Priyanka Chopra! Ravan`s sister? Ketan Mehta's 3-D animated Ramayan The Epic has Ravan's sister Shurpanakha looking similar to Priyanka Chopra.

Director Chetan Desai says, "In Hindu mythology, she was known as the most beautiful woman. We had to find someone as stunning as Shurpanakha.

No Indian celebrity could be found to match her face. It was then that I remembered Priyanka in Aitraaz and how she looked then.

I referenced Shurpanakha's character from Priyanka's basic looks in Aitraaz. " Wonder what PC has to say to this?

Eesha`s spooktacular partyEesha Koppikhar gets a themed bash and a luxury car from husband on her b'day

Actor Eesha Koppikar got a luxury car from husband Timmy Narang as a birthday gift. Not just that, Timmy even threw her a lavish themed birthday party.

Simple taste
Recounts the b'day gal, "Though I love cars I am very simple where my tastes are concerned. Timmy decided to pamper me by gifting me a 7 series BMW.

When I woke up in the morning, it was all packaged and ribboned in the driveway. I thought the car was for him and even remarked 'That's a nice car!' That's when Timmy told me it was for me. I was stunned!"

Koppikhar says that her birthday party started as a surprise but Timmy couldn't keep it up and kept asking her for her friends' numbers. "Finally I told him that I knew what he was up to and that I could help too. "

She adds, "The party was at Narang House with over 200 people attending. The theme was gothic with a vampire overtone. I wore a vintage black dress with black beads and a cross while Timmy wore black lipstick.

We decorated the room with illuminated crosses, creepers, coffins, candles and blue lights while the dance floor was lit up with neon lights so when we flashed our teeth they looked green. I called it my 'spooktacular party!" Even the food and beverages were in sync with the theme. "

Eesha concludes, "I cut down on films when I got married. I decided to take a sabbatical. I wanted to enjoy my marriage but now I am reading scripts and hearing narrations. "

The nightingale of India, Lata turns 81

The nightingale of India, Lata turns 81

The nightingale of India, Lata turns 81Playback legend Lata Mangeshkar turns 81 Tuesday, with fans swearing by her golden voice even as she has chosen to cut down on assignments after singing for over 1, 000 Hindi movies.

Starting her career in 1942, she reigned over the film industry for decades and is still the first preference of many filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Madhur Bhandarkar and an inspiration to established singers of today.

Lata, who was born Sep 28, 1929, also featured in the Guinness World Records book from 1974 to 1991 for having made the most recordings in the world. She was last heard in Bhandarkar's Jail.

"Lataji's birthday is a great event. She has given us so much in terms of music, love and affection. I just hope that she lives on forever and gives her blessings to us. I am very close to her and I am happy, proud and fortunate that she is close to me, " said filmmaker Yash Chopra who has vowed only to work with her among the female singers in the industry.

"Jab bhi ji chahe" (Daag); "Kabhi kabhie mere dil mein" (Kabhi Kabhie); "Neela asman so gaya" (Silsila); Meri bindiya teri nindiya (Lamhe); "Dholna" (Dil To Pagal Hai) and "Tere Liye" (Veer Zaara) are some of Lata's hit numbers for Chopra.

Bhansali is in fact composing an album as a tribute to her.

"I know every nuance in her voice. She is a miracle of nature. And there's so much in her throat that is still untapped. I first thought I'd create just one song for her in 'Guzaarish'. Then I thought, why one song when a whole ethos, era after era of supreme excellence is embodied in that voice?" Bhansali said.

"Lataji is far more than a singer. She mirrors all the beauty of the soul. It is that beauty that I want to capture in my songs, " he added.

Not just this, Bhansali's forthcoming film Guzaarish is also inspired by one of Lata's imperishable melodies, "Hai tere saath meri wafaa mein nahin to kya", composed by Madan Mohan and written by Kaifi Azmi for the film Hindustan Ki Kasam.

Starting her career in 1942 with songs in Marathi, Lata's first Hindi song was "Paa lagoon kar jori" for Vasant Joglekar's movie "Aap Ki Seva Mein" in 1946. Two years later, composer Ghulam Haider gave Lata her first major break with the song "Dil mera toda" in Majboor and after that there was no looking back for the nightingale of India, as she is fondly called.

She has worked with all the major composers of the bygone era and mesmerised the current lot too.

Lata has recorded songs for over 1, 000 Hindi movies and sung in more than 36 regional Indian languages. She is the second vocalist ever to have received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour.

Lilting melodies like "Aayega aanewala" from Mahal, "Aaja re pardesi" from Madhumati, "Pyar kiya to darna kya" from Mughal-e-Azam and "Satyam shivam sundaram" from the film of the same name still find a place on the favourite list of music lovers.

She has sung all kinds of songs in her long career, including romantic numbers like "Tumhen yaad karte karte", "Ajeeb daastan hai yeh", and naughty ones like "Main kamsin hoon", "Bahon mein chale aao", "Bangle ke peeche" and "Choti si umar main" as well as devotional songs like "Paoji maine Ram ratan dhan pao" and "O palan hare".

Even singers are still in awe of the great singer who is also the elder sister of singer Asha Bhosle.

"I can't express in words what she means to me and how I feel for her. Just want to wish her a happy and healthy life ahead, " Sunidhi Chauhan said.

Playback singer Sonu Niigaam added: "I want to wish a very happy birthday to Lataji. Many many best wishes to her. I would just like to tell her that keep enlightening India and world with your songs and bless me. "

Shahid, Priyanka's close moments In Goa!

Shahid, Priyanka's close moments In Goa!

Shahid, Priyanka`s close moments In Goa!Lots of speculations have been made and said about the alleged Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor relationship but it seems that there is no end to it. Now, there is a report that the two Bollywood stars had recently gone for a short holiday in Goa!

It seems that they want to come out of the 'good friends' tag to a publicly declared couple. Last month, when Priyanka left for Brazil to shoot for the reality show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi', she was reportedly dropped by Shahid.

The actress left for Brazil on 16th August and came back to Mumbai on 8th September, which was a gap of almost one month.

A source was quoted saying that soon after returning from Brazil, the unofficial couple made a plan to spend some time together and had a very short one-day trip to Goa. They had reportedly left on September 9 and spent just one day there. Priyanka was scheduled to leave for Delhi on the next day and the promotions of her Anjaana Anjaani followed after that.

An eyewitness was quoted saying that the stars took a 12 pm flight from Mumbai and they were seated in the business class section of the flight with number 9W-475. They were dressed in casuals and wore dark glasses, probably to avoid eye contact with anyone else.

Well, how will they keep denying their relations because paparazzi are always behind them and will find out every close moment they spend together!

I want Ranbir to fall in love: Priyanka

I want Ranbir to fall in love: Priyanka

I want Ranbir to fall in love: PriyankaThat's Priyanka Chopra on the stunt she'd like to see newfound buddy Ranbir Kapoor take on. We chatted up Ranbir and Priyanka who, soon after their first film together, are surprisingly seriously in sync

PC and RK are leaving no stone unturned before their film Anjaana Anjaani hits the big screen next week. Guest appearances, tacky tie-ups -- two of the most in-demand stars are going the whole hog. We size up the handsome duo:

Do either of you know which film this famous line is from: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers"?
Ranbir:
No... but it's a very nice line.
Priyanka: I don't either.

It is from the 1951 classic, A Streetcar Named Desire.
Ranbir:
Ohhhhh yes, the Marlon Brando one!

OK, a question about strangers that's closer home. Can you tell me which two stars featured in the 1976 film, Do Anjaane?
Priyanka:
Aawwww ¦. ????
Ranbir: I know Amitabh Bachchan is the hero; was my mother the heroine?

No, it was Rekha. Coming back to the point ¦ have you ever been dependent on the kindness of a stranger?
Ranbir: When I was in New York, I was new to the place; I had to depend on strangers even if I had to reach some place.
Priyanka: I remember when I was travelling for my studies to Boston, USA, for the first time, I was all by myself and I had these huge bags. A lady came up to me and helped me with those bags all the way to the check-in counter. It taught me a lot about compassion.

What is the weirdest conversation you've struck up with a stranger?
Ranbir:It happened in San Francisco, while I was shooting for Anjaana Anjaani. I was walking in the night at around 2 am, and it was really cold. A beggar started singing a song about his life -- how once he had everything going for him; a good career, a good life, but how whiskey spoilt everything.

I was so impressed with his openness, I gave him money. He said that he didn't want my money, although he needed it. He gave me a string that was attached to his guitar -- I still have it on my right leg, I haven't taken it off.
Priyanka: I'm not the kind of person who will make the first move with a stranger. I always like the other person to break the ice.

Okay, once the two of you were no longer strangers, did you get to know something about the other that was a shocker?
Ranbir: She's more of a daredevil than I am -- she can pick up a snake or jump off a bridge.
Priyanka: I found that at times Ranbir can be very thoughtful ¦ but only at times (laughs).

What do you guys fight about?
Ranbir: She takes far too much time to get ready. I have become friends with her so I can take the liberty of hurrying her up with: 'How much time do you take!' She is always sweet and says, 'I'm sorry'.
Priyanka: Ranbir fights with me about my unpunctuality but forgets that I'm a girl -- he expects me to miraculously change my clothes and be ready for the shot or for a party. He fights with me. I don't. Actually, we keep fighting about everything and anything all the time. We are also constantly hitting each other.

Ranbir, how do you stop PC from going on Twitter?
Ranbir: You can't. She began the craze at a time when many of us weren't even aware of it. She loves to interact with her fans.

Priyanka, make a choice -- Steve Carell doing a pole dance or Ranbir Kapoor?
Priyanka: I actually haven't seen Steve Carell dancing, but it would be a treat to watch Ranbir doing a pole dance; you will see it in this film.

Name one stunt that you would want the other to do.
Ranbir: She really loves Shah Rukh (Khan)a lot; I want her to get into a fist fight with Shah Rukh.
Priyanka: I want him to fall in love; that has not happened to him yet.

One achievement you want to your credit before you turn 30?
Ranbir: I want to become the greatest actor, the biggest star. Age has got nothing to do with it. I want to direct movies, produce movies. I want to start a family, have children. I want to start coaching a young football team, buy a home in New York. Give all the happiness to my parents.
Priyanka: I want to sing! I want to sing!

Ranbir, Katrina's love a promotional gimmick: Salman

Ranbir, Katrina's love a promotional gimmick: Salman

Ranbir, Katrina`s love a promotional gimmick: SalmanThere have been lots of hide and seek play when it comes to the alleged relationship between Kapoor Khandan's youngest charm Ranbir Kapoor and the beautiful actress Katrina Kaif. Now, there is a buzz that the couple is going to make their relation public by making a formal announcement.

The love birds have reportedly decided to declare their stand in public about the relationship. If sources are to be believed then Ranbir will follow the path of his cousin sexy star Kareena Kapoor and will announce his love for Katrina during the ongoing promotion of his upcoming movie Anjaana Anjaani.

Ranbir had earlier been involved with another Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who has decided to move on and has already chosen another partner.

But Katrina's ex Salman Khan is yet to digest the fact that his lady love has left him to opt for much younger guy Ranbir Kapoor. The Dabangg star still thinks that the much talked relationship is nothing but a promotional gimmick for their movie.

The news has been confirmed by a source, who was quoted saying that Salman considers it to be a promotional gimmick and nothing more. The actor thinks that it started when Katrina acted with Ranbir in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani and the rumor was made stronger with Rajneeti.

However, the reports suggest that Ranbir and Katrina are in a romantic relationship for more than a year now and they prefer to meet each other at their houses to avoid public gossip.

A source close to Ranbir was quoted saying that the couple is very much in love. Katrina has met almost all his relatives, who have approved her and the best part is that his parents Rishi and Neetu also like her, the source added.

Katrina reportedly visits Ranbir's Bandra home often whenever Ranbir is out of town. It seems the girl is trying to be a perfect daughter-in-law of the Kapoor family.

Well, only time will disclose what's in their mind and heart, we can just wait and watch till then!

Why Mahesh Babu Exposing Little Super Star?

Prince Mahesh Babu is one man who has been known for his media shy presence and for a long time, he was a rather private person. However, all that has changed with time and realizing the need for him to be around when his movie is around, Mahesh has been doing what he can.

Lately, it is being observed that Mahesh is not alone and he is often accompanied by his son Gautam. It is heard that the prince dotes on his young one and ensures he gives him the proper attention. However, here is the reason why the little superstar is accompanying the dad superstar.

Why Rajini's Endhiran is a must watch

Rajinikanth is not less than a God for his fans. That's probably the reason why Endhiran has become already a phenomenon before its release. Be it Chandramukhi, Kuselan, or Sivaji the Boss, Rajinikanth mania has only increased with each successive release. So what's new this time? Here're top 5 reasons why Endhiran is a must-watch.
1) Endhiran's tickets were sold in 10 min: It's hard to believe that Endhiran's tickets for the first week, in all the three versions - Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, were sold in just 10 minutes at a US theatre!
2) Fans paying for trailers: In Tamil Nadu theatres, when the first trailer of the Endhiran was released, fans made a beeline to get a ticket just to catch the glimpse of their favourite star. And guess what? Some even went for a second show.
3) Rajinikanth in 100 different avatars: Fans just can't get enough of Rajinikanth. That's probably why Rajinikanth will appear in 100 different looks in one song of the film.
4) Aishwarya Rai and Rajinikanth jodi: It would be interesting to see the ex Miss World Aishwarya Rai romancing the actor of his Paa's age.
5) It's the costliest film ever: With a budget of Rs. 150 crore, Endhiran boasts of a complete entertainment package. Watch the movie for its maginficence, the stunning visuals, and all the Rajini masala.

RGV Also Wants A Bakara Like ‘Kanna Rao’

The most talked about name right now in the film nagar area is that of Kanna Rao, albeit for the wrong reasons. The buzz is that it was purely out of craze that Kanna Rao spent Rs 27 crores to get the theatrical rights of ‘Robo’ and right now, he is in a tight spot trying to sell the film.
Meanwhile, the other grapevine making rounds is that even Ram Gopal Varma is on the lookout for someone like that. As such, there are those who are crazy about him so Ramu wants to make the most of that.
However, there is a difference here.
Ramu knows how to market a film. His presence is deep across various regions so some of them say that if Kanna Rao or someone like him associates with RGV then it makes sense. However, what Ramu takes should also work with the audience and so, it depends on the bakra’s luck once the film releases.

Will It Be A Brindavanam or Ashoka Vanam?

The Telugu Desam Party’s latest outburst against Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao and the open confrontation between both the parties are all set to cast a shadow on the release of “Brindavanam,” the forthcoming blockbuster of Junior N T Rama Rao.
There are apprehensions that the TRS activists, particularly its student wing, might resort to large scale vandalism at the theatres at the time of release of Brindavanam film. Apparently, worried over the reports that the frenzied Telangana youth may stop it from being screened, Jr NTR is believed to have met his uncle and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu to do something to ensure that the release would be a smooth affair. Since he has done the film after a long gap, Jr NTR is worried about his fate and praying god that the film should not be a disaster.
Naidu is learnt to have assured him that he would be sending his party activists to counter the TRS and see that movie runs without any interruption. But, Naidu does not understand the repercussions if there is any violence due to TDP-TRS clashes. Jr NTR wants the film to be a big hit, so that it would be a sort of gift to his heart-throb Lakshmi Pranathi, daughter of real estate magnate Narne Srinivasa Rao. The young actor is all set to marry Pranathi  on November 18 at HITEX in the city. On the eve of his wedding, NTR is throwing a massive reception party at the sprawling exhibition grounds. The cuisine is going to be a mix of south Indian, north Indian, Chinese and Continental.

Sex- Maniac Ladies In Society

A woman is considered the essence of feminine grace, a symbol of decency and someone who can construct the character in a man. But what happens when the woman herself decides to break the norms and do something wild and weird, the entire system gets disturbed and turns chaotic.

That seems to be the problem with women of today. Apparently, many incidents are coming into light wherein out of craze for cinema and heroes, family ladies are coming out and doing extreme act. Some are going to the heroes and offering themselves to get seduced just out of obsession.

Such instances are sometimes proving to be embarrassing for the stars as well. Recently, a crazy woman fan didn’t hesitate to strip herself for a hero Ranbeer amidst the presence of public and beside her fiancée. While admiration is alright, if the ladies begin to behave like this then one can imagine what sort of impact this will have on the society. Sad but true…
