I've have become more confident as an actor: Preeti
New Delhi, April 5. (UNI): Six years ago, this beautiful girl with a sweet smile endeared herself to cinegoers with the simplicity of her portrayal of the shy girl next door in Aditya Chopra's 'Mohabbattein'. Despite a dream debut, which saw her share screen space with Superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, Preeti Jhangiani, even six years after the film, has still to establish a niche for herself on the Bollywood firmament while her 'Mohabbattein' co-star Jimmy Shergill is today a known face in filmdom. "It was not that I had disappeared after 'Mohabbattein'. After 'Mohabbattein' I signed no less than 10 films some of them big banner films like 'Awara Paagal Deewana' and 'LoC-Line of Control'. Call it my wrong choice of movies or sheer bad luck but many of these didn't do well," Preeti told UNI here. Infact, Preeti's recent films like 'Chaahat-Ek Nasha' and 'Sukh' failed to set the box office on fire. Her films in the last few years may not have established her as an actor to reckon with in Bollywood but they have nevertheless contributed to Preeti's growth as an actress. "When I did my first role in 'Mohabbattein', I was a shy newcomer. But now, having done more than ten films and assaying a variety of roles, I am more confident as an actor,"Preeti said. Currently, Preeti is all excited about her latest film 'Chand Ke Paar Chalo', produced by Salim (Who earlier made the Rani Mukherjee-starrer 'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat') where she is paired opposite newcomer Sahib. "For the first time in my career, I am doing an author-backed role of a woman who undergoes a transformation from a street dancer to a Bollywood actress. It is the story of her journey from being a small Banjaran, who earns her living through dancing in the street, to a 'glamorous star' in the glitzy world of Bollywood. In this sense, it is quite unlike a multistarrer like 'Awara Paagal Diwana' where one tends to get lost in a crowd. Also, while many of my earlier films had me in 'soft' roles, in 'Chand Ke Paar Chalo', I play a woman with shades of Grey,"she said.
I am lucky, says Ayesha Takia
'Working with a versatile and accomplished actor like Naseeruddin Shah is a privilege available to very few actors. Naseer is a perfectionist and I consider myself lucky to be one of his cast,' says actress Ayesha Takia who plays Khushboo, a college girl who is struck by tragedy in an attempt to rescue her friend in stellar-actor-turned-first-time-director Naseeruddin Shah's 'Yun Hota Hota To Kya Hota'. The production team claims that the film has quite an interesting concept and is sure to enthrall the audiences with performances by Paresh Rawal, Konkona Sen. Sharma, Irfaan Khan, Jimmy Sheirgill, Ayesha Takia, Ratna Pathak Shah, Suhasini Mulay and many more. The stars of 'Yun Hota To Kya Hota' are kicked about its unique concept which has four plots running parallel to each other. Various twists and turns in the story make them blend together towards the end. The film has been shot in Mumbai and New York. This film also marks the acting debut of Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah's son Imaad Shah and Ace choreographer Saroj Khan.
I am an Overseas Actor, says SRK
'I am an overseas actor,' says King of Repartee-n-One-Liners Shahrukh Khan. He also happens to be the most bankable star on the Bollywood Box Office. His last film 'Paheli' may have been another failed attempt at going out of his comfort zone (Raj and Rahul kinda cinema), but the second half of 2006 is undoubtedly going to belong to him. For Karan Johar's 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna' and Farhan Akhtar's 'Don' are the most eagerly awaited films of the year. Having spent most part of this year traveling all over the world, Badshah Khan is settling down in the rain-n-media-squelch of good-ole-Mumbai. By staking his claim at the overseas territory for 'Don' (worth Rs 12 crore), he becomes the highest paid actor in Bollywood. He knows it well that there are people who are spreading rumors about his alleged fallout with his childhood icon Amitabh Bachchan. He rubbishes such reports by stating that how can he even think of having differences with Big B as no one can come close to him. As for his discomfiture with the growing popularity of Abhishek, all he has to say is that he missed the Junior B when he had to go back to India during the shooting of KANK. In spite of both Abhishek and Hrithik being much younger to him, he still considers them as 'good friends'. A lot has been written about SRK's 'differences' with the mercurial Ram Gopal Verma who recently shelved 'Time Machine' where both were coming together for the first time. It was said that Shahrukh was incensed with RGV for making fun of Karan's films (RGV had stated in an interview that 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum' was his favourite horror film) and for also stating that working with SRK will be like going back to school insinuating about Khan's limited vocabulary as an actor. SRK clears the air by saying that at any given time he receives 10 ' 12 offers, out of which he rejects 10 and accepts only two. And 'Time Machine' is one of those ten that he refused as it was not measuring up to the mark. But the diplomat that he is, SRK is still saying that the SMS he sent to Ramu was: 'We shall tell another story some other time'. MusicMazaa looks forward to SRK rocking the Box Office in the later half of an year that is proving to be the best ever year from business perspective of Bollywood.
I don't mind doing a French kiss, says Abhishek
'I don't mind doing a French kiss on screen,' says the most-coveted-bachelor-in-town Abhishek Bachchan. And what if your co-star has a bad breath? 'There's nothing I can do about it. I am a professional and I'll go ahead and do my job,' he adds tongue-in-cheek (Literally). That's Abhishek for you. Full of life and candid-to-the-hilt. Six years in the industry, people have now started noticing him after a spate of forgettable films. Not merely features, but like his father, he is becoming much-in-demand by the any-n-every product launches. He has a few big films lined up. First to come will be Karan Johar's 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna' this August and Come-Diwali, we shall see him in a double whammy: 'Dhoom 2' and 'Umrao Jaan'. Yes, 'Don' is no more releasing this Diwali after the Yashraj Films planned to hijack most of the theatres for their big release. In fact, there's a buzz that Shahrukh is not happy with the outcome of the final output of the film. And that can be a big setback for the distributors who trust SRK's judgment. Nevertheless, talking about AB Junior, then yes he is admitting that he is in 'Love'. But without a prior warning, he clears-the-air with a chuckle by adding: 'I am in love with my work.' He skirts the issue of his alleged affair with Aishwarya Rai by stating that it's a creation of Media's figment of imagination. So is he single: 'Yes,' he says.
I Baby sat Hrithik, says Rekha
'I actually baby sat Hrithik for three months,' says Rekha. A good friend of Pinky (Rakesh Roshan's wife), Rekha changed his diapers and bottle fed the superstar. No wonder the bond between the two is magical when it comes to being a mother-son or grandmother-grandson combo. 'Hrithik epitomizes everything precious in a man, be it as a son, lover or as a husband. This is a very strong statement I am making. Hrithik talks about his wife being perfect. I don't think his wife can be perfect without Hrithik. This kid is a complete human being,' Rekha adds like a proud parent. Hrithik is said to be a perfectionist when it comes to his work. So, does the granny have a viewpoint on that too? 'There isn't a jealousy, pride or any other negative traits. As for being hard working, every actor has to work by virtue of being in such a competitive profession. But Hrithik works hard not to better anyone, but himself. He was born to work hard. And look at the end result,' beams Rekha with pride-n-satisfaction. There are many sides to the phenomenon called Rekha. It is great to see such a soothing side of her personality. Hey'Looking forward to seeing you guys together in the superman series of 'Krrish'.
