Cartoonist Aseem Trivedi to enter ‘Bigg Boss 6’; wants to be ‘seen and heard’

Mumbai: His arrest led to nationwide fury, and now firebrand cartoonist Aseem Trivedi is all set to make his mark in the showbiz world via a reality show.

The cartoonist, whose anti-corruption cartoons led to arrest and sedition charges (which were later dropped), will feature as an inmate in the latest season of ‘Bigg Boss’.

The show, which will start from October 7, has superstar Salman Khan as its host for the third consecutive year.

The cartoonist’s father, Ashok Trivedi, confirmed the news to a daily and said that his son was taking part in the show to be “seen and heard’. “

“My son is not glamour-struck, nor does he have any inclination to be a part of the showbiz. He wanted to be on the show so that he can be seen and heard,” said Ashok.

Colors, the channel on which the show will be aired, reportedly approached Aseem right after he was released from jail.

"He will surely talk about his campaign but only if he is asked about it by other contestants. It is not that he wants to use the show as a platform to highlight his campaign, though I know he would not be able to stop himself if provoked. Aseem had time at hand and he thought the show was the best way to reach out to people. He is not doing this for money. He would rather enjoy being inside the house, which is a new experience altogether," added his father.

Aseem Trivedi, an active member of Anna’s India Against Corruption movement, was arrested on Septemeber 9 after he posted ‘objectionable’ cartoons on his website. The cartoonist was also charged of sedition, which were later dropped.

The show’s host, Salman Khan, meanwhile, has assured that this year the show will be for family audience and will include the common man as well in the show.

Sources have claimed that Hindi poet Kumar Vishwas will represent the common man in the show this year along with Aseem. Other celebrities who have been confirmed for the show include cricketer-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu, ‘Gulabi gang’ leader Sampat Pal, TV actresses Urvashi Dholakia and Aksha Goradia.

Shirish Kunder, Vijender Singh in Bigg Boss 6?

If grapevine is to be believed, boxing champ Vijender Singh, filmmaker Shirish Kunder and veteran actress Aruna Irani are likely to be a part of the new season of controversial reality show Bigg Boss 6, which goes on air on Sunday.

To be hosted by Salman Khan, the show is likely to have
inmates from all walks of life, whether it's sports, television, films or Page 3 circuit.

Here is a tentative list of contestants:

Ashutosh Rana: Character actor Ashutosh, who has been a part of over 50 films, has been approached for his rustic style and temper.

Vijender Singh: Boxing champ Vijender has a huge fan base. His boxing skills might come in handy considering the verbal battles that take place in the house.

Satish Shah: Popular Bollywood comedian has been associated with more than 100 films. His comic timing will be something to watch out for in "Bigg Boss" house.

Mahesh Manjrekar: A well-known Marathi theatre and cinema personality, Manjrekar is known for directing films like "Astitva" and "Vaastav" and he has given a new dimension to the portrayal of negative characters with his power packed performances in films like "Wanted".

Luv-Kush: Actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha's twin sons have also been approached for the show.

Shirish Kunder: The filmmaker, who has directed flops like Jaan-e-Man and Joker, has also been approached.

Kavita Kaushik: Known for playing Chandramukhi Chautala in the popular comedy show "FIR", the actress has won a huge fan following for her role in the show.

Aruna Irani: A veteran character artist, who has been there and done it all, may join the gang.

The list also includes TV actresses Rashmi Desai Sandhu, Jennifer Winget, Sangita Ghosh, composer Bappa Lahiri, Udit Narayan's son Aditya, singer Anushka Manchanda and Sheetal Mafatlal, industrialist Atulya Mafatlal's wife and a regular in page 3 circuit.

CONFIRMED: Gulabi gang leader to participate in Bigg Boss 6

She is likely to share the house of controversy with the likes of Urvashi Dholakia of popular TV show Kausauti Zindagi ki, Asha Goradia of TV show Lagi Tujshe Lagan, former cricketer and BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu, Faisla Khan- brother of Aamir Khan and model Sayali Bhagat.

Sampat landed in Mumbai on Thursday and talking to HT on telephone said, “even as the Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will entertain the gossip lovers in the show, I would like to raise the issues related with women”.

“I have been fighting for the rights of the women in Bundelkhand region and my message was limited to Uttar Pradesh Sampat said and added “I was looking for bigger platform where the women across the country know about the movement launched by the Gulabi Sena, hope that the house of Big Boss would give me that opportunity”.

Gulabi gang leader Sampat Pal

“Though I will stay with the strangers in the house still I will deal with them coolly. It’s an opening to make the people feel my strength and share the experience”, she said.
The Big Boss crew visited Badausha- the native village of Sampat and remained there for 10 days to shoot the activities of Gulabi Gang and her daily chores.

In 2008 Sampat went to France and in 2009 she visited Italy to precipitate in the programme organized by the feminine organizations. Around half a dozen books and documentary have been published and prepared on her life and struggle. No doubt today the number of members of gulabi gang is 1.90 lakh and still swelling.

Sampat contested the 2012 assembly election on Congress ticket from Manikpur assembly seat. Though she lost the election yet she won the accolade of the Congress general secretary, Rahul Gandhi for mobilizing the poor masses to support Congress in the Bundelkhand region.

This Bundela lady has been raising voice against the atrocities on women since 1980. Sampat was married with Munni Lal Pal when she was 12 years old. “At the early age I decided that I would become self-reliant and started stitching garments for the village women and girls. I managed to save some money and purchased a sewing machine. Soon I opened a training center for the poor girls and helped them to become self-reliant. The villagers used to tease me. My husband tried to bully me but I remained unmoved and continued on the mission”, she said.

Why she raised Gulabi gang? “My neighbour Ram Milan used to beat up his wife regularly. I opposed his act and he threatened me of dire consequences. I decided to teach Ram Milan a lesson. I motivated the rural women folks and we beat up Ram Milan. Only after public apology he was allowed to go. The news spread all over the area and plea of women suppressed by their husbands started pouring in. A meeting of the women was held and we decided to constitute gulabi gang to fight for the justice of the women”, Sampat said.

Meera copies Veena Malik for Bigg Boss 6 entry

Pakistani actress Meera seems to be taking a cue or two from fellow actress Veena Malik. Meera is now romantically linking herself with ex-cricketer Shoaib Akhtar to get an entry into Bigg Boss 6.

Pakistani actress Veena Malik had earlier got an easy entry into Bigg Boss by claiming that she had secretly married her ex boyfriend and cricketer Mohammad Asif. Veena had further added that Veena Malik was involved in match-fixing in Pakistan cricket team.

Now, Meera has decided to join the bandwagon by claiming that though she split with Shoaib Akhtar after dating him for a year, the ex-cricketer is creating life hell for her by continuously making uncomfortable calls on her mobile.

However, Shoaib Akhtar dismissed Meera's claim by stating that he met her only twice and exchanged nothing more than a few pleasant glances. He denied having had any affair with Meera and accused the actress for linking his name with her for the sake of publicity.

Meera is doing everything she can to get an entry into Bigg Boss 6. Only time will tell if she'll succeed like how Veena Malik did!

Bigg Boss Season 6 ‘Alag Che’ Ab Family Pack Mein

COLORS, one of India’s leading Hindi General Entertainment Channels today announced the launch of the new edition of its blockbuster reality show – Bigg Boss Season6 ‘Alag Che’ (Different) that makes it apt for cohesive viewing for the entire family. Keeping the strategic shift in content and treatment, the show will be aired daily at 9pm, from Sunday to Monday starting October 7, 2012 as a wholesome family entertainer with Salman Khan delivering a parivarik punch. Speaking on the ‘alag’ factor this season, Salman Khan said, “Bigg Boss Season6 will connect with the whole family this time – there will be a lot of fun while watching the ‘nok-jhonk’ between housemates.  Just like every happy family that has different strokes for different folks, Bigg Boss’ house will also have ‘alag’ personalities, along with their quirks and eccentricities. So be ready with your family members to watch these new twists and turns, whether sitting on the couch or while you’re at your dinner table.”

Commenting on the launch of the show, Raj Nayak, CEO – COLORS said, “If Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is Dancing with the Stars, Bigg Boss is Camping with the Stars. Every season we bring something innovative to the show and to add, to the twist this season, we have opened the doors of the Bigg Boss house to ‘aam aadmi’. Giving them direct access to celebrities and their lifestyles, they will get a chance to rub shoulders with them and emerge as stars in their own right thereafter.”

Speaking about the host of the show Salman Khan, who will be seen at the helm of things, he said, “Salman Khan has a universal appeal – he is loved by everybody from a 7 year old to a 70-year old. So we are now bringing your favorite star to your living room every week in an ‘alag’ avatar.”

With a tag line that promises to be ‘Alag Che’, this season will be unlike any season before in more than one way! Bringing in a new set of rules, surprises and elements, Bigg Boss Season6 comes with a philosophy of keeping it clean and entertaining to ensure maximum fun for the entire family. Any housemates that violate Bigg Boss’ rules will be reprimanded to the PANIC ROOM, which is yet another ‘alag’ element this season.

Giving the audience something more to talk about, Bigg Boss Season6 – ‘Alag Che’ will not just be about celebrities who will enter Bigg Boss but also welcome with open arms, an ‘aam aadmi’. This will give the viewers an opportunity to experience in the Bigg Boss house from a common-man’s perspective!  Making this season ‘alag’ from the previous ones, Bigg Boss will have two charming houseguests – a fish and a talking parrot to give company to the housemates.  Combining all this with the raw energy, intensity and an affable Salman Khan, this season guarantees to take over dinner table conversations and make people, sit, watch and talk about the Bigg Boss! Adding further, Manisha Sharma, Weekend Programming Head, COLORS said, “This season, Bigg Boss will be the perfect mix of emotion, drama, fun and entertainment. However, what won’t be changing is the fact that the contestants will be devoid of what we consider normal in everyday life – a phone, the TV, a wall clock etc and their reactions to being away from all that they consider dear will cause pressure cooker situations which will be interesting to watch. Evolving to exotic beings with the parrot and the fish this year, we hope the show will be a perfect blend of the common man’s views and stars with their starry tantrums”.

Talking about the new season, Deepak Dhar, Managing Director, Endemol India said, “We have always thrived to innovate and raise the bar. Season after season Bigg Boss has been the talk of town and to maintain the same amount of fanfare we have incorporated a gamut of innovations and new ideas based on our observations and learning from the Bigg Brother Format world over. With the inclusion of the common man in the Bigg Boss House, we will present a wholesome family entertainer to the viewers.”

Produced by Endemol India Private Limited, Bigg Boss presents the unique combination of reality and real, unscripted drama. It is the ultimate reality show where celebrities from different walks of life are locked in a house, for 90 days – with 63 cameras following their every little move 24×7 and Bigg Boss, the ultimate authority in the house who ensures that their stay is anything but comfortable. With this season going cleaner, the Bigg Boss house might just seem a little saner!

Kanye West splurges $1 mn for Kim Kardashian birthday

Singer Kanye West has reportedly splashed out a whopping $1 million on girlfriend, socialite Kim Kardashian's birthday preparations.

Kim Kardashian, who turns 32 on Oct 21, is fretting over getting old with a bad relationship history. So, West, 35, wants to cheer her up by giving her the best birthday ever.

"Kim has been really down about turning 32 and having two failed marriages behind her and no children, so he wants to make this extra-special," thesun.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

"Kanye has never been shy of splashing out on the women he loves, but this time he's pulling out all the stops with presents. Plus it's her first birthday since they've been together as a couple," the source added.

The singer has organised a trip to a private island of Pine Cay and is inviting many friends for a special birthday celebration. He has also ordered a special Prada bag, lined in a "KK" print, a pink diamond bracelet and a couture Chanel dress.

Aishwarya Rai and her baby Aaradhya Leaving For Chicago

Aishwarya Rai and her baby Aaradhya were snapped at the airport. The two have left for Chicago where Abhishek Bachchan is shooting Dhoom 3 for quite some time. Ash apparently decided to be with her dear hubby in the city. Needless to say, Abhi must be missing Ash and Aaradhya.

Seen dressed in black and expectedly keeping Aaradhya close to her bosom and well hidden from the paparazzi, Aishwarya left for Chicago. This time, like an Indian married woman, she was sporting sindoor as well. Is it for Teej?

There were reports that Aishwarya Rai will visit Abhi in Chicago around mid September, but she will apparently first go to New York to meet her sister-in-law Shweta Bachchan Nanda, who’s often in the city. From there, Ash along with her daughter will join Abhishek in Chicago to spend some family time.

Abhishek Bachchan is shooting for Dhoom 3 in Chicago for almost a month now. Naturally, he is missing his daughter Aaradhya and wife Aishwarya. Perhaps more so since his co-star from the film, Aamir Khan has already flown in his wife Kiran Rao and son Aazad to the city. So, it’s family time for both the actors.

Coincidentally, Aishwarya’s Chicago trip comes close to the release of Madhur Bhandarkar’s film Heroine from which she had opted out last year due to her pregnancy, almost scrapping the project until Bhandarkar approached and roped in his first choice, Kareena Kapoor. Is Ash trying to avoid media attention or the press trying to read too much in the coincidence of her visit and Heroine release.

Sunny Leone Absent For Bigg Boss 6

Sunny an ex-housemate in Bigg Boss 5 rose to stardom when she joined the Bigg Boss house last year.
She was quoted by a news agency to have said “I would never go back to the house again… it’s insane, it is crazy. But what it did for me is it opened the doors, opened a new world – something that I had never imagined.”
The ex-Bigg Boss 5 icon, who after her Bigg Boss experience ventured into acting has “Jism 2″ to her name which came off as an offer by Mahesh Bhatt who influenced her to join Bollywood while in the Bigg Boss house.
Sunny  Leone said “Bhatt saab came in the house and talked about doing a movie, this idea never crossed my mind. I thought I will exit the house and never come back to India… but complete opposite things happened,”.

According to her, reality shows in the west are categorically different from what is in India. Adding that “If you compare the reality shows here to there (US), here those who come on the show become very popular and achieve huge success. In America, if you do a reality show, they don’t care. They don’t identify people when they walk on streets, but here it does happen like that,” she lamented.
Sunny is doing well in showbiz since she left the Bigg Boss house,  she released “Jism 2″ on Aug 3, directed by Pooja Bhatt and has  lots more projects coming her way. The question is, would you love to have Sunny Leone in Bigg Boss 6?

Erotic thrillers predominantly are my domain: Emraan Hashmi

Emraan Hashmi is an actor who is known more for – well, nothing new there – his kissing and intimate scenes on screen than his acting. In several films by now, Emraan – the Kisser has ended up overshadowing Emraan – the Actor. But Hashmi believes that with women, it’s always better to maintain a diplomatic stand. The actor will soon be seen in Vishesh Films’ next – ‘Raaz 3’ – and admits being very hopeful of its prospects. Ananya Bhattacharya of Zeenews.com spoke to Emraan Hashmi about the film, and a lot more. Excerpts from the interview:

 Your liaison with Bollywood began at the age of 18 – as an assistant director on the sets of ‘Raaz’. You’ve been there in the second part, and you’re here now in ‘Raaz 3’. How does it feel to be so closely associated with the franchise?

I’ve seen the franchise take birth. That was kind of my birth as an actor also. I love the genre, I love horror. So being part of it in the second one was a dream come true. And then after that, Vikram Bhatt came back with the franchise. I guess he’s put in all the elements to make it a commercial potboiler and not just a horror film. There’s the element of thrill in it, there’s romance, great music, everything that makes it exciting. Also the fact that the film is in 3D, which could be a huge draw. People, I’m sure, have never seen this kind of 3D in Bollywood before. Vikram has really done a fantastic job with ‘Raaz 3’.

You shot to fame with an erotic thriller – ‘Murder’. Do you feel comfortable with the genre?

I’ve always felt comfortable. I’ve never really had any inhibition playing any character in an erotic thriller. Erotic thrillers predominantly are my domain – I’ve started off with that and pursued it, and it’s great that I’ve also somewhere benefited a lot from it. But I’ll always try to work with other genres also, try my hand at that and try to make that successful. But I feel I’ll eventually always have to come back to this since the audience associates me with that. So I’d say it’s a bit of everything.

Was it easy or difficult coming back to the brand called ‘Raaz’?

There were expectations, I’m sure huge ones. It’s a fantastic film to be associated with, but there was no pressure as such. At the back of your mind, you know that there’s certain connectivity with the audience. Perceivably, probably it’s a niche, but this is more of a mainstream film. So as far as the script is concerned and the way the film was being shot, the screenplay and all – it’s very commercial.

Roping you in a film sort of guarantees it’s musical success. Since the time you’ve been around, almost all your films have been musical blockbusters. Do you too contribute anything to the music of your films?

No, no. I don’t have anything to do with the music. I don’t choose the music directors or the tracks. All of it has just happened. And eventually, thankfully, all of that has worked so far.

You are one of the most popular actors in the industry today. And with ‘Shanghai’, you’ve succeeded in breaking away from the mould people generally associate you with. The character of Joginder Parmar was poles apart from what people have seen you doing. How challenging was it?

It was very challenging. It wasn’t anything even remotely close to what I’ve usually been doing over the years. I didn’t understand that character; it’s not a part of the world I’ve grown up in. Playing a character like the one in ‘Raaz 3’ is probably closer because it’s an urban character. But ‘Shanghai’ was very tough and I had to actually deconstruct a lot of things.

In ‘Raaz 3’, you have intimate scenes with both the leading ladies (Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta). Who, according to you, was better?

Both, actually. (winks and laughs) with women, it’s always better to maintain a diplomatic stand.

What sort of expectations do you have from this film?

Lot of expectations. I hope this film is a huge, huge success. It will be one. It has already received a great response with the opening show. Theatres have been pre-booked across cities and towns, tickets are sold out for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Audiences have more faith in the film, and that’s great.

Raaz 3D': Bipasha Basu speaks about playing the dark Shanaya

She’s been called ‘unconventional’, ‘bohemian’, ‘bold’. In fact a lot of such ‘unconventional’ epithets have adorned the vocabulary of people whenever it has come to describing this gorgeous lady. But Bipasha Basu isn’t just your petite, dove-eyed, dusky heroine who is there as a mere accessory in a film. 

Despite being a woman who was catapulted to fame, thanks to her bold role of a seductress and her numerous kissing and love-making scenes on screen, the actress admits being petrified whenever she has the herculean task of kissing a co-actor. Kissing a co-star, says Basu, “is terrible, scary, the worst thing in the world.” And in ‘Raaz 3’, where the actress will be seen kissing the quintessential kisser of Bollywood, Emraan Hashmi, she felt the pressure of performing well.

In a tete-a-tete with Ananya Bhattacharya of Zeenews.com, Bipasha Basu speaks about ‘Raaz 3’, her career so far, and all that goes into essaying a dark character.

Your debut was with a negative role – way back in 2001, with ‘Ajnabee’. How does it feel portraying one again?

I think it’s very challenging as an actor to dabble in a dark role because it’s very easy to be regular and simple and sweet – because that’s what we all are – we’re very regular human beings, besides being actors, in our normal space. And for a person like me, who lives a very very ordinary life, when I’m not working, it’s very exciting to be something which really challenges you and pushes you as a human being.

What about ‘Raaz 3’? How was the experience of playing Shanaya?

Excellent. I think every day was tough because it was exhausting to be that dark and I wanted to finish the film fast and get out of Shanaya. I was not very happy doing what I was during the process of making ‘Raaz 3’. It kind of was very demanding. I am generally a very happy person and to be very cut off from people, to stay not connected with people – it was not a very nice feeling. So I just wanted to finish the film and move on to something lighter or maybe go for a holiday!

After ‘Raaz’ and ‘Jism’, you’ve come a long way. ‘Raaz’ was your first commercial success, and there you were the victim. ‘Raaz 3’ sees you as the predator. Was it a conscious choice?

Yes, absolutely. I think you have to move forward. After ten years of being in the business, and doing all kinds of roles – thought-provoking, exciting, glamorous, de-glamorous – there comes a point of time when you realize that you are looking for something very unusual, never been seen in the Hindi film industry before: Shanaya is that.

You’ve worked in ‘Shob Charitro Kalponik’. How was it working with Rituparno Ghosh?

It’s probably the best film in my career, one of the most beautiful films that I’ve done. I loved the script of the film; I loved everything about it, it’s really beautiful. The story is a complex one, it explores the complexities of the man-woman relationship – a relationship between a husband and a wife. I’m very, very proud of the fact that my parents always wanted me to do a Bengali film, and I got to do such a beautiful one based on literature.

What after this?

After this, I’m acting in a film called ‘Aatma’, which is based on the supernatural again, but an extremely author-backed role – a fantastically, commercially potent film. So I’m looking for author-backed roles. It has to be commercially viable and entertaining, it shouldn’t be like an art-house creation. I want to do really human roles, and roles with meat – and one which comes across as a commercially entertaining package.

Bigg Boss 6 to have two commoners as contestants; Rajev, Delnaaz, Salman Yusuf Khan, Manish Goel approached?

With the clock ticking fast for Bigg Boss 6 to invade the small screen space, there is a lot of speculation regarding the contestants who will be roped in for this season that is due to premiere on Colors this November (2012).
Rumour mills are abuzz with the news that this time around, two contestants among the 13/14 might be commoners. Our source says that a lot of wannabe celebs are trying their luck to get locked for three months in the Big Boss house this year.
As usual, the creatives of both the channel and the production house (Endemol) are sounding out a number of out-of-work celebs and upcoming talent. One such name doing the rounds is Salman Yusuff Khan. This winner of Dance India Dance is currently doing Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa along with Isha Sharvani.
The buzz also states that Rajev Paul, his ex-wife Delnaz Irani and Manish Goel may have also been contacted by the Bigg Boss team. It is also reported that American socialite and international reality show actress Kim Kardashian might also be part of the inmates this year.
With last year’s inmate, Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone turning a film actress with Jism 2 does Kim also have Bollywood plans? This is for everyone to wait and watch.
When we called up Rajev to get his side of the story, he remarked, “This is news to me, but I would be more than happy to be a part of this show, if invited.” We tried calling up Manish and Salman, but both were unavailable for comment. Delnaz also denied having been approached.
A source says that the inclusion of Rajev and Delnaz in the list of probables is but obvious for they have recently been divorced and thus makes for a good controversy.
We will keep a track on the further development.

Why Weren’t Housemates And Audience Contented With Bigg Boss5?

Most of the Housemates most especially those evicted before reaching the Grand Finale were left unsatisfied by the way how the fifth edition of the Bigg Boss show was conducted.
Also in the fifth season Audiences figured out that with every weekly eviction, a specific trend followed, the least controversial housemate who has had the negligible interaction in fights gets evicted after getting nominated for that week.
It became widely believed that contestant are getting evicted from the show as a result of not making headlines for the reality show.
Some News papers like  Zee news expressed dislike towards the show saying, “Barring a few educated and well-mannered celebrities, most of the Bigg Boss contestants have utterly failed to exercise self-restraint.
As the format of the show is such that they often fail to maintain their composure and mostly reveal a fake personality. “Abuses fly thick and fast in the house, whereas morality, ethos and ethics take a backseat.The fear of eviction makes them selfish and diplomatic, compels them to switch sides for personal gains, and indulge in propaganda”.
Shakti Kapoor who was evicted earlier in the show after surviving four week inside the house claimed, “People have a wrong notion that I am a bad guy. Bigg Boss people got me with 13 females because they also thought I will sneak into girls room at night and do something fishy. I respect women a lot,” the actor said.
He added that ,”But since I was not getting into anything like this or any fight or controversy I got evicted. I think there is something planned about my eviction. Everyone in the audience feels there is something wrong. I thought I would win the show and so did the people.”
Pooja Bedi who was evicted weeks later also stated in an interview that housemates are merely evicted on the basis of their controversial backgrounds and that the show is pre-scripted.
After Pooja Misrra’s unexpected exit more than half of the viewers stopped watching the show claiming that the house was getting boring by the week.Contrary to these outcomes, Pooja Misrra was soon sent back in as Andrew Symonds’ translator.
Evicted housemate Pooja  Bedi said about her re-entry, “Why else will they bring her in as a translator, she was fined for talking in English herself! She’s been brought back just for TRPs.”
Singer Raageshwari who left the show in October also claimed, “I am sure the channel decided to bring her back for entertainment value! It will certainly be interesting to see her act as Andrew’s interpreter,” Another ex-inmate
Shraddha Sharma stated, “There’s no one in the house now who’s giving masala to the show, that is why they found a new way to bring her back,”. In previous seasons of Bigg Boss a similar tactic was used to attract TRPs, Dolly Bindra and Kamaal R Khan were also asked to leave the show. However, to encash on their controversial image, Bigg Boss brought them back.
How do think the sixth season should be conducted?

Salman Khan wants you to join him on Bigg Boss 6

Salman Khan, who is riding high on the success of his fourth consecutive blockbuster Ek Tha Tiger, will soon be hitting our small screens at home with his reality TV show Bigg Boss 6 and this time he wants you to join him.
The show’s first look, which was unveiled on Tuesday night, invited the common man to be a part of the reality show.
In the promo Salman Khan, who has been sporting a stubble these days (perhaps for his next film Sher Khan), says: Celebrity banne ki ab aap ki hai bari. toh come inside the Bigg Boss mansion, pay attention.”
People are being asked to send an SMS or log on to the website of the channel which airs Bigg Boss. They will then have to participate in a contest to appear on Bigg Boss 6.
Salman Khan has promised that this version of the controversial reality show will be will be ‘cleaner and friendlier’.
Bigg Boss sees celebrity contestants staying in a house for about three months, cut off from the outside world. They are overseen by a “mysterious person” known as ‘Bigg Boss’. This season, the focus will not be on stars and their tantrums, but about the people who are on the other side of the screen – members of the general public, and their values and morals.
According to reports, the changes in format were formalised at the behest of Salman Khan, after a spate of controversies in the earlier seasons of the show which housed adult film star Sunny Leone, Raja Choudhary (accused of beating his wife), female dacoit Seema Parihar and starlet Dolly Bindra.
This will be Salman’s third time as the Bigg Boss host which has been earlier hosted by celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan and Shilpa Shetty.
The superstar, who had co-hosted the last season with friend and actor Sanjay Dutt, will be hosting the show alone this time. The show is likely to go on air in October. (With PTI inputs)

Lakme is launching Heroine branded make-up under the Absolute range, endorsed by Kareena, and apparel brand Jealous21 will introduce a special clothing line inspired by the clothes worn by Kareena in the movie, which narrates the behind-the-scenes life of an actors.

"Heroine has an author-backed role for Kareena and Madhur's zeal to make it the way he had envisioned has prompted many brands to see an opportunity worth associating," said Shikha Kapur, executive director Marketing, Studios, Disney UTV.

"Even though it's a heroine-led film, because of its sheer content and Kareena's strong brand recall, we have successfully managed to have key brands on board.

Punjabi boy Vipul Mehta wins Indian Idol 6

It was a tough call - three boys, all from Punjab, all excellent singers with a great audience connect. But it is Vipul Mehta from Amritsar, who bagged the "Indian Idol 6" title in Mumbai on Saturday night at a glittering grand finale.
The 21-year-old pipped Devendra Pal Singh, 17, and Amit Kumar, 20, for the winner's trophy, a cash prize of Rs.50 lakh from Sony channel, a Nissan Micra car, a Suzuki Hayate bike, Rs.3 lakh from Max Life Insurance and a contract to record his own music album.
Mehta was on top of the world when Kareena Kapoor along with filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar announced his name for the winner's position. The actress was here to promote her film "Heroine".
"I am really very happy. I thank god for bringing me where I stand today. I would like to thank the audience too for supporting me. I am overwhelmed to see my grandfather's dream coming true," said an emotional Mehta after the win.
Mehta had earlier also participated in singing reality show "Voice of India - Season 2" in 2008, but couldn't make it to the top three. This time he was lucky.
He faced stiff and neck-to-neck competition as both the other contenders had equally powerful, melodious and heartwarming voices.
The young and talented singers displayed their ability to sing all genres during the show, but there had to be one winner.
The finale was a starry affair with judges Anu Malik, Salim Merchant, Sunidhi Chauhan and Asha Bhosle, who were in their true spirits, cheering for all the contestants.
While Sunidhi, Salim and Asha performed with the three contestants, Sunidhi and Asha also enthralled audience with their stand alone performances.
Asha brought alive the yesteryear era with songs like "Aaiye meherban", "Yeh mera dil", "Dum maaro dum" and "Piya tu", and Sunidhi sang "Halkat jawani" from "Heroine". She also matched steps
with Kareena on the stage.
Actors Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra added to the star power as they came to promote their forthcoming film "Barfi!" on the "Indian Idol 6" sets.
The finalists paid tribute to the three generations of Bollywood's Kapoor clan. While Amit sang Raj Kapoor's song "Kehta hai joker", Devender sang Rishi's "Bachna aae haseeno" and Vipul crooned Ranbir's "Sadda haq".
Cousins Ranbir and Kareena came separately on the show, which was shot at Film City in Goregaon, Mumbai.

Bigg Boss Season 6: Salman Changes the Rule, No More Drama Only ‘Family Friendly’ People in the Show

The controversial reality show Bigg Boss has given overnight fame to several small-time crazy actors in last five sessions, but it seems things are likely to change now – obviously for the better.

 From drama queen Veena Malik, Sambhavna Seth, Sherlyn Chopra, Kashmira Shah, Rakhi Sawant, Sunny Leone, Seema Parihar, Dolly Bindra to Raja Choudhry, Kamal Rashid Khan, Dolly Bindra and several others shot to fame with the show.

However, it appears that the show has now closed doors for such contestants who apparently thrive on controversies.
As per the new rule for the upcoming season, only those participants who have family friendly image will be chosen for the show.
“Now, only those participants who have a family friendly image will be chosen,” Bollywood Mantra quoted an insider as saying. “Fights and scandals won’t be the only entry ticket to the house. We’ll soon run a contest and anyone can get lucky and enter the show.”

 ”Bigg Boss has so far catered to the voyeuristic needs of Indian audiences. But there is bad news for those in the film and television industry who thrive on controversies. Not so long ago, these people were prime contenders for the show,” the insider added.

The show will now include ordinary people, who are both genuine and sensible to be presented to the television audience.
The new rule is the initiative of Bollywood actor and show host Salman Khan.
“It was a joint decision between Salman and the broadcasters to clean up Bigg Boss 6,” Bollywood Mantra quoted the source as saying. “Salman has become a very big star today and has a huge fan following, especially among kids. It works for him and the broadcasters to get more eyeballs.”

All You Bips And Kats Beware! Sunny Leone Is Here To Replace You

Riding high on the success of erotic thriller ‘Jism 2′ Sunny Leone, a ‘veteran’ porn star and Bollywood newbie, wants to establish herself as a successful Bollywood mainstream actress. This sultry diva wants to play different types of roles in the future.

Sunny says, “My full concentration is now on Bollywood. I want to do different and all kinds of roles, especially playing meaningful characters. I want to establish myself as a successful mainstream actress. In order to become successful in Bollywood, for next two-three years I will stay on in India as I want to give my hundred percent.”
Being named one of the top 12 porn stars in the world by popular glamour magazine Maxim in 2010, a rare feat, is one of high points of her career.
Born to Punjabi parents in Ontario, Canada, Sunny is one of the biggest superstars of the porn industry for over a decade.
Landing up in the Bhatt camp
Veteran Bollywood producer, director and screenwriter Mahesh Bhatt spotted Sunny Leone when she was participating in the reality show “Bigg Boss 5″ and offered her a role in ‘Jism 2′, the sequel to 2003 thriller ‘Jism’.
Sunny portrayed a porn star named Izna in her debut film and won rave reviews for her performance. She is not surprised when people compare her image as an actress and that of a porn star.
When asked whether she is miffed at people overlooking her acting skills and focusing only on her porn status, the sexy siren said, “Everybody can have their own perception and their own way to look at everything. I can’t change that.”
Sunny, who has reiterated time and again that she is not ashamed of being a porn actress added, “There will be people who won’t like me and there are people who have given me love and support. Since I’m an actress, people should judge me according to my acting skills.”
She is fine with the fact that her background was helpful in bagging the role.
Sunny says, “Actually they were looking for an actress who was comfortable with her body, okay with erotic scene, and didn’t have any problem in projecting herself as a porn star and that’s where I come in.”

Sunny Leone’s Husband Approves All Her Scripts

Daniel Weber & Sunny Leone

Sunny Leone and her hubby Daniel Weber share a good camaraderie. They’ve been married for over a year now, post a courtship of five years.
Daniel, who is a guitarist from Los Angeles, is now Sunny’s business manager and heads their joint production company. “No script offered to me is approved without Daniel’s permission. I do not sign any contract without making him read it,” says Sunny. Like Sunny, even Daniel has acted in adult films and now produces them.
He is very protective of Sunny, he says, adding, “In an Indian society, it is taboo to be in such a profession (adult films) but we love each other. I don’t have to deal with the tag of being a porn star or my wife being one. I own the production company and we share the best relationship. We are friends, business partners and together 24×7,” says Daniel.
Sunny’s Bollywood debut has kept Daniel busy for over a few months now. “I did not understand the script when I read it first though it was specifically written in English for me to understand. Daniel read it before to confirm it,” shares Sunny. The actress says if it weren’t for Daniel, she wouldn’t have been here. Are they planning to venture into B-Town as producers, now that Sunny’s made her debut here as an actor? “I don’t know,” he says, but adds that he isn’t too keen on quitting the adult film industry as of now.
