SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

While some Bollywood actresses are trying their hardest to do stick insect impressions, some of them are sending a healthier message to girls out there...even if they aren't curvaceous themselves.

Neha Dhupia recently gave a very politically correct answer to the size-zero debate that seems to be going around in Bollywood and says,

"Being fit is good but starving yourself is bad. I have always been fit, but I have not been finicky about being ultra-slim.

I do work-out and eat in moderation, but more than that I think it's not necessary as beauty lies in eyes of the beholder and you have to feel fit and beautiful from within first."

While Neha does her own stunts in Singh is Kinng, another actress is also looking to change her image in a new comedy film. Rimi Sen will be playing a fat girl who has a crush on Govinda's character in her next movie...but has decided that instead of really putting on weight for the role (which is just as unhealthy as getting thin for a role), she'll be using a fat-suit.

Aah, a fat Rimi. That has to be an interesting sight.

Rimi Sen talks about her new movie and how she's moving away from comedic roles and doing something with more substance:

Q.: What are you looking forward to in 'Johnny Gaddaar'? A.: This is the first time that I have acted in a genre that is not comedy. I think if the director is good, then everything goes well. I did this film for Shriram ji. I have seen his last film, 'Ek Haseena Thi', and I was spell bound by the way he presented Saif and Urmila. Q.: Tell us about your character in this film. A.: Shriramji has simply forbidden me to say anything about my role. All I can tell you is that I'm playing a simple girl named Mini, someone who wants to live life happily. The role required me to wear clothes styled from the 70s – wrap around skirt, simple churidars, etc. I am not glamorous in the film I look good. My character has many shades. Q.: What was it like, working with Neil? A.: It was a great experience. The best thing is that I did not have to stand on a piece of wood. As all my previous heroes were much taller than me, so I needed to stand on something to gain height. People make you dance on their finger tips, but I have always had to dance on a piece of wood! Q.: There are some hot scenes in the promo of the film. A.: And that is all you see in the movie as well. There are no kissing or love-making scenes between Neil and me. I am not very comfortable with those, and Shriram ji kept that in mind.

The movie will also feature Neil Nitin Mukesh, his debut performance which he is quite proud of and he admires himself for not being presented as a loverboy in his first movie. He's ok looking in the pictures, but we'll see if we have a new hottie in Bollywood.

Anyone know who Suman Ranganathan and Bunty Wallia are? Yeah, me neither, but apparently they are getting a divorce after only a few months of being married. Oooh, oooh, wait, I'm kinda getting the idea of who they are. Bunty is a producer, of films such as Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya and Suman was one of the evil daughters-in-law in Baghban, the one who played Rimi Sen's mother, yeah, that's her. Suman apparently one day just walked in, packed her stuff and walked out, leaving Bunty with a list of things she wants in the divorce, including a house and a car. Bunty is working hard to prove that maybe Suman was cheating on him during their shhadi, so he might not end up paying her much after all.

Says a well-informed source, "Bunty has enough evidence, including phone –bill print-outs proving there has been a lot going on behind his back. He has been talking to friends about Suman's intense attachment to a cousin of hers from abroad and also to her keen friendship with her trainer in her gym. You see, the end of this marriage has been a shock to Bunty. One not-so-fine day she came home and collected her things, including towels, cosmetics and declared she was moving out. Bunty demanded his family jewels and money. Suman has yet to return those."

I kinda don't have a hard time seeing why Suman left this guy. I don't condone cheating ever, but he is kinda ugly. Yeah, I'm not shallow, I'm realistic!
