Daisy Shah, who was last seen in the erotic thriller Hate Story 3, says she would never opt for bold roles again in her career. Daisy, made her acting debut in Hindi films with Salman Khan-starrer Jai Ho and was next seen in Hate Story 3.

Daisy says, “I did the film (Hate Story 3) deliberately to break the girl-next-door image. People felt I could only be best for roles of a simple girl. I wanted to break the mould and so I did Hate Story 3. It is not something that I would like to pursue again in my career.”

Daisy is part of Salman’s next leg of the Dabangg Tour in United Kingdom along with Sonakshi Sinha, Jacqueline Fernandez, Manish Paul, Badshah, Sooraj Pancholi, Prabhu Deva and Kamal Khan.

Though Daisy, 33, is a trained dancer and a former choreographer, she says she still gets nervous before a performance. “A bit of nervousness is essential as in a way it helps you deliver your best. I don’t have stage or camera fright but there is a little anxiety while performing in front of a lot of people. My focus is on giving my best and I have to enjoy my performance as then only audience will enjoy,” she adds.

The makers of superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited entertainer Raees have said the film is not based on any real life story and is a pure work of fiction.

The clarification comes in the wake of reports that Shah Rukh’s character in the film is inspired by about Gujarat-based gangster Abdul Latif.

“We are overwhelmed with the positive and encouraging response showered on the trailer of Raees and we certainly hope that the pouring of love shall continue upon the release of the film as well,” read a joint statement issued on behalf of Shah Rukh, Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar and director Rahul Dholakia.

Women are constantly asked to balance home and work. It’s unfair: Vidya Balan

Bollywood actor Vidya Balan, who will clock four years of marital bliss with producer Siddharth Roy Kapur on Wednesday, says she finds balancing life between home and work an “overrated” concept, and that she is no longer trying to be “superwoman”.

Asked how does she juggle work and home, Vidya said, “I don’t juggle. I’m no longer trying to be superwoman. I am a woman who when I’m working, I’m working, when I’m home, I’m home, when I’m chilling, I’m chilling. Sometimes, when I don’t feel like doing anything, I don’t do anything. So, I think this balancing is really overrated because women are constantly asked to balance home and work and it’s unfair,” she added.

Having said that, the actress, who was recently seen on the big screen in Kahaani 2, said when she is away from home and is not there for a special occasion with her family or her husband, she does feel “guilty”. “Maybe I feel guilty because I am a girl. Maybe a man wouldn’t feel the same way because you take it for granted that a man sometimes can’t make it to certain special occasions because they are working. We (women) still feel that we should work and be there (for occasions too). But I think these unrealistic expectations are slowly shedding,” she added.

OK Jaanu trailer: It is love versus career for Shraddha and Aditya

© Provided by Hindustan Times

Just days after the release of Ranveer Singh-Vaani Kapoor-starrer Befikre — a film on no-strings-attached romance of the new generation, Dharma Productions released the first trailer of yet another millennial love story. The first trailer of Sharddha Kapoor-Aditya Roy Kapur-starrer OK Jaanu is out.

While Befikre made ‘carefree sex’ its USP, OK Jaanu harps on how detached modern-day relationships really are. The three-minute-long video shows Adi (Aditya) and Tara (Shraddha) on a heady, no strings attached romantic trip until their careers pull them apart.

The focus in OK Jaanu, directed by Shaad Ali, is on the emotional chaos that follows random hook-ups. As Shraddha says, “Waqt aane par na aadat chutati hai, na pyar.” The trailer doesn’t exactly make it clear if it is love that the lead couple feels for each other. It rather insists that even a habit is hard to quit.

After Aati kya khandala (Ghulam), Aamir Khan has recorded another song, Dhaakad, from his upcoming movie Dangal.

The video will be showcased for the first time at the Lux Golden Rose awards, to be telecast on December 18 on ZEE TV channel, a press release said.

Dhaakad talks about women empowerment and the makers have dedicated it to the daughters of India.

Sources close Aamir said when the actor got to know that the award function will acknowledge women for their efforts, he too wanted to do something special for them. So he went ahead and made his version of Dhaakad, to applaud women power and also introduce his on screen daughters Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra.

Befikre is bold just because it has some kissing and nude scenes?

If Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was a child’s idea of romance, then Befikre is Yash Raj trying to take love to its adult conclusion.

The Ranveer Singh-Vaani Kapoor starrer is being seen as a fresh take on modern-day romance -- a perception created by a lot of passionate on-screen kissing.

Makers of the movie must not be complaining because such a billing of the film as “bold” always fuels massive media hype.

But in the process, everybody always commits the same mistake: Take kissing and on-screen romance as the ultimate proof that a movie is bold and groundbreaking.

Does the Indian film industry commodifies or objectifies a woman more than they do men?

We all objectify things and products and people to sell the product we wish to sell. For me sometimes, it is selling brand ‘Sunny Leone’. For a film, it’s selling the name with the film,” said Sunny, who is now celebrating her fifth year anniversary in Bollywood.

Mommy to be Kareena Kapoor Khan admits she’s OWNED her pregnancy and we can’t agree more!

Here's Kareena Kapoor Khan's latest statement over dealing with pregnancy...

Pregnancy has probably got the best out of Kareena Kapoor Khan. I mean, not that she was any less prettier before but the fact how Kareena is breaking the internet by rocking her baby bump, one pic at a time is so damn inspiring. Aren’t we totally digging on her style game? There was a time when people would hide their baby bumps or treat the whole maternity phase like as if it’s a crime for a pregnant woman to work, or even step out of their house. But Kareena being an exception, is assuring to look as beautiful as ever even in her maternity wear, flaunting her curves and breaking all the stereotypes surrounding pregnancy. 

“I pray Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech stay away from his mom” – sister in law Akansha Sharma speaks up AGAIN!

Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech, here's a message coming from your ex sister-in-law Akansha Sharma (ex contestant of Bigg Boss 10)

While everyone is showering blessings on the newly married couple – Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech. Sister in law or let’s say ‘ex sister-in-law’ Akansha Sharma prays that Yuvraj and Hazel stay away from Yuvi’s mom Shabnam post marriage. Yes, Akansha who was married to Yuvi’s brother Zoravar, refuses to get over her traumatic past which was majorly ruined by Shabnam, who eventually probed her to run away from that house. Remember, how she had publicly ranted about it during her stint on Bigg Boss 10? In fact, even during our exclusive interaction with Akansha post her elimination from Bigg Boss 10, she had revealed shocking details about how she had no sexual relationship with her ex husband and that she was treated like a servant to her mom-in-law.

So it comes as no surprise that when Spotboye got in touch with Akansha to get her reaction on Yuvraj and Hazel Keech’s marriage which was held yesterday, the sister in law had only one thing to say, “I pray they stay alone and have no meddling from Shabnam. Hazel is lucky that she got married Yuvi, who is a wonderful person. Unlike my husband, he won’t take any interference from his mother.  Anyway, he never stays in Delhi for more than 3 days.” We wonder how Shabnam or Yuvraj will react to this…
