SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

I guess SoggyCornflakes and all it's readers (I can speak for you guys, can't I?) want to say a very heartfelt sorry to Kajol, who lost her father earlier today. Somdev Mukherjee (sometimes known as Shomu Mukherjee), went into cardiac arrest this morning and passed away at home. He was 65. I guess this was a shock for Kajol and family, as he had recently been released from the hospital after being unwell for a while. Kajol spent a lot of time with him in hospital, keeping a motherly eye on his eating habits and health. Mr. Mukherjee was a producer, making movies such a Sangdil Sanam and Ek Baar Muskura Do. Our thoughts are with Kajol, Tanissha and Ajay Devgan. May Mr. Mukherjee rest in peace.

As One Two Three hits the theatres, not only is it in direct competition with Race, a few stories are emerging about the female stars in the movie. The stars, Tanissha Mukherjee, Esha Deol, Neetu Chandra and Sameera Reddy apparently had their claws drawn throughout shooting. This animosity has continued to the premiere where the girls continued to ignore each other and vie for attention from the camera's. Male co-star Tusshar Kapoor speaks of the rivalry,

"There was a cold war on. But no crying buckets, stamping of feet or fisticuffs as reported. The girls spoke to one another, but there were issues even if they weren't apparent. I guess, it's the intense competition."

Huh, that's weird, because this movie is the who's who of untalented skanks in Bollywood. Cool, it's true then, all girls have claws, even the ones who don't use them. -Halo pops over Tigger's head-

Ok, let's start with the actual story. Upen Patel is feeling very insulted when he wasn't acknowledged for his guest role in 123 at the movie's music launch. Apparently first-time director Ashwin Dheer was very commending of his actors at the music launch last week Wednesday, but failed to mention Upen Patel or his role in the movie. All other actors were called to the stage, but Upen was left fuming in the crowd

"What can I say? I was shell-shocked and humiliated. I don't know why I should be treated this way. Maybe because I'm an outsider in Bollywood. Would Ashwin dare to behave this way with Ranbir Kapoor or Neil Mathur? He shouldn't forget he's a first-timer too just like I was two years back. I realize I'm a loner and therefore open to all kinds of attacks. I'm prepared for all kinds of ridicule. But not being acknowledged as part of a film that I've done, is a bit too much."

And my explanation? Tanissha Mukherjee, better known as Kajol's sister, was recently interviewed about her role in 123 and when asked if anything funny had happened on sets, she said,

Yeah, I can remember one. It was when I made Upen really upset. Actually we had to cross a small river to reach the shooting spot in Pondicherry. I and Upen were in a boat and when we reached the spot, I got out of the boat and walked away. But unfortunately Upen lost his balance while leaving the boat and he started calling me. But I couldn't hear him yelling as because I have hearing problem. Later on, I came to know that Upen abused me badly. But we made fun on that, too.

So, Upen sounds like a sweet guy...doesn't he?

This post isn't really about Uday Chopra, but rather about Tanissha, Kajol's sister...in case you needed a more famous name to get the association. It's been reported that the lesser actress is getting married to Uday Chopra from the Chopra directing family. She has said she's not and refuses to comment further. You'll see her again in Sarkar 2...yay. Wow, I just realised what a boring story that is. Sorry about the lack of pictures...I'm kinda exhausted...yes yes, I know, that's not a good way to run a webpage, I should be commited etc...blah blah blah. Right now I'm just committed to my bed.
