No cheating tactics for Aishwarya
How she got the dialogues right for 'Raavan' in Tamil
She did it, but without prompting. Aishwarya Rai will be seen in the Hindi as well as Tamil versions of ‘Raavan’ that is releasing Friday, but says she didn't use any prompting for either and relied on memory for her dialogues in both the languages.
"I can't take prompting. First of all, I don't know the art of someone holding a placard and me reading it," Aishwarya, 36, said.
"I tried it once, but it was such a flop because I was in the water and they were holding the placard behind the camera and suddenly Vikram enters the frame and he started acting his bit. Then I had to bank on my memory because Vikram came in front, blocking the placard.
"I don't know how to go with these cheating tactics. So prompting doesn't work. I tried, but it didn't work because of the waterfall. You can't hear a thing. So I literally had to rely on memory," she said.
Aishwarya plays the female protagonist in both versions of Mani Ratnam's much-awaited movie that is titled ‘Raavan’ in Hindi and ‘Raavanan’ in Tamil. For the Hindi version, she has teamed up with southern star Vikram, who plays her husband, and her real life partner Abhishek, who is seen as her tormentor.
Is your Tamil as good as Hindi?
"No, no it was memorising and delivering. But if you keep it in front of me, I would be able to pick it up and do it again," she said.
Asked whether she could give equal energy to both the Tamil and Hindi versions of the film, Aishwarya said: "As an actor I have tried giving as much, if not more, when I am working in the Tamil version because I would not want to be accused of trying to give more to one language than the other. Both were equally important to me as I have genuinely worked on two films."
The former beauty queen says though she and Abhishek don't take their personal relationship to the sets of a movie, their natural chemistry reflects on camera.
"We, of course, separate our personal life in front of the camera. But when Abhishek and me are framed together, you naturally see the connection. Even if it was another Hindi actor, may be you would see a more natural connection than you would see between Vikram and me but that is not because of anything else but probably the familiarity of seeing people together."
Talking about Vikram, she said: "Vikram and I were new to each other. After doing 'Iruvar', a lot of films in the south were offered to me with a lot of different actors, him included. My schedules didn't allow me to do south films. I am doing two films this year, 'Raavan' and 'Endhiran'.
"Vikram is senior to both Abhishek and me in terms of experience. Having said that, what's wonderful about working with Mani is that all the actors who come to the table are literally like students who are working for the first time. So no one got down to recognise anyone's seniority or experience or familiarity or personal relationship like Abhishek and me."
In the Tamil version, Vikram is playing the antagonist Beera, while Prithviraj will be seen as Aishwarya's cop husband.
"Mani would always go with the Hindi version first. The beauty of cinema or experience we already have has built an ability to suddenly transport us into a so-called almost fresh Tamil film. Vikram had brought his best to the fore without this assumption that Abhishek has just done it before him. As he is also playing Dev (her husband) in the Hindi version, Mani never brought these two chapters (Beera in Tamil and Dev in Hindi) at the same time, except one fight scene where Vikram didn't have to switch between Dev and Beera.
"Prithviraj has done a very commendable job as Dev in the Tamil version. Specially because Vikram is a Tamil-speaking actor who has done Hindi, Prithviraj, a Malayalam-speaking actor, has done Tamil; so we have all challenged ourselves beyond the norm and really worked hard to make this film."
But she refused to answer who's better as Beera - Abhishek or Vikram!

Worst 5 Shows on Star Plus
Still not learned from previous lessons, Star Plus still sticks on to the Agony aunty serials. It is high time for Star Plus to withdraw itself from long interminable serials to some General Knowledge quiz and more reality programmes.
Few such serials from which Star Plus should detach itself are:
- Kis Desh Me Hai Mera Dil:
Banned in India to the mid day time, it is still in operation in the Middle East in the prime time. High time Ekta Kapoor and Star Plus, enough has been done away with death, re-incarnation and double marriage. Think of some other alternative to bamboozle viewers. - Raja Ki Ayegi Barat:
Again banned in India to the day time slot, it is shown as a mirthful serial in the Middle East. Again the subject of one marriage, culminating into another marriage, still sticking to the earlier wife, Star Plus should end up the serial with immediate effect. - Bidai:
Having left with no option, the producer thought he will switch over the only one good person in the serial, chotti ma to a vamp to increase the TRP; I don’t think it has made any impact on the viewers, it is the dullest serial, showing a beautiful but poor girl living with a madman who does not know the significance of marriage. - Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata He:
The producer and Star Plus only knows Yeh Rishta Kya kahlatha He. The generation-X teenager does not distinctively identify herself with the main lead of the serial, the main lead is shown as too much timorous and nervous, who believes? - Sach Ka Saamna:
We hope that it will not re-christen again, as it does not suit the Indian culture, our kids are not being born and brought up in the kind of questions being asked by the host; our children may not have heard of anything so much belligerent about the things
Never tell a story because it is true: tell it because it is a good story.

Intro: Isha sherwani
Isha Sharvani an current bollywood actress born sep 29, 1985, Her mother was a Kathak dancer who,was learning under Birju Maharaj while her dad was a Buddhist monk( Austarlian by birth)in Thailand.
For young Isha Sharvani, her career has been waiting to take off in a big way in spite of being in the industry for more than 3 years.After making a high profile debut in Kisna (2005), one would have expected Isha's career to sky rocket. Unfortunately that didn't quite happen with the film flopping miserably at the box office. A few more failed attempts later in the form of Darwaza Bandh Rakho (2006), Rocky - The Rebel (2006) and Good Boy Bad Boy (2007), it has been a forgettable Bollywood outing for Isha so far.However, for the pretty girl, picture abhi baaki hai, because she would be seen in a strong supporting role in upcoming U, Me Aur Hum. Though Isha has played a leading lady in each of her 4 films so far, this would be her first ever outing where someone else (Kajol) would find herself in the spotlight.Still, a hit film is a hit film, regardless of whether an actor is seen in a lead or a supporting role. With U, Me Aur Hum looking good and generating positive vibes
Isha Sherwani is a cutest bollywood actress who made her debut with Kisna. The movies didn,t well at the box office. But most of the people like her acting and her simplicity. These days she has only 1 or 2 movies in her hand. After Kisna She work with Zayed Khan in ROCKY Move, on that move she plays a role of glamorous girl and prove that she can do any roles whether is was a simple or Glamorous role. Am not a big Fan of Isha Sherwani, yes but i still like her coz she is the one of the coolest actress of bollywood.
FEW MOVIES
1. Kisna
2. Good Boy Bad Boy May 11 2007
3. Rocky (2006) Sep 22 2006
4. Darwaza Bandh Rakho
Isha Sherwani selected for Ajit-starrer:
Hindi actress Isha Sherwani has been chosen to play opposite Ajit in “Billa”, the remake of Rajinikanth’s 1980 classic. It is to be directed by Vishnuvardhan. Ananda S. Suresh is producing the film. Ajit dons the role played by Rajinikanth in the original. The blockbuster which brought stardom to Rajinikanth featured two actresses - Praveena and Sripriya - in the lead.
Isha Servani has been chosen as one of the heroines to pair with Ajit. She has earlier acted in the Hindi film “Kisna”. The second heroine is still not been decided. Speculation was that Nayanthara, Trisha and Shreya were vying for a role played by Praveena or Sripriya in the original. There was also talk that Nayanthara might get the role played by Praveena.Expectations are high for Ajit-starrer “Billa” and the question being asked is whether Ajit will be able to match Rajinikanth’s charming performance in the original. The stage has been set to commence work on the 2007 version of the film. .

Drape it like a sarong, save your time.Easy-to-wear sarees now
Image via Wikipedia
A sari or saree or shari is a female garment in the Indian subcontinent.[1] A sari is a strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from four to nine metres in length that is draped over the body in various styles. The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped over the shoulder baring the midriff.[1] The sari is usually worn over a petticoat (pavada/pavadai in the south, and shaya in eastern India), with a blouse known as a choli or ravika forming the upper garment. The choli has short sleeves and a low neck and is usually cropped, and as such is particularly well-suited for wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cholis may be "backless" or of a halter neck style. These are usually more dressy with a lot of embellishments such as mirrors or embroidery and may be worn on special occasions. Women in the armed forces, when wearing a sari uniform, don a half-sleeve shirt tucked in at the waist. The saree was born in both South and North India and is now a symbol of india.
CHENNAI: Drape it like a sarong, save your time. But still look as elegant as you would be if you were wearing the original six-metre cloth. The old world charm never leaves the saree, even if it comes tailor-made. At No 3 Ashoka, the latest boutique on Khader Nawaz Khan Road, stylist Ashoka demonstrates how these novel sarees can still be as classy as the original. “People have started going for such sarees. Especially expats find it easier to wear something like this, as they don’t have to go through the process of draping a cloth six metres in length,” he says. “It comes with pleats, ready made and ready to wear,” he points out.
When ready to wear sarees were introduced some time ago in the city, it was perhaps not that a huge hit. But with the windows of fashion opening gradually, people have started throwing in designer sarees of this nature to their wardrobe. “There are many young women in India who can’t drape a saree. I don’t mean that the age of saree is out. It will never be. But for functions, you can see women panicking because they don’t know how to wear one and they usually end up asking other for help. This can well be curbed, if they go for sarees that they can wear like a wrap around. All you need to do is drape it around your waist and wear the pallu, any way you like. It’s just a matter of seconds,” he explains. “Such sarees work best with softer fabrics. But if one is so particular that they want a kancheepuram saree of this style, we can pleat the brocade and attach it to the pallu,” he adds. “This is an age of customisation. You can pick your material and colour, and then put it all together,” he signs off.
