Internationally acclaimed group, RDB (Kuly, Manj, Surj & Nindy Kaur( have had nothing less than an epic year. When taking their first steps in Bollywood with tracks as Rafta Rafta and Singh is King, these artists have soared to unimaginable heights.

2009 started off with a bang as Nindy Kaur was introduced to Bollywood with two tracks, Aloo Chaat and Boliyaan. Both became instant favorites to fans across the world, especially in India, as these tracks were featured by a few performers on the show ‘Boogie Woogie.’ With the success of their music in ‘Aloo Chaat,’ it was understood that more was to come from this unmatched group. Following Aloo Chaat, their next major hit was Om Mangalam, from the film, ‘Kambaqtht Ishq.’ The track was featured in all the movie promos across the world and landed the #1 position on many Bollywood music charts as well. And if three songs wasn’t enough, RDB have ended the year with one last Bollywood project; they re-composed their worldwide hit, Paisa, for Akshay Kumar’s latest film, ‘De Dana Dan,’ featuring Manak-E. The track has become so successful that it’s held the #1 spot for the past five weeks.

Aside from their Bollywood projects, RDB and Nindy Kaur have been traveling the world, performing for thousands of fans in the US, Canada, UK, Dubai, and India, to say the least. They’ve even took over some of the largest theme parks in the US, over the summer, as RDB & Nindy Kaur were touring, giving away CDs, and meeting their fans.  When asked about this experience, Manj stated, “It was great performing in front of all the crowds at the theme parks; plus we got to go on the rides too, haha!”

It seems like now-a-days everyone wants to jump on the Bollywood-bandwagon of looking hot and well…thin!

Actress Kareena Kapoor has always been a head-turner, but in 2008, she made waves with her hot, sexy, and brand new body for the movie “Tashan.”

Kapoor’s new lean and slim body quickly became the cause of much rumor and gossip amongst females and especially young teenagers – in all honestly, who doesn’t want a body like Kareena?!

Ladies and gentlemen! Please direct your attention to the left ring, where you’ll see Salman and Shahrukh arguing over Katrina to  be part of the next Unforgettable Tour!

To the right ring, you’ll see our Bollywood Kissing booth, with yes, the Kissing Queen herself, Mallika Sherawat! And now, move onto the center ring, where your Ringmaster, Mona Gianchandani, will have an A-list of celebrities jumping through a flaming ring of mirchy-filled gossip and much more! There’s nothing you dont want to miss.

So if being a member of the paparatzzi was a dream of yours…chill and think of something else, because “Masala With Mona” will bring you all the dirty gossip you want to know about Bollywood! Keep reading because you know you don’t want to stop!

If you ever thought that a game show couldn’t help you fall in love, then you were wrong. Directors Danny Boyle (28 Days Later) and Loveleen Tandan (Brick Lane, Vanity Fair, and Monsoon Wedding) have brought it upon themselves that love is possible in anyway which you desire. Slumdog Millionaire is the story of how impoverished Indian teen Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) became a contestant on the Hindi version of “Who Wants to be A Millionaire?” It becomes an attempt made without prize money in mind, rather, an effort to prove his love for his friend Latika (Frieda Pinto), who is an ardent fan of the show.

Frieda Pinto is beautiful and charismatic as she takes on the screen and personifies love. In between press conferences at the Toronto International Film Festival and promotions for her new film, I had a chance to sit down with this up-coming actress and I have two words for the rest of Hollywood: Watch Out!

With all the hype surrounding Akshay Kumar’s latest movie Singh is Kinng, what’s making even bigger headlines is the fact that American Hip-Hop artist Snoop Dogg, is featured on the title track of this movie, alongside UK-based producers RDB. When listening to the track, Snoop starts off his intro with, “Represent that Punjabi,” and then saying, “What up to all my ladies hangin’ out in Mumbai.”

The entire “Khan-daan” along with the rest of the Bollywood film fraternity waited with bated breath to welcome their latest member, Amir Khan’s nephew, the hot-n-happening Imran Khan. Imran makes his acting debut with a fresh and cute entertainer, Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na. And what an awesome debut! The movie received a thunderous opening in India and abroad. A fresh story, foot-tapping music, and good acting is all it takes to win over the hearts of movie-buffs. Jaane Tu… has it all!

Her bio quotes her as a “stylish singer, songwriter and actress,” and she’s nothing less than these three! She was also handpicked by actor Bill Cosby to star alongside him in a TV commercial for Jell-O at the age of six. Oh, did I fail to mention that she also landed a role in the hit movie, “Batman Begins,”?

Yes, I’m talking about the one and only, Karen David, herself!

Born in Shillong – at the foot of the Himalayas – and raised in Toronto, Karen David can be coined as “ever-alluring,” and she’s never let herself be restricted or controlled by such things as ‘boundaries.’ She’s crossed hurdles, strived to prove she can be the best, and shinned in front of Hollywood and Bollywood greats.

One of Karen’s noteworthy moments, as an actress, came when she landed a supporting role in the acclaimed film, “Provoked”, alongside the actress Aishwarya Rai. This put her in the limelight with personalities in the Bollywood film industry, and the soundtrack for the film had her working with one of the best composers to come out of India, A.R. Rahman; together they wrote and recorded “Alive”, the theme song that personifies the quintessence of Kiranjit Ahluwalia’s story.

Recently Karen finished filming Universal Studios’ prequel, “The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian”, in Cape Town, South Africa. It’s in this movie she plays the spirited, aggressive, and beautiful ‘Layla.’ The film is directed by Russell Mulcahy, and she co-stars opposite Michael Copon (One Tree Hill), Randy Couture, and Simon Quarterman.

Fall of 2008 makes the release of this film, her second EP, and an album release! It’s been a journey in the making, and I had the chance to sit down with Karen and talk about her past, present, and…

So, what are our beloved Bollywood sitaaren up to these days in India? Well, the new trend that seems to have taken over the industry in the recent past is playing hosts and judges on reality television shows. Stars such as Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, Ajay and Kajol Devgan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan have already hopped onto the bandwagon.

Kaajal Bakrania, better known as the one-and-only DJ Kayper, has shown that in a man’s world, there’s always room for a woman to step in and show them who is boss! DJ Kayper, hailing from Gujarati descent, is not only a radio presenter but also one of the most acclaimed and top-notch DJs to hail from the United Kingdom. DJ Kayper posseses the creative dexterity of uniting classic & current Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae/Dancehall, Electro House, 80’s, and Soul with the tastes of Bhangra and Bollywood tracks. DJ Kayper has created her own little niche in the music industry, making her one of the most sought after DJs. In fact DJ Jazzy Jeff – arguably the #1 DJ in the world is quoting saying the “DJ Kayper is the best female DJ that he’s ever seen in his life.” Draw your own conlcusions.

It was at the age of 15 that DJ Kayper knew she was destined to be behind the turntables when she started playing in bars and clubs around South London. From there on, she worked as a DJ across London and other parts of Europe to eventually hosting her own Hip-Hop and R&B night, Ebonics, every Tuesday at the Fez Club in Cambridge.

In 2003, she was the first female to win the award for “Student DJ of the Year,” given by The Daily Telegraph, a British broadsheet newspaper. Also in 2003, DJ Kayper attained national recognition by becoming the first ever female to win the Vestax Juice DJ competition. Nonetheless, DJ Kayper is infamously known for bring the sultry voice hosting “The DJ Kayper Show” on the BBC Asian Network every Wednesday since May 17^th, 2006.

Being a woman in a man’s world, I understand the fervor, dedication and…
