Ankeeta Mukherjee
Bollyw ood
still mesmerized under Bengali charm offensive...
From Suchitra Sen to Rimi Sen, the number of Bengali
beauties that have mesmerized Bollywood is only growing. And
this is one form of interstate migration that no one is
complaining about, least of all, the Hindi film industry.
The latest Bong beauty on tinsel town's horizon is Ankeeta
Mukhjeree. Making her presence felt at a very young age, she
won the Miss Kolkata pageant as a school girl in class
eight. Sure enough, the advertising world immediately
noticed her and the modeling offers flowed thick and fast.
Before one could say 'Kolkatta' Ankeeta had already appeared
in well received ads like the Oye Bubbly Pepsi ad with Shah
Rukh Khan, Fair and Lovely, Sunsilk Parachute and the
Reliance ad with Hrithik Roshan. Not only that, she has also
become the face of Asha Bhosle's Platinum video that was
rated among the world's top 30 by
amazon.com. Ankeeta has now set her sights on mainstream
cinema. Seeing what other gorgeous beauties from 'Sonar
Bangla' have achieved, it won't be surprising to see her
matching histrionics with the best in the business.

Madhu Sharma on 7th
heaven as her movie completes 50 days at box office!
Madhu Sharma is on seventh
heaven these days and rightly so. The last weekend her
runaway hit movie “Sindhanai Sei” completed 50 days at the
box office!
Sindhanai Sei continues to do
quite well in theaters, something which is reflected in the
box office figures which are talking only in crores. Madhu
has received enormous audience appreciation and critical
acclaim for her role in the movie of a rich, independent
girl who falls in love.
'Sindhanai Sei' is the remake
of the Telugu hit 'Bheebhatsam' with Yuvan and Madhu Sharma
playing the lead roles. The story is about how Yuvan meets
Madhu Sharma and the two of them fall in love. Marriage
happens but matrimony is not a bed of roses. Madhu Sharma
expects a life of happiness and luxury which Yuvan is not
able to provide. Disillusioned and dissatisfied, she walks
out of the marriage leaving Yuvan seething in anger.
After having conquered our
hearts in M.S. Raju’s film “Pournami” which portrayed her as
a traditional Andhra girl, her character in Sindhanai Sei is
a complete contrast, providing a refreshing change to her
previous role. Which proves the depth in her acting skills.
Apart from being a gifted
actor, Madhu also has a black belt in Taekwondo martial
arts. The lesser known side of Madhu comes as a simple
Mumbai girl by heart, who loves watching T.V, dancing and
gardening! Her fitness mantra includes daily yoga &
exercises.
Known for her glamour doll
image, and proud of it, Madhu has now set her eyes on
performance-oriented films and is now looking out for more
challenging roles. And it looks as if it’s working already.
Great going Madhu!

bandleader Trilok Gurtu, one of the most dynamic and
prolific musician.She gave an electrifying live performances
with Trilok Gurtu on 6th & 8th September at Blue Frog in
Mumbai with the Indian band -Nitin Shankar on percussion -
Ravi Chari on Sitar, Sheldon on Bass and special guest Dhruv
Ghanekar on lead guitar that left the crowds asking for
more. Kalpana was the 'lady with the golden voice'.She has a
uniquely soulful, raw, high-pitched voice, a voice that had
its own unique space,a voice with pure soul. Her tantalizing
foot tapping concert at Blue frog was a total sell out. Her
trademark singing passion and a speed of delivery that would
wear out wannabes her age. This was undoubtedly one of my
best concerts. To perform with the living legend was truly
remarkable.The band together belt out a brilliant synthesis
of folk and contemporary music.With her musical charm in
this album-MASSICAL, she has transcended the barriers of
caste, creed, language and nationality..She is going much
beyond her Bhojpuri image; she has gone a step further that
is sure to get the entire nation ecstatic. This Assamese
girl is the darling of the North Indian belt and has been
christened the uncrowned BHOJPURI QUEEN.She has already sung
more than 3000 songs for 22 languages.She has a burning
sense of traditional rhythm and groove and deeply rooted in
Nirgun,Purvi,Kajree,Pachra(devi geet) folk forms. Kalpana is
equally comfortable with every genre of music - be it rock,
pop, jazz, country or folk. I am happy to be a part and
collaborated with international unique' musicians like Carlo
Cantini , Jan Garbarek, Phil Drummy, Roland Cabezas,
Stefano Dall’Ora with musical instruments ranging from the
Hawaiian lapsteel guitar to the Australian didge to the
American duduk to some close to 40 other instruments. This
album-MASSICAL will give fusion aficionados to rejoice this
year. Says Kalpana-In one track Mumbai Shuffle-I have sung
tribal songs from Assam.The rhythm and groove is the same in
Africa where they like to enjoy music and dance is a major
factor, they are only different geographically.
In
the other track, Massical I have fused Banarasi thumri with
Goalparia Lok Geet of Assam.To quote Trilok Gurtu’s own
words,“Music has to be there for everyone-it is the masses
who have to decide about music and not the classes.The
classes always have the money.But you always have to reach
the masses.That’s why I say music is Massical,not
classical.”
This
international release of MASSICAL and the extensive touring
plans and prestigious venues in the coming year reflects
Kalpana’s desire to build an audience in the rest of the
world.

Sujit
Kumar celebrates his 75th birthday with best
friends
Together forever, never apart, maybe in
distance, but never in heart; that is a maxim which best
friends Jeetendra and Rakesh Roshan seem to be
living by. And this was evident a fe w
days ago during the birthday celebrations of their other
best friend, veteran actor and filmmaker Sujit Kumar.
Kumar, who has produced big-budget
Bollywood films like ‘Champion’, ‘Aetbaar’ and
‘Khel’ has also acted in hundreds of Hindi films and
been a superstar in Bhojpuri cinema. He celebrated his 75th
birthday at a surprise party that his friends threw for him
recently. The occasion, complete with all their friends,
including producer Saawan Kumar Tak, was celebrated
at a suburban restaurant and even had Kumar’s favourite
pineapple cake.
Speaking about the day, the maker says,
"It was a splendid way to bring in my birthday. There is
nothing more I could have asked for, than to go over the
good old days with my friends." He adds with a laugh,
though, "But this doesn't mean I'm old. There's still a
whole new innings for me to play."
The trio, Jeetendra, Rakesh and Sujit,
who practically grew up together, have been pals for ages
and catch up with each other regularly, still exercising
together at a common gym at times. Now, if that isn't
friendship, what is!

"Filmmakers who have cast katrina in the lead, their films
have made huge profits. The companies who have signed her as
thier brand ambassador, thier sales have been on rise.
Doesn't this make her the Goddess of Luck literally," said a
source from the ad world.The source further said, "She has
always topped all opinion polls and was declared as the
sexiest women in India by FHM international. She was also
declared as the most searched Indian Celebrity by a famous
search
website GOOGLE. So that ways she has been lucky for herself
too."Known for her sensuality as well as her feminine charm,
Katrina reveals why she chose to endorse the brand. Says
she, "Be it a skin,hair or a jewellery product, I am very
selective about the brands I endorse. I undertake extensive
research on the company and try to ensure that the brand
delivers on its promises made to the user of the
product."Mehul Choksi, chairman, Gitanjali Group and
Nakshatra, says, "Katrina is a representation of the young,
trendy and fashionable woman whom we at Nakshatra target.
Nakshatra’s core values include trust and purity in a
category that is often fraught with questionable practices.
The positives of this category include the fact that it
stands for theexpression of love and affection in a woman’s
life. Katrina lends a refreshing look to the brand as the
new face for Nakshatra.”
Govinda ga-ga over Amrita
With the success of ‘Life Partner’, the new pairing
of Govinda and Amrita Rao se ems
to have clicked with the audiences. In fact, audiences have
called the pair the highlight of the film and are looking
forward to seeing the two together in more films. But if
there’s one new fan Amrita Rao can definitely lay claim to,
it is her co-star. Ever since the movie released, Govinda
can’t stop raving about the lass.
“She was a pleasure, and a splendid person to work to with.
She is hard-working, dedicated, talented and on top of it
all, absolutely professional. She is a truly gifted actor.
With values like that, Amrita is definitely going to go
places in the industry,” gushes Govinda, who is now looking
forward to working alongside Amrita in his other movies too.
With their dazzle spilling over the silver screen, let’s
hope we get to see them together more often.
Narmmadaa’s the latest fitness freak!
It seems
the fitness bug doesn’t spare anyone. Even though she’s
already quite slim and svelte, Govinda’s daughter Narmmadaa
Ahuja is the latest debutante to jump onto the treadmill.
The bodacious beauty, who is getting ready to announce her
debut film, has been exercising religiously over the past
weeks, led by her personal trainer, Viraj Samalkar. And the
results seem to be showing.
Not that she needed to, but Narmmadaa has already lost
around four to five kilos of weight under Samalkar’s
guidance. Viraj has put her on a strict regimen of dieting
and exercise.
“I’m very particular about working out and sometimes even
manage to workout at the break of dawn.” Though the newbie
says, she prefers exercising “on warm summer mornings,
rather than these dull rainy ones”. While she has her mind
set on her health, Samalkar makes her do thirty crunches
every alternate day that in her own words, are “the most
tedious part of the regimen.”
But if there is one thing that Narmmadaa has no complaints
about, it’s her diet. A mix of carbohydrates and proteins,
along with lots of vegetable juices and chicken, she simply
loves binging out on it, while still maintaining her 25 inch
waist. “The diet has left my hair and skin glowing
gorgeously,” she says with a smile.
