| John Abraham claims his acting to be as good as his body Posted: 18 Oct 2010 04:38 AM PDT  John Abraham has a physique that every man would love to possess, but the actor says he does not want his physical attributes to overshadow his performance, something he works equally hard at. He's happy that this trend is reversed in upcoming film "Jhoota Hi Sahi"."My physicality takes over a lot. It just preceeds over what I do. Even if I'm doing a sweet role, there is someone who would find it hot. I'm not apolegetic about the way I look, but somewhere down the line the physicality keeps coming to the forefront," John told IANS in an interview. "So I'm trying to work around a parallel road where my performances are as much seen... because I really work hard for them," he said. The actor's wish could well be fulfilled in Abbas Tyrewala's "Jhoota Hi Sahi", since he has kept his well-toned body and macho look on the back burner and plays a normal guy who works in a book store. The film is slated to hit screens Friday. "When Abbas spoke to me about the character, I was not worried about the way I would look, because I think the look completely befitted the character...I was worried about whether I would be able to carry off the look," John said. "When I saw the film, I fell in love with my character because this is probably the only film of mine where I have seen the first three minutes of the film looking at John Abraham on screen and after that I forgot that it's John and I was concentrating on only Sid (the character) and that's the victory of the character and the director," he added. To make John suit the character, director Tyrewala didn't let the 37-year-old actor gym for many months. "Abbas used to follow me to the gym, then it got too much. He used to say: get out of the gym. He said he wants a guy who is completely soft in his body, just very normal, who works in a book store. "But I wanted to gym at least a little bit because I'm an ectomorph. I have a tendency to lose weight, so I started losing weight and Abbas was very happy. When I saw the film, I hugged him and said 'thank you for not allowing me to work out'," John said. But wasn't he skeptical about changing his look for a film? "Every actor has got the fear of change and what happens is that some of us succumb to that fear and say that we want to stay within that zone that people like us in. "Some of us want to get out and take a risk, now whenever the going is good for me in terms of a look, I keep changing it and I enjoy that space. When I had long hair, people liked it a lot and a lot of people started keeping long hair but then I went ahead and changed it," John said. "So I believe that you need to take risks but calculated risks. At the same time I believe that you need to be a trendsetter and not a follower. So it's important for me to keep changing my look," added John. "Jhoota Hi Sahi" also stars Pakhi, Tyrewala's wife and the film's scriptwriter, opposite John. John was also proud of the fact that the film got a U certificate from the censor board. "This film has just got a U certificate. It's absolutely clean. It doesn't have foul language, doesn't even have a villain and it's the cleanest, most beautiful film. Even the members of the censor board said that after long, we have seen a film so clean without any double meanings," the actor said.

| Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra doesn't want to discuss her personal life online Posted: 18 Oct 2010 04:28 AM PDT  After following her on Twitter, Priyanka Chopra's fans can now get a sneak peek into her world through a voice blog, voice chats and an official YouTube channel, but no "personal" talk please, the actress says and adds she is looking forward to constructive criticism of her work and style.The Bollywood actress started the Twitter craze by being one of the first celebrities to join the microblogging site. Now she has gone a step further to make her presence felt in the online world. The 28-year-old signed an agreement with UTV Interactive to launch her voice blog, voice chats and an official YouTube channel. The launch was on Wednesday. "I think it's high time that I became confident enough to say that this is me and see if you want to. People have just seen me on the big screen, but there I'm playing a character, I'm never myself. But here, it's me, it's everything that I am as a person," Priyanka told IANS in an interview. "I can talk about stuff that happened behind the scenes, on the sets, backstage or at my place, just talking about things that I find interesting. It's a way of making people know the real me," she added. However, she stresses she will blog only about things she wants to say and not about her relationships and love life. "I won't reveal everything about myself. That's the most amazing part about interacting. I can say what I want to say, but one thing that I haven't done and never will is talking about my personal life. That is something I don't believe in talking about," Priyanka maintained. And any fear of rude or vulgar responses? "If someone is being rude or vulgar, I can block him. But if it's criticism, I'm very open to it. If there is someone who tells me that I didn't like your performance or your hair, I'll ask them why. I'm interested in knowing what their perception of me is," she said. "As actors, we are constantly in a place surrounded by people who just praise you; so it's lovely to have people around you who give you a reality check," added the actress who has starred in hits like "Aitraaz", "Dostana", "Fashion" and "Kaminey". Asked how she balances her personal and professional life, after being a part of so many ventures, the actress said: "You've got to make time for it. Personal life, for me, is my family and friends. I love what I do and I've never faced a conflict between my personal and professional life, and the day I do I'll learn to balance it. But at the moment, since I've not faced a conflict I'm sure it's balanced." "I'm good at multi-tasking," explains Priyanka blithely. Priyanka, who was last seen in "Anjaana Anjaani" opposite Ranbir Kapoor, has films like "Saat Khoon Maaf", "Don 2" and "Silence" lined up for release.

| Sachin Tendulkar makes time for a special date with Bollywood Posted: 18 Oct 2010 04:04 AM PDT  After scoring his 49th Test century last week Sachin Tendulkar made a call to his buddy filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra with a request.

| Saroj Khan wants Vidya Balan to dance on her tunes Posted: 18 Oct 2010 03:37 AM PDT  Ace choreographer Saroj Khan, who has made actresses like Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan dance to her tunes, has actress Vidya Balan on her wishlist now."I want to make Vidya Balan dance. I like her expressions. I remember seeing her in 'Lage Raho Munnabhai', her expressions in the song 'Pal Pal' were extremely good," Saroj told reporters via video conferencing here. After a successful first season of "Nachle Ve With Saroj Khan", she is once again returning to the small screen with second season and this time choreographer Terence Lewis will be joining her. Both the choreographers will be teaching their unique style of dancing to popular television celebrities. The line-up includes Neha Marda, Naman Shaw, Shaleen Bhanot, and Jay Bhanushali among others. All the celebrities will be competing with each other every week and then ultimately battle it out in the grand finale. The show titled "Nachle Ve With Saroj and Terence" goes on air Oct 25 every Monday to Friday on Imagine TV. Asked if the advent of international dance forms like hip hop, jazz has suppressed the classical dance form, she said: "I respect all dance forms, but I blame the parents for the supression of classical dance forms because they never encouraged their kids to learn them." The 61-year-old, who has been in the industry for over two decades, also expressed her distress over the change in the kind of Bollywood dancing over the years, but is confident that the era of elegant dancing will return. "I hate those songs. In our time, actresses used to be fully covered when they used to dance, but today, you see them dancing in lesser clothes," she said. "But life is a circle, I am sure that the previous era, where actresses used to dance with elegance will return. I have signed five films now where the directors want to have choreography like that of 'Dola Re', she added.
