Desi Galaxy

Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan did a show in Dubai together. Thats not what we are gonna talk about, the talking point is that Katrina performed very little during the show. Why? Because apparently just a couple of days before the show she fell sick and her doctors told her not to do anything stressful or hectic. She had low hemoglobin which made him too weak to perform.

It was a disaster for the organizers of the event when they found out that Katrina is unable to attend the show. These organizers sold out the show in the name of ‘A night with Katrina and Salman’, they didn’t know how they are gonna face the people who bought the tickets at the really high prices. To ease the pain of the organizers Katrina agreed to appear on stage and put together a minimal act where she neither danced nor talked much. Even this was a life saver for the organizers. If this was some foreign country they might have sued the actress for being careless and unprofessional. But these Desi bollywood lover fools paid 80 Lac Indian Rupees to Katrina Kaif for just appearing on the stage and say a few words.

Now I am not against people making money. But I am against people taking advantage of other people’s miseries. Katrina who is not known for her amazing acting or dancing skills, nor she has any critically acclaimed movie on her credit. All she does is to star in movies that revolve around other actors and she gives appearances into dances and a couple of scenes and thats it. Her recent movie Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab kahani’s box office report is a proof that she is unable to peform a lead role. But here she is getting all the money for just her looks, and honestly I don’t even think she is that pretty, is she?

Kareena’s pictures from Kurbaan has sparked the controversy. These images are used in the publicity posters for the movie showing Saif Ali Khan shirtless and Kareena Kapoor’s back. Shiv Sena spoke out against the posters claiming that the pictures of Kareena Kapoor are nudes and hence obscene and offensive to Indian people. Shiv Sena spokesperson offered to send Kareena a Sari to cover up her naked back. In response to the sari comment Kareena retaliated by demanding a ‘Good One’.

The movie’s posters were released almost two weeks ago and they went almost completely unnoticed, until Shiv Sena pointed them out. Allegedly some of their activists took to the streets of Mumbai and teared down the posters. The controversy has developed immense public interest in the posters and now ever one wants to see them. The publicity had been beneficial for both the Shiv Sena and the movie Kurbaan. Providing them with free air time on news tv channels all over the country.

The real life couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s upcoming movie Kurbaan is among one of the most highly anticipated projects in Bollywood. But the silly stunts to gain publicity are now making people think that the actual movie wont be as good and entertaining as the controversies surrounding it. First there were news items detailing a hot bed scene between Kareena and Saif, and now the poster controversy. Already there are pictures of a kissing scene between Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor circulating all over the web. Kurbaan which is expected to be released on 27 November will surely gain a good headstart at the box office after all this free publicity earned by controversies and rumors.

Salman Khan has appeared on Farah Khan’s Television show ‘Tere Mere Beach Mein’ with his mother. You can watch a preview of the show on youtube. The series itself is premiering from Salman Khan episode which is going to be aired tomorrow (23 August 2009) at 9pm. Farah Khan’s show strives to be different from shows like ‘Koffee with Karan’, ‘Oye! its Friday’ and ‘Rendezvous with Simi Garwal’. Farah promises that in her show she will show the non glamorous side of the celebrities and she will try to make them talk about the issues of their lives that are very similar to their fans.

I think this is a lame idea but even then show is going to be a big success as Farah would pull a few strings and no one can deny to be her on show. Even Salman Khan’s mother Salma who had never given an interview and never been on television before. Farah will end the season by inviting Shahrukh Khan and you can see Shahrukh Khan telling that he is a ‘Joro ka Ghulam’. Farah is making the same mistake she made in her amazingly disappointing movie ‘Om Shanti Om’, she is trying too hard to entertain.

Still I believe that the Salman Khan episode would be a must watch to any one who has ever loved any Hindi movie. You can hear Salman, his mother and his father talking about his love life, controversies and how they affected the family and of course about movies. Don’t forget to check out the official website of the show ‘Tere Mere Beach Mein‘, it has more photos of Salman Khan and other stars with Farah, videos and much more.

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.

The mystery of who killed Aarushi is yet to be solved but it seems like police is just as clueless as the media and general public. There was criminal neglect during the initial investigations which perhaps provided murderer a chance to destroy evidence. So far the investigations had been totally biased and one sided. The police is still unable to provide a satisfactory explanation of why a father would kill his daughter just to hide his illicit affair with a colleague.

On May 16, a 14 year old girl named Aarushi found dead at her house in Noida, at first police announced reward on missing domestic servant, a 45 year old man Hemraj. Next day police found the body of Hemraj from the terrace of the same house. Mystery: Why police didn\’t search the house properly on the first day. Another mystery is that Aarushi’s mother was in the house asleep in the room that is only a few feet away from Aarushi’s room. How come she didn’t hear anything when two people got killed in the very same house? Was she drugged or may be she is hiding something.

On May 23, police arrested Aarushi’s father Rajesh Talwar claiming that Dr. Rajesh Talwar killed her daughter and the servant after finding his daughter in an objectionable position with the guy. It was told that Dr. Talwar first murdered Hemraj and then Aarushi. The next day Aarushi’s mother claims that her husband is innocent and he didn’t kill his own daughter. The Uttar Pardesh State police kept parroting their theory of honor killing. The friends and family of the victim Aarushi raised their voice against the police campaign to defame a dead teenage girl who was brutally murdered. A new theory as motive of murder was then coined by State police that Dr. Talwar murdered his daughter Aarushi and servant Hemraj to hide his illicit affair with a colleague. Apprantely the colleague that was blamed to be having an affair with Dr. Talwar came out and denied all allegations. State police was criticised by every one for criminal neglect in the investigations. Media pressure pushed the UP government to recommend CBI investigation.

CBI registered the case against Dr. Rajesh Talwar on June 1. CBI interrogated Anita Durrani the woman blamed by state police for having an affair with Rajesh Talwar. CBI also examined the house to find the murder weapon. After that they have taken Rajesh Talwar’s compounder Krishna after initial interrogation they arrested Krishna as suspect. CBI still doesn’t think that Krishna murdered Aarushi or Hemraj but they think he might be involved in destroying or hiding the evidence of the crime. It should be clear that Aarushi was not raped before murder. Nothing valuable is reported to be missing or stolen from the house. The state police that was presenting the case as honor killing has several loop holes in their theory. No one still knows who murdered Aarushi and Hemraj. If it was her father Rajesh Talwar, then what motive he had to commit such a horrible crime? The Times of India reports that an Aarushi like case rocked Mumbai in 2000. When police arrested a father for the murder of his 16 year old girl. However, just like Aarushi’s case the policed failed to prove it in the court. The father had no motive and all evidences failed to prove anything at the court. The family of the girl then filed a complain in High court to order police for the re-investigation of the case and arrest the real killer.

Another MMS clip made in the University of Mumbai’s Kalina campus has sparked another scandal. The mms video clip shows two students of the university having sex on the floor of the student council office. The faces of both students are not visible in the video but the male student is the general secretary of the University’s student council. He is affiliated with Samatvadi Chatrabharati party.

Since the student polls are due in two months it seems like this new MMS clip scandal is politically motivated. According to police, the man who filed the complain and informed the media is National Students Union of India’s president Sadaf Aboli. Mr. Aboli has previously accused a college professor of sexually harassing a female student. However the professor was given clean chit by police. It looks like Aboli is a person with a very dangerous and dirty mind. Aboli told the media that they were at the second floor when they hear noises coming from the ground floor office. They went down to invesitgate, when the peered from the window they saw General Seceratry making out with a girl.

Meanwhile the accused male student claims to be innocent. He says that he was not involved in any such incident. His party’s senior leader claims that the boy shares a brotherly love with the girl in the mms clip.

It is not the first time that MMS video clips caused serious problems, previously a girl from Jamshedpur became a victim of such an incident. MMS videos are used for marketing latest bollywood movies and music albums and are very effective marketing. But such viral and pornographic desi mms clips are most of the time illegal and they cause serious damage to the lives of innocent girls on these videos.

Kangana Ranaut is the new hot spicy thing after Mallika Sherawat. Though we loved Mallika for giving us chances to fill our blog posts with gossip, pictures and controversies. But it seems like Mallika has sobred and she is now “really” focused on her career as an actress. But bollywood had always been full of girls who always provided us hot new content. I feel that Kangana is the new Mallika Sherawat.

She appeared nude on the cover of the Stardust’s 2007 annual issue. Claiming that she wasn’t nude at all:

I was wearing a body suit all the time and whats the big deal about that photo? Are any of my vital organs seen? I haven’t posed nude at all.

Apart from her sleazy, hot and sexy pictures she is also popular for her bold kissing scenes with Emran Hashmi and Upen Patel. See this video of Emran Hashmi and Kangana Ranaut kissing.

Recently Kangana’s driver filed a complain against her in a local police station for physical assualt. According to the complain the driver reported that Kangana Ranaut slapped him infront of her sister and make up man who also attempted to hit the driver. The poor driver’s only fault was that he bumped into another vehicle accidentally while driving Kangana to film studios.

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.
