Amitabh Bachchan with Rekha

Amitabh Bachchan was in a jittery situation on Saturday evening when Rekha walked up to the Bachchan family to exchange hugs and kisses.

Some ghosts are difficult to exorcise. One such rose from the dead at the 54th Filmfare Awards night at Yashraj Studios. Big B was sitting next to Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan (in the same order) when Rekha walked to SRK to exchange greetings.

Seeing Abhishek next to SRK, Rekha could not stop planting a neat peck on the cheek of Bachchan junior. Then she turned to Ash, who rose from her seat and hugged Rekha.

Since Big B was the only one of the group left, it was obvious that Rekha would at least exchange greetings (if not a kiss or a hug) with the senior Bachchan. But before Rekha could free from the embrace of the Bachchan bahu, Big B stood up from his seat and walked away.

Must say everyone’s eyes at the venue were glued to Rekha as she hobnobbed with the Bachchans. If only Big B hadn’t walked away, we might have had a different headline in Sunday’s tabloids.

Close but no cigar!

Prateeksha, Mumbai July 10, 2009 Fri 2:02 PM

Same paper. Same page. Same topic. Different day. Yesterday was yesterday. Today is the above !!

Thank you Mid Day for your humbleness.

Thank you EF for your responses in the affirmative.

Thank you EF for your responses NOT in the affirmative.

Thank you to those that read and read the lines in between. And to those that completely missed it.

Thank you to those for getting the humor. Particularly on the MATES - it was a bit risque !

Thank you EF for drawing my attention to the harshness of Karan Johar’s remark. He does not feature in my blog at all ! Unless you are taking the ID ‘K.Jo’ to be him. It is not, its a fake ID.

Thank you Rochelle for your honesty. I love you even more. I hope the above media piece puts you to some rest. When your favorite team looses it does rattle you a bit, gets you edgy ! Relax !

PLANT A SAPLING FOR GREATER GREENING !

DO NOT PUT YOUR TV OR MUSIC SYSTEM ON ‘STANDBY’ MODE - SWITCH IT OFF WHEN NOT IN USE !

PUT YOUR AIR CONDITIONER TEMPERATURE DOWN JUST ONE DEGREE, OR UP A DEGREE IN HEAT OR COLD MODES ! IT WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO YOUR COMFORT, BUT IT WILL, TO THE COMFORT OF THE ENVIRONMENT !

DO NOT OVER CHARGE YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR YOUR LAP TOP !

SWITCH OFF THAT EXTRA LIGHT BULB IN THE ROOM, AND SWITCH IT OFF COMPLETELY WHEN YOU LEAVE IT ! USE ENERGY SAVING BULBS !

GENTS - PUT THE TAP OFF WHEN SHAVING. LADIES - PUT THE SHOWER OFF WHEN YOU LATHER SHAMPOO FOR YOUR LUSTROUS HAIR !

30% OF THE WORLD’S VILLAGES EVEN IN THE 21ST CENTURY STILL DO NOT HAVE ELECTRICITY. LET US SUPPORT DR. PACHAURI’S MOVEMENT OF SOLAR LANTERNS FOR THEM. I DO !

FOR THOSE IN REGIONS OF HEAVY RAINFALL, LET US COLLECT THE RAIN WATER FOR OUR DOMESTIC USE - CLEANING, WASHING ETC., INSTEAD OF THE MUNICIPAL SUPPLY. WE DO !

LET US SPREAD THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF GLOBAL WARMING TO JUST ONE PERSON EVERY DAY !

My love as ever ….

Amitabh Bachchan

Unwell Big B more concerned about health of friends

Unwell Big B more concerned about health of friends  

New Delhi, July 9 (IANS) Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is on bed rest following a stomach ache, but he is more concerned about the health of his politician friend Amar Singh, thespian Dilip Kumar and Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray and keeping himself updated on them.

The megastar went to Lilavati Hospital Wednesday morning after a stomach ache complaint.

"I was to travel to Singapore today (Thursday) to be with my dearest friend and family member, Amar Singh ji who undergoes a surgery for a kidney transplant. In this hour of trial, I needed to be with him but the doctors advise a few days of rest and observation for me," he posted on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com.

"Jaya (wife) and Abhishek (son) and Aishwarya (daughter-in-law) are there already and I shall join them soon, health permitting," added Big B who is resting at his residence Prateeksha in Mumbai.

The 67-year-old further expressed concern for Dilip Kumar, who was recently down with malaria and admitted to Lilavati Hospital. He is also worried about Bal Thackeray, who has undergone an angioplasty.

"My idol and, I am certain, the idol of millions, respected Dilip Kumar has been unwell and in hospital. I had been in constant touch with (his wife) Saira ji when I was out of the country. I'm now happy to read that he is back home. May he enjoy good health ever," he wrote.

"Bala Saheb Thakeray has also been rather unwell and within a short span of time has been in hospital almost every other month. On all those occasions, I have been out of the country and unable to express my concern to him personally. I have been speaking to his son Udhav and he informs me today after I called that Bala Saheb is showing signs of improvement. I wish him good health," he further wrote.

The megastar also recalled Thackeray's gesture during his 1982 accident.

"I shall never forget his concern for my health when I was down in 1982 in the Breach Candy Hospital after the 'Coolie' incident. Being a great cartoonist, apart from his political presence in Maharashtra and India, he had most interestingly done a painting which depicted that even though Yamraj (the God of death) had come to visit me, I had been able to fight him off successfully.

"I am not a cartoonist, nor a painter, but I wish similar sentiment to him. May he ever fight off the evil of Yamraj," he explained.

The actor, who was last seen in dud "Delhi-6", also wrote that he is still unwell and hasn't recovered from the stomach ache.

"I write in some pain and some concern. I write in the anguish of these repeated episodes in my life... The tests have been conducted and more results followed today. They do not show anything alarming, but the symptoms persist, albeit on a lesser scale than last time," he posted.

Amitabh Bachchan in hospital for 'routine checkup'

Mumbai, July 8 (IANS) Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan went to Lilavati Hospital here Wednesday morning for what was described as "a routine checkup", though in his blog he has complained of a stomach ache.

Though the hospital authorities declined to comment, the same old stomach problem that Bachchan, 66, has been suffering from for long may have recurred.

In his blog in the morning, Bachchan has admitted to getting a tummy ache just before he embarked for Mumbai from London a day earlier.

On arrival, he drove straight to his doctor late Tuesday night and underwent an examination and a CT scan. These revealed nothing but since the trouble persisted, more tests were advised for Wednesday, he says in his blog.

Until all the test results are out and a line of treatment finalised, he has cancelled all his shooting and travel plans, he writes.

Bachchan has vented his frustration saying despite "extreme care", the problem keeps recurring and medication and rest have been the order of the day.
