hah Rukh Khan on TV serials: I am too urban for it
As quoted by DNA, Shah Rukh Khan said, "I can't understand Indian TV and I 'll be honest about it. I am sorry Zee TV, &TV, Sony TV, Star or Colors, but I don't understand television stuff here at all. I am too urban for it. Maybe I am too uneducated or unemotional. I sell all that myself in my films but I don't understand that on TV. I don't know who 'devranis' and 'jethanis' are. I come from a different kind of family, so I don't understand all that."
But he has also been fond of some really good TV serials that have been part of television industry's intial days. While appreaciating serials like Hum Log', 'Fauji', 'Buniyaad', 'Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi', 'Wagle Ki Duniya', 'Nukkad', 'Hum Paanch' and 'Indradhanush', he says, "They had more essence and were funny, entertaining yet edgy and different. It's not a comment on what people are making today because at the end of it, it's a business and people want to make sure it works."
Shah Rukh is all set to appear on &TV hosting as a host of India Poochega - Sabse Shaana Kaun.
Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyar: Neil-Ragini gets intimate in V-Day party
In the coming episodes, both Neil and Ragini would be shown getting intimate. And to add cherry on the cake is the news that the episode will be the one featuring Valentine’s Day.
The TV show has got a high popularity amongst its audience for the brilliant pairing in lead. And what adds more positive views to the show is that love and hate relationship that the couple shares.
In the episode showing the estranged couple getting close, Ragini would be shown getting tipsy during one of the functions of her daughter’s marriage. After getting high on alcohol, the lady asks her former husband Neil to take her on a drive and for that rare moment feels free and enjoys herself.
During their outing, they reach at a place where a group of youngsters is celebrating Valentine’s Day. However, the young kids tease the couple calling them uncle and aunt just when Ragini comes in the defense of her husband deeming him as forever hot and handsome.
Then what take on are romantic couple dance on Bollywood number ‘Tumhi Dekho Na’ and a few cozy moments of love between our Neil and Ragini.
Sure this would have added more excitement to your anticipation!
'DDLJ' to continue its run at Maratha Mandir
After an overwhelming outcry from people, the makers decided to continue the screening.
The Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer film's last show was supposed to be on February 19 but the Maratha Mandir management was flooded with requests to reinstate the movie based on which they decided to reconsider their decision. "We are very happy to announce that Raj & Simran will continue to draw audiences and reinforce the timeless romance the movie has embodied over the last two decades," Yash Raj Films confirmed in a statement.
"The sudden announcement of 'DDLJ' being pulled out from Maratha Mandir at the end of 1009 unprecedented weeks, resulted in a spontaneous and an overwhelming outcry from the cinema going audience, as well as dedicated fans of the movie. Given this, it has been mutually decided to continue the screening in the same 11:30 AM morning show - without breaking the uninterrupted run of the movie," the production company added.
'DDLJ' was released on October 19, 1995. The cult romantic film, which marked the directorial debut of Aditya Chopra, completed its 1000 weeks in December last year. Shah Rukh and Kajol had got together at Yash Raj Films studio on the occasion to relive many moments of the film, which catapulted them to the star status.
Need to adopt US system of censorship: Shabana Azmi
Mumbai: Actress-social activist Shabana Azmi, who has slammed the Central Board of Film Certification's decision to refrain from profanity in films, has appealed to give up the British system of censorship and adopt the American one, whereby the filmmakers are liberal about their own films and censorship.
CBFC chairperson Pankaj Nihalani has issued a controversial diktat blacklisting 'offensive' words from Indian films. The decision has left many Bollywood celebrities in shock and disagreement and Shabana is one of them.
She feels "Censor Board's business is to certify and not censor according to appropriate ages".
"I think it is very important that we discard the British system, which means you appoint a chief and then you have 30 different people who willingly are chosen according to the political dispensation of the day which means every five years you expect the morality of your country to change," Shabana said here Thursday at the screening of the film "Qissa".
"Instead we should adopt the American system, whereby the filmmakers themselves yield and decide that they don't want a single cut but they realise that age appropriate behaviour is important. If they have a universal exhibition then they voluntarily give cuts," she added.
