Why does Bipasha carry a hammer in her purse?

bipasa

Farah Khan's new chat show on Star Plus is hotting up with Bipasha Basu, Shilpa Shetty, Priyanka Chopra and Olympic boxing champion Vijender Singh joining the celebrity guest list.

The show will see stars donating items for an auction. Shilpa's donation were a torch that does not run on batteries and an autographed Rajasthan Royals ball while Bipasha's contribution was her favourite training shoes.

Bipasha revealed her safety secrets on the show. In her earlier days in Mumbai, the actress used to keep a hatoda (hammer) in her purse to protect herself from all danger.

"I used to carry a huge bag," she said. "In it was a pillow and a hammer. After late night rehearsals and fashion shows, I would tell the taxi driver to drop me at my paying guest accommodation at Bandra. I'm geographically challenged... I don't have a very good road sense so I'd get into the cab, take out my pillow and go to sleep. And thankfully, I never got a chance to use the hatoda."

To which Farah quips, "How sad. Achha agar hypothetically tumhe hathoda kissi pe maarna hota, to tum kahan pe maarti use?

Bipasha quickly retorts, "Upar aur neeche (and laughs)!"

Shekhar Kapur unplugged

Shekhar Kapur on the set of :en:Elizabeth: The...

Image via Wikipedia

India’s Got Talent got over this week. It revealed to us, the sensational group Prince, and the emotional judge Shekhar Kapur. Catch the world-class director on record@café

You burst into tears once as a judge on India’s Got Talent. What sparked it?
It wasn’t sympathy for sure. I was touched by that group’s (Prince Dance Group) performance. They did a splendid job with bhangra and they were all handicapped. To perform it that well, you need something inside you, apart from talent. That moved me to tears.

But one didn’t quite see you getting sharp tongued.
It wasn’t needed. I could politely put things across to contestants instead of rudely rubbing it in. And I did that to so many who did weird things in the name of talent.

Your blogs are quite popular. The one on Heath Ledger got a tremendous response.
It was an unexpected response. People were affected despite not knowing Heath Ledger in person. Some people, who’d never met him or maybe had just managed to see one film of his, left such heart-rending notes for him.

I knew Heath personally and I was taken aback with his death. I didn’t see it coming. He got nominated for Oscars and how many people alive have that kind of following when they’re gone.

Why do you think Mr India has never happened for you in Hollywood?
I would have loved to have a Mr India there. Once, a popular studio was making Alice in Wonderland. Tim Burton and I were in the running to direct it.

They obviously chose him. I almost directed another Hollywood movie too. I also know what went wrong with Four Feathers. The studio wanted me to make an adventure. I suppose I couldn’t sell them the idea correctly. I wanted them to get over their politics.

What’s the status of the Mr India sequel?
I know the story. It’s modern and exciting. I’ve written it but I want someone else to direct it. I’ve always wanted to see someone else direct it with as much passion as I did. And I didn’t see that happening in all these years. I think Koi Mil Gaya was close but Mr India was completely unabashed.

It didn’t have a mother’s part and the question asked to me was how could the hero not have a mother. We shot the whole movie and then came up with Mogambo. There’s a difference between fantasy and farce. That’s why I had the little girl dying. The scene where she was in a coffin had upset a lot of mothers and it was nasty of me to have that scene.
That kid wouldn’t lie in the coffin. I had to plead her mother to help us. She did and what a pristine look she had when she lay in the coffin, she looked dead. All the kids actually cried in that scene.

We’ve been hearing about Paani for so long. What’s happening to it?
You can’t conjure up art. You need to have something running inside you. I was excited when I was doing Mr India. Today, I feel very strongly about the state of our environment and society. Paani will be about injustice though it will be dramatic. I don’t seem to be able to lock that script. That happens when you’re too passionate about the subject.

In Masoom, Naseeruddin Shah modelled himself on you, right?
It’s difficult to write characters. Caricatures like Mogambo are easy but when you sit down to write two lines about yourself, it doesn’t come to you. When I offered Bandit Queen to Seema Biswas, a popular stage actress, she could write lovely lines about Phoolan Devi but she couldn’t write anything about herself.

Naseer modelled himself on me because he would often see Mr Malhotra in me. He even wore my clothes. 

Very little is known about your family.
My dad is a doctor and mum is a journalist. Dev, Vijay and Chetan Anand are my maternal uncles. I was born in Lahore. The Anands moved from Gurudaspur to Lahore. Chetan Anand was an ICES officer then. After partition, we all shifted to Delhi. Dev Anand was employed at a post-office in Mumbai.

http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/NCW-sets-up-NRI-cell-to-address-plight-of-abandoned-wives/507941/

New Delhi Seeking to address the plight of abandoned wives of NRI husbands, the National Commission for Women (NCW) on Thursday launched a special cell to receive and process complaints related to Indian women deserted by their overseas spouses.

The new cell will be the coordinating agency to receive and process all complaints related to Indian women deserted by their NRI husbands, NCW Chairperson Girija Vyas said while launching the cell.

The NRI cell will render all possible assistance to the complainants including conciliation, mediation between the parties and advising the complainant on related issues.

It would also work towards associating, networking with NGOs, community organisations in India and abroad and state women commissions for wider area coverage so as to facilitate easy reach and provide support services.

Vyas said out of 10 NRI marriages, two result in the wife being abandoned after honeymoon.

"Through the cell, we would also speak to all Indian missions abroad so that they maintain a register of Indian married couples in their country and check on them from time to time.

"We are also trying to rope in local association and NGOs to help women who run into trouble in those countries," she said.

The NCW was nominated the coordinating agency at the national level for dealing with issues pertaining NRI marriages by the Ministry of Overseas Indian affairs based on the recommendation of the Parliamentary committee on Empowerment of Women.

The special NRI cell would also encourage, support research and study in the related fields like issues of grievances associated with dual citizenship, enactment of new legislation or signing of international treaties and marriage laws of other countries.

There would also be a panel of experts to assist the aggrieved wife and rendering legal services and other assistance, including mediation and conciliation.

Image by chispita_666 via Flickr

If you want to play golf without making a big hole in your pocket, Chandigarh is the right place for you.

In an effort to promote "golf tourism" in and around this city, the Chandigarh Industrial and Tourism Development Corporation Limited (CITCO) has joined hands with leading golf clubs of the region to allow golf lovers to use all the facilities at these clubs, normally not available to non-members.

At the same time, they can enjoy beautiful locales of Chandigarh and surrounding areas with their families.

"CITCO has tied up with three leading golf clubs of the region. Now tourists just need to pay the hotel tariffs and they can enjoy all golfing facilities at these clubs. We have many lucrative packages to attract more tourists," CITCO managing director D.K. Tiwari told IANS.

CITCO runs three hotels in Chandigarh, including the five-star Mountview. The agreement is with the Chandigarh Golf Club (CGC), the Chandigarh Golf Association (CGA) and the Panchkula Golf Club.

The package includes a complementary visit to Chandigarh from Delhi by Shatabdi Express train or a luxury bus, pick up/drop at the Chandigarh railway station and local conveyance from the hotel to the golf club

Don't come fishing for account details: Swiss banks to India

Swiss National Bank headquarters in Berne

Image via Wikipedia

Swiss banks may have turned over client details to the US, but they have said India is not welcome there on a name-fishing expedition.

"Swiss law and even OECD's Model Tax Convention do not permit fishing expeditions, in other words, the indiscriminate trawling through bank accounts in the hope of finding something interesting.

"This means that India cannot simply throw its telephone book at Switzerland and ask if any of these people have a bank account here," a top official at Swiss Bankers Association told PTI from Basel.

The secrecy shield provided by Swiss banks have always been a big issue in India, including during the campaign for
this year's general elections, and the government recently said that it has approached Switzerland seeking details about
bank accounts held by Indians there.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee recently informed Parliament that the government was committed to unearthing
black money within and outside the country.

"Swiss authorities, I am told, have agreed for negotiations (on the issue)... We have already taken it (the
issue of black money) not only with Swiss authorities but other nations as well," Mukherjee said.

Last week, the US reached an agreement with Switzerland, under which top Swiss bank UBS AG turned over details of 4,450 secret accounts to the Internal Revenue Service.

Asked how would India's request be handled, especially in the backdrop of the UBS settlement, SBA's Head of International Communications James Nason said that "the key for the exchange of information in tax matters is the Double Taxation Agreement between Switzerland and India."

The official noted that the Swiss bank-client confidentiality has never been 100 per cent absolute and Swiss legislators have built in provisions for it to be lifted during criminal investigations and also in many civil cases and it has also evolved over time.

SBA, however, asserted that the basic principles remain intact even following the recent agreement with the US and "the privacy of bank clients innocent of any wrongdoing remains protected and privacy remains the natural state of affairs."

"No one -- not even the Swiss tax authorities -- has an automatic right of forced entry into a client's bank account without first satisfying the requirements and conditions stipulated by Swiss law."

Switzerland has Double Taxation Agreement with over 70 countries including India. "There have long been well- established legal procedures under which Switzerland provides international legal assistance in criminal cases and in tax matters and any country may lodge a request for such assistance through the official channels," Nason said.

SBA noted that exchange of information on tax matters takes place under the terms of the Double Taxation Agreement and these are being "currently revised to incorporate the OECD standard on the exchange of information in tax matters according to the OECD's own Model Tax Convention".

F*** buddies — the new trend

http://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle-news/relationships/F-buddies-the-new-trend/Article1-444595.aspx

Hey rockstar, what’s up? What’s the plan for the night?” “Dude I am busy with my FB. Will call back in 20 (minutes) and plan it out.”

Well, that was the conversation I had with a friend. ‘FB’ is keeping our city’s socially-forward denizens busy. Now before you start assuming ‘FB’ is Facebook, let me correct you that it isn’t. ‘FB’ is that ‘dirty’ four-letter word that your mama asked you never to utter and starts with ‘F’ and is prefixed before Buddy. I am sure you got it! It’s the raging trend of no-strings-attached casual sex. Though the notion’s not new, the currency that it’s gained in Delhi is. As universal as lust itself, it’s accessible to all, from Facebookers to baby boomers. It is free love without even the pretense of all those soppy emotions.

The poshest ladies of the cocktail circuit to the workaholic builders and bankers, the seemingly naïve college girls and chickster business management students to the staid homemakers and money-minting heart surgeons, having an FB is sort of the latest social trend.

It did not take me much to discover the trend. All it took me was a few afternoons with lunching ladies to find out that Mrs Taneja’s FB is her fitness trainer while Mrs Puri prefers a struggling painter. A Boys Night Out was enough to fill me in on all the goss as to which industrialist has the hottest FB and which restaurateur is with the wannabe socialite as his. Seriously, the more FBs I discovered, the more I realised that if I were to make a ‘Sex and the City’ stuff on Delhi, it would be a helluva scandalising one.

Recently I asked a friend who has a hot FB about how he hooked-up with her. He said, “It sounds creepy, but we do Facebook stalking. And people use the poke thing for people they fancy. The poke thing is the electronic equivalent of a tap on the shoulder in a lounge. Relationship status are subtle revelations, like ‘it’s complicated’.”

He added, “When asked what you’re looking for, you can keep it equally fluid by answering ‘random play’ or ‘whatever I can get’.” I realised how the digital age has created a technosexual generation hooked on to no-strings casual sex.

“Casual is cosy, it’s safe and it’s not going to complicate your life,” said a liberated divorcee. She’s hooking up with a colleague and explained, “I went to meet him with the idea of swapping ideas, not body fluids. We’re colleagues and thought we could stimulate some creative juices — and stimulating juices is exactly what happened!”

There’s no way she would take it any further, but for the time being this stopgap sex suits them both. Many women’s magazines present the idea that casual sex is an empowering trend. It’s been made into a lifestyle issue and we all know how Delhiwallahs must adopt it!

Kings XI Punjab co-owners Ness Wadia and Mohit Burman must be roaming with a livid black eye in South Africa.

Bollywood's dimpled beauty Preity Zinta's rumoured ex beau and business partner Ness Wadia and fellow partner Mohit Burman were beaten black and blue in South Africa.

While the Punjab XI team was beating Hyderabad in Johannesburg on Sunday, co-owners of the team were being thrashed in the VIP box by the police and private security staff of an influential South African industrialist.

A little birdie tells us that drunk Mohit kept butting a lady spectator with a flagpole. This lady turned out to be the daughter-in-law of Ajay Gupta, owner of one of South Africa’s biggest conglomerates, the Sahara Group and a friend of the new South African President Jacob Zuma. The lady in question did not lose any time and called in her guards.

IPL chairman Lalit Modi who knows Ajay Gupta well, has sorted out the matter between both the parties.

Stories of Preity and Ness spilt are doing the rounds since quite some time now. We wonder if this escapade will add to their differences! Either god knows or may be our gossip birdie does.

Dead Playboy model Jasmine Fiore identified by her breast implants

jasminefiore_jenkins

Jasmine Fiore, a former Playboy model who was found dead in a suitcase with her fingers and teeth removed, has been indentified by her breast implants.

Investigators in California said Jasmine Fiore, 28, was identified using the serial number from her implants because detectives could not use fingerprints or dental records.

The US authorities are hunting for Ryan Alexander Jenkins her boyfriend, a reality TV contestant, who on Thursday was charged with her murder.

Miss Fiore had her fingers and teeth "forcibly removed", prosecutors said.

Mr Jenkins, 32, is thought to have slipped into Canada after driving and power-boating more than 1,000 miles from southern California after the corpse of Miss Fiore was found in a suitcase dumped in a rubbish bin in Los Angeles on Saturday.

"The victim had been badly beaten, all of her fingers had been cut off, and all of her teeth had been forcibly removed," said a statement from the California prosecutors.

Canada said its security forces were looking for Mr Jenkins.

Police believe Mr Jenkins reported her missing on Saturday night – after her body had been found - and then disappeared when detectives said they wanted to talk to him.

jasmine_fiore

Mr Jenkins was a contestant on the VH1 reality show Megan Wants a Millionaire, a US television show in which men with a net worth of at least $1 million vie to win a woman seeking to become a "trophy wife". He is variously described as an architect, property developer and investment banker.

Sexy is about being full-bodied: Vidya Balan

vidya1

Actors are known to go the distance for their roles, but Vidya Balan insists that she has lost all that weight only for herself. “My conscience was screaming at me. I had become a little lax, and thought it was high time...” says the actress who may have burnt the fat, but has managed to preserve those curves. “So I got myself a trainer and visited a dietician!” she revealed, “I told them ‘get rid of the excess, not the essentials!’ I didn’t want to become lanky, you know...”
So here she is, feeling lighter and oomphier, all thanks to four-five days of exercise per week, and a good, nutritional diet. “I was made to realise that working out wasn’t so much about weight loss than it was about fitness,” says Vidya, who has shimmered her way to sexy at last. She isn’t a follower of the ‘in-thing’, power yoga, and visits to the gym she considers ‘boring’. “My workouts require no equipments, nor am I on any traditional cardio activity,” explains the actress, “It’s just free-weights and what they call ‘body calisthenics’ for me.”
Having disposed off - apart from the weight - some expensive designer wear from her wardrobe, one would think that the vacant space now houses the likes of spaghetti tops, sexy halters, minis... “I may have lost weight, but little has changed,” confesses Vidya, “I still love Indian outfits; So no, I haven’t gone berserk shopping for those halters. I’ve instead indulged in the usual: jeans, white kurtas, tracks...”
