He’s got the looks
Aarya Babbar talks about his comic character in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
Quiz actors about the kind of roles that they would want to do, and the first answer from them is- performance oriented, something that is different and certainly no monotonous characters. Monotony, we ponder over the word. One thing that helps actors break it is newer looks in every film. Aamir Khan is known to ask for a different look in every movie. Sometimes he romances around with spikes, and then you see the all-hair- gone look. Looks bring about a change. Actor Aarya Babbar falls under the same genre. The actor who is shooting in the outskirts of Punjab for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Matru Ki Bijlee ka Mandola will be seen in six different avtars in his upcoming movies.

Straight from the heart
Mehak Chahal who came into limelight after her Bigg Boss stint and a cameo in Wanted speaks her mind
This is something interesting about publicity, if you have it in abundance and in the right manner, you are a star. If you have it in abundance and in a negative manner, you are a bigger star. When we look at actor Mehak Chahal of Bigg Boss season 5 fame, perform at the SFL concert in Chandigarh, we begin to wonder what makes her a household name. A reality show did the spin, and today the actor has a bunch of followers who call themselves Mehakians! Can you beat that? Excerpts from the interview will be savoured by those who relished every episode of the Sunny Leone famous season of Bigg Boss.
I just believe it: I have received a splendid response from Bigg Boss audiences. People saw me in a different light and they appreciated every bit of how I held the fort strongly on the reality show. I couldn’t believe myself when I saw groups on Facebook who call themselves Mehakians.

Glam, glitz and action

When Maliaka Arora Khan danced on Saturday at the SFL concert, Chandigarh, she only lived up to her image of being the most popular ‘item’ girl.

Astro turf
ARIES: There could be several disruptions and this could leave you feeling irritated. Be careful as you are prone to losing your temper with loved ones. Spending time with your partner is a priority.

The year ahead
If your birthday is April 9...
This is a good year for academic achievements. Guidance from seniors and teachers will pull you out of several problems. You’ll have your head in the clouds and you’ll deal with your daily routine in a superficial manner. A heated disagreement is likely regarding domestic issues. Health wise, this period will be dull therefore you should be careful of what you eat. Certain important work will come to a standstill due to bleak financial position.

Going the painter way
Raqesh vashisth loves to paint. However, his tight schedules of Maryaada on Star Plus hardly allow him to practice painting. Once Raqesh painted his vanity rooms wall red. Raqesh was dying to paint and he still had his shoot on he was carrying his brush and paints. The urge to pick up the brush was so strong that he started painting his room walls with bright red colors. When his boy entered the room he was shocked to see such colorful walls. It sure looked like a million bucks. Everyone on set has now been asking Raqesh to paint their rooms or walls. Great Going!!

House warming: Anushka Sharma One happy family

Mixed reactions!
The critics hate Housefull 2 and the movie has got unanimous bad reviews. Yet, with the vacations on and no other Hindi release coupled with the ensemble cast and popular music, the shows are full and the movie is likely to become a hit!

Third in a row
Getting a US visa can be difficult even for Bollywood folks. Film composer Amit Trivedi was rejected a US travel visa and couldn’t attend a film festival. “Amit Trivedi’s American visa was rejected because the Embassy thought he won’t come back from his holiday…Someone tell the US embassy. Two of our filmmakers’ visa were also rejected when they were going for a film festival, with their films to LA,” director Anurag Kashyap said. In the past, Bollywood actors like Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan were denied US visa too.

The right recipe
The Bhatts make their films cleverly so even Kunal Kemmu starrer Blood Money is apparently a success! The cast and crew recently celebrated with dollars at the success party of the film at a suburban five-star! Next up is the success party of Jannat 2! — HRM

Foul fuel
The trailer and first look poster of Kya Super Kool Hain Hum has been launched and it is disgusting and gross to say the least. They are flaunting the bad reviews. If you are making a comedy, your cast members have to be charismatic and sexy. The movie has sexy girls but we cannot say the same about the guys! This will be one yuck fest!

Girl in the café
Katrina Kaif has clarified that the café she visits in Bandra, suburban Mumbai was introduced to her by Alvira Khan and not SRK. She was there with Alvira.
