MOTHER’S DAY
A mother-daughter relation is special. What makes it extra-special is the mutual admiration. This Mother’s Day, we bring to you some famous mothers and their famous daughters and the bonding they share.
Political circles
This Member of Parliament from Bhiwani-Mahendragarh, has taken after her mother Kiran Choudhary and a family that’s had mass leaders, including her father and grandfather. This mother-daughter duo travels often (they take up different areas of the constituency at a time, so that they cover more) and yet take out time for each other. Daughter speak: My mother has been indulgent, but a disciplinarian at the same time. Growing up as a single child in a household with my parents and grandparents for company, she taught me all the values like respecting elders and serving the society. She has been my friend; to date I can share anything with her, at the same time, I know I will get it from her if I falter. Defining moment: She’s been there for me when I dressed as Razia Sultan, Indira Gandhi or Meera and also when my grandfather put the traditional pagri on my head, which meant a lot of responsibilities, after my father’s demise. From that day on she has been both my mother and father. I admire: Her fiery nature, she is unafraid of anything that comes her way. On Mother’s Day: I wish her health and happiness always.
Mother Speak
I am the luckiest mother to have Shruti as a child. I wish I have her as my girl in every birth; such is
the strength she gives me!
Kiran Choudhary
Art mart
Daughter speak: There is no one in the world who will not say that mothers are the closest to their hearts. In my case the bond has been stronger because ‘Ammi’ played both roles, including the financial role of the father, working 18 hours a day, instilling in me the value of hard work. Defining moment: The defining moments are many. Mother accompanying me to all my exhibitions in Mumbai, Kolkata, YWCAs; and cheap meals, long train journeys for we had very little money, covering up for my shyness in public. I admire: Her sharing her earnings liberally with the poor. When art boomed, I followed her sharing instinct. I also admire and inherit her spirit of fighting for Delhi’s depleting greenery. On Mother’s Day: Mother’s Day is big affair at our home for I am just one of her daughters, along with 125 others from the slums for whom she has set up a vocational training school 37 years ago.
Mother Speak
Arpana is the anchor of my life. She is very compassionate, very soft and very spiritual. Sometimes I wonder how God has bestowed such a glorious gift in my very ordinary lap. Ajeet Cour
Beautiful ties Daughter speak: They say we do not choose our parents, but I have an instinct that I chose her. She has been free, frank and very friendly to begin with. Now that we work together, we have only come closer. She has been my true Guru in the beauty business. I really value that she taught me to take responsibility for my life. Together time: We gym and also work together. Her work is her passion
till date. I admire: Mother has this beautiful, happy energy around her. She has an immense desire to learn. Defining moment: The day my son was born, I needed just my mum to hold and support me. Mother’s Day: It’s the day for shopping and eating to the hilt and yes, no exercise today!
Mother Speak
With Samantha being in my life, I couldn’t have asked for more. She is very clear on what she wants and goes for it. She is the managing director of our company and yet consults me on major decisions.
She is not only a wonderful daughter, but also a mother.
Blossom Kochhar
Classical affair
Daughter speak: My mother has been influential to first recognise and then hone my talent for dance. In fact, it was seeing her transported into another world that I got attracted towards classical arts. She has been the steady rock by my side. In any classical art, one needs hours of riyaaz, she knew and supported me for it. When everybody else thought dance was a waste of time, she motivated me to carry on and made me realise our responsibility towards preserving our rich heritage. I still head back home the moment I get time. I admire: Her sensitivity to all my wants and needs; she supports me in all I do. Defining moment: When we shared the stage on the opening of the Patiala Heritage Festival. We have performed together on stage extensively and it fills me with a wonderful sense of gain to represent two genres of classical art in front of a live audience. On Mother’s Day: Each day is Mother’s Day for us, the bond we share goes beyond a regular mother-daughter one.
Mother Speak
I am a proud mother. Nandita has earned a name in creative fields — dancing and acting. I have all the affection and admiration for what she has achieved.

Preity cool!
It’s been “five years of settling the business and now that the CEO can be ready to take over,” hopefully she’ll come back to where she started from, the films. “Whenever a star’s absent from the silver screen for a while, there’s always a pressure of expectations from the next film,” admits Prem Raj, the director, in tow with the actor Rhehan Malliek. He adds, “After watching this film, you’ll all say, ‘Oh Preity, why did you disappear?” Movie time
The winter look of the posters might suggest a last Fall release, but the freezing backdrop of France might work well in the holiday season and boiling India. “It’s a decent family entertainer; right from children to grandparents can watch it.” While there are no biographical connotations, the script borrows from influences around. “In this film, I’ve taken a lot from my friends, their life and even my life, but it’s not my story.” She adds, “This film is important to me because it has my name on it. Since it’s my first production so there’s much more creative involvement than any other film. It’s shaped up really well and all’s well that ends well.” Actor speak
The Indian model and television actor is literally starting afresh and chose to begin his initials. Gaurav Chanana of the tele-series Sanjivani re-emerges as Rhehan Malliek and would like to be referred to as one. “I thought it’s a good way to start afresh and why not.” Between playing the beloved medico of small screen and starting new with the film, there’s a really long spell of absence. “I have been traveling all this while, doing theatre with Barry John and just taking a break.” He adds, “I play Akash, a film agent in London, who meets this new girl and how his life changes completely.” Ishkq in Paris happened only post an audition and a photoshoot with Preity Zinta. “She helped me a lot.” There’s always a flipside of working with a star.“Even if I do get over-shadowed by her, it’s all right. She’s Preity Zinta.” Short take
An October to May delay is just a part of the miscellaneous reasons for the director Prem Raj. “We started shooting in the beginning of 2012 and wrapped up in August; hoped for an ambitious October release, which for some reasons did not happen. I also had certain health issues. Otherwise, one-and-a-half year is the normal time any film takes.” The film talks about two people meeting each other without being committed. He adds, “It talks about how you find everything in Paris but not love.” Apart from Paris, that the “film has been completely shot in,” there’s French actor Isabelle Adjani sharing the credits. “The script required a French actor and fortunately for us, she agreed. She plays a very strong character in the film and revealing anything beyond would be like giving away too much.”

Sky is the limit
He battled for his dreams on the shores of uncertainty, as he chose to live for his passion. This is the story of a journalist, an adventure traveller, a writer and an idealist, Karanbir Singh Bedi, a Chandigarh lad who has paved his way into the Limca Book of Records. “I was almost as nonplussed as anybody else of my age when I started off with my career.
I started working as a journalist with a magazine, Overdrive, soon after I finished my masters in journalism from the School of Communication Studies, Panjab University,” says Karan. He continues, “I had a regular job that was giving me all the money that I required during that time, but I am an incorrigible dreamer. So, I quit my job in 2009 and went hitchhiking across six countries, including, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Columbia,” he says. Karan broke three national records in the process, “I broke the record of the fastest ride from Kanyakumari to Leh in 2009, first on a motorcycle and then by car. Also, in 2008, I broke the record for the fastest car ride from Porbandar to Tezu in Arunachal Pradesh. Besides, when I was in Peru, I entered Machu Picchu through a secret map that was given to me by a co-traveller.” Karan has also secured top five positions in various motorsports, including the Raid de Himalaya, a seven-day long race, which starts from Shimla to Leh. “The city life baffles me beyond expression; I detest their frivolous chase towards materialism. So currently, I am embarking on a whole new venture of starting up adventure tourism in Spiti Valley by the name of Himalayan Shepherd,” he explains. Karan, who presently writes for several magazines, including Travel Plus, Travel Outlook, Jet Wings and Sports Illustrated, adds, “I think the only thing that bothers me is the lack of security, both financial and emotional, but it also motivates me to push my limits a little.” Quoting Mark Twain, Karan signs off, “A ship is safe in a harbour, but it is not there where it’s meant to
be.” amarjot@tribunemail.com

Punjabi Tadka
The young music director shot to fame with Punjabi club number Saturday Saturday. He lives music, breathes music….. “And eat it too,” he laughs. Given a choice, he would never come out of the recording studio, and make music 25 hours a day! A musical spin with him… Film music vs
private album… Film music is far more challenging than making music for an album. Film music caters to a wider audience, so the sensibilities are always kept in mind. Favourite Punjabi singer? Diljit Dosanjh. He is a versatile singer, someone who can carry a song with a high and low pitch equally well. I like his throw, his energy and the rush in his voice. A singer I would want to work with… Undoubtedly Mika! He is again a singer in Bollywood who is brilliant. Latest movie watch… I saw Tu Mera 22 Main Tera 22. It is a good mix of entertainment, and it has excellent music. What’s on my Ipod … All kinds of music, from hip hop to jazz, soft music to desi types. This is the first thing that I do when I get up in the morning. I plug in the ipod in my ears. This is how my day starts. Favourite Punjabi folk instrument… Dhol. I love using it in my tracks; it has an international appeal to it. Song that doesn’t make sense… Saturdaty Saturday. Lyrics for the soul… Lyrics are important to any song, it might be slightly ignored in a club number, but to any romantic song it is of utmost importance. When I am not making music… I am sleeping. I don’t do anything else but live music.

It’s happening
Woven around a long road journey across the country, India by Song brings together history, colourful Bollywood song clips, live testimonies and beautiful images of today’s India to deliver a gripping work of cinema. The film fuses history and cinema so seamlessly that we see dancing and singing actresses, thinkers, domestic maids, farmers and cricketers roll in and out of frames and dissolve into each other imperceptibly. Vijay Singh uses song clips in the film less to illustrate their connection with historical reality than to show the inner world of emotions that inhabited the people of those times. Vijay Singh is an Indian film-maker, screenplay-writer and novelist living in Paris. India by Song, his latest film, won the Best Documentary Audience Award at the River to River Florence Film Festival 2010.

Will Aaradhya walk the red carpet with Ash?
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan will walk the red carpet at Cannes especially for the premiere of The Great Gatsby. The question is that will Aaradhya walk the red carpet with her famous family?
A source says, "Aaradhya Bachchan will definitely be part of the entourage at Cannes. Abhishek is not going to be there because he is shooting for Dhoom 3. Aaradhya was at Cannes last year too but she was only 5 months old. Now she is nearly 18 months old. So Ash wants to show her around the city. The little one is quite a globetrotter having already been to Dubai, London, Cannes, New York, Vancouver and a few other places where her famous parents have taken her. Ash is a hands-on mom. Along with a nanny, Ash's mom Vrinda also travels with her to take care of Aaradhya when Ash is away or busy. She often drops her at her mom's place." Aishwarya's had her share of hits and misses at the red carpet in Cannes. There will be even more buzz this time if she walks on the red carpet with her daughter. Her parents dress her well in trendy clothes like printed pants, Scottish checks, boots with fur. Here is what a couple
of designers are saying about Aaradhya's probably wardrobe at Cannes Rocky S: I think Aaradhya should wear whatever
Ash wears. I feel Ash should wear a saree because it is elegant and Indian and Aaradhya should wear a ghaghara choli in the same shades and embroidery. That would be adorable and perfect on the red carpet. Royaz Gangji: If Aaradhya walks the red carpet, she should wear a baby pink gown. She will look like a cute princess in it and she is a princess after all!

Of friendship & rivalry
In what could be regarded as a major departure from custom, Kamal Haasan is all set to view his friend and professional rival Rajinikanth's latest film, the long-awaited Kochadaiyaan.
The film adopts a new form of storytelling known as the Motion Capture technique. Understandably, Rajini is said to be anxious and has asked Kamal Hassan to step in to suggest changes. Speaking fondly about his friendship and rivalry with Rajinikanth, Kamal says: "I'd do anything he asks me to, no question of refusing him. Both of us were young actors who started from scratch. He was the bus conductor with acting aspirations. I was the clapper boy. We made our way up together.”

Close bonding
Adnan says emotionally, "Yash Uncle and Pam Aunty were the first family I had in Mumbai. They made sure I never felt like an outsider. Thanks to Yash Uncle I began to feel like a part of Bollywood and Mumbai in no time at all." Adnan refuses to believe that current tensions between India and Pakistan would obviate efforts to bring the two countries together on a cultural level. "I've never felt any hostility. India is as much my country as anyone else's. You can't write off years of a relationship just because there are some stormy moments in the journey," says Adnan.

Keith’s the best
Keith Urban has been voted as the Best Idol Judge Ever in a recent readers' poll where Urban beat Simon Cowell and Mariah Carey for the honour. The poll included all seasons of the hit show. Even though Keith Urban has only been a judge on American Idol for one season, Season 12 on BIG CBS LOVE, his quiet and kind demeanour has already made him a favourite with the fans. Talking about his judging style, the recently named Best Idol Judge Ever says, “I think the fact that when I was 9-10 years of age I did one of these shows in Australia and I was really crucified by one of the judges. It was devastating and so I try not to destroy somebody in front of millions of people," he further added, "it's tricky when someone's just murdered a song and everyone knows it.”. The other judges that rounded up on the Top Five on the poll include Simon Cowell, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez and Nicki Minaj. Surprisingly, Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler, Idol veteran Randy Jackson and television host Ellen DeGeneres did not make it anywhere in the top five.
Classic move
When we contacted Manish he said, “Honestly, I had a mental block when it comes to classical dance and I never thought I would be attempting it ever. However, recently at an event when I was asked to do a classical dance, I took it up as a challenge. I know I wasn’t able to catch it perfectly but I made my best attempt and I am grateful that my co- stars stepped forward to help me. I don't know how much perfection I could achieve in barely two days of practice but I could at least give a confident performance due to these two friends!”
Bigg Boss now in Bengali
While Bigg Boss will now speak in Bengali, the affable and effervescent Mithun Chakraborthy will be seen hosting the show; but in an all new avatar. An actor par excellence, Mithun da is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential actors in the history of Indian cinema and coupled with his mass appeal and energetic persona; he makes the perfect choice as the host. Talking about his new role, Mithun da said, “Bigg Boss is a very intriguing format. To be a celebrity and to be under surveillance 24x7 on national camera is no easy task and it’s an honor to be the link between the Bigg Boss house and the outside world. I look forward to starting the shoot for the show soon.” Produced by Endemol India, Bigg Boss is slated to go on air on ETV Bangla in the month of June.

After all, it doesn’t get more inquisitive than cricket and cinema. “It’s like taking care of a new business altogether. It’s a whole lot of work. You only see me on the cricket field where there’s nothing much for me to do, but you don’t see me in the boardroom where it’s hectic.”
