Mona was born dancing and that’s how she lives life…one jhalak at a time! She brings a sense of spunk and pizzaz to the Bravura team, whether it’s attending Bollywood events or interviewing celebs from SaReGaMaPa! Whether it’s reppin’ her Sindhi or Punjabi pride, she’s PROUD to be Desi and doesn’t care who she shows it off too! There’s gotta be some old proverb to prove this right, but as “the saying” goes…the smaller the firecracker, the lounder the bang…and Mona is one LOUD FIRECRAKER!

And We’re Back

Filed under Bollywood

So yes! We know that we’ve been on a little hiatus, but that’s because we were working on some BIG THINGS that we’ll share with you shortly! But in the meantime, we thought we’d get you back on track with the latest in Bollywood! Some spicy news…some mirch to your masala…we’ve got it all for you in one packed article! So sit back, pop some popcorn and read away because things are about to get a little hot in here!!

Big B Saves The Day
Akshay Kumar has been promoting his movie ‘Khatta Meetha’ in some unusual ways recently, and not all of those ways have gone down too well. The star visited legendary cartoonist R K Laxman (who has been hospitalised after he suffered a stroke) a while ago. The idea was to get Laxman to watch the movie in which Akshay plays the ‘common man’ created by the cartoonist. Laxman can’t speak or move much, but Akki took a picture next to his bedside anyway. Of course, Akki was all smiles in the pic, next to the bedridden cartoonist.

Seeing this, film critic Rajeev Masand posted on his Twitter page, “Need innovative ideas 2 promote films in competitive times. But Akshay Kumar grinning like a jack*#@ at R K Laxman’s hospital bed is a new low.”

Amitabh Bachchan took offence to this and responded, “Rajeev! Your fraternity will never pull you up for calling Akshay a ‘jack*#@’. Ever thought if the reverse were to be done. would your fraternity have spared Akshay if he were to address you as one ..?? Never expected this language from you!!”

To this, Rajeev Masand replied: “Dear Mr Bachchan, in response to your message to me, my humble reply: Dear Sir, Let’s consider: if my fraternity won’t pull me up for that ‘jack*#@’ comment, could it possibly be because they see some sense in my comment? Or could it be because that’s what fraternity does: Stands by each other?

You should know, Sir. I don’t remember your fraternity pulling you up for the attack on photographers by security outside your house during Abhishek’s wedding. I don’t remember your fraternity so much as expressing outrage when Abhishek ‘allegedly’ bashed up a photographer on a film set.

  • Twitter Fooled?
    no responses - Posted 07.27.09

    Twitter is a free social networking service that enables its users to send and read each other’s updates, known as tweets. With each Twitter page the person posts updates about what they are doing and if your famous people a whole lot of people follow you and read what you have written or your friends that follow you on Twitter. Twitter is the newest networking site and has reached to millions of people using it.

    And it seems to be a favorite choice – many famous celebrities would love the idea of having a Twitter account rather then Facebook.

    With many celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Diddy, and RDB actually use Twitter themselves.The question here is…how do you know it’s really them?! More then 300+ people follow these celebrities on Twitter. For example, Diddy has said on his MTV show Making the Band 4 to follow him on Twitter; therefore you know it’s really him. What about the others?

    From full-time lovers to full-time business partners, it looks like Saif and Kareena are doing all that they can to solidify their relationship! Khan has decided that he is going to start his own production company – Illuminati Films – and it seems like his business advisor…who would’ve thought…his very own leading lady, Kareena Kapoor.

    Well, we all had a ‘glimpse’ of the King Kahn in ‘Om Shanti Om,’ as he played a superhero for a few scenes. And then again in ‘Billu’ we saw the same thing from Mr. Kahn! But it seems like he’ll be a hero for real!

    The chemistry between Dev Patel and Freida Pinto was obvious to anyone who saw that kiss at the end of the movie – and of course, when they were walking the Red Carpet at the Oscars, Patel was surely at Pinto’s side the entire night!

    Of course, as any hit Hollywood flick, Patel and Pinto were right away rumored to be dating one another – and I guess that’s just something that comes with the territory of fame. But it seems like these rumors might just be true!

    Patel and Pinto were recently seen cuddling each other in a romantic lunch date in Israel – hmmm…that’s where Freida is shooting for one of her films called Miral.

  • Happy Birthday Shahid!
    no responses - Posted 02.25.09

    Shahid Kapoor & Priyanka ChopraAlthough Shahid and Priyanka deny that there is nothing between them, maybe there is something brewing up!

    Shahid just turned 28 on February 25th. Happy Birthday Shahid! From a source we heard that Priyanka had helped Shahid organize the party – everything from the guest list to showing up early to get the party started – Priyanka was in fill form! She was looking after the guests, making sure that food and the drinks, and made sure everything was going smoothly.

    When Shahid went down to see a guest downstairs and was away for five minutes, Priyanka went down to look for him. They behaved like they were girlfriend and boyfriend. My opinion on both of them is they look cute together so if there is something brewing…I for one, am very happy.

    We also heard Priyanka and Shahid were behaving as a “much-in-love” couple. They were acting as if they were ready to be open about their feelings for each other in front of everyone. According to everyone, Priyanka Chopra was the official hostess of the night. Shahid and Priyanka’s Chopra new movie Kaminay is coming out all I want to say is good luck you two…on and off the screen ;-)

  • Billo Barber – Priyanka Chopra
    no responses - Posted 01.29.09

    Shahrukh Khan & Priyanka ChopraWe showed you Shahrukh’s two smash hits from his forthcoming film, Billo Barber; one with the sexy Kareena and the other with the divine Deepika! But I think we had to honestly save the best for last!

    The long awaited song, “You Get Me Rockin & Reeling” with Priyanka Chopra is making it’s way to the top of the charts in India and all over – and why wouldn’t it!? Pritam has done an amazing job with the production of the song, and of course RSK and Priyanka just look too hot to handle!

    Pritam stated in a press statement, “Shah Rukh’s song with Priyanka is not an item song. It’s a love ballad that the pair playing Bollywood superstars, emote to in front of the camera. Being a love song Shah Rukh felt there wasn’t enough of the female presemce in the vocals. He made me re-record the song with more for the female vocalist (Dominique) to do since he wanted Priyanka to have an equal number of lines.”

    I guess we just have to see it on the big screen to believe it. In the meantime, check out the video below and let me know what you think!

  • Priyanka Gets Smoochy!
    no responses - Posted 01.15.09

    As you read earlier on Masala with Mona, the sultry Priyanka Chopra split with her boyfriend Harman – now she’s making headlines because of a certain on-screen kiss!

    Priyanka is everywhere in the media!

    She has been very picky about her on-screen smooch. She just refuses to kiss on screen. Everyone including the directors expected her to kiss Harman Baweja in his debut “Love Story 2050″ but she refused.

    Why is that – is she too shy? Too ashamed?

    Even with an intimate love scene with Arjan Bajwa and Arbaaz Khan in “Fashion” but even then she refused to kiss them. On the sets of Kaminay Priyanka finally gave in. She has had an intimate kissing scene with Shahid in their forthcoming film “Kaminey.”

    YOU GO GIRL! So what made priyanka kiss him?! I wonder…does she share somethng speical with Shahid? Hmm…well whatever the case is, good luck on the movie ;-)

    According to some reports Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja, Bollywood’s cute couple have finally decided to split. They both have been working on a movie together, “What’s your Rashee?”.

    During the shoot both Priyanka and Harman stayed in their separate van’s until they were called when the shot was ready! Aww that is upsetting they both did not want to faces. Maybe the parents did accept their relationship as per Priyanka’s father Ashok Chopra gave everyone a jataka with saying “They were not together anyway.”

    Were you seeing these two new fresh cute couple spilting up? Was this expected? Well good luck to Priyanka and Harman for their career’s and their love life ;) !
