Preeti Jhangiani will be back on the big screen

Preeti Jhangiani who made her debut more than ten years back with the film Mohabbatain, had been on a break due to her first pregnancy. Now that her baby is more than a year old, Preeti has all the time to be back where she belongs to – the world of Hindi cinema.

As a matter of fact, Preeti Jhangiani has been doing regional language films and has been managing her shooting. But now, as her baby is growing she has enough time to devote to her career. Yes, she has shed all the pregnancy weight and the actress is looking in shape once again.

She admitted that it was not easy leaving her baby back home and working. However, she also said that it would not be good to be always in front of the toddler. So that is how Preeti Jhangiani is managing to balance her domestic and professional life.

The fact that she is returning on the big screen as a married woman now, does not trouble her. She gave examples of other stars like Lara Dutta, Malaika Arora Khan and Kajol to drive her point home.

Lara Dutta to be a Bigg Boss 5 contestant?

The soon mother-to-be Lara Dutta will be one of the contestants on the reality show Bigg Boss 5. There are some sections in the media that have brought up the news. There is however, no confirmation from the actress herself. Well, leave alone confirmation, Lara has confirmed in the negative.

The actress, who recently got married to tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi has said that these are all rumors and there is no truth in the reports. There were some names which were cropping up some days before too. But all have denied their presence for the show. Whatever the names have emerged, interestingly, all are NOT a part of the show.

However, it should be noted that Lara is pregnant and therefore she is least expected to show up on the show. Moreover, the timing of the show and that of her final stages of her pregnancy might not have a big time span. Therefore, it is surprising how the name of the actress is being roped in.

However, the names of the actual housemates are still under the wraps. But it is expected that former boxing champion Mike Tyson may show up for the for as did Pamela Anderson did in the last season.

Kalki Koechlin denies reports of being pregnant

In one of the latest pregnancy reports, we have on the list Kalki Koechlin. However, Kalki Koechlin says that the reports are negative. Well, do not take it in the literal meaning – in a doctor’s language. In ‘reports’ we mean the news reports (and not a gynecologist’s reports; please don’t read between the lines).

The Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara star has not been keeping good health of late. Due to that, she could not even be a part of the party whenever one was arranged. However, unlike Aishwarya Rai and Lara Dutta, who are already on their family way, there are no signs for Kalki yet.

But when will there be good news from her side? Well, the answer is straight from the head (we doubt if it has really come from the heart). Kalki does not want to become a mother for another ten years now. Now, isn’t that a long period? But that is what Kalki has told about her family planning.

Kalki is just recovering from malaria and she has already become rather thin. Weakness has gripped her. That is why she finds it even difficult to think of a family at this moment. But then does it take 10 years to recover?

Whatever, the news of Kalki not getting pregnant for another decade should come as a great relief to directors and producers in the film industry.

Lara Dutta is pregnant

Bollywood actress Lara Dutta, who recently married tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi is waiting to be a mother now. After Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Lara Dutta is the second Bollywood personality to open her good news to their fans. The reports of her pregnancy were confirmed in some of the latest reports.

“Thank you so much for all ur wishes and prayers. It’s an awesome time in life right now and Mahesh and I r both very excited abt the baby!,”, Lara twitted on her Twitter page.

Actually, the reports came through the source of an interview she gave recently. “I am pregnant and excited”, Lara was heard as saying.

Another Bollywood star who is also going to be a parent like Lara is Abhishek Bachchan. He has also congratulated Lara on her pregnancy news. ““welcome on board” is what Abhishek said in his congratulatory message.

Vasuki Sunkavalli is the winner of the I Am She Miss Universe India 2011 title. After becoming the owner of the new title, Vasuki Sunkavalli has come straight into the news. She says that now her first aim is to be fit physically for the upcoming beauty pageant in Brazil.

Speaking of her career options, Vasuki Sunkavalli has been originally a lawyer. However, the beauty pageant winner has also done a bit of modeling. Her modeling profession was quite to be understood, as it was easy for Vasuki Sunkavalli to get into modeling due to her killer looks and an inviting figure.

However, she was hesitant to directly speak of Bollywood as her option. She said that she has no plans as yet of making it to Bollywood. However, at the same time, Vasuki said that she does not fully ignore that channel as the career option if a chance comes by. She cited examples of Lara Dutta, Aishwarya Rai, Dia Mirza and Sushmita Sen who all made it big in Bollywood after winning the various beauty pageant titles.

Vasuki Sunkavalli is a 26-year old girl who comes from Hyderabad. She was crowned Miss Universe India 2011 by another beauty contest winner Sushmita Sen.

Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi go on a vacation

After Vivek Oberoi and his wife Priyanka, it is the turn of Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi to go for a summer vacation. Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi, will most probably, be going out of India. This is not only the summer vacation for them, but also a honeymoon trip.

However, the Cholo Dilli actress was shrewd enough not to expose the name of the destination. However, it was Vivek Oberoi who had made it public that he would be going to Bali along with his wife. But as far as the trip of Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi is concerned, it is still unclear where the pair has headed.

But there is one interesting thing that Lara Dutta has revealed. She and her husband will also be accompanied by their pet dogs as well. There is more than Lara has made public. Even if we call it their honeymoon time, hold on. See who is there with the couple. She disclosed this on her Twitter page:

“Vacation time! Dogs, domestic help, parents, sisters, nieces, husband's (mine and sisters) all headed 2 an undisclosed location! Its an Exodus!,”

Lara Dutta promoting Chalo Dilli vigorously

Lara Dutta is awaiting her next movie, Chalo Dilli, which is slated for April 29 release. Along with Lara, Vinay Pathak will be seen in the lead role. Akshay Kumar will be seen in a cameo while the much-talked about Yana Gupta will be seen in a raunchy item number.

Lara Dutta is not known for being too much in the limelight whatever the reason is. She is not seen every now and then for the promotion of her films, even if she is acting in the lead role. But for her current film Chalo Dilli, Lara seems to have made an exception. She is leaving no stone unturned to promote her film this time around.

Whatever the medium of communication is possible, Lara is using them all for the cause, be it radio, TV or even the Internet. As far as television is concerned, she is trying to attend as many programmes as possible to give the film a lift. She is using the social networking to the best of her advantage. The most prominent of them all is Twitter. The reason is Lara has more than three lac followers on Twitter.

With such a strong follower-base, it would be surprising only if Lara had ignored that medium. On Twitter, she asked some questions which were related to the film. The beautiful lady has also promised some gifts in the form of her and Vinay’s autographed merchandise to the winners.

We hope all the efforts will bring luck to Lara Dutta!

Lara Dutta to host ‘Extreme Makeover’ on the small screen

By playing the host to the Indian version of the reality show, Extreme Makeover, Lara Dutta will become yet another actress from Bollywood, who will make her debut on the small screen. She has not signed the contract officially as of now, because the talks about the remuneration and the duration are still on. However it is certain that the contract will land in Lara’s lap.

Since her marriage, Lara has got many offers to do various shows. However, it is ‘Extreme Makeover’ that Lara has fallen for. As the show is not officially signed by Lara yet, she is not thinking anything about it yet. But she is currently busy with ‘Don2’ and ‘Chalo Dilli’.

As per the programme, there will be 14 contestants, who will receive an extensive makeover.

Lara has not turned housewife after her marriage to Indian tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi weeks ago. She is awaiting the release of ‘Chalo Dilli’ which is scheduled to be released on April 29.

A LITTLE ABOUT ‘EXTREME MAKEOVER’

TV producer in the US Howard Schultz is credited to be the creator of the show. This show began almost nine years ago – in 2002. Then, around 55 episodes of the show were produced. When we say extreme makeover in the sense of the show, we mean, the involvement of plastic surgery, exercise, hairdressing etc. The participants then return to their respective families after undergoing ‘Extreme Makeover’.

'Housefull 2' to roll shortly

'Housefull' might have been moderately houseful. But what we hear the latest is that, they are coming up with a sequel to the film. The sequel will be titled 'Housefull 2'. The leading stars of 'Housefull' were Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Akshay Kumar, Ritiesh Deshmukh and Jiah Khan along with Arjun Rampal.

Now the two Sajids, producer Sajid Nadiawala and Sajid Khan are coming back to tickle your funny bone once again, as they are coming back with the sequel to 'Housefull'. How

ever, the new version will have an

entirely different cast. John Abraham, Nana Patakar, the very versatile Paresh Raval and the ever beautiful Katrina Kaif will be seen in 'Housefull 2'. The film will be shot both in India and on some exotic foreign locations.

The shooting will start in the month of May. Now, let's hope that all goes well with the film at the box office too.

Housefull

There have always been newer and newer ways of promoting the film. For that the production houses are ready to spend money and are ready to innovate as well. Now, speaking about 'Housefull', they have also come up with such a unique idea. The leading stars of the film - Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Akshay Kumar, Ritiesh Deshmukh and Jiah Khan along with Arjun Rampal will be going to spend almost one full day at the house of the winner of a lucky contest. They will be travelling across Ahmadabad, Delhi, Kolkata and of course, Mumbai.
According to Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer, the stars will personally interact with their fans. The 'Housefull' team will be visiting 4 families. That will be also a lifetime experience for the fans of the stars too and will also get a chance to get up-close and personal with them. People in 'Housefull' are normal facing abnormal situations and that is where comedy takes birth. But this has to do with a lie - a white lie. Now, let's hope that all goes well with the film at the box office.

Sajid's 'Housefull'

Innovation is the name of the game, and there are some expert players to play this game. Sajid Khan is one of them. He is dishing out a 'Housefull' of entertainment, where there will be what no other director has done. Sajid has experimented with a new concept. The concept is of trying out a number of languages in the span of the whole movie. 3 hours showcase more than 3 languages. By the way, using a couple of languages like a doubler is not new. Hindi and English is simply used as a mother-tongue.
However, Punjabi, Telugu, Marathi, Urdu, Guajarati and Sindhi all are bundled into one to create a great comic experience. Lara Dutta and Boman Irani speak Gujrati. Akshay Kumar and Vindu Dara Singh speak Punjabi. Riteish speaks Marathi. Deepika and Arjun Rampal speak Telugu. Don’t forget Chunky Pande who speaks Italian. Lillete Dubey Urdu, and finally Jiah Khan and Randhir Kapoor speak Sindhi. Let us hope that this change brings about a new trend in entertainment.
