Fans of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai can celebrate. The buzz is that Bollywood’s golden couple plans to appear onscreen together again.

And this time, it would be a romantic comedy by director Rajkumar Santoshi. Santoshi, whose last film was the Katrina-Ranbir starrer Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani, is reportedly planning the comic flick, titled Ladies and Gentlemen with Abhi and Ash.

If all goes well, the film would go on the floors in the second half of this year. This would be the first time the real life couple will try their hands at comedy together. After Mani Ratnam’s Raavan flopped miserably, the couple has been really careful about being cast together. But we learnt that the script narrated by Santoshi appealed to the two stars.

Santoshi was working on Power, but the film got delayed. So he has apparently shifted his energies to this film. Santoshi hasn’t released an official statement on the film, but he has started the groundwork, as he wants Abhi and Ash to give it their best shot.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra are inevitably going to be pitted against one another on the 1st of October, as both the flicks, ‘Endhiran’, and ‘Anjaana Anjaani’, are now slated to release on the same day!
Even though ‘Anjaana Anjaani’, was supposed to be releasing on the 24th as per the earlier schedule, the release date has been pushed back, thus, this has made the flick clash with the much awaited most expensive flick ever made on Indian soil ‘,Endhiran’.
As known, Aishwarya and Rajnikant are two of the most popular faces to have ever embraced the Indian silver screen, thus, it is being assumed that their flick will have tremendous success at the box office. With tabloids reporting ticket sales being a complete sell out, this sci- fi sure seems to be a big winner.
On the other hand, ‘Anjaana Anjaani’, being a Ranbir Priyanka starrer, and having some great foreign locales, with some great fun filled moments, a rom- com of sorts, is also touted to be one major attraction at the box office!
The buzz is however that will Priyanka give tough competition to the ever popular Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, will the two be in a only I’m the winner situation, or will it be a nail biting finish for both of them, where everyday will be a major competition day, with all eyes tabulating over who is the bigger crowd puller?
Well, this is getting tougher to decide! Just start counting downwards, till the ‘D’ day!

Madhuri Dixit comes straight to the thinking minds whenever we trouble ourselves over the face behind that smiling assassin. Even the late Madhubala whispers into our ears with her million dollar smile that had the entire nation drooling over her hypnotic charm. But, amongst the current rooster of actors, I have picked up the two ruling ladies: Katrina Kaif, the Princess of Popcorn and Aishwarya Rai, the beauty personified.
1. Katrina Kaif: With a complexion as milky as the resplendent moon, her toothy smile gives her an electric look. When she smiles, her eyes narrow to mere slits as men find themselves getting forlorn behind that oozing sex appeal. No wonder, hunks like Salman and Ranbir have been mesmerized by that brilliant spark behind her lips.
2. Aishwarya Rai: She has carried the mettle of the world’s most beautiful woman for close to two decades. From Salman to Abhishek (with a Vivek in between) have fallen preys to those predatory eyes that lighten up when her lips split into a curve. Her killer smile, undoubtedly, adds to her lightning bolt beauty often transporting the male voyeurs into a world of fantasy and dreamy imagination.
So, dear readers, think and vote and be impartial. It’s a battle between Ash and Kat.

This year, to coincide with its 21st anniversary, NDTV also honoured Indian icons of the last 21 years – among them, Amitabh Bachchan.

On his blog, Bachchan wrote about the ceremony, which he attended with his wife, Jaya, and his daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

“NDTV Indian of the Year acknowledging 21 years of the existence of the channel and simultaneously acknowledging Indians that have been an inspiration for the country in these 21 years!!”

“Young Rukhsana, the teenaged girl from Kashmir who when attacked by a terrorist, snatched his own weapon and killed him. Aradhna, the brave Mother of her daughter who after being molested by a police officer committed suicide and is fighting for 19 years now to get justice when she discovered that the officer had been let off with a warning and nothing more. Executives and bureaucrats and finance wizards that have helped in forming the modern image of progressive India.
“Ministers, politicians that have shaped well. Filmmakers and twitter artists – Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya, Priyanka, Ranbir, proud parents Rishi and Neetu, AR Rahman.

Sportsmen – Sachin, Dhoni, Saina Nehwal. LK Advani and Chidambaram. LK Advani presents me mine, and admits on stage that he has not missed a single film of mine from the very first Saat Hidustani, for which he had been dragged to by my Mother – Advani having had a very close relationship with our family since very early years – right down to Paa !! I am so humbled. So many luminaries in the audience.”

“The most powerful in the country in politics and the services. The three Army chiefs, and the people that matter in India’s presence, all mingling in a vast multitude of acknowledgment to those deserving candidates in the last 21 years of the country.”

And in the middle of all this – Sachin playing the one-dayer with South Africa in Gwalior creates history by being the first human in the universe to have scored 200 runs in an ODI and India beats So Africa by a huge margin to retain their world position. Dhoni on teleconference from the cricket venue, including me as one of his inspirations in life aaahhhh !! Just so much praise humbling humbling.”

“I send Sachin a congratulatory sms and he responds back with his customary thanks and love …….”

The handsome Kapoor boy, Ranbir met Abhishek & Aishwarya at the premiere of Paa and he was caught blushing!

The story is that Ranbir first met the gorgeous actress a decade earlier when she was shooting for Rishi Kapoor’s Aa Ab Laut Chalen. Ranbir was assisting his father at that time. Being her ardent fan, Ranbir was completly star struck! As Rishi and Ash were busy discussing a shot, teenage Ranbir started making a quick sketch. Laterit was Rishi Kapoor who had impulsively pulled away his notepad and discovered that there was a sketch of Aishwariya!

Ranbir blushed while Ash narrated this incident to Abhishek at the premiere!
