On the occasion of International Women’s Day, an Indian matrimonial website held a poll asking the voters to pick their favourite bahu (daughter-in-law) from Bollywood. Among the names contending for the title were Aishwarya Rai, Kajol, Gauri Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Twinkle Khanna, Kiran Rao and Malaika Arora.

But it’s Kajol who emerged the favourite bahu after getting 43.08 percent votes in the poll in which 250,000 women participated. Surprisingly, Kajol scored over Ash, who many thought would top the poll.

Gourav Rakshit, business head of shaadi.com is quoted as saying: “The results show that today the women are looking to be more independent and are willing to adopt stronger roles in their life. They believe in themselves and aspire to emulate top achievers in their field.”

Kajol has been married to Ajay Devgan for 11 years now. She put her acting career aside to raise her daughter Nysa, who’s quite grown up now. However, Kajol still remains very selective about the films she does because her daughter and her family continues to be her priority.

Kareena Kapoor was elated when the weavers of the remote Chanderi village in Madhya Pradesh had gifted her a gorgeous hand-woven black and gold saree, which she even wore for a press conference of 3 Idiots.

However, she was saddened by the fact that there was no electricity whatsoever in the village because of which the weavers had no choice but to work in darkness with only candles as a source of light. Moved by their plight, Kareena has now given them a Rs 3 lakh (approximate) cheque to raise a solar energy plant and within two months the village will have electricity.

A source said, “Kareena had gone to Chanderi village in MP with Aamir Khan for the promotion of 3 Idiots. The weavers gave her the handmade saree and she also had dinner with them. However, she realised that it was extremely difficult for these workers to weave as there was no electricity in their village.

Consequently, she has now given the cheque to the village officials and is also speaking to several Bollywood friends to join her in the cause to bring electricity to all villages in the country. She didn’t want to only talk about it but to also come forward and do something constructive.”

Kareena said, “I was a little shocked to see how these people work. At the end of the day it’s our country and I learnt that there are about 100 villages in the country which have no electricity. I have handed over a cheque to the concerned authorities to build a solar energy plant. It’s a nominal amount but it can bring smiles to many faces, which is why I wanted to do this. I am told that in about two months, the plant will be built and there will be electricity in Chanderi.

I am also going to ask my friends in the film industry to come forward and make a difference,” she said.

If there is something that can actually give an inferiority complex to the best adhesive in the world, then, it has to be the ‘bond’ between T-Series and Music. Testimonies to this fact stand in the form of some of the recent all-time musical hits, from the stable of T-Series and which has found its place in every heart.

Continuing the tradition of ‘an eye for superhit music’, T-Series has gone ahead and acquired the music rights of five films of Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd. These are Khatta Meetha (directed by Priyadarshan, starring Akshay Kumar and Trisha Krishnan), Golmaal 3 (directed by Rohit Shetty, starring Ajay Devgn, Kunal Khemu, Shreyas Talpade and Kareena Kapoor), Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan (starring Akshay Kumar, Akshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif), Neeraj Vora’s Run Bhola Run (starring Govinda, Tusshar Kapoor) and an untitled film starring Saif Ali Khan and is being directed by Kunal Kohli.

With this mega deal, T-Series once again proves that when it comes to supremacy in music, they are simply second to none!

No doubt, Katrina Kaif is one of the most happening actresses in Bollywood today. She is known for her glamour roles, and guys feel weak in their knees every time she puts on a hot avatar. But this very girl doesn’t believe she is hot and sexy.

“i think i’m hot and sexy. I think that the audience has certain opinion about each person, and that one should not disappoint them.”

She quoted the example of Vidya Balan, who is known for her ethnic roles, and yet people love her in that image. She added that everybody has a place and one should be comfortable with that.

Well, Katrina!! You should also know that ‘being sexy’ is your strength and you should make use of it to the fullest!!
