Dum Maaro Dum: This iconic song from the film Hara Rama Hara Krishna co-starring the debonair Dev Anand, the super sexy Zeenat Aman and the very vivacious Mumtaz, was a blockbuster. Till date, nobody can forget the sultry Zeenat Aman dancing sensuously on it giving it the magical hippie vibe. However, this iconic number was recreated by eminent music director Pritam in the 2011 film Dum Maro Dum and picturised on the super sexy Deepika Padukone. They added a few rap lines and recreated the tune. Did we like it? Well, let’s just say, the old one remains gold. Yeh Mera Dil: The original Don co-starring Amitabh Bachchan had the sexy Helen dancing on Yeh Mera Dil sung by the wonderful Asha Bhonsle, fabulously well. Farhan Akhtar directed the remake…

Sumita Chakraborty finds out more about the royal drama that has unfolded, as Meghan Markle gives an explosive interview to Ophrah Winfrey. When Priyanka Chopra warmly wished her best friend Meghan Markle “a happy married life” at her beautiful wedding stating in an emotional letter that “the marriage stood for change and hope”, little did our Bollywood-turned-Hollywood star PeeCee envisage how dramatic events would later unfold in Meghan’s royal marriage. And unfold it did… like an undiluted full-fledged blue-blood drama… almost like those OTT TV saas-bahu soaps that keep the viewers gaping in sheer shock. Absolutely scandalous so much so that it even prompted a spoof video that originated in Pakistan making all this blue-blood brouhaha, a typical saas-bahu saga. The Explosive Tell-all Yes, we are talking about Prince Harry…

“It should be a responsibility more than a moral obligation to motivate and support your juniors. This industry is such a lovely place to be if we start helping and empathizing with each other.”-Shamaun Ahmed I read somewhere that you started your journey as a DJ but then transitioned into an actor. What made you choose the latter? A few days ago, on social media, I posted this trailer and some of my school friends wrote to me discussing a play that I had actually conceptualized in 30 minutes when I was in class 4. I did not even remember this… but they said we knew it from that very moment that you would become an actor. As luck would have it, I was DJing, and I was very keen…

A few years ago, somebody had rightly said, “Shah Rukh Khan or sex is enough to make a film a huge hit.” Well, we don’t know if sex can be on par with the tremendous hold of star power or not, but it is a proven fact that merely the names of big stars could make a film work, and how, pre-pandemic days. In fact, when the distributers would hear that Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan or even Ajay Devgn were in the cast of a film, they would grab it immediately… no questions asked. In fact, before the horrific pandemic unfolded on us poor souls, the Hindi film industry complacently banked on their star power. Nobody really cared about the screenwriter, screenplay or the quality…

What works for me is “buy me food”. What are the three most essential things you carry with you all the time? I carry my lip balm, phone and headphones always. What in a man turns you on? His eyes, a good conversation with him or perhaps someone who could make me laugh. What in a man turns you off? A man who lies. What’s the mantra to impress a girl according to you? Hmm…. It depends actually! What works for me is “buy me food”. Just feed me basically!! Have you ever been hit on by the same sex? What was your reaction? Yeah, many times! I feel flattered. When was the last time a guy chased you? Or you chased a guy? Everywhere, anytime every day!! Which is…

Yash Chopra who once couldn’t stop raving about you, now can’t resist passing snide remarks every time your name is mentioned. It’s common knowledge that he’s extremely upset with the way you’ve not been able to give your best to ‘Vijay’ only because you are signing films left, right and centre. Now don’t you feel guilty for using your god-father as a stepping stone and then conveniently kicking him aside? I don’t think that Yashji is upset with me at all. If he was, he would have come and told me himself. He is a very frank and outspoken person. He fights his own battles. In any case he never did stop me from signing more and more films. His only condition was that ‘Vijay’ should be my first release.…
