Stars in her eyes
A girl from a small town, with a passion for acting, hoodwinks her parents into believing that she is moving out to pursue a course in a big town. She lands there without any clue and struggles hard for almost 15 years before she finally makes it. This can pass as a good plot for Subhash Ghai's movie, only he would have to give actor Tisca Chopra due credit for it! For this is her story…she lived it and today she can talk about it without any regrets. Tisca is one of the judges for the Big Fame Star, the auditions for which kickstarts in January 2013. Dressed in black with a neck pieces thrown lavishly around her neck, the Taare Zameen Par actress speaks Punjabi as and when required.
Ticket to stardom Tisca has seen her share of struggle in Mumbai, which makes her relate to the problems strugglers from Punjab and elsewhere face. "I know how it feels to be in a new place with nothing to bank on," says Tisca who felt immensely lonely when she moved to Mumbai from Kasauli. Big Fame Star is one such platform that promises ticket to stardom by making things a little easy for the youth of Punjab. Auditions for Big Fame Star will be held in six cities in Punjab, including Patiala, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Bathinda and Chandigarh. Following the local auditions, 50 contestants will be shortlisted to participate in the mega-audition. "I will be a little tough with the contestants; if you want to act, you better be good," she smiles Get your act together So the struggle, the difficult days find place in the chapters of her book Get Your Act Together. "I planned writing this book eight-nine years back. This contains my own experiences and also of fellow actors as well as directors," says Tisca, who has included incidents like casting couch, bad contract and manipulative managers in her book. "I saw how auditions would take place and how people would queue up to do the same things." Tisca has had directors like Yash Chopra. Imtiaz Ali, Raju Hirani and actors like Boman Irani talk about their experiences. "I don't understand when people ask me whether it is a biography or autobiography. I don't think I am in a position to tell people how to act; this book would be more like a guide for strugglers with experiences they can take a clue from." It is towards the end that Tisca mentions about her husband's book that just got released. "I was calling the publisher for my husband's work, when I just made a passing mention about the ideas I had in mind. It was then that Meeta Kapoor pushed me to get going on it," adds Tisca, who is frequently seen in theatre as well. Go Punjab She doesn't reprimand herself for not speaking chaste Punjabi. "It is okay if I can't speak Punjabi like flowing water." Tisca comes with quite a bit of knowledge about Punjabi cinema. "I have seen Jatt & Juliet, and bits and parts of Carry On Jatta. I am surprised how come it is only now that Punjabi cinema has become so popular. I think they make awesome comedy, even better than Bollywood," she adds expressing her desire to act in a comedy film. Tisca will soon be seen in an international Punjabi movie, Qissa, with Irrfan Khan. "I can't talk about it now," she says. Dream big As a person, Tisca is constantly trying to challenge herself. “Having done movies and theatre, I was very eager to try something different, so i took up the opportunity to judge Big Fame Star,” she says. The show is one-of-its-kind hunt by Spark Punjabi, which aims at finding out the most talented people from Punjab who aspire to be stars in the world of entertainment. “I am confident that my fans and the audiences will support me in this new endeavour. I am very disciplined, so the contestants can expect a hard time. Anoop Soni is the fellow judge,” she signs off.

star track Saif Ali Khan has stopped smoking and drinking and is shooting films back-to-back. He talks about his new ways, films, being married and more Career wise My fees have almost doubled. And I don’t mean to say this in a vulgar kind of way. In a country where everything is so uncertain, my career is the best investment I have made. I must be careful with my diet, because it is related to my career. Acting can give you a lot more than what share-market and telecom business can. This hundred per cent jump in showbiz is absent even in realty business. The cinema halls are growing. We are making more hits than we have in years. For once, our writers and directors are more in sync with the audience. Since we have delivered hit after hit, everyone’s prices have doubled. It is a wonderful time to be working in films. It is making me feel that I should respect my profession more. Keeping fit Keeping fit is a lifestyle now. Even drinking and smoking have becoming boring and repetitive like all other negative things. It feels great to wake up feeling healthy and alert. I love waking up in the morning, taking a deep breath, reading the newspaper and going to the gym - as opposed to carrying a horrible hangover right until lunch. It is nice to let off steam once in a while, but I find myself less involved with people in that sense. I like staying at home, reading a book, having a chat with my wife, a quiet dinner and going to bed early. I don’t want to drink half a bottle of whisky and look 50 the next day. I have become an anti-drinking, anti-smoking agent. Nawab of Pataudi The Nawab of Pataudi is different from the other nawabs. My ancestors have been austere and careful with money. They have been very good sportsmen; flamboyant, but disciplined. Their tastes are not flashy. They were good-looking and understated. We are not debauched and fat people who watch mujra. There have
Balancing factor She gives me a sense of well-being personally and she is a very strong and beautiful woman. I think we complement each other and we like living the good life. We are setting up our home again. We allow each other space and freedom. We love spending quiet time with each other. I see a good future for us. I have learnt that she acts on impulse and that has helped me not think too much and go with the flow and stick to what I am good at. She has brought balance into my life. Rosy future I am shooting Bullet Raja. Race 2 is ready for release and I have a special appearance in Go Goa Gone followed by shooting for Judwaa 2. This year has been pretty full and successful too.
After finishing the promotions for Dabangg 2, Sonakshi Sinha is now looking forward to shoot for AR Muragadoss’ upcoming Hindi film opposite Akshay Kumar.

The film is a remake of hit Tamil action thriller Thuppakki. Sinha will be playing a boxer in the film. New role: Sonakshi Sinha
Family time
Sonakshi Sinha has said that she will not dance at New Year’s Eve because that is the one time her entire family is together, so why would she attend a bash? She would consider the shows only if her family is not around and that does not happen because they make a point to spend NYE together.

Priyanka's lucky year
It's nearly the end of the year and award functions are something that everyone is excited about and looking forward to. In spite of heavy competition in our industry, Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has certainly managed to grab the eye!
Yes, in the recently-held Reliance Big Star Entertainment awards, our talented actress Priyanka has won the Best Actress trophy for her role in Barfi where she played the character of Jhilmil, an autistic girl. The film even surpassed 100 crore club, and has also been sent to the Oscars. This film is a very special film for Priyanka as it shows her belief in the character she played. Priyanka had started the year with a bang and she surely will be ending the year with a bang. Agneepath grossed more than Rs 100 crore which was followed by Barfi who also crossed Rs 100 crore.

Sajid: My films will never flop
After Housefull 2 success, director Sajid Khan is back with another entertaining film which is a remake of yesteryear blockbuster Himmatwala starring Jeetendra and Sridevi in the lead. Sajid is very sure that his films will never flop as he understood the taste of the audience.
"My life moves with films. I have not gone to any film school, drama school... I have learned films by watching them, and I make films as an audience member. I know what the audience wants, and that is why my films will never flop," Sajid said at a press conference. He is confident that his film Himmatwala starring Ajay Devgn and south star Tamannaah will be liked by the audience and it will be a box-office blockbuster. "All my films have been blockbusters and I will continue making such films," said Sajid. Sajid's three directorial ventures—Heyy Babyy (2007), Housefull (2010) and Housefull 2: The Dirty Dozen (2012), did a good business at the box office. Meanwhile, Sajid Khan is looking forward to judge dance reality show Nach Baliye 5 starting on December 29 on Star Plus. He will share the judges' dais with actress Shilpa Shetty and choreographer Terence Lewis. "We will talk about Himmatwala in the press conference of Himmatwala. But please watch Himmatwala, I guarantee you will not get tickets for the first three days," the 41-year-old said here Monday at the launch of the reality dance show Nach Baliye 5.
Asked about judging the dance reality show, Sajid said, "We judges are not experts in judging. There are better people than us who are experts in judging." "I feel that every person watching a reality show is an expert judge. I don't see myself as a big judge, but, yes, I do see myself as a representative of the audience," he added. |
