Actors travelling aboard more cautious with customs

Tweet

Once bitten, twice shy. It seems that the Bollywood actors have taken a leaf out of the recent incidents where Bollywood celebrities have had to go through the custom hassels about the things they were carrying, or in fact returning from foreign countries after their shows.

Among those who were seen declaring their possession was Ronit Roy – the protagonist of the current popular TV serial Adalat. He went to Toronto for the current IIFA awards with his family. He declared his possession of a hi-tech camera and a couple of ipads.

Abhinav Kashyap, the director of Dabangg, was another prominent personality who was seen with the custom officials. He disclosed that he was travelling with two of his laptops. Dia Mirza was rather too cautious. And why wouldn’t she be? She declared about her earrings that she was going to wear during the actual IIFA events.

The wait is frustrating for Delhi Belly girl Poorna Jagannathan

Tweet
The new face in the film Delhi Belly is Poorna Jagannathan. She had a debut in the Bollywood industry and that too directly in Aamir Khan’s film. Well, what more should a newcomer want? Anyone would be ready to go with such a lucrative offer. However, as the saying goes, ‘all that twinkles is not gold’.
Poorna Jagannathan went something like this. Though she had an Aamir Khan film to boast of, things did not go too well with her. Actually, it was more frustrating than anything else. It is not because of the fact that she is a new comer. But there are different reasons for this.
After Poorna Jagannathan completed her shooting, she waited and waited and waited. The waiting period was of one full year. That is what brought more restlessness and frustration to her. However, she is speaking all this after one full year; so naturally, it is the truth that is coming out.
Poorna Jagannathan was based in LA before she came to Bollywood. She was working in the field of advertising as a consumer and brand strategist. However, she started to grow dislike for her job and took acting course. And this is where we see her now – playing the lady love of Imran Khan.

When her career in Bollywood was on a high, and was handling a string of film offers, in 2009 it was found that the beautiful looking actress had a bone marrow cancer. It was a difficult phase in her life as the fold in which she had settled down got disrupted. But she was not the one to be deterred and looking for films again.

It was in 2001 that she made her Bollywood debut with the film Kasoor. However, her acting debut dates seven years back with her Telugu film Nethaji. But it was Bollywood that gave her the real identity as an actress.

Coming back to her illness, she has taken it on a positive note and is not at all disappointed by it. On the contrary, she feels it has given her a new perspective towards life. She is so buoyed by the experience that she is planning to write a book on the entire disease itself.
