Wishing Shah Rukh Khan a Very Happy Birthday

Some of the world famous abbreviations are VIP: Very Important Person, CBI: Central Bureau of Investigation, UFO: Unidentified Flying Object, AIR: All India Radio, FIR: First Information Report, to name a few. But the abbreviation that not just precedes but also supercedes them all is 'SRK'...yes... our very own SRK- Shah Rukh Khan. Here is a man who celebrates his birthday in style on November 2, and has every reason to do so, for he came to Bollywood with no 'famous surname' but worked his way through and made his surname topping all the existing ones!

Wishing Esha Deol a Very Happy Birthday

Few years ago, on November 2, a cute looking baby girl was born to two superstars Dharmendra and Hema Malini. As years passed by, this baby girl grew up to become one of the young, hot-n-happening actresses in Bollywood. We are talking about none other than Esha Deol, who turns a year older on November 2. While her debut flick, Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe, failed to arouse interest, Esha didn't lose heart and instead bounced back with a bang with Yash Raj Films' Dhoom. Ever since then, Esha has slowly but steadily made a mark for herself through films like Dus, No Entry and Yuva, to mention a few. This gorgeous girl is not just a talented actress but also a trained Bharatnatyam dancer. As Esha celebrates her birthday, Bollywood Hungama gives you all a chance to wish this actress on her special day. So what are you waiting for? Just go ahead and post your best wishes for Esha 'Darling' in the comments section below.

E! News lists John Abraham amongst the Top 10 Sexiest Men in the world

Download image as wallpaper John Abraham is surely having the time of his life. While girls all over the country can't stop drooling over his chiseled physique in the promos of Dostana , the actor has even managed to gain some popularity overseas. John is the only Indian to feature in the '25 Sexiest Men' list compiled by E! News. What's more in a special episode of the 'Sexiest Men' series, John has even made it to the elite Top 10 club where he features alongside soccer star David Beckham, actor Johnny Depp, rugby union footballer Dan Carter and Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers who starred in Bend it Like Beckham. John, who is currently shooting in USA for YRF's New York, said he attributes his selection in this list to the kind of films and commercial endorsements that he has done, his ever-growing international fan base and the love for his craft. John is still not used to all the public attention and says modestly, "When people tell me I'm good-looking, my immediate reaction is to wonder if they mean it. So I just smile. At times it becomes uncomfortable, but I appreciate the compliment." E! Entertainment Television, which is one of the most widely viewed networks around the world, has covered the entire globe searching for the sexiest, hottest, beach bound hard-bodies; delicious hunks that can melt women with their voice and crush them with their sizzling sex appeal. John having made it to the Top 10 of the 'Sexiest Men in the World' list indeed says a lot about his sex-appeal. Way to go Johnny Boy!!!

"Fashion has taken opening on the basis of one heroine's presence" - Priyanka

Download image as wallpaper At Fame Adlabs on Wednesday afternoon when Priyanka Chopra walked the ramp for the last time in Fashion she got a standing ovation. And the one to get the most emotionally moved was her dad. Watching Priyanka Chopra play the small-town girl who leaves home to become a model in the metropolis was a deeply emotional experience for Dr Ashok Chopra. Says Priyanka, "He just broke down. Watching my character Meghna in Fashion, he saw his little girl from Jamshedpur going all the way to Mumbai to become Miss World. In fact, his sense of identification with that whole portion in Chandigarh where I'm this plump Punjabi girl leading a sheltered life with her parents, was very deep," says Priyanka from Dubai where she attended the Fashion premiere on Thursday night. "I identified deeply with those scenes where my character is trying to find her way in Mumbai. The only difference is my character Meghna knows exactly where she was going. I had no clue. Also, my dad never stopped me from pursuing my dreams. He was concerned, yes. But never disapproving like Meghna's father. In fact, my dad moved to Mumbai to be with me when I decided to move to Mumbai." Days after the film's release, there's a sense of outrage about the fashion industry being shown as a place of constant undercutting and heartbreak. Protests Priyanka, "It's like that in any competitive field. We slogged hard on the research. Madhur and I gave our life and blood to the film. I was in discussions over the script with Madhur for five months before I said yes to Fashion." Priyanka wore a short dress a Gavin Miguel for the Dubai festival. Some cast members of Do Knot Disturb who were shooting in Dubai came for the premiere. Says Priyanka, "We had David Dhawan, Lara Dutta and Riteish who were shooting in Dubai. Then we had the royalty from Dubai. Earlier we had a special screening of Fashion for the modeling world in Mumbai. I had a ball catching up with the old times, screaming and shouting. The best thing is that the fashion industry supported us in such a big way. But people from the fashion industry love Fashion. We've definitely taken real-life incidents from the ramp. Even the wardrobe malfunction scene is so poignant. The designers, models, choreographers...they were all supportive." Carol Gracias whose wardrobe malfunction scene has been taken in Fashion, saw the film. "She loved the film. Carol thought it's very classily done," says Priyanka. "The coolest thing is that my film has taken an initial opening on the basis of one heroine's presence (me). That surprises me because that goes against the rules of the film industry."
