Bipasha’s unprofessional act

Bipasha Basu
Bipasha Basu opted out at a last minute from a Diwali special show for a television channel, when she learnt that there is no other cine star making appearance on the show. She was supposed to perform on the Diwali special named Diwali Mela Dilon Ka to promote her upcoming film All the Best. Ajay Devgan, her co-star from All The Best and also the director Rohit Shetty were part of the program, but only Bipasha had to perform. So the actress ditched the show.
A source from channel said, “Everything was set for the Diwali special, scripts were ready and the sets were done too. And although she had agreed initially, Bipasha changed her mind in the end. She felt that an actress of her calibre was only meant for the silver screen, and TV was only for those who were insecure about their career in Bollywood.”
On the other hand, Bips says, “I have never heard about this show.”
The show is kind a twelve days festival and big names from TV shows and serials are participating in it. Rajeev Khandelwal and Shweta Gulati are also part of it.
The unprofessional act is not new from Bipasha, as last year also she back out from The Unforgettables tour at last minute

40 Actors to pay homage to Big B before his birthday tomorrow

Bollywood biggie Mr. Amitabh Bachchan will turn 67 tomorrow. Mr. Bachchan will also complete 40 years in the film industry. On this occasion, some personalities from the film industry are busy preparing a tribute to him. Producers of his forthcoming film Rann, Sheetal Talwar and Madhu Mantena decided to make his birthday special so they have arranged a special event at 7 pm on the eve of his birthday. There will be forty actors sporting Big B’s memorable characters and mouthing famous dialogues from his film. Mr. Bachchan is invited for the event; meanwhile he doesn’t know that it is tribute to him. Instead he believes that it is something for the promotional event for the film Rann.
All the forty actors who are also fans of Mr. Bachchan are all excited to perform in front of him. Mr. Bachchan’s characters from films like Zanjeer, Sholay, Deewar, and Black are part of the tribute. However it will conclude with his political character from Sarkar.
Confirming it, co-producer Talwar said, “Mr. Bachchan’s 40-year-old journey in Hindi cinema is exceptional in every sense. He started his career with Saat Hindustani in 1969 and that’s where our staged homage begins.”
So bringing together 40 people must be tedious task? “It wasn’t difficult at all. All we did is spread the word about us planning a clones’ tribute to the superstar for his birthday. We were flooded with requests from dozens of artistes who wanted to play the characters in front of Mr. Bachchan. We sifted through the legion of applicants to shortlist the ones who fitted the bill,” said Talwar.
“Mr. Bachchan thinks we’re inviting him to an event related to Rann. He doesn’t know about the homage yet,” adds Sheetal.
We hope Mr. Bachchan will really enjoy it.
