After being linked to a string of actresses, Bollywood Star Shahid Kapoor has finally cleared the air about his relationship status. He says he is very much single.
"I am very much single, available and definitely ready to mingle," Shahid said on a new reality show Lift Kara De.
Shahid came as a celebrity guest on the show, which is hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, and produced by Yash Raj Films.
The 28-year-old found himself on sticky ground when Johar asked him about his link-up with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Hot Actress Anushka Sharma, with whom Shahid is featuring in Parmeet Sethi's untitled directorial debut.
"You had better ask Parmeet that question. After all directors have all the fun these days!" he quipped.
"I want to clarify that I am not dating Hot Priyanka Chopra or anybody else," added Shahid.
Lift Kara De features 20 hot celebrities, who feature one by one each week, and get to meet their biggest fan. The episode featuring Shahid will be on air Friday at 8 p.m (local time).
As Bollywood Bold Actor Abhishek Bachchan gets ready to make his TV debut with "Idea National Bingo Nights", he will be seen playing the game with his fatherBollywood Superstar Legend Amitabh Bachchan in the inaugural episode of the show to be aired on a private channel.
Dressed in a formal black suit, Abhishek was at his wittiest best at a press conference here Monday. With his one liner and spontaneous answers, the audience was in splits and enjoying every moment of the session.
Explaining why his father is featuring in the first episode, Abhishek said that he wants him to do some aaram (rest) through the show.
"As a son, I want my father to relax a bit, slow down his work and take care of his health. But he hardly takes my advice. So I called him on this show to take some aaram," Abhishek told reporters.
Talking about this show, Abhishek said: "The sheer simplicity of the idea and the fact that this show is highly interactive is what attracted me to it. Winning here is easy, you need not answer any difficult questions or perform any strenuous physical tasks. The idea is simple - leave behind all your worries, relax and enjoy."
Apart from Big B, Bollywood Hot Celebrities like Shahrukh Khan, Karan Johar, Hot Deepika Padukone, Farhan Akhtar, Pravesh Rana, Vindu Dara Singh, Arshad Warsi, HotVidya Balan, Sonali Bendre, and Kirron Kher will be seen in subsequent episodes.
At 36, Hrithik Roshan still Bollywood's 'Greek god'.
Greek god, perfectionist, electrifying, the adjectives people use for Hrithik Roshan are aplenty as the actor completes a decade in the industry and turns 36 Sunday.
While he became an overnight star with "Kaho Na Pyaar Hain", his career has indeed been a roller coaster ride. He starred in Khalid Mohammed's "Fiza" but it failed to repeat the success of his debut film. Later Subhash Ghai's "Yaadein", Yash Raj Films' "Mujhse Dosti Karoge!", Arjun Sablok's "Na Tum Jaano Na Hum" and Vikram Bhatt's "Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage" failed to make an impact at the box office and were declared flops.
But he bounced back with the super successful "Koi Mil Gaya" in 2003 where he played a mentally disabled young man. It was the highest grosser of the year and won him many awards.
"Hot Hrithik Roshan dominates the show and packs in a power-packed performance. The role of a mentally challenged person is no cakewalk, but the actor takes to it like a fish takes to water. He manages to pull off the zero to hero routine exceptionally well. As an actor, he scales dizzier heights with this splendid performance," film critic Taran Adarsh had said when the film released.
The actor then went on to give blockbusters like "Krrish", "Dhoom 2" and "Jodhaa Akbar". Filmmaker Subhash Ghai told IANS: "I have seen Hrithik grow from a newcomer to a big star today. He has achieved his stardom sheerly on his hard work and passion for his films.
"He takes interest in each department of filmmaking and keeps inspiring his directors all the time. Hrithik is electricity in front of the camera and puts in lot of dedication in his work. I love him for that and wish him greater success in future too."
According to film critic Omar Qureshi, Hrithik is a perfectionist. "I know Hrithik since the time he was a thin boy. The very fact that he took a year's time to work on himself before doing his first film proves how dedicated he is," Qureshi told IANS.
"He is a perfectionist and a very hardworking actor. The best thing about him is that he makes his characters look so convincing. He works so well on that. "But I'm sure his fans have one complaint from him. They never get to see enough of the actor since he does just one or two films in a year," he added.
After just a cameo last year in Zoya Akhtar's "Luck By Chance", the actor will be seen in the much-awaited "Kites" in May. Described as a truly international film, "Kites" tells the story of a young con-man who lives life in Las Vegas, always ready to make fast money in any way possible.
Directed by Anurag Basu and co-produced by his father Rakesh Roshan and Reliance BIG Pictures, Hrithik will be seen sharing screen space with Mexican beauty Barbara Mori, Kangana Ranaut and Kabir Bedi. The film will be released in two versions -- Indian and international.
"Kites" is being touted as the biggest film of the year. "I am desperately waiting for 'Kites'. I love Hrithik and I think he is nothing less than a greek god," said Stuti Sharma, a 21-year-old fan.
