Abhishek Bachchan's Next film with Ash

Oh my, Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan and his beautiful wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are set to light up the silver screen once again in director of "Delhi Belly" Abhinay Deo's next movie.  Abhishek seems the most enthused to work on this project with the director.  He says, "Yes, I'm doing Abhinay Deo's film. I've always been impressed by his ads. And when I heard he was making feature films I was keen to work with him," says Abhishek who starred in the 2009 box office hit "Dehli-6".
But despite all the success, Abhishek Bachchan insists what matters the most to him is to enjoy working on a movie. "My first release last year was "Sarkar Raj." I went on to "Drona." I ended last year with "Dostana." Then came "Delhi 6." I had a wonderful time making all of them. I'm happy with the work I've done regardless of whether the film has been successful or not. The important thing is to enjoy the journey of making the film. Because that's all you finally take home. I look back on the year with fond memories."
Abhishek is also looking forward to working with his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, on a film inspired by "Abhimaan," a 70s musical drama in which both his parents starred. The movie will be directed by his friend Rajiv Menon.

"Rajiv is a very dear friend. He directed Aishwarya earlier in the Tamil film "Kandukondain Kandukondain." He approached us with a subject that isn't exactly a remake of "Abhimaan." But it's very similar. We've both approved and attached ourselves to the subject," said Abhishek.

Shilpa Shetty spoke to Desi Hits about her next moves!

o when are you going West next, shilpa?"Well, I may be in the West for the India Day Parade in New York to be the Grand Marshall.  It's an opportunity to celebrate being Indian and I'm looking forward to it because it's been going on for 29 years."  We hear singer Jay Sean will be a guest at the parade with you, have you met him before? "I have met Jay.  He's extremely talented. I hear they're expecting 60,000 people to show up and that's exciting."

Tell us about your experience on Big Brother UK?  Was that your platform into the western world?  "Totally.  I have to give credit to Big Brother for rediscovering me. It was a good thing at the end of the day. I'm happy to have brought awareness to the issue of racism. I'm happy that people recognize me as someone who is not only Indian, but has made a name for herself in the global audience as well."

What did you think of the UK while you were there?  "It must be really difficult to be discriminated against when living in a foreign country.  When I got out of the Big Brother house, people received me with a lot of love and perceived me as someone with a great deal of patience and dignity, that's a compliment."

You had some controversy with Jade Goody at the Big Brother house with her racist remarks.  Did you get to see her before she passed away?  "Unfortunately, God bless her soul, she slipped into a coma the day I landed in London. I'm glad the air was cleared before she passed away and there were no ill feelings."

How was your return to India?  "I've been working for the last 17 years now. I think the glamour always preceded the talent.  It changed after Big Brother and I was internationally recognized, but I'm still the same person that I was, I haven't changed."

Do you keep in touch with Richard Gere after the controversy created when he kissed you on the cheek at an aids awareness event?  "I was in Canada recently to present him with an award. I have a great deal of respect for him.  I think that's one of the reasons I'm more well known in the West. Not a very good thing to be known for, but I've always believed you meet people for a reason, and through our work against AIDS discrimination and creating awareness, we were able to achieve what we set out to achieve."

Bollywood Film 'Kaminey' Promotes Safe Sex

Bollywood does something completely new and uses its talent to increase AIDS awareness in India. Rumor has it that the film "Kaminey," set to release August 14, features a new track that promotes safe sex.The innovative song is being written and composed by the director himself, leading film maker, Vishal Bharadwaj and is being sung by none other than "Chaiyya Chaiyya" singer, Sukhwinder Singh. Heartthrob Shahid Kapoor will be lip-syncing the song in the film as his character, Guddu.The buzz is that the video for the song focuses on the usage of condoms and is being filmed in a backdrop with red lighting. Shahid Kapoor's character will have a red ribbon around his neck, perhaps symbolic of the red AIDS awareness ribbon. Quite controversial for a film industry that finds kisses to be taboo!!The lyrics to the song include, "Bhawra aaya aayaa re, gun gun karta aayaa re ... Yeh ishq nahih aasan, AIDS ka khatra hai ... pathwar pehen kar jaana- yeh aag ka dariya hai.

Katrina Kaif's Sari Shrinks in Half at 'De Dana Dan' Movie Shoot

Katrina Kaif who recently criticized Kareena Kapoor for using her body to sell movie tickets was caught in a risqué moment herself. Okay, so it wasn't exactly her fault, still it was funny to hear that the serious actress was caught being a little sexy herself.
Katrina Kaif was working on a dance sequence for the movie 'De Dana Dan' when her full-length sari shrank in half during a rain scene. The chiffon sari created a rather sensual experience for all of those looking on. The long sari shrank to knee-length, revealing that, yes, Katrina Kaif does in fact have legs!
The director however was quick to recover Katrina Kaif's dignity. He did close-ups and mid-length shots of the modest actress instead of full length shots. Somehow this turned out to be better than the full length shots that were supposed to have taken place in the film.
The designer clothes don't usually shrink, but Katrina Kaif kept her cool despite the mess up from the costume department.

It may be hard to believe but Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has known her boyfriend Salman Khan for six years, however, neither one has openly talked about their former relationship. Yet, while she is keeping mum on the actual relationship, she is opening up about Salman the man and how she knows him personally.

"He has been a wonderful person for the last six years I have known him. He has got a great soul and he is very fearless. He is not afraid of anything and he is not an insecure person. A lot of people live their lives with so much insecurity - fear of rejection, of losing things. But he doesn't fear. And he tries to teach me that," Katrina was quoted as saying.

She also revealed that Salman has a way of negating bad things in others and instead sees their positive side. She also added that Salman has been a guide for her in Bollywood and in life.
"For me, he has been a great teacher and a great guide. He has seen me grow up in the last six years. For 18 to 24 is a journey, especially for a young girl. At times, he says you are changing. And I say, I am changing because I am growing. He says, 'Be careful, don't change into something that is not good'," said Katrina.
So why is she willing to talk about all that but not their romantic relationship?
Well Katrina says she's too much of a sensitive person to make her private life public, thus she chooses not to talk about it.
