MUMBAI, Nov. 9 -- The news that Sonam Kapoor will play Rekha's role
from her 1980 hit Khubsoorat in her father Anil Kapoor's remake, is
setting tongues wagging.
But now, we've heard that she plans to watch the classic film a few times before starting the shoot next year.
So, once she is through with Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Raanjhana, she
will get down and concentrate only on the Khoobsurat remake, produced by
her sister Rhea, who earlier teamed up with Sonam on Aisha (2010),
which was a success at the box-office.
We have heard the Kapoor sisters don't want to leave anything to chance with the remake as well.
Instead of celebrating the success of his recent hit Jab Tak Hai
Jaan, Shah Rukh Khan has already moved on and is busy shooting his next
film Chennai Express at breakneck speed.
The film has SRK paired opposite Deepika Padukone and is directed by Rohit Shetty.
As the name suggests, the train journey forms a pivotal part of the
story. In this pic, SRK is seen doing a repeat of his famous scene from
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) only this time, it's Deepika and not
Kajol and she seems to be walking slowly rather than running to catch
the train.
Moreover, while DDLJ's train sequence was shot in the EURAIL, it's
the Indian Railways here that forms the backdrop of Chennai Express.
Also what's interesting is Deepika's look in the film which resembles that of a typical South Indian village belle.
Chennai Express is slated to release in 2013
Deepika Padukone is known to be very professional when it comes to
her shooting schedules. And recently, the Cocktail actor further
reinforced her image.
Deepika, who is currently shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next,
tentatively titled Ram Leela, apparently suffered a few bruises
and scratches on her arms and feet. But despite the swelling that the wounds caused, the actor continued to shoot.
A source reveals, “Deepika was wearing a heavy ghagra choli and
weighty jewellery for a song she was shooting that day. Ranveer Singh
(co-actor) was also dressed in a dhoti. But he was wearing lots of
bracelets and armlets. The choreographer required him to lift her around
the place for the song, which is how his accessories ended up bruising
her.”
The actors were shooting the song at the set which has been created
at Film City, Goregaon. Since they were also required to stay barefoot
for the traditional number, Deepika apparently even developed blisters
on her right sole.
“But none of that deterred her from completing the shoot. She didn’t
utter a word. It was only after the crew noticed her wound that the
situation was brought to the director’s notice,” adds the source.
Deepika and Ranveer will come together for the first time in Ram
Leela, which is rumoured to be a Gujarati take on Shakespeare’s Romeo
And Juliet.
Born on March 18, 2005, in Tamil Nadu, Aaryan Balaji just did his
parents and a whole nation proud. A few months ago he scaled Mt. Kala
Pattar (17,900 ft) in Nepal, becoming the youngest person to stand on
the mountain peak. His father, K.S. Balaji is his inspiration and
trainer. The Navy Commander and mountaineer took his son under his wing
to teach him the skill of mountaineering with an effort to show him the
wonders of nature and build his personality.
On one of their trips to the Vaishno Devi shrine in the Shivalik
hills of Katra, his parents discovered that he had a natural penchant
for climbing, unwittingly using mountaineering techniques that no one
ever taught him. What attracted him on the peak were the variety of
birds and animals. "It was so nice to be on top of a mountain. I saw
Danphe (the national bird of Nepal) and wild goats. The sparrows in the
mountain were so big, they looked like pigeons," he said in all
innocence.
Next on his agenda is nothing less than Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.
The government is now seriously considering an interesting proposal made by the Women and Child development (WCD) ministry.
Husbands should pay house wives a monthly salary for all the effort
they take to maintain a home. They believe it will go a long way in the
socioeconomic empowerment of homemakers who feel unappreciated. WCD
minister Krishna Tirath said that the work women do at home goes
unaccounted for. Money is spent on cooks, cleaners and even children who
are sent to a crèche. All these responsibilities fall under economic
activity which, if recognized, could throw more accurate light on
India’s GDP and offer a better account of unemployment rate. The
minister has said that if a portion of a husband’s income is allocated
to his wife, it is likely to be better spent on necessities to upgrade
the standard of living. A survey has been conducted on the subject and
more consultations are planned to see this proposal through. Several
NGOs have supported the idea.
If you are among those who skips breakfast to lose weight, hear this.
All that you end up losing is your health and happiness. Nutrition
experts insist that a filling breakfast actually helps you lose weight
by curbing hunger through the day.
As the body goes without food through the night, a whole morning
without nourishment weakens the system. Blood sugar is disrupted and
insulin output is affected. You also tend to binge eat at odd hours or
gorge on junk food later in the evening when low metabolism slows down
digestion, leading to extra weight gain. Skipping breakfast brings down
your energy level, leaveing you unfocused and craving for food whole
day. They suggest a full meal first thing in the morning, complete with
carbohydrates, protein and fibre that comes from cereals, eggs, fruits
and milk etc.
At all costs its imperative to avoid deep fried food, preserved food,
left over foods, high sugar foods such as cakes and pastries. They also
advise against just a glass of juice. Brown bread is recommended over
white bread. Research has also shown that breakfast skippers are heavier
and unhealthier than those who have a fresh, healthy meal.
