Ash wont do any more Item Number, even for Abhishek

Ash is turning out to be a really docile Bahu for Bachchan clan. Gone are her Dhoom 2 days when she flaunted skin with an aplomb. We hear that queen bee have been regularly rejecting offers on the grounds of excessive exposure including the one from Karan johar. And now the buzz is Ash has refused an item number even in Goldie Behl’s ‘Drona’ which stars her husband Abhishek in the lead role. Behl had plans to rope in Ash for an item number in the film though Priyanka Chopra is the lead heroine for Drona. But Ash reportedly put down both the director and her hubby. Considering the fact that Ash’s kitty is now filled with some prestigious projects and international films like Pink Panther 2, it is not surprising that the former Miss World quietly refused the offer from Behl rendering more importance to her individual career than wanting to add zing to Abhishek’s film. Goldie and Abhishek have now reportedly approached Bipasha Basu for the item number.

'Dard-e-Disco is a dumb song'

If you see Dhol and the other all-boys' comedies, you would agree dumbing -down is the order of the Friday.

Nevertheless Javed Akhtar's rhyming scheme in the track Dard-e-disco in Om Shanti Om comes as a bit of a shocker.

The lyric goes, " Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco…. Phirta hoon main New York, Paris, LA, San Francisco…Dil mein mere hai dard-e-disco…Wohchhod gaya mujhe peechle mahiney ke 26 taarikh ko…Dil Mein mere hai dard-e-disco …

Er…. . It's the time to disco for Javed Saab. After Gulzar's dime-store prattle in Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom it's the the other bard's turn to get verse.

Laughs Javed Saab, "You must understand every song in a film has to go with the given situation and character. The dumbing-down, as you call it, in Dard-e-disco comes from the fact that the guy who sings it, a is a bit of silly goose, not exactly intellectually equipped to sprout poetry.

In the film-within-a-film in Om Shanti Om it's shown that the hero (played by Shah Rukh) insists that an absurd song be composed for him to sing and dance on stage.

While writing lines I had to constantly keep reminding myself that the song wasn't for Shah Rukh but the character that the Star plays in a film within the film. We had to constantly keep checking my poetry to make sure it didn't sound intelligent. Every time I'd come up with a poetic image I'd be shouted down. "

We've had instances of lyricists trying to sound more poetic than they are capable of being. This is the first occasion when a poet actually had to scale down his skills to accommodate the character's intellect.

Bipasha Basu very upset by Randeep

Bipasha and John have been shooting non-stop for Vivek Agnihotri's Goal at Nitin Desai's studio in Karjat. And so has Randeep Hooda for Ketan Mehta's Rang Rasiya.

He almost collided with the couple earlier this week when he drove his car at top speed inside the studio compound.

Grumbles Bipasha, "And then they write that I was admiring the man's driving! Am I mad to admire such rash driving?

To begin with, I don't know Randeep at all. Someone drove rashly, scaring the hell out of me, John and our respective staff. At the time it happened we had no clue where that came from. We came to know later who it was.

At that time I was very angry with the person driving the car, not admiring him, as reported in a daily. I'm not too fond of drivers who use the roads like their personal kingdom. I don't think it's right to drive like crazy, specially in a crowded place where people are shooting a film. I think anyone does so, should apologize. "

Randeep isn't in the mood to oblige.

'Nobody got physical with me!'

Saif has just completed a grueling schedule of Yashraj Films' Tashan in Ladakh.

He returns to stories in Mumbai about getting into a 'scuffle' over Kareena with rowdy fans in Ladakh.

Says Saif, "That's not quite correct. Yes, there was an unpleasant incident. But it didn't end with me getting physical with anyone."

So what happened? "Some guy wanted to shake hands with Kareena. The lady didn't want to. We requested the 'fan' to respect her feelings. The guy chose to get offended and called five of his friends."

Ever since Saif and Kareena came together for J.P. Dutta's LOC they've shared a very special bonding.

So it comes as no surprise if Saif stepped in to rescue Kareena from aggressive fan attention.

However before anything untoward could happen in Ladakh , Saif and the Tashan team called security.

Laughs Saif, "If they were 5, we called 11 persons from security. For a while there was a loud and heated argument in Marathi, and that was that.

However let me repeat, I didn't have to resort to physical violence to protect the lady. The security intervened quickly."

Incidentally Saif has grown a moustache for his role in Tashan. "It's part of that discipline I've acquired during Omkara. There, I was so apprehensive about shaving off my head.

Once I got over the typical star-vanity of looking glamorous I realized a physical makeover makes a helluva difference to the characterization. Watch out for more of Saif's altered physicality in his coming films.

I'm not jealous of Malaika's success

Arbaaz and and his high-profile wife Malaka Arora are finally working together in Kannada filmmaker Indrajit Lankesh's first Hindi film.

Says Arbaaz, "I play the lead in Lankesh's film Shaadi Ke After-effects Malaika does an intem song with me. Though my wife in the film is played by Tara Sharma I loved being on screen with Malaika."

After the success of the film and his role in Shootout At Lokhandwala, Arbaaz is looking forward to Lankesh's film. "After Shootout… I am glad to be in a light-hearted film, on the lines of The Seven-Year Itch. I'm trying to change my image with this film.

I'm tired of being known as a serious guy. Close friends like Sajid Khan know me as a very funny guy. Lankesh's comedy is the story of a married guy with a roving eye. I dance and sing with Malaika in a dream song."

A situation Arbaaz would never be. Though he plays a jealous and possessive husband in Hansal Mehta's Woodstock Villa, Arbaaz Khan is anything but that in real life.

"I'm quite comfortable being the husband of a woman who's a big celebrity. And of course a superstar's brother. It's not an enviable place to occupy. But it's the reality. I'm very closely related to two very successful people, and I accept that happily."

It's not easy having a superstar-brother (Salman) and a stunningly beautiful wife Malaika. "But I don't fight their presence in my life. I know their celebrity status is a reality in my life. I'm very closely connected to two very successful people.

But I love my brother and my wife so much that I want them to grow from strength to strength. And though Salman is where he is on his own, I'd like to take some credit for where Malaika are. We've been together for fourteen years. Even before she was my wife and the mother of child I was very encouraging and supportive.

I've always encouraged her to work. I've always believed, if you love someone then let that person occupy the space that makes her happy. That in turn, brings you tremendous happiness." In public Arbaaz always has to take a second position to his glamorous wife. Ask him if he minds.

"Not at all. It's so strange. Before marriage people want everyone to look at their girlfriends. But after marriage they want to keep their wives locked way. I'm as proud of Malaika today as I was before we got married."

He sighs and then says, "All you need to do is be sensible about life and what it offers. By allowing yourself to get upset over matters such as these, you're only encouraging negativity to creep into your marriage."

He says he's clearly a better father than a husband. "You go through so many roles in life. I may or may not have disappointed Malaika as a boyfriend and a husband, but not as the father of her child. I know for sure my son will grow up one day to say I was a great dad."

Arbaaz is happy looking after their son when Malaika is working. "We want a baby girl in the near future…maybe next year. Right now we both have professional commitments to keep us busy. Life is such today that couples have to plan their baby for the right time."

As an actor Arbaaz feels charged and ready to start a new phase in his career. "I feel I wasn't focused enough. I've now taken the reins in my hand. I'm giving my hundred percent to my career. If I fail I won't have any regrets."
