| Khatron Ke Khiladi girl – Priyanka Chopra shoots the Fear Factor sequence Posted: 28 Jul 2010 05:51 AM PDT  priyananka After returning from Bankok, where she had loads of fun doing stunt shoots, Priyanka Chopra says “I rode a dirt bike. I shot with an alligator and a bull. It was fun.” Piggy Chopps, is very keen distract contestants on Fear Factor. “That’s what my intention is. To make them so distracted they won’t be able to do their stunts.” Before going for the Indian version of Fear Factor shoot, Priyanka Chopra was spotted celebrating her birthday in Phuket. She tells us about her holiday :”Apart from the mishap that happened when I dropped my phone in the water and couldn’t receive any birthday greetings, I had a fun time. Like I had told you before I left, I was generally not recognized. But even if I was I didn’t mind. Being recognized is part and parcel of what I do.” Priyanka feels a change within herself. “I feel I’ve become reclusive. I like to be within myself.” During the Fear Factor shoot, Priyanka played with fire. She did stunts where it was required of her to to race on a motorbike that too on the most impossible terrain. She challenges a group of punks for the race. The punks in real are professional riders who are used to riding on such terrain, but Priyanka faced the challenge of her life when it was asked of her to win it. Initially Priyanka was being provided with a body-double, but she insisted on doing the whole thing. They shot for 20 hours on the first two days. Says Priyanka, “There is no challenge in half-measures. You either do the whole thing or don’t do it at all. I’ve always been fascinated by mo’bikes. I love mo’bike stunts. When I had seen Tom Cruise do the mo’bike stunts, my first thought was, ‘Gawd if only I could get to do that.’ I guess my wish came true.” | ||
| Vodaphone 247, solar phone, priced at Rs 1500 Posted: 28 Jul 2010 05:08 AM PDT  Vodafone 247 Mobile A solar mobile phone, called VF 247, has been launched by Vodaphone Essar. This mobile phone would charge itself in the sun. The phone would exclusively be a success in India. This is because India is a hot country in most parts. And power supply is already a problem. The prices would be comparatively very less, somewhere around 1,500, as the rural people are being targeted as the buyers. Last year in June, Samsung had also released Solar Guru, which consumed solar power for charging. Its price in the market was Rs 2,799. But unfortunately, it did not survive much in the market. Consumers are sick of phones getting discharged while talking and the market demands more than it is being provided with. So these days, mobile production companies are trying to increase the battery life of mobile phones. That is why, solar operated mobile phones have good chances at being successful. Vodafone 247 would charge under the sun’s rays as well as has the facilty to be charged with electricity. The phone would provide facilities like FM radio, colored screen and and a torch too. Marten Pieters, MD and CEO of Vodafone Essar says "Vodafone’s solar powered phone is launched for people residing in areas where electric supply is unstable, so that consumers can rely on solar charging to remain connected. This launch is likely to enable more people in rural India to go mobile and thus increase penetration from the current 20 percent. We will continue to invest to uplift the quality of telecom services and products in India," | ||

He was a good person, involved in social work and politics of the country. Releasing the movie as it is would defame the family. More, she wishes that the movie be first screened by Ekta Kapoor and Sunil Shetty, producers of the movie, so that the objectionable scenes can be deleted. Ekta’s laywers think that it might be their strategy to squeeze out money from the producers. Mastan’s adopted son, Suleiman had also issued a case against the movie in Mumbai. The petition is supposed to come out by Wednesday. Click here for Mp3 songs | ||
