Source: Google News India - Entertainment | 7 Jun 2009 | 12:26 am Wishing Amrita Rao a very happy Birthday
Once a poet said that 'If the world was ever enveloped by darkness, I will simply tell an innocent girl to smile, for her mere smile is enough to fully illuminate the world!' We are very sure of the fact that the poet surely must have had Birthday-girl Amrita Rao (7th Juneâ 2009) in mind, whilst coming up with these golden words. Amrita, for starters, is what one would like to call as the apt fitting synonym to the words 'innocence' and 'purity'.
Having made her debut in a forgettable flick called Ab Ke Baras, Amrita has indeed come a long way with an array of hits tucked under her belt, courtesy her superlative acting in films like Main Hoon Na, Welcome To Sajjanpur, My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves, Vivaah, Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi, Masti, Ishq Vishk, Victory etc⦠The success meter of her acting skills lies in the fact that she has managed to successfully carve an irreplaceable niche for herself (and that too without any proverbial Godfather) in an industry where only Godfathers' prodigies reign supreme.

After shaking and shocking the audiences with his films like Dev D and Black Friday, Anurag Kashyap is now all set to appear on television as a host with 'True Stories', a show that explores the real life inspiration that went behind the making of legendary films like James Bond, Indiana Jones etc. The show will be aired on 'Fox History and Entertainment channel.'
A self confessed Hollywood film buff, Anurag said that the show will have him sharing interesting trivia and information about the thespian directors like Brian De Palma, Clint Eastwood etc. An ecstatic Anurag also said that he was always mesmerized by the stories of the real-life characters which have been a source of inspiration to films' heroes.
As far his acting skills go, Anurag did manage to impress the audiences with his cameo role as the script writer in Luck By Chance. What remains to be seen however, is whether he'll manage to charm the audiences yet again as a TV show host.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 6 Jun 2009 | 3:23 pm Nandana Sen signs up as an ambassador for NGO RAHI
Nandana Sen is doing her bit towards charity. She has now been signed up as the Cause Ambassador for an NGO called RAHI (Recovery and Healing from Incest). She will be in charge of raising awareness of the widespread trauma of child abuse, and working with its survivors.
Talking about her 'role' in this association, she said, ''Healing is often harder for men than it is for women. For males, the biggest obstacle is their reluctance to talk about it. In our society, men have been conditioned to believe by definition that they must always be aggressive rather than helpless. Since a 'real' man is expected to never accept he could be a 'victim,' men fear that acknowledging their trauma would threaten their masculinity.''
She also exhibited her stand on the dreaded issue of 'incest' by stating that the hiding the pain of the victims' abuse often leads to male survivors experiencing great confusion over their sexual identities and orientation. She added that, ''Some survivors become intolerably homophobic and some unhealthily aggressive. Disastrously, masculinity and power often get confused with abusiveness. For both men and women, the first step towards healing is breaking the silence about their abuse."
For starters, she has just wrapped up a UNIFEM-sponsored short film called Chuppee, which deals with the subject of the sensitive topic of child sexual abuse.
Way to go, Nandana.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 6 Jun 2009 | 3:15 pm Strike over, multiplex' in two minds over telecasting T20 matchesA slew of Bollywood biggies are lined up for release with the row between producers and multiplex owners having ended.Source: Entertainment News | 6 Jun 2009 | 2:44 pm Shahid wants Priyanka instead of Genelia in Ken Ghosh's film?
Barely has the dust settled down around Genelia D'Souza replacing Jiah Khan in this light hearted musical entertainer (which was rumoured to be titled Yahoo for last few months), that another chapter has opened up for the film. Apparently, Shahid is upset with director Ken Ghosh's selection of heroine and wanted his 'good friend' Priyanka Chopra to be paired opposite him in the film.
"Wow, it's amazing how imaginative people can get", says Ken, in an amused tone, "Now they are saying that Shahid is upset with me and the whole world because Priyanka is not the heroine opposite him. First there were rumours around the film's title being Yahoo, and then came the entire so-called controversy around Jiah being replaced with Genelia and now Priyanka Chopra. What's going to be next is what I wish to know!"
On the contrary, Ken Ghosh is ecstatic with the way shooting has progressed so for with both Shahid Kapoor and Genelia D'Souza. Says Ken, who has earlier directed Shahid in teen rom-com Ishk Vishk and romantic thriller Fida, "In the times when we are searching for that quintessential romantic 'jodi' in Bollywood, Shahid-Genelia may well fill in the void. They both really complement each other quite well. Fingers crossed."
Even though Ken is mighty excited about the newest romantic 'jodi' to have hit the town, rumor mongers are having a field day. As per them, Shahid has become completely incommunicado on the sets of the film and is sulking away due to Priyanka not being roped in. Moreover, due to this behaviour of Shahid, Genelia is feeling left out on the sets of the film and is quite disappointed about the entire affair.
"Please come over to the sets and be a witness to the kind of fun that we are having during our shoot", Ken sets the record straight, "Sorry to disappoint those who wish ill-will for the film and us but the fact remains that Shahid, Genelia and myself are the awesome threesome. We are having a blast on the sets."
So how has his experience been when it comes to the first time pairing of Shahid and Genelia? "I am very happy that Genelia came on board and Shahid too is equally glad", states Ken, "As I have stated earlier as well, the female character had changed and there was a certain energy I was expecting from my new leading lady. Honestly, I
am getting that all from Genelia since she has caught the nuances of her character so well. Genelia is right up there. Period."
However, with insinuations that Shahid's heart continues to beat for Priyanka both on and off the sets, one looks forward to how this story further shapes up eventually. Even though one thought that the chapter was closed when it came to casting hassles for this Ken Ghosh film, it seems that there would still be some more time before that actually happens.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 6 Jun 2009 | 2:36 pm Deepa Mehta is excited about daughter's 'mixed' weddingThere is a big fat wedding waiting to happen at filmmaker Deepa Mehta's country villa in Canada.Source: Entertainment News | 6 Jun 2009 | 2:13 pm
