been one of the most successful ones in the industry, so much so that her best performances have been with the support of her husband. "Tiger was totally supportive. People were hundred percent convinced that our marriage would not last. But we have proved all of them wrong."

Then Rekha again made her world with Vinod Mehra a Bollywood actor and later they were divorced. In her first films in the early 70s she was plumpy and looking obese. In Hindi Cinema she was paired with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan as the famous and well-known couple and also has made total nine films as a heroine opposite him. The entire film industry had a great shock in early 80s when Rekha’s secret affair was crook out with the Big-B (Amitabh Bachchan) that was already paired with Jaya Bhaduri. Accordingly enough, the all three of them was later starred in the movie Silsila (’81) that indicate the topic of married man in love with a woman other than wife.

This was almost the last film of Rekha with Amitabh Bachchan being together. She is also named as Madonna and Cher of Bollywood industry due to her constant recovering throughout her career. She won the icon status in Bollywood industry for her four-decade career in Indian Cinema. Rekha was acted as a lead in Market (’03) when she was considered as the teacher of Kama Sutra in the controversial movie Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love (’96), several people at that time thought that this would be the finishing point of her career.

Bollywood Profile of RAKHEE

2009-05-26T07:50:00.000-07:00

Raakhee Gulzar was born on August 15, 1947 in India, also known as Raakhee or Rakhi, is an Indian Bollywood actress originally from the state of West Bengal . Raakhee Gulzar's career spans from the 1970s to the present.

Raakhee, besides Moushumi Chatterji, was another married Bengali actress to make it in Hindi films. However, it was not easy. She was married to Ajoy Biswas, a journalist and director. After a screen test, she was not selected even for the film he was directing (Sambandh). Rajshri Films gave her the first break opposite Dharmendra in `Jeevan Mrityu` (1970). The film was a hit and a career began.

While still a teenager, Raakhee had a very brief unhappy marriage to Bengali film director Ajay Biswas.

She was awarded the Padma Shri in 2003. She has a daughter called Meghna (Bosky) who had directed a film named Filhaal starring Sushmita Sen, Tabu, Sanjay Suri and Palaash Sen.

Her haunting beauty and talent (`Daag`) win her several admirers. At the peak of her career she married once again. The man was Gulzar. Unfortunately, this marriage too didn't work out. While the couple didn't divorce, they separated. Raakhee made a comeback to films and followed several silver jubilee hits Tapasya and Kabhie Kabhie (1975), Trishul and Muqqadar Ka Sikander (1978), Kaala Patthar (1979) and Laawaris 1981).

Interestingly, both her husbands were romantically involved with Meena Kumari. A Meena Kumari hang-up has always been visible in Raakhee. This turned her into an alcoholic and also aged her faster. But, like Meena Kumari, her strong point was an expressive face and an equally animated dialogue delivery, which helped her make her presence felt. Unlike most of her contemporaries who faded away or cribbed for not getting meaty roles, Raakhee happily accepted mother roles. She even agreed to play mother to Amitabh, once her romantic lead, in `Shakti` and continued playing mother roles in several films.

The films include `Ram Lakhan` (1989), `Khalnayak` (1993) and `Karan Arjun` (1995) where she has played mother to Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.

The intensity with which she once projected her love was transferred to strength to becoming an avenging angel in `Karan Arjun` and several other films.

Raakhee loves to cook fish curry and every member has tasted it at least once.

Bollywood Profile of TANUJA

2009-05-26T07:47:00.000-07:00

Tanuja was born in Mumbai into a family of four children as Tanuja Samarth to poet Kumarsen Samarth and his wife Shobhna Samarth. Her mother was a famous 1930s and 1940s actress. When she was very young her parents separated. Tanuja entered films as a child actress and continued working until 1973. She met director Shomu Mukherjee on the set of Ek Baar Muskara Do. A whirlwind romance ended in a 1973 marriage. They had two children: Kajol Mukherjee (b. 1975) and Tanisha Mukherjee (b. 1978). They were later divorced.

The younger sister of Nutan and one of the daughters of '40s actress Shobhana Samarth, Tanuja was known for her tomboyish behaviour on the sets, and a rebel image. Unlike most heroines, she refused to play games and chase after roles. If inspite of that, she was successful, only due to her talent. Her films included 'Jeene ki Raah', 'Jeeo aur Jeene Do', 'Do Chor', 'Mome ki Gudiya', 'Mere Jeevan Saathi', 'Humshakal', 'Imitihan' and the most successful of them all, 'Haathi Mere Saathi'.

She was among the rare heroines who smoked but did not hide the ever-burning cigarette in her hand, and never disguised her whiskey in a bottle of Coca Cola, like most heroines of '60s did. Tanu had acquired this boldness from her grandmother who was as open about her relationship with Motilal. This openness did cause her heartbreaks but she finally settled down in marriage with Shomu Mukherjee. The marriage was certainly stormy and when she played the wife of a busy journalist in 'Anubhav' there were comparisons. Tanuja happily shifted to character roles. Her daughter Kajol, the third generation of actress, continues the tradition.

Bollywood profile of NEETU SINGH

2009-04-04T01:37:00.003-07:00

Neetu Singh was born on July 8, 1958. She worked as a child actor under the name Baby Sonia and successfully made the transition to leading roles. Baby Sonia was the rare child star to play a double rolein 'Do Kaliyan'. She brought tears to the eyes of women audiences when she mouthed long entreaties to reunite her estranged parents. She did several films as a child star and then went into hibernation, to emerge as the sexy, grown-up Neetu Singh. Neetu Singh grew up under the footlights of Bollywood. In most of the films she appeared Neetu was cast as the fun-loving daughter or the 'optimistic' or 'lively' girlfriend. She was buxom. She danced with and cajoled all the top young stars of her day, especially Rishi Kapoor with whom she appeared in half a dozen films.

On film and off Neetu and Rishi Kapoor romanced each other. This romance led to the nuptials of the couple, when in 1979 after a much publicized engagement that was the talk of Bollywood, they were married. Neetu was 21 at that time. Shortly after, at the top of her popularity Neetu Singh retired. At that time it was customary for actress to retire after marriage and Neetu left films.

For her second innings as an adult, glossy, revealing pictures of Neetu were circulated among the film-makers. Raj Kapoor, who was later to become her father-in-law, was the first to fall for her ample cleavage displayed in her photographs and signed her for 'Ram Teri Ganga Maili' which he was planning with Rishi Kapoor. Unsure of himself after the failure of 'Mera Naam Joker', RK shelved this film and started 'Bobby', where he preferred Dimple Kapadia over Neetu. Neetu, in fact, made her adult debut opposite Randhir Kapoor in 'Rickshawala'. Though she paired with all the top stars including Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh, Shashi Kapoor and Jeetendra it was with Rishi Kapoor that Neetu made a hit romantic pair ('Rafoo Chakar' 'Khel Khel Mein', 'Doosra Aadmi', 'Amar Akbar Anthony' and 'Kabhi Kabhie').

Child actresses-turned-heroines usually do not have a fascination for fame, get weary and try to settle down. After an initial opposition from Raj Kapoor, who did not want an actress bahu, Neetu and Rishi Kapoor finally tied the knot. They have two children; daughter Riddhima and son Ranbir. Riddhima their daughter is a fashion designer and recently married to a Delhi based industrialist called Bharat Sawhney. Their son Ranbir Kapoor is an upcoming film actor.

She studied in St. Joseph's Convent School, Bhopal. Jaya's height is 5'2" or 1.57 m. She started her career with a small role in Satyajit Ray's Bengali film, Mahanagar at the age of 15 in 1963. After initial success in her native West Bengal, she became a success after Guddi in which she played a schoolgirl obsessed with film star Dharmendra after which she moved to Mumbai and starred in many Hindi hit films, such as Jawani Diwani, Uphaar, Anamika, and she helped her husband become a star by acting with him in Zanjeer (1973), Abhimaan (1973), Chupke Chupke (1975) and Sholay (1975).

On June 3, 1973, she married actor Amitabh Bachchan. The couple have two children: Shweta Bachchan-Nanda and Abhishek Bachchan, who is also an actor. She has lived her entire married life in the public eye, yet she has always kept her distance from the media.

Jaya Bachchan has returned to the Upper House as MP of Samajwadi Party in July 2006. Her re-entry into parliament was a great photo op for the journalists when her husband Amitabh Bachchan accompanied her to the swearing in ceremony.

Bollywood profile of SANJEEV KUMAR

2009-04-04T01:35:00.002-07:00

Haribhai Jariwala, a lower middle-class Gujarati family living in Surat, was once a theatre actor who struggled to find a footing in the film industry. A stint in film school took him to bollywood, where he eventually became a star. He is known as one of the finest actors of all time. He accepted bit roles and even did C-grade stunt films 'Chanda aur Bijli' before going on to become a towering performer. Interestingly, Sanjeev had earlier failed in a screen test for a Rajshree film. While he always smiled at the mention of that rejection, Sanjeev seems to have silently left his mark even in stunt films.

Sanjeev Kumar talent and professionalism were recognised and he graduated to be pitted opposite the spian Dilip Kumar in 'Sunghursh' , where he confronted the senior actor unflinchingly and won the day. Sanjeev Kumar performance as a mentally unbalanced dejected lover in 'Khilona' came in for lot of praise as he projected lunacy with his eyes and unkempt looks, caring more for authenticity than appearance. In 'Koshish' , he played a deaf-mute starring opposite Jaya Bhaduri.

With Jaya, he gave some of his best performances and interestingly, played her lover 'Anamika', father 'Parichay', father in law 'Sholay' and husband 'Silsila', breaking all the known conventions in Hindi films. "I would love to play her son. This would complete the picture," Sanjeev had said.

Though he could not do that, Sanjeev excelled by acting nine different characters in one film, 'Naya Din Nayee Raat', blending the make-up and get-ups with his personal make-up man, Sarosh Modi and his own creativity. Unhappy and dejected in love, in his private life, Sanjeev tried drowning his loneliness in alcohol. Coupled with his weakness for good food, it resulted in a weight problem and a heart ailment.The man who had played husband, father and grand-father ironically died a bachelor.

Bollywood Profile of mallika sehrawat

2009-03-27T06:02:00.002-07:00

Mallika Sherawat born October 24, 1981, as Reema Lamba in Rohtak, Haryana, India. Mallika is an Indian actress and model . She has a degree in philosophy from Miranda House, Delhi University.
Sherawat's birth name is Reema Lamba; she says that adopted the screen name of "Mallika", meaning "queen", to avoid confusion with other actresses named Reema. "Sherawat" is her mother's maiden name.

Struggling to acquire the tag of India's sex symbol, Mallika Sherawat has virtually dropped her clothes to clinch the 'coveted'(?) title. Mallika started out as a small-time model and actress from Delhi. Mallika always had stars in her eyes and was determined to pursue the glamour profession and give it all it took to make it! Even though her conservative father was dead against her decision (he still is!), Mallika defied his wishes and moved to Mumbai to carve a niche for herself in the big bad world of showbiz!

Initially an air-hostess with Indian National Carrier AIR INDIA, The rumour is that she was already married to one, Capt. Gill from Delhi, but sadly, the marriage didn't exactly work!

She made her first onscreen appearance in a music video. She first attracted wide notice with her appearance in the 2003 movie Khwahish, which was, by Indian standards, quite racy. Ms. Sherawat appeared in a number of revealing costumes.Later that year, she starred in Murder, a film that again challenged Indian film standards. She received a 'Best Actress' nomination at the Zee Cine Awards for her performance in that film.

She apparently listens to 4-5 scripts every day these days and says no to all of them, thereby leading to further talk about her highhandedness. Disgruntled directors claim she’s developed an attitude. But Mallika isn’t bothered. "I’ve always been exactly like this. I speak my mind and I expect others to do the same." Mallika begs innocence. "If I was noticed in the film, is it my fault?" she says with a hurt expression. "Is it a crime to be successful?"

Apparently statements such as "I’m like Viagara for the audience" and "I don’t mind doing a porn film" were part of a carefully-orchestrated game plan for Murder which Mallika wasn’t entirely comfortable going along with. All the hoopla about her sexy image is all a front. At heart Mallika claims to be a conservative girl with "an inbuilt censor". Talks about an affair with Mahesh Bhatt embarrass her. "How can I be involved with someone old enough to be my father?" Father or no, Sherawat has cleverly moved on. She recently met Ram Gopal Varma. The hot-and-happening duo hit it off instantly. Varma says he’s planning to cast Mallika "as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

Mallika did a number of ad films including the Santro ad with Shah Rukh Khan. She also made news when she won a small role in a Jackie Chan movie, The Myth, where she again appeared in "sexy" costumes. She made a widely publicized
appearance at the Cannes Film Festival to promote The Myth.

In July 2004, the Bollywood film producers' union IMPAA temporarily blacklisted Mallika. Filmmaker Ramesh Sharma complained that she broken her contract with him when she failed to turn up, as promised, for the filming of Kab Kyun Kahan (started in 1999).

Bollywood profile of JACKIE SHROFF

2009-03-27T05:54:00.000-07:00

JACKIE SHROFF

He's considered one of Bollywood's most affable stars. So much so, Jackie Shroff is open to fielding questions about everything under the sun including his take on the opposite sex, his own sexuality, his family life, his financial difficulties and then perhaps, his film career! This has been the story of his life, ever since Jackie graduated from being a small-time 'dada' at Teenbatti (in South Bombay) to a popular model, till finally, Dev Anand picked him up for a minor part in Swami Dada (1982).

Jaikishen Kakubhai Shroff wanted to become a villain in the Indian film industry but became a hero. He began his career as a model. Subhash Ghai's film 'Hero', which became a blockbuster shattered the myth that models cannot act. Despite being a successful actor, there was a time when the dark alleys of his past seemed to call him back. Drugs and booze fuelled his system.

It is also heard that he's is now prepared to go back to doing what he started off with playing the villain. Given his easygoing disposition and 'nice guy' image, wonder how he's going to fit the bill. But who knows, he might just pull this gamble off too like he's done several times in the past.

Jackie Shroff Entertainment Limited (JSEL), a company floated by the star, first production, 'Grahan' fared disastrously but his next ventures Sandhya and Boom seems to be promising.

Bollywood Profile of Naseeruddin Shah

2009-02-26T01:06:00.000-08:00

Naseeruddin Shah

Other names: Nasiruddin Shah
Date of Birth: 20 July 1950
Height: 5'10" or 1.78 m
City: Delhi
Country: India
Children: daughter Heeba Manara Shah
Marital status: married
Spouse: Ratna Pathak
Education: National School of Drama in Delhi, Film and Television Institute of India
Occupation: bollywood actor/director
Debut Film: Nishaant

Shah showed interest in an acting career from his childhood. He graduated from the National School of Drama in 1973 and enrolled in the Film and Television Institute of India the same year.

After watching Geoffrey Kendall's theatre group, Shakespeareana perform at his school, Naseeruddin Shah was very impressed with the art of acting. He joined the Pune Film Institute and in 1975, Shyam Benegal offered him 'Nishaant'. His debut film was followed by several supporting roles in Shyam Benegal's films.His major break through came with 'Junoon' in 1979 where he played the character of a hotheaded revolutionary and with 'Aakrosh' as the activist lawyer. His subsequent films, 'Masoom', 'Khandhan', 'Paar', 'Katha', `Sparsh` and 'Pestonjee' established him as an actor par excellence.

However his stint with commercial cinema in films like 'Tridev', 'Mohra', and 'Najayaz' did not make much demand on his talent. And today, Naseeruddin Shah is busy doing theatre and also teaching at acting workshops. His recent performance in `Sarfarosh` as a muslim with divided loyality has come in for a lot of praise.

His wife Ratna Pathak Shah and daughter Heeba Manara Shah have also graduated from the National School of Drama (1981 and 1999 batches respectively).

He retained his Muslim name and did not adapt a Hindu screen name (which was done by some popular actors, most notably Dilip Kumar) owing to a promise he made his father [citation needed].

Lt Gen Zameer Uddin Shah , brother of Naseeruddin Shah was appointed the Deputy Chief of Army Staff , Indian Army on Oct 1st 2006.

It was left to B R Chopra to introduce Raj Babbar in a totally negative but very noteworthy role in 'Insaaf Ka Tarazu' (1980). Babbar, however, did not remain confined to negative characters and played a variety of roles in films like 'Nikaah' (1982), 'Mazdoor', 'Naukar Biwi Ka' (1983)and 'Aaj ki Awaaz' (1984), besides nondescript films like 'Poonam' and 'Prem Geet' (1981).

He fell in love with Smita Patil during 'Bheegi Palkein' (1982) and they did several films together: 'Kanoon Meri Muthi Mein', 'Pet, Pyar aur Paap' and 'Shapath' (1984), 'Hum Do, Hamare Do', 'Jawaab' and 'Mera Ghar, Mere Bache' (1985), 'Teesra Kinara' (1986) and 'Waaris', which was released two years after her death.

Babbar's other films include 'Salma' (1985), 'Jhoothi' (1986) and 'Sansar' (1987). The Babbars also produced 'Karamyodha' (1992).

He married Nadira Babbar and also late Smita Patil. Arya Babbar and Juhi Babbar are two children from Nadira Babbar. After the birth of Smita's son Prateek Babbar, she died after few days. After her death Raj Babbar patched up with his first wife Nadira Babbar. Although Prateek Babbar lives with the family of Raj Babbar's in-laws. Raj Babbar was also linked with Rekha soon after the death of Smita Patil.

He joined Samajwadi Party and got himself involved in politics and became Member of Parliament of India for three times. Currently M.P. (Lok Sabha) from Agra. Due to some controversies with Amar Singh, Babbar got suspended from Samajwadi Party eventually losing to Amar Singh. Raj Babbar emphasized "socialism" the basis of formation of Samajwadi Party, however Amar Singh has star power which brings lot of influence and money-power which is critical for survival in the political system of India. Later he joined with former Prime Minister of India V. P. Singh who functions under an outfit names as Jan Morcha.
