Exhausted Priyanka

Priyanka Chopra is on cloud nine after the superb success of ‘Fashion’ and ‘Dostana’. The sexy actress has gone into a hiding by choice after churning out six back to back releases this year and exhausting herself to the hilt.

In an interview given to a news daily the actress gushed “I’m exhausted and really tired. I think I’ll go into hiding for six months till my next film releases which is almost in mid 2009 and that will be ‘Kaminey’”.

Though the actress will be shooting on and off for ‘Kaminey’ and ‘What’s Your Rashee?’ she will be taking some time off to rejuvenate as none of her flicks are lined up for release as of now. When asked about her unwinding plans, the actress said “There are a lot of things that I have been wanting to do since long, hopefully I’ll be able to try out some of them during this breather”.

In the meanwhile, the actress will be seen making a special appearance in Aditya Chopra’s Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’. “Not that I am going away or something like that, I am going to be pretty much around; it is just that I want to take it a little easy” is what the actress had to say when asked about her plans to go off track. Well with so much of hard work gone in, that is the least Priyanka can ask for, can’t she?

Get set to watch a never-before-seen scene on the ramp. At an upcoming fashion event in January, 24 former Indian beauty queens will reportedly walk the ramp and some of them will even perform on the occasion.

Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Dia Mirza, Zeenat Aman, Juhi Chawla, Sangeeta Bijlani, Meenakshi Sesadri and Diana Hayden are some of the names who have been approached to participate in the event. Some of them have already agreed and the last few deals will be finalised by mid-December.

This three-day event has been initiated by Reel Life Entertainment of film producer Vinay Sinha and United Multimedia of Mehul Choksey from the Gitanjali group and Sanjay Sharma.

Priti Shinoy of Reel Life Entertainment says, “This event will felicitate the Indian fashion industry.” She informs that their advisory panel comprising Kabir Bedi, Prahlad and Ashvini Kakkar, Ashok Salian, Ashok Pandit and others will formulate 26 different categories across all sectors in the fashion industry. And they will also shortlist four nominations from each category.

In the month of September a 15 year boy named Nasir Sultan was arrested by the Border Security Force (BSF) of India.Nasir's crime was that he was from Pakistan and had crossed the Indian border illegally.

Subsequently he was put up in the juvenile jail at the Faridkot town in Punjab.The reason that propelled him to do the daring act was just a burning desire to see his favourite actor Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan and also participate in a TV reality singing contest.

Saying that he will come back in the evening, he had left his house on the morning of Auguest 14. Only after he landed up in the Jail, he called his parents to inform them of his condition.

Among the south girls making their debut in Bollywood, the spotlight has been on Asin and her Ghajani.
The way the media has been going ga-ga over her has given the impression that she is going to be the next big star in Mumbai’s tinsel town.

But, before Asin makes a splash on Christmas day, the soft-spoken Sada, a one-time hot heroine of Kollywood who has acted in super hits like Jayam and Anniyan, will be seen making her debut in Bollywood. Actually, she was seen in the Hindi dubbing of Shankar’s film Aparachit, through which she got all the offers in Hindi. Sada’s first Hindi release has been titled Khallballi — Fun Unlimited, which will be releasing next Friday.

She is paired with Nikhil Dwivedi in this comedy caper. Says Sada, a Maharashtrian Muslim girl, “Khallballi is a laugh riot, and I’m really happy that I got to debut in a film which has 32 comedians including Chunkey Pandey, Johnny Lever and Rajpal Yadav. The music of the film by Sajid-Wajid is a chartbuster. Seeing the promos of the film, I have got so many offers coming my way.”
