SRK, Saif want to dance like Shahid!

Share This Post

Shahid Kapoor brought the house down when he paid a eight-minute tribute to pop icon Michael Jackson at the Filmfare Awards ceremony.

Not only was the audience up front spell bound by his perfect foot work and provocative mannerisms, it seems even the actors backstage were actually admiring Shasha. One little birdie says that actors — Shah Rukh Khan (who actually thinks Shahid is one of the finest young talents) and hold your breath, Saif Ali Khan, the emcees that night, were heard saying, “Arrey yaar this boy is so good. We must learn to dance like him.” At least for that night, Shahid found fans in-house too!

Neil traumatized after 'misbehaving' with Shah Rukh

Share This Post

Neil traumatized after `misbehaving` with Shah Rukh"Never again!" Neil shudders at the very thouught of the way he was forced to misbehave on stage with Shah Rukh Khan....by Shah Rukh Khan himself.

Trust SRK to espouse irreverence. But Neil hasn't been able to get over it. Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu were in a state of shock after Neil Nitin Mukesh's outburst on stage against Shah Rukh Khan at the Filmfare awards.

They both rushed to Neil in panic asking him to apologize to SRK.

Two days after Neil Nitin Mukesh told co-hosts Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan to just plainly and simply shutup on stage at the Filmfare awards at Yashraj films, the debate rages in the film industry.

Was the well-behaved blue-eyed-boy's aggressive impudence towards his superstarry seniors on Neil's home turf (he's known as a full-on Yashraj boy) for real? Or was it just an act?

To rewind a bit….at the Filmfare awards co-hosts Shah Rukh and Saif Ali Khan decided to take on Neil on stage, riling him endlessly. The final straw was the digs that Shah Rukh took at Neil's name.

“Neil, ” said Shah Rukh, “Why do you have three first names and no surname? My name is Khan. Saif too is a Khan. How come you have no last name?”

Neil couldn't take the slight to his family name. He not-so-gently reminded SRK that he ought to restrain himself because his, Neil's, father was sitting in the audience.

And then, horror of horrors, he told Shah Rukh to just shutup.

There was an uncomfortable silence in the auditorium.

Recalling the incident with an uncomfortable laugh Neil says, “I'm still shaking. Imagine me telling Shah Rukh Khan to shut up! But I did. That isn't all. At the end of the show I walked up to Shah Rukh and Saif and broke eggs on their heads.”

But relax. It was all part of an act.

“It was all planned by Shah Rukh Sir. I was told by the organizers the Moranis from beforehand that I was supposed to be part of Shah Rukh's act. I was supposed to reach early and rehearse for it.

But as luck would have it I had gone to town to pick up my parents and got stuck in the traffic. By the time I reached the venue there was only time for a quick briefing on what I had to do.”

Shah Rukh walked up to Neil and quickly told him the plan on stage.

Neil was aghast. “How could I say shut up to Shah Rukh Khan? I've never been rude even to my driver. But he insisted. He also told me to throw eggs at him and Saif at the end of the show. I begged and pleaded to spare me. But Shah Rukh didn't listen.”

Neil did his own on-the-spot improvisation on stage to spare himself the aggravated agony.

“Instead of throwing the eggs I walked up to Saif and Shah Rukh and broke the eggs on their heads. How could I throw eggs at them? Their fans would never forgive me!”

After the act Neil's shocked father has still not forgiven his son, although he has been told it was all in jest.

Says Neil, “Bipasha rushed to me and said if it was an act then it was really scary. Katrina stormed up to me after the show and told me to apologize to SRK, AT ONCE.”

Laughing nervously Neil relived the trauma of being forced to be rude to a hero he worships.

“I'm glad people finally got to see my mischievous side…But no thanks. Never again.”

Watch out for Shahrukh & Saif

Share This Post


Last to last year, when Shahrukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan took the stage to host the Filmfare Awards dressed in mere towels on their torsos and face-packs on their mugs, they pulled up everyone from their peers, colleagues and even critics.

The swashbuckling duo returns this month as the leg-pulling hosts once again for the 55th Filmfare Awards, slated for February 27, at the Yash Raj Studios in Andheri.

We hear that this time also SRK-Saif are going to take funny potshots and jabs at many a film celeb. Will they also give out the Na-real awards, a la the Razzies, this year?

A source says SRK and Saif are coming up with an entirely fresh skit this year. Expect the unexpected.

Well, we don’t mind as long as they stay within their clothes.

Saif wanted to kiss SRK

Share This Post

He wouldn’t mind kissing Shah Rukh if the two would have been cast in Dostana.

Saif Ali Khan was offered Dostana by Karan Johar at the time Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan were being considered. Saifu however declined the offer, ‘I didn't really chicken out - I mean I just thought, I think there was Abhishek and Aishwarya in the movie at the time I was being offered it and I was just wondering if I needed to do that and how I would fit in really and I told Karan that’, he told Rajeev Masand on his talk show, To Catch A Star.

Aish and Abhi hogging the limelight could have been the only reason for his Saifu’s refusal. For everyone knows Saif and Shah Rukh were the ones who bought being gay out of the Bollywood closet. Their camaraderie in Kal Ho Na Ho is legendary and Karan owes the success of Dostana to the two of them literally. He went on to say, ‘The gay thing didn't scare me off. In fact I don't think they (Abhishek and John) actually kiss. I would have.’

Incidentally, SRK too didn’t have a problem snogging in the film if he was offered Dostana, to which Saif added, ‘Yeah I would have kissed Shah Rukh.’SRK has even gone to speak about it earlier, saying he was disappointed how the kiss was shot in the film.

Truthfully, we can’t imagine Saif do a John in Dostana and thank heavens Priyanka replaced Aishwarya. But if Karan wants to recreate the magic of Dostana, Saif and Shah Rukh going at it with each other surely is the hit formula for Dostana 2, what say? Just make sure Bebo is cast in Priyanka's role.

Deepika differentiates between SRK & Saif!

Share This Post

Deepika Padukone is flying high, because her latest film, LOVE AAJ KAL, has taken a superb start at the ticket window, both in India and Overseas. And the reason for this humungous opening is being attributed to a lot of factors. First the director Imtiaz Ali, whose previous film JAB WE MET was a super duper hit. Secondly the chartbusting music by Pritam, and last but not the least the publicity blitzkrieg.

This being Saif Ali Khan's first film, under his home banner Illuminati Films, naturally a lot of questions that Deepika was asked were related as to how Saif functioned as a producer. However one question that had Deepika stumped as well as amused was the difference between Shah Rukh Khan (under whose banner she had made her debut in OM SHANTI OM) and Saif Ali Khan as producers. But the intelligent actress (regaining her poise), answered rather diplomatically that Saif was a very active producer who took care of almost everything on the sets. And like his image, the 'Chhote Nawab' was very chilled out and she never ever saw any tension on his face. While on Shah Rukh, she said that he was very supportive and protective, and never made her feel like a newcomer. As a producer Deepika found Shah Rukh very systematic and added that she would always remain grateful that she was given such a scintillating debut through his home banner and whatever she had achieved later, was because of the mighty King Khan.

Certainly very wisely put. Here's hoping that just like OM SHANTI OM, LOVE AAJ KAL too becomes a blockbuster!

SRK goes Saif's way...

Share This Post

B-Town's biggest stars are determined to let the cold war rage on.

So while Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan, Karan Johar and Kajal Anand went to Saif Ali Khan's birthday bash (with girlfriend Kareena Kapoor playing hostess) at Four Seasons in Worli, Salman Khan and his family headed in the opposite direction towards Subhash Ghai's party (celebrating his wife Rehana's birthday) at the Marriott, Juhu.

Says a guest present at the party, "The war between Salman and Shah Rukh is definitely on and so are the camps (check guest lists for Saif's and Ghai's parties). While Shah Rukh drove in with Sussanne Roshan (Hrithik's wife), Gauri and Farah Aqueel Ali (Zayed Khan's sister); Salman's brother Arbaaz Khan, who had initially gone for Subhashji's party, came to Saif and Kareena's party too, but much later.

When Arbaaz and Malaika walked in they sat in separate groups along with Amrita Arora and her boyfriend Shakeel Ladak, Atul and Alvira Agnihotri, Dino Morea and Lara Dutta while SRK, Karan, Gauri, Sussanne, Farah, SRK's sister, Shenaz sat in another with Kareena and Saif dividing their time between both."

The source adds, "It was a small, intimate get-together for friends and family with Saif and Kareena calling up people personally. It was a drinks-and-dinner party and everybody who attended had a rocking time! Kareena wanted to make it a special evening for Saif. It was definitely more organised and better than Katrina's birthday party, marred by the infamous SRK-Salman fight."

Adds the source, "Though Salman was invited by both Kareena (she's acting in his home production Main Aur Mrs Khanna) and Saif, he chose to stay away as did his sister Arpita and brother Sohail Khan and his wife Seema.

They attended Ghai's party instead. Kareena's best friend Amrita Arora went public for the first time with her new boyfriend, Shakeel Ladak as did Dino and Lara who came together. Kareena had also invited her Kambakht Ishq producer Sajid Nadiadwala but he was down with viral fever and couldn't come."

Here's who trooped in...
Imtiaz Ali, Karan Johar, Karisma and Sanjay Kapur, Sanjay and Maheep Kapur, Konkona and Ranvir Shorey, Kunal Kohli, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Soha Ali Khan Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Raju Hirani, Shabina Khan, Kajal Anand, Malaika and Arbaaz Khan, Sunny Dewan, Tanishaa.

Shah Rukh Receives Terrorist Threat (Update 03)

Share This Post

Just 24-hours passed by as two of the country’s leading cities Ahmedabad and Bangalore became victims to deadly bombs that rocked umpteen number of places bringing the entire nation to a standstill.

What’s next is another scary threat, but this time it’s no city or community, it’s Bollywood’s four Khan czars, who are at the hit list of one of the most notorious terrorist organisations - Indian Mujahideens.

From the look of it, the scenario would make a perfect plot for a nasty action packed B-town thriller, however, the truth of the matter is that the threats are not a part of any script but it’s very much real and happening.

The dreaded terrorist organisation has sent an open letter to the four Khans of Bollywood - Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan, asking them to stop acting in films or else they and their families shall face the consequences.

The choice of actors for the threat is no surprise. The four names are undoubtedly ruling the Indian film industry and are most valuable to Bollywood in terms of the moolah put on them. The four Khans alone have an estimated price of Rs 450 crores put on their films this year.

However, in a move to present a strong and brave front, the industry has come together in support of the four Khans. The Bollynation’s answer to such threats has once again proved that the industry will not give in to such demands as it swears to stand by the Khans.


Speaking to a news daily, producer cum director Karan Johar said, “In the film industry, talent is God and creativity our religion. Our work has involved some of the most prolific Islamic writers like Javed Akhtar, who has written the lyrics for songs like Radha kaise na jale and for bhajans. I believe that our fraternity has no gender, sex or religious bias and we work in tandem together. There may be personal divides but never any religious divide. I won't stop working with anyone.”

Adding to this filmmaker Kunal Kohli stated that the industry does not pick up actors on the basis of the religion but on their talent. "It’s time that we learn that resilience and survival of the human spirit from the common man." The sentiment has been widely echoed by filmmakers throughout the industry.


For now, the security has been tightened. Hope this scary threat turns out to be just another scary gimmick and peace is restored in the filmdom.

Zee News

....................................................................................

According to a new report, the Indian Mujahideen has sent e-mails demanding that Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan stop working in Hindi films, or else.

We asked some B-Town producers and directors for their reaction to the attempt at creating a divide within the industry on the basis of religion. Also, would they stop working with the four Khans if threatened? The voices echoed the same sentiment. That the film industry has always been a secular place and they will not let anyone or anything change that.

Farah Khan - Director

The film industry is a very secular place and basically, people here are interested only in success and not caste, creed, religion, where you stay or even if you are a man or woman. Personally, don't attach any importance to who belongs to which caste. After all, I married a Hindu. But let me tell you, that in the film industry, if you are successful, people will work with you irrespective of which God you pray to. And if you are not no one gives a damn, in any case.

Karan Johar - Producer, (Dharma Productions) and director

In the film industry, talent is God and creativity our religion. Our work has involved some of the most prolific Islamic writers like Javed Akhtar, who has written the lyrics for songs like Radha kaise na jale and for bhajans. I believe we are a fraternity where there is no gender, sex or religious bias and we work in tandem together. There may be personal divides but never any religious divide. I won't stop working with anyone. We are all one in the eyes of God. Our film industry has always been the most secular place in the country and the world. I believe very strongly that we are all humans first.

Ekta Kapoor - Producer, Balaji Telefilms and Motion Pictures

It's our choice on which actor we should take in our projects or not. A threat is just that, and should be treated like that. Nobody will take this threat seriously. As an industry, we are very strong. There will never be any apprehension as we are a very secular place. Mumbai itself is very secular with TV, and film artists and technicians all working together without any religious bias. It's going to take much more than terrorists to strike terror in our hearts. We have much more terror striking us every day.

Kunal Kohli - Director

We are a secular country and we will work with everybody. We are not from any religion but from India. There are so many workers from so many different religions working in tandem with each other in India and that's the beauty of our country. After every blast every city has gone back to being normal. That's the Indian spirit. We have to learn that resilience and survival of the human spirit from the common man.

Mumbai Police Commissioner Hasan Gafoor has said that security of Muslim Bollywood actors has been beefed up after they were threatened by Indian Mujahideen, a terror outfit that claimed responsibility for Saturday's serial blasts in Ahmedabad.

The outfit issued life threats to Bollywood stars Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan."Security of all has been stepped up, and the one's who are in need, has been beefed," said Gafoor.

An e-mail sent allegedly by the terror group to various television news channels on July 26 had threatened to target Bollywood actors and industrialists.

A total of 49 people were killed and more than 160 wounded when several bombs exploded across the city on Saturday.

SRK's Reaction to Kareena's Self-Obsession

Share This Post

Much to the dismay of the studio audience, host Shah Rukh Khan ordered all the four LCD screens fitted around the sets to be switched off for this particular episode. Why? Because of Kareena.

Says an eyewitness, "Ever since the shoot began, Kareena constantly kept looking at the LCD screen to see how she was looking. Shah Rukh observed this and told her that she was looking great, and need not look at the LCD screen every now and then."

It seems that Kareena was in no mood to listen to SRK. She could not refrain from looking at herself on the screen. "Consciously or subconsciously, she continued checking herself out on all the four screens. Time was running out so SRK ordered that the screens be switched off. Only then did they start the shoot," adds the eyewitness.

And what did Kareena do after that? The insider says, "Well, Kareena had no choice. She had to go ahead with the proceedings. Thankfully, everything went off smoothly after that."

Khan vs Khan at Filmfare Awards

Share This Post

Welcome to the 53rd Fair One Filmfare Awards. They are being brought into your living room tonight courtesy Sony Entertainment Television, 8 pm, Black Lady, red carpet and all.

With Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan playing masters of ceremony and chief pranksters, the lovely Vidya Balan a valiant foil to their masti. It’s a Khan vs Khan show as SRK matches wit and audacity with rockstar Saif in gags that will have you cracking up with their bawdy irreverence to Bollywood.

What didn’t the Bollywood Badshah and Chhote Nawab do! They ran a spoof on debutant award winner Ranbir Kapoor’s towel dropping act from Saawariya , holding onto their own towels, thankfully. And another one saw them, well, rip co-host Vidya Balan of the bizarre costumes she wore in Heyy Babby. Celina Jaitley, they did not spare for her makeup. In this delightful manner, the duo kept the show alive, fresh and moving, making sure even their hapless victims seated below enjoyed a chuckle at their own expense.

The event, held at the Yash Raj Studios on February 23, was as fine a tribute to the world of Hindi cinema as it was a platform for the industry’s talented top stars to show what high energy they are capable of when unleashed outside of a camera. In the audience, there were black tie and velvet gown moments of suspense before the award envelopes were opened.

On stage, there was dhoom and dhamaka provided by Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Vivek Oberoi and Neil Nitin Mukesh.And then there was drama, too, as in when Rishi Kapoor accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award from his first co-star, Dimple Kapadia, and shared the honour with wife Neetu Singh.

In the midst of their tears and laughter, Rishi was overheard calling up his mother Krishna Kapoor who could not make it to the function. Tonight’s telecast of the 53rd Fair One Filmfare Awards is for Mrs Kapoor and others like her who could not be at Yash Raj to witness the spectacular show unfold live on stage.

Take your seat at 8 pm and watch the stars as they accept their awards.

SRK at Balaji Awards Nite

Share This Post


Bollywood badshah Shah Rukh Khan was there and so was Kareena Kapoor, looking gorgeous in a slinky red sari and backless blouse, with current boyfriend Saif Ali Khan in tow at Balaji Telefilm's gala television awards function.

The Future Group Global Indian TV Honours event on Friday night at the Andheri Sports Complex, in northwest Mumbai, also had Lara Dutta, Suniel Shetty and Karan Johar adding to the Bollywood presence.

Shah Rukh came to the function not because he had begun his acting career on television. He came as a Bollywood superstar and proved it when he presented an inimitable act at the function.

Balaji honoured him for being the best anchor in the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 3.

Siddharth Basu, who put together the show for Star Plus, announced at the function that Shah Rukh would again host the show that is to be telecast soon.

While Lara Dutta came to perform at the show, Suneil Shetty conferred the Global India TV Honour to Karan Johar, whose chat show Koffee With Karan (Season 2) was adjudged as the Best Talk Show of 2007.

Karan and Ekta Kapoor, the owner of Balaji Telefilms Ltd, broke into an impromptu jig on the stage together. Later, both did a short spoof on Koffee With Karan when Ekta interviewed him.

"What will be the title if he ever made a serial on Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham with Shah Rukh Khan heading the cast?" Ekta asked. Karan replied: Kabhi Saas, Kabhi Devdas.

The next question: "If you roped in all the Khans of Bollywood for a serial, what title will you give to it? "Khan-Dan", Karan quipped.

Bollywood's star turnout was also the biggest at Ekta's show. Most of them were called up on stage to confer the honours, unlike in other television award functions where TV artistes hand over awards to one another.

The Bollywood touch added glamour to her show and made it all the more alluring.

Perhaps, the head honcho of Balaji Telefilms planned it that way. Otherwise why would she choose to confer an honour on Kareena Kapoor at a television function.

Kareena's tantalising presence in red sari and backless blouse as she sashayed to the stage to accept the award from Jeetendra and Raakesh Roshan fetched loud cheers. Boyfriend Saif Ali Khan was there among the audience cheering lustily.

SRK, Deepika Cheer Team India to Victory

Share This Post

Amongst the stars present to see a young Indian team confidently trounce the Aussies in the Twenty20 match at the Brabourne Stadium Mumbai Saturday, October 20, were Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Raveena Tandon and of curse debutant Deepika Padukone who got a special invite for the match from Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

If Dhoni requests, how can Deepika not accede? Dhoni had wanted Om Shanti Om girl Deepika Padukone to come and watch his boys take on Australia. And the beautiful girl did come. She also had her star in the film Shah Rukh Khan for company. Shah Ruh had gone to Johannesburg to cheer for India in the final against Pakistan.

Perhaps he is India's lucky mascot whenever they play Twenty20. King Khan and petit Padukone had some serious company in the form of Priyanka Vadhera and husband Robert in the VIP Box.

Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan with 10-year-old son Aryan watched the Indian team quickly pile up runs to outdo the Australian total of 166.

From SRK to Saif to John

Share This Post

Are you aware Shah Rukh Khan was the first choice for the principal role in Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking?

“He was keen to do the film. He even said he’d do it for his kids. But, for some reason, he couldn’t accommodate my film,” Anurag states.

Anurag remembers those days. “I was a dejected man. 'Paanch' was showing no signs of releasing and 'Black Friday' was held up. I was desperate to start a film. One night, I text-messaged all the top actors, telling them about the script of 'No Smoking'. The only person who responded to my message was John Abraham. He heard the script the very next morning and said ‘Yes’ instantly. He even said he’d get a producer to back this script,” the talented director reminisces.

Anurag continues, “In the meanwhile, Vishal Bhardwaj called to enquire if I’d be interested in starting a film for his banner. I narrated 'No Smoking' to him and he suggested Saif Ali Khan’s name. But I told him that I’d already committed to John. That’s how the ball started rolling.”
