Salman Khan is always famous for his bad works. He is always in the media headlines for doing this bad work that bad work. Even, he was on the verge of going to prison for sometime. Salman Khan is also famous for having numerous girl friends. I guess no other Bollywood actor could change so many GFs like Salman Khan. So, I am simply shocked to see that Salman Khan is opening an NGO to help poor people. Salman Khan Foundation is its name and helping the people in distress will be its game and it may bring Salman Khan some good fame.

Salman has applied for the registration of an NGO called the Salman Khan Foundation, which will render support to the poor and needy masses. He decided to throw light on his cause in a special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 3. Hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, the episode was shot recently with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif on the hot seats. It is speculated that the duo have won a prize amount of Rs. 50 lakh on the particular show, which they will forward to the Salman Khan Foundation.

So, what next from Salman? May be a new girl friend? He is with Katrina Kaif for a long time. Will he get settled this time?

Juhi Chawla has passed her prime as a Bollywood actress. Can you remember when it was the last time that one movie of Juhi Chawla created a storm on the box office! She is still beautiful and skilled actress. I also like Juhi Chawla because she never tried to attract viewers with short dress. Now, she is trying a different thing- singing. Yes, Juhi Chawla has a nice voice and if I would not mind to listen to her songs.

Indiafm reported:

Juhi Chawla, who played a mellow wife to Anil Kapoor in Salaam-E-Ishq, is now set to up the pace of her Bollywood career. She will be seen in Vivek Sharma’s Bhootnath in 2007. But this time, it is not just her acting skills that she will employ. The lovely actress is also trying her hand at playback singing for the first time!

So, best of luck to Juhi.

Sushmita Sen is now one of the top Bollywood actresses. However, she was a talented supermodel and she is natural at fashion shows. She has again amazed the viewers by walking down the ramp recently.

Sahara Samay reported:

Actor Sushmita Sen made a comeback on the ramp as she gracefully walked down with daughter Renee to display Bollywood designer Neeta Lulla’s collection at the Lakme Fashion Week.

It was Neeta Lulla’s debut at the Fashion Week. “There is a sense of happiness, not really relief…I wouldn’t call it relief, but yes, I am happy,” Neeta said after her collection was displayed.

Sushmita Sen is not at her best in Bollywood now. May be she can shine more in modeling.

Zee Cine Awards 2007 is going to take place in Genting of Malaysia. Leading figures from Bollywood are going to be there. This program is going to be broadcast in India and millions of people will watch it.

Filmmaker Karan Johar is slated to host the evening’s proceedings along with actor Saif Ali Khan, who will be accompanied by actors Urmila Matondkar and Shilpa Shetty, recently back from her UK Big Brother sojourn.

Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta- these are just some of the Bollywood figures that are expected to entertain the viewers in Zee Cine Awards 2007.

Vikram Motwane is a new director. It is not that he is totally new in Bollywood but he is making his debut as a director soon. For his first movie, he has selected John Abraham and Vidya Balan as the leading performers. This is a good screen couple and they are have done well in Salam-E-Ishq.

Nikhil Kumar wrote:

The simmering, scintillating chemistry between John and Vidya was quite visible in Nikhil Advani’s movie Salaam-e-Ishq . Although the movie flopped at the box-office, John and Vidya arguably were the most passionate couple in the film.

Now, an upcoming filmmaker wants to make his directorial debut with a film starring John and Vidya in romantic roles. Vikram Motwane has been an assistant of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and has worked as choreographer in Deepa Mehta’s film Water .

Vidya Balan is moving fast and she has been able to make a distinct place for herself in the mind of Bollywood fans.

Preity Zinta is now under fire from Suchitra Krishnamoorthy. Suchitra Krishnamoorthy has accused that Preity Zinta had an affair with her former husband Shekhar Kapoor and it caused her marriage to fall apart.

Here is an excerpt of an interview:

Tell us about that ‘maneater’ you referred to in a poem on your blog, the one who came between you and Shekhar. Is it Preity Zinta?

What do you think?

I am not sure.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.

Preity said in a recent interview that you weren’t talking about her.

She can say what she wants. If she thinks it’s not her and that I am wrong, she should sue me. And I will be delighted. My best friends are lawyers. I am not scared.

I think that says it all.

Yes.

Have you met Preity recently?

Why should I? She called me and asked why I was slurring her reputation. She even told me that she was getting married and that Shekhar has promised to give her away (a bride is given away by her father in Christian weddings).

How dare she call me? She dare not call me again. Stay out of my space. My home is sacred.

If the accusation is true then it is very bad for Preity Zinta. It will not do any good to her trying to become the leading Bollywood actress.

Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) and Priety Zinta are among the top performers in Bollywood. Shahrukh Khan is a veteran actor but still he is very popular and he is acting with all the leading female actresses.

Vimla Patil wrote:

SRK reminds fans that he has starred with Kajol, Rani Mukherjee, Preity Zinta, Madhuri Dikshit, Priyanka Chopra, Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Manisha Koirala, Twinkle Khanna, Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Rimii Sen, Juhi Chawla, Shilpa Shetty, Gayatri Joshi and every other heroine – except Mallika Sherawat – worth her name in Bollywood.

On the other hand, Priety Zinta is also in Bollywood for quite sometime. She has some great hit movies and she has acted with almost all the top male Bollywood actors.

Vimla also wrote:

Amdist female stars, Preity Zinta holds the record of working with Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Govinda, Arjun Rampal, Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Chandrachur Singh and every other hero who is touching the top rung of the success ladder.

I guess that the days for Shah Rukh Khan are going to be numbered as the top male actor. Priety can hope of staying in the top level for sometime more.

India eNews has an interesting report about top figures in Bollywood liking to have wicked roles in Bollywood movies. Many top names are enjoying the idea of being bad in the movie.

The report stated:

Being wicked is again cool in Bollywood. It’s the snowball effect after Saif Ali Khan in ‘Omkara’ and Hrithik Roshan in ‘Dhoom 2′, and everybody, from Naseeruddin Shah and Amitabh Bachchan to Bobby Deol and Viveik Oberoi are joining in.

Innocent-faced Sammir Dattani plays a ruthlessly ambitious politician in Vikram Bhatt’s ‘Life Mein Kabhi Kabhie’.

‘I really enjoyed going grey in ‘Life Mein Kabhi Kabhie’. It gave me a chance to do things which I wouldn’t dream of doing in real life,’ Sammir told IANS.

‘Being ruthlessly ambitious doesn’t come naturally to me. But even Abhishek (Bachchan) played a guy who thinks the end justifies the means in ‘Guru’. I guess we’re in for a time when morals are no longer that sharp-focussed,’ he added.

All the actors and actresses are getting bored to be the good guy in the movies. Many of them are no where near to the roles they portray in the movie. So, may be, they are enjoying to have roles nearer to their real life.

Bollywood movies are going places and so too the Bollywood awards. It is time for Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards and it is taking place in Leeds of UK. This award ceremony is expected to attract nearly 28,000 visitors- a good thing from the tourism prospect too.

Mr Bachchan said the film community was looking forward to the awards in July.

He said: “It is an event that we all look forward to, it gives an opportunity for the entire film fraternity to collect in one place over a certain period of time.

Many people from India and other South Asian countries are in Britain. So, this kind of award will create a lot of interest among them too.
