Salman Khan threw a big party on the occassion of his girlfriend Katrina Kaif’s birthday on 16th July. The party has become the talk of the town for three reasons. First, Salman Khan proposed Katrina Kaif. Secondly, after a very long time there was an event where the media saw the three Khans (Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan) of bollywood under one roof. Thirdly, some Mumbai based tabloids reported of a fight between Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan.

It is said that Salman Khan was poking fun at Shahrukh Khan. Salman joked about Shahrukh Khan’s recent flops but what made Shahrukh Khan loose temper was when Salman Khan said that “Shahrukh Khan is a superstar who is Paanchvi Fail”. This was pointed towards Shahrukh Khan’s unsuccessful television show “Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass se Tez hain”. Shahrukh Khan said something in return and then there was a full blown verbal fight between the stars. Shahrukh’s wife Gauri took him out of the party when it looked like that the two actors are going to attack each other physically.

We don’t know how much of this is truth. SAWF’s Vijainder K Thakur talked to his journalist friends who were present at the party. He writes:

a surprising fact about the spat is that no journalist seems to have witnessed it, and there were a lot of them there!

Salman Khan has reacted to the media reports of the fight on his blog. But in his response he neither confirmed nor refused that any such thing happened at the party. However, he is angry over the media reports. In his response he compared the journalists with street dogs. Salman’s girlfriend Katrina and Shahrukh Khan were questioned by media about the fight but they did not comment.

It looks like Salman Khan has also started blogging. Its not his personal blog actually the blog is focused on his show “Dus Ka Dum“. There you can read Salman Khan talking about marriage:

Some say that marriage is like Gorilla Warfare… spouses attack each other and hide behind mountains of their pride, prejudice and weakness. They say that observing marriages is what gave ideas of developing Gorilla Warfare techniques. It is said that Marilyn Monroe approached Bernard Shaw for marriage in the hope that their children will have her beauty and his brains. Bernard Shaw declined for fear that the children might end up having his face and her brains! I had a similar fear once about a similar relationship.

I feel that Salman Khan’s blog really has the personal touch. In another post he talks about his charitable foundation “Being Human” and I mean seriously there is this sincerity and genuineness in his writing that you would love to read more. And if text is not enough you can watch Dus Ka Dam videos, pictures from Das ka Dum. I was looking for the pictures of Aamir Khan and Imran Khan. Some of Desi Galaxy readers love to compare Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan and the ultimate comparison of all Shahrukh khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Reading such comments I have started to think like my readers and now when I compare Salman Khan with Shahrukh Khan I think Salman is going up though Shahrukh still is the winner the King Khan. But Salman Khan has totally rebranded himself since his break up with Aishwarya Rai. He is now much more media savvy.

I just learnt from Rediff that Salman Khan has finally proposed Katrina Kaif. It is reported that Salman Khan proposed Katrina at the party he gave to celebrate Katrina’s birthday on 16 July. It was a grand event as the cream of bollywood was invited. Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were among the guests. However, It is not yet confirmed that whether Katrina has said “Yes” or not. Or may be it was just a publicity stunt? I have doubted Salman Katrina relationship since day one. I don’t think that any girl would be stupid enough to get married at the peak of her career.

Nearly 43 years old, Salman Khan is Bollywood’s most eligible bachelor since a long time now. He has dated several co-stars but all his relationships ended tragically. Most often his girlfriends claimed that Salman is a violent person who does not mind beating his girl friends. He dated Aishwarya Rai for a few years and it was rumored that they are getting married soon. But that relationship ended terribly. Aishwarya’s parents accused Salman Khan for harassing their daughter. They even filed a police complain against him. We have covered Salman Khan Aishwarya Rai relationship in our Aishwarya Rai biography section.

Most Salman fans believe that Salman is an innocent lover boy who just can’t find the right girl. Most of them think that the cute and innocent Katrina Kaif is the right girl for Salman Khan.

While the world was anxiously looking for Harman Baweja’s Love Story 2050 and waiting for the arrival of a new superstar in the bollywood, Imran Khan made his debut and has won the hearts of the audiences. Imran Khan does not have the muscles, he is not very tall, but he is really good looking. Apart from looks he has the boyish charms and he knows how to act to win the hearts of romance crazy audiences.

Imran Khan is the grand son of Nasir Hussein the legendary Director/Producer and he is nephew of Aamir Khan who also produced the movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Imran studied film making at the New York University, in a recent interview he told that he wanted to be a director. Currently he is 25 years old, and a promising career is waiting for him a head.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, is a story of a group of teenagers where Jai (Imran Khan) and Aditi (Genelia D’souza) are the best friends. All the friends in their gang think that Jai and Aditi are in love, they looked perfect with eachother and they spent so much time with each other. So every one thought that they are going to get married after college. But they were wrong, Aditi and Jai were not in love, they were just best friends. As the story unfolds Aditi and Jay learn what the true love is and how they know that they are in love?

You would think that this is another bollywood romantic comedy with a campus backdrop. But honestly it is not just another such movie. The campus backdrop disappears in the first twenty minutes of the movie. This movie is about young people, made by young people for the young audiences. The music is outstanding it is different and hip. I loved the song Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Mayn and Pappo Can’t Dance. Choreography is brilliant the dances are joyful just like the youth itself should be. The cinematography is great specially the way it captures the lives of the young and the Mumbai Metro, it beautifully captures the buggies, the sculptures the victorian and anglo-indian architectural heritage of Mumbai. Every one acted really well but Imran Khan was like above all. He portrayed the character of Jai so beautifully that you are going to fall in love with Jai. And as Aditi says in the movie “Woh Itna Pyara Hai”.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is also the directorial debut of Abbas Tyrewala. It is a light hearted movie. The comic treatment of characters such as Jai’s mother played by Ratna Pathak Shah, Amar Singh Rathore (Jai’s father) played by Naseeruddin Sha, Inspector Waghmare (Paresh Rawal), Baghero and Bhaloo bhayya (Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan) was amazingly well done. It is not laugh your heart out comedy but its going to make you smile, tickle your heart and make you fall in love. The movie comes as a breeze of fresh air, it is different but not too much. It is unique but not too much, its fun but not cheap and its cute.

Imran Khan – Interview at Hindustan Times

Raakhi Sawant is going to host a show on television and her first guest would be none other than Aamir Khan. I am quite surprised, Aamir Khan is famous for staying away from interviews and media. Talking to Rediff Aamir told that Rakhi Sawant wrote him a letter requesting him to appear on her show’s first episode. “It touched my heart” said Aamir, “I have seen her many times on television and I like her spirit”.

Now this is an amazing and surprisingly new step forward for Rakhi Sawant. She is always under estimated just because she is straight forward, bindas and illiterate. But there should be no doubt left in any mind that she is really talented. She has proved herself in various reality shows where judges and masses lauded her performances. Rakhi Sawant is probably the only item girl ever invited to Koffee with Karan, her talent was recognized by Director/Producer Rakesh Roshan who casted her for an item song in his movie Krazy 4. Now she is going to host her own reality show on Zoom TV.

While talking to Karan on Koffee with Karan Rakhi admitted that she thinks Mallika Sherawat is sexier than her. Rakhi’s outfits for her new show are designed by Ashley Rebello who has designed Mallika Sherawat’s outfits. According to Rebello, Rakhi asked him to design her outfits like those of Mallika Sherawat. The show is going to be aired on July 14. It is said that Rakhi’s been trained by Zoom’s team to improve her English and to make her appear presentable but yet very sexy.

Here is a video clip of Aamir Khan and Rakhi Sawant.

You may call him a plagiarist but I am a huge fan of Priyadarshan, the director who gave us hindi movies like Gardish, Virasat and Hera Pheri. If you compare Gardish and Virasat to Hera Pheri and Muskurahat you would be truly surprised to find out how versatile he is. But it seems like he has now focused on comedy movies only. Thats fine by me, I love all his comedy movies and I was anxiously waiting for Mere Baap Pehle Aap. It looked like a typical Priyadarshan movie with his usual team of actors Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Om puri and Rajpal Yadav.

I am disappointed. The movie is just below average, you won’t regret that you saw this movie but you are not going to add it up to your list of favorite Priyadarshan comedies. First of all the movie has no story at all, the plot was loose and it looked like that Priyadarsha tried to put together three movies in one go. At first there is a story of a loving father and an authoritarian son, the father often puts his son in uncomfortable situations where he is humiliated and embarrassed by his father’s adventures. He loves his father but he thinks that his father’s friend Om puri is spoiling his father. Now I am not a film maker but I feel that if Priyadarshan had worked on this plot line alone he might have come out with one hilarious movie.

But there is another parallel story of a girl who makes prank calls to Akshay Khanna and claims to be his wife. The girl’s role is played by Genelia D’Souza. Genelia is a Tamil super star. Her over joyed expressions were a bit annoying. You would think that these prank calls would develop into a non stop series of laughs. But unfortunately this plot ends too soon.

Now you start to get worried, Does this movie have any story at all? you wonder. A new plot line begins where the Father finds his long lost lover. Now the son tries to get his father married. This plot works out in next fifteen to twenty minutes and the father is all set to marry the woman he loved. Now what? Priyadarshan then injects a new character to create a twist in the story during last few minutes and then all goes well and film ends with the main characters living happily ever after.

Still there are some moments in the movie which are enjoyable. Priyadarshan is really good at creating memorable and strong characters. In this movie he brings us Inspector Bhawani a woman police inspector. Who often finds the father in humiliating situations and often takes him to the police station on charges of obsene acts at public places. The role of Inspector Bhawani is played by Archana Puran Singh and she is brilliant as always. But since there were so many plots in the movie (or none at all) Piryadarshan failed to provide to all the characters to their full ability. Om Puri, Archana Puran Singh and Rajpal Yadav are almost wasted in the movie. Even though each and every character in the movie was beautiful and the actors did the justice with their roles but Priyadarshan failed miserably to create comic situations, creating climax and story development.

Well you guys have already read Aamir Khan’s official blog. Honestly I am a bit jealous of Aamir. While we guys work so hard on our blogs to make them popular, these movie stars can beat us by just calling names to their colleagues. A friend of mine says that if you want more comments and link backs to your blog all you need to do is to provoke a controversy, start some controversial debate, make your voice stronger and be passionate about your ideas. I never paid attention to my friend’s advise but now he is telling me that Aamir followed his advise and now look at Aamir Khan’s blog. Thousands of comments on a single post! Here is how Aamir did it.

Aamir Khan wrote a post titled “Settlers Of Panchgani” where he mentioned that he bought a house that came with a dog which is named after Shahrukh Khan. He writes:

Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?

Now, before you jump to any conclusions let me add that Shahrukh is the name of our dog. And before you jump to any further conclusions let me add that I had nothing to do with naming him.

The post was mentioned on almost every news channel in India. Almost every newspaper wrote about this post. Even the king of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan talked about this blog post. I can’t even imagine the traffic this single post would have generated for Aamir Khan’s blog. There are 9697 comments on this post, and I am sure that the technical team at Aamir Khan’s office must have deleted thousands of comments.

Aamir Khan is a popular super star of Hindi film industry. The fame he got is not the fame of his blogging capabilities. He is still famous as a movie actor/ director/ producer not as a blogger. However, I think he has a good sense of humor. His writing skills are not bad either. But his blog lacks interactivity, I think he should understand that blogs are not about comments and posts. He needs to upload videos, photos, and he should link back to websites he found interesting. He is already immensely popular all over the world and he is famous for working hard to achieve the perfection in his work. So he must improve on his blogging skills and since he is the pioneer celebrity blogger, he should try to set an example for other celebrities that are thinking about following his steps.
