Deepika Padukone very candid on the Kapoor family
When Deepika Padukone met her idol, Rishi Kapoor not as a fan but Rishi's son's girlfriend she was flabbergasted and said "It's amazing. But in his younger days my dad (badminton champ Prakash Padukone) was often told that he resembled Rishi Uncle. I grew up as his big fan, have seen Karz and Kabhi Kabhie number of times. When Ranbir took me to meet his parents, I was re-living my childhood images of the most compatible couple I've ever seen on screen."
Even the Kapoors has welcomed their would be daughter in law that’s why Deepika feels "Rishi Uncle is so warm. As for Neetu Aunty, she has an aura of natural grace and charm about her. She's very poised and articulate. I've met her more than I've met Uncle. Me and Rishi uncle are going to be working toge
ther. We had a reading together recently. He's so passionate about cinema. I've so much to learn from him."
Deepika cannot go on without appreciating the Kapoors, she has lot of regard to both of them which is apparent from her statement which says "Both Ranbir and his sister Ridhima have been brought up with the right values. They come from such an illustrious family. And yet they're so down-to-earth. I see many similarities between their upbringing and mine. Though both Ranbir and I were exposed to celebrity situations from childhood, our parents have made sure we're firmly rooted to reality."
When asked about their marriage, Deepika expressed that “we're both very comfortable in our relationship. Now that we've come out in the open about our relationship, our parents are very happy. Beyond that it's too early to talk about marriage."
About her affair with Yuvraj and on the impressionable comment made by Yuvraj, Deepika says confidently that "I really don't think she said anything against me. If she had a grudge she'd call me up and talk to me. I always say that no outside source can know what kind of a relationship two people share. I spoke to her after the statements attributed to her came out. I've always shared a fantastic rapport with her. She's a wonderful and strong person. I've learnt a lot from her. As a woman and mother, I look up to Yuvraaj's mother. She's a multi-tasking mother. She has single-handedly brought up her two children. Yuvraaj is doing extremely well for himself. And his younger brother who has just started out is also doing very well himself. I wish the family all the best."
Women’s Day, 8th March , Bollywood Babes talk to us
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.

The force behind Infosys
Before returning to India and setting up his company Infosys, its Chairman Mr. Narayanmurthy worked in Bulgeria. He had a very horrific time during his preceding days of staying there. Civil war cropped up there and Mr. Murthy had to proceed to his homeland. The money he possessed was also limited. He somehow caught a train to Paris. In the train journey he got acquainted with a girl and started conversing with her in French.
Thinking that they were talking against communism, the Communist soldiers on the platform seized and put him into jail. When the soldiers were sure that he is in Indian and thus they allowed to him after 48 hours. Two days of hunger and a long walk on the highway to grab hold of some transport to railways, he learnt his lesson of life.
It was at this time that he decided that not communalism but free enterprise with a flexible bend for ill-fated will resolve the predicament and removal of poverty to an extent.
Homage to Legendary and the Eternal Tragic Queen Madhubala
Homage to the legendary and the eternal tragic queen Madhubala on her Birthday/Death Anniversary in February
Her childhood days
Madhubala is India's Hindi film industry’s, delicate, semi-tragic, mortal survival. She remains a seductress even 35+ year after her demise.
 
Madhubala's father, was Ataullah Khan, a Pathan who had immigrated from the Pakistan. She was born, February 14, 1933, Valentines Day, in the Malad suburb of Bombay. Her birth name was Mumtaz Khan, the third of 11 children. Bombay Talkies studio was located in the Malad suburb where the Bombay Talkies was located. She was interviewed at the age of 8 by DeviKa Rani and Himanshu Rai, for an audition. Having impressed by her performance they put her in the movie Basant. The song was a super hit, after she acted in many films as a child artiste. Â
Under the direction of Kidar Sharma, at the age of 13 Mumtaz was signed as heroine opposite Raj Kumar who done the debue with this movie. It was on this film that producer Devika Rani gave her the name Madhubala, which means, "young maiden made of honey". After that she acted in 17 movies, even when madhubala was not 17.
Madhubala grew within the studio complex. When her friends went to school she gave shooting for the movie, her father was very possessive about her and he doted on her money.Â
Chemistry with Dilip Kumar
She featured with Dilip Kumar in the film Tarana and their off screen affair too started and it is said that this was one of the legendry tragic love affair.
Madhubala and Dilip Kumar were deep in love, but her father opposed. He did not like the affair, as whole her money, property etc. was under his control. Their affair was at that time took to court also as Madhubala’s father did not allow her to go got location shoots with Dilip Kumar. Since her family was totally against the affair, it ended up on a bitter note. Dilip once told about Madhubala that "I love this woman and shall love her till my dying day." The affair though, had come to a bitter end.
Her love affairs
Old stalwarts say that her first director Mr Kidar Sharma, who gave her first break was in deeply love with her, but madhubla never reciprocated, he was a married man too. Later film Mahal was made by Kamal Amrohi, they too had a serious love affair. Film Mahal was a super hit due to their serious affair.Amrohi was again a married man,madhubala told him to divorce his first wife, she even offered him lakhs of rupees for that. But he wanted to be devoted to his first wife. She became heart broken and then left him in sway.Â
Madhubala was proposed by three men, Pradeep Kumar, Bharat Bhushan and Kishor Kumar. She selected Kishor.They had a civil marriage and Kishore converted to Islam and was renamed Karim Abdul . His parents refused to attend the wedding and never really accepted Madhubala as they thought she had broken their son’s marriage. When Madhubala went to touch her father in law’s feet they moved away.Â
 Â
She moved back to her bungalow because her inlaws were torturing her. Madhubala realised that she had made a mistake in marrying Kishore; who was ineffective and parsimonious. What a catastrophe!!Â
The Screen divinity
She is considered the most beautiful woman to have ever appeared on the Indian film screen. Her untimely death and tragic romance with Dilip Kumar has superior her to legendary significance. Many journalists have claimed that Madhubala was very immoral, and obsessed many lovers. May be it is the thoughts of these journalists’ conjecture. Madhubala was lively and flirtatious, yet this is no proof of carelessness.
