All are aware that Bollywood heartthrob Salman Khan has proposed marriage to Katrina Kaif twice over the past two years. But this New Year’s Eve is said to have been quite different for this hot couple!
Bestdesi.com got the news through a common friend that all through December, Salman was in a contemplative mood about his love affair. He confessed to this friend that while his colleagues Shah Rukh and Hrithik were extremely happy with their wives and children, his own life was not going anywhere.
But unknown to many, Salman this time, set the stage for what appears to be the most romantic proposal of the year! Since the entire Khan family headed for their farm in Panvel to celebrate New Year, Salman quietly said he would drive down with Katrina. And according to the grapevine, just before they touched the farm at Panvel, Salman stopped the car and, under the stars, seriously proposed her.
Whether she has said the big ‘YES’ or not remains to be seen. But Salman has apparently returned in a jubilant mood. His friend tells us that Salman regrets the earlier two proposals he made to Katrina, for they were in view of others, which is said to have humiliated her.
Also, Khan is now willing to give her a free harness on her professional decisions. In keeping with the freedom his family has allowed to all women to work and be on their own, apparently Salman has realized that he cannot stop Katrina from following her dreams.
All that’s in his mind is that he does not want to lose this woman whom he loves so much. As for seeing them together on screen, Salman and Katrina will next appear in Subhash Ghai’s romantic Main Yuvraj, the shooting of which is already underway.

Top songs
Last year’s top song was definitely Beedi Jalai Le. Its trendy folk-flavour floored everyone in 2006. This year, Chak De India’s anthem was by far the best song of the year. The singer Sukhvinder Singh, who also had a major role in Beedi’s success, has thus received top of the year honors twice.
Remixes
The painful glut of remixes has slowed down, though not stopped entirely. Now, composers include remixed versions on the original albums before anyone else has a chance to manipulate the tunes. In short, this trend is a lesser of the two evils.
Top 10 Songs
Amidst largely similar-sounding songs, a few songs made a difference.

Chak De
(Chak De India) Sukhvinder Singh
-
Aankhon Mein Teri

Jabse Tere Naina
(Saawariya) Shaan

Top 5 Albums of the year

2. Life In A Metro by Pritam
3. Saawariya by Monty Sharma
4. Om Shanti Om by Vishal-Shekhar
5. Delhi Heights by Rabbi Shergil
ARTISTE’S CHOICE
- Shankar Mahadevan
“I think our work, as composers,in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (he was a part of the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composer-trio for JBJ) was appreciated, even though the film did not do well at the box-office. As a singer, I enjoyed singing its title song. I am happy to explore different music genres on different soundtracks.”
- Shreya Ghoshal
“Luckily, this year I managed to sing quite a few good songs such as the title song of Cheeni Kum, the slow version of Tara Rum Pum, the item number Yeh Ishq Haaye and the semi-classical Chhand Re. In Khoya Khoya Chaand, I enjoyed singing Thirak Thirak, a duet with Sonu Nigam, where I received specific instructions not to go overboard. I also sang Chale Aao Sainya, which was a good classical number.”
- Shaan
“I loved the title-songs of Johnny Gaddar, Aankhon Mein Teri, Om Shanti Om and the romantic duet – Bol Na Halke from Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. Among my own efforts, I liked Jabse Tere Naina from Saawariya and Yeh Pyar Kya Hai – the romantic ballad from Marigold.”

Are any of my vital organs seen?
Kangana Ranaut merely doesn’t fear about what people have to say about her picture on the cover of a film magazine. Seen in a body suit, Kangana’s picture is attached to by a headline that screams: Naked truth exposed!
Kangana’s so-called nude appearance has arrested a lot of attention. The actress, however, is unfazed. She says, “What’s the big deal about the picture? Are any of my vital organs seen? I haven’t posed nude at all. These days one doesn’t need to. Body suits are available readily in the market.”
Kangana fails to understand why so many eyebrows are being evoked? She says, “Why would I be upset? It was for an annual issue and we just tried doing something divergent. In my profession, one has to do different kinds of photo shoots. I fail to understand why such a big deal is made about a normal picture.”
At the recent wedding ceremonial occasion of the Wizcraft MD, Andre’s wedding both Salman Khan and Aishwarya were invitational guests. Nevertheless they never came across eye to eye since rumours allege that Salman make it a bespeak and passes away out of his way to ascertain that he behaves not knock against his passé.
This party comprised no more dissimilar and Sallu bhai made his entry through the back entrance only after the Bachchans had left the building. The word of mouth is that Sallu has his escort keep open a watch and assure whether the Bachchan’s are still there or are they gone, it is only after they have left that he enters.

Mammotty and Mohanlal leave apart teenagers!
(Mammoty and Mohanlal)Malayalam cinema superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal meet head-on desperate times. They have enjoyed box-office domination for over 20 years but those glorious days seem to be past.
All their films in the last two years have flopped forcing Malayalam filmmakers to look for newer, younger heroes.
I think apart from hardcore fans everybody like good movies, whether they are having so called super stars or not.
Mammootty should be a poignant 60 and it may be difficult for the star to continue getting romantic roles. Viewers are tired of seeing these grand papas chasing these young petites, around bushes and tress who look comparable to their grand-daughters A movie reflects values of that society and way of life. Mammooty and Mohanlal need to retire and give the younger guys a chance to showcase their talents. Something must be done to change this .Do a survey-see how fans feel about this.
Sooner or later this whole M&M bandwagon will come to end. The old will be replaced by new ones. And actors like Prithvi, Indrajit and many others will pave their way and should be welcomed to find their forte in the viewers. Whether we like it or not,Mammotty’s and Mohanlal’s restraint are becoming noticeable.
On a second note, malayalam movie makers should stop thinking that M&M are the only ways to make a movie. If not we will see movies like ‘Bus Conductor’ and ‘Maha Samudram’. It is a big question whether this industry will survive after 10yrs from now.
It is time for the Keralites to think something beyond the two MMs. Kerala film industry is blessed many good young actors. It is irony that the movies by young heros becoming the highest grosser of all times in Kerala.
For non-resident malayalees , movies are the only way to keep in touch with the Malayalam language as such. But after seeing and enjoying movies of many action hero Hindi movies, nobody would really be paying attention to the gigantic oversize old mohanlal and mamotty with tiny elusive teenagers. This is the time for change, hence bye bye oldie superstars!

*Most admired game show
- Kaun Banega Crorepati(KBC) is an Indian game show. It was one of India’ most popular game TV shows. This game show is the only kind proper kind of TRP-sweeping show that TV channels only dreamt about.
**Saif Ali Khan to lit the show
- And guess who is getting the chance to sit on the very hot seat of the erstwhile host Amitabh Bachchan and then the King Khan—its Saif Ali Khan, the famous Bollywood actor.
***The previous shows
- The First two parts (or seasons) were hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. Kaun Banega Crorepati Dwitiya (KBC 2) was also hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. However show was closed by star plus (star network) after the host Amitabh Bachchan fell ill last year.
****How King Khan entered the show
- Later king khan hosted the 3rd part - KBC3. Shah Rukh Khan started his career in 1988 by appearing on various television series such as the war drama series Fauji playing the role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai and other series such as Circus.
- At that time Amitabh Bachchan fans were in for a disappointment but admirers of Shahrukh Khan had rejoiced as he took over from the Big B as host of the hugely popular TV game show “Kaun Banega Crorepatiâ€.
*****The position as of now
- Now if trade circulars are to be believed, Saif Ali Khan will be hosting the new season of the KBC very soon.
- Saif Ali Khan is the son of Bollywood actress, Sharmila Tagore, and Indian cricketeer, Mansoor Ali Khan. Saif Ali Khan has been married to Bollywood actress, Amrita Singh, and has two children, namely daughter Sara Ali Khan, and son Ibrahim Ali Khan. Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh have now separated. Sara and Ibrahim are with their mother, Amrita Singh.
- Saif Ali Khan was of late romantically involved with an Italian girlfriend Rosa. The affair seems to be over with both of them, as currently he is dating Indian Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor. Saif has openly announced that they are a couple now.
- He has a sister by the name of Soha Ali Khan who apparently too is a Bollywood actress.
******Big frustration for the fans of Big B and King Khan
- Well the fans of Saif Ali Khan can welcome him in his new avatar as host of the prominent KBC, butt let us hope he fits into the shoe of Big B and King Khan and also will be able to heighten up the TRP of Star Plus. Amitabh Bachchan fans and King Khan fans are in for a disappointment but admirers of Saif Ali Khan can rejoice as he will take over from King Khan as host of KBC, but of course the fans of the great King Khan will undeniably miss him.
