SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

I guess in a way, it’s a bit refreshing that Bollywood parents are more like normal parents and not the “vulture parents” that exist in Hollywood, who can’t seem to resist the urge to exploit their kids. Anyways, it isn’t strange to hear about Bollywood actors who live with their parents or buy them houses nearby their own or even go to them for support.

Some parents, like Rakesh Roshan and Harry Baweja, provide more for their kids than just the usual unconditional support, but even use their own directorial power to launch their kids or make them successful movie stars. I guess Salman is hoping that maybe his dad’s influence in his movies will make a difference to his career.

Poor Salman has had 4 consecutive flops in God Tussi Great Ho, Heroes, Hello and Yuvraaj. So he’s asked Salim Khan to write his next script, in the hope that it would pick up his stalled career. Now, Salim wrote the script of Sholay…so it has to be good, right? Right…except he wrote it with Javed Akhtar and ever since the writing duo broke up, they haven’t had much luck in writing scripts…

On the other hand, what does Salman have to lose?

Or would it just be more appropriate to say that Salman Khan is not exactly fond of Priyanka Chopra? Even though guys through history have had to put up with the enormous amounts of time that girls take to get ready, Salman wouldn’t have any of that on the set of their movie God Tussi Great Ho (God, You are great) and was quite cold to Priyanka when she finally emerged from her make-up van.

Priyanka isn’t your wilting flower either and the friction eventually led to a bust-up on set, resulting in the director packing up for the day, with encouragement from Salman Khan.

Even though the two make a very cute couple (Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Salaam-e-Ishq) on screen, it’s reported that Salman and Priyanka don’t have the most smoothest of histories, with both actors having refused to work with each other on certain occasions, increasing tensions every time they actually do end up working together.

Hopefully the love of God will bring these two together on sets again, with things becoming so bad that Salman had refused to touch her in some romantic song (how can you even shoot a romantic song without touching?). Next thing you know, Salman will be whispering on set that Priyanka has cooties. Mature guys.
