Bipasha Basu: "Those dirty hooligans who apparently molested two women on New Year's day should be punished so severely that no pervert would dare to try these dirty ugly acts ever again.
The offenders should be tracked down and disciplined publicly. I've been a single woman in Mumbai and used to be proud of the city.
But cheap and filthy men like the ones who struck on New Year's day are destroying the city's safe reputation.
And why should only cops be responsible for the law and order? Even the man on the road should help in such a situation. Ultimately it's the people who define a city.
Shabana Azmi: "Take Back The Night was a slogan coined by a the women's movement to demand basic security for women. Every rule of civilized society demands that security should be provided for women.
We used to pride ourselves on Mumbai being a safe city. Surety of punishment for the offenders is a more effective deterrent than the severity of punishment."
Vaibhavi Merchant: "Going to any public place on 31 st December is scary specially in Mumbai. This incident only verifies my worst fears about the city.
Only the cops can keep the city safe. It's really sad the such an incident went unnoticed. They should've thrashed the shit out of those drunken louts.
However Mumbai cannot be called unsafe because of some hooligans.This incident should serve as a wakeup-call for 2009.
It's not a geographical issue. Disgraceful people like these molestors make the world an unsafe place. I pray these offenders are caught and punished severely.My heart goes out to both the couples.
Hema Malini: "I thought Mumbai was the safest city in the world. This incident has shocked me. Those men should be punished right away, and that too in public. And the cops how did they allow it happen?
I feel parents with daughters should be careful on nights like these when men are drunk.
Malaika Arora: "I've always considered Bombay to be a safe place for women. But not any longer. I'm sure most women in the city feel the same way after the shocking barbaric incident.
Mahesh Bhatt: "Mumbai has always been unsafe. My wife was once molested way back in the 1980s and had to fight her way out of a mob. The media is now spotlighting the average Indian's repressed sexuality.
Arbaaz Khan: "Mumbai is surely one of the safest cities in the world. However some recent incidents are alarming and cause for worry."
Raveena Tandon: "I wouldn't say Mumbai is completely unsafe. But it's getting there. The authorities should punish the offenders so severely that it sets an example for future. No one should dare to do what happened with those two women on New Year's.
Nobody is safe anywhere. All us showbiz girls like Bipasha, Tanushree and Celina are out of towners. No matter how much security we have we're still not safe.
We really need much harsher punishments for eveteasers. Punish them so hard, cut off their limbs, so they wouldn't dare to misbehave with women again."
Amrita Arora: "I think New Years nite is pretty unsafe. People are drunk and behave in a weird manner. There must be much more cops and security in crowded places during such occasions."
Priyanka (Nisha) Kothari: "That such a thing can happen in Mumbai is really shocking.. One always thought the city was absolutely safe for girls. But I don't feel the same way any more."

Bollywood actress and former Miss World Priyanka Chopra is all set to become a super heroine character in comic books, games and animation films through Virgin Comics.
For the comic book series, to be launched in 2008, Priyanka will team up with well-known author Deepak Chopra and filmmaker Shekhar Kapur.
The new role will make Priyanka the first winner of a Miss World crown to feature as a super heroine character in comic books.
"I love cartoons and animation, so being able to create my own original super heroine with Virgin Comics is a dream come true. I hope it will capture the imagination of the Indian youth," Priyanka said about the venture.
Announcing the launch before a select gathering in Mumbai Wednesday night, Sharad Devarajan, CEO, Virgin Comics said: "Priyanka is a real-life heroine who embodies both sophistication and beauty.
Together, we plan to create a new super heroine character that will capture her spirit and carry forward Virgin Comics' mission of redefining the Indian character entertainment industry."
Virgin Comics president Suresh Seetharaman said it would be developed across other platforms, including animation games and theatrical live-action films. "It promises to be an exciting and fun entertainment character cutting across age barriers," he said.
Virgin Comics was founded by Sir Richard Branson in 2005. Apart from Priyanka, it is developing new stories with acclaimed filmmakers, actors and musicians like John Woo, Guy Ritchie, Terry Gilliam, Dave Steward, Ed Burns, Nicholas Cage, Duran Duran and Sachin Tendulkar.

Pinky pink: The actress, who made her debut with the movie 'Refugee' remains one of the most sought-after actresses despite not having many hits to her credit. Majority of her films have done better at the overseas box office than they did in India.
Cool as water: After giving a sexy and sensational item number in the recent movie ‘Don’ Kareena is now happy doing only selected films.
Lately, Vidya Balan has earned a reputation for getting into controversies over refusal of roles or disagreeing with costume designers.
She had a huge problem with Aki Narula’s clothes while shooting
Says Vidya, "Such things happen. It's not a big deal. I don't know why the media went ballistic about it. Aki left the clothes and came away to India. I didn't like some of the clothes because I felt that they didn't go with the character. So, I went to shop on my own. That was fun."
In Sajid Khan's Heyy Babyy too Vidya received a lot of flak for her styling skills.
But this time her designer Manish Malhotra took the entire responsibilty and even sent a message apologising for going wrong with her look in the film.
However Vidya holds no grudges. “The onus isn’t his alone. He sent me a very sweet message saying, ‘I’m sorry I messed up. I hope we get another opportunity.’ He needn’t have apologised. He got a lot of flak for my look. So did I. I accept the criticism as much as I accept all the praise that comes my way”
Vidya is sure she can break free of the sari mould to look Western. Her new shoulder length hairdo makes her look breathtakingly glamorous. She seems to have suddenly stepped out of the Parineeta era into the contemporary world.
She has also shed a lot of weight in the recent past as well.
"I think I had allowed things to drift. I should have looked after myself more. But it's fine now. I am gyming a lot now and keeping as fit as a fiddle," she tells with a broad smile.

At 20, Kangana has acquired some unusual reading habits. "I'm currently reading the thoughts of Swami Vivekand. He prescribes restraint for a fruitful life. So I'm off spicy food and off any thoughts of a boyfriend. I believe restraint is much more important in life than 
Not that she has much a chance to be hedonistic right now. Kangana was tricked by her family into visiting her home town Bhambla (Himachal Pradesh). "I was told to immediately come and see my 100-year old great grandfather.
I presumed the worst and immediately left my dubbing for Anurag Basu's Metro to attend to my great-grandfather (my father's grandfather) only to be told that the old man is fine. They just wanted me to visit him."
"He wasn't talking or eating much. Since I was his favourite great grand-daughter my father immediately called me. So here I am, taking an unscheduled holiday much to Anurag Basu's annoyance. Unfortunately my sister isn't allowed to fly because of her health problems. I had to leave her behind in Mumbai with my best friend."
In Metro Kangana is dubbing her own lines. "That's a relief after Shaka Laka Boom Boom. When I heard an alien voice speaking for me I lost all self-confidence. In Metro I speak my own lines…and sport a completely different look."
In Metro Kangana's character has an affair with an older man (K.K Menon). In real life she has no such aspirations. "It's very embarrassing to be linked with men who are much older. Please, when I do have a boyfriend he'd be someone I can look in eye, not look up to."
Kangana is a voracious foodie and one of the reasons she enjoys being at her home is the cuisine. "My mother and aunts are cooking my favourite food. And I feel so pampered.
In Mumbai you're not only alone there's no one to give you a tablet if you're ill. That's why I've persuaded my sister to stay with me in Mumbai. The city can be really cold and hostile to outsiders."

Deepika has been depicted as a 1970s superstar Shantipriya and later as Sandy in the movie Om Shanti Om.
Born on January 5, 1986 in Mangalore, Karnataka, Deepika has been modelling appearances in print and television advertising campaigns for Liril soap, Limca, Close Up toothpaste receiving many prestigious modelling offers, including brand ambassadorship of the Jewels of India, an annual jewellery exhibition.
Deepika went into the international scene when Maybelline made her the new international cover girl face.
At the fifth annual Kingfisher Fashion Awards, for Indian models and designers, Deepika was awarded the title of Model of the Year. Shortly after that, Deepika was chosen as one of the models for the Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar for 2006, thus cementing her reputation as a supermodel.
She also bagged two trophies at the Idea Zee Awards in 2006 - Female Model of the year (Commercial Assignments) and Fresh Face of the year.
Like many successful models before her, Deepika chose the Indian film industry as a career. She started by starring in the music video for Naam Hai Tera a song from the pop album Aap Ka Suroor, by Himesh Reshammiya .
Deepika recently made her cinematic debut in a Kannada film, ‘Aishwarya’, directed by Indrajit Lankesh co-starring Upendra . The film is a box-office success and Deepika has received rave reviews for her screen presence.
In Bollywood, Deepika has already signed Priyadarshan 's next ‘Pirate’, and ‘Made In China’ opposite Akshay Kumar .
‘Om Shanti Om’ is to be released on November 9, 2007.
Since Love Story 2050 is her good friend Harman Baweja's debut film did Priyanka Chopra put in that extra mile for it?
"Oh I put in lots of extra miles in all my roles. For the first time in Indian cinema you'll see the concept of time travel. And working with robots was very cool. Love Story 2050 is very Indian at the same time very futuristic. "
Harman says Priyanka helped him with his scenes.
"Well, yes, "concedes Priyanka."Being a senior I gave him whatever support I could. But let me tell you, if I'm more experienced in front of the camera he's far more experienced behind the camera. He has been part of the movie-making process assisting his dad for almost fifteen years. So I guess we both learnt from each other."
Initially Priyanka was apprehensive about how well she would match Harman on screen."I've known Harman for a very long time. He knows so much about cinema.
But he was completely raw to acting. So I wanted to do my best to make him feel comfortable. I remember how helpful everyone was when I did my first film The Hero."
Talk veers to her family. Is Priyanka's dad cutting a music album?
Priyanka says it's been in the pipeline for a long time. "He has been working on it for a long time.
Then he fell ill. And the album went on the backburner. I'd love to be part of it, though I don't think I'll sing in it."
Priyanka loves to sing and would some day like to cut her own album. "But I don't think I'm ready for it yet. Singing professionally would require a lot more practice than I can muster right now. Right now I'd rather focus on my career."
She has three releases coming up. "Until November I've Drona, Love Story 2050 and God Tussi Great Ho. The third would probably be my first release now. Salman and I make a great pair. And he's so funny in the film. The chemistry between Salman and Sohail is so fantastic."
Both Drona and Love Story 2050 have loads of special effects."But while Drona is a super-hero film, Love Story 2050 is basically a love story. Both have been fun to shoot in different ways.
I had to sport two different looks in Love Story…. I've been in fantasy-spectacles before…Krissh and Don belong to that genre. It's not as if I'm choosing these spectacles. What I look for are projects beyond the conventional."
Priyanka is hoping the three releases this year would take her career further."I may have had some hiccups lately. But on the whole I think I'm on the right track."
Two big ambitious projects are ready to hit box-office this festive season. SRK and Farah Khan’s
For ‘Om Shanti Om’, everyone is quite aware of SRK’s shirtless ‘Dard-e-disco’ and flaunting six-pack abs. And For ‘Saawariya’, there is a rumour going round that RK Banner’s next big hope, Ranbir Kapoor, will be seen prancing around in a see-through white towel (how RK-ish, remember all those RK heroines wet and white?).
Both the movies have a new female face and where Sonam Kapoor was forbidden to show her face before SLB gave the green signal, Shah Rukh’s co-star Deepika Padukone’s celebrity face
both the directors have kept mum about their basic storyline. Only producer SRK and director Farah Khan are so friendly and fun-loving and Bhansali is so brusque and bristly that one tends to put them both in different categories.
Hmmm.. whatever marketing strategies maye be, with Ranbir Kapoor’s butt versus SRK’s shirtless abs, Bollywood Box Office is all ready this festive season for some good fireworks

Bollywood Item Girl Rakhi Sawant said in an interview that she is happy about Sanjay Dutt's Arrest and everyone in the Bollywood knows that this arrest is reasonable. She added that people in
Rakhi Sawant challenged that no one has the guts to ask her why she said like this.
Rakhi Sawant, the bollywood celebrity who has been very famous among bollywood celebrities due to her sexy dance numbers, celebrity controversy, rumors has commented on many other bollywood celebrities in the past which also includes Amitabh Bachchan.
When Rakhi found that she might get into some kind of trouble for giving such a daredevil interview, she tried to change her statement saying that she did not say such things about Sanjay Dutt. All she said was that the guilty must be punished.
Be it the softly romantic 'Pyar hua iqraar hua' from Sri 420 or the frankly sensual 'Aaj rapat jayen' from Namak Halaal, rain songs have been a constant in Bollywood films down the ages. Here, stars and directors list their favourites:
Hema Malini: I'll choose one of my own songs. It will have to be 'Rama rama gazab' from Naya Zamana. It was a scene where this rich girl gets in a folk costume and sings and dances in the rain with the folks in the basti. I loved the simplicity and grace of the moment. And it was filmed with great dignity.
Shabana Azmi: 'Pyar hua iqraar hua' from Sri 420. It contains the iconic image of Nargis singing to Raj Kapoor with her entire soul embodied under the umbrella as the three little kids (actually, Raj Kapoor's real-life children) pass by.
Urmila Matondkar: 'Pyar hua iqraar hua' in Sri 420 had an unforgettable melody by Shankar-Jaikishan, truly sensuous sung by Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar and great chemistry between Raj Kapoor and Nargis. I also love my own 'Geela geela pani' from 'Satya'. Lataji's voice, Vishal Bharadwaj's composition and Gulzar saab's lyrics soak you in ravishing rain even if you are perched in a parched desert.
Alka Yagnik: 'Rimjhim ke geet saawan gaye' by Lataji and Mohammad Rafi saab in Anjana and my own 'Tip tip barsa pani' from Mohra, for different reasons - first one because it's the height of romance and the other because it's very seductive.
Bappi Lahiri: My favourite rain song is 'Aaj rapat jayen' from Namak Halaal because Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) and Smitaji (Smita Patil) danced so well in the rain. I also like 'Tip tip barish' from Afsana Pyar Ka where Aamir Khan stood the whole night in the rain singing to his beloved. Very romantic!
Vipul Shah: 'Pyar hua iqrar hua' from Sri 420 because it's romantic and sexy, and still not vulgar.
Aftab Shivdasani: 'Tip tip barsa pani' from Mohra, I had loved it on the audio. I loved it even more when I saw it on screen featuring Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon.
Mahesh Bhatt: It will have to be 'Dil tera diwana hai sanam'. The black and white film Dil Tera Diwana, which I saw in primary school, still twinkles in my mind. It was a great tune by Shankar-Jaikishan. And there were super performances by Shammi Kapoor and Mala Sinha soaked in rain and marinated in the spice of nostalgia.
Pritam Chakbraborty: 'Rimjhim gire sawan' in Manzil. I love the song. Awesome composition by Rahul Dev Burman, fabulous lyrics by Yogesh and terrific singing by Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar. And it was shot on Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee on Marine Drive. I loved the chemistry between them. I also like 'Dilbara' from Dhoom because it's my tune and I like how Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra and Esha Deol romp in the rain.
Zayed Khan: It would have to be 'Kaate nahin kat-te yeh din yeh raat' from Mr. India. It had Sridevi in a wet blue chiffon sari at her sensuous best. She projected the quintessential Indian woman. Simply super!
Rahul Bose: Sridevi in 'Kate nahin kat-te yeh din yeh raat' gave an entirely new definition to the 'blue wet Indian clingy sari' trick. She was in splendid form. Pure magic. And the rains did the rest.
Rituparno Ghosh: 'Chotisi kahani se, baarishon ke paani se' in the film Ijaazat. Gulzar bhai has written other rain songs like 'Barse phuhar' in 'Thodisi Bewafaii' and 'Phirse aayo barda bidesi' in Namkeen. But the 'Ijaazat' song remains special. It defined the entire mood of the film. I wish I could've used it in my own film Raincoat.
Madhur Bhandarkar: My favourite rain song is 'Rimjhim gire saawan' from Manzil. It has an earthy aromatic feel to it and has been shot candidly in the streets of Mumbai.
Aadesh Shrivastava: 'Bheegi-bheegi raaton mein' from Ajnabee sung by Kishore da and Lata Mangeshkar. What I like the most about the song is the on-screen pair Rajesh Khanna and Zeenat Aman.
Manoj Bajpai: 'Rim-jhim gire sawan' in Manzil. It's simple yet sensuous. I don't like in-the-face sensuality. I don't think we can capture that mood ever again. We aren't that simple any longer.
David Dhawan: 'Hai hai yeh majboori' in Roti Kapda Aur Makaan. Laxmikant-Pyarelal's tune, Lataji's singing, Zeenat Aman on screen and Manoj Kumar's direction. What else?
Raveena Tandon: 'Ab ke sawan' by Shubha Mudgal. It has amazing energy. And it immediately makes me want to get wet and wild in the rain. 'Lagi aaj sawan ki phir vo jhadi hai' in Chandni when the rain makes me mellow moody and romantic.
Rajit Kapur: 'Rimjhim gire sawan' - it's a brilliant composition, serene and sensuous, fragrant and romantic, and to this day, as fresh as the first showers.
Sammir Dattani: I've three favourite rain songs from three eras. I love 'Tip tip baarish shuroo ho gayi' from Afsana Pyar Ka. As kids we all loved to get wet and sing this number because it was so easy to sing. My second favourite is 'Lagi aaj sawan ki Phir vo jhadi hai' from Chandni. It's filled with romance and nostalgia and Sridevi was so dignified in the rain. Finally, my new favourite rain song is 'Barso re megha' from Guru. For one reason only - Aishwarya Rai.
