Sneha Ullal looks like Aishwarya Rai, doesn’t she?
You have been compared with Aishwarya Rai. What would you like to say?
Earlier I used to get angry a lot but now I am used to it. I don't think it's a nice thing. Not for me, for me it's a very good thing because I have been compared to the Indian beauty. But I think she will feel very insulted. That's why I feel that it should be stopped.
Hollywood can only see Ash ,Bips Sad..needs a screentest
Bollywood's dusky beauty Bipasha Basu has carved a niche for herself in Hindi cinema and says she has no intentions of going to Hollywood because filmmakers there are familiar with only one Indian actor - Aishwarya Rai.
'No filmmakers of Hollywood are willing to sign any Bollywood actor without a screen test apart from Aishwarya. They seem to know no Hindi film actors, not even Amitabh Bachchan,' Bipasha told IANS.
'I got a chance to go there, but I found out that I will have start again from scratch like screen tests and other tantrums. They treat you like a newcomer. So I decided to stay in Mumbai and be the 'queen' here,' said the actress who was in town to promote Bachna Ae Haseeno.
Talking about the film with newcomer Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha said she signed on because she hadn't done a romantic movie for quite some time.
'I haven't done an out-an-out romantic film for a long time so when I heard the script of this film, I found it a little fresh.
'I play Radhika, who comes all the way from Ranchi to Mumbai to become an actor. But she ends up being a member of (choreographer) Shiamak Davar's dance troupe.'
Bipasha doesn't seem to mind sharing screen space with two other actresses - Minissha Lamba and Deepika Padukone in the film.
'I am okay with even a 10-minute role provided I get an apt character and my share of attention on screen. Anyway, if you are a Bollywood heroine, you have very limited choice. I was intelligent enough to realise it long back and hence am picking up roles that look good on-screen,' she said.
Alisha Chinai speaks her mind
After giving super hits like Kajra re and It's rocking, playback singer Alisha Chinai has spoke her mind.
"Playback singers always get relegated to the sidelines. They continue to be underdogs of the music industry. We really need to be paid. I've been fighting for 10 years," reacted the disheartened Alisha.
"I've always maintained a parallel music career outside the movies. In the movies, they think they're doing me a favour. An average film star gets Rs20 million (Dh2 million), and a playback singer gets Rs20,000 to 25,000 (Dh2,000 to 2,500). Even when a song like Kajra re becomes a runaway hit, I don't benefit. We’re paid the pits."
The invention of music director Bappi Lahiri , Alisha initially sang disco numbers in films like Dance Dance, Commando, Guru and Love Love Love. In 1996, she recorded the hit album Made in India.
Last year she released another non-film album, and one of the tracks, Shut up and kiss me had formed a whisk. But Alisha says: "It was a very audacious and upfront song. I'm glad people saw it with a sense of humor. It was sexy, but not gross. So there were no raised eyebrows."
Few years back, Alisha had formed a disagreement with the song Sexy, sexy for Karisma Kapoor in Khuddar. The words had to be changed to mollify the moralists.
A great believer in astrology Alisha said, "My astrologer had predicted that the end of my bad phase would start with Kajra re. That song resurrected my career, thanks to Aishwarya Rai who looked awesome. To be honest, I enjoy the thought of singing for Aishwarya, Kareena Kapoor and Vidya Balan.
Saif Ali Khan in forefront of SRK in terms of Endorsement
Saif Ali Khan is ahead of Bollywood King, Shahrukh Khan at the endorsement game. In the AdEx Survey, prepared by TAM Media Research, TV ads featuring Saif Ali Khan appeared for around 45 lakh seconds last year, while Shahrukh Khan was lagging behind with 42 lakh seconds and Amitabh Bachchan was third with 32 lakh.
Astoundingly cricket heroes lagged behind with only Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni figuring in the list of 10 most perceptible celebrities in TV ads.
Hrithik Roshan came at the fourth position in the ad visibility list, while Kajol became the highest rank women at the fifth position. Preity Zinta, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Juhi Chawla rounded off the top 10.
Juhi Chawla beat off competition from current stars like Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu and Kareena Kapoor.
Nevertheless, Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan continue to endorse the largest number of brands. In 2007, King Khan marched ahead with 39 brands while Big B was brand ambassador for 36 brands.
