Salman Khan, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukerji at HDIL Couture Week 2010 - Photos, Video

Exclusive Watch: Bollywood beauties on the ramp for Salman Khan

Katrina heats up Salman's fashion show

    Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif might not be a couple anymore, but she's still there for him when it comes to supporting his charity. Kat joined B'wood's hottest women - Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu - on the ramp for Salman's Being Human show at HDIL Couture Week.

    Also on the ramp were Karisma Kapur Priety Zinta and Sushmita Sen. All the stars wore Manish Malhotra's creations and diamond jewllery by Forevermark.

    The theme for the show was 'Fashion Throughout the Ages', with each era of the Hindi film industry defined.
    Before the actresses walked down the ramp, a short audio-visual was screened on the particular period and dances were performed to highlight the entertainment of that time.

    For instance, the 1930s were defined by tap dance and the 1940s by qawallis.

    The first to hit the runway was Priety Zinta, dressed in black, representing 1920s elegance and glamour.

    She was followed by Katrina Kaif. Dressed in a long red gown, she depicted the 1930s, known for "Fearless" Nadia for her stunts in films like 'Hunterwali'.

    Then, Rani Mukherji walked the ramp in a black velvet choli and white lehenga, bringing alive the elegance of the 1940s.

    To recreate the flirtatious 1950s, Bipasha Basu walked the ramp in a short black outfit looking her sexiest best.

    The swinging 1960s was dominated by Shammi Kapoor and the rock and roll culture and who better than his grand niece Karisma Kapoor to do justice to it! Draped in a red sari, the actress, who has taken a break from work, oozed glamour and poise.

    Then came Sushmita Sen, who depicted the flamboyance and freedom of women in 1970s, dressed in multi-coloured kaftan top and golden mini skirt.

    After this it was Priyanka Chopra's turn to wow. Dressed in a white baby-doll dress, she represented the silver screen's glam girls of the 1980s.

    After that was Kareena Kapoor, in a smart and sexy black power suit, walking the ramp depicting the women of the 1990s.

    Finally, there was Salman, who wore red trousers and a black trench coat with glares and walked the ramp with a smile.

    Last year it was all guys for Salman as he had teamed up with stars like Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt for the show.

    This year while he had Katrina on the show, the two never got too close to each other. Preity Zinta was the chosen buffer, and we've got to say - she did a good job!

Sushmita's Durga Puja plans revealed

    Sushmita Sen plans to spend the Durga Puja festival next month in her hometown Kolkata along with her adopted kids to give them an idea about the biggest autumnal celebration in her state.

    "This time I have plans to spend my Durga Puja in Kolkata as this is my hometown. I want my kids (adopted) to know what Durga Puja really is," said Sushmita, who was in Kolkata to walk the ramp at a fashion show said.

    The four-day Durga Puja celebrations begin October 14.

    The 34-year-old actress, born in a Bengali family, has two adopted daughters - Renee and Alisah.

    She adopted Renee in 2000, and in January this year she adopted a three-month-old girl, and named her Alisah.

    Sushmita said she wanted to have biological kids also.

    "I will surely adopt more kids and also want to have biological kids," the former Miss Universe said.

    So when asked whether marriage was on the cards, the ever-smiling Sushmita replied: "I believe when the time comes it will surely happen. And I firmly believe that when I do get married it will be a perfect marriage."

    In the past, the actress has dated actor Randeep Hooda and ad man Manav Menon.

    Sushmita also spoke about her dream film project 'Rani Lakshmibai', and feels it will work out some day.

    "The budget of the film is Rs.80 crore. But I was told to do it in Rs.30 crore, and I don't agree with it," she said.

    "I don't believe in the rat race. Whatever movies I have done, I have done it with my heart," said Sushmita.

    Sushmita recently walked the ramp as a showstopper for designers Shantanu and Nikhil at the sixth edition of the Seagram's Blenders Pride Fashion Tour in Kolkata.

Sushmita says she will get married

    Don't ask Sushmita Sen what kind of man she wants in her life! The star says she is tired of the question, but adds that she will get married for sure.

    "Well, I will get married. It was just that I didn't feel like getting married at 23-24 which is considered to be the marriageable age," Sushmita, who's 34.

    "And I am tired of answering what kind of a man I want in my life. I will show you the full sample whenever it happens," she added.

    In the past, Sush has dated actor Randeep Hooda, ad man Manav Menon and also been linked with Bunty Sachdev and very recently with former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram, with whom she has supposedly broken off.

    Professionally, Sushmita's back in the zone that made her famous in the first place. Her production company Tantra Entertainment was awarded the India franchise by the Miss Universe Organisation this year. But Ushoshi Sengupta who was selected by Tantra did not win the title for India.

    Sushmita says she wasn't disappointed at all by the result. "We gave it our best shot and there was a lot of learning for us as well. I also went to the pageant after 16 years (Sushmita won the title in 1994) and a lot has changed in terms of format.

    "So I had a look and understood the new things. This will help us in bringing the title back in the near future. Now, I feel like it is a challenge for me," she said.

    Recently 'Slumdog Millionaire' actress Freida Pinto said Sushmita inspired her to act in the movies.

    Commenting on that, Sush said: "When I saw my baba (father) in tears when Rakesh Sharma went up in space and told Indira Gandhi 'Saare Jahan Se Aacha Hindustan Hamaara', I asked him for whom he was crying. He replied - he (Rakesh) is famous."

    "At that time all I knew was that I had to be famous. It was my only ambition in life and I wanted people, who didn't even know me, to cry for me. So when people say such things about me, I feel life has come a full circle for me."

Sushmita spotted with out her usual bling

WATCH: "I Am SHE" 2010 (PROMO)

Sushhhhhhh......ke ghar mein koi rehta hai!

    Since Sushmita Sen's split with ad filmmaker Manav Menon, there's been talk of her bonding with Dulha Mil Gaya director, debutant Mudassar Aziz. Sources reveal that Sush and Mudassar are extremely fond of each other.

    The latest buzz doing the rounds is that Aziz has moved in with Sen at her Khar apartment.

    There are hushed whispers from Sushmita's neighbours on Ambedkar Road about the director and the actress living in together. Eyewitness accounts reveal that Mudassar is often spotted in the building and is even seen driving her around.

    A source reveals, "Initially, he'd come around only on weekends. But since the last few weeks, Aziz has been a resident of the building."

    It is learnt that Sush is quite thrilled with Mudassar moving in. "They get along like a house on fire. In fact, he's quite fond of her daughter Renee as well. Apart from Dulha Mil Gaya, he also helped Sen prepare for her reality TV show, Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena which will air on Colors."

    Even though Dulha Mil Gaya isn't complete as yet, Aziz has been taking a keen interest in Sushmita's historical epic, Rani Laxmibai. "Even though they haven't gone public with their relationship, the fact that Mudassar is living in with Sush speaks volumes about them."

Sushmita follows Madonna

    There’s more than adopted children that Madonna and Sushmita Sen have in common.

    The Material Girl and our Miss Universe are both deeply into Kabbalah. For the uninitiated, Kabbalah is a discipline and school of thought that explores the mystical aspect of Judaism. Madonna, of course, has been a Kabbalah believer from ever since, but Sushmita has got into it recently.

    “I was chasing a particular number, 47, which I thought was very auspicious and this led me to the study of Kabbalah,” explained Ms Sen. “So I went to the Kabbalah Centre in New York and picked up every single possible literature they had on the subject. Today I feel like I know it a bit.”

    That was two-and-half years ago. Since then, the actress says Kabbalah has brought about fabulous changes in her life. “We are talking about anti-ageing and stuff. All of this is to age gracefully, not to fight it, not restrict yourself to other peoples’ definition of ageing or of growing old. Through Kabbalah, I found ways to stay young and yet, gracefully accept that every single line on your face is something you’ve earned. So as long as you enjoy and cherish them, you’re going to age gracefully and like who you are,” she said earnestly
    On the work front, the actress is currently involved with Dulha Mil Gaya and the yet to be released Karma Confessions And Holi. “There’s also David Dhawan’s film, the working title of which is Do Not Disturb, in which I’m with Govinda,” she said.

    Most importantly, there’s Jhansi Ki Rani Lakshmibai which Sushmita is producing, directing and acting in. Talking about this whole experience, she said, “It’s a tough call, because of the sheer size of the canvas of the film that I want to make. I’d much rather be doing three years of pre-production than three years of post-production. I have a very emotional tie with the film. Tons of work has gone into the scripting, presentation, etc. I want it to be a 2010 release and if everything goes well, Insha Allah it should be so,” she added.

SRK and Sushmita Sen in Dulha Mil Gaya


    Shah Rukh Khan and Sushmita Sen's chemistry set the screen on fire the last time they were paired opposite each other in Farah Khan's Main Hoon Na. That was a long time back, 2004 to be precise. Now the duo would once again be seen together in Viveck Vaswani's film Dulha Mil Gaya.

    This film has been long in the making due to various reasons. However, Viveck had earlier announced right here that the film is now 90% complete. The makers are even eyeing a release sometime around January next year. The film, directed by Mudassar Aziz also stars Fardeen Khan in a prominent role. Dulha Mil Gaya, apart from a stellar cast, also has some beautiful scenes shot aboard a luxury liner and in the Carribean islands. So that's one more reason to check out this film when it opens across cinema halls early next year.

Sushmita doesn't care

    Sushmita Sen’s recent weight gain has been noticed by many people.

    But the actress doesn’t care what people think or have to say about her, “I don’t know how to react to half of the things people say,” she says nonchalantly, when asked about her weight.

    “I’m very comfortable in my own skin. Fat, thin, beautiful or ugly – I’m happy being who I am. And what my weight is or how big I look is not anyone’s business, only mine, and I’m just too happy with it!”

    Now that’s one confident woman speaking.

Govinda, Sushmita Sen, David Dhawan and Vashu Bhagnani at the Press Conference of Do Knot Disturb

Sushmita’s weighty woes

    We did tell you how Sushmita Sen was melting in Delhi because of the heat. It’s a different story that the once sexy damsel, who upped the temperature with her oomph, will probably need all the heat to melt the fat that she has put on.

    While there, for a shooting schedule, Sush frequents a gym with her personal trainer in tow, and everyone at the fitness centre is talking about how 'out of shape' she is. It’s time this Sen return to her sensuous avatar. How? Well, Sush you’ll just have to ‘figure’ that one out!

Sushmita will be a judge on a dance reality show

    Sushmita Sen will soon be seen on television. Sush, who may appear to be extremely tied up with the pre-production of her dream project Rani Laxmibai will be a judge for a dance reality show that will air on the soon-to-be aired Hindi entertainment channel, Colors.

    The show, yet untitled, is being produced by UTV. It will have cricketers and telly/film folk shaking a leg for the top spot. Cricketer Wasim Akram will be Sush’s co-judge. Among the cricketers finalised is wicketkeeper/batsman Dinesh Karthik.

    Sush’s show will be telecast after the Akshay Kumar-anchored Fear Factor series ends. The channel will be launched with Akki’s show, which features celeb females as participants.

    In keeping with the trend of paying B-Town actors a bomb for their television outings, Sush, too, has been given an extremely attractive remuneration. Though the channel is keeping all info under wraps, it is learnt that she has been paid a whopper (read: crores) the highest ever to any B-Town actress on the small screen..

    According to an onlooker, “Sushmita has agreed to do television as she needs huge finances for her directorial debut Rani Laxmibai, which she is also producing. Ever since she announced the mega project, the actress has not been signing new films as she wanted to concentrate on the extensive research and raising finances for the film.”

    Except for committing to David Dhawan’s Do Not Disturb, produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Sush last shot over a year ago for Mudassar Aziz’s Dulha Mil Gaya, which lies incomplete.

Sush a dust-phobe!

    Plays a brave queen, but allergies will bog her down

    Sushmita Sen is working on her directorial debut, Rani Laxmibai. As the actress is playing the title role as well, she will have to ride horses for the battle scenes. However, it is not clear how Sush will shoot as she is allergic to dust and muck.

    Buzz was that Sush had approached ex-boyfriend Randeep Hooda to train her to ride horses, as he owns six horses and even participates in national level championships. However Randeep says, “I am not part of Rani Laxmibai, and neither have I helped Sush learn horse-riding. It’s not possible for me to teach horse riding. Besides, she has a dust allergy.”

    Another source working on the film admits that the ex-Miss Universe is concerned about her allergies.

    “She can’t do away with the horseriding as Rani Laxmibai was a warrior and was known for her sword fighting and fencing skills.”

    Currently, the actress is busy researching for the film, reading up literature on Laxmibai and working on the look. However, the biggest hassle she faces is getting to ride a horse as she isn’t comfortable with them.

Salman to act in Sushmita's Jhansi Ki Rani Laxmibai

    Sushmita Sen is on a man hunt... literally speaking. Her maiden venture has run into several setbacks and the actress is now turning to close friend Salman Khan with the thought of casting him for the role of Nanasaheb Peshwa in her Jhansi Ki Rani Laxmibai.

    Sushmita feels the role is very prominent and Salman fits the bill. Hence she is in talks with the actor about the same. Salman has liked the character and he is quite thrilled about the role.

    “Although Salman is yet to sign on the dotted line, he is looking forward to playing a historical icon like Nanasaheb Peshwa. He will have a completely different look for which he is growing his hair.” says a friend close to the actor.

    Sushmita is looking forward to sign some more biggies for other prominent characters of the film. Earlier she had approached Akshay Kumar for the role of Tatya Tope. It is also believed that Sushmita had offered a prominent character to Shah Rukh Khan too, but the Badshah refused it due to date problems.

    It can be recalled that before this Salman was offered to etch out the historic character of Bajiroa by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He was also the first choice for Akbar in Ashutosh Govarikar’s historial love story Jodha Akbar. But this time it seems that Salman might take up this offer seriously.

Sushhhhh and Shahid

    It’s almost impossible to keep a film under wraps, but the makers of a Shahid Kapur film have managed to shoot and complete one, without even announcing it.

    The film went on the floors soon after Jab We Met and has been directed by Shahid’s close friend Rohit. The cast of the untitled film includes Sushmita Sen and Paresh Rawal.

    Produced by Shemaroo Entertainment, the film has been treated like a top-secret assignment by the production house. Says a source, “They wanted to start and finish this project without making any noise. They have a big promotional plan.

    Reveals an insider, “The reason why they managed to keep the project hush-hush is because the entire crew of the film from the music composer to the cinematographer to even the dance director is from the US. If there was an Indian crew, the secret would’ve been out long ago.

    They plan to release the film in the next three to four months and the promotional campaign for it will start as soon as the makers zero down on a title for the movie.”

    However Raman Maroo from Shemaroo Entertain-ment says, “I am planning a film with Shahid to be directed by Rohit. All the other cast and details have been finalised but the film hasn’t gone on the floors as yet.

    We start shooting by of May-end in a single start-to-finish schedule. Sushmita Sen will play the lead and we plan to shoot it in Mumbai along with foreign locales. Yes, the film has an all-international crew.”

    But the source insists, “The makers will surely denybecause they don’t want the news out.”

Sushmita, beauty brains and substance!

    "Just being a woman is God's gift. The origin of a child is a mother, a woman. Woman is sharing and she shows a man what sharing, caring, and loving is all about. That is the essence of a woman." These were her exact words.. the crowd went hysterical and India got its first ever Miss Universe, the year was1994. From Miss India she went on to become the most beautiful women in the universe. And thus was born Sushmita Sen.. diva and the actor.

    Born and bought up in Hyderabad, to Bengali parents and daughter of an Air Force Officer, she grew up in Nagpur, Jorhat, before the family settled down in Delhi. She attended a Hindi-medium school, Kendriya Vidyalaya until 9th Standard and in her initial years struggled to get the right pronunciation of English words. And look at the irony the girl who didn't know a word of English until she was 16, went on to obtain Honors in English. It was her fate and determination which took her this far.

    She remembers as a 15 year old watching the Miss Universe contest with her father and recalls telling her father, ''You know papa, I don't think many of these girls come across as really beautiful, except maybe one or two." Her father teased her, why don't you join the beauty contests... she did and bought home the coveted crown.

    "Just believe in your dreams and you can make it," She says. And talking about 'intelligence', she says, "I don't know what's the definition of intelligence is. I'm not intelligent. I'm street-smart."

    Maybe that's what made her Sushmita Sen, the most beautiful in the universe. But isn't she beautiful as well. "I have an exotic face. And about styling, I think everyone has his own persona and that comes out only at home. Your style is what you are when no one's looking. I think you have to wear something that best presents you. All the girls are special, it's just that have to believe in themselves and rest will follow," she says.

    However it wasn't the easy rollercoaster ride, her rival was Ms Aishwarya Rai. Everyone thought Ash would walk away with the title of Miss India, but at the end, it was Sushmita who emerged as the dark horse and walked away with the title of Miss India.

    And tonight as the 28 beauties from all over the country are vying for the 'crown'.. they for sure will be looking up to Sushmita's 'Sensational' inspirational story..

Sushmita Sen speaks exclusively on her production plans

    Right now, Sushmita Sen lives, eats, drinks and sleeps with Rani Laxmibai. "Being the first product of my production house, Tantra Productions, Rani Laxmibai is something that I'm very ambitious about," she says with electric excitement.

    "While Tantra Productions is the parent company, 'Sushmita Sen Productions' will be producing feature films. Tantra will be going into every sphere of entertainment, from television software to events management….all kinds of things to do with the creative process. There'll be different divisions of Tantra."

    At the moment, her swanky new production is focusing only on the historical project. "Sushmita Sen Productions is what we're focusing on right now. I'm working very hard to put the company's logistics in place. Going into direction wasn't something I had planned. Unfortunately or fortunately I can't think of anyone else who feels as strongly about Laxmibai. If that's the seat I'm being persuaded to take, it's in the best interest of my film that the creative people I've on board must have a trustworthy name in the market."

    Sushmita is restless. “I get only 4-6 hours of sleep these days. Fortunately, I am not facing the camera these days. So I don't care how I look." Dulha Mil Gaya is Sushmita's only acting assignment at the moment. "It's my genre of a film, and I'm very excited about it. By God's grace the film will be a decent precursor to Rani Laxmibai."

Keeping Sush khush

    The producer and director of Dulha Mil Gaya spend more time on Sen’s home production than on their incomplete film!

    Sushmita’s only film on the floors, Dulha Mil Gaya, is a long way from being completed. Though her film with the producer Viveck Vaswani and director Mudassar Aziz remains stuck, Sen has strangely put them on board for her directorial debut, Rani Laxmibai.

    Fully involved

    The duo have veered more towards Sush’s project than putting DMG back on track! The actress has Viveck and Mudassar completely involved on the pre-production, and no one seems to be losing sleep on DMG’s comatose state.

    The duo has been frequenting Sush’s production house Tantra Entertainment office in Bandra as well as her home for discussions on Laxmibai.

    According to an onlooker, “They have been taken by Sushmita to help her with Laxmibai. In fact, Viveck recently even undertook a trip to Chennai on Sush’s behalf. Both are an integral part of the movie.

    Mudassar was part of Laxmibai’s pre-production from the outset because of his rapport with Sush from the days of DMG. He even accompanied Sush to Vaishnodevi recently.”

    It is learnt that Sush has made everyone sign a contract not to divulge details about Laxmibai. When we checked with Vaswani, he preferred not to comment.

    Dulha kaha gaya?

    Incidentally, Dulha Mil Gaya, which has Anuj Saxena’s Maverick Productions as presenter, stars Sushmita, Fardeen Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in a cameo. It has been in the news for all the inordinate delays after a shoot schedule each in West Indies and in Mehboob Studios during the first half of 2007.
