Poor Adnan Sami, for the last three years he is trying to get Indian citizienship. The singer, a Pakistani national, owns a house in India, has a PAN card, and has now even applied for his marriage at the marriage registrar’s office in Bandra.
The singer-cum-composer is anxious for Indian citizenship and is wearisome the whole lot to get one. Adnan married Dubai-based Sabah Galadari last April and applied for the marriage registration in October. But the marriage is yet to be registered.
This is Adnan’s re-marriage with Sabah. The couple had married in September 2001 and separated in April 2004 after completing divorce proceedings in Dubai.
Adnan was married to Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiar before he married Sabah. He had stated many times before that Zeba was the real love of his life and the motivation behind his new sleuth look is the inspiration of Zeba. Meanwhile, his struggles to acquire Indian citizenship still continue. Initially, he seemed to have got a positive response to his application filed in November 2003. The singer had issued a notice in a newspaper in April 2005 announcing his desire for choosing Indian citizenship. However, it seems that his application is still pending.
Bollywood’s leading ladies say they have never felt mediocre to men and mull over opportunities are escalating for women in the country. On Womens Day today i.e. 8th March,2008 ,BestDesi.com asked Bollywood stars on what they feel being a woman , this is what they opined:
Shilpa Shetty: As a woman I’ve nothing to grumble about. Today when I go abroad I’m proud to symbolize my film fraternity, my gender, my country and myself. I guess I’ve been singularly lucky. I realize there’re so many women in our country who are still aggressive to earn a living. But I think things are varying very fast. Opportunities for women aren’t incomplete any longer.
Hema Malini: I’m proud to be a woman and an Indian. With the prominence that I’ve achieved I’ve no problem getting what I want. But I know it isn’t so with a lot of women in our country. I sympathize with their distress and I do want to work towards getting better their lot. That’s one of the reasons I joined politics.
Ekta Kapoor : Being a woman is no annoyance. Though I won’t say it’s an benefit either in today’s India - at least not in the corporate world. Yet lots of women in rural India are made to believe they’re deprived by their gender. Yes gender bias is fading. I think our inherent advantage as women is that we’re stronger than men even though we’re more perceptive.
Bipasha Basu: The new Indian woman cuts across all age groups and class structures. We acclimatize better to situation because we are not playing by the rules of others. We are flexible and are able to bounce back from every prospect. I know women who go to work, take care of house and home, and be mothers without breaking a step. I don’t know many men who can do that. Somehow we never tire out ourselves as much in the place of work as men do.
Women are there in all types of job stream, teaching, secretatrial work, police, doctor etc.etc. But her job is different. Meet Bhavna Paliwal of New Delhi is, a private detective being hired by Indian brides to investigate about their suitors.
Bhavna Paliwal, is among one of India’s wedding detectives, who are being hired here in growing numbers to dig out out the truth about prospective mates.
In India, hiring a wedding detective like that of Paliwal has become a familiar prenuptial habit, as important as the heavy wedding gold and the multi-cuisine ten-course meal served on plates.
Confidential detectives are in business in India for several years but today their services are more essential than before. As there is a tremendous enhancement in the business class of Delhi, so is the augment of dowries. Those dowries, in turn, have boosted the encouragement for hoax.
Grooms from United States come in haste, marry, then rush back home with the booty, leaving behind what have become known as “abandoned bridesâ€. Meanwhile, in India, young couples who meet over the internet are getting away with lies that gossip would once have exposed.
Anupam Mittal, founder of Shaadi.com, an internet portal that celebrated its millionth match last year says,
This is just a hit and miss list which will confirm practical. Pin it up near your kitchen cabinet so that you can refer to it from time to time.

. Rub potatoes with butter before baking to improve the taste.
To remove the bitter taste of eggplants, soak them in salted water. Then drain and cook as desired.
Lettuce will look fresh, soak in ice water for 30 minutes and adding a little lemon juice to the water.
To slice mushroom in even sizes use an egg slicer .
Add lemon juice or soak onion in cold water before cutting them for salad.
Rub potatoes with butter before baking to improve the taste.
When making potato chips, fry them twice to get a crisp crust.
To keep red cabbage from discolouring while boiling, add a little vinegar to the water.

Pulkit Samrat, who plays Lakshya in the popular soap “Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thiâ€, has accused Ekta kapoor that she had poorly paid and under-utilised and this has bewildered the soap tycoon.
Pulkit has earlier filed a petition in the Bombay High Court against Balaji Telefilms Limited for non-payment and also for a contract that restricted him from working with any other production house for three years. He claims that the case has been won by him.
According to Ektha, “Pulkit seems to have misconstrued what the honorable bench’s verdict. My lawyers know exactly what the court said, and it is not what Pulkit is making it out to be,â€
According to sources in Balajai,Pulkit wanted to give away serials and wanted to work in films. So for that intention, he made some lame excuses on health aspects and hence he could come for 3-4 hours in a day for the shooting. This has disturbed the whole situation as the time table was mismanaged. The whole matter started thereafter. But it is not true that Pulkit has won the case , as the case is still pending in the court. It is understood that he took a break when his track was at its peak in the serial and this has infuriated Balaji camp.
According to reports, Ekta will litigate the newspaper, Mumbai Mirror, for publishing the ambiguous report, which suggested that Pulkit has won the case.
Big B is ensuring that his big kids enjoy a very private life, as he has recently purchased another bungalow near his own old Jalsa for his son and bahu. The main entrance of the new bungalow will be through Jalsa only( sounds like the oldie times tunnel built by the Mughals) which makes it obligatory for the beta and bahu that they see their dad and mom daily via coming out and going in and for the exterior people, they can hallucinate that all the fours live together…got it guys?
For Shahjahan and Mumtaz it was a love at first sight, when in the year 1607 when Prince Khurram/Shahjahan of the royal Mughal household was strolling down Meena Bazaar, along with the courtiers, he wedged a glance of a girl Arjumand/Mumtaz Mahal glancing at glass beads. But Shahjahan’s stepmother Noorjehan wanted Shah Jahan to marry her daughter Ladli Begum from her first marriage. Shah Jahan had great conflict with Empress Noorjehan on this issue, but his revolution against his father Jahangir, in 1622, was fruitless.
Shahjahan, however, ascended the throne on his father’s death in 1627. At his juncture he married his dream girl at a time when Princes never married only for love. Other than Mumtaz, Shah Jahan had two wives and out of them Mumtaz was his true love. She gave birth to 14 out of his 16 children. Mumtaz Mahal obsessed immense supremacy authority and self-respect in her etiquette. Until her death, she was Shah Jahan’s undividable mate and psychoanalyst.
While breathing her last, Mumtaz Mahal took a promise from her beloved to build an structure in reminiscence of their love. This was the cause of work of a monument that still to draw millions of lovers even today.
The monument environment eventually became Sha Jahan’s prison as his son, Aurangzeb, detained the throne and caged his father for the last eight years of his life. Legend maintains that Shah Jahan spent his final years locked in the Agra Fort, gazing from the Jasmine Tower of his marble palace, down the Yamuna River to the Taj Mahal, the tomb of his dearly loved wife.
When Shah Jahan was on his deathbed, his eyes was constantly glancing at Taj Mahal where lied his beloved. After his death, Shah Jahan was buried there beside his dead queen, Mumtaz Mahal. Their love never detached them in life, miseries and ultimately in bereavement. Taj Mahal tantamount with Mumtaz Mahal relics the everlasting gravestone for their never-ending care for each other.
