May 242018

Preity Zinta will rekindle your nostalgia bud with this black-and-white photo of hers with Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji and Arjun Rampal

Keeping the tradition of Throwback Thursday alive, Preity Zinta shared a photo from the 90s, which screams nostalgia. The photo features Preity Zinta with Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji with Arjun Rampal and Shah Rukh Khan with Priyanka Chopra. While it was easier to recognise everyone, one person, who doesn’t look like an inch closer to what he is now, is Arjun Rampal.

Preity Zinta took to her Instagram account to share the photo and captioned it as, “Those were the days when there was no social media and we all liked each other ! Today we like each other’s comments but hardly have time to hang out like this (sic)!”

Preity has worked in films like Dil Se, Veer Zara, Kal Ho Na Ho and many other films with Shah Rukh Khan. With Saif, she has shared screen space in films Kya Kehna, Salaam Namaste. Talking of Arjun Rampal, she has worked in the film Dil Hai Tumhaara. Rani Mukerji and Preity sizzled in the film Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, and their song, Piya piya o piya piya went on to become a chartbuster. They have also worked together in Veer Zara with Shah Rukh.

After tying the knot with Gene Goodenough, she hasn’t been seen on the big screen. However, vacationing in California and Indian Premier League (IPL) has kept the dimpled-beauty occupied.

Rani Mukerji: Don't blame personal life of actress for film's failure

Actress Rani Mukerji, who is currently riding high on the success of her comeback film “Hichki”, says age or marital status of an actress has nothing to do with a films failure or success

Rani Mukerji

Actress Rani Mukerji, who is currently riding high on the success of her comeback film Hichki, says age or marital status of an actress has nothing to do with a film’s failure or success. Asked if she feels that age and marital status of an actress considered detrimental in the industry, Rani told IANS over the phone from Mumbai: “The success of Hichki has changed a lot of that thinking… It is important to understand that the audience is changing. They want to see a good film and a content-oriented film… When you give them a good film they don’t really care what your martial status is.”

Rani Mukerji, 40, says that the audience wants to be “entertained by films”. “What I am doing in my personal life is none of anyone’s business… What I do outside my work is not really important as long as I am doing films and the roles that suit me and the roles which I feel the audience will connect with,” she added. The actress is married to Yash Raj Films’ head honcho Aditya Chopra. She tied the knot in 2014 and welcomed her first child — a daughter named Adira in 2015.

The Aiyyaa actress asserts that “so many actresses have already proven that marital status is not important”. “A film not doing well also happens to actors who are not married and who don’t have babies. Just because a married actress comes back and her film is not doing well lets not blame her personal life,” she said. The Mardaani actress concluded by saying: “Let’s keep it casual and say that the film was not good that is why the film did not work or the film is really good and that’s why the film is working.”

There was no relief for Salman Khan as the Jodhpur Sessions Court yesterday adjourned his bail plea hearing to Saturday.

Tanya Kumar launches Teso in Goa

Celebrities

Dec 142012

While the men in Bollywood are showing their mettle by trying their hand in entrepreneurship, the ladies are now proving that they too are not far behind. Names like Shilpa Shetty, Shreya Saran, Preity Zinta and likes are testimonials to the fact that the tinsel town ladies are indeed names to watch out for in the arena of business.

Adding to this list is none other than Tanya Kumar (better half of Kishan Kumar), who has now launched Teso, touted as the country’s ultimate party destination in Goa. It is tagged as the perfect way to unwind on the Waterfront at Siolim. Open from breakfast to midnight, Teso is fast becoming a hotspot for Bollywood celebrities and was in the spotlight during the Sunburn Festival and AfterBurn parties last year which boasted of guests like Vikram Chatwal & Jake Jagger (Mick Jagger’s daughter), Zayed and Malaika Khan, Aftab Shivdasani, Wardha and Sajid Nadiadwala, Anil & Sabina Chopra, Queenie Singh, Rocky S, Mugdha Godse and many more.

Talking about Teso, Tanya Kumar said, “When I was a little girl, I remember telling my mom that,’ one day I want to own a hotel of my own and luckily my passion for traveling and discovering new destinations kept my dream alive. I’ve always had a thing for Italy…Italian places, people, clothing, music, food and also the language itself. The cuisine decided was Mediterranean, primarily Italian …and since this is a treasure in the true sense of the word, I was sure about naming it Teso’, which is derived from an Italian word ‘Tesoro”, meaning Treasure.”

Meanwhile, her ever-supportive husband Kishan Kumar said, “The Indian customer is evolving fast. They are travelling a lot and are discovering new concepts, which they would like to see back home in India. This new concept that has been created for India will cater to Indian tastes on par with international standards so that there is something for everyone”.

The good news is that Teso will soon have its official launch this month!
