When Raima Sen recalls the time she was shooting for director Aparna Sen’s The Japanese Wife in Sunderbans, Kolkata, only two things come to her mind. Firstly, it was so hot that as soon as she would step out of the shower, she would start sweating profusely! Secondly, the entire unit was petrified that they would be attacked by tigers. Since Sunderbans is located around a forest, the unit was told that tigers always lurk around. “Thankfully they didn’t come where we were stationed but at the back of our minds we were all scared,” said Raima.
Night walkFashion had Mugdha Godse walking the ramp. The model-turned-actress surely had done many ramp shows earlier but recently she did a midnight fashion show which was a part of the IPL celebrations. Many designers display their collections at these shows that are held after the last match of the day is over. At one such show, Mugdha walked the ramp for designer Mandira Virk. But the only hitch was that the show was delayed for two hours. Apparently it was scheduled to commence at midnight but for reasons unknown, it was delayed for two hours. The show finally began at 2.15 am and Mugdha’s turn came only at 2.30 am. This was for the first time in her life that the model walked the ramp in the wee hours of the morning. It was an experience after all.
Modest displayLara Dutta, who will be seen sporting a bikini in Sajid Khan’s Housefull, is one modest woman. When asked about the secret behind her bikini bod, the actress laughed it off and said that everybody in the film business had to have a good body. Lara also brushed aside queries about the song where she sports a two-piece along with Jiah Khan and Deepika Padukone and termed it as an entirely spontaneous act. The leggy lass said that Farah Khan, the choreographer, asked the three heroines to wear a bikini at the last minute. It just helped that the trio was already in decent shape.
History student!Minissha Lamba is keen on doing a period drama. After watching Ashutosh Gowariker’s Jodhaa Akbar, the actress wished she was a part of such a magnificent film. The petite beauty is also interested in history. Last seen in Shyam Benegal’s Well Done Abba, she also states that she is not particular about acting in any genre and only wants to entertain people.
Khana khazanaImtiaz Ali’s favourites are Butter Chicken and Tandoori Roti and one would see him enjoying it thoroughly, if given a choice. Since he has been brought up in Delhi, the filmmaker is very fond of Punjabi cuisine. Mughlai is another favourite along with lip smacking kababs and paneer tikkas. Not to forget the typically Punjabi style channa recipe at a little restaurant called Pindi at Pandra Road in New Delhi. Whenever Imtiaz is in the capital, he makes it a point to have at least one meal at Pindi. In fact, he even recommends it to his friends and takes some of them there.
Laughing actCelina Jaitly has a new hobby these days, literally. She has taken it upon herself to learn as well as experiment with comedy. Not that the genre is new to her after acting in blockbuster comedies like No Entry and Golmaal Returns. Her next two releases Run Bhola Run and Thank You, too, have the actress raring to have the audience in splits. She is all the more excited as she even sports different looks in these films.
