Katrina, who?

Mar 18, 2008

Okay, let's believe her for once. Katrina Kaif is getting all her films purely on the basis of her talent. And she has nothing to do with Salman Khan. Yes, that's what she is going around telling everyone. These days Katrina is on an...

In Huma(n) Act

Mar 06, 2008

Frankly speaking, I don't know Huma Khan personally and after what she did to her 12-year-old maid in Pune, I really don't want to know her either. I remember her as Laxmikant Berde's love interest in Sooraj Barjatiya's Maine...

Here's FIGHTER KUMAR

Feb 29, 2008

Very few people know that when Akshay Kumar decided to become an actor, he started his career with Rs 11,000. And now the actor demands Rs 22 crore for a film. He reminds me of the famous slow but steady tortoise.

Hrithik reigns supreme

Feb 15, 2008

Just Not Don (e)!

Feb 08, 2008

It scares me…. And they call them buddies. I am talking about the underworld connection that most of the Bollywood celebrities have. While some flaunt, others don’t.

Is Saif playing it safe?

Jan 31, 2008

If you have it, you flaunt it. Well, I am not talking about the overdose of six-pack abs which most of the Bollywood actors are obsessed with. Here, I am talking about ‘love’. Needless to say most of the stars believe in talking...

The dirty truth about film contracts

Dec 13, 2007

Now, this is becoming funnier by the day. Recently I read a report in a tabloid that Salman Khan has denied a 100 crore deal which was offered by Zee Telefilms for a three film contract. I have been reading and (unfortunately) even writing about...

How is Shahid handling the break-up?

Nov 07, 2007

Even as I watched Jab We Met, it was becoming difficult for me to believe that Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor were no more a couple. People might just see it as another 'split' story in the tinsel town, but the fact remains that...

Shade card of journalism

Oct 08, 2007

Since the time I stepped into tabloid journalism, I effortlessly acquired this weapon called 'source'. Frankly speaking, this is something, which makes our life easy. I mean who doesn't want to get 'it' easy? File anything...
