Katrina Kaif who was rumored to be manhandled by boyfriend Salman Khan has denied that any such thing ever happened. However people bought the news already and Salman’s previous reputation makes him appear as the guy who beats his girlfriends. Well usually Salman beats his girlfriends when they are about to leave him for greener grasses. So if there is any truth in the rumor then Katrina is either sky rocketing towards the new peaks or packing back to London (or where ever she came from). However, chances are that Katrina’s career is going to climb new heights, after all she was most successful lead actoress last year. Even though she did nothing more than giggling and jumping in these movies but well she is pretty what else you can ask for?

In a recent interview with the Business Of Cinema Katrina told about signing a three movie contract with Studio 18. She also talked about how her new changed image in Bollywood and said she feels that people are now showing her more acceptance. She also revealed that she has nearly doubled her prices. It is also reported that Katrina will appear in Kabir Khan’s next movie which is produced by Yash Raj Films.

I was not able to find out any news of her getting married to Salman Khan. It seems just like we talked in a previous post that Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif are very much a fake couple, they are more fake than the most fake couple of the industry, that is Kareena and Saif. Definitely Katrina has just begun her career and she sees no reason whatsoever to change her career plans to meet Salman Khan’s desperate desire to settle down. Is she going to break our hunky Salman Khan’s heart? Well yes and no. Yes she is going to leave Salman Khan very soon and no she does not have Salman’s heart she was just playing along to help Salman improve his image in media after the so called illegal hunting controversy. He also needed a girlfriend that is presentable to media at the time when his ex girlfriend Aishwarya Rai was getting married to the Bachchan and entire world was talking about this wedding and how Aishwarya ditched Salman Khan.

Upen Patel is one of my personal favorite Indian Bollywood hunks. But, unfortunately Upen is all muscles and no brains at all. Who cares if he can not act well? At least I don’t.  As long as he is shirtless wearing swim trunks I am all OK to watch the entire movie). It seems that our sexy desi male model is having tough time getting new projects. He is capable of staying alive in the gossip columns but even then no major project or role for him. He recently had differences with the director of his upcoming movie One Two Three. It is rumored that the director Ashwin Dheer was so fed up of Upen that he completely edited out an entire item song of Upen from the movie. Now this is a really terrible news for all of us Upen Patel fans, we might have watched the movie in hope of seeing Upen Patel’s naked body. Ashwin wasn’t satisfied enough with this he took one more step and humiliated Upen publicly on the occasion of the music launch of the movie. Ashwin Dheer invited entire cast on the stage and completely ignored Upen who was standing among the crowd. Upen expressed his anger by telling that he was shell shocked and humiliated. Upen blames Ashwin’s attitude as the prejudice towards non-filmi self made new actors.


Upen also caused trouble on the sets of his another movie, Money Hai Tu Honey Hai. It is reported that Upen teared his shirt in frustration and anger over the designers assigned to dress him up for the movie. Upen said that the designer duo often picked up jeans and tshirts from cheap stalls for Upen to wear and most of the time they would simple suggest him to go shirtless (Upen baby you should have considered their advice there is not much you have to offer than your bare chest scenes). The producer then hired a new designer exclusively for Upen Patel.

It is also rumored that he has ditched girlfriend Shamita Singha and now seeing Gauhar Khan. (Who the hell is Gauhar Khan?) A simple Google search revealed that she is a famous model. Apparently Upen met her during a fashion show and then there were sparks of attraction on both ends. We wish Upen best of luck but we also think that he should concentrate more on his Hindi lessons and acting skills.

Indian Premier League is going to change the cricket, not only in India but everywhere in the world. Though I doubt anyone would be able to get such huge money involved in the game. It is one of those things that can only happen in India. From celebrities, Industrialists and politicians to a common man, every one loves cricket and there is no doubt that it is the most popular sports in world’s second most populous country. Indian Premier League would change the way cricketers thought of glory, fame and money.

Cricket had a reputation of being a gentleman’s game. With the end of colonialization, new cricketing nations appeared on the cricket horizons. At that time it was considered as a threat to the decency and seriousness of Cricket as a sport. But new nations only brought fame, glory and money to Cricket. Now there is so much involved in Twenty20 Indian Premier League that it got ICCI worried. They are worried about match fixing, corruption, and of course their authority on the cricket.

Gary Kirsten newly appointed coach of India’s national cricket team told CricInfo that IPL brings new challenges. He is not interested in joining the new IPL twenty20 era as yet. He said he is more focused on his new assignment of training the Indian Cricket Team.

Saroj Khan has won another Filmfare award for best choreography of the song Barso Re Megha Re in the movie Guru. I was looking around the web to find out a biography or something of this legendary Indian choreographer and was surprised to find out that there is no decent pages on the web about her. She has won 8 filmfare awards and has worked for decades as the leading dance director in bollywood and still no one bothered to tell her story?

Saroj Khan’s real name is Nirmala Sadhu Khan. Born in 1950 to Kishanchand Sadhu Singh and Noni. Saroj’s parents migrated from Pakistan to India during the partition in 1947. Saroj worked as a child actor in the movie Tarana at that time she was only three years old. You will not find her name in the cast but if you watch the movie she has played the little Shayama sitting on the moon and singing.

At the age of thirteen Saroj Khan married B. Sohanlal who was a well known dance master at that time. It is not clear why Saroj married him. Sohanlal was 41 yeard old and already married with 4 children. Saroj was too young and may be it was her parents who made her do that. At the age of fourteen she gave birth to her first child Raju (Raju Khan is now a famous choreographer). In 1965 she separated from Sohanlal, but kept working as his assistant. They reunited again when Sohanlal had an heart attack. Saroj Khan had another child from Sohan Lal, her daughter Kuku. Sohanlal then moved to Madras leaving behind Saroj and two children.

Saroj then worked as dance master for many movies but still she was not a well known celebrity. At that time it was not unusual for dance masters to go completely un-noticed by popular media and audiences. Saroj got the real taste of the fame when she worked as dance director for Subhash Ghai’s movie Hero. And then there was no looking back. She worked with the top brass of actors and actoresses, directors and producers. The dances she choreographed became a part of Indian cultural subconciousness. She directed the dances of Madhuri for movies Beta, Khal Nayak, Ram Lakhan, Sailab and Tezab. She worked on Sri Devi in movies such as Chalbaz, Chandni, Nagina. She directed Aishawarya in Devdas and Guru.

She has created the most wonderful dances of all times. Whenever I watch these songs, I want to dance and her work fills my heart with joy. I love these songs particularly:

1. Choli Ke Peechay Kiya Hai (Khal Nayak)
2. Hum Ko Aaj Kal Hai Intezar (Sailab)
3. O Ram ji Bara Dukh Diya Teray Lakhan ney (Ram Lakhan)
4. Dhak Dhak Karnay Laga (Beta)
5. Katay Nahi Kat te yeh din yeh rat (Mr. India)
6. Najanay Kahan Say Aayi Hai (Chalbaz)

This small biography of Saroj Khan is composed from the bits she described herself here.

Ok here it is we give you a chance to vote for your favorite Indian Premier League team. Debate why this particular team is your favorite and their chances of winning the league title. Do you think that the teams with the most expansive cricket players and highest franchise bids are going to give better performances than others? I personally believe that Shahrukh Khan’s Kolkata team is going to perform much better. I have the feeling that Shahrukh Khan with his charismatic personality would motivate the team to win the title. It looks like he is really interested in Cricket and knows the game better than the other people sponsoring teams.

In response to Zee network’s desire to create their own sporting content by organizing Indian Cricket League, BCCI decided to organize their own Indian Premier League.

The King of Indian Film Industry Shahrukh Khan decided to sponsor Kolkatta’s team which has resulted into termendous media response for Indian Premier League. Soon Priety Zinta with her boyfriend Ness Wadia joined the league as sponsor of Mohali. Reliance Industries’ Mukesh Ambani is sponsoring Mumbai’s team with the highest bid of 111.9 Million US Dollars.

This was quite enough for creating magnificent market buzz and spark interest among cricket crazy Indians. But then there was a bidding by sponsors to select players for their teams. Chennai made a bid of 1,500,000 US Dollars for India’s star cricketer Mahinder Singh Dhoni. Australia’s Andrew Symonds is part of Hyderabad’s team with the bidding amount of 1,350,000 US Dollars. Irfan Pathan and Yuvraj singh will be playing for Priety Zinta’s Mohali Team.

The groups investing huge amounts in the league’s cricketing event surely recognize the event as a great opportunity for them. Not to mention that the higher stakes involved in the process mean great mind blowing battles between the teams.
