Addiction is always dangerous whether it is liquor, money or stardom. Stardom is also an addiction, which has taken its toll on Bollywood actress. Now it seems that Bollywood has got new success mantra in form of newcomers. Now a day, giving break to new faces in big banner films has become a trend in Bollywood.
There are several examples of such actress in the industry like Malika Sheratwat All the local delivery boys and grocery shop owners hate Mallika Sherawat for her high handed starry attitude.
Mallika stays in Mumbai's up market suburb Versova area along with her brother. In the same Raheja complex that she stays other film personalities like Amrita Rao and Rohit Manasi Roy too say apart from many other TV celebs. We have found out from those staying around her that she is one of the most hated celebs around!
A source told us, “She unashamedly throws her diva like attitude even while working out in her society's gym. She doesn't like people around when she is working out. She yells at all those who even look at her for a brief second when she is doing her work outs. She doesn't even the spare the poor delivery boys who want to use the same lift which she is entering. She makes them wait and uses the lift alone. If she orders anything from the near by grocery shops and the delivery chap is late by even 5 minutes she gives him a lashing of his life. She also orders him to not stand outside her flat for the lift and either use the stairs to go down or take a lift from a floor below. That's the reason why grocery shop owners hate her big time. She should understand that she is no top actress and her recent back to back two flops should teach her some humility especially when dealing with less fortunate people!”
One wonders whether it is the same Mallika who once cried hoarse about her middle class up bringing in small town Rohtak and how she empathized with middle class working people. Success or failure really does strange things to people in Bollywood but it seems extremely extreme in case of the salacious actress!
Ever since Kareena Kapoor renounced the Miss Attitude title, the crown has been sitting idle and lonely, looking for the next best lovely lady. It's finally got some takers, at least that's what the jury comprising of some industrywallas and media folks have to say. But there's one girl out to prove the filmi adalat wrong this time. People believe that after the success of Gangster, Kangana Ranaut has been giving producers a whole lot of attitude. But that's quite contrary to the truth. In fact, one of the reasons she accepted the role in Metro, was her great rapport with director Anurag Basu.
He had given her her first break in Bollywood, a successful one that too. It's something Kangana will remember as long as she's around. “Kangana's not in awe of herself; she understands that if you're a good actress you'll stand out one way or the other,” says her close director friend. That little bit of spunk and attitude – we like it. If there's an excess just throw it away not around.
Rimi Sen bagged Dhoom, Baghban and a slew of other high-profile projects.
She has bagged some of the bes roles in Bollywood movies and she is also disliked by her co-stars because of her attitude problem, people say that she has a very foul mouth!
No one likes her. Lonely at the top?
Kareena Kapoor wore it for a long time and then renounced it, guess what? It's the attitude crown. But now the crown has found a new head to rest upon. This new head belongs to Kangna Ranaut, the glamorous Bollywood actress. Kanga is crowned the ‘Miss Attitude' of Bollywood because she is soaring high after the little success of her movie ‘Gangster'. Known for her skin show, Kangna has started throwing lot of attitude on the producers and has made a demand for a pivotal role in all the films including the multi-starrers. Recently Kangna was seen in her friend Anurag Basu's film ‘Life in a Metro'. Kangna accepted to do this film because Anurag was the first person who gave a break in Bollywood. And it is something Kangna would remember throughout her life. A friend of Kangna tells Delhi Times that “Kangna is not in awe in herself; she understands that if you are good actress you will stand out one way or the other.” Well, God only knows who is right- the producers who are facing the heat of Kangna's attitude or the actress' friends.
Celina jaitley is one the media's favourite gals. Firstly, this babe flirts with the camera beautifully; ask the lensman, he will tell you about the killer picturesshe makes. Celina courts controversies too, and she doesn't escape the shutterbugs hounding her for bytes. Now is not this reason enough for the media-folk to adore her. No attitude, no starry hang-ups —-we couldn't have it better. “The media has always been kind to me; they have given me a chance to prove myself. And i know how tough it is being a scribe, why should i give them any attitude?” says Celina Jaitley, who will next be seen in Shakalaka Boom Boom. Now that's the attitude we tend to prefer!
She is the number one actress in Bollywood. It all started with the super-duper success of her last release JAB WE MET, which catapulted her to the top league. Post that she has been riding high in both her professional and personal life. With looks to die for and a pencil-thin figure, Kareena Kapoor is not only the highest paid actress in the country but also the flavour of the year. Now, the million-dollar babe is all set to re-enforce her numero uno status with her latest release Tashan. Everybody's already raving about Kareena's Tashan in the film.
Says a source who has just seen the film, "With Tashan, Kareena has established her clout in the industry. She has never looked so scorching hot before on screen and she has never been so good in a film! She positively sizzles. Whatever the fate of the film, Kareena Kapoor is here to stay. She is numero uno. "
That's Kareena's Tashan for you! And Kareena's ecstatic about all the praise she has received for Tashan. "I think it's a tailor made role for any actress. I think I am extremely lucky to get this role. It's like a hero's role, it has action, romance, song, dance everything in it besides which I think it has a lot of closeness to me, the kind of girl she is, very headstrong, knows her emotions."
The Numero Uno, Kareena Kapoor has proved to one and all with her performance in Tashan that there is nobody to shake her up and mess up with her race to fame!
Mumbai, Sameera Reddy seems to be quite a gutsy girl. The actress remains unflustered despite being attacked by property goons while helping girls from an orphanage who were being evicted.
Sameera said she was unhappy with the attitude of the film fraternity to the trauma of the hapless girls. She maintains while people from all other walks of life came forward to help, the people from the entertainment world did not bother.
Sameera “The response from all over the country was overwhelming - corporate people, working-class, even domestic servants offered support. Middle class people were willing to dig into their pockets and give Rs.50 to help these kids.
Priyanka Chopra who recently presented a speech at the Global Leadership Forum in Kuala Lumpur received good reviews for her performances in Aaitraz and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. The actress?s position then rose in the film industry and she is currently being offered some of the best films with big productions banners. However recently the actress seems to be developing a starry attitude on the sets of her films. On the sets of her film Salaam-E-Ishq she recently threw many diva tantrums and gave the film crew a tough time.
When the actress was shooting for Nikhil Advani?s film she was given a Mercedes Benz for her use, but the actress refused and instead asked for the use of a limousine. After driving the Mercedes Benz for a while the actress wanted something bigger and better so she decided to ask for a limousine. The actress also threw a tantrum regarding the outfits that she had to wear for the film. Priyanka made a lot of fuss regarding the clothes for the scenes in the film claiming that her clothes designs were not conducive to the London weather. Designer Vikram Phadnis who has designed the clothes for the film says ?Priyanka did have a problem with wearing one of the jackets for a scene in the film and as she is very particular about her look and styling we changed the jacket and replaced it with another one. There was no major problem but just a minor thing which was sorted out immediately.?
But Priyanka? diva tantrums did not end there; she began interfering in the scenes of the film, giving unsolicited advice and inputs for the film. However director Nikhil Advani refused to comment on the situation with Priyanka saying ? I am the not the right one to be talking about this. Why don?t you speak to the producers of the film?? Unfortunately though producer Sunil Manchanda too refused to confirm Priyanka?s diva behaviour. However another source from the sets confirmed Priyanka?s high end behaviour and lavish demands. Priyanka is currently shooting for Harry Baweja?s film Love Story 2050 . The actress was recently also upset with the fact that she was not being promoted as much as Kareena and Isha Koppikar in Farhan Akhtar?s remake Don. But Priyanka claims that these are all baseless rumours and there is no truth to them.
Actress Asin's Hindi version of the movie Ghajini has crossed 100 crores in a week but she is in the news for all the wrong reason.
According to the news she has been throwing "starry tantrums" on the sets of London Dreams. Manzoor Khan, the make up artist and hairstylist walked out of the film because they could not stand Asin's chin-up attitude.
They say "even though Asin is from the South Indian film industry she behaves as she is from Hollywood." On the other hand the producer of the film stated that Manzoor Khan was asked to leave because his work was not appropriate for the film.
Now will Asin come back to south after getting all the success in Bollywood?
Aishwarya Rai is flooded with offers for films. But her priorities right now are slightly different. She wants to focus on her family duties while doing very selective work. Says a source very close to her, "Even about Pink Panther she wasn't sure, what with Mrs Teji Bachchan being so critically ill. Aishwarya didn't want any distraction from her family duties. It was Abhishek who urged her to take up the offer. Now she's ready to sign a couple of films. But she will choose very carefully. "
Producer Rohan Sippy's film directed by Sriram which is supposed to bring the never-before pair of John Abraham and Aishwarya Rai is awaiting the leading lady's approval. Though the shooting for the untitled love story has commenced with John, Aishwarya's nod is still awaited. And the only reason why she hasn't given the green signal is because the director hasn't come up with the script yet.
Says a source close to the project, "Ash has always been very close to the producer Rohan Sippy. After all she met and got to know Abhishek on the sets of Rohan's Kuch Na Kaho. Since then she and Rohan have always been close. When this project with Sriram Raghavan came up, Aishwarya's dates were a problem. Rohan flew down to Boston where she was shooting for her Pink Panther movie to convince her. Touched by Rohan's sincerity she immediately said yes. However, she made it clear that she would like to see the script."
Months have passed but no script. Sriram was busy finishing Johnny Gaddar and then sorting his projects out. Continues the source, "Though Ash has heard Sriram's idea and loves it, she has always insisted on a script from the start of her career. Remember how years ago Indra Kumar got pissed off with her because she had asked for a script before saying yes? Ash remains unchanged in her professionalism. Whether it's a completely professional arrangement with Indra Kumar or a friendly producer like Rohan Sippy, she wants the script."
Pooh poohing stories of how she was distracted and distracting on the sets of Jodhaa Akbar the source says, "If anything Ash is today even more professional than she used to be before marriage. Forget about causing distractions by bringing guests to Karjat where Ashutosh was shooting, or not giving Hrithik Roshan his cues while he was emoting, Ash wouldn't even speak to her husband on the phone while shooting." Sriram's film is crucial for Ash because after Jodhaa Akbar and Pink Panther this would be the only film she's signing.
Concludes the source, "Some people are suggesting that Aishwarya's dates for Sriram Raghavan's film are a difficulty. Not true. She has already set aside a large chunk in the first quarter of 2008 for this film. The problem is the script. She's still waiting for it." Aishwarya who's just back from a wedding in Jaya Bachchan's family in Bhopal remains the same. "My attitude to my career remains unchanged. I remain the same. It's people around me who imagine I've become a different person. They insist on portraying me the way they perceive me to be in their minds. And never mind if they're way off the mark. One report says I'll be performing the Salsa at a soap-sponsored event. Does that look anything like me.
