Where most of the actresses are following Kareena Kapoor’s foot steps to make zero size figure there Deepika Padukone is just showing opposite mentality. In a statement she says that she does not believe in size zero. She also says that this type of figure does not mean Indian body. That does not mean she wanted to get some media publicity with an argumentative statement. She is already blessed with good figure. Deepika Padukone, who was the show stopper for designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil’s show at the Lakme Fashion Week on Sunday, said:

“Correct me if I am wrong, but I personally feel that the Indian body type is not cut out to be size zero. I am not size zero and I don’t believe in that either,”

Deepika Padukone also said that an actress gets a role for her performance not the body type.

It is true that creativity gets much importance than body shape when it comes to select an actress for a particular character. At the same time, I also have to say that if any actress put some weight then she has less possibility to get chance in a film to act in a lead role. One important thing has been revealed by her is that getting contribution through performance is much important then body shape.

One of the famous matrimonial sites, shaadi.com, conducted a survey where Bollywood actress Kajol was voted as the favorite ‘bahu’. In this survey, 250,000 women took part and voted for their favorite ‘daughter-in-laws’. Shaadi.com conducted this poll to celebrate the upcoming International Women’s Day. However, Kajol was chosen as the favourite Bollywood daughter-in-law by 43.08 percent women. To be a favorite Bollywood daughter-in-law, she had to compete with Aishwarya Rai, Gauri Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Malaika Arora, Twinkle Khanna and Kiran Rao.

Kajol is a praiseworthy actress in Bollywood. She praised her fans with her acting ability. She is a good actor and good wife. It has been 11 years that Kajol married to actor Ajay Devgn. They are the example of happy couple in Bollywood. New married couple should learn something from them.

This survey was part of the constant research that shaadi.com conducts in attempts to measure the presence of its members. This survey shows that today’s women’s are looking to be more independent and are willing to adopt stronger roles in their life.

We can hear a common accusation about Bollywood movie industry is that they copy from Hollywood. It is really a deceitful matter for Hindi movie lovers because they do not want to hear that they are stealing from Hollywood. However, if you look at the Bollywood movie industry then you can see that most of the time they depend on a script that was copied from a famous English movie. It is really pathetic. Amitabh Bachchan starrer “Teen Patti” and Farhan Akhtar starrer ‘Karthik calling Karthik’ was the best example for this accusation.

Another big problem is that movie director and producers still depend on old faces that fans are not interested to see anymore. Repeating old faces is really disgusting matter. I hope that they should look for young stars who can make new trend in Bollywood. Despite the politicians announcing the 21^st century as a decade of the youth we can see the repeat of the old face in Hindi movies.

However, movies like ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘Ishqiya’ were exception. I hope that each of the movie producers and directors will follow these traditions and take India at the top position.

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif is perhaps going to be one of the biggest competitors for former Miss World Aishwarya Rai. You may ask me how is possible if these two actresses have never seen each other face to face and not even talk anything negative against each other. It is possible because it is said that Katrina Kaif is replacing Aishwarya Rai in every endorsement where Aishwarya Rai used to work. Recently, this young and talented actress has caught the media attention after becoming the latest brand ambassador of Lux. Now, she is the latest Lux diva in Bollywood. From now she will be seen in Lux ad. No doubt, this thing will create bitter feeling in the mind of Aishwarya Rai. In Nakshatra diamonds endorsement deal, we saw Katrina Kaif replacing Aishwarya Rai as a new face.

There are many reasons to show interest about Katrina Kaif. Aishwarya Rai was not a good actress either and she has become aged. May be, teenage people do not like to see her anymore. On the other hand, Katrina Kaif made hot and sexy image to her fans and she has already given many hit movies. Last year, Katrina Kaif became one of the most searched topics on internet in India. So, it is natural large company owners will show interest about her.

However, I think that bad time for Aishwarya Rai is coming. This Bollywood beauty will give more important for family work.

It is thought that the relationship between Aishwarya Bachchan and Katrina Kaif was not good ever. Even media made them rival until these two actresses saw each other. The interesting thing is that nothing has happened yet between them. The reason of their rivalry is that they have link with one of the top Bollywood actors Salman Khan. Everybody knows the relationship between Salman and Aishwarya. But now it is past. The present girlfriend of Salman Khan is Katrina Kaif.

This time they both caught media coverage not for Salman Khan but for an endorsement. We were accustomed to see Aishwarya Rai in Lux ad. However, in the near future we can see Katrina Kaif to replace this former miss world. The reason is that Katrina Kaif has been signed as the brand ambassador of the prestigious Lux soap. So, we can see her endorsing in Lux Purple Lotus & Cream.

Aamir Khan starrer “3 Idiots” caught the attraction of the 55^th Filmfare Awards after getting six awards including best best film award. However, there was another film, titled “DevD”, which made surprise after getting same amount of awards this year. It is really interesting to see that a mainstream and offbeat cinema has an equal impact to the audience.

The story of DevD was taken from Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic Bengali novel Devdas. Two female characters acted against Abhay Deol in this movie. Both Mahie Gill Gill and Kalki Koechlin were nominated for Filmfare awards. Kalki Koechlin won the best supporting actress. On the other hand, Mahie Gill won the critics award. Anurag Kashyap directed this film. This film also won best production design, best cinematography and best background score for Amit Trivedi. Amit Trivedi also picked up the R D Burman Award for New Music Talent.

I hope that Bollywood directors and stars will not follow others tradition and will be inspired to make more movies that shows their own tradition and culture.

A cold war is going on between Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan and tabloid newspaper. Because of this fact, Amitabh Bachchan has boycotted the most prestigious ceremony Filmfare awards, which was organizing its 55^th ceremony this year. The 66-year-old actor was nominated as the best male actor for his movie “Paa” where he acted along with his son Abhishek Bachchan. It is thought that Amitabh Bachchan may not accept this award. Both Bachchans stayed out from this function. I think you already know that why they boycotted the award ceremony after Mumbai Mirror published news related about Bachchans. They wrote that Abhishek’s wife, former Miss World Aishwarya Rai could not give birth to baby. This year “Paa” won two awards. Its actress Vidya Balan won nominated as the best actress.

The B town is a buzzed with rumors that in her upcoming movie, Tees Maar Khan, actress Katrina Kaif will do a Madhuri Dixit a dance number. For this reason, Katrina watched lots of DVD’s of Madhuri Dixit in the last few days and heavily trained for the dance. The director of this movie Farah Khan is also a fan of Madhuri Dixit and she decided to make Katrina Kaif do a Madhuri Dixit number in her movie. Katrina Kaif will be performing a hot item number wearing a ghaghra choli designed by Aki Narula. However, doing dancing like Madhuri Dixit is not an easy matter because Madhuri is known to be one of the most dancers in the Bollywood movie industry. Katrina knows it very well and that’s why she took this whole ting very seriously. Katrina trained for 15 to 20 days and watched lots of DVD’s of Madhuri Dixit so that she can give the exact expression like the former Bollywood queen. In the song, Katrina will be playing the role of a village belle and dance like Madhuri Dixit. Director Farah Khan says,

“Katrina has to do a village belle number like Madhuri. I’ve even given her Madhuri’s DVDs to watch, so that she gets the right expressions and the thumkas. The song will be shot at Malsej Ghat and Kat will rehearse with chief choreographer Geeta Kapoor and me.”

Now, the big question is will Katrina be able to dance like Madhuri Dixit? Definitely Katrina is the Bollywood queen and she is a very good dancer but Madhuri Dixit was one of the top actresses and it was dancing that made her more popular. No other actress in Bollywood could become so popular with her dance move like Madhuri Dixit. So, definitely it is a big test for Katrina Kaif. Let see how well Katrina can pick up Madhuri Dixit.

I have seen many foreign stars, especially Hollywood stars, to show their interest to act in Bollywood. It seems that making debut in Bollywood is something like a dream. Indian movie industry is progressing well compare with other movie industries. I also have to admit that Indian movie industry is huge which is considered the main reason to attract the foreign stars. However, the well-known English actor Sir Ben Kingsley is not new face in Bollywood. He made his first appearance in Bollywood as Mohandas Gandhi in the film Gandhi in 1982. But movie lovers can see him acting along with Big B, Amitabh Bachchan, in Teen Patti which has been released today across India. He is the first Oscar winner actor who acts in Bollywood film.

Ben Kingsley has special attraction to India. May be, he is Indian origin. He is the son of Krishna Pandit Bhanji, who is an English actress and doctor of Indian origin. It is the time to see how Amitabh Bachchan-Ben Kingsley chemistry attracts the audience in the cinema halls.

If you watch the film Gandhi then you should remember Ben Kingsley’s eye catching acting. In one word, he was superb. Even this film is still shown on TV in India every independence day. I am hopeful about his success in Teen Patti.
