Wishing Juhi Chawla a Very Happy Birthday

She is the original 'bubbly' girl who can even give effervescence an inferiority complex, with her most endearing smile. She is none other than Juhi Chawla, today's Birthday Girl. This cutie made her dream debut with the smash hit Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, and with this very film itself, she became the dream of every cinegoer! During her heydays, her mere name in the film was good (read 'best') enough for the theater owners to laugh all the way till the bank. Even though she has bid adieu to Bollywood (thanks to her marriage to the suave business magnate Jay Mehta), the cine goers just do not seem to be in a mood to see her off Bollywood! Maybe that explains the reasons why she was recently seen (in prominent roles as ever) in films like Bhootnath, Kismat Konnection, Krazzy 4 etc... People...please join us and put your hands together as Bollywood Hungama wishes this once-in-a lifetime-Angel Juhi Chawla a very Happy Birthday, by posting your birthday wishes below:

Payal Rohatgi does a 'Kajrare' in Dil Kabaddi?

Payal 'Big Boss' Rohatgi just couldn't have got the timing better. On one hand, she is shown 'all live' from the house of the famous reality show 'Big Boss', and on the other hand, she is playing a 'full of life' yoga instructor in her forthcoming film Dil Kabaddi. Payal, who is a self-confessed big fan of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, breaks into the famous 'Kajrare' mode from Bunty Aur Babli, in Dil Kabaddi. And guess who is she trying to impress this time? Well, it's none other than Irrfan Khan, with whom she is having an extra marital affair in the film! Speaking about the song, Anil Senior, the debutant director of Dil Kabbadi, says, "Irrfan and Payal play games in bedroom and have role plays. We wanted sequences or acts that audience could identify with and 'Kajrare' won hands down". Adds Payal, "I was extremely excited for this song called 'Good Night'. This song will show me sporting different looks and one of the look is where I do the 'mujra' act. It is very special to me as my entire look is very different to what I have ever looked till now. My outfit is similar to that of Aishwarya's in the 'Kajrare' song. I really enjoyed doing the song with Irrfan Sir. He dances really well and has added the required humour to the song. I love my look...hope the audiences like me too.'' Let's see if the Payal manages to re-create the magic of 'Kajrare' in Dil Kabaddi

Sonu Sood as a dwarf in Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge

The year 2008 has been good for Sonu Sood. After having started the year playing 'Rajkumar Sujamal' in Ashutosh Gowarikar's epic flick Jodhaa Akbar, Sonu went on to play the comical 'King' in Vipul Shah's blockbuster Singh Is Kinng. Now the actor is currently basking in all the appreciation coming his way for his portrayal of 'Prem' in the recently released Rajshri's Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi. Sonu, who has slowly but steadily made his mark as a dependable actor, is now looking forward to doing more different and challenging roles; And in his next film Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge, produced by UTV Motion Pictures, Sonu is doing exactly that. The film has Sonu playing 11 different characters ranging from SRK's 'Raj' in DDLJ to even Mr. Bachchan's 'Vijay' in Deewar. However, this time the tall actor who bears an uncanny resemblance to Big B is seen playing a dwarf in Big B's famous Deewar get up. Bollywood Hungama quizzed Sonu on whether it is a spoof on Bachchan saab's famous character, "No its not a spoof of Mr.Bachchan's character. I play an actor in the film and my director Umesh came up with this wacky idea of me playing a dwarf for one of the characters. It was fun yet challenging playing the role of a dwarf" Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge takes a hilarious look at the happenings in the film industry and stars Paresh Rawal, Sonu Sood, Kunal Khemu and Soha Ali Khan in lead roles. The film is directed by debutant Umesh Shukla and is slated to release in January 2009.
