Shruti Haasan Interview
Shruti Haasan Interview
Shruti HaasanShruti says music is her passion and that is what she lives for. Lead vocalist of Extramentals, Shruti and her boys rocked the crowd at the Hard Rock Café recently, and were met with wolf whistles and a helluva lot of head banging. Hailing from the prestigious Musicians Institute in Hollywood, she says that the school is a haven for budding musicians and will remain one of her most cherished experiences till date. It was when she was living in Los Angeles that the acting bug bit Shruti. It was then that she decided to come back and make her mark as an actress as well.
What kind of acting advice do her parents give her? “I don’t think you can really tell someone how to act. That being said, my parents do tell me what may or may not work. I’m my own master though,” says she.
Initially slotted to make her debut opposite Madhavan in Endredrum Punnagai, the actress opted out due to date hassles and chose Soham Shah’s Luck as her launch vehicle. Even though her film with Maddy didn't work out, Shruti says she is glad about the experience and is looking forward to working with him in the near future.

Celina is agitated about Baba Ramdev's sexist comments
Celina Jaitly is peeved with yoga exponent Baba Ramdev for making lewd comments about her personal life as she has been espousing gay rights. In a recent media interview, Ramdev has questioned the way Celina keeps changing her partners every month and how this is all because she doesn't stay with her parents.
The actress says, "I thought Baba was a brahamachari. For a person like him to keep tabs on my so-called monthly changing of partners and living away from parents so that I can be promiscuous is amazing. For any brahamachari 'ladki maa samaan hoti hai', however he is the first Baba who seems to know more than me about my sex life."
She adds, "He says that I know nothing about bharatiya sanskriti! I would really like to ask him is it 'bharatiya sanskriti ke sanskaar' which promoted a great brahamachari like him to pass personal sexual comments on a respectable single girl just because she is an actor and a human rights activist."
The actress points out, "He has unfortunately tried to do what the Kauravas did to Draupadi in front of the whole court vastraharan! No assult on my character will deter me from this cause that I have taken up. I wanted the whole world to know the only argument a so-called yogi can come up with is a character assault and nothing else."

Rape-tainted Shiney Ahuja to stay in jail
In what comes as a huge setback for rape accused Bollywood actor Shiney Ahuja, a sessions court in Mumbai on Wednesday (July 8) rejected his bail application, after arguments posed by the prosecution and defence counsel concluded yesterday. The actor will now continue to remain in judicial custody till July 16.
This order from the court comes after repeated demands were made by the prosecution for some more time to investigate the case and gather evidence. The prosecution also said that the accused is capable of influencing the case and the witnesses, hence bail should not be granted to him.
However, soon after the order, the defence counsel remained mum. But sources have said that the defence is likely to appeal in the high court.
Terming the rape charge against him by his maid servant as "concocted", incarcerated actor Shiney Ahuja pleaded for bail yesterday but the police opposed it saying the accused might intimidate her if he is released.
Ahuja was arrested on June 15 after his 20-year-old maid accused him of raping her in his Oshiwara home. The actor is currently lodged at the Central Prison on Arthur Road and his judicial custody has been extended till July 16.

Malayam film star Mohanlal is the Indian Army's latest brand ambassador. He will be given the rank of Lt Col in the Territorial Army in New Delhi on Thursday. He exclusively spoke to CNN-IBN about turning Lieutenant Colonel Mohanlal.CNN-IBN: You always wanted to be a part of the Army since your childhood?
Mohanlal: Not exactly. Surprisingly in my neighbourhood, my friend Veenu used to sketch lot of pictures inspired from the Army, Air Force and Navy. When I was a child, I used to go, sit and look at those.
CNN-IBN: What do you think a Mohanlal, a celebrity can bring into the Indian Army?
Mohanlal: The thing is that they asked me to be the brand ambassador of the Army. It in itself is a great honour. Being an actor I have visited Delhi many a times, I had been in the Capital for my Padmashree, receiving my Best Actor, Best Producer awards. But this is a very rare thing, or rare an occasion.
CNN-IBN: At 17 when you started off with films, did you ever expect that it's going to come this far?
Mohanlal: I never plan or expect things. This is definitely a gift from the almighty and this is a great honour. Indian Army is honouring me with the Lieutenant Colonel Post.

When My Name Is Khan left Karan Johar stressed out
After making candy floss romances, Karan Johar is dealing with serious issues in his My Name Is Khan, which brings Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol together on screen after a long time. Though he is excited about presenting a different side of Shah Rukh Khan, making the film did turn unpleasant when actor Aamir Bashir was denied a visa to the US.
Ques: You could make a film on the things that happened during your Los Angeles schedule of My Name Is Khan.
Karan Johar: Besides normal problems, there were unforeseen problems. Thank god for my fabulous technical team. Without them I could never make my film the way I want to. Yes, there was stress.
Ques: There were visa problems for some Muslim members of your cast?
Karan Johar: Yes, there were problems. We had certain legal issues. We had to make some changes to accommodate the developments. They were sorted out. I believe in completely going by the law of every land. That's what we did in LA when troubles arose.
Ques: Was Aamir replaced by Jimmy Sheirgil after a great deal of deliberation?
Karan Johar: Yes, we did have to do some serious re-thinking. I spoke to my casting director Shanu Sharma for immediate release. I was very happy to have Jimmy Sheirgil on board. I had done his clothes for Aditya Chopra's Mohabbatein. So I know him from his debut. It was unfortunate that things didn't work out with Aamir Bashir. Like Jimmy, he was terrific in A Wednesday. I look forward to working with him some other time.
Ques: Were you upset with Aamir Bashir for going to the press about the visa problem?
Karan Johar: I don't blame anyone for the situation. I don't see why the issue had to be reported so prominently in the Indian media. It complicated things for me. If creating hurdles for a filmmaker on a difficult foreign location makes news, so be it. It constantly kept creating stress for me.
Ques: Was it a painful experience to shoot in LA?
Karan Johar: In all my 11 years as a filmmaker, I've never felt the experience to be so different. Content-wise My Name Is Khan is diametrically opposite to whatever I've done in the past. You know, on the very first day of shooting my cameraman Ravi Chandran looked at me and said, 'I don't think you've ever shot something like this.'
It is for the first time I'm directing a screenplay I haven't written myself. This gives me a level of detachment from the proceedings and yet a lot of attachment. It has released a plethora of unexplored emotions in my head.
This time I'm being creative in a different ways. And Shah Rukh plays a completely different human being ... I've never directed that person before. It took a few days for all of us to get into the groove. How this exploration of a new territory will turn out, no one knows.
