She said no to Nagesh Kukunoor, the guy who gave her career’s best bollywood film Dor.

“I just couldn’t do the kissing scene in Aashayein. We tried to find a way out. But it didn’t work out for me.

Fortunately for me, Nagesh is a dear friend. He didn’t hold my no against me. We completed Tasveer with Akshay Kumar in Canada. And there was nothing there to make me uncomfortable.”

Bollywood Actress Ayesha Takia is aware that her more uninhibited colleagues are making hey-hey-hey while she refuses to get bold on camera.

“But I don’t mind losing out on roles. At least ten years from now I don’t want to look back and cringe at anything. I’ve a family and a boyfriend. And I don’t want to embarrass anyone.”

Ayesha has an exciting year ahead with films with big-league heroes. “I’m working with Actor Ajay Devgan in Sunday, Akshay Kumar in Nagesh Kukunoor’s supernatural-psychological thriller Tasveer. We shot it in one stretch in Canada.

Then I’ve Prabhu Deva’s Wanted, an action film with Bollywood Actor Salman Khan. Here I don’t have much to do. I hang around doing whatever leading ladies do …sing, dance and purse my lips when the hero fights,” she says with disarming honesty.

Candid in her self-assessment, she sees a boyfriend as no impediment to her career.
“In fact I’m so glad Farhan is no part of the industry. And that he’s a self- made man who loves me for whom I am. I don’t think having a boyfriend is any problem for a career.

The only annoying part of having a boyfriend is that every time I’ve a release I’m informed by the press that I’m getting married in two months. It irritates me. When I get married I’ll announce it from rooftops. I’m proud of my boyfriend.” says Actress Ayesha Takia

Boyfriend is no problem. But her selfcensorship code does hamper her onward progression. “There’re things that I wouldn’t do, like kiss and wear certain kinds of clothes.

And yes that does put me at a disadvantage. But I’m very happy with the work that I’m getting. After Dor I’m being taken seriously as an actress. ”

Last year she had a patch of rough whether when Salaam-e-Ishq and No Smoking bombed. “Everyone kept asking why I reappeared in No Smoking in a double role.

A buzz was doing the round that Salman Khan had charged  producerVivek Galani a

 whooping sum of Rs 35 crore for Veer! Well, to give you a background, Veer is director Anil Sharma’s (of Apne fame) next venture and will be written by none other than Sallu boy himself. Now considering he is acting as well as writing, the sum isn’t unthinkable. And the same bee that buzzed about Salman’s amount buzzed noisily that Anil himself has charged Rs 7 crore. This would mean that the producers would be spending 42 crore on just Salman and Sharma!
But on asking, Sharma gets defensive, “Not at all. Our scripting has just been finished. Salman and I have worked day and night in getting it perfect. But it’s way too early to discuss the final figures yet,” he said. Yet, it’s tough to believe that. Salman being Salman would not write an entire script without

Seems like Bollywood Actor Shahid Kapur / Kapoor pays tribute to his favourite actor Aamir Khan by playing a teacher who helps a group aof troubled young students in his

new movie Paathshaala.
The similarities between Bollywood film Taare Zameen Par and this film are striking.

Choreographer-turned-producer and Shahid’s close friend Ahmed Khan doesn’t deny the fact that Taare Zameen Par has made a huge difference to the way we look at movie entertainment and at the parent-child relationship.

‘I would happily admit that Paathshaala is inspired by Taare Zameen Par, except for the fact that ‘Paathshala’ was conceived and written a year ago. It’s about a sensitive teacher’s interaction with a group of kids,’ said Ahmed.

Recently Kareena Kapoor unveiled the latest issue of Filmfare, at an event that featured the undisputed Queen of Bollywood on its cover. Kareena was also found sporting a huge diamond solitaire on her left hand, which led to a lot of speculation of her engagement to Saif Ali Khan amongst a section of the media.

But a friend close to her clarifies “Bebo always had the ring and had been wearing it for some time now. And Kareena is in the best phase of her career and has exciting projects on hand. And she has no intention of getting married for the next five years. Both Saif and Kareena are enjoying and focusing on their respective career and have no intention of settling soon.”
Kareena is considered as the undisputed claimant for the mantle of numero uno Actress in Bollywood with her slew of her forthcoming films like Tashan with Yash Raj, Agent Vinod, Golmaal Returns, Kambakt Ishq, film with John Abraham and a film with Karan Johar, etc.
