Special children from 25 schools in Mumbai gathered together on the International Day of Disabled Persons. Bollywood stars Kajol and Tanisha were also present to make the occasion special for these children.
Kajol and sister Tanishaa inaugurated the special exhibition and encouraged these children, and applauded them for every effort of theirs.
Kajol said, “We bring the limelight to them. They are the real heroes. I would tell everyone to come here and see these children and appreciate their work.
Each child is special because every kid has the potential to be great, every kid has the potential to be what he or she wants to be today, there so much potential to see here and I am really happy to be here,”
Tanisha gave her own reasons as to why children are such amazing people to interact with.
“When you get a compliment from a child that your film is good, you really believe it because they give the real reaction,” she said.
Both the sisters were very open about their admiration for the hand made products made by these children which were put for display.
I guess these children will never forget this day in their lives.

Shadid And Kareena Romancing This Valentine
Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor are no longer together but next Valentine’s Day (Feb 14) they’re definitely ‘Milenge Milenge’.
Hmmmm now don’t start thinking too much Milenge Milenge is the title of their long-delayed romance directed by Satish Kaushik, which producer Boney Kapoor has decided to release on the day. Shahid and Kareena coming together instead of going different ways is kinda surprising.
“So be it. Perhaps it was destined that the most romantic film featuring Shahid and Kareena would come only after their relationship is over,’ Boney told reporters.
Rumours state that this movie is brought to the surface due to the success of “ Jab We Met “. Also, rumors have surfaced that the lead pair is not interested in dubbing for the film.
‘They haven’t given me any indication that they’ve any problem with dubbing for the film,’ says Boney,
Boney has even got the film pass the censor board. ‘We’ve got the scratch-print censored. And all we need now is for Shahid and Kareena to dub.’
Director Satish Kaushik has instead questioned the reporters “As to why should Shahid and Kareena have any problems dubbing it?’
‘In fact Shahid lives in my building. I’ve asked him about the dubbing and he’s fine by it. And Kareena I’ve known since she came into the industry. I gave her first big hit ‘Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai’. Unlike that film, ‘Milenge Milenge’ isn’t a southern remake. I’ve entered a new phase of making films based on original scripts. My next release ‘Tere Sang’, about teen pregnancy, is also an original,’ says Satish.

Salman Interfering In Katrina’s Movie
There are rumors that Salman Khan is interfering with girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s latest flick, ‘Welcome’.
Actually, these rumors are false and are creating lot of problems between the couple and also for the director.
“There have been rumours about Salman being unhappy with Katrina wearing a short skirt and all that, but those are only talks. Salman is a good friend. I am sure he would have come to me if he had any problem,” clarifies Anees adding, “I have worked with Salman in ‘No Entry’.
When he didn’t interfere in that film, where is the question of him butting in ‘Welcome’? He did come on the sets once but that was because I wanted to narrate a story to him. He had lunch with the rest of the cast, and there was no problem at all. I don’t know why all this talk has started.”
Wonder why gossip mongers spread false alarm all the time and create problems for these stars. After all stars are also humans and they too need their privacy.

Aziz Producing Movie With Shahid Instead Of Sharukh
Aziz Mirza’s next project will be shot in a foreign location, with Shahid as the lead. “My new film, for which we’ve found no suitable title as yet, is set in a foreign city. I made a conscious decision to move out of Mumbai this time,” Aziz told the reporters. There have been rumors all around tinsel town about how Aziz and his protege Shah Rukh have drifted and separated apart.
Aziz is genuinely surprised and shocked at the rumors.
“Not at all. Juhi (Chawla) and Shah Rukh are like my own children. How can I move away from them? The only reason why Shah Rukh is not in my new film is because this role required a young boy, just out of college.”
“In fact the minute Juhi heard the role she said she could see a younger Shah Rukh in it. That’s how Shahid Kapoor came in.” Well all the very best Shahid, we wish you too become an overnight star.

Sharukh Termed as King Of ” Bollywood”
Who is the star of Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan or Akshay Kumar? Many found this question to be very dumb –“It is Shah Rukh, of course!’’ they said.
There was online voting done and Sharukh did win the poll. This was not uprising as it was something expected.
Shah Rukh Khan did win the poll and that didn’t surprise us. What did was the large number of readers who voted for Akshay Kumar too! Looks like he is next on the league.
The main reason Sharukh was voted was because of his versatility which spans across genres such as romance, drama, comedy and action - not unlike Amitabh Bachchan who ruled Bollywood in the 70s and 80s.

Sushmitha Sen Jacked Up By The Moral Police
Former Miss Universe and Bollywood diva Sushmita Sen has landed herself in trouble. Her forthrightness and frank attitude has landed her in a bush of thorns.
Ooops now you must be wondering why and what must have happened that the lady divine is in such a trouble.
Well, its because the lady expressed out her view on “Pre-marital” in a TV interview stating “No Indian has chastity or virginity any more”. These comments over pre-marital sex didn’t go down well with the legal authorities and moral police, who felt that such comments could affect the morality of India.
But then sush was only giving her opinion, and the Indian constitution states that every individual has the liberty to express his/her views.
Her comments have upset moral authorities so much that Madras High Court has issued a notice against her.
The petition sought to prosecute the actress under IPC Sections 292, 292B, 293 and 294 ( all pertaining to obscenity in print, words and songs), 499 and 500 ( which relate to defamation), besides Sections 3, 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act and 2, 3 and 6 of the Young Persons Harmful Publication Act.
Well, people don’t you think everybody has the right to express their views and this is not the first time that film stars have been attacked in Tamil Nadu by the moral police. Last year actors Khushboo, Shilpa Shetty and Reema Sen had been dragged to court.
Everybody has a right to do what they want to do, unless it drastically harms someone.
The moral authorities should be looking into more serious issues and concerns which affect the development of the country rather than pestering people like this.

Ranbir Talks About Saawariya
“Saawariya “ brought in two new faces, Ranbir Kappor and Sonam Kapoor,both these newcomers were kids of superstars. This fact added more glamour to the movie. There was lot of publicity and hype generated for this movie.
Both the actors performed beautifully but unfortunately the movie did not turn out well at the box office.
Actor Ranbir who has stolen millions of hearts talks about his experience about the movie stating “I had seen Devdas and was a fan of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, so when I returned from acting school in America, I asked him to let me assist him. His first reaction was, “you have actor written all over you. Why do you want to direct?” I insisted that I wanted to learn something before I entered films and that’s how I got close to him.
We share a good rapport and he tells me many things and shares his thoughts and ideas with me. I knew he was working on some scripts, three actually and one day he invited me to read a script on his laptop. He left me alone but kept popping into the room to see if I had finished. It was such a sensitive great script that I got up leapt at him and hugged him. I couldn’t believe that he was offering a debutant actor such a lovely character to play.”
Well, working with Sanjay Leela Bansali indeed must have been a great experience.
We wish both Sonam and Ranbir many more wonderful experiences and hits in the future.

Deepika Padukone charges One Crore
Bollywood crop of directors and now we learn that the lass is demanding a whopping Rs one crore fee for each film that she is signing!
If both the news makes you raise your eye-brows, we have more for you. We are told that when Rakesh Roshan decided to take up the new venture, he had thought of casting a more popular face as the film’s hero.
However, as it is basically a heroine-oriented film, no actor worth his name or value was willing to oblige the senior Roshan. Hence, he had to settle on Sharman Joshi.
Meanwhile, industry sources say that despite being a heroine-oriented film, the venture may prove to be detrimental for Deepika at this nascent stage of her career.
They argue that heroine-oriented films are neither given much importance by the Bollywood crowd, nor are they great crowd pullers at the box office.
Deepika Padukone Photo Gallery [ Click Here ]
Interestingly, these days even the women in the audience are not too fond of heroine-oriented films.
Now what remains to be seen is how the new celluloid pair fares at the box office.
The audience as well as those in the industry not only has great expectations from Rakesh Roshan, whose all previous films have been super-duper hits, but also on Deepika.
We earnestly hope and pray that this film also proves to be a boon for Deepika, for Bollywood has the unique reputation of elevating a non-entity on Cloud 9 in one movie and then tumbling them to obscurity in another.
We sincerely hope that this does not happen to Deepika.

Saif Ali Khan jumps from a 22 storied building
Saif Ali Khan has turned action king for his forthcoming Tips film RACE. It is a known fact that actors have been using body doubles for doing complicated and dangerous stunts but Saif refused to do so.
RACE is an action film directed by the duo Abbas-Mustan. According to Abbas-Mustan "RACE being an action film has many dangerous stunts in it and all the stunts had to be shot in such a way that it looked dangerous as well as real." In one of the scenes Saif had to jump down from a 22 storied building and Saif refused to use a body double for the scene. He wanted to do the scene himself.
Though Saif was tied to a harness it was very dangerous as it was not a child's play to jump down from a 22 storied building. Says producer Ramesh Taurani, "We are thankful to Saif for doing this stunt. He did this not just once but thrice just to okay the shot. Everybody on the sets would get frightened and our hearts would stop beating as soon as he jumped down."
All the necessary precautions were taken while shooting the scenes. A doctor and an ambulance were kept ready on the sets as a part of precautionary measures. Hats off to Saif for being such courageous person and doing such difficult stunts.

Mallika no more a sex-kitten!
Believe it or not, sex kitten Mallika Sherawat is all set to step into Madhubala's shoes for her soon to be released comedy flick 'Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam' produced by Venus Records and Tapes Pvt Ltd.
The film has got two things in similar to the classic 'Mughal-E-Azam'. Apart from its title, there is a song 'Pyar kiya to darna kya.'
Written by Sanjay Chhel and composed by Anu Malik, the song is in a completely different format.
According to Anu Malik, "The song ‘Pyar kiya to darna kya’ is one of the greatest songs in the history of Indian films. No one can ever make such a beautiful song, nor can anyone copy Madhubala or even forget her performance in the song."
As the film is a comedy flick, the song will be picturized as one of the stage performances done by the cast of the film.
The film’s producer Ratan Jain says, "The song has been picturised on Mallika and though the song is based on the classic song 'Pyar kiya to darna kya', it will be in a completely different tune.
Anu Malik adds, "As it is a comedy film and the cast play stage performers the song has many funny lines in it and is not meant to hurt anyone."
Well, even as we are waiting to see Mallika do a Madhubala in the new song 'Pyar kiya to darna kya' in a comic style, one wonders how many kisses will be there in the movie.
And if the director has provided enough clothing to the actress to cover herself up decently on the screen as the legendary Madhubala always did.

Vidya clears air about Shahid
As Vidya Balan turned a year older on New Year's day she brought in her birthday the way she liked best… in the company of her family.
She was In Delhi visiting her sister. Her parents joined the sisters. And Vidya had herself what she considers a perfect birthday.
"I've great faith in myself. I'm happy to get what I do.Of course there're tough times. But God has brought me to them he'll take me through them. That's what keeps me going. Last year there were lessons to be learnt.
Professionally I've learnt to say no to projects I don't want to do. I'm no longer apologetic about voicing my opinion.I guess I've become more confident and therefore assertive. At times I didn't know how to say no to a filmmaker.
I'd wonder how they'd react to me rejecting their creativity. Now that painful process has become less difficult. If I say no to a project I don't see that as a rejection of an inividual's creativity. I just see the project as as being non-relatable with me."
In 2008 Vidya is looking at something different to do. "At the same time I want to have fun. My two releases in the first-half this year Halla Bol and Lucky Charm are very different from one another. For this year I've only signed a Bengali film so far.I like where I am."
She laughs her musical laughter when her Lucky Charm hero Shahid is mentioned. "I've been linked with practically every co-star I've worked with.
I get along famously with all of them. And I am single. So people are looking for masala to make my life and theirs, more interesting," she laughs heartily.
"Spice apart, I got along very well with Shahid during our schedule in Toronto. People just wanted to say there was more to our dosti than meet the eye. Honestly even I like to gossip. Most of us enjoy it.

Someone must have reported that we laughed a lot together on the set. It's like saying, 'If an actress gives a really good performance she must be having an affair with the director.'
Likewise if Shahid and I were having so much fun we must be a couple."
So what is Vidya's rapport with Shahid? "The way Aziz Uncle (director Aziz Mirza)'s team worked was very very friendly. Everyone in the unit went for dinner together.
All of us went for walks together. I guess the two of us were high-profile. So….But Shahid never shared confidences with me."

What about Vidya playing hostess to Shahid's screenings of Jab We Met?
Vidya groans loudly. "Oh God! I went to one screening of Jab We Met. Over there I met my Heyy Babyy writer Milap Jhaveri and had chai nashta with him.
The next day when reports of Shahid and me came out Milap wondered how this could be true when I wasn't anywhere near Shahid throughout the evening."
She was In Delhi visiting her sister. Her parents joined the sisters. And Vidya had herself what she considers a perfect birthday.
"I've great faith in myself. I'm happy to get what I do.Of course there're tough times. But God has brought me to them he'll take me through them. That's what keeps me going. Last year there were lessons to be learnt.

Deepika Padukone may tie knots with Yuvraj Singh in 2 Years
NEW DELHI: This could turn out to be the love story of 2008. 'Mr Sixer' Yuvraj Singh is dating Bollywood's latest heartthrob Deepika Padukone, sources close to the families say.
The sources, however, scotched media reports that the model-turned-actress had been invited to Australia by the cricketer, currently on tour Down Under.
Deepika, they insisted, was in Sydney shooting for Yash Raj Films' next venture being directed by Siddharth Anand of 'Tara Rum Pum' fame, in which she is paired opposite Ranbir 'Saa-wariya' Kapoor.
A friend of the Padukones said, "Deepika is in Australia in her own capacity and the India-Australia Test match just happens to be taking place around the same time. But one thing is sure — Yuvraj and Deepika are dating each other."
Meanwhile, a source close to the Singh family told on Friday, "The two are very close to each other. In two years' time, if things go well, marriage could be on the cards. But right now, both of them are focused on their respective professions."
Incidentally, Deepika will be celebrating her 22nd birthday on Saturday, the crucial fourth day of the ongoing second Test match, and the pair is expected to be together for the occasion.
Earlier, Deepika's name had been linked with India's ODI captain, M S Dhoni. He had even invited the actress for the one-off Twenty20 match against Australia in Mumbai last year.
But lately, she has been seen with the dashing southpaw. Deepika attended Yuvraj's birthday party at Enigma, J W Marriott, on December 12 and that was right after the India-Pakistan Test match in Bangalore, where Yuvi struck a crackling 169.
In November, they were also seen together after the last match of the India-Pakistan one-day series.
The southpaw has run up a string of low scores against Ponting's Australia. In fact, he looked both ungainly and out-of-sorts on Friday, and fell cheaply to Brett Lee for a score of 12.
After India had lost the first Test at Melbourne without much of a fight, Indian team manager Lalchand Rajput was quoted in the media saying that senior players were upset over Yuvraj's attitude. The comments were later denied, both by Rajput and the team management.
