Here’s your dose of goss for today! For starters, Sher Lock Holmes, who’s working hard to get a promotion from me, has been told by his khabris that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who promotes L’oreal, was present with husband Abhishek Bachchan and saasuji Jaya Bachchan at make-up artist

Micky Contractor’s signature line launch.

Holmes khabri says that it was Contractor who decked up Junior Mrs B for all her ads, including the ones for Loreal. So, she had to be by his side to encourage him on his big day. Clap!
But I’m told that Ash was falling all over her pati parmeshwar Abhishek Bachchan, giggling all evening. She was even pulling his cheeks and coochie-cooing with him at the do.

Next: she was seen getting too pally for comfort with director Tarun Mansukhani who worked with Abhishek on Dostana, and will work soon with him on Dostana 2. Guess, that was the reason that she was pulling his cheeks and unsteadying his hair too!

The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has now taken up moral policing and their target is Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The party has objected to the posters of her new film, Guzaarish, which show Aishwarya smoking a cigarette. The posters have been put up on BEST buses plying the

city.
“The advertisement sends a wrong message to the society and it should be withdrawn immediately,” said Avinash Abhyankar, president of the MNS BEST workers’ union.

Raj Thackeray’s party has warned the BEST to take immediate react in the matter. “If these posters are not removed immediately, we would deal with the matter in MNS style,” added Abhyankar.

The BEST administration said it has apprised the advertisement companies of the situation.

“We have advised the companies, keeping in mind the public sentiments, to take a step in the matter. But, legally, we have no authority to remove the posters,” said OP Gupta, general manager, BEST Undertaking.

Aishwarya Rai, who plays a ‘typical’ girl of the 1970s in the retro comedy ” Action Replayy”, says she didn’t try to imitate any particular actress, but picked from the looks and mannerisms of all reigning heroines of that era.

“There isn’t any particular actor whom I followed. In terms of visual styling, make-up and hair, there are lots of actresses from that time. There is no signature reference of any particular actor of that time. It’s a collage of all actors,” Aishwarya, 37, told IANS in an interview.

Preceded by serious roles in period films like ” Umrao Jaan” (2006) and ” Jodhaa Akbar” (2008), it was the word ‘retro’ that caught her attention when the film was offered to her.

Aishwarya reveals that “Action Replayy” was originally a play by the film’s director Vipul Shah himself, and he did not deviate much from the original script.

Her Diwali release, Action Replayy, may not have left viewers impressed, but Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is unaffected. “Thanks to Vipul (producer-director Vipul Shah) I thoroughly enjoyed playing Mala. She’s in-your-face, chirpy and vibrant. I’ve never played such a character before. I was so

kicked about reliving an era in which my parents-in-law started working together. I’m really satisfied with the outcome,” she says.

Unique character
To portray authentically the 1970s, the period in which the movie is set, Akshay Kumar admitted that he had modelled his looks on a character played by late actor Sunil Dutt. Did Ash, too, inject into her character certain traits based on a female actor in the 1970s? “No, I didn’t do that because Mala is unique. She is a girl of the 1970s but clearly unlike any actor of the time,” says Bachchan, admitting she enjoyed her recent small screen debut with a performance on Zee TV’s Dhinchak Diwali to promote her latest film.

Abhishek Bachchan has repeatedly been referred to, by well wishers, as the “dark horse” of Bollywood. Gossip hawks love spinning endlessly speculative yarns on him. He is the punching bag of Doubting Thomases: How is he ever going to live up to his parents’ fame? Will he ever be able to hog the limelight from his internationally famous wife? Has he? Hasn’t he? Will he? Won’t he?

Questions, assumptions and speculations apart, Small B is as enigmatic as his Big Dad. And, as is the norm with the Lions and the Bachchans, Abhi always moves in groups — preferably with those of the same surname. He is spotted at functions towering over his petite mother, Jaya Bachchan; he has almost always been seen hand-in-hand with his Beauty Queen wife, Aishwarya Rai; he is also seen walking shoulder-to-shoulder with his larger-than-life father, Amitabh Bachchan. Whatever/wherever he is, Abhishek has always been the object of focus of every snap-happy scribe.
