Mumbai, June 10 (PTI) Veteran actor Dilip Prabhavalkar, who won the national award for best supporting actor for his portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi in “Lage Raho Munnabhai”, says the role that helped revive Gandhian philosophy among youths has been his toughest till date.
“I have won several awards in the past. But this one is precious as I am getting it for a performance which has been the toughest so far. My role made Gandhi lovable and acceptable to the youth,” Prabhavalkar told PTI here today.
He said the credit goes to Rajkumar Hirani for creating and conceiving Bapu in such a manner that the present-day world can identify with.
Prabhavalkar said his supporting act in the Marathi film “Shevri” was a unique role and was happy that it had been recognised.
Madhur Bhandarkar, who bagged the national award for best direction for “Traffic Signal”, described recognition as announcement as a “great moment”.
“It is because of the jury, critics and audiences who have encouraged my kind of cinema that I am being able to continue making movies,” he said, adding his next film “Fashion”, starring Priyanka Chopra, will release in November. PTI

Another wonder baby born in India.She has two faces!
Villagers are queuing outside Lali’s house to get a foretaste of the “Goddess”, baby Lali, a 24-day-old baby girl in Saini village near Noida. She is all set out to be rather a mob puller.
This wonder baby was born on March 11 to a Dalit family in a private hospital in Noida, the newborn has four eyes and two mouths. The infant with two faces is, however, unwavering and in good physical shape. In fact, despite the deformity, the child and her mother Sushma were discharged just the next day of the delivery.
“The baby’s delivery was normal and we felt there was no need to keep them in the hospital for further tests. But Lali’s mother had not come to us during her pregnancy,” stated Dr Archana of Saifi Hospital.
The child’s father, Vinod Singh, alleged, “We were shocked to see the baby. The doctor assured us that Lali would be a normal child in every other way. During her pregnancy, my wife was never ill and we never felt the need to consult a doctor.”
Lali’s is the first child of Sushma and Vinod, who got married in February 2007. “Initially we had some problem in accepting the child but now everything is fine. She is just like any other child,” believed the befuddled Sushma.
Older members in Saini Village uphold the child possesses celestial powers. “God has made her like this and we are lucky to be her parents,” assumed Brahm Singh, the grandfather, a daily wager in the Indian Railways.

- Anwesha Duttagupta, the contestant in Chhote Ustaad from Kolkata has won many hearts through her soulful singing. Even after coming in the scaryland repeatedly, this girl made sure to make it to the finals through her talent. She won the hearts of everyone on the show with her sweet smile and her melodious singing. A very down to earth girl she is sure to create waves in the music industry is what most music lovers feel.
- How has your journey been through Chhote Ustaad?
- It has been a great experience. I have learnt a lot apart from the competition. And I enjoyed a lot with all my friends. And most importantly, I got to learn a lot from two very important people Anand Sharma and Anuj Kapoor, who help us train and give us a lot of technical tips.
- How do you feel reaching the finals?
- I am quite excited about being in the finals. I am workinhg really hard and we will try and give our best so that the finale is a rocking show.
- Were you sure of coming this far?
- I wouldn’t say that I was over-confident of making it big here, at the same time I was sure that I had it in me to move on in the competition. My mother had always told me to take it one step at a time. And that’s what I did, I started out slowly by thinking that I just hope I reach the top 11 first. Doing so, I have finally reached the finals.
- How are you preparing for the finals?
- Preparation is going on pretty strong. We are concentrating a lot more on the performance and our singing. Along with the tension of being in the finals, there is also a lot of excitement. We are working very hard to make sure the finale is a good show.
- Among the three judges, who is ur favorite?
- All three of them are equally nice. They have all been very caring towards us throughout the competition. They have always made their decisions unanimously and their comments usually don’t vary. All three are the best in their own style and genre.
- In the usual format of such shows except for the finals, all the ronds are done in the studio. How do you feel going through this changed format? Which format do you feel is better?
- Well when it is a live performance, we have to practice a lot more than for a recorded performance. There is a lot of stress and tension associated with a live performance. In fact I was present for the grand finale of Star Voice of India and I saw that there were a lot of rehearsals held. I have never thought on the lines of which format is better. Both the formats are good in their own way.
- Who among you two have the best chance to win?
- Umm… what can I say about that? Both of us are working very hard and will give our best. Winning or losing is a part of any competition. All I can say is that after coming to this platform, we have received equal adulation and blessings and I don’t think winning or losing really matters, after reaching to this level.
- Any incident that touched you and you would be taking with you after the show gets over?
- Yeah I do have a special memory. When the Star Voice of India finale was going on, Lata Mangeshkar had come as the celebrity judge on the show and I was quite excited to meet her. I went up to her and received her blessings too.
- Future plans after this show?
- After Chhote Ustaad, I hope to become a successful playback singer. Hopefully as I grow I become a versatile singer, that’s all is what I wish for.
- Actresses you would love to do playback singing for?
- I would like to do playback singing for all the actresses.

In continuation of the previous post of Chotte Ustad
There is no second judgment that Anwesha is the unsurpassed candidate for the Chotte Ustad title. Howsoever, even Star Plus is bountiful by giving more exposure for Aishwariya, the end result has to be that Anwesha of Kolkatta will bag the crown. Her code number is 9 for the voting lines, which itself is a unambiguous clue that she is the obvious winner, as numerologically 9 is a very powerful number compared to 11 of Aishwsariya. The precise talent, correct aptitude, flair, endowment and above all, the right contestant has to win ,and that is Anwesha.
The pre-eminent and the most greatest part I like about Anwesha is that all along with persuasive and credible singing, she possess down to earth intrinsic worth, a quality which is personified in her body language, perhaps she got it genetically from her mother who always keeps a optimistic, buoyant and positive smiling face even when Aishwariya is being praised ;dissimilar to Aishwairya’s mother who makes unconcerned and undaunted facial expressions when Anwesha is praised. What I mean to communicate is that Anwesha’s naive and raw qualities are too personified in her singing capabilities. I am stressing the point again that Anwesha is the best gifted sweet melodious singer and so please help her win the title.

Are you right now wondering, what are the health problems causing bad breath in your case?
The answers are numerous, as there are many health problems that can actually cause halitosis as a secondary symptom. Obviously only your doctor can give you an accurate diagnosis, but there are some common conditions we can consider here. What Are the Health Problem From Inside the Mouth? It may surprise you to learn that not all bad breath problems originate in the mouth. Some come from the stomach, the digestive system, or elsewhere. But when it comes to the inside of your mouth, health problems might include gum disease or periodontitis, which is a weakening of the bones underneath the teeth. This weakening comes from excessive bacteria in the mouth and may be the result of poor oral hygiene. So, when considering just what are the health problems causing bad breath from inside the mouth, keep in mind that many of them are related to poor oral hygiene. One of the best things you can do to keep your mouth healthy is to maintain proper oral hygiene habits. What Are the Health Problems From Other Areas? Many digestive problems are connected with bad breath. Having problems with your digestion sends acid and other elements up from the digestive tract and back through the throat, causing you bad breath. Eating foods that are hard to digest, such as red meat and dairy, can give you an unhealthy digestive system and halitosis. These foods can also allow bacteria to build up in the digestive tract; anything that gives you digestive problems such as constipation or excessive bloating and gas is likely to also give you bad breath.

The world is a global marketplace and where once India was faced with watching Hollywood reruns, Bollywood is now one of the largest most powerful motion picture production facilities in the world.
Statistics: 1000 Hindi-language films are produced every year. Ticket sales exceed 3.6 billion.
Hollywood has its stars, so too does Bollywood and while the world’s tabloids may focus on Britney Spears, Yana Gupta and Abhay Deol are not far behind with a relationship that was secret, but now has been made public.
Randeep Hooda and Sushmita Sen are rumored to be having secret meetings on horseback, but the rumors were denied… “Where do you hear all this? Its complete rubbish,” laughs Sushmita. Aishwarya Rai has no intentions of quitting movies simply because she is married; and is paired with Gerard Depardieu in the film Asterix at the Olympic Games.
