A Bhangra Superstar is Ready to Rock Bollywood

Imran Khan is without a doubt a Bhangra superstar! His singles "Amplifier" and "Bewafa" topped the charts and earned the singer a few awards, including Best Desi Act at the 2010 Asian Music Awards in London.

With a world tour under his belt, Imran has yet to venture to India. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Imran talks about his plans to visit the South-Asian country.

"I want to bring "Amplifier" on tour to India first, establish myself in the industry ...and then look towards Bollywood. RDB and Stereo Nation did the same," Imran told the newspaper.

As Imran found out that he had a solid fan base in India he responded, "Really? I had no clue. It's great to know people are listening to my music. I have taken "Ni Nachle" and "Amplifier" on tour around the world to Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore, USA and UK. Looks like I really need to visit India."

Imran Khan is promising fans another video from his album Unforgettable, this time for the song "Pata Chalgea." With a new video, we can only expect to see Imran Khan at upcoming award shows and back on tour.

According to his Twitter, Imran has recently been in London, but is back in Holland. When DH! last spoke with Imran he told us about his plans of creating a clothing line and working on his second album.

Main Bahut Frustrate Ho Gayi Thi: Palak

Palak aka Gurmet Kaur who called herself a ‘fighter’ and claimed to survive in the jungle has been eliminated from Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao but she is not crying aloud. Instead she is heaving a sigh of relief that now she is sleeping on a cozy bed and eating a full course meal at home!

Aman and Palak were in the bottom two, and had to face the deadly Maha Jungle Challenge. The challenge involved the contestants to keep live creepy crawlies like worms, snakes etc in their mouth.

After learning about the task, Palak was hesitant but managed to keep a snake in her mouth for a while, however she lost to Aman who performed the challenge successfully.

She confesses “This has been the toughest show of my life. I have had a great time here and have made some really good friends.

Aakashh was like an elder brother, Mona and Negar were my close pals.” According to her the toughest time spent in the jungle was this week because she was dying of hunger as the food quantity was less. She says “Main frustrate ho gayi thi…kyunki food is a very important for our body… aur soya bean- chawal khaake halat kharab ho rahi thi.”

Unfortunately she was eliminated just 1 day after her birthday, she says “This was indeed my best birthday and I loved the way my camp mates celebrated it! Aakashh gifted me chappals and Marc a bedsheet which was robbed from jannat!”

Quiz Palak on the winners who will survive, she feels there are two deserving contestants for the title “I would want to see Aakash or Negar win. Aakashh is tough and has it in him, while for Negar it will be a good opportunity to come clean of the controversies that surrounded her life in India and maybe come back”.

For now this bindaas babe is looking forward to more work and will watch the show daily to stay updated with what her camp mates are upto!

Nandita's Screened Movie

It is a flying news that Nandita held a private screening of her directorial debut Firaaq for Rahul Gandhi, Nandita says, “Some reports had me saying ‘no’ to Narendra Modi and ‘yes’ to Rahul. Nothing like that happened.
The screening in Delhi was for friends and the organisers invited Rahul. I wasn’t aware till the last minute. He just dropped by, saw the film and loved it. We interacted briefly and I felt he was a nice guy.”
She’s upset at how media persons gave her quotes new meaning. “Some journos asked me if I would screen Firaaq for Modi before the film’s release in Gujarat, and I replied why should I, I don’t need anyone’s permission to release it,” revealed the actress who was harassed by calls after this report appeared. “I have always stayed away from politics and I would like it like that. Which party I support is my choice.”
Busy reading scripts for her next film which she may act in and direct, Nandita is also unhappy about her alleged affair with Rahul Bose. “We have a great rapport and are great friends. We have acted in five films. I should be spoken about for my work. I don’t appreciate people snooping into my personal life,” she complained

Katrina Kaif's Relation With Salman Khan

Their relations have suffered badly during the last one year. It is said that they are no longer on talking terms. The couple who had a rocking relationship for the last six years seem to be going through a rough patch.

There can’t be smoke without fire. So, you have a reason to listen to rumors too. And here is the latest gossip in Bollywood. Lovebirds Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan managed to keep their relationship intact in spite of the rumors that they were splitting. However, the true color is slowly but surely coming out. The news is spreading like wild fire that Katrina is disappointed with boyfriend Salman. She has not forgiven him for his rowdy behavior and his verbal attack on Shah Rukh Khan in her birthday party. She is blaming Salman for the controversy, as she thinks he should have behaved well as the host of the party. What hurt the actress even more was that he didn’t listen to her request to offer an apology to Shahrukh.

Everyone knows that initially Katrina Kaif got many of the roles due to her beau Salman Khan who sort of forced many directors who were desirous to cast him in their films. Salman’s presence almost ensures the success of films. Even if some of his films may not be super hits at box office but they always give a decent return to producers. Initially filmmakers were at first hesitant to sign her because of her linguistic shortcomings. Katrina saw success with the 2005 film Sarkar where she played the brief role of Abhishek Bachchan’s love interest. Her next release was Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, where in she was paired opposite Salman Khan.

Katrina Kaif then appeared in a series of box office hits that include Apne, Partner and Welcome. 2008 saw her play a negative role for the first time in Abbas-Mustan’s super hit action thriller Race. She played the role of Saif Ali Khan’s secretary who is secretly in love with him. She appeared next in Anees Bazmee’s box office blockbuster Singh Is Kinng alongside Akshay Kumar for the fourth time
