Barbara Mori - 12 year old son in Mexican flick!!

Barbara KITES Mori, 12 year old son in Mexican flick!!

Barbara Mori, the sizzling hot Mexican babe who features in Rakesh Roshan’s upcoming mega- budget flick ‘Kites’ opposite handsome hunk Hrithik Roshan, is all set to feature with her twelve- year- old son Sergio in a Mexican flick to be produced by her own production house.

Sources reveal that the film will revolve around the bonding of son and mother, who is a single and bringing up the child without any help from outside, whatsoever. The situation takes a sharp turn when the mother (played by Barbara) finds love late in her life and wants to marry.

Here comes the bonding between the child and mother in focus and the film tries to explore the finer nuances of the complex relationship. However, the observers are surprised to find out that Barbara Mori, even after doing such a big budget flick like ‘Kites’, has decided to revert to her native roots to make film, instead of trying her hands in big dazzling world of Hollywood.

Besides this Mexican flick with her son, Barbara Mori is also scheduled to feature in a flick on cancer survivors along with the likes of Lisa Ray etc. The film is titled ‘a minute’ and is a documentary to increase the awareness about the dreaded disease among audiences.

Earlier, Barbara Mori featured in an advertisement with her son for a milk brand but now when she has been paired with Hrithik Roshan in ‘Kites’, her image could take a beating among fans due to this.

In any case, Barbara Mori-Hrithik Roshan starrer flick ‘Kites’ is scheduled for a 21 May release. The movie has already created buzz by their hot kissing sequences in the flick. The film is being released in Hindi and English languages simultaneously by Reliance Big Pictures all over the world.

Sonakshi Sinha - Knocking The Door Of The Bollywood

Sonakshi Sinha Upcoming Bollywood Beauty
Sonakshi Sinha Daughter Of Shot Gun Entering in Bollywood



“I’VE BEEN TOO SHELTERED AND PROTECTED”

PRESENTING THE STAR KID WITH THE ‘WOW’ FACTOR

What’s in a name?” wondered Shakespeare. Well, ask Sonakshi Sinha and she will tell you exactly how much weight it holds in an industry teeming with hopefuls. Not one to bank on her father’s name (Shatrughan Sinha) though, the young girl has worked hard on herself before taking the final leap into the big bad world of Bollywood. Starting off as a designer, she realised how important it was to stay fit. It may have taken her a while to shed the extra kilos, but her hard work paid off when she bagged modelling assignments for some of India’s most prominent designers, walking the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week. Now with a role opposite Salman Khan in ‘Dabangg’ in her kitty, life couldn’t get much better for this stunner.

These achievements didn’t come easy and the lovely designer-cum-model-cum-actress is eager to relate her story. ”While I was in fashion school we were sent as volunteers to assist at the Lakme Fashion Week. My first job was to work 14 hours a day showing people to their seats! I was an usher! I would watch every show, everyday of the Fashion Week and always think to myself what it would be like walking down that ramp. It was a fleeting thought at the time because I looked like an inflated balloon and was wearing 38 waist jeans! Luckily for me, there were a lot of people who saw potential in me and encouraged me to lose weight. One of them being Salman Khan. It was only after he explained the bigger picture (pun intended) to me that I took things seriously and started my weight loss regime. It took me two years, but I was 30 kilos down and pretty damn grateful for it!”

Sure she has had her share of struggles, but Sonakshi has no qualms about admitting that her father’s influence in the industry has helped her bag the role in ‘Dabangg’. “My father and Salim uncle have been good friends and associates for the longest of time. It’s because of their relationship that our families have connected. Salman has always seen the potential in me and egged me on.

Once I was ready, it was Sohail who insisted that I be cast in this film and that’s when Arbaaz approached us. ‘Dabangg’ is the kind of film that will give me an opportunity to bring out the side of my personality no one has seen. What’s special about it is that it allows me to step out of normalcy and play a character that I’m not even close to in reality. I didn’t think that would happen in my first film itself, but it has. It’s the complete package that appealed to me. Right from the subject, to the director, to the banner! It’s like a home production!”

But wasn’t she worried about the ‘age difference’ factor between her and Salman? “The age difference is justified in the script itself. Besides, all the superstars today are in their 40s! The fact that they’ve survived this industry for so long makes them who they are. Deepika made her debut with Shah Rukh, Katrina’s churned out some hits with Akshay and Asin made her Hindi debut with Aamir. I wasn’t sceptical at all. People dream of debuting with stalwarts like these, I have no reason to complain!”

Another possible setback for a newcomer could be the fact that she’s playing a village girl. Going de-glam for your debut isn’t exactly the tried and tested way in Bollywood. But Sonakshi doesn’t really care, “In today’s time, what is safe? You can never tell which movie is going to run, for what reason, and for how long! Our audience has become extremely wise and yet unpredictable! And it’s my first film. Not my last. The character in this film requires me to be a certain way, in my next film it won’t! When I was modelling, the glamour quotient was very much present there, so people know that I can fit into both worlds with ease! I’m not missing out on anything. My journey’s just begun. Just because I’m not taking the route everyone would expect me to take, doesn’t mean I won’t get there!”

When it came to choosing her debut vehicle, she certainly did not take the route star kids usually take. She could have got her father to launch her; instead she chose to star in Arbaaz Khan’s home production. “My father is a self-made man. He had no godfather in this industry. I’d like to tread in his footsteps. Although I can’t do much about the footing he has in the industry, I can work around it to find my own. I already have the high expectations and comparisons to deal with so I’m glad I’m doing my first film with an outsider. It’s just more professional and won’t give people the chance to say that everything went her way. He’s my father and it’s obvious that he’ll always be there, whether he makes a film for me or not! That’s just something I won’t expect him to do or take for granted.”

But what about when it comes to working with her father, would she have inhibitions performing in front of him? She quickly dismisses this suggestion, “My father always used to say ‘Confidence thy name is Shatrughan Sinha’. Recently he’s started saying ‘Confidence thy name is Sonakshi Sinha’. I get that from him. He is my strength and my weakness! I would love to work with him. He is so full of insight and experience. If I had any inhibitions, he would help me lose them. If he saw my confidence flagging, he would give me one of his pep talks and bring it right up. I’m really looking forward to working with him at some point in my career.”

Clearly her father has a lot of advice to pass on to her, and the young actress is keen to absorb all the advice he has to offer. “My father loves the actor in him and is always telling us something or the other about acting. Especially now since Luv, Kush and I have chosen this as our careers. He wants us to do well and offers us whatever he can bring to the table in terms of experience and encouragement. He’s always been a people’s person and we’ve watched him deal with all sorts of people, even politically. We’ve paid attention to his ways right from the start and I think that’s helped tremendously to mould us into the people we are today – reflections of our father.”

So what was it like growing up with the famous Shotgun Sinha? “Growing up was the most normal experience for me. My brothers and I were never spoilt, never made to let the fact that our father is a superstar go to our heads. If we made a mistake, we paid for it, learnt from it and moved on. As much as our father pampered us, our mother made sure we stayed grounded and level-headed! Being the only daughter, I’m the apple of my father’s eye. I do tend to use that to my advantage and he knows it, but doesn’t seem to mind at all. Our relationship is the most easygoing and I love the fact that I see so much of him in me. I have to admit I haven’t seen all of my father’s films but whichever films I have seen, I would watch them over and over again because I was completely in awe of him, my father is my hero! ‘Kaala Patthar’, ‘Vishwanath’, ‘Kalicharan’, ‘Khudgarz’, ‘Khoon Bhari Maang’ are my favourites to date!”

Her father, however, is known to be pretty conservative. So when the question of intimate scenes comes up, Sonakshi gets her guard up. “Yes, my father is very conservative, but then so am I. There’s no rule stating that you can be glamorous only if you wear skimpy outfits, which I can confidently say, I won’t ever do. That’s just not me as a person and I don’t think I would want to do something that I’m not comfortable doing. The background I come from, I am answerable to a lot of people. My family name comes first and that’s that. I would not compromise on that for any reason whatsoever. And that’s the reason why every offer that comes my way is screened by my parents. If they think it’s suitable for me, only then does it come down to me. And I’m quite happy with the way it’s working out.”

What made her decide to shift to acting all of a sudden, was it the lifestyle or the fame and fortune? “I have never really done anything for a reason other than my interest in it. After modelling, acting beckoned in the form of an opportunity I did not want to miss a good script, talented director, and being cast opposite a superstar all rolled into one. Very few people get that opportunity. Most people go looking for it and here it happened to fall right into my lap. Who am I to foil destiny’s plan for me? As far as the lifestyle, money and fame is concerned, all that is so secondary at this stage in my life because I’ve been born into it. I’ve seen the fame, fortune and adulation thanks to my father. But since they do come along with the profession I’ve chosen, I’ll treat it as a bonus.”

Was acting something she had a natural inclination for, or did she have to work at it? “I never worked towards being an actress and I believe acting is something that can’t be taught. If you count the two years of hard work that went in to lose all the weight, and the hours at the gym I put in now to maintain it, then yes, it’s a lot of hard work. You have to look and feel your best so that your performance is not affected. Now that I’ve started shooting, I feel like the performance part of it was a natural inclination. I like the camera and I’ve been told that it likes me back, so things are looking good for me! Before giving my first shot, I had the same feeling before I stepped onto the catwalk for the first time—unfazed!”

Usually, debutants pursue filmmaking and assisting filmmakers before they start off. But Sonakshi never went down that road. “The question of learning filmmaking or assisting filmmakers never arose because the transition from fashion to cinema was so quick for me. I never intended to become an actor; it’s something that happened by chance! I studied what interested me at the time and that was fashion! After that came modelling and then the offers for movies from which I chose ‘Dabangg’! But yes, when it comes to acting, I do have my ideologies set. Acting is just behaving a certain way. I’ve learnt a lot just by observing people closely—their gestures, nuances, stances and attitudes. If you’re able to mix and match these and fit them to a character you’re playing, I believe you’re set.”

But what about those dance and diction classes? Weren’t they part of her preparations? “I love to dance. Luckily for me, I have been able to pick up things very quickly. So for the longest time I’ve been exploring different dance forms. Right from jazz, to hip hop, to Bollywood. I’ve also trained in Kathak for a year. Since the decision to become an actor was so sudden, there was no preparation involved. When I signed ‘Dabangg’, Abhinav, my director, would run me through the script and I had a very talented voice trainer, Ms Rama Vaidyanathan who I worked with for about two months before I started. They weren’t exactly diction classes, but she taught me how to control my voice, train it and deliver dialogues.”

For any newcomer, criticism can be a very scary word in the dictionary. Has her father inculcated the repercussions of coping with bouquets and at times, brickbats too? “Being born into a film family, I think we’re bred a little differently from most people. Our parents have been dealing with controversies, praises, link-ups, false information, and adulation right from the start so we’ve learnt how to take it in our stride and treat the good and the bad just the same! If one day someone’s writing good things about you, it would be foolish to get used to it and expect the same in the future because that rarely happens, and the same goes for the bad. The one thing my parents have always told me is to turn a deaf ear to the things that are being said about you and let your

work do the talking.”

As a child she probably had to face several such situations, what with her father’s constant link-ups. She insists though, that her parents didn’t let any rumours affect her life, “My childhood has been absolutely normal. In the younger years I was kept away from the goings on in the industry so I was pretty clueless. When I was old enough to understand the things that were being said about my father, I had learnt to take it in from one ear and out the other! My mother has stood by him and been exceptionally strong through everything that has been said and written about it. I’ve learnt how to do the same from her!”

Well, surprisingly she’s already had a tryst with the rumour mills. What with stories in the media claiming that she refused to walk the ramp with actress Neetu Chandra because she was a B-Grade actress. Clarifying this issue Sonakshi denies this point blank, “The designer who I was walking for had never even approached Neetu Chandra to walk for her so the question of me passing such a snide comment never even arose. People who know me, know that my upbringing is better than that to even say something so demeaning about anyone! I’ve never met Neetu and certainly have nothing against her! I think this was just a PR stunt being pulled off at my expense.”

Having been brought up amongst the industrywallahs, by now she’s probably well-versed with how the industry works. But she rubbishes this suggestion completely and retorts, “I sometimes feel like an outsider. I’ve been too sheltered and protected from the big bad world, but now I’m starting to figure things out as I’m stepping into it. You have to be thick-skinned and extremely strong emotionally if you want to be in this industry. More recently things have become more professional, which is a great thing to have happened. As far as the people are concerned there will always be people trying to pull you down, but you’ve got to have your blinders on and work towards the goal you’ve set for yourself. But then, this is the case in every walk of life.”

As far as friends in the industry are concerned, she claims that she doesn’t have many. “Most of them are acquaintances. And the few close friends I have from the industry are because we think alike or because of our family ties. I’m a very private person, and my lifestyle and temperament doesn’t match that of an average star son or daughter! I have my small set of friends, who I keep very close to me and am extremely content with them.

They’ve been around for the longest time and have grown up with me. They are the ones who have seen me grow as a person and are the ones who keep me grounded.” Elaborating a bit on her personality she explains that unlike the image people might have of her, she’s an extremely private person. “I like keeping to myself. People assume that coming from a film family, I probably follow their ways. Party all the time, socialise, wear only branded stuff, shop till I drop and stuff like that! But I’m completely the opposite. I go for parties only if I absolutely have to. Most media appearances I make are because I’m accompanying my parents to an event. Other than that I like staying home, meeting my small set of friends who have been around for the longest time, working out, watching movies, spending time on my computer, you know - the regular stuff!”

So according to her, is being a star daughter an advantage or a drawback? “It comes with its share of advantages and drawbacks. People, having seen my father on the silver screen for so long, obviously show some curiosity and enthusiasm for the next generation. Things definitely do come by much easier than they would normally. People know not to mess with you. The drawbacks are the heightened expectations, if which you don’t live up to, you’re a loser. Then come the comparisons in every aspect to your famous parents. Acting ability, personality, looks etc. those are definitely not easy to deal with when all you’re trying to do is find your own place and create an identity for yourself. How long can you be known as so and so’s daughter or son?”

Obviously her father’s fame cannot guarantee her success in Bollywood, so is she looking at modelling and designing as a back-up plan in case acting doesn’t work out? “I was actively involved in designing and modelling purely out of choice. Because I loved what I was doing. Right now I’m enjoying my first few steps as an actor immensely. Whatever I do, I drown myself into it and give it my best. I’ve chosen acting, and I see no reason for me not to do great guns! Once I’m done with acting, on my own terms and conditions, I will get back to designing. Not as a back-up, but because I want to!”

Competing with the likes of Asin, Deepika, Kareena, and Katrina, just surviving in the industry would be a task in itself. What is her plan of action to stand apart in the rat race? Brimming with self-confidence she replies, “I’ll survive exactly how Asin, Deepika, Kareena and Katrina survived in the time of their predecessors! Let’s not forget they were all new to the industry at one time. The Hindi film industry is vast and I believe there’s place for anyone who has their own individuality to bring to it. Every person contributes in their own different way and there’s only the audience to please. If they like you, nothing can stop you.”

Kick-starting her career with the Khans, does she think she’s in safe hands? “I couldn’t be in safer hands!” she exclaims, “Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail have tremendous respect for my father and have always treated me as a member of the family! I don’t believe I could’ve started off with a better production. They’re all so easygoing and amazing human beings. I’m completely at ease around them and I think that’s really important for a newcomer—the comfort level with her co-stars!”

Moving on to the future, I wonder if she has a favourite genre she is likely to stick to, but she denies it. “I don’t have any particular favourites! I would choose a movie based on the whole package. The script being most important! I would do a comedy and a thriller if the subjects were nice and strong! I’m only just beginning my career and have a lot to explore. So I don’t want to shut off any avenues just yet. As I start doing different movies, I’m sure I’ll figure out the things I’d like to do and those that I won’t, so until then, I’m open to everything! But ideally, an actor should be able to do everything that comes his way, so ultimately that’s what I’m going to strive for!”

Shatrughan Sinha and Amitabh Bachchan may have patched up recently, but the war between them was a much-publicised debacle. Would this come in the way of her working with the Bachchans in the future? “Why would it? Whatever happened was between them as individuals. We have been brought up to think for ourselves. To me they are all fabulous actors and it would be great to work with them!”

When I ask her to name some of the other actors she looks up to, she gives me a long list! “There are so many actors I like and for so many different reasons! Konkona Sen Sharma for being so effortlessly natural and her impeccable choice of movies. Salman Khan for being an excellent entertainer and simply being the amazing person he is! His sincerity reflects in his work! Hrithik Roshan just because he’s so, so good-looking and anyone who can dance like that makes it to my list! Kareena Kapoor because how she’s grown as an actress over the years amazes me! She’s always working on herself! Shah Rukh Khan for the powerhouse of energy and charm that he is! Ranbir Kapoor, Rani Mukherji, Akshaye Khanna, Vidya Balan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar... My list is pretty long!”

Before I sign off, I ask her to tell me the one most important decision she made that changed her life. Pat comes her reply, “Ha! Most people would probably think this is a difficult question, but it’s an easy one for me! The decision that changed my life was to lose weight! Once that happened, everything just fell into place. I was feeling so much more confident and content with myself and then followed modelling and acting! I’m not saying its really horrible being plump... I enjoyed my food. But nothing tastes as good as fit (fit not skinny) feels!”

Shazahn Padamsee Speak Out

Shazahn Padamsee Speak Out
Shahzahn Padamsee Speak Out

"Rocket Singh will make a huge difference to my ongoing career. It's a huge step for me and I'll only be doing films now. Films are what I'm concentrating on. This Friday will tell the story", says the confident Shazahn Padamsee. The road is just laid for the newbie to walk in the Bollywood domain. Here's another good-looking bit of fluff stealing another prime role but more importantly, through a combination of the usual luck and, above all, hard work and persistence, she's carved herself into a fine actress. For some, she came out of nowhere, for some she was a sudden revelation and off into the hands of Yash Raj Films. Now that's discovery.

Two years of auditions
"I've been auditioning for almost two to two and a half years now. So everybody thinks that Bollywood was going to be very easy for me. Also the fact that I'm Alyque Padamsee's daughter and Sharon Prabhakar's daughter, and hence I'll get in, were some of the insights thrown in. But you know what, no matter who your father or mother is, it all boils down to how you prepare and perform in your auditions. How you look and how close you are to the character that the director is looking for matters. If these three things fall in place, you are bound to get your dream role."

Casting for Rocket Singh

"Shimit Amin was very clear in what type of character he wanted and I'd describe him as a very realistic filmmaker. He wanted a very natural audition and I tried to give him what he wanted, thus getting the role. But it took a while for Shimit to decide that I'll be cast in Rocket Singh. That time really kills you. It was the toughest time of my life. It's like standing on the edge of the cliff. Either you're there or you'll fall off. But not only for Rocket Singh, for all the films I've auditioned for, its been a tough journey. Sometimes you are confirmed ninety nine percent for a certain project and the night after you're just dropped for some strange reason."

Aditya Chopra

"Adi Chopra is a lovely person and I respect him too much because it's a big thing for me to be working with a production house like Yash Raj Films. Everyone in my family is so proud of me. It's a big thing for us, especially from my father's side of the family. For them, I've dived straight into the pool of Bollywood. Everyone is really happy for me."

Competitive world

"In the world of competition, there is room for everyone and I'm coming in as a young actress. In Bollywood, the youngsters' bracket is still open. Unlike in Hollywood, where there are more than thirty five young actors. I just hope people appreciate us lot. From today's lot, the ones who are really promising are Imran Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone. I really like the way Deepika has gone about her career. She has also done a lot of adverts, commercials, fashion, etc. I hope to be a part of this bandwagon."

Not to be seen on the posters

"Adi Chopra and Shimit Amin are the ones who decide how the film is going to be promoted. I am very happy with what we've made. I am a part of the film; I have done my job and am very confident. I have just left myself in their hands. They are the ones who know what kind of a film it is and what kind of target audience it has. Why should I be concerned whether I am on the posters or not. It's their look out. Yash Raj Films have been the oldest production house in Bollywood and they know what they're doing."

Ranbir Kapoor - As A Person

"As a person, I have a lot of respect for Ranbir. He has just turned twenty seven and it's so good to see someone so young coming up so fast. He is becoming tomorrow's superstar. When you meet him, he is so down to earth and it's so nice for me because I come from a theatre background and suddenly getting thrown in films is a different game. Ranbir was there always. He has no ego issues at all. He will be seen chatting with the spot boys, hugging people, giving hi-five's, etc. I met him for the first time just a couple of days before the film shoot started."

Rocket Singh - Film

"I cannot reveal too much about Rocket Singh but all I can say is that it's a great film. Shimit has put his heart and soul into this film and so has Adi Chopra. Rocket Singh is going to be a great film because it is very very different. The advantage is that this film hasn't got any genre. That's the reason it'll work."

Favourite Yash Raj Film

"My favourite Yash Raj film is Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge. I've seen it too many times. I think the Indian Government should come out with a stamp of the film. It's still running and it's crazy."

Alyque Padamsee - Father

"My father is very very protective about me. But at the same time he is someone who is extremely open minded too. So I've got a very nicely balanced father. I can do what I want and not be scared about him. I can talk to him about anything like two friends who are talking. I never hide anything from my parents. He has my best interest at heart. He will always call me up to find out what's happening. He helps me out in rehearsing scenes. He will call me up and come over from the town to the suburbs only to rehearse the scene with me. Not to forget, his Hindi is atrocious. He will always make me understand what the emotion is rather than understand the language."

Sharon Prabhakar - Mother

"I call my mother my 'momager'. She is my mom and manager combined. I love her to bits because she has literally given up everything to make sure that I come on the top. She will not rest till she sees me climb the ladder of success and I guess the time has come. Of course, she does keep herself busy by doing plays. But she is a super mom and she is just a darling."
