Sonam Kapoor with Fawd Khan promote Khoobsurat’ on KBC and amir khan meet again with him


 The company of stars on set … the lovely Sonam Kapoor along with the handsome Fawd Khan from Pakistan, who promote their film ‘Khoobsurat’ on KBC ..

Aamir Khan and the chance meet again with him in the Atrium of YRF … this atrium seems destined for meetings with important people ..

But in the true sense of the word the real heroes are the ones that appear on KBC with their list of difficulties and issues .. and to see them playing the game for a cause which can resolve their most deepest problematic legacies in their individual homes .. is the most heartening to behold ..

Each day on set of KBC is a test of  not just our knowledge, but indeed the heart beats of the nation .. 

In the hallowed precincts of this unusual but rather intriguing game is hidden the substance which brings with it the essence of better times, a resolve resolved, a home getting back to being a home … the fulfilment of dreams and desires, mostly not for them selves, but for those that struggle among them ..

It is an honor and a most humbling experience to be among those that have never perhaps had the opportunities that we get within a whisshhh … to be with those that have suffered the pain of poverty and abuse and limited means .. to be with those that bring such reverence ever - their little hand made gifts of presentation and its reciprocation .. 

We are a nation of such deep magnitude and feeling that it shall be impossible to fathom our real selves .. 

We ourselves would find it difficult to express what it means to us when we confront these issues …

God has been kind …. very kind …

Shamitabh my new film with the highly successful and talented Dhanush


 Switching one to the other is a boon to those that can accomplish this unnatural feat. There shall be admiration ever for them that, despite the trap they fall in, are able to survive and exist in such environs.
There needs to be endeavour to survive the effects of this activity. Many there are in this universe that are able to do so .. many do not, even though they believe in them.
I would like to believe that an arrogance of known facts .. and arrogance of behavioural belief, shall never last the test of time. Time that shall endeavour to bring about a view point that shall be all inclusive and all cosmopolitan. Time is not property to any - you can possess it or not, but it shall never have capacity to be caught, for it moves with the times of time.
Many are they that defy such. They encounter the intricacies of time, only to be wiser and better equipped. Better equipped to be able to stave off any impressions of negativity that often befalls us ..
Many succumb though to this vagary. They fall never to rise. They may be right to have accepted such. Many do not. Many opt for another favourable moment, a slight of hand, the option of a possible misjudgement .. and many other ..
But what prevails in the end of it all is the factual impressions of fact and truth. These are immortal givens in life. They shall only change if the universe were to change, geographically, meta physically, scientifically or astrologically. Time though shall always prevail even in the most adverse. It is our only constant, our only perpetual, our companion for life - if life remains limited … as the present case may be … !!

A bluish tinge of lonely walk : Big B

 A bluish tinge of lonely walk ..

Beneath the skills of the walking talk.

The age of growth expounds with flair ..

What the devil do I care .

There is not much to say today ..

The skies were pale and filled with grey.

I know not why I poet be,

Its not for me, to be, for me …

A tool that covers many a side,

Is what is prime, in ours with pride ..

I linger on without much thought,

It is distraught and more distraught ..

Do bear with me this day of DAY,

I do have another way ..

But that is not intended, true

There be so many, of different hue ..

I am but small and in no consequence

For I do live in spiked gilded fence ..

'They' feel that I am known to them

I’d rather be than pander them ..

Regrettable that it came to pass

A half filled glass, a half filled glass …

The morning harsh, beckons vivid and clear

I must be gone  .. be gone, my dear ..

Big B will apparently do the voiceovers for Dhanush in Shamitabh

 Amitabh Bachchan to lend his voice to Dhanush

Big B will apparently do the voiceovers for Dhanush as he plays a deaf and dumb character in 'Shamitabh

Dhanush apparently plays a deaf and mute junior artiste in R Balki’s film, Shamitabh, which has the Ranjhanaa actor and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles. It is now being said that Bachchan will lend his voice to Dhanush in the film. 

If a source close to the film is to be believed, Dhanush and Amitabh recently shot for the film in Mumbai. “Dhanush plays a deaf and mute junior artist in the film and Amitabh Bachchan will do the voiceover for Dhanush’s character. Among the scenes that were recently shot was one where Dhanush, after a long struggle, gets his due. In this sequence, he has won an award and is shown walking the red carpet as well,” says the source. 

The film, which went on the floors in February, has been shot in locations like Mumbai and Goa. It may be pointed out that Shamitabh will mark the Bollywood debut of Akshara Haasan, legendary actor Kamal Haasan’s daughter. The film is Dhanush’s second Hindi project, after the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Ranjhanaa. It remains to be seen whether the actor will be able to impress audiences once again with his role in Shamitabh. Buzz also has it that he will be doing a cameo in the sequel to the Hindi film, Tanu Weds Manu.

Amitabh Bachchan : After Deewar, My Mother Wept Like a Child

 Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, posted an emotional eulogy for his mother Teji Bachchan, on her birth anniversary today (August 12), on his blog.

The actor remembered the support and strength his mother gave him during his 'disastrous days in Bollywood'. He wrote, "My Mother sat by my side in those early disastrous years of my film profession, running her fingers through my hair and reassuring me that all would be well."

He said that though she never showed or expressed any emotion that would trouble her, in front of the family, "found the absolute moment to express it to me -- after the first trial she saw of Deewar."

"My Mother wept for hours like a child, for a child whom she felt had actually passed away in the film."

The actor, praising his mother said that she was the most of the most beautiful, compassionate, effervescent lady in his life. The 72-year-old actor also said that he seeks strength from his late mother.

"Each day I look at the face of the most beautiful, compassionate, effervescent lady in my life. I seek her blessings as she looks down upon me from the side of her husband my Father. I seek strength from her."

In his blog, Big B remembered the day when his father and celebrated poet Harivanshrai Bachchan died. "As I wheeled her next to her husband, she became silent. Not a word was spoken, not a nerve in her otherwise active body moved and after a while I took her back silently to her room upstairs. Throughout the mourning and the prayers and the chautha she remained dark glassed and silent. It was as though she herself had shaded herself from the reality -- true in many ways, for she never ever did speak or ask after him till she herself joined him."

Big B also talked about his mother's youthful days when she would "walk down the corridors of her college, where young students would await her arrival wondering which clothing she would fashion on the day and what the essence of her perfume."

Read full entry here:

The hour has passed. The early rings of the 12th of August bear within. They are precious and dear and all encompassing. They are what we are. They be what they be for us and me. They were so, we were.

12 th August - The birth of her that gave birth to me!!

Each day I look at the face of the most beautiful, compassionate, effervescent lady in my life. I seek her blessings as she looks down upon me from the side of her husband my Father. I seek strength from her, and wisdom from my Father. They stay together in the room I preserve, in the house that commands my first ever - and will, till the last of me - 'Prateeksha' -- swagat sab ke liye yahan par, nahin kissi ke liye prateeksha (welcome all to this abode, but not a wait for any) -- words that ring true in one of my Father's works, but he felt it right to name the house in its meaning.

Just below her, another family togetherness in picture -- my Grandfather, Sardar Khazan Singh Suri and my Grandmother, a Sodhi, the family that has traditionally been the prabandhak's of the Anandpur Sahib Gurudwara, one of the most revered in the Sikh divinity -- my Mother's Father and Mother.

My Mother Tej Kaur Suri, before marriage, was just 3 months old when her Mother passed away. She never did ever experience the joy and care and the most important company of a Mother. She never knew what a Mother was! Is that in some way indicative of how dear a Mother she herself became, when we were born? I often wonder, as does my Father in his autobiography.

I touch their faces through the enlarged miracles of photography, stand silently before the beginning of the day, and wish and pray that they extend their love and care to me and the family.

The Ramayan sung in tune, the Hanuman Chalisa rendered by me, and at times the Gurubaniplays constantly in that room where my Father breathed his last. And as I cross over the space in front of the pictures, I feel the presence of my Father's bed as he lay just there in his last moments, his hand in mine, warm and soft, just like the times when he would extend it early mornings to me as a child, for the walks we went together on. The monitors on his being went erratic, and then with a gentle jerk of his body, he ... 

I went up to my Mother, asleep in her own realm of a dysfunctional mind due to her extreme condition, and spoke to her. I cannot remember or gather what I said. What and how does one tell a Mother that she has lost her husband and me my Father?

I put her with great difficulty on her wheel chair and carried her down to where my Father lay, unable to answer her repeated questioning of where she was being taken and why. And as I wheeled her next to her husband, she became silent. Not a word was spoken, not a nerve in her otherwise active body moved and after a while I took her back silently to her room upstairs. Throughout the mourning and the prayers and the chautha she remained dark glassed and silent. It was as though she herself had shaded herself from the reality -- true in many ways, for she never ever did speak or ask after him till she herself joined him. 

My Mother, unknown to my Father till they accidentally met, My Mother, who had never heard of who my Father was. My Mother who left her all - her luxuries of her opulent home in Lahore and Rawalpindi and Lyalpur and Karachi, her English Governesses and a fleet of my Grandfather's Lancer's and Rolls Royce's, to marry my Father, an unknown of meagre means, in their very first meeting, within hours.

My Mother, who fought against caste and creed, tradition and old values, to come and live in an alien land in the heart of conservative Allahabad, with my Father.

My Mother, the lioness that would take on an entire gang of thugs who had dared to threaten her children when they were small.

My Mother, who sat by my side in those early disastrous years of my film profession, running her fingers through my hair and reassuring me that all would be well.

My Mother that never showed or expressed any emotion that would trouble her, in front of us, so we would not be disturbed, despite some horrid and ugly circumstances and who after years and years of this bearing, could not consume anymore pain and hurt, found the absolute moment to express it to me -- after the first trial she saw of Deewar.

My Mother, who wept for hours like a child, for a child whom she felt had actually passed away in the film.

My Mother, with the gentleness of her chiffon saris, and the perfumed walk down the corridors of her College, where young students would await her arrival wondering which clothing she would fashion on the day and what the essence of her perfume.

My Mother, who gave cheer and reason to smile, to all that came in her proximity.

My Mother, born on the 12 th of August, in the year which even she did not quite remember, except that she was perhaps 10 - 11 years younger than her husband ..

My Mother, like all Mother's -- the best in the entire universe.

Happy Birthday Ma

Amitabh Bachchan's 'Yudh' Character is 'Dull' Says Juhi Chawla


 Bollywood actress JuhiChawla found megastarAmitabhBachchan's character dull in his debut fiction show 'Yudh'.

The actress, who has been roped in as the brand ambassador for Sony Entertainment's new general entertainment channel 'Sony Pal', said she did not like Big B's character in the show.

"I saw one episode of 'Yudh' and during the show, appeared advertisements of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'. And he looked so dapper in that. I think I will watch KBC instead of the serial. I found his character dull and may be I don't want to see him in that avatar," Juhi said in an interview here.

Bachchan's 'Yudh', was touted as one of the biggest shows on the small screen, but it evoked a lukewarm response from the audiences.

ALSO READ: Amitabh Bachchan's 'Yudh of coincidences' with Anil Kapoor

The 46-year-old actress, on her part, is open to the idea of working for television, if something exciting comes across.

"It (show) has to be something outstanding and not just any story. I would like to do a show where I can make people laugh and cry, something that adds value to one's life," she added.

The 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak' actress said she also does not mind judging reality shows.

"I don't mind... let's see what comes up. I had done one season of 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa' and enjoyed it," she added.

On her latest sting with 'Sony Pal', she said the channel aims at adding value to viewers' lives besides entertaining them.

"The channel aims to entertain and uplift one's thoughts.

I am happy that I am the brand ambassador and I value it. I told them to have a show with me. But as of now there is no show. May be in the near future, the channel might do a show with me," she added.

While Juhi detests the typical 'saas-bahu' serials, shows like 'Mahadev', 'Jodha Akbar' and comedy serials impress her.

"I wonder how a petty issue is dragged for episodes. I don't see all serials but some of them are really good. I like 'Mahadev', 'Jodha Akbar' and I thought they are very well written and produced," she said.
