Wardrobe malfunction with Lara Dutta at IIFA

It started off fabulously with Lara Dutta looking gorgeous at the IIFA, Colombo in Sri Lanka in her Gustavo Cadile designed golden gown. The dress was quite low cut but Lara carried it off confidently as usual. Then it happened! As she was addressing her fans and signing autographs for them, the dainty strap of her gown slipped off thereby revealing more than what was intended. The camera person present there captured the moment instantly.
Everyone was shocked but Lara used her presence of mind, kept her cool, held on to the strap and suddenly went back stage to fix it. And then she was back to her role as host and even posed for pictures.

Aamir Khan to perform on stage after ten long years

It has been ten long years since the perfectionist Aamir Khan performed on stage, but if the sources are to be believed, this talented actor has given a nod to perform for the concert planned by Cine Artistes Association with the motive of improving the standard and generating funds for the junior artistes of Bollywood.
Johny Lever, the President of the Cine Artistes Association says, “Our association has completed 50 years. I have personally requested Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan and several other Bollywood biggies to perform for us. We need funds to rehabilitate and provide resources to junior artistes who are finding it hard to make ends meet.”
Not only has Aamir agreed to perform, he has sent out personal text messages to all the big names in the business asking them to participate.
“SRK has agreed, so has Hrithik. The list is long but I must say that whoever we approached, has agreed to contribute personally. They have realised that the concert, which will later be televised on a satellite channel, is being done for a worthy cause,” said Johny.

Rani Mukherji said “Dil Bole Haddipa” was close to her heart because she had worked hard portraying a cricket crazy sikh boy and also learnt the sport. Check out Rani Mukherjee at the event.

ShahRukh Khan honored with the 5th degree black belt of Taekwando

King Khan has added a new feather to his cap. The Korean Government conferred upon him an ‘Honorary Black belt of Taekwondo‘ title. However, it may be mentioned here that even as SRK gets a 5th degree black belt of Taekwondo he knows nothing of the sport.
An elated SRK said that he felt like a tough guy despite doing mostly romantic films in his two-decade-old career but he has no plans to switch to the action genre and will stick to his lover-boy image.
“I am just recovering from my shoulder injury and will take another two months to be fully fit. I plan to stick to romance and utilise both my hands perfectly first,” he said.
“My son Aryan is very angry with me. He has been practicing Taekwondo and will take another two years to earn this title,” joked Shah Rukh.
Meanwhile, on the other front Shah Rukh Khan walked the ramo with wife Gauri to showcase creations by designers Karan Johar and Varun Bhal on the final day of the HDIL India Couture Week in Mumbai.

Preity Zinta throws sarcastic remarks on Shilpa Shetty

Both Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty are the owners of the IPL teams. Both have been successful actresses on the big screen. So, it is but natural that there would be jealousy, bitching and cat-fights between the two but the kind of statements Preity gave in for Shilpa on the occasion of FICCI’s 10th anniversary celebration can be called least professional.
When asked about the Shilpa-Preity IPL competition, Preity said, “She is not going to play cricket.” She then added, “I own a team, I am an investor in the team, I am the chairperson of the team. It is very difficult for them to digest that I am the boss.”
Preity here supposedly forgot that even she is not going to play cricket and that Shilpa is the boss too of her IPL team Rajasthan Royals. Shetty girl was politically correct saying, “Our teams are in competition.”

Despite the absence of many top Bollywood stars, the IIFA 2009(International Indian Film Academy) pulled off as a gala event amidst much glamour and glitter. It was a special event for the host Amitabh Bachchan as his wax statue from Madame Tassauds has been unveiled at this ceremony and was displayed there till June 13 after which it was sent back to London.
An overwhelmed Big B said, “I am very happy and I thank Madame Tussauds for considering me worthy of a wax statue. I hope many more from India fraternity join me in the museum.”
Daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai said, “The statue is nice but you can’t beat the original.”
The fashion extravaganza held at Venetian Hotel on June 12 was hosted by celebrity duo Zayed Khan and Sophie Choudhary, who appeared in Manav Gangwani creations.

This year IIFA may be devoid of much star cast at show

This time 10th Annual International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) 2009 seems to pass away without any big Bollywood stars and glitter. According to news, many a big stars have declined to participate in the event on some pretext. Firstly, it was the Shahrukh Khan, who declined from participating, and then Farah Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Akshay Kumar expressed their inability to attend the show and declined invitations.
According a close relation to Akshay told, “A family vacation was planned well in advance to coincide with Akshay’s son Aarav’s school holidays. Akshay doesn’t like leaving Aarav behind when he is out of the country. At the same time he doesn’t want his son to miss school. So the annual holiday was planned well in advance. No power on earth, not even IIFA, is going to persuade Akshay to take even a small break from the holiday, let alone break his little boy’s heart.”
Shahid Kapoor has another reason to skip the event as he is over involved due to the releases scheduled ahead this year, he said, “I was looking forward to performing at IIFA and showcasing ‘Kaminey’, however my commitment to my producer has to be honored and I regret being unable to attend this year.”
Though IIFA organizers, anyway, do not need to worry about as BIG B is attending the ceremony and he is a great crowd puller in himself.
