CELEBS From Beautiful To Beauty FAIL

Ali Zafar answers everything right from terrorism, beauty, films and love for his country in a telephonic interview with Lipika Varma

Ali Zafar the Pakistani singer and the lead actor in TERE BIN LADEN, feels that India and Pakistan should be having amicable relationship as American and Canadian borders pursue.’ Yes! We are just across the border an we always feel that we should be allowed to move in and out of India and Pakistan, without much hi-cups like the Americans and Canadians do. I personally feel that things need to change for both India and Pakistan. It has been high time when we should extend friendly relationship by trying to extend our business, trade relationships. When I say we I mean both the ways it is difficult for both Indians as well as Pakistani’s not to have co ordeal relationship and the general junta would love to have a co ordeal relationship.”

We interrupt and quiz but as it is said that terrorism has been spread by Pakistan what is your take on it? I am not a politician so I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THIS QUERY. But I may take this opportunity to tell you that Pakistan is the most effected country by the terrorists itself. We are the victims of terrorism, every day there is a bomb blast somewhere or the other in the important places in the country we want a peaceful life why would we, who are suffering attacks from the terrorists support them.

Coming down to some lighter queries we ask if he finds Pakistani women more beautiful when compared to Indian women? Laughs! Aloud and trying to be politically correct he says,” Indian women too are beautiful, But why compare beauty only between two countries. Beauty can be noted from within all over the globe. I think women all over the world are beautiful. Well! We hear your wife is a trained beautician, will you allow her to work? Yea! Why not? People have wrong notions that Pakistani women are restricted to live within the four walls of the house only. This is totally a wrong perception. Like any other women in the world we allow our ladies to move about freely. There are many-trained make up artists [women] in Pakistan and they are allowed to be professional. Right now my son Aazan is very small and my wife has to look after him so she is unable to take up her profession ahead. Once she is free from her responsibilities she will be free to work if she likes to. Not necessarily do they have to wear a burkha they also can wear a simple jeans and shirt in our country.

Coming to his bollywood films we ask him why he did not try working with Mahesh Bhatt? Yes! I was to do one of his projects but it could not work out because by the time I got an offer, I had already signed TBL. Ishaha Allah! If everything goes well I may do a film with two big banners. Right now I cannot declare their names.

So does Ali possess a proper working visa? And why is he attracted to bollywood? Yes! I do possess a double multiple visa. It was kind of the Indian embassy to give it to me. Bollywood has marvelously extended its wing Internationally. In Pakistan people crave for Indian movies. Hindi films surely allure audiences all over the world. Speaking about his favorite actors adds,” I like Dilip Kumar. Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan . I did meet Aamir Khan while he was down Pakistan for promotions of his film Mangal Pandy four years ago. Hopefully I may meet him this time. Surprisingly, he likes Kareena and Katrina because they are beautiful.

Last but not the least when we ask him being a singer would he love to sing a number which may have the first line” Zindabaad Hindustan? I am a Pakistani. I love my country. That’s all I may say…. Hmm sounds a real patriot.

The problems for Raajneeti seem to be getting more pronounced. Earlier this week, there was a Mumbai-based social worker Naseem Khan who filed a petition in court against Raajneeti asking for its release to be stopped because one of the central characters apparently resembles Sonia Gandhi.

Now one hears that actor and self-styled star Kamal R Khan (or KRK as he likes to be called) has sent Prakash Jha a legal notice claiming rights over the title Raajneeti.

When contacted Jha admits Kamaal, known to generate publicity for himself through various controversies, has indeed sent a legal notice claiming copyrights over the title Raajneeti.

“But my lawyers are looking into it .There’s absolutely nothing in this claim. We shouldn’t give any importance to people who jump into the picture at the time of release for whatever reasons. Look at the way Rakesh Roshan is being harassed over Kites by some person claiming to be entitled to crores of rupees. Earlier we had someone making claims over Ram Gopal Varma’s Rann days before release. This is not done!”

Speaking on Mr Naseem Khan’s claims that Raajneeti casts aspersion on one of the most revered politicians of the country, Prakash Jha retorts, “Let all these self-styled supports of Soniaji come forward to show their loyalty. Am I an irresponsible citizen and filmmaker who would do something so foolish as to portray Soniaji in a bad light? No one has seen a frame of Raajneeti. How does anyone presume that Katrina’s character has any resemblance to Soniaji? Have I said it anywhere? Has Katrina said it anywhere? Let Soniaji watch Raajneeti and decide.”

Ram Gopal Varma very recently and Rakesh Roshan during the release of Krazzy 4 when composer Ram Sampat made plagiarism charges, had to opt for hefty out-of-court settlement to pay up to get their films released. This time both Rakesh Roshan and Prakash Jha are adamant on not giving in to what they see as arm-twisting tactics.

About an out-of-court settlement with the aforementioned Mr Naseem Khan, Prakash Jha said, “Over my dead body. I’d burn the prints of my film rather than give into such blackmail. No out-of-court settlement for me. I’ve seen enough legal obstacles in my life. This is nothing.”

She has joined hands with the Chandigarh administration for this endeavour. The health department here has enrolled a city-based NGO Shamsher Singh Foundation under the ongoing partnership initiative programme of Chandigarh administration, said officials here Thursday.

Gul, founder member of this NGO, has signed the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the health department to work in this direction.

The administration has briefed Gul and other officials of the NGO about their roles and responsibilities.

“We have apprised them about their responsibilities in generating awareness about these issues. Their work involves monitoring of ultrasound centres to prevent sex determination tests as well as volunteering as decoy clients to conduct raids,” said Ram Niwas, health-cum home secretary of Chandigarh.

“The NGO will also motivate people by recognising the birth of second girl child in the form of celebrations of birthdays or festivals like Lohri. They will also identify drug addicts and help them to shun drugs,” stated Niwas.

When Abbas Tyrewala wrote the catchphrase Pappu Can’t Dance Sala for his debut film little did he know it would grow into a youth chant at pubs, college campuses and bowling alleys.

So the first thing he was advised to do was to register the title for future use. Abbas was in no mood to use Pappu Can’t Dance Sala as a title for any of his future films. He gladly handed the words of his lyrics to writer-actor-director Saurabh Shukla.

Says Abbas, “Saurabh is most welcome to it. Pappu Can’t Dance Saala could never have been the title of any of my films. I gladly gave away the phrase. Pappu can’t dance saala or Chiggy wiggy (for Blue) are catch-phrases I wrote off-the-cuff to appeal to youngsters. There’s no away I’ll re-title my new film Pappu Can’t Dance Sala. That phrase is done with. I’ll never use it again.”

Last heard, Abbas was being pressurized by potential distributors to change the title. “I just might have to change it, ” relents Abbas. “I could go for an old Hindi film-song title like I did in Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na.”

Commenting on A R Rahman’s music Abbas says, “Rahman created a totally different musical style for Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na and now for 1-800-Love. I loved writing Pappu can’t dance saala and Jiggy wiggy for Rahman. They both appealed to the young, Pappu to the 18-year old, Jiggy to the 4-5-year old.”

Abbas Tyrewala and his producer Madhu Mantena are at loggerheads over the strange-sounding title 1-800-Love of Abbas’s film.

The producer it seems, was against the odd title from the start and insisted that the term 1-800-Love had no relevance to Indian audiences.

But Abbas insisted on the title.

“That’s the name by which I see the characters’ lives unfold, ” the director insists.

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he is still awaiting an acknowledgement for an SMS that he sent to Shah Rukh Khan on his birthday over a week ago.

“Nov 2 was Shah Rukh’s birthday and I may have been the very early wisher to him, but he still has not acknowledged, ” Bachchan posted on his blog.

” (His) mobile must have crashed with the number of wishes he had continued to receive throughout the day. Maybe I should send him a reminder. (It is) most unlike him. I wished Gauri and him for their anniversary a few days back and they responded. But why not now?”

The actors have featured together in films like “Bhootnath”, “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham”, “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna” and “Mohabbatein”.

Earlier, cricketer M.S. Dhoni had ignored Amitabh’s congratulatory message when he was awarded the Padma Shri, India’s fourth highest civilian award.
