'I am here to stay'
You have six releases lined up before the year end. Are you charged up or nervous? When I think of it, I get jittery. I’ m also
charged up because people still have faith in me. I guess the
audience don’t have a choice this year but to see me everywhere
(laughs). Whether my films do well or not, people still stand by me.
Why do you think your films are not doing well? I give my best shot whenever and whoever I work for. Maybe there’s more to me waiting to be explored. Despite five years in the industry, some unforgettable flicks, about 98 interviews, and loads of comparison with dad, I am still around and ‘here to stay’. I can only keep trying different things. I’ m not going to go till they pack me off (laughs). Do you find the tag, ‘Aby’ s baby’ , too heavy to carry? I am proud to be Amitabh Bachchan’s son. He is, so I am. How is it working with older director’s like J. P. Dutta, Sooraj Barjatya and newer ones like Rohan Sippy and Goldie Behl? Honestly, there is no difference in their approach to filmmaking. All of them are as enthusiastic and as involved as the other. But it’s great fun working with friends like Goldie and Rohan. Take for instance Sooraj Barjatya. I had to answer to him, as well as my audience. There’s lot of pressure working with big names. When I saw Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, I realised that Sooraj had extracted more than what I thought I could give. Professionally, your career has yet to pick up. Personally, recently, you had a setback, too. Are you maturing? There’s nothing much life can offer you. It’s what you take out of life. Time teaches you. I look at everything in life as a learning experience. One way or another, you cherish it. That’s the way life is. And I’ m enjoying mine. I have evolved as a person and as a professional. |
The
gorgeous Malaika Arora-Khan is all set for a new career! Yes, and in
singing. That’s not all; she is also planning on coming out with a
clothing line and a chain of restaurants. She is working hard at
coming out with an explosive album with an equally explosive video.
The stunner is also planning on coming out with a clothing line,
which will be simply called ‘Malaika’. Well, watch out, babes, if
you are a Malaika wannabe... go here!
Ajay’s
loss has been Anil’s gain. The versatile actor decided to grab the
role Rituparno Ghosh wanted Ajay to play in his first Hindi
film.Devgan decided to opt out, as the role required him to put on
weight. On the other hand, Anil Kapoor, who believes in getting
under the skin of his character, has agreed to gain pounds for the
production. If everything goes as planned, this will be Anil and
Kareena’s first film together. 
Ever
since she hurt herself on the sets of It Was Raining That Night,
Sush has been bed-ridden at home. Well, talking about homes the
actress has just bought a plush apartment in Bandra. Sush is busy
shuffling from her house at Versova to her new home in Bandra even
though her back is taking its toll of her. "I have to do up my
house! The thought is exciting and my back pain has taken a back
seat," she laughs. One wonders if she will move in with Randeep
Hooda? 
Has
Aishwarya Rai decided to go public about Vivek Oberoi? Aishwarya Rai
who air-dashed from London especially to meet Vivek Oberoi,
surprisingly even spoke to media asking the people to pray for his
speedy recovery. How did the media land up there remains a mystery?
Sources from London, where Ash and Vivek were shooting together,
reveal that the couple never arrived on time and would report at 4
p.m. in the evening for the day’s shoot. Not only that, sources
reported that Ash and Vivek would appear pretty close on the sets,
paying no heed to the onlookers. Aishwarya Rai has also been in
touch with Vivek’s family ever since the time he met with the
accident. 
Despite
five years in the industry, some forgettable flicks and loads of
comparison with Big B, Aby’s baby looks forward to a scintillating
show in 2003.
