Filmmaker Karan Johar says choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan is so professional that she refused to take up Yash Raj Films' 1995 project DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE (DDLJ) as she had committed to do a Marathi movie.

While shooting for 'India's Next Superstars', Karan, one of the show's judges, couldn't stop praising Farah after contestant Shruti Sharma paid a tribute to her through her performance, read a statement.

"I love Farah. She is so professional and determined with what she wants. I remember we were shooting for DDLJ when (filmmakers) Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra personally called for Farah to choreograph all the songs," Karan said.

"It's everyone's dream to work with these two biggies at some point in their careers and Farah was getting this opportunity at a very early stage. She refused to take up the project as she had committed to do a Marathi film. That's the level of commitment she has," he added.

The film's team later shot for the song 'Rukja O Dil Deewane' in India for which Farah was roped in.

Priya Prakash Varrier: The wink that blew the world away

0

‘Wink’eshwari sensation Priya Prakash Varrier with just a wink had blew the world away, the 18 year old Malayalam actress has become an overnight sensation with just a flirty and lovely wink tease video that has defeated all the theories on how to get famous.

How a wink had made our world occupied by superstars like SRK, Salman etc, wannabes like Urvashi Rautela, Poonam Pandey, Rakhi Sawant etc, the ‘dhinchak’ favorites on internet including the little Taimur, the PR gurus and last but not the least the fringe elements like the Karni Sena scratch their hairs, rub their eyes again and again in disbelief.

The popularity of the wink from this Mallu girl has now become the ‘babaji ka tulu’ ( a statement, comment, reaction) to all what is happening around in the name of name, fame, tolerance, intolerance and feminism.

Its not for the first time an actress in India has winked, divas like Sri Devi, Aishwarya Rai, Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan etc had done this before but no one has received such a fancy of the people like our dear Priya Prakash Variier. I have seen girls in my localities imitating Priya’s famous wink and taking selfies.

Its just a wink at first glance but if we go deeper it comes with befitting statements like – you don,t need to be bold and sexy to gain attention as a woman, in the world said to be ruled by man. Only a lovely wink can get eyeballs more than the sexy outfit of any top actress/ wannabe or a chiseled physic of a top Khan, Kapoor, Singh, Dhawan etc.

In India and world literature you will find pages written on a women ‘adda’ coquetry (flirtatious behavior), the wink had cemented the age old belief that for a woman to make the world go crazy, you just need a wink. With the advent of internet and dedicated junkies and trollers around in large numbers, it hardly takes much of a time to spearhead the momentum. And who said winking is an activity restricted to males.

The point is the wink which the actress has reportedly said to be spontaneous and given in one take to promote her upcoming Malayalam teen rom com ORU ADAAR LOVE (rough translation – solid/super love) directed by Omar Lulu co starring Siyadh Shajahan and Noorin Shereef is in a way lesson for all.

Look at the irony, so much of hullabaloo for months over Bhansali’s PADMAAVAT starring Deepika padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor courtesy Karni Sena couldn,t generate the buzz in all those months to the level what Priya has done overnight with just a solitary wink. Interestingly, people owing to the PADMAVAAT controversy flocked to theatres with binoculars to search for the alleged controversy which wasn,t there. But here whoever will visit the theatre to watch Priya in the movie, will find that popular wink and more of the actress.

Priya Prakash Varrier wink is not just a wink now, it’s a movement, it’s a challenge to those who oppose tolerance, it’s a tease to those who try to gain mileage by issuing threats, it’s a lesson that in today’s world of internet there is no rocket science to get famous, it’s a lesson that you don’t need to flaunt your assets to get noticed, just a wink is enough and why men should have all the fun. No need for an actress to have an alleged affair and /or a pr guru to make her popular. Just a lovely wink can do. We are so dried up. Sad by things going around us that a girl’s wink makes everyone excited and bring smiles.

It’s heard that PINK director has contacted Priya, but she is right now sinking in the moment and basking in the glory. Dear Priya, hope the wink doesn,t remain just a tease, it stays on you as your committed beloved and valentine.

Normally, people love a person’s smile but here your wink had blown every cliché norms of getting popular away, we love your wink and it has brought a smile to our face.

Keep winking we say.

Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji, whose next big screen outing is HICHKI, will be heading to Bengaluru later this month to discuss life's hiccups with spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

Rani has been promoting her forthcoming Yash Raj Films' production differently as the film's core message is that of overcoming a weakness by turning it into a strength with focus and determination.

The actress will be part of the inaugural session of the International Women's Conference (IWC), an annual event on February 23. She will put forward her views on the weaknesses that exist in society and how can people overcome them, said a source in the know of the event.

Rani said in a statement: "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has focused on the power of positive thinking, of positive actions and of universal love and his message has resonated with countless people.

"It will be amazing to be part of this session and hear him speak. HICHKI is all about harnessing your positivity and inner peace to bring out the best in you and I'm going to speak about this in his presence. I look forward to this interactive session."

In the movie, Rani plays the character of Naina Mathur who has a nervous system disorder Tourette Syndrome, which forces an individual to make involuntary repetitive movements or sounds.

HICHKI focuses on turning disadvantages into opportunities, through the story of Naina, who faces discrimination in a society that believes she cannot be a teacher because of her disorder.

Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and produced by Maneesh Sharma, the movie will release on March 23.

Alia Bhatt: Women in my life teach me true meaning of love

Actress Alia Bhatt's idea of spending Valentine's Day is not about expensive gifts and mush. She says a weekend getaway with her girl squad and a day out with her pet cat Edward is perfect.

Alia Bhatt, who launched Cornetto Oreo on Valentine' Day, has spoken about different ways to celebrate the day of love.

A mid-week getaway, she says, fits in well.

"Everyone is aware of the love I share for my girl squad. They have been with me through thick and thin and I cannot think of a day without them… So, (I) use Valentine's Day as an opportunity to head out of the city for some quality time with the women in my life who teach me the true meaning of love," Alia said in a statement.

For her, a fluffy day out with Edward is also just what she needs.

"No day is complete without spending some intimate time with the ultimate love of my life – my furry, paw-doable friend, Edward. With the weather being warm yet cozy, spending the day out in a park with Edward is just what I need," said Alia, adding that she is a person who treasures staying indoors.

And even though an occasion like Valentine's Day may be all about celebrations for a lot of people, Alia ensures she doesn't miss her gym date.

"Exercising is exhilarating and gives me an adrenaline rush like no other. So, yet another unique way to spend Valentine's Day is to have a pumped-up workout session with your favourite gym buddy," she said.
