Katrina wears sari in Egypt

Singh is Kinng

Remember "Suraj hua madham" from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham shot at the breathtaking locales of Egypt on Shahrukh Khan and Kajol? What about it? Well director Anees Bazmee has shot a romantic song at the same location with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif for his forthcoming flick Singh Is Kinng. What's noteworthy is that this is for the first time that Katrina has shot an entire a song wearing a sari.

A source close to the actress, 'All popular songs that Katrina has done so far in her films have either had her in casual or formal wear, this is for the first time that she shot a song in a sari.'

For Katrina, shooting a song wearing a sari was an experience she will never forget! ''I thoroughly loved it! A sari makes a woman look so graceful and feminine.''

Katrina adds, 'Anees Bazmee was very clear that he wanted me to have an Indian look for the song. And what can make me look more Indian than a sari! Also, the song is Akshay's imagination of me and him dancing in the mysterious locales of Egypt. Manish Malhotra is the designer of my spectacular saris. This is for the first time that Manish has designed a costume for me. And his creations are just wonderful!'


Shilpa proved her detractors wrong

Shilpa Shetty

Nothing succeeds like Success for Shilpa. Yes, Shilpa Shetty's new found success has wiped the smile off her detractors' face.

In fact, the last four years have been extremely lucky for Shilpa. The actress won the Big Brother reality show. She beat top celebrities that too under circumstances where the chances of winning were slim. There was no looking back after that. Shilpa's victory at the Big Brother reality show opened new doors and avenues for her. She was instantly roped in for the lead in London's Broadway play that broke all box-office records.

Besides material success, there was spiritual progress too. Shilpa became the first Indian actress to start her own Yoga DVD to share the benefits of age old Indian therapy and its healing powers with all the people of the world.

Back to Mumbai from London, Shilpa flagged off her production banner S2 stands for but of course, Shilpa Shetty, much to the envy of her rivals. The actress is all set to launch her production's first venture and which is expected to hit the floors soon.

Nothing succeeds like success they say and the adage seems absolutely apt for Shilpa!

Katrina doesn't want to talk about Salman

>

World's sexiest woman Katrina Kaif is not at all feeling sexy these days. The reason being that whenever, wherever she goes, she's just been asked to comment on the famous Shahrukh Khan - Salman Khan spat so that the news channels get a good piece of information and poor Katrina gets into trouble.

Katrina, who became sandwich between Salman and SRK, is now finding hard to cope up because the 'Two Khans' have almost disappeared after the incident and left the poor Sandwich girl to handle the media all by herself.

At a recently held press conference, Katrina was yelling at one of the reporters saying that she is haunted by this question wherever she goes. Katrina has now made it clear that from now onwards she will only answer professional question and no more of Salman - SRK spat to be asked to her. She expresses her desire not to talk about Salman Khan at all.

For the sake of saving her professional career this hot babe surely have a reason to react in a hot mood towards media after been kicked out by Shahrukh from Temptation Reloaded tour.

Shilpa Shetty makes TV debut with Bigg Boss E-mail

Shilpa Shetty hosts Big Boss Season 2

Mumbai (ANI): Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is all set to make television debut as a host with a reality television show Bigg Boss. The show Bigg Boss is India's take on the reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother. The announcement that 33-year-old actress had agreed to host the second season of the reality show was made at a party hosted by newly launched television channel Colors on Wednesday. The reality show Bigg Boss requires a set of celebrities unknown to each other aiming to stay under one roof for 85 days without accompaniments of normal life. In January last year, Shetty beat 13 Celebrity Big Brother contestants, including television personality Jade Goody and some other housemates whose treatment of Shetty generated thousands of complaints, dominated headlines and even prompted a sponsor of the show to pull out.

Speaking to the media about her participation in Celebrity Big Brother show Shilpa said, "I went (to participate in Big Brother) with a mindset that I have nothing to fear and what''s the big deal, whole life I have been an actress and I have been in front of the cameras and I have nothing to hide. Honestly I also felt that I''ll be eliminated in the first round and I still lasted I don''t know how. But I feel being in Big Brother house teaches you a lot."

However, about her television debut Shilpa added, "See I will be able to empathize with the people in the house better because I have been through the experience and I know what they will be going through at that point of time. So I think it will be easier for me to relate to them and we are all human beings so I think I''m going to try and make it (hosting of the Bigg Boss show) entertaining with a human touch."

The Indian version Bigg Boss, which was first aired on popular Indian channel in November 2006, follows the international format of the reality TV show. Participants from Bollywood and television industry spend several days cooped up in a specially designed house under 24-hour surveillance, with no access to telephones or television. Each week, one of them was voted out and Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi hosted the first season of this show. Second season of the reality show Bigg Boss would premiere on a private channel in August this year.
