Deepika, Asin To Be Future Bollywood Rivals

Mumbai, April 09: It’s always been evident that actresses do not really get along with each other in Bollywood. And most recently gorgeous Deepika Padukone and Asin were seen giving cold vibes to each other at the Pantaloons Femina Miss India contest recently.

The ladies reportedly did not exchange even so much as a ‘hi’ and didn’t even share a smile at the beauty contest, making their apparent rivalry evident.

The only thing they had in common during the event was that the organisers insisted that Deepika and Asin come up with one question each, only then did they ask questions from the contestants and that too during the swimsuit round.

Well, southern beauty Asin seems to have become a true competition for a lot of our B-town hotties!

Deepika Padukone scared of snakes

While shooting for the second issue ofHarper's Bazaar in Thailand, Deepika Padukone found snakes in quite close proximity. Talking about the snake attack, an ophidiophobicDeepika says, "I have always had a phobia about snakes. I don't mind anything from lizards to insects, but I am terrified of snakes. We were given these fancy villas in the middle of a forest at a resort called The Banyan Tree. I was relaxing outside my room at night when I happened to look down near my feet and saw a huge snake, almost three feet long with it's hood raised, staring at me!"

Deepika shudders and says, "It was THE scariest moment of my life. I jumped and screamed loudly. My mom was in her room and came out to see all the commotion was about but by that time the snake had slithered away."

But Deepika prefers to cite the incident as a positive one. She says, "In India, we worship snakes and I feel the fact that I actually saw one was a blessing for me. How many people encounter snakes in real life? It's a very good sign.

It was a privilege shooting for Harper's Bazaar India's second edition. Atul Kasbekar shot some great pictures in Thailand. We'd shoot only in the evenings during sunset so we call it a spa shoot. We would relax through out the day at the spas in our hotel. I took my mum along and spent quality time with her. It was more a holiday than work."

Deepika is always ready for a good cause. Last week, she walked the ramp in a Carolina Herrera dress for Mai Mumbai at the LFW a show put up by Vikram Chatwal and Naomi Campbell to raise funds for the 26/11 victims of the terror attacks.

Deepika says, "I walked the ramp at the last minute as I had to fly to Bangalore for the Bengaluru Marathon press conference. But since it was for the cause Mai Mumbai, I stayed back. The funds are going for 26/11 victims and provide infrastructure like ambulances and first aid so I had to be there. It was a good cause and Mumbai has given me so much."

Bipasha, Kareena, Priyanka are Bollywood’s ‘hot’ girls

Not everyone can carry off a bikini well. In Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra are the stars who do it with panache thanks to their attitude and confidence, say fashion experts. While Kareena wore a lemon bikini for Tashan and became the talk of the town for her size zero, Priyanka slipped into a sexy golden swimsuit for Dostana.

“Kareena and Priyanka carried off their bikini act in their respective movies pretty well because they had the right attitude and confidence to carry off the two-piece with aplomb. They were sure of their bodies as well as the way they were looking on the camera,” ace photographer Dabboo Ratnani said.

According to Mumbai-based celebrity designer Gavin Miguel, Bipasha rocked the big screen when she wore a bikini in Dhoom 2. “Bipasha really took the audience by surprise with her bikini act in the movie. She looked hot, sexy and very confident. The best part about her is that she has got a well-proportioned body and so a two-piece looks good on her,” said Miguel.

‘It’ll even be nice to do a film together’: Shah Rukh

Shah Rukh Khan expressed that holding back releases from multiplexes was no ‘strike’ or ‘embargo’. “It is just a pipeline in the entire system that needs some working. We are not going to cut our nose to spite our face.

We aren’t fighting out of greed or for profit. We are fighting for equality. Our cry is ‘Fair rights for Friday nights’.

This is no show of power; the mission is just to bring about fair dialogue between the producers, distributors and exhibitors.

Every film should be treated equally,” he said. “We don’t consider the multiplex owners to be ‘mafia’. We’re passionate filmmakers who’ll continue investing time, energy and money in movies.

We are the employees of the audience and not of the multiplexes,” added SRK. Hopefully some good will emerge out of the dialogue between the forum and the exhibitors; after all it brought Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh together.

“It’s nice to sit on the podium together, it’ll be nice to sit in a car together, it’ll even be nice to do a film together,” said Shah Rukh. “We’re mature, intelligent people, I’m a little less intelligent than Aamir, but our camaraderie is really a non-issue right now. There are bigger things that need attention.”

‘We’re not splitting’: Hrithik

Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan has rubbished reports of his having split with wife Suzanne saying that he is having “a picnic” with her and his kids.

A leading Mumbai tabloid reported that Hrithik and Suzanne have parted ways when she had moved to her parents’ house. “It’s too funny! Yes, Suzanne shifted to her parents’ place with the kids two days ago and I was to join her on my return as there is a white ant treatment going on in my house and a section of my floor is being renovated.

I’m with Suzanne right now having a picnic with my wife, kids and in-laws,” said Roshan Junior. It was allegedly reported that that trouble began to brew in their paradise after Roshan started becoming cosy with his Kites co-star, Mexican actress Barbara Mori. But none of this is true.

Deepika Padukone: Not insecure

A lovely bouquet of flowers was recently presented to Ranbir Kapoor in front of Deepika Padukone. Interestingly, the bouquet was from a secret admirer who even proposed marriage in the greeting card that came with it.

And girlfriend Deepika, instead of getting suspicious simply laughed it off. A source said: “The duo burst out laughing as Ranbir’s secret admirer expressed her desire to marry him. It shows Deepika is not insecure, possessive or jealous.” Well, we’re sure Deepika must be getting her share of flowers, too. If not, Ranbir can send her some... After all this is one ‘budding’ romance!

Mugdha was flying high

Mugdha Godse -- the promising newcomer from Fashion seems to be highly inspired by “realistic” filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar. The actress wanted her drunk-scene from Jail to look convincing; so she actually consumed a bottle of champagne for a song sequence.

“For a song in Jail where Neil offers champagne to Mugdha, Mugdha insisted that actual champagne be poured into the glass. Madhur wanted to get the scene right and went for multiple retakes.

As a result Mugdha ended up consuming champagne sufficient enough to make her pleasantly tipsy,” we were informed. Of course the unit had reason enough to laugh their hearts out, but Mugdha was flying high and wouldn’t allow anyone to dampen her ‘spirit’.

Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2009

So, the results of the most awaited event in the glamour world are out and we have the names of the hottest desi girls in town. The panel of judges Sushmita Sen, Asin, Deepika Padukone, Mickey Broadman, Anil Chopra, Ravi Krishnan, Madhur Bhandarkar, Nandita Mahtani and Ajay Devgan eventually decided the fate of the contestents and so Shriya Kishore was crowned as Miss India Earth, Pooja Chopra as Miss India World and Ekta Chaudhury as Miss India Universe 2009.
The evening’s hosts Madhavan and Malaika Arora Khan sparked the evening with their superb chemistry and also a dazzling dance performance. Genelia D’ Souza was marvelous with her performance on old numbers. Equally ravishing was Kangana Ranaut as she did a jig on numbers like Mera Piya Ghar, Nimbuda and Barso Re while Priyanka Chopra (clearly the queen of stage) was worth the whole ride across town eventually dancing (with full enthu support of Shiamak Davar’s troupe) of course to Ma Ka Ladla and Desi Girl.
