Arya to use Bigg Boss for new phase as author

Actor-politician Raj Babbar’s son Arya has joined the celebrity bandwagon on Bigg Boss 8 and one of his key motives is to expand the market for a book he has authored, via the reality show. He’s also confident of winning the show.

What brought him to “Bigg Boss? “The money, of course. It’s good. But the real reason is the book that I’ve written. It gets published in January. I hope to express myself on what I’ve written in the ‘Bigg Boss’ house. When I come out as a winner – of course I’ll win – I hope to have a relatively larger readership,” he said before entering the show.

Arya sees “Bigg Boss” as a new beginning. “It was 12 years ago that I made my debut as a leading man (in films) with ‘Ab Ke Baras’. Now I am heading into another phase in my life as an author. ‘Bigg Boss’ is a good vehicle to take me into the new level in my life,” he said,

He is here to win. “I haven’t come here to while away my time for a few weeks. I want to go all the way. It’s always been that way for me. I don’t believe in half-measures,” said the young actor. The show is all about bickering, backbiting, plotting and planning, and Arya, who knows he has a “low tolerance level” plans to “surprise everyone who will watch me on the show”.

“I promise you I’ll make my parents proud,” he said. Of course, Arya will raise his voice if the need arises. “I’ve learnt to hold my peace in recent times. But if I see something wrong happening in the house, I won’t keep quiet,” he said. The show is aired on Colors.

While Gautam tried to get close to Diandra, Sonali was sidelined by other inmates on day 2

Day 2 in BB08 Airlines was certainly full of drama. Until yesterday, all the contestants were together, laughing and cracking jokes. But on the second day, we not only got to witness the first break down of this season, but also mild arguments between some contestants. Here’s taking a look at some highlights, that made episode 3 of Bigg Boss 8 an entertaining watch.

First fight between the probable lovebirds - Upen Patel and Sukirti Kandpal might have gotten along like a house on fire on day 1, but these two probable lovebirds had an argument, post which Sukirti broke down. And the surprising bit was that rather than consoling her, Upen further snapped at Sukirti and told her to stop the drama. Well, as they say, what’s love without sparks.

Gautam Gulati and Diandra Soares get naughty - The Secret Society bestowed upon the passengers another task that left the house mates zapped. Two contestants were asked sacrifice their freedom of movement. Diandra and Sushant Divgikar were chosen to perform the task. Covered in mud, they were made to stand in a classic Michael Jackson pose with their hands in the air. However, the interesting bit was when Gautam Gulati was removing all the mud from Diandra’s legs. And all we could do is just watch with raised eyebrows.

Sonali Raut becomes the villain - Blame it on her shy nature, other inmates are not able to gel with her, due to which she is being sidelined by everyone. Too bad for her, maybe she didn’t care to watch previous seasons to know how it works inside that house of horrors.

Coming back to Upen and Sukirti, do you think they look good together? If not, tell us who does Upen looks good with. Vote!

Bigg Boss 8: Sushant Divgikar hopes to sensitise TV viewers to LGBT cause via Salman Khan’s show

The Bigg Boss contestant is one of the topmost favourites for the show

Sushant Divgikar, the winner of Mr.Gay India 2014, hopes that his presence on the reality show Bigg Boss 8 can change perceptions of people about the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community. “I think I can sensitise the people about my community by being the face of LGBT community in ‘Bigg Boss’,” Sushant told from Mumbai before entering the show, which began Sunday night.

The past seasons of “Bigg Boss” have seen names like Bobby Darling, Rohit Verma, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi and Begum Nawazish Ali, as LGBT representatives. On his part, Sushant says he would feel overwhelmed if his presence on the show inspired someone to come out of the closet.

What if someone makes a personal remark on his sexuality? ”Your reaction reflects your upbringing. I would deal with the situation according to the intensity of the comment,” said Sushant, who has a double masters degree in psychology. However, he has no intentions of using it to his advantage in the reality show. The model entered the show “without any expectations” and is looking forward to having a great time.

He calls himself technology challenged, and has no hang ups about leaving behind his phone and gadgets to enter the world of “Bigg Boss”. ”I’m glad to leave my phone outside. It doesn’t cripple you in any way and makes you realise that you can live without your phone,” he said.

However, Sushant is apprehensive about being disconnected with the world. ”Not knowing what is happening around the world is frustrating for me. I need my intellectual stimulation from time to time,” he said. The eighth season of “Bigg Boss” is beamed on Colors channel.

Despite the secrecy and blurred faces the identity of these 3 contestants is out in public

Bigg Boss 8 has started its new season on a sour note. Despite the hoopla of trying to do something different and change the format, the idea of using the concept of three secret society members early on in the show hasn’t really worked. As per the new idea, three participants on the show have been granted immunity from nomination and also special rights and privileges where they can make the rest of the contestants dance to their tunes. Sounds interesting right ?

Unfortunately the identity of these three contestants - Deepshikha Nagpal, Puneet Issar and RJ Preetam was leaked on the day of the premier. The information being made public it didn’t‘ really serve a great purpose in blurring their faces and keeping their names away from the common public. Also most of the contestants have already been able to guess from their voices who these 3 secret society members are!

Tonight’s episode showed a preview that in Wednesday’s episode the 3 members will remove the hoods off their face and show their real identities to everyone. However, the stunt seems lame given the fact that this was established in the beginning itself. We hope that Bigg Boss 8 has some better and more interesting twists and turns lined up in the show in the near future!

Contrary to the reports, the Shuddh Desi Romance actor hasn’t walked out of Shekhar Kapur’s ambitious project

Sushant Singh Rajput is still a part of Shekhar Kapur’s magnum opus Paani. Since the film has been delayed once again, rumours were rife that the Pavitra Rishta actor wasn’t happy with the development and therefore, backed off from the project. However, that’s not the case. How do we know, you ask? Well, Sushant’s spokesperson has released an official statement rubbishing all the reports about him quitting Kapur’s directorial venture.

The statement read: “We were very amused to read speculations that Sushant Singh Rajput is not in Paani due to a variety of absurd reasons. There is absolutely NO truth to it. Sushant keeps a low profile and let’s his work speak for itself. He has recently completed Detective Byomkesh Bakshi and is deep in preparations for Paani given the scale of the film. We’ll shortly also be making some exciting announcements on his new projects.”

Now that we all know Ankita Lokhande’s beau is still playing the lead in Paani, let’s hope the film goes on floor soon without any further delay. Or else we really won’t be surprised if SSR actually part ways with Shekhar Kapur and his film.

Kumkum Bhagya: Abhi and Pragya get lost in the jungle – how original!

Almost every couple in daily soaps gets lost in the jungle and by the time they come out they are in love

In Kumkum Bhagya, Abhi (Shabbir Ahluwalia) is going for a shoot and is compelled to take his wife Pragya (Sriti Jha) along with him. During their journey, Abhi and Pragya get lost in the jungle and are stranded without a phone, money or transport. Of course like any other couple they fight, argue and walk in different routes.

However, they still end up coming back together and helping each other out. Now does this plot sound similar? Well we definitely think so. From the time love stories started airing on TV – this has been one plot that is used in every other daily soap. Frankly, we’ve even tried doing this in real life; it never works out the way they show- really! Why is it that the creatives can’t write something new and fresh. There may be a hundred ways for a girl and guy to fall in love, then why this whole melodrama of getting lost in the jungle and blah di da…

Well we are definitely bored of the run of mill love stories – can someone really show us something new please?

After Deepika Padukone, Times of India now slams Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Their report Says, ‘The former Miss World has legs that look better when covered’

Just when we thought The Times of India would learn from its mistakes and mend its ways, the online portal of the media house has put out another piece titled ‘Hot babes with ugly legs’. The article takes a dig at Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s legs saying ‘The former Miss World has legs that look better when covered’. The report goes on to add names of some more Bollywood actress giving them shallow adjectives and describing their body parts with strange metaphors. To quote their report:

Aditi Rao Hydari: This pretty actress is clearly not comfortable with her wobbly knees.

Dia Mirza: This dazzling beauty has skinny legs and sharp, pointy knees.

Bhumika Chawla: Those legs don’t look like they belong to a movie star.

This observation of specific body parts by the portal has come under a scathing attack from the UK media house – The Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/times-of-india-hot-babes-with-ugly-legs-article-targeting-angelina-jolie-and-bollywood-stars-sparks-outrage-9753587.html?dldk) where Louise Court, Editor-in-Chief of British women’s magazine Cosmopolitan, was quoted saying, “I was infuriated by it – but women struggling with their body image are made even more vulnerable.

“This article is just mean and pointless. We should be focusing on the talent of the women on that list – not what they look like. Angelina Jolie is an Oscar winner and global humanitarian. Sarah Jessica Parker is an Emmy award winning actress and producer and fashion designer. Do you want me to go on? The conversation should be about their achievements.”

BollywoodLifers we think this report not only is ridiculous in its ideology but also stereotypes what we believe are images and body types that seem regressive in every possible way. Do you agree with The Times of India’s views on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s legs ? Do you think she has ugly legs ? Let us know your views in the comments section!

Current Theega Sunny song promo: Sunny Leone turns on the heat with her sexy moves!

After making her sizzling debut in Tamil with sensational item song, sexy Sunny is back with yet another steamy song in her Telugu debut

After featuring in an item song for Tamil film Vadacurry, sexy Sunny bagged a role in Manchu Manoj’s Current Teega as school teacher. The voluptuous babe surprised everyone when it became clear that Sunny will don a deglam avatar for her Telugu debut. While the film has been gaining steam thanks to hero Manoj Manchu’s action packed avatar and ex-adult star Sunny Leone’s association to it.

After revealing the extremely catchy Devadas break up song, the makers have revealed a hot item song featuring Ragini MMS 2 star and Manoj Manchu. Bollywoodlife brings you three reasons to watch the Sunny song from Current Theega:

The first and foremost reason to watch the song is the oomph factor of Sunny Leone, who owns each and every frame with her seductive avatar. Ms Leone sets the temperatures soaring in a sexy white saree and silver blouse. Ms Leone looks stunning in red dress, adding the much needed glam factor to the song.

The song has some catchy dance moves as Manoj Manchu and Sunny sizzle together sharing a great onscreen chemistry.

This song is undoubtedly more sexier than the song featuring Sunny Leone in Tamil film Vadacurry. We wonder what the makers meant when they declared Jism 2 star would be going deglam for the role.

Watch the song below:

Though the society still remains hidden from the contestants of the house, its identity is now revealed to all the viewers. Read on to know more…

All will never be hunky dory amongst the yatris and the same was made evident on day 3 in the Bigg Boss 8 house or vimaan rather. Where Arya Babbar openly declared that he is in the show to play a game, Gautam Gulati was seen fuming over his differences with a female contestant in the house. Read on to know who she was and the rest of the highlights of the show:The Secret Society’s dirty little secret

We have been waiting to catch a glimpse of the members comprising of the secret society and tonight’s episode finally fulfilled our wishes! Puneet Issar, Deepshika Nagpal and RJ Preetam were the names revealed to the viewers. The contestants of the house however still remain unaware of the society’s identity. When will they know? Wait and watch!

It’s a clear cut massage

It seems like massages are a given in every season of Bigg Boss and Gautam Gulati certainly seems to be continuing the saga. The TV actor was seen rubbing lotion on Diandra’s legs and might we add that the sight wasn’t a pleasant one to watch. While we are very much aware of the chemistry brewing between the two love birds or “cuteheart” and “sweet heart’ as they like to call each other, we wish they would showcase their PDA in other ways rather than massages!

Too many cooks, spoil the broth

This phrase saw its literal translation in tonight’s episode. With a chance being given to the yatris to cook their own food, the kitchen was solely dominated by Karishma Tanna, Soni Singh and Minissha Lamba. We feel it was fair for Gautam to lose his temper seeing the female domination over food. After all the lad is an enthusiastic chef. C’mon ladies, give Mr Gulati a chance and quit being cry babies about the same!

The nomination conversation

Discussions about nominations are a strict no-no in the Bigg Boss house but Karishma and Arya were seen doing the same in hush hush tones. Where Arya declared that he would never cast a vote against Minishaa and Karishma, the latter agreed to the same with the other name being Diandra’s. A new found friendship or partnership for a sly ploy? Time will tell!

Its none of the other yatris’ business

Soni Singh and Praneet Bhatt were upgraded to the business class following their ace performance at the tasks that were assigned to them. We loved how Praneet aka Shakuni’s patience finally bore fruit and the lad was gifted a pair of undergarments he had asked for! We won’t talk further, kyunki yeh andar ki baat hai!

Its the day of nominations tomorrow! Who do you think will be the most nominated contestant between Gautam Gulati and Sonali Raut? Post in your votes in the box below!

The movie manages to raise a scare here and there

Directed by Vishal Mahadkar, 3 A.M. stars Rannvijay Singh in the lead alongside Anindita Nayar, Salil Acharya and Kavin Dave. The horror flick will release on September 26.

Our reviewer, Namrata Thakker is at the press trial of the show happening at the moment and here’s her take on the film so far…

Namrata says, “First half of 3 A.M. is scary in bits and pieces. Rannvijay plays his part decently. Since it’s a horror flick, I expected all drama would start from the word go but it doesn’t. 15 minutes in the movie and there nothing’s happening. Finally, after some naach gaana and romance you get to see the spooky stuff. Till interval the film is just about okay and manages to raise a scare here and there courtesy sound effects. Let’s hope the second half is scarier.”

The couple had a crazy, romantic and drunken night – of course there will be repercussions the next day, right?

Qubool Hai recently showcased how Tanveer (Amrapali Gupta) accidentally mixes the truth serum in  Aahil‘s (Karanvir Bohra) apple pie that both Sanam (Surbhi Jyoti) and her hubby eat. The serum takes effect and Aahil starts disclosing the secrets of his troubled childhood. Sanam and Aahil spend the night in each other’s arms, however, by morning things are no longer the same. Aahil is angry with Sanam because he believes that his wife tricked him by mixing something in his food. He doesn’t listen to Sanam’s reasoning and lashes out at her.

In the upcoming episode, Sanam will pack her belongings and walk out of the house. Seeing Sanam leave Aahil will panic and request her to forgive him. But Sanam will be in no mood for his apologies, so Aahil will go down on one knee and beg for forgiveness. Sanam says that she will stay back on one condition. Well we think Sanam will ask Aahil to quit drinking and to always tell her how he feels instead of bottling up his emotions.

Will Aahil accept her condition? Or will he let Sanam walk away from his life forever? Guess we’ll soon find out. Stay tuned to this space for more news and gossip on Qubool Hai.

Desi Kattey movie review: Suniel Shetty, Ashutosh Rana and Jay Bhanushali’s so-called sports film is a torture!

$

Anand Kumar’s Desi Kattey has written a new definition for being bad. Read on the full movie review to find out why…

What it’s about:

Two village kids grow up in a neighbourhood where they sell desi guns (kattey). It is because they have been dealing with guns all their lives, their aim is immaculate. However, they slowly grow up to become local goons in the area. The state’s powerful gangster takes them under his wing and the two are very happy as that was their childhood dream. (If it reminds you of Arjun Kapoor-Ranveer Singh-Priyanka Chopra starrer Gunday don’t blame us)

Soon after they are spotted by an ex-army officer and he sees a great talent in them. He decides to train them for various shooting championships. This was their chance to live a better life. However, one guy decides to use his skill for winning laurels for the nation while the other gets back to being in the world of crime and becomes the most feared king pin ever. Who will finally succeed in life and who will not? Watch the movie to find out…

What’s hot:

The cinemtography by S R Satish Kumar is good. However, the director Anand Kumar‘s vision was not that great and thus there were loads of flaws even in the picturisation. The music by Kailash Kher is commendable. Not that Claudia Ciesla’s item song Patnewali hoon is something great but the rest of the songs are decent ones. These were the few things that sailed people through the movie.

What’s not:

Everything about the film is pathetic. It’s story line is flawed, it’s dialogues are worse than imagined, the acting is awful and above all the direction is vague. Seasoned actors like Suniel Shetty and Ashutosh Rana have minimal screen presence. However, Ashutosh does really well in that as well. Suniel’s dialogue delivery is just as funny as it was in Border or any of his 1990s films. Jay Bhanushali impressed in Hate Story 2 but here he couldn’t prove his mettle at all. Newcomer Akhil Kapur was way too stoic and his acting reminds you of the fact that robots could even act better than him.

However, we don’t blame the actors for their bad acting. It’s the director who is to be blamed. In a film where it should have been full of guns and gory, every scene and dialogue was more than laughable. Had it promoted as a comedy film, maybe it would have done way better. Even the part where the director claimed that it is a sports film is utter rubbish. If this is a sports film then Priyanka Chopra’s Mary Kom was a dance film.

Verdict:

This film is a perfect example of what bad direction can do to a good enough plot. This movie is  torture to your senses. If you have nothing better to do this weekend, sit at home and watch Arnab Goswami on TV. That will be far more interesting that going and watching this film.
