Preity Took Another Challenge

Last year might not have been that good for Preity Zinta but she has recovered and has taken yet another challenge under her sleeves. The challenge is to force Indian guys to shave regularly.

Preity was first embroiled in IPL fiasco last year for which she had to fight long battle and then her name popped up in substance abuse charges and subsequent rehabilitation in US. Though allegations of taking drugs and her rehabilitation were later found to be baseless but her reputation suffered nonetheless.

But now, she is back. She has joined hands with Malaika Arora Khan and Neha Dhupia in Gilette’s new campaign STOP PMS (Prickly Men’s Stubble).

Preity revealed some insights into her own life and admitted to using her brother’s razor to shave her legs. A recent nationwide survey revealed that 73% women prefer clean shaved men and clean face is also favorable in corporate environment but Preity went one step further and said, “75 % women favor clean shaved men!”

Unlike Malaika who said Hrithik looks better in beard, Preity mentioned 3 Deols in YAMALA PAGLA DEEWANA as good looking with beard.

 The reason Preity gave as to why men would listen to her was the cheapness of the Giletter Mach 3 Turbo Sensitive razor. “It is available at affordable cost of Rs. 125 and since men are more sensitive towards money, they will buy it,” said the dimple girl.

Well Preity, it is good to have you back.

“Arbaaz Is My First Victim”- Malaika

Leading Bollywood actresses Malaika Arora Khan, Neha Dhupia and Preity Zinta joined hands to educate men to shave regularly.

During recently concluded STOP PMS (Prickly Men’s Stubble) campaign organized by Gilette, the three likeminded ladies expressed their views on men’s stubble. The campaign was intended to tell men that they have PMS everyday if they don’t shave regularly. 

“73% women like clean shaved men. We women are most comfortable if men don’t have PMS, “Spoke a fierce Malaika Arora Khan during interaction with media. 

On a question that whether Arbaaz is her first victim in her campaign, a sober and confident Malaika replied, “yes, certainly Arbaaz is my first victim. I always force him to shave regularly.”

But munni badnaam hui girl Malaika declined to comment on her Bollywood co stars and said, “all Bollywood actors look superb and there is no need to take this campaign to them”.

Well we understand that our munni needs to work in the industry too but she felt Hrithik looks superb in beard. 

Gilette has devised the strategy to hire women to educate men about regular shaving after a nationwide survey revealed one of the most common complaints of women-PMS. “Gilette has a strategy to use women to educate men on the needs of shaving because men listen more carefully to women than men,” replied Malaika.

We don’t know about all the women but men certainly listen more carefully to Malaika!

Neil Saved Tigers!

Everybody knows how much Neil loves photography. He carries his camera whenevr he goes on an outdoor shoot.

He was shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj’s SAAT KHOON MAAF in Mysore when he clicked some pictures of tigers.

When he clicked the pictures of the tigers he knew it then that he would like to use them in some way for the NGO whose initiative he supports.

The picture fetched a whooping amount and Neil was really glad that he could support the cause in some way.

Tusshar In Sin City

Tusshar Kapoor took a trip to Las Vegas, USA after the release of GOLMAAL 3. He flew there to join his friend Kareena Kapoor who invited him to visit her on the sets of Karan Johar's untitled film.

Says the actor "Our whole gang of friends Lovely Singh and Kareena's hair stylist Pompi included was there. She was busy shooting, so we could only hang around with her in the evenings but my purpose was just to chill and I did just that.

Luckily, I managed to get two weeks off from the shooting of HUM TUM AUR SHABANA, so I could make the most of it."

Kapoor adds that after years he broke his strict diet and ate anything and everything. "I broke almost every rule... I binged on pizzas, pastas nachos and even rice at night. Though I am not a shopper, I shopped and raided most of the malls for food and outfits. I have eaten at every good restaurant in town Cheesecake Factory, Tao, Denise which is (the quintessential family restaurant open for 24 hours), Lavo and the Bellagio. "

The G3 actor had interesting experiences with many Indian families who loved his last release, "They loved my character and the movie so much that they insisted that I have lunch with them."

‘PHAS GAYE RE OBAMA’ To Be Made In Telugu

‘PHAS GAYE RE OBAMA’ To Be Made In Telugu

Subhash kapoor is a happy man. His small budget film PGRO will be made in Telugu.

That’s true. A prominent southern producer has requested the remake rights of this movie.

“Yes it is true. Sayed Ayub, who runs a prominent production house in the south, has approached us with an offer to remake the film in Telegu, “confirms an elated Subhash Kapoor.

He is assured that with such a universal story line, PHANS GAYE RE OBAMA can be made in any language.

 He further adds, “We will finalise the terms and conditions by next week. I strongly feel that while the basic concept and the storyline of the film are fresh, the film’s simplicity can be adapted in any language. The story of a millionaire getting kidnapped and people making money out of it can fit in any language and culture.”

This year Bollywood has seen some of the most unlikely movies making it big. UDAAN, PEEPLI LIVE, TERE BIN LADEN and LSD are some of those movies which were small but became successful.

Subhash welcomes the trends but believes that his film is different in some respect. He says, “
And Kapoor believes that his film has bagged this opportunity without any external support. He says, “Other small films this year had big names behind them. UDAAN had an Anurag Kashyap, PEEPLI LIVE had an Aamir Khan, TERE BIN LADEN had Manmohan Shetty and LSD had Ekta Kapoor. That our film will have a Telegu remake is very encouraging.”

Kangana Chickened Out Of ‘RAGINI MMS’

An otherwise bold Kangana Ranaut chickened out of balaji’s next RAGINI MMS because of strong explicit content. Film was supposed to go on floor this week.

Confirms a source, “Yes, RAGINI MMS has a lot of explicit content. That could be one of the reasons why Kangna turned it down. She would have been ideal for this film, as she is a very strong actress, but it's okay. There is no animosity between Kangna and Ekta. Balaji is considering Kangna for other forthcoming projects.”

RAGINI MMS, supposedly another LOVE SEX AUR DHOKA, was being pitched as paranormal thriller which initially attracted Kangana but she was not ok with skin exposure in movie.

“That's right. I did speak to Kangna about doing RAGINI MMS. But then, the language in the film is very explicit. While talking to Kangna, I felt that she was more inclined to do a love story, which I will do with her in the near future. So for now, it's going to be fresh faces in RAGINI MMS, “ says Ekta Kapoor.

Well we all know how professional Ekta is at finding a fresh but talented face.

Ranbir Got A New Fatwa

Papa Rishi has given special instruction to junior Kapoor. He doesn’t want him to shake his booty off screen. That may cause some problem to ladies around!!!

It so happens that Rishi Kapoor is a great strategist and has a reason behind everything he asks Ranbir to do or not do.

As far as dancing is concerned, daddy Kapoor has asked beta Kapoor not to give his nod for performing at any event – be it weddings or even award functions no matter how much ever the money!

Rishi wants Ranbir to maintain certain exclusivity for his fans, so that whenever he goes on a world tour he has something new to offer those willing to spend a huge buck and is not repetitive.

Ranbir Kapoor has found this 'clause' to be rather clever and has abided by it so far. The Kapoors are planning a world tour in 2011, and RK is getting set to do some exclusive stuff for his fans. If talks are to be believed even Rishi will join Ranbir on stage for a shake or two. Money calling, we think!
