Abroad

Now that the summer is in the air, it is time to have a look at yourself. Do you see all that ‘gaajar ka halwa’ or those ‘garam gulab jamuns’ showing on your body? Are you able to fit into those skimpy tops and the hot pants you bought last summer? Most of us pack away a lot of calories and consequently a lot of flab in the winters. And now its time to get back into shape. No matter what age you are, or how hard pressed for time, one form of exercise suits everyone…and that is walking.

Why you should walk?

First it were the Chopra-Johar-Barjatiya creations that sent ripples down the west (especially in the NRI concentrated areas) where the people tried to catch the Indian experience through their movies.

And now, Bollywood has reached the academic centres of this part of the world.
The study of Indian films is now a part of many reputed western Universities’ course curriculum including University of Manchester, University of California, Berkeley (UC, Berkeley) and Cardiff University!

Shah Rukh Khan, who has never really fuelled any Bollywood controversy (except of course, those rising out of his smoke) is suddenly being seen as a part of a hot sex video!

The controversial video is the one where he is sharing some very intense moments on-screen, with his co-star many, many years ago, Deepa Sahi, in the movie Maya Memsaab! The movie was about Maya who had an extramarital affair with Lalit played by Khan, followed by a few bed scenes.

SRK dances with an entirely new team of “Chak De!” gals!

Now don’t you start imagining a sequel to this critically acclaimed movie that also did very well at the box-office! Nothing of that sort happening, dearies. Even though we wouldn’t really mind another dose of coach Kabir Khan’s superlative mentoring! But alas, good things usually never last.

Does anyone recognize this pretty damsel? Sure, she doesn’t look like your regular ‘sati savitri bahu on the telly’! But that is exactly what this babe is, people. She is your “Baani” from “Kasamh Se” . Actually many of you would recognize Prachi Desai, thanks to her stint in “Jhalak Dikhla Ja” . From being a much loved bahu on the Indian telly, to winning a prestigious dance-based reality show, to a dream debut on the big screen! Ms. Prachi Desai is surely making newsthese days!

If you read the previous article in this series, you would be well aware how important metabolism is. The most common mistake that most weight watchers make is to go on a crash diet. While this may help you lose some flab initially, it does more harm than good in the long run. Going on a crash diet ultimately puts your body in a fat-storage mode. Contrary to what you think, your body is an intelligent organism. When not fed properly, it assumes a ‘famine-condition’ behavior. This means that your body starts hoarding whatever energy it gets.

Now this is a first! Debutant Darsheel Safary gets nominated for the Filmfare Awards. Nothing peculiar in that. But this child actor has created history in Bollywood by getting a nomination in "The Best Actor In A Leading Role". Most people expected Darsheel to get nominated in "The Best Actor In A Supporting Role" or in "The Best Child Actor" categories.

Looks like this is the age of makeovers! Every channel worth its salt has at least one show on makeovers. There are reality shows based on this format-can you believe that? Wardrobe makeover, hair makeover, make-up makeover, and the list goes on. Now if you are interested in any of these makeovers, believe me, they will cost you a little fortune. But if you want an instant makeover that doesn’t cost a penny, eyebrow makeover is the way to go!

Simi Garewal and Karan Johar together! Impossible! Can "Rendezvous With Simi" ever meet "Koffee With Karan"? That's how we reacted when we found out this piece of news. But our little birdie has confirmed that Simi Garewal and Karan Johar are finally going to be together.

There are good looking couples, cool couples, hot couples, and then there’s ‘the hottest’ couple. Bollywood has seen them all. They come and they go. Sometimes, they don’t really come…they are just a figment of media’s imagination. And sometimes, they don’t really go…again, it’s a figment of the media’s imagination.

So who’s the hottest couple in Bollywood currently? John and Bipasha, who else?
