Comparisons between Jiah Khan and Viveka Babajee unfair?

“Although there are many similarities between the tragic deaths of Jiah Khan and Viveka Babajee, it would be unfair to compare the two incidents, simply because Viveka’s family never admitted to her case being a suicide,” said PR specialist Dale Bhagwagar, who was roped in as a spokesperson by the Babajee family to address media misinterpretations after her demise.

 Image

“The Babajee family always maintained that they wanted the Police to investigate and the truth to prevail,” Bhagwagar pointed out.

 Image

The similarities include both the personalities found hanging from a ceiling fanat their apartments. Both hung from a piece of cloth. Again, in both cases, alover was involved. While stockbroker Gautam Vora was the last person to visit Viveka at her residence, actor Aditya Pancholi’s son Suraj was the last person Jiah Khan is said to have spoken to.

 Image

There was a ‘depression theory’ which followed both deaths. Viveka was initially written about in the media, as a person who was depressed, was on anti-depressants and suicidal. But as soon as Bhagwagar took charge, he called Press conferences on behalf of the Babajee family and revealed that her family felt, this was completely untrue. “This fabricated depression theory is being floated by Gautam Vora’s friends after her demise,” he had clarified.

 Image

Now in a shocking turn of events, Jiah’s mother Rabia Khanand sister Karisma have described a similar situation. “Reports that my daughter was depressed because of work are all rubbish,” said Rabia Khan. The Khan family also denied reports of traces of alcohol and anti-depressant pills in Jiah’s stomach. Karisma stated she expected Suraj to come and tell the truth of what really happened that night and what forced Jiah to take her life.

 Image

This is yet again reminiscent of the statement the Babajee family’s spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar had made after Viveka’s demise in 2010. “The Babajee family wants Gautam Vora to come up with the truth and nothing but the truth, about the death of Viveka,” he had said.

 Image

Meanwhile, the Police is reported to have taken the Viveka Babajee demise as a reference case study to further learn and investigate Jiah Khan’s case.

Jiah Khan: Parde Ke Peeche Ka Sach — Deutsche Welle, Germany (Hindi)

We have been featured in a Hindi article Parde Ke Peeche Ka Sach by Germany’s international broadcaster Deutsche Welle.

Evelyn Sharma basks in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani glory!

Actress and fashionista Evelyn Sharma is on cloud nine. After the super success of Rohan Sippy’s Nautanki Saala and her much-appreciated performance with Ayushmann Khurranna in the number Dil Ki Toh Lag Gayi; the gal is being noticed all over again in Bollywood’s latest blockbuster Ayan Mukherji’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.

 Image

And why not! “Starring with Ranbir is every girl’s dream,” beams the 23-year-old half-German half-Indian, who has received a positive response from public as well as the industry. “Beautiful,” “charming,” “entertaining,” “sexy and appealing,” “brings humour to the film,” are words the critics have used for her.

 Image

“I’ve never played a sexy character like Lara before, and I admit all the flirting was a lot of fun,” she gushes with cheeks blushing! Gee!

 Image

Apart from having set a mark as a fashion icon in India over the last few months, Evelyn has also become a sought-after face for campaigns. “2013 has been Evelyn’s best year so far. And come to think of it; it’s just her beginning. She is blessed,” quips her publicist Dale Bhagwagar.

 Image

Meanwhile Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani continues to roar at the box-office, having joined the 100-crore-club, even before completing a one-week-run in theatres. The worldwide net collections of the film as of now; are in the range of Rs 111-114 crores. Whoopee! In fact YJHD even managed to break into the US Top 10 and was at the ninth spot over the weekend.

 Image

Evelyn has Issaq with Prateik Babbar coming up for release next month, followed by Yaariyaan; the directorial debut of T-Series’ head honcho Bhushan Kumar’s wife Divya Kumar; and Evelyn’s FIFTH release in a year!!

 

Indeed, this chick is blessed! Even God may not deny that! (wink)!

Rakul Preet to debut in Bollywood with Yaariyaan

The glamorous industry of Bollywood owes a lot to the Miss India pageant; a talent house which has produced some of the biggest film stars. The names include Nutan, Zeenat Aman, Juhi Chawla, Meenakshi Seshadri, Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra.

 Image

And now another Miss India participant Rakul Preet is all set to enter the glittering world with Yaariyaan; the directorial debut of T-Series’ head honcho Bhushan Kumar’s wife Divya Kumar.

 Image

“Yaariyaan is about five college friends and I play a nerd in the film. One who is very good with numbers,” quips the leading lady. The character is quite of her liking, as the tall and lissome Rakul is a mathematics graduate, who has studied financial management.

 Image

Moreover, like many previous beauty pageant winners, she comes from a family background of the Indian Army. Rakul won various titles in the Miss India pageant of 2011. She bagged Miss India People’s Choice, Miss Beautiful Eyes, Miss Beautiful Smile, Miss Fresh Face, Miss Talented and emerged the third runner-up finalist.

 Image

Soon after, she participated in Miss Tourism in China and rose to the sixth position in the international pageant. But that’s not all to her Libran multi-faceted personality! Apart from Hindi, English and Punjabi, the gal has now learnt to speak Tamil and Telugu and also acted in Southern hits.

 Image

Her die-hard interests include horse riding, Bharatanatyam, and hold your breath; golf too. Now, now! How many Bollywood actresses would have engaged in playing golf! But if you think, that’s enough for Rakul, you are mistaken!

 Image

The girl is a fitness freak with gymming and swimming being her daily addictions. She’s a Blue Belt in Karate, plays cricket, basket ball and even lawn tennis! And wait, did we tell you, she’s particularly proud of her 36-24-36 figure! Ooh la l

Evelyn Sharma plays with Ayushmann Khurrana’s heart!

During the shoot of Nautanki Saala’s latest hit song Dil Ki Toh Lag Gayi, Ayushmann Khurrana is said to have stolen one or two looks too much at newbie Evelyn Sharma’s sexy curves. Can we blame him?

Image

After our hearts went dhak dhak for her hot dance performance in the famous Madhuri Dixit remake Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Evelyn is now seducing us with sparkling eyes and slender moves in a Moulin Rouge kinda act, wrapping Ayushmann around her little finger.

Image

After so much praise for the soundtrack and Ayushmann’s two new chartbusters Saadi Galli and Mera Mann, Dil Ki Toh Lag Gayi is definitely the one that screws with our hearts the most!

Image

Now we are beginning to understand, why this girl has signed five major Bollywood movies already.

Inspector Yeda Patil protects women and dances with feet on fire!

Inspector Yeda Patil is all set to emerge from the corridors of corruption, as a saviour of goodness and a protector of women in India.

Image

Yeda Patil launches crusades against corruption of dance bars the same way Maharashtra home minister RR Patil does! He catches criminals and saves women from being raped and abused the same way Inspector Dhoble does!

Image

Before you jump to conclusions or wonder who this new inspector is, let us tell you that he’s sharper than Dhoble and as agile than actor Prabhudeva. What! He dances? Yes, he dances as if his feet were on fire!

Yeda Patil is none other than Sachiin Joshi, who plays the character of a whimsical cop to the hilt in Mumbai Mirror releasing this week.

Image

With a grand premiere at Mumbai’s PVR, the film directed by Ankush Bhatt, is already garnering rave reviews for performances, choreography, music, the cinematography, as well as some daring action sequences picturised on the lead actor Sachiin. Lets see what the future holds in store for this latest cop caper.

Yeda Patil to take forward RR Patil’s anti-dance bars mission!

As if to compliment Maharashtra Home Minister R.R.Patil’s drive to ban dance bars in Mumbai and other parts of the state, an eccentric police inspector Yeda Patil is all set to wreck havoc on the business, claiming that it promotes drugs and prostitution.

Image

Before you jump about who Yeda Patil is, let us tell you that he is none other than the whimsical cop played by Sachiin Joshi in his forthcoming feature film Mumbai Mirror.

Image

R.R.Patil, who has long-crusaded against dance bars, was recently quoted saying, “The decision (to ban dance bars) was taken to prevent the younger generation from getting spoiled by the dance bar culture.”

Image

“The entire system was getting corrupt because of it and the business had become synonymous with crime,” the Home Minister had added.

Sachiin Joshi echoes the fiery minister’s righteous sentiment. “In Mumbai Mirror, we have explored the real reason behind why dance bars in Mumbai were shut. What a lot of people don’t know is that there was a lot of drug dealing and prostitution which was rampant in these bars.”

Image

“If you are looking for similarities, then you can say that like the minister, Yeda Patil has his own way of doing things,” informs Sachiin. “But while R.R.Patil did everything in accordance with the law, Yeda takes matters in his own hands.”

Sherlyn Chopra turns Santa Claus for street kids!

As if readying herself for the cover of the world’s most famous men’s magazine Playboy and bagging a role in Rupesh Paul’s international motion picture Kamasutra 3D wasn’t enough; firebrand Sherlyn Chopra donned a Santa Claus costume to gift and entertain street kids and underprivileged children this week.

Image

Joining hands with an enterprising NGO called The Ray of Hope, Sherlyn spent some heart-rendering moments with kids and even sang Jingle Bells on popular demand.

Image

“The best gift one could offer underprivileged children is stability and that can only be achieved by the mighty force of education,” said Sherlyn.

“In the days to come, I plan to work alongside The Ray of Hope NGO to provide better food, shelter, clothing and education to the kids they take care of,” she informed.

Image

When we called her publicist Dale Bhagwagar and inquired about the absence of media at the event, he remarked, “Charity is second nature to Sherlyn, but it’s also a bit personal for her.”

“Though I do wish to call the press at least for the sake of promoting the causes, Sherlyn normally requests me to skip the media for her charity events, unless it’s a necessity,” he added.

Birthday girl Sambhavna Seth rocks 12:12:12 in pomp and style!

Sambhavna Seth cares two hoots for the disastrous predictions of Nostradamus, and that was proved beyond doubt this week on December 12, 2012.

ImageImageImageImage

The spunk chick of Bollywood hopped, skipped, danced and romanced like a crazy kangaroo princess at her 12:12:12 birthday bash at Club Escape, Mumbai, organized by SOS Nitelife.

ImageImageImageImageImage

No! The world didn’t come to an end; neither did the music stop. It just rocked, as the who’s who of scandal-land, grooved and moved their hips with the birthday hottie at the happening discotheque, almost like wild yet graceful waves at sea.

ImageImageImageImageImage

The wacky fun and frolic indulgers included names like Kashmera Shah, Sara Khan, Vindu Dara Singh and his wife Dina, Kamal R Khan, Raju Srivastav, Rohit Verma, Ravi Kissen, Aditya Singh Rajput, Monica Bedi, Bobby Darling, Pretti Jaiin, Harvinder, Chand Seth, Lina Ingle, Shradha Sharma, Suneel Khosla, Abhishek Awasthi, Mamta ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’ Sharma and Saroj Khan.

ImageImageImageImage

But what caught our naughty eye is a dude called Avinash Dwivedi, who was getting special attention from the birthday girl! We don’t know yet, how special he is to Sambhavna, but we sure witnessed some great chemistry!

Sherlyn Chopra more desirable than Katie Holmes, Kate Moss and Bipasha Basu!

Competing with the likes of worldwide stunners like Beyonce, Rihanna, Michelle Obama and Kate Middleton, India’s only erotica icon and Playboy cover girl Sherlyn Chopra, has bagged the 63rd spot on the list of Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2013, in a poll on the international website AskMen.

Image

Surpassing names like Rachel Weisz, Tina Fey, Katie Holmes, Kate Moss, Kim Kardashian, Charlize Theron and India’s Bipasha Basu (who bagged the 67th spot), Sherlyn scored up.

The site seemed floored with her, stating “while some of her more traditional countrymen chastised her for the bold move (to pose for Playboy), Sherlyn stood firm, posed for the iconic mag and proudly took her place in history.”

Image

“Around 20 million readers are said to have voted for this poll, which makes it a list that truly reflects who men from all over the world really celebrate,” noted Sherlyn’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar.

What’s more! The list is also one of the few which refrains from picking names for looks, face value and popularity. Instead the readers have chosen more wisely, going with women who represent the complete package of beauty, brains, ambition and charm.

Image

No doubt, being chosen as a woman of substance is more awesome than just being a pretty face or a hot bod; and Sherlyn must feel proud of it. Or would it be more appropriate to say that she has begun making her country proud of her.

Apart from being on the cover of Playboy next year, Sherlyn may also set foot at the Cannes Film Festival; playing the female lead in Rupesh Paul’s international motion picture Kamasutra 3D.

Playboy kitten Sherlyn Chopra turns India’s favourite cover girl

Even before she appears on the cover of the world’s most famous men’s magazine Playboy early next year, India’s only erotica icon Sherlyn Chopra has emerged a favourite with Indian magazines for their bold cover stories.

Image

Charming the social media as well as the fourth estate, with her intellect and wicked wit, the sex kitten has been clawing teen minds and hitting the headlines faster than you can say Twitter!

After being featured on covers of The Week, Fantasy, GR8, Health & Nutrition, Model n Trends, Perfect Woman and Man’s World, Sherlyn has dazzled the cover of the December issue of lifestyle magazine Fusion Life released this week; with a raunchy photograph of her climbing… err… sorry guys… a chair!

Image

The magazine which terms her ‘The Playboy Indian Goddess’ has Sherlyn showing off her shapely legs through floral laced-stockings in a smoldering-hot cover picture that has already attracted hundreds of crazy fan comments on social media in just two days.

“Brand Sherlyn is a bit like the real Sherlyn Chopra. It has the audacity to be unstoppable with phoenix-like qualities,” is how her publicist Dale Bhagwagar describes her new-age media romp.

Maybe he is right! Cause apart from being on the cover of Playboy next year, Sherlyn may also set foot at the Cannes Film Festival; playing the female lead in Rupesh Paul’s international motion picture Kamasutra 3D; a film the publicist recommended her for.
