Sushmita Sen’s no-nonsense attitude

Sushmita Sen may not have been commercially as successful as her contemporaries, but the lady sure is known for her determination and no-nonsense attitude. Recently, Sush returned the signing amount of Rs.2.1 million to producer Vijay Galani who had signed her up for a movie on the ground that she did not get a detailed script of the movie on time as she had been promised.

The actress had initially agreed to do the movie to be directed by Dharmesh Darshan after hearing its narration from the director in August last year. When she was paid advance money out of her total fee of Rs.10.25 million, it was agreed that a bound script would be sent to her in November.

But instead of a script, what she received was a piece of paper in which the director had briefly outlined her role in the movie. Moreover, the role therein was totally different from the one briefed out to her earlier.

Moreover, with Sush backing out from the project, Govinda, the movie’s leading man, also walked out of it saying without the actress playing the female lead, the whole concept of the movie would change. And he would not like that.

Hope, this make everyone clear about about Sushmita’s don’t-take-me-for-granted attitude!

Kareena Kapoor dons a bikini in ‘Tashan’

Yes, she finally does it- the act which almost all the top Bollywood heroines have done. Kareena Kapoor dons a bikini for Yashraj Films’ ‘Tashan’ which has her off-screen love Saif Ali Khan pairing opposite her. The scene, shot in Greece, was kept under wraps and not many were aware of it. But Kareena was preparing for it for months end. She was on a special diet and power yoga to lose weight.

All the efforts have given their results and reportedly, when Kareena appeared wearing the bikini, jaws dropped on the sets. As for her new beau, Saif, he was cool about it and was happy for Kareena, as she has never looked so sexy and hot. The single shot that shows Kareena in her bikini coming out of a swimming pool is going to be the main USP of the film.

Kangana Ranaut with her first endorsement

Finally, Kangana Ranaut has bagged her first endorsement project, and that too opposite none other than Salman Khan. Kangana has been chosen by a leading international shoes company Red Tape to endorse their brand of footwear which had been endorsed by Salman Khan so far.

Until now Red Tape manufactured footwear only for men with Salman as their ambassador. Now, the company is launching its female lineup with Kangana, who has already shot spots for hoardings and magazines and will soon be doing a TV ad with Salman Khan for the brand.

Apparently Red Tape has paid Kangana a whopping figure and has promised to enhance the amount by thirty percent in the next financial year. On being questioned about the reason for she being chosen for the brand, Kangana explains, “It was my my casual looks, I guess. The brand isn’t associated with formal shoes. Only sporty footwear, sneakers etc. They want me to endorse their shoes in my jeans and with my curly hair.”

Kangana is very excited about working with Salman, “It’s a good thought. I’m excited about the ad with Salman. I’ve always been his fan. I think he’s the only rock star in our cinema. I had watched him dance at an awards function and thought I’d be paired with him one day. It’s happening sooner than I thought.”

Bips herself designed her look in Goal

The Bong bombshell is at it again. She is all set to dazzle and bedazzle her fans this time with her cool and hot look in her latest release Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal. It seems that when she first heard the script of Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal she wanted a new look in the film.

Speaking about her ‘looks’, Bipasha Basu said, "Well I play a physiotherapist and I can't possibly be attending to boys injuries wearing a bikini. So I wanted a very realistic look. So, after a lot of discussion, we thought that while Rumana (my character) is on fields as a physiotherapist, she would wear track pants and a T-Shirt, with glasses and tie her hair in a pony tail like a girl next door. And when she is not on field, then she is a typical Muslim girl from Southhall and will be wearing Pakistani salwar kameez.

Bips also added that she tries to look different in all her films. While the clothes are by Rocky S, she herself has designed the look in Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal. And Vivek’s contribution was the glasses that she wears!
