When Sanjay and Zarine Khan watched their son Zayed do those never-before heart-in-the-mouth motorcycle stunts in Blue, they threw a royal fit. Ever since his near-fatal fire accident in 1989 in Mysore during the shooting of the serial 'The Sword Of Tipu Sultan' during which Sanjay Khan suffered extensive burns and almost lost his life, both he and his wife are paranoid about shooting mishaps.
When their only son Zayed decided to become a movie actor, Sanjay and Zarine's first and only pre-condition was no dangerous stunts. Says Zayed, "It was almost like a holy diktat, not to perform anything that would potentially harmful to me."
Until Blue, where, on the script level itself, Zayed could see that his two lengthy mo'bike chase sequences on the 'Ducati 999' were potentially more lethal than anything the average action hero performs.
Says Zayed, "I had two options. Either say no to the most exciting role I had been offered so far. Or hide the truth from my parents."
Zayed chose the latter option. And went on to do the most explosive mo'bike stunts with his heart in his mouth. "Not because I was scared but what would my parents think and say when they saw what I had done."
When Sanjay and Zarine Khan saw Blue, their reaction was worse than what Zayed had anticipated.
Zayed's parents were distraught. Their horror mounted as the couple saw their son whiz past the most dangerous check posts ever created for a stunt actor.
Says Zayed, "When I saw their reaction, I had to do some quick thinking or else my parents would have truly freaked out and probably ordered me to give up movies. My helmet which covered my face through most of the mo'bike racing saved me. I told them it was a body-double doing those stunts."
The fact is Zayed did most of the action scenes. "Am I some kind of a sissy to let a stuntman do them? No way! I had accepted the role only so I could do these stunts. Except the moment when my bike jumps on to a train, all the other stunts are mine. And that train stunt, I didn't do because my action director said he wanted me to be alive to complete the film."
After reading this, Zayed hopes his parents would accept the truth. "If you are an actor you got to do it all. One can be wounded even while standing under a roof. Jo hona hoga woh hoga."Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 26 Oct 2009 | 6:34 am Live Chat: Jacqueline Fernandes Oct 27 at 1600 hrs IST
The general trend is that 'In order to get a 'visa' in Bollywood, one needs to get the 'passport' of being a Miss India. Well, here is a girl named Jacqueline Fernandes, who has a different story to tell. She may not be a Miss India, but a Miss Sri Lanka to her credit. Hailing from Sri Lanka, it becomes truly needless to say that she is astonishingly gorgeous and the ultimate word in beauty.
And the good news is that this heavenly beauty is all set to capture the silver screen with her golden presence in the much anticipated fairy-tale romantic caper called Aladin. Hers is a debut film which one can only dream of. The reason? Well, how many debutantes get a chance to have the 'Shahenshah' of Bollywood and the multi-talented Riteish Deshmukh as their co-stars! But the lucky Jacqueline has just managed that. Well, the good news is that you can be just as lucky as Bollywood Hungama brings to you a never-before chance to get up, close and personal with the girl, whom Aladin is mad about!

It was indeed the perfect way to start the week for Sonu Sood as early this morning he got the good news that he has won the Nandi Award for Best Villain for his role in the Telugu blockbuster Arundhati. The Nandi Awards are extremely popular down South and its no wonder then that Sonu is elated at bagging this honour.
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Sonu said, "Bagging this award is really a dream come true for me. I have heard a lot of actors from the South dreaming about winning one Nandi award during their entire career and for me to bag this award and that too at an early stage of my career is a very special feeling. I am really excited and my phone hasn't stopped ringing ever since the results were announced this morning. Now, I can't wait to receive the award when the ceremony is held sometime in December at Hyderabad."
When we asked him a bit about his role in Arundhati, Sonu said, "I play a ghost in the film. It's the character of a guy who is killed and how he returns back to seek revenge. I sport different looks in the film and I had to undergo nearly 6 -7 hours of make-up sessions at times to get the right look for the character. But now, after the super success of the film, I feel that it has indeed been worth it."
Arundhati, which went on to become a huge hit down South (both commercially and critically), is now being remade in Hindi and Yes...Sonu stars in the Hindi version too. "Yes, we are remaking the film in Hindi too. We plan to start shooting sometime in January next year as I am currently busy with Arbaaz Khan's first production Dabang", signs off Sonu.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 26 Oct 2009 | 5:12 am Star power at Sanjana's show causes chaos
