Lord Ganesha is one God to whom Bollywood personalities confide to in their thick and thins. And celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi seemed to be in full swing. Decorating Ganesha is the best part of this celebration. It’s believed that one’s wish is fulfilled once it is on the ear of Ganeshji.
Nana Patekar is one actor who religiously celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi every year. He is personally involved in all decorations and Poojas done for Ganeshji at his place. Nana also allows common people to visit his home and take Ganeshji’s Darshan.
Salman Khan and his family also celebrate Ganeshostav. The Khan family had brought home Ganesh idol for one and a half days. In the above picture Salman with his step mom Helen and Nephew on his shoulders is dancing during the procession before immersing the Ganesh Idol into the sea.
The Kapoors bring Ganeshji’s idol in RK Studio each year. Also, Jeetendra and Rakhi Sawant celebrate the festival religiously every year. Riteish Deshmukh took Ganeshji’s idol along when he went to visit Cancer Patients during a special screening of Dhamaal organized for them.
Ganeshji is highly respected by the film industry. Looking at the lavish celebrations we can surely say that Bollywood takes pride to believe in oneness of God.
Salman Khan will appear in a one-take song in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed Saawariya. The film will feature him in a very important cameo role (and not a mere ‘guest role.’)
Bhansali has made special room for his favourite actor Salman Khan, in his next venture Saawariya. Reveals a source, “The film has a song in which Salman makes his entry. Sanjay had a special reason for using the song to mark Salman’s entry in his forthcoming venture.”
The idea of having a one-take song was suggested to Bhansali by choreographer duo Pappu-Malu. In a few sittings, they were able to convince Bhansali about their plan to shoot the song in minimum takes, who immediately decided to use Salman Khan for it.
It took only two days to rehearse the song and Sallu was not even troubled for the same. Since he has a short role in the movie, Sanjay had directed the choreographers not to call the star for the rehearsals which were done before the song was shot. Says Pappu, “Salman Bhai was not called as he is a very senior actor who knows his job well. Moreover, we did not face any problem for his scene as he had to appear before the song starts.” The choreographer refused to comment on the significance of his entry in the film, saying that the information is confidential.
Salman, Katrina head to Western Europe
14 Sep, 2007
It's not quite honeymoon time for the handsome couple. The duo instead is paired together in Subhash Ghai's dream venture Yuvraaj and will be heading to Western Europe for a 21-day shooting schedule.
Ghai launched his mega directorial venture starring Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, Zayed Khan, Katrina Kaif and Boman Irani on Spetember 12 in Khandala. A song choreographed by Shiamak Davar was picturised on Salman and Katrina and was the first take of the film.
While AR Rahaman has composed the music of Yuvraaj , Gulzar has penned the lyrics. "A marathon 21 day schedule is going to take place in Western Europe," Subhash Ghai told Indiatimes Movies, "We leave next week."
Yuvraaj , we hear, is a fifty crore musical extravaganza. Let's hope it creates music and more at the box office, too.
Salman Khan gets bail in poaching case
JODHPUR, India (Reuters) - A court in Rajasthan freed actor Salman Khan on bail on Friday almost a week after he was arrested and jailed for shooting an endangered gazelle during hunting trips nearly a decade ago.He walked free on Friday evening, wearing a blue-grey baseball cap, a white shirt and jeans. A crowd of policemen escorted him to a black sports utility vehicle waiting outside the jail. Further away, hundreds of fans cheered for their idol.
He will fly back home to Mumbai, some media reports said.
The court also ordered the actor to deposit a personal bond of 100,000 rupees ($2,500).
He had spent his time in jail reading, exercising and sketching, a prison official told a local news channel.
Khan, 41, was arrested on Saturday, a day after a lower court rejected his appeal against a 2006 conviction for killing a chinkara gazelle in Rajasthan in 1998. He was sentenced to a five-year term, which he is appealing at the Rajasthan High Court.
He is next due in court on Oct. 24, his lawyer said.
According to some media reports at the time, Khan slit the throat of the chinkara he shot and then gave it to chefs to cook at his deluxe hotel in the western desert state. The animals are protected under Indian wildlife law.
Some conservation activists said Khan's celebrity status may have helped his case for bail.
"It's a serious crime but obviously the high court sees some merit in giving him bail," said Belinda Wright, director of the Wildlife Protection Society of India.
"If he had been a poor, peasant poacher and not so high-profile, I don't believe he would have been granted bail."
Renowned for his bad-boy image and romantic liaisons with several Bollywood actresses, Khan has several other cases hanging over him.
He was convicted in 2006 for killing protected blackbuck antelopes during the Rajasthan hunting trips and given a one-year jail sentence.
He was granted bail while he appeals against that conviction. He has also been charged with other counts of killing wildlife and of breaking gun laws.
Khan is also facing trial over the death of a man sleeping on a pavement in Mumbai in 2002. Khan is suspected of drunk-driving. The actor has denied being at the wheel.
Khan, also known for his slapstick comedy, stars in three movies that are under production costing in total about 1 billion rupees ($24 million), industry analysts say.
Salman was busy sketching in jail
Salman Khan completed close to 15 sketches in six days in prison, and lost two inches around his waist. Salman Khan knows how to make the best use of his time. It has been learnt that the actor, during his brief stay at Jodhpur Jail, completed close to 15 sketches. What’s more, he used the rest of his time to exercise and ended up losing two inches around his waist!
A close friend of Salman, who was at his residence when he came back from Jodhpur says, “There were at least 500-600 people and Bhai hugged everyone saying ‘Don’t worry, Insha Allah everything will be fine.
Bhai jokingly said that he used to work out in jail. In fact, he managed to reduce two inches around his waist. His waist now measures 31 inches.”
The friend also says, “ Bhai was also busy sketching. We all know that he loves art and he requested the jail authorities to give him paper and pencils. He has made around 15 sketches and will put them up at an exhibition for the Salman Khan Foundation.”
Brother Arbaaz Khan says, “Yes, Salman did do a lot of sketches in prison. I am not sure how many, but definitely more than 10. The sketches are still in Jodhpur and will be brought here soon.”
