Shiney lost a golden chance to play villain opposite SRK

While he is right now in the news for being a real life villain accused of raping his maid servant and languishing in Mumbai’s infamous Arthur Road jail, Shiney Ahuja, it is learnt had missed a golden opportunity to play the villain onscreen opposite none other than B-Town Badshah Shah Rukh Khan.
Reveals a source from SRK’s production house, “The first actor approached to play the role of the villainous producer Mukesh Mehra in Om Shanti Om was Vivek Oberoi but Vivek declined the role, since he didn’t want to be seen in a negative role, in the mega film starring King Khan. Then the next actor to be approached was Shiney Ahuja. His Gangster back then had just released, and he had been winning accolades for his acting skills in Hazaaron Khawaishen Aisi and Gangster. In fact, Shah Rukh even had a few meetings with Shiney over the role. But Shiney finally opted out of playing the part, since perhaps he thought this villain’s part may slot him as a negative role specialist actor and it would become a dead end for his solo hero aspirations.”
Well Shiney’s loss went on to become Arjun Rampal’s gain as his non-happening acting career suddenly flourished after SRK took him under his wing. But for Shiney as they say rest is history

Neha Dhupia to enter restaurant business

After actresses like Sushmita Sen and Ayesha Takia have taken to restaurant business, it is now former Miss India turned actress Neha Dhupia’s turn to start an eating joint. Neha Dhupia believes that she can be very good at hospitality.
A friend of Neha says, “The very thought of people eating makes her very happy. Neha has always been a good host, and many of her other friends can vouch for that. She likes people coming over to her home for lunch and dinner. What’s more, she loves feeding them. So starting a restaurant will be an ideal deal for her.”
Incidentally, Neha has bought a new house at Goa recently, and has been busy decorating it. “I love Goa and I bought this place so that I can go over the weekends and chill out there,” she says. It won’t be surprising if Neha plans to open a restaurant in Goa next.
For the moment though, Neha is very busy with her tight shooting schedule as she has back-to-back releases lined up for this year. There is Pappu Can’t Dance Saala and Raat Gayi Baat Gayi by actor-director Saurabh Shukla, Raftaar co-starring Emraan Hashmi and Priyadarshan’s De Dhana Dhan.

Rahul Bose combats Global Warming with blog

Rahul Bose in association with Bigadda.com, a networking site from Reliance, has volunteered to pen down his activities to bring environmental awareness.
“There are many things that India should know about the dangers in climate change and the initiatives that should be taken to combat it,” Rahul Bose said.
It may be known that Rahul Bose has always been actively involved in issues concerning global warming and volunteering to blog about the activities to combat the issue is yet another initiative taken up by the actor.

Tired Saif Backs Away From Premiere Plans

The recent hectic round of production-related activities and marketing culminating in the painful process of pacifying the Sikh federations on the length of his beard, has taken a toll on Saif Ali Khan.
The actor is exhausted and completely not in the mood for any more events related to the film.
The premiere last night was held in Delhi instead of Mumbai. This would be construed as odd behavior considering all of Saif and Kareena’s friends together at a Mumbai premiere would have constituted almost the entire industry. And they were just a phone call away.
Says Saif, “That’s precisely why we decided not to have a premiere in Mumbai. I’d have had to call up everyone personally and ask them to come. It would’ve seemed like asking for a favor. And I don’t want anyone to watch my film out of a sense of generosity.”
The last-minute decision to shift the venue of the premiere to Delhi kept most of Saif’s colleagues out. But it didn’t stop Akshay Kumar from rooting for Love Aaj Kal from London. Akshay prophesied it would be a big hit.
Saif is delighted. “I’m so happy Akshay said that. I wish the industry would show more kindness towards films. When Kareena’s Kambakkht Ishq came there was so much negativity about it. It’s scary.”
It’s this fear of an anticipatory wail that provoked Saif to transfer the premiere venue.
“It wasn’t really a premiere in Delhi. Just a screening for people close to us,” clarifies Saif. “Only the cast and crew and people connected with the film were there. That’s the way we wanted to keep it.”
But Saif and Kareena’s friends in Mumbai are none too pleased. One of his leading ladies with whom he recently did a racy film says, “What’s the point of a premiere in Delhi when the whole industry is in Mumbai? I’d have definitely gone, for Saif and Imtiaz Ali’s sake. I want to see what they’ve done together.”
But Saif isn’t really bothered. It has been a hectic time for him. “Earlier producers like Ramesh Taurani made me do a lot of publicity for their films. Now I totally followed that model for my own production. And I’m exhausted. When I was younger I found publicity boring. Now I know better.”
The experience of producing a film has helped Saif understand the value of economizing. “I used to waste a lot of money and I’m not proud of it. It’s not about cutting corners. It’s an art to respect money. I’ve seen my wealthy friends buying the right air tickets, booking the right room at the best possible prices. We did go a tiny bit over-budget in my first production. Next time it won’t happen.”

My director thinks from between his legs- Kavita Kaushik

Kavita Kaushik famously known as Chandramukhi Chautala gets candid in an interview and talks about FIR and her character.
On the new season…
In the earlier seasons I use to chase Shiv and now, Ali will be after me. So in this season a man’s fantasies will entertain the audience. There are so many dream sequences in this season which are romantic and at the same time funny. There are sequences, where he would imagine me romancing with him in gharelu attire. There are also a lot of dance sequences between us for which I will be dressing up in vibrant colours.
On FIR’s success…
It’s the character that clicked with the audience, a sexy girl who carries manly idiosyncrasies. Her accent has clicked with the masses; honestly it draws lot of male attention. Our director has got the best of comic timing. He always has sex on his mind! So it kind of comes out in all the romantic and naughty scenes. In this season we have lot of Ali’s imagination and dreams that are portrayed beautifully, and do not look vulgar at all.
On her Haryanvi accent…
I have copied the entire personality and eccentricity from my dad to portray Chandramukhi Chautala. He’s an ex-cop, though not Haryanvi, but still he had lot of subordinates who were from north. He use to converse with them in that accent. In fact he addresses us as balko at home.
On Bollywood copying her…
Generally tele-actors tend to copy Bollywood, but I am definitely flattered that my character is copied by Neetu Chandra for a film. But I will never repeat the Haryanvi character again, it is only for FIR. There was a time when I use to do negative role, I was only offered negative roles. In fact in my last film I was asked to play a Haryanvi character, but I convinced them for Bengali.
On the sets of FIR…
We shoot for six days a week. So while we are not shooting, we actually miss the shoots. I make pani-puri for everyone.I wear a big shirt and make pani-puri for everyone.
On Shiv Pandit…
I do miss shooting with Shiv Pandit. Now when I watch the reruns I feel good about our Jodi, we look so good together. I miss watching us together.
On Ali…
There is an age gap between us that is shown on-screen. He is a sweet charming chocolate boy and I am the masculine strong woman. Chocolate boy with hunterwaali is a very interesting combination.

Bipasha Wins The Home Round Over John

Both Bipasha Basu and John Abraham have been busy this year getting their respective homes renovated.
Bipasha, it seems, has won the race to renovation. Her home in Khar (Mumbai) under renovation for the past one year is finally ready.
And Bipasha is moving back to her home.
Heaving a sigh of relief she says, “The housewarming puja is tomorrow (Wednesday) since there is no other auspicious day close by. But it will take another ten days for all of us to move back into our home. It’s been one helluva wait. The architects and designers took much longer than we thought they would. But finally I’m going home. I can’t wait. I’m tired of living out of suitcases.”
Bipasha’s boyfriend John, currently shooting in London will have to wait more for his home to be ready.
His family home on Bandra Bandstand has been under renovation for some months now, with no sign of completion yet.
Now with John in London until September the work may take longer.
“But I’m not worried. My brother is an architect and he’s taking good care of the renovation work,” says John from London with a false bravado.
However now that his better half’s home is done John intends to fly back from London periodically to check out the progress with his home.
“I’m thinking of coming down for one day every weekend, if that’s possible. But I’m glad Bipasha’s home is finally ready. That’s as good as my own home, no?”

Shilpa Shetty back as host for Bigg Boss 3!

Not many are aware the channel Colors has already began their planning for the second season of their popular reality show Bigg Boss in full swing. The show is being planned to go on air from coming October. Fans of Shilpa Shetty will be rejoiced to know that she has been more or less confirmed for hosting the show yet again.
Reveals a source, “The channel has been in talks with Shilpa Shetty for hosting the second season and she seems to have given her nod, however she is still to be signed on the dotted line. The talks about the money factor are yet to be finalized. One can recall she was paid a bomb for hosting the show. But this year with the ongoing recession, she may have to adjust her price. Even Salman Khan has agreed for a lesser price for hosting 10 Ka Dum’s second season so it is most likely that Shilpa too, will settle for something lesser than what she was paid last year.”
The source further adds, “The makers of the show are also planning to bring a lot of variations in the show by adding more surprise elements and more interesting guests. Faces that have been constantly shown on TV for the last one year may be avoided because they are already over exposed. The hunt for the 12 house inmates is on.

Big B remembers Gayatri Devi as picture of grace, beauty

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan remembers Gayatri Devi, the grand queen mother or the ‘rajmata’ of Jaipur, as a “picture of grace and beauty” and a gracious host.
Amitabh recalls that while he was studying in Delhi University, he used to sneak into the Jaipur Polo Ground to watch polo matches where Gayatri Devi used to come as well.

“The maharaja of Jaipur (Sawai Man Singh), a great proponent of the game, would play there and accompanying him used to be his wife, the Rajmata Gayatri Devi. In her soft and pastel flowered chiffons, she used to be a picture of grace and beauty. I never imagined that one day I would get to meet this lady. But time and circumstances changed that,” the actor posted on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com.

Gayatri Devi died Wednesday at the Jaipur-based Santokba Durlabhji Memorial Hospital (SDMH) where she was admitted Tuesday for breathing problems. She was 90.

When Amitabh learnt of Gayatri Devi’s ill health a few days ago, he sent her a bouquet of flowers and a get well card.

“Her son had acknowledged my letter and informed us that she was very pleased to have received my concern and wishes…May she rest in peace.”

Amitabh had met her on many occasions.

“After joining the movies, there were many visits to Jaipur for shootings and that is when a formal introduction with the Rajmata took place. I was later asked by Gayatri Deviji to inaugurate one of the functions at the girls school (Maharani Gayatri Devi) that she started, now a flourishing institution.

“Some years ago she had invited me to be the chief guest at a charity she promoted for the underprivileged and cannot forget what a gracious host she was that evening. On another occasion she called me over for a private lunch at her Lily Pond residence, serving me personally with delicious vegetarian delicacies which she had so considerately asked her kitchen to prepare,” he said.

However, the last time that the erstwhile maharani of Jaipur sought Amitabh’s involvement, he couldn’t make it. And that was the last communication he had with her.

Vidya Balan signed up for Yash Chopra’s next?

There is a strong buzz in the industry circles that Vidya Balan has been signed by Yash Chopra for his directorial next. It is the same project which was supposed to star Aamir Khan along with Preity Zinta. But while, Aamir is still being non-committal about being approached for the project, other news making the rounds is that Preity has been replaced by Vidya Balan.
Sources are claiming that it is a love story spanning ages, but is completely different to what Chopra’s last directorial effort Veer Zara was. Incidentally, Veer Zara also had its lead pair Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta playing characters both young and old. Sources further claim that Yash Chopra intends to begin this film by early 2010 and make it a grand Diwali 2010 release. He will be finally directing a film after 6 years since he directed Veer Zara (2004).
While there has been no confirmation from both Vidya Balan or Yash Raj Films yet, we can only imagine right now what crackling chemistry it would be of Aamir and Vidya, and to top it all with romance king Yash Chopra directing it.

Film shoot disrupted by wild elephant to resume Friday

The shooting of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai starrer “Raavan”, disrupted when an elephant ran amok in the jungle where it is being shot, will resume Friday, cinematographer Santosh Sivan said here Thursday. “We will resume shooting tomorrow (Friday),” Sivan told IANS.

The tusker, whose name is Kunju, killed 51-year-old mahout Andavan. After the incident, the road at nearby Athirapally forest was blocked and the cast and crew of Mani Ratnam’s film could not return to their hotel.

“We didn’t see much since we were shooting on the other side of the bridge… so we couldn’t cross over… we had to stop shooting, but I didn’t see anything except the confusion. We had to spend a few hours in a guest house in the forest,” said Sivan.

Neither the actors nor any crew member of the film was injured.

Later the elephant was chained and tranquilised by veterinary doctors.

Besides Abhishek and Aishwarya, “Raavan” also stars Vikram, Govinda and Manisha Koirala. It is being made in Hindi and Tamil simultaneously.

Deepika-Farhan bond on Karthik Calling Karthik sets

Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padukone are the latest BFF (best friends forever) of B-Town. It is learnt that they have been bonding big time on the sets of their upcoming film together, Karthik Calling Kathik.
A source reveals, “Ever since Deepika Padukone has begun shooting with the Rock On star, she and Farhan have clicked big time on the sets. She has always been in awe of his films be it Dil Chahata Hai, Lakshya or Don, and she just can’t stop gushing about him. Whether it’s his acting abilities or his directorial instincts, Deepika is simply impressed. On the other hand Farhan likes Deepika’s professional attitude.
By the way Deepika is excited about her role in their thriller together Karthik Calling Karthik. Unlike her roles in Om Shanti Om and Bachna Ae Haseeno Deepika for the first time will be essaying a de-glam role in the movie. She says it’s a role, which she has performed for the first time. Describing her role as a challenging one Deepika says, “The character is far different from what I am. The film is not at all glamorous. It’s not about clothes, make up or songs and dances. It’s purely about performance.”

I worked very hard to look Sikh- Saif

The been refrain from Nagin in Love Aaj Kal has caught on like wildfire.
“I’m glad. Because my producer Dinesh Vijeyan chased it up obsessively and we paid a small fortune to get the rights for that music from Sa Re Ga Ma,” informs Saif.
Kareena predicted that music will play at every discotheque in the country.
Saif and his director Imtiaz Ali held a press conference at a Gurdwara in Mumbai on Wednesday, before Sikh heads and prominent members of federations.
Says Saif, “That’s the way they wanted it and we didn’t mind at all. As long as the Sikh community understands that our intentions are completely honourable, we didn’t mind doing anything to appease the sentiments of the Sikhs.
” Saif says he worked really hard to get the nuances of the Sikh character right. “Imtiaz and I didn’t want the character to be even slightly caricatural. We worked very, very, hard on the body language, and the speech. Then if the beard appeared not long enough, we couldn’t help it. Once people see the film they’ll know, there’s nothing to protest about. Everyone will be proud of me.”
But was the media interaction allowed in a Gurdwara?
Says Saif, “It wasn’t really inside the Gurdwara; but in an office, within the premise. We all met and sorted it out.”

Salman upset with the producers

Salman Khan does not seem to be very pleased with the producers of tinsel town. Recently, at the music launch of a film titled Shadow he displayed his annoyance towards the money-makers of Bollywood.
Salman Khan, who is well-known for not leaving a single opportunity to take a jibe on anyone, was surprisingly all praise for the newly turned producer actor Naseer Khan. Naseer despite being blind in real-life has played the role of a sharp shooter and car mechanic. Salman somehow was more impressed with producer Naseer Khan than actor.
Comparing him with the other top-notch producers in the industry today, he applauded the honesty in Naseer as a producer. “I respect Naseer, for he did not use his disability to make a fool of people associated with his film, which he could easily do. Unlike others producers who are always ready with some or the other excuse to escape from paying the money, Naseer has be a real gentleman,” says the star.
Well, after listening to all this, is Salman really upset with the producers or was he trying to be nice to debutant producer? Anyway, it is the fate of the film which is going to make difference in Naseer’s career and not some peppy comments. Ain’t we right on that Salman?

Bollywood hottie Tanushree Dutta pairs with Vishal

Bollywood’s alluring missy Tanushree Dutta pairs up with Vishal for his forthcoming film “Theeradha Vilaiyaattu Pillai’. The film is produced by Vishal’s elder brother Vikram Krishna under the banner of GK Film Corporation. He had earlier produced Vishal’s ‘Chellamae’, ‘Sandaikozhi’, ‘Thimiru’ and ‘Thoranai’.
The film “Theeradha Vilaiyaattu Pillai’ features Vishal as protagonist, while three heroines will be starring opposite him in female leads. Earlier, Bollywood’s Neetu Chandra had signed the deal and now Tanushree Dutta has given her call sheets. Director Thiru says, “We are holding talks with a newcomer for the role of another heroine, and it will all be confirmed within couple of days.
‘ Prakash Raj and Santhanam, who earlier acted in Vishal’s “Thoranai’, have been roped for performing prominent roles. Yuvan Shankar Raja scores music while Aravind Krishna cranks the camera.
Shooting for “Theeradha Vilaiyaatu Pillai’ will hit the floors in Chennai by first week of August.

Tragedy strikes on the sets of ‘Raavana’

Looks like Mani Ratnam has been perpetually prone to misfortunate, ever since he ventured into the filming of his bilingual flick “Raavan’. Right from Day 1, the ace filmmaker has been exposed to obstructions. Earlier, he was supposed to sign a deal of Rs.150 Crores with a top-notch production house but they later backed off. Also, Forest Department of Kerala imposed many restrictions that dissuaded Mani Ratnam, and he opted for other location.
Amidst these issues, his health was affected, and he suffered cardiac arrest, which in turn stalled the filming for nearly a month. However, as he withstood against all these odd factors, an appalling tragedy hit their shooting floors, last evening in the forests of Athirapally, Kerala. Kunju– A male elephant out of madness turned to be more ferocious killing its own trainer on the spots.
The entire film crew inclusive of Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, Vikram and others were blown out of waters witnessing this incident. They were immediately commuted to furthermore deeper regions of forest, until other trainers calmed it down.
Witnessing the nightmarish scenario, Mani Rathnam has shifted the shooting to forest regions of Ooty and Coonoo

Celina sends flowers to police officers

Beauty queen-turned-actress Celina Jaitley was so overwhelmed with a ban on use of horses, elephants and camels by police here that she sent flowers to the officers.
Celina, who is an active member of animal rights organisation People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), sent bouquets and a card to commissioner of police Satyapal Singh and DCP Special Branch R.P. Sengaonkar who were instrumental in banning the use of the animals in the city, said a statement released here Thursday.

“Thank you for standing up for those who cannot speak for themselves”, Celina wrote in the card.

Anuradha Sawhney, PETA India chief functionary, said: “Humane people around the world are watching India’s treatment of animals. We applaud the Pune officers for taking action and urge other officers to do so, too”.

The animals were forced to pull oversized loads or give joyrides on crowded streets.

Shyam Benegal remembers the ‘delicate’ Leela Naidu

Veteran film maker Shyam Benegal, who directed the elegant Leela Naidu in Trikaal in 1985, recalls that the actress was “delicate-looking and beautiful” and “particularly good with children”.

Leela Naidu died here Tuesday after prolonged illness. She was 69.

“Long before I directed Leela Naidu in Trikaal in 1985 I had done an ad with her in the mid-60s for a fabric. At that time she was at her loveliest. Soon after Time magazine had declared her to be one of the most beautiful in the world,” Benegal said.

“I must say she was very delicate-looking and beautiful. She looked so lovely in Merchant-Ivory’s ‘The Householder’,” Benegal added.

It didn’t take much persuasion from Benegal to convince Leela Naidu to do “Trikaal”.

“I had no difficulty at all in convincing her to do ‘Trikaal’. She was very keen to do the film. She hadn’t really retired from movies. But she wasn’t getting the roles that did justice to her personality. She had qualities of the kind that didn’t suit the Indian film industry.

“Our industry has too many parameters and restrictions. The leading lady was expected to have a certain kind of looks and abilities. They were expected to sing and dance. All that is changing now. But during her times the parameters were rigid. And she just didn’t fit in.”

Benegal had a wonderful time shooting for “Trikaal” with the lovely Leela.

“At that time she was married to writer Dom Moraes. Both of them were in Goa for the shooting. Leela was wonderful. One of her many qualities was that she took charge of the younger actors. She was very caring. She was particularly good with children. I noticed that quality the very first time when I met her. She calmed down a child who was feeling very insecure because her parents weren’t around. That child stuck to Leela as though she was the child’s mother. Leela was a wonderful person,” he added.

Vivek Oberoi connection in Aishwarya’s Ravana!

South superstar Vikram is supposed to make his Bollywood debut with Mani Ratnam’s Ravana. He plays Aishwarya Rai’s hubby in the film. But now much before Ravana’s release, two of the famous Tamil star’s films have come in Hindi as dubbed versions of his Tamil super hits. While his Anniyan dubbed as Aparichit came in 2006, last Friday his Dhill released as Meri Aan-Man in Work. Interestingly, this Meri Aan-Man in Work is the original version of Vivek Oberoi starrer Dum!
Vikram is a National award winner for the Best Actor for his Tamil film Pithamagan (2003). He had also featured in Tere Naam’s Tamil original titled Sethu, where he had played the role that was later played by Salman Khan. Many Bollywood filmmakers had been trying to rope him in for big projects, but he only gave his nod to Mani Ratnam. But ironically two of his old Tamil films have now already released in Hindi dub versions. It is also known that two more of his Tamil films will be dubbed and released in Hindi, as Ravana release nears. Vikram must be terming it a necessary evil for sure!
One can recollect Firoz Nadiadwala’s film Aan– Men At Work released in 2004. Nadiadwala had to add Men At Work to his title Aan since he could not get his desired title, now it seems the dub rights owners of Dhill want to cash in on Aan– Men At Work by titling their film such, to give an impression of that film.

Chak De Girl ka Tihar Mein Tehalka!

We have all heard of fan frenzy moments with actors but this incident takes the cake and the bakery too! Recently life came to a full circle for Chak de girl Shilpa Shukla. She was visiting her folks in Delhi and got this sudden urge to visit the Tihar jail. She wasn’t seeking some real life inspirations for her future characters, her portrayal as Rajuben in a tele-film where she had convincingly portrayed and essayed the role which was inspired on the life of Mumbai’s first real-life gangster woman Neeta Naik had already got her accolades for her performance.
A source close to Shilpa who had worked closely with her during the making of the tele-film confessed, “Shilpa is a kick-ass actress. Anurag Kashyap was adamant that only she could do the role effectively, although Charudutt Acharya who wrote the screenplay for Rajuben had only her in mind while he was writing it. The manner in which she has balanced the different layers of performances is truly amazing’.
Elaborating extensively on Shukla’s trip to Tihar jail, our source added, “it seems that initially Shilpa wasn’t recognized at all since she was dressed in western attire and glares. This was much before the elaborate check which takes place for any visitor who visits Tihar jail. Shilpa was her humble self, she willingly complied and didn’t make any noise. It was only when the lady constable persisted that she should remove her glares that the cat was let out of the bag’.
What followed was a big time tehalka in Tihar jail. The jail superintendent was summoned, careless whispers about the Chak de star making an entry spread like wild fire. Although the superintendent was slightly perturbed about the true reason for Shilpa’s visit, he hushed the actor into his personal chamber to avoid aggravating the situation. Continued our source, “apparently, the senior jail staff brought to Shilpa’s notice that the gangster Ashwini Naik (husband of Neeta Naik on whom the tele-film is based) had served part of his sentence in Tihar jail. All the superintendents, police officers and the jailors had been personally following the tele-film while it was being telecast. Also since Shilpa’s film Chak de was being shown on national network, they loved the fact that a Delhi ki beti had made it big in Bollywood’.
When Shilpa Shukla was contacted for confirmation, she was amazed that the news had caught on to us. Initially trying to shrug it off, she finally confirmed that “the visit did open my eyes. I was treated like a star. All the police walas wanted to sip chai with me and click my pictures on their cell phones. I was even given an open-door, super-charged treatment by getting an insight into the workings and living conditions of the prisoners. It is amazing how human beings create life around them, whatever the situation is. There was a moment when I got tears in my eyes. It was one of the prisoners across the bars who said to the lady visiting him “unko console kar de’.
What also touched her the most was that all the prisoners had a common query, “Shahrukh sahib kaise hain’. Having worked closely with SRK, Shilpa feels that “Shahrukh has this abundant positive energy that infuses vociferously through every role he plays. I have three releases lined up this year (a guest appearance in Chal Chalein, a lead role in Mumbai Mastkallandar and Vicky Chopra’s Seasons Greetings) but it is the sheer charisma of being SRK (She has worked with him closely during Chak De) that even the Tihar inmates adore him’. Must say, a true-to-life empathic experience for Shilpa Shukla. Meeting hardened criminals requires sheer grit and guts. Just like the epitomic and glorious manner in which she is carefully balancing her choice of film roles.

Ghar ka khana for Jennifer Winget

Jennifer Winget could be termed as the dream girl of many young guys. The vivacious actress is looking stunning and beautiful with her character of Dr. Riddhima in Dill Mill Gaye. We called the actor to know her secret of this freshness and fitness in her life.
“There is nothing much to say, but all I can tell is that I try to be different in all the shows that I act in. It’s challenging for me to bring something new every time,” says Jennifer.
The actress is looking much slimmer as compared to her past shows. Has she toned down for her role in DMG? “Well it was not exactly for the role, but I like to discover my new side in each show that I take up,” she adds.
When asked about her fitness and freshness secret, she reveals, “To be frank enough, there is no secret about the same, nor am I on a diet and starving to look thinner. It’s just that now, I have started giving more attention to my mind, body and soul.”
“There is no diet food for me, as I know I eat like a pig. I just love sweets, junk food and I do pounce on that regularly, but at the same time I do my exercise regularly and have ghar ka khanna made by my mom. With that I drink lots of vegetable juice which helps me to be fresh throughout the day,” she chirps.
She loves to eat the food cooked by her mom. It’s a big no-no for her having the on-set food. “I get my dabba from home and love to have fish and chicken curry made by my mom. With proper eating habits I also see to it that my body gets proper rest, one needs to take a good sleep and I always follow that,” she concludes.
So viewers get set and go if you want to look as beautiful as Dr. Riddhima.
