Sara is totally enjoying watching them all from a secret room and other seem to realize that too but her comeback is pissing off Hrishant while the lovey-dovey couple Ashmit and Veena look visibly happy. Sara's return is bound to make waves here and all that is anticipated is more controversies and of course of a good dose of plotting by the inmates.

The only ones to have not done any wrong in terms of following of rules are Khali, Dolly, Ashmit and Veena as the Bigg Boss informs them all. The entry of Sara back from observing all the activities in the house is going to make quite a stir in the upcoming episodes.

All were hell bent on nominating Dolly but Bigg Boss announcing the nomination of 7 rule breakers has turned the table for now.

Kaun Banega Crorepati : Sporty ‘Super Six’ to grace KBC with Peas holding Big B responsible

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 01:09 PM PDT

KBC, Leander Peas, Big B

The very successful and amazing performers at the recently concluded Common Wealth Games in Delhi are to grace the sets of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' in the upcoming episode with Big B calling them ‘the Super six to have done India proud at this year’s CWG’.

The achievers who will be present at the game show are Sushil Kumar (Wrestler), Manoj Kumar (Wrestler), Jwala Gutta (Badminton), Sreesanth ( Cricketer), Ashwini Ponnapaa (Badminton) and none other than Leander Peas who is a self confessed Bachchan fan boastfully declaring that he has watched 'Sholay' a good 102 times exactly.

He was also not shy of holding him responsible for his own keen interest and subsequent entry into the glittering world of films.

Leander was seen at his flattering best and the Bachchan senior was unfazed by the flurry of praises on him and jokingly took them astride.

Peas who has married the model Rhea Pillai is all set to enter the dazzling filmy world with his upcoming film 'Rajdhani Express' and he has only one person to blame for making a debut in cinemas and that's none other than the superstar of the millennium Amitabh Bachchan.

Jwala tried to ape his height and sportingly stood beside his towering frame with Big B revealing the same problem at hand when it comes to his home front commenting on Jaya Bachchan who is as cute and petite beside her 6 foot tall husband.

Her father who nurtured his dream of meeting the man he admired and Big B obliged talking to him.

Sreesanth might go home happy earning praises for his dancing abilities from the superstar as all of them were taking part on the show to win a good amount of money for charity they would be giving away to Shri Shri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir Organization.

KBC has been always holding charity episodes for celebrities especially filmstars but it's the first time that our sporting stars have made it to the show.

So all we have to do is wait for 9 pm tomorrow when Big B welcomes the Sportspersons of the country to have a piece of the cake.

Golmaal 3: Rohit Shetty geared up to be third time lucky

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 12:37 PM PDT

Rohit Shetty, 'Golmaal'

Director Rohit Shetty is offering the laugh riot 'Golmaal 3' to the Diwali mood which is a continuation of the rib-tickling franchise and a star cast of equally crazy and talented actors.

The very magic that 'Golmaal' managed to create at the box office was followed by 'Golmaal Returns' and the makers as well as cast is convinced of striking the right cord with audience once again.

The lead actor Ajay Devgan is leaving no stones unturned for the promotion where he can be seen playing the funny man once again and her lady love Kareena is as curvy as ever in her tomboyish avtar this time.

Ajay claims the movie to be crazier than ever before and the producers Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision and the distributors Eros International have no qualms with a possible competition from Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai starrer 'Action Replayy'.

‘We would want both the films to do well. Of course we want our film to do little better, who wouldn’t? It is good for the industry that we have big releases coming together.’ said Devgn and the director reminded that both 'Fashion' and 'Golmaal Returns' had got their fair share of success last Diwali which has definitely been very fortunate for Shetty with both 'Golmaal' and its sequel doing wonders along with 'All The Best: Fun Begins'.

The element of comedy and action sequences remain a highlight of Rohit Shetty's films and this 40 crore mega movie is not far behind. Punch line goes that "this family eats together, prays together, lives together but ‘can’t stand each other’ since the siblings war is in full display.

Kareena can be seen riding bikes and mouthing some profanities unlike the 'serial-watcher' Ekta she played last time, Shreyas gets to stammer, Tussar does what he is best at…u guessed it right playing a dumb and Ajay comes back as a short-tempered guy this time.

The new additions to the cast are that of Kunal Khemu and funny man Johnny lever with their extremely talkative and a forgetful person's acts respectively.

With a promise of loads of comic moments, a completely mindless one at that but not the one to be cringed at is coming on a platter for the audience very soon.

All we have to do is take it as it comes be it the one in competition but the magic Rohit Shetty has been boasting of may not be just a bubble or that strong to go on. Let's just wait

Lam Kriyongh, the Thai Diwali has banana leaf lamps but Indian diwali is a confluence of Chinese lights

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 11:56 AM PDT

Diwali, Lam kriyongh, Chinese lights

In Thailand the festival of Diwali is called Lam kriyongh which is a celebration they perform with banana leaf lamps and candles set afloat in a river but the original counterpart of the festival of rows of lights that's 'Deepavali' we celebrated has been taken over by shiny and affordable Chinese bulbs and lights that have replaced the clay lamps that were the main attraction a few years back.

People meet each other with greeting and sweets in Thailand too. Actually the legend of Lord Rama returning from his exile of 14 years after getting back Sita and ridding the world of the Demon King Of Lanka with his younger brother Lakshman and the army of monkeys has its roots in the Thai culture too.

Thus Diwali when the people of Ayodhya welcome them back and it being a moonless night they put clay lamps everywhere so Thai people must have been following the custom too.

The lamp also signifies the light of inner knowledge and strength of character. In the physical world the burning of clay lamps kills unwanted flies that are aplenty in this season as the fumes of mustard oil works its wonders but the Indian market has been completely overtaken by the Chinese lights and no ones interested in the humble clay lamp which needs much tending to be kept lighted for a long time.

Chinese cloth lamps are a rage this time and are also pretty affordable. A confluence of such cheap alternatives in the form of floating candles have everyone mesmerized and eager to lap them up.

These are the biggest import of the season and the Chinese have every intention to just go ahead and capture it all with customized products especially for the Indian Diwali.

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 11:16 AM PDT

Aishwarya Rai birthday dinner

Pretty lady Aishwarya Rai Bachchan sure has a loving husband and family who had birthday dinner with her at Chinese in Taj Hotel where they had been to attend the Hello Hall of fame awards function on Sunday night.

Mom-in-law Jaya and Papa Bachchan along with sister-in-law Shweta and of course doting hubby Abhishek Bachchan made her special day memorable by spending quality time together as the actress turned 37 today.

Amitabh Bachchan's twitter entry read as, "Family dinner at Chinese in Taj where function was held … and brought in Aishwarya's birthday…good feel about the day."

Hubby made no attempt to conceal how happy he was as he posted their pair photo– a smiling Aishwarya clad in blue dress and mehandi adorning her hands with her chocolate cake and a dapper Junior Bachchan hugging her fondly.

Blessings from Big B were no less symbolic of how much he cherished her as a 'bahu' on his blog “It nears past midnight as we stroll out of the Hotel Taj and the wishes for Aishwarya start. Happy birthday daughter-in-law and may you achieve and get all that you so desire.”

She is one lucky lady with a family to be with her when she might be jittery with two upcoming releases this month 'Guzaarish' and 'Action Replayy' with terrific Hrithik Roshan and Akshay Kumar respectively.

Her last release with hubby was dud and she has many hopes pinned on these two films.

Cheers for her birthday and good wishes for her career too!!!

[Video] Bigg Boss 4: 28th Day Roundup

bigg boss

bigg boss

Abbas Kazmi, Begum Nawazish Ali, Sakshi Pradhan and Devinder Singh alias Bunty are gone and forgotten by them all currently in the Bigg Boss House.

Sara, the latest evictor too in fact is forgotten and that is the blunder we make in life too. We pose to remember people with us, we like them, we dislike them but above all we love ourselves most and that is the crux of the matter. Click here for Bigg boss 4 Tonight episode

Everyone in the Bigg Boss Season 4 House is selfish to an extent that he/ she can do anything to gain their personal favors and get things turned in their interest.

Monday is the day of nominations when every housemate of Bigg Boss House names a person whom he/ she want to be evicted and a reason for nominating him/ her. Sara is watching each and every activity from the secret room of the House and notices certain hard facts of life.

Dolly has still her regular routine of interrupting everyone, noticing everyone's activities and telling everyone what to do and what not to do. In a way she is right but too much of rightness is not good always. Being right you cannot ensure that you will be liked by everyone or nobody.

First there is a fight between Samir Soni and Dolly about the fruits rationing. Dolly says whatever you want to eat, you must inform housemates / kitchen captain/ House Captain but you must inform before picking up the fruit or for that sake any kitchen item.

Then there is a fight between Ashmit Patel and Manoj Tiwari over eggs. Bigg Boss announces that nominations are a genuine process and the rule of the game is that nobody has to discuss this with anyone else in the House.

Everyone is supposed to nominate a person without planning or planting an idea in anybody else's mind. Bigg Boss is annoyed that this has not happened in the House. There are housemates who have broken this rule, have decided on a name collectively and that is the reason that today's nomination process is cancelled.

But that is not end of story. Bigg Boss says that the people who have conspired, have been involved in plotting and have discussed names for nominations will be now nominated by Bigg Boss.

Eight housemates get nominated and the names of the nominated persons are –Shweta, Seema, Rahul, Aanchal, Hrishant, Veena and Manoj. Only persons left who have not conspired and plotted as per Bigg Boss are Dolly, Ashmit, Khali and Sameer.

Sara in any case is in secret room so she has nothing to do with the nominations for the time being.

Sara is watchful, especially about what Ashmit is doing. She catches some hot and spicy moments between Ashmit and Veena on her screen in the secret room through the camera. She is stunned or enjoying those moments, nobody knows as of now.

An announcement by Bigg Boss to Sara tells her to get back into the House in the night when everybody is asleep. That is what happened but did she get noticed by someone? Or someone saw her first sleeping in a bed in the House. Probably it is Shweta.

Aamir Khan to produce and star in Reema Kagti and Farhan Akhtar’s next

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 09:51 AM PDT

Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan is titled as the perfectionist Khan of Bollywood and there is a substantial reason to support this fact.

The cause he is referred this way is that when Aamir comes up with a film, it is not only a super entertainer but also the best on the block even at the box office.

After the record breaking success of 3 idiots Aamir has been getting a lot many offers but the actor is very distinct when it comes to picking a project and hence for this reason Aamir takes his very own time in selecting the scripts which he feels that will work well.

Buzz making rounds about Aamir's next movie is that the actor will be a part of Honeymoon Travels director, Reema Kagti's new project. The script of this next flick is being penned by Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar together.

The project is yet without a name however this film will have Aamir starring opposite two other female leads. The film is a complete suspense as of now as there are no major inputs about it but Aamir's presence is surely going to grab the much needed notice that any project can dream of.

The film will also be a joint production of Aamir's home production and also Excel Entertainment production under Aamir Khan and Ritesh Sidhwani. Farhan Akhtar highlighting about the new project informs that the script is thrilling and the concept of a joint venture will get the film a lot of success at the box office.

Aamir also confirmed the same and expressed his enthusiasm by saying, “I found this script, written by Reema and Zoya, really exciting and I am looking forward to working with Ritesh and Farhan once again.”

Amitabh Bachchan’s boosts up Gir sanctuary’s bookings

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:46 AM PDT

Amitabh

Amitabh

Amitabh Bachchan is all geared up for the promotion of Gujarat Tourism campaign and hence the roaring of lions in the background of the advertisement is turning out to be beneficial for the promotion of the Gir sanctuary.

The efforts of senior Bachchan are paying off so well that the sanctuary is totally booked by tourists who are willing to see the special spot as a part of the Indian travels.

Breaking the past fifteen year record the Gir Sanctuary is completely booked for the forth night part for the month of November that is till the 15th.

The Gir sanctuary abodes the worlds greatest species of lions that are the Asiatic lions and hence the publicity of this area by Amitabh Bachchan will help spread an awareness about this depleting specie and also serve as a way to raise funds for the benefits of there upkeep in this abode.

The sanctuary came back into presence after it was reopened on the 15th of October that is last month and after the reopening the sanctuary faces daily issuance of 70 to 80 permits at an average each day.

Now the case is that the casual permits have surpassed bookings and are overbooked while the special area Sinh Sadan is absolutely out of question with no place at all left.

According to officials of the sanctuary within the ninety permits that are given out regularly almost 50 percent are booked in advance.

The over booking has  now given way to post 15th November bookings as no slot is empty until that date.

Leaving out a few VIP rooms in the special zone of Sinh Sadan the rest rooms are booked already.

Bigg Boss 4: Time for Dolly and Manoj to show their true colors

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:34 AM PDT

The confrontation between Manoj Tiwary and Dolly, the current Kitchen Captain right at the breakfast table early in the morning on Bigg Boss may just be the preamble to a greater conflict.

Dolly is all geared up to take everyone who comes up to question her for a ride of obscenities and loud-mouthed lecture complete with gesticulations.

Manoj Tiwary is in no mood to back out too. He made no attempt to give in when Dolly asked him to consider and have leftover food first and then go for the regular stuff.

The flurry of words exchanged were interesting too. Manoj saying, “Kitchen kisi ke baap ka nahi hai” and Dolly answering “Baap pe Jaana Nahi” is definitely aimed at grabbing headlines.

Ashmit Patel and Veena Malik are busy putting up their lovers lost in their own sweet world making no attempt to get the conflict resolved.

They are up to the lovers act pretty predictably now and the stage has even come to the stage when Veena can seen blushing when Sameer asked about their relationship. Oh so very predictable!

Allegations, bad behavior and the tussle for kitchen dominance are very much predominant and the vicious ones are enjoying making the meek ones scapegoats.

Sara is out there watching them all from a special room and the housemates are very much aware of it too.

Next came the surprise announcement from Bigg Boss and the very raw Dolly gets saved by this.

All had resolved to nominate Dolly but the game took a turn with new combination of plotting and manipulative planning against the new rule Bigg Boss seems to come up with.

Again Dolly gets to display her art of shouting and use of choicest kind of words when Sameer asks about the rationing of fruits while Manoj is still arguing on the matter of Dolly getting to control the kitchen without others being convinced with her dominance.

Thus there's no doubt that a good dose of tussle, allegations, gloomy atmoshphere and a huge battle for food is very much in the offing.

Bigg Boss house is till now going very much on the predictable lines and the season 4 is getting as bad as ever.

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 03:30 AM PDT

Dusky Bengali girl gets to play the Maratha warrior girl 'Taluja', the bodyguard to a queen in the next venture by Roland Joffe, 'Singularity'.

The film is to be shot in India and Australia with Bipasha and Abhay Deol to act in this epic movie of a love story spanning two continents and is two time periods long.

Its not any trashy role that has been offered to Bips as she informs that her character is pretty significant in the sequence of events in the movie and not just a small forgettable part.

That makes the sexy Bipasha to be the very first actress to have bagged a good substantial role to play in a Hollywood movie and not the flashingly passing negative role of Aishwarya Rai in 'Pink Panther 2' or even worse the one Mallika got in 'Myth' which was not even worth the effort. She made a lot of noise about it though.

The story is that of the first time period consisting of a British army officer in colonial India while the one involving Australia is that of American marine biologist who finds himself inside a British Merchant ship that had wrecked long ago and he is somehow unable to get out of it.

Roland Joffe of 'City of Joy' and 'Killing Fields' fame has given Bipasha just 8 days to get prepared for the character of a warrior named 'Taluja' who is a consort and bodyguard of the queen.

The rest of the cast includes Chris Pine, Josh Harnett and Olga Kurylenko and James Steward played by Jash Harnett falls in love with 'Taluja' in the movie.

In the first part of the schedule for the movie 'Singularity' which is set to release in 2011 will have an India set being erected in Australia and Bipasha is on her way already.

She has got her opportunity to make it big with a full-fledged International movie under the mantle of Roland Joffe who commands much respect and a good name in Hollywood.

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 02:35 AM PDT

Sexy as ever and pretty curvaceous Kareena Kapoor makes a cute pair with funny man Ajay Devgan on the November issue cover of the Filmfare magazine.

They are all set for the Diwali release of the much awaited Golmaal 3 and are busy promoting the movie in every way possible.

The Filmfare magazine has been catering to the gossip and news related to films and the very interesting filmstars of our Hindi film Industry since ages and this time the issue carries the Chubby Kareena dangling on a ladder with handsome hunk Ajay Devgan holding them up.

The chutzpah with which Ajay Devgan has played his funny act in the previous offerings of the Golmaal series expectations are sky high the third time around with Kareena keeping him company again though in a different avatar this time.

She gets to utter some obscenities with funny connotations this time along with a tomboyish act on display while she was playing a behenji type role of a 'suspicious, serial-monger wife' in the previous one.

The Rohit Shetty's directorial offering is definitely going to be a laugh riot with Ajay at his roguish best.

Some pages in the magazine carry her views on the tomboy act she did in the movie complete with riding a bike and all but the main issue is the former size-zero enthusiast getting back to her chubby self and even loving it.

The magazine is not all about the 'Golmaal' they are upto but also what Aamir shares about his 'Dhobi Ghaat' and the very intriguing feature on Bipasha Basu who can never pardon a cheating man saying a big NO to infidelity.

Filmfare November issue promises to be as chirpy as its cover which has a mini-skirted Kareena in designer shoes being dangled on a ladder by the irresistibly cool Ajay Devgan who's getting better all the time.

November 1st denotes the day Kerala came into being as a state after combining three independent provinces of Malabar, Travancore and Cochin in 1956 and since then the day has been celebrated as 'Kerala Piravi Dinum' by the people of the land.

Kerala was born this day after almost 9 years of independence of the country from British Rule and Keralites are more than happy commemorating the day their state was born. The name 'Kerala Piravi' means the day Kerala was born on this earth in the native language of Kerala ie Malayalam.

This is the 54th anniversary of the Kerala Piravi Dinum so the special day is inviting much fanfare from the Keralites all over the world. The name of state came from the very common fruit that grows in abundance in Kerala, the coconut. 'Kera' means coconut and 'alam' means land or location.

The legend associated with the origin of the place is that of the sixth reincarnation of Lord Vishnu, Parashurama, who used his 'parshu' or 'axe' he used to win battles with to make a crater in the sea near Kanyakumari so a land rose out of the sea with a geography so different with waters of the sea coming in, this land is called as Kerala.

KDMC Elections: Mumbai’s Twin City Elections Over, Counting On

Reports are that the number of voters would have been much higher than this and would have crossed 50 percent but due to the festive season around the elections, most of the people would have preferred decorating their homes and go for shopping than participating in elections for voting.

The counting for results of these two city's assembly elections has started on Monday at Sports Complex in Dombivli.

In the first phase of counting that is by noon of Monday, 56 constituencies' results will be declared and by the end of the day the result of the rest of 51 assembly seats shall be out.

Monikangana Dutta

Dusky damsel Monikangana Dutta has her career flying these days with a dream debut as the love interest of none other than hunky Hrithik Roshan in the upcoming "Guzarish" by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and now reports of her being selected as Victoria's Secrets Angel is definitely taking her to a new high.

The sexy ex-model has been working with the fashion industry since her debut in Paris and has graced the covers of Elle and Vogue too. Now the high end lingerie brand has her as the very first Indian to have got the honor to be ranked among Alessandra Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr as one of the six angels of Victoria's Secret.

The north-east beauty has made it big in the modeling world already and with the film career flying high she is the lucky one to be the only actor to have signed a two-film deal with the very unpredictable Bhansali.

She was kept under wraps and with reports of her steamy scenes with the very delectable Hrithik Roshan has generated much interest about her role in the media.

The song 'Tera Zikr' features Monikangana playing Hrithik's love interest as well as being the assistant who helps him perform the magic tricks on the stage with much ease. The highlight of the film is very much on them too though none of them are commenting on the much awaited sizzling chemistry and the ethereal feel generated in the song itself.

With a dream debut with established co-stars like Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai was too much to keep her happy though being selected as the Victoria's Secret Angel is the topping on the cake.
