Katrina Kaif se Bachna Ae Haseeno

Katrina is on a career high. Presently she is shooting in Philadelphia in the US for the Yashraj film with John Abraham and Neil Mukesh, directed by Kabir Khan.

Sources reveal that though 'Singh is King' is huge hit, instead of celebrating the success back home, she is shooting non stop for 18 hours at a stretch. Though she has been getting a deluge of complimentary call for the double hat trick in her career.

Industry folks compliment her on her dedication, hard work and professionalism. Success hasn't changed Katrina.

Industry sources also say that if Katrina would have been in Bachna Ae Haseeno, the film would have got a bigger opening, since she is considered as a lucky mascot in the trade circles. Incidentally Katrina was supposed to be in the film, but since the film would have got longer, the producer felt that it would not do justice to her.

Yashraj then signed her for the film with John and Neil Mukesh, directed by Kabir Khan, in a role which will have huge scope to perform. Infact keeping with her stature at the box office, she is touted as the highlight of the film.

With 6 hits in a row, and a promising 'Yuvraaj' later this year, Katrina is truly on a roll !!

Genelia D'souza

Imran Khan's petite and perky costar Genelia D'Souza in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na started her career with Mr Bachchan, no less.

"I did a Parker pen ad with him when I was still a kid. It seems I've been acting forever. Strangely acting was never an option. That ad was directed by Mansoor Khan. He kept me in mind for Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, and here I am."

She continues, "Actually this film was being produced by Jhamu Sugandh first. That's when I screen -tested for the role of Aditi. I met the director Abbas Tyrewalla and he almost finalized me.

But he needed bulk dates from me and I was busy down South. He wanted to shoot at stretch. I couldn't do. I got busy in the South. Then one day I got a call from Aamir Khan's office.

Abbas wanted a complete newcomer. But Aamir wanted a girl who suited the character. The next thing I knew, I was on board."

Genelia says she was never that keen on an acting career. "But when I saw how I was appreciated down South I fell in love with the industry.I've been lucky. I didn't plan anything. I've never contacted a single producer. So far it's been an awesome journey."

After Tamil and Telugu Genelia has just made her debut in Kannada film. "I'm sure I'll be able to dub in all the South Indian languages soon. I know I can do it. I just need to get the slangs and colloquialisms correct. Honestly I need to dub my own lines in the South to give complete performances."

In Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na Genelia plays a girl quite like herself. "Except for one detail. Aditi picks fights with every damn person. I'm not like that.

I'd rather talk it out than fight. I had to really let go to be fighting on screen all the time.

The workhops really help. Both Imran and I are close to the characters. But we also discovered new facets of ourselves while playing the characters."

Like Asin, Genelia is now dividing her time between Bollywood and the South. "I'm getting a lot of calls in Mumbai. I want to balance it out. But the priority would be Hindi films right now because I've worked really long in the South.

But my South Indian films are also very important. I get very satisfying roles in Tamil and Telugu. And I can't let them go. Let's just say I'll do one film down South for every two films I do here.

In any case they wrap up their films super-fast down South."

The rumours about Genelia D'Souza and her first co-star Riteish Deshmukh have the child-woman flummoxed.

"I'm very much single. Riteish is a friend. But that's it. I've no idea where these rumours come from. We're both very busy. When we occasionally meet up we're normal with one another, not the least selfconscious about what's written about us.

I'm very new to all this. I've done the two films with Riteish Tujko Meri Kasam and Masti….I started young, yes. In 2003 I had three releases in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, " the Mumbai girl informs me.

"I got busy with the South that 's the only reason why it took me so long to get noticed in Bollywood.

There's a buzz about Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na because it is Imran's debut film. I'm definitely looking at it as a high-potential film.

I also had fun doing Priyadarshan's Mere Baap Pehle Aap. I enjoy doing films in all languages and genres."

She also has It's My Life with Harman Baweja coming up.

"I've done the original in Telugu down South. Then I also did the remake in Tamil. Now I'm doing it in Hindi. The Tamil and Telugu versions were similar. But the Hindi version is very different. Today both the South and Hindi are high-potential industries for me. I'm still a newcomer in Bollywood."

The Best of Amisha patel

Ameesha wants to make most of her new sexy look

A lot of things have changed in Ameesha Patel's life since she made her debut as the cute girl next door opposite Hrithik Roshan in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hsai, 8 years ago.

To start off, with the actress no longer lives with her family and has even dropped her surname. Secondly, she has gone in for a spell change and now wants to be called Ameesha (note the new spelling) However, the things that interest us most is the make-over which the actress has gone through and suddenly from the cute and chirpy Ameesha Patel you have the sizzling hot Ameesha.

Ameesha sure wants to make most of her new sexy look.


After a super-successful start to her career with back to back smash hits like Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Gadar-Ek Prem Katha, everyone thought Ameesha would be the next big thing in Bollywood.

However, some wrong choice of films and problems galore on the personal front resulted in Ameesha's career going off-track. But now, this Gujju babe has decided its time to move on and has indeed worked hard to get into shape and the results are there for all to see.



Ameesha's sizzling bikini act in the Lazy Lamhe song from the Yash Raj flick Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic sure had the male folk asking for more.

Ameesha may not have the longest legs in tinsel-town but she doesn't mind flaunting those legs now that she is in shape. In this issue of Man's World, Ameesha confesses that she simply loves good food and can never starve.

That means that this stunning beauty surely must have gone through quite a grueling work-out schedule to lose some of the flab and look her curvaceous best

Ameesha has always been open about the men in her life. She is currently on a high both professionally as well as personally as she has found the love of her life in hotelier-businessman Kanav Puri. As she herself says, "I hate any man who tries too hard to impress."

Well, Kanav surely seems to have got it right in wooing Madame Ameesha. Here, Ameesha is seen sizzling in a Grecian cut pleated Black silk dress with some really beautiful diamonds and a designer purse to go with. Way to go babe!!!
