@patel_yash
aap mein aur @beingsalmankhan mein commn khubiyan: dono sache dil ke hai dignity maintain rakhte hai..aur jo karte hain usme sachhai jhalakti hai
@priya64as for ur qs on salmans i would like to say that though honestly am not a huge fan of him (i was in his earlier days loved him during MPK, Saajan, AAA etc) but gotta say as a person hes a kind hearted human being and have done loads of good things with his foundation & for me hes a better host for BB and he looks best with karisma kapoor! loved them as a pair. I think def action movies suits him more but like his comic timing 2!

nurainfarizan
I believe Salman is a FANTASTIC actor, who is sometimes too big for the films he chooses to do.He has amazing onscreen presence.
Anietude
tere naam?? I guess it was one of his best! Also his serious roles in karan arjun and veergati!

1 crore % RT: I think Salman was v good in Karan Arjun. Better than Shahrukh. V intense, solid action....
crazy4kajol
i liked pyaar kiya to darna kya, HDDC, Tere Naam, KKHH, Andaaz apna apna & Kyonki. amazing performances in all of them. #Salman
karinasood
I loved the salman looked in his earlier days so fresh and so innocent and lean n chisselled these days he has too much muscle
Ingrid_Diwali
I love Salman's chemistry with Sanju. Have you seen Chal Mere Bhai and/or Saajan? Both belong to my favourites. :)
crazy4kajol
Salman has given his careers best performance in Tere Naam & Kyonki !
1amber_
Amongst Salman's best are Andaz Apna Apna, Pyaar kiya to darna kya and Jab pyaar kisi se hota hai.

An Interview With Me By Nikki (@cadburylove)
Here's an interview with me conducted by Nikki (@cadburylove)
Faridoon Shahryar can lay the claim to being India’s most respected journalist. He has been on the spot for dozens of Bollywood events whether its premiers, parties, and always giving us instant feedback and keeping us uptodate. He believes in bridging the distance between fans and celebrities and devotes his time to the fans, making him perhaps one of the most loved person on twitter. He’s a celebrity, a poet, a singer and a superstar in many of our eyes. Here’s a warm welcome to Faridoon Shahryar.
Welcome Faridoon! It’s a pleasure to have you.
Thanks Nikki
1) Starting with the basis – what is the difference between ethics and moral in journalism? Has a situation ever arised during an interview where there was a ethical/moral conflict?
I would believe ethics and morals are the same thing. There hasn't been a conflict really but different people react to certain questions differently so in retrospect, at times I feel that maybe I shouldn't have asked this question or maybe could have probed more. One is learning all the time.
2) What is your favourite part of your job?
Meeting interesting people, new movies, challenge of remaining up to date with what's happening in the film world
3) Recently, we all discovered your hidden talent – you’re an incredible singer. Any plans of recording your own album?
As of now no, its more of a hobby and I am happy to let it remain that.
4) While we’re at that subject, what about your poems? You’ve managed to capture what no writer has ever before. When did you start writing poetry?
Thanks Nikki. I started writing poetry when i was very young, maybe 10-11.
5) Many fans have said that you should start a compilation of your poetry and have it publish .. and I agree. Is there a chance that could happen in the near future or are you planning to keep it as a hobby?
I would like to come out with a compilation. I've been widely published both in India as well as abroad. Writing poetry is definitely not a hobby. I am good at it and would like to reach out to many more people.
6) Which actor/actress haven’t you got the chance to interview yet, but would like to in the future?
In the younger lot, I've interviewed everyone, would love to interview some legends like Dilip Kumar sb, Shammi Kapoor ji, Shashi Kapoor ji etc
Following Faridoon’s footsteps of bridging the gap, here are some of your questions!
@Chulbuli09
7) Were you inclined to be a journalist or did it happen by chance in your life?
I guess i was always inclined towards journalism. I've had this habbit of reading newspapers since school. It's a ritual without which my day is not complete. I used to write letters to the editors in newspapers during school and college. So the inclination has always been there.
8) I am an ardent fan of urs n so are lot of ppl on twitter.. How do u stay grounded wen u receive such immense adulation?
Thanks Rhea. Twitter has been a greatly humbling experience. Maybe the adulation inspires me more to keep giving exclusive information to people who follow me on twitter. At the end of the day I am basically being followed because of the Bollywood based info that I provide.
@danshula:
9) One thing you cherish the most in your life and why?
My daughter Insha. She is delightful and yet naughty. The kind of happiness I get merely seeing her grow can't be described in words.
10) You have met so many celebrities in your life, you are great journalist, life is great and smooth - is that what you wanted with life? Or is there something which you want to do and achieve yet in life?
When I was doing my Post Graduate course in journalism from The Times Of India, we were given a lecture by novelist Arundhati Roy (God of small things). I asked her if she had planned it this way and if she had thought that she would be awarded the Booker. She looked at me mischievously and said she had planned every second of her life. And then she broke into a laughter and said, she hasn't planned anything, things just happened. I would believe that's the story of everyone's life. My endeavour is pursuit of excellence, to just keep getting better at what I do. And I want to enjoy my life and be happy with people who matter around me. That's very important for me.
Ingrid_Diwali:
11) What's your opinion about the film award system in India? Aren't there just too many? Should there be more people's or more critics' choices?
It's very difficult to have a fool proof way of giving awards honestly. Even the critics you think are honest have their likes and dislikes, their favourites and stars whom they dislike for various reasons. I've always believed, award shows are television shows that offer good entertainment but take the awards with a pinch of salt and 'availability' of big stars who attend the award functions.
12) According to your personal choice of Hindi movies, can you select your favorite decade?
Its practically not possible. Every decade has its share of good films.
@Vaashini
13) As everyone of us, I'm sure you are a fan of some star too(don't worry, no confessions expected here...we dont want to get you into trouble :P). While interviewing your favourite star(s) how have you managed to strike a balance between fanship & professional enthusiasm?
I wouldn't say I am a fan of a particular star. But yes everyone has their likes and dislikes. If I like a certain star maybe because of the personal equation then I tend to be extra cautious in being as objective as possible. The fact that I have an equation with that star, even he/she knows that I am not asking gossipy incorrect stuff and wouldn't be presenting the final edit in a fictitious way.
14) What according to you are the Top 3 interviews that you had the most fun interviewing?
There are many. Honestly, its not easy to pick. But yes Pooja Bhatt's interview on SRK/Shiv Sena issue, Aamir Khan's interview in 2009 on his birthday, Salman Khan's interview for Wanted, Priyanka Chopra's interview on her birthday in 2010, recent interview with Sonu Nigam, Shahid Kapoor's interview for Kaminey, Ram Gopal Verma's interview for Rakta Charitra, all of Sajid Khan's interviews as he gives you juicy bytes, Raju Hirani, Shantanu Moitra, Swanand Kirkire's interview for music of 3 Idiots and quite a few more.
15) Based on your interviewing experience, describe in 1-5 words an observed good quality about the following stars that helped for a comfortable & smooth-flowing interview :-
Amitabh Bachchan: Humble, kind, articulate, a sheer pleasure
Hrithik: Brilliant, honest, doesn't try to please
SRK: Gives respect,listens well,speaks beautifully
Aamir Khan:Thinks before answering,very easy to get along,doesn't behave like a star
Salman Khan:Reacts to your vibes,friendly if he likes you
Shahid Kapoor:If he trusts u he's for u,is funny and friendly
Ranbir Kapoor:Polite, humble, articulate, grounded
Imran Khan:Funny, articulate
Priyanka Chopra:Great fun,positive vibes,easily approachable,warm person
Kareena Kapoor:Can be very innocent and simple
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Makes you at ease, articulate, good fun
Deepika Padukone: Good sense of humour, precision in answers
Anushka Sharma: Talks fast, confident, friendly
Sonam Kapoor: Articulate,poised,clarity of thought
Thank you so much for taking your time out for this interview. Appreciate it. :)
Thank you Nikki. It was really nice answering all these questions. Cheers!
As we wrap up, here’s a treat for you. Faridoon’s latest poem – Pastel Life
There's something about life
Addictive and contagious
Future draped in pastel
Couragiously saunters
Through the
Matrix of thoughts
Inviting and igniting
There's something about life
Mischievous and tolerant
I smirked at the
Trouble fugitive
Preferring to stay away
From the dungeons of despair
Lighting a torch of smiles
Across thousands of miles
There's something about life
Affectionate and understanding
With a little help
From known strangers
One gets by
And feign happiness
When none exists
For gloominess sucks
And is seldom social
There's something about life
With many faces to see through it all...
Well thats it folks. Take care & Keep smiling! It’s Nikki (@Cadburylove) signing off. (:

Postcard On 'Dhobi Ghat' From Kiran Rao
I wrote the screenplay of “Dhobi Ghat” with the idea of capturing the multiple cities within Mumbai, of getting under the layers of the city. So I armed my characters with different lenses and tools an old leica M6 still camera, an amateur video camera, a cameras and paints to be able to explore the city through their individual perspectives. These multiple formats helped me build this multiplicity of experience and perception, get varying visual textures, and also allowed me to have more film playing with different mediums!

The Most Underrated Actors In Bollywood
An underrated actor is someone who despite having immense potential and in spite of having proved himself again and again, hasn’t really got his due share of recognition or prominence. He need not merely be fitting into the proverbial ‘Hero’ category in Bollywood. He can also be a character actor who makes a difference to a movie. I asked my followers to give their choice for whom they feel has to be the most underrated actor in Bollywood. A few of the options given by me were Akshay Khanna, Shiney Ahuja, Kay Kay Menon, Deepak Dobriyal, Rahul Bose, Ranveer Shourie,Vinay Pathak,Irrfan Khan,Raghuveer Yadav,Vijay Raaz,Rajat Kapoor,Aftab Shivdasani, Abhay Deol and Manu Rishi.
In the answers that I received, Ajay Devgn’s name prominently featured as many fans feel that he hasn’t got the due attention from Media the way the Khans have. And yes it seems Akshaye Khanna is a clear favourite for being the most underrated actor that we have in Bollywood. Take a look at the various view points. And yes, we shall do the Blog post for Most Underrated Actress in Bollywood soon.
1) RRKHAN
@Faridoon_S akshaye khanna: most underrated
2) with_an_idea
@Faridoon_S Akshay Khanna hands down- the guy can pull off any role with aplomb and Vivek Oberoi, though he's getting appreciated slowly.
3) AkshayaaGirl13
@Faridoon_S AkshayeKhanna is the most underrated actor! Period! :)
4) zainsul
@Faridoon_S Akshaye Khanna......his performances in race and gandhi my father are simply awesome. sadly he never got due credit for them.
5) Sunny_bca
@Faridoon_S I think sharman,
rahul nd akshay kh are very great actor but the x factor which gives huge stardom is missing
6) Fatemeh__
@Faridoon_S Akshay Khanna
7) milena0405
@Faridoon_S Siddharth! he is a superstar in tollywood but why he cant get a foothold in bollywood!! he is definitely an underrated actor:(
8) francyy9
@Faridoon_S most underrated actor is Bobby Deol. he's brilliant actor.someone who doesn't use his family background 2 being part of industry
9) NitishV89
@Faridoon_S AKSHAYE KHANNA
10) milena0405
@Faridoon_S my fav Kunal Kapoor!! the guy is brilliant and totally unique, but he its an underrated actor! pls give him a lead role soon!
11) rube80
@Faridoon_S I feel a lot of the names u mentioned aren't quite underrated! I mean KayKay,RahulBose,IrrfanKhan and few others u mentioned might not b household names but they r truly know as very very good actors in the industry, so can we really call them underrated? Perhaps under appreciated:) When I think of underrated... Sharman Joshi pops into my mind!
12) radhiah94
@Faridoon_S Sharman Joshi is one of the underrated actor!! he's brilliant actor but can't find his place yet in the industry!!
13) ajaydevgnfan
@Faridoon_S hi sir i think ajay devgn is the most underrated actor of bolliwood,boz after giving so many hits
14) iamAminah786
@Faridoon_S how abt manoj bajpai?
15) Mini163
@Faridoon_S most underrated actor has 2 be Akshaye k, he's always natural 2 da core but has never received da recognition he deserves
16) shaibee0210
@Faridoon_S i think rahul bose
17) loveajaydevgn
@Faridoon_S ajay devgn giving so many hits from beigning of the carier to till now,but media not requnised him like khans.
18) jaibishnoi1
@Faridoon_S yes and kay kay menon he was too good in shaurya
19) jaibishnoi1
@Faridoon_S mostttttttttttttt underratedddd = Akshaye Khanna
20) jaibishnoi1
@Faridoon_S mostly all the comedy actors u see in smaller roles, like rajpal n paresh, are underated they act better than main stream heroes
21) jaibishnoi1
@Faridoon_S irfan khan
22) Sweeet_bird
@Faridoon_S emraan hashmi is the most under rated actor in bollywood.
23) jaibishnoi1
@Faridoon_S Abhishek Bachche, he is the most unlucky actor, and probably not very good at choosing movies !!
24) jaibishnoi1
@Faridoon_S Neil N Mukesh. No one mentions his nme wen tey tok bout nwcomrs, i feel actng wise and versatility wise he is better of the lot
25) vikas_ajwani
@Faridoon_S Kay Kay Menon
26) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S arshad warsi.
27) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S oh yes also emraan hashmi(all are only talking about kisses) but he can also act very good
28) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S irfaan khan and vivek oberoi
29) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S also ajay devgan. he is such a good actor. but still not treated like big names like srk hrithik etc
30) Cursed_n_broken
@Faridoon_S Sharman joshi is also largely ignored! am glad he's bagged that Ferari film
31) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S akshaye khanna(my fav)
32) Cursed_n_broken
@Faridoon_S But i do think Abhay Deol is underrated as an actor! Arjun Mathur too!
33) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S sanjay suri sharman joshi
34) Cursed_n_broken
@Faridoon_S i think Ajay Devgan is under-rated. Everyone keeps talking bout the Khans, when Ajay is more versatile!! and has big hits 2
35) nurainfarizan
@Faridoon_S Bobby Deol is another underrated actor. Good-looking, can definitely act but acting career never really happened.
36) adityakatweet
@Faridoon_S abhay deol.
37) HinaSsemeen
@Faridoon_S GOSH there r so many underrated actors,which 1 to pick.Akshaye Khanna is really a good actor sad his movies didnt get recognised
38) basma_candy
@Faridoon_S harman bhaweja
39) BubbleFail
@Faridoon_S Abhay Deol got to be the most underrated one.I think he's currently the most talented Actor out there and he is different
40) srishtiuniverse
@Faridoon_S Jimmi shergil
41) HugeHrithikfan1
@Faridoon_S akshay khanna cos he is a very gud actor who has made sum very gud films he is one of my favs btw reply 2 me once u read it
42) sibtain_r2009
@Faridoon_S I think @vivek_oberoi as well. He is such an amazing actor yet, for some reason, he is underrated. He is a very talented actor
43) cool_sids
@Faridoon_S salman khan is d most under rated actor.rishi kapoor also said it on koffe with karan.people think him as huge star but hes actr
44) pari_khanna
@Faridoon_S Rahul Khanna. The man has done only a few movies but he is so good looking and extremely poised.
45) HugeHrithikfan1
@Faridoon_S akshay khanna
46) nurainfarizan
@Faridoon_S Otherwise, Akshaye Khanna is a great talent too.
47) enstacy
@Faridoon_S Rahul Khanna!
48) nurainfarizan
@Faridoon_S Underrated star actor - Salman Khan. He's given amazing performances, but ppl constantly choose to undermine his acting skills.
49) SRK_FRK
@Faridoon_S vijay raaz , Kay Kay menon n Rahul bose
50) Timor21
@Faridoon_S I think Akshaye Khanna is most underrated actor in bollywood ,he done very well so far
51) gauravrai

@Faridoon_S hiya faridoon! how is it going? hope u r having a lovely sunday with the family, to answer ur qs regarding the most underrated actor i gotta say its def akshaye khanna, his performances in movies such as DCH, Hungama, n even as a villain in humraaz n race was superb. He is one talented underrated actor for sure n not been doing many movies lately, still gotta watch Aakrosh n No problem is looking to be one funny movie!
In the answers that I received, Ajay Devgn’s name prominently featured as many fans feel that he hasn’t got the due attention from Media the way the Khans have. And yes it seems Akshaye Khanna is a clear favourite for being the most underrated actor that we have in Bollywood. Take a look at the various view points. And yes, we shall do the Blog post for Most Underrated Actress in Bollywood soon.
1) RRKHAN
@Faridoon_S akshaye khanna: most underrated
2) with_an_idea
@Faridoon_S Akshay Khanna hands down- the guy can pull off any role with aplomb and Vivek Oberoi, though he's getting appreciated slowly.
3) AkshayaaGirl13
@Faridoon_S AkshayeKhanna is the most underrated actor! Period! :)
4) zainsul
@Faridoon_S Akshaye Khanna......his performances in race and gandhi my father are simply awesome. sadly he never got due credit for them.
5) Sunny_bca
@Faridoon_S I think sharman,
rahul nd akshay kh are very great actor but the x factor which gives huge stardom is missing
6) Fatemeh__
@Faridoon_S Akshay Khanna
7) milena0405

@Faridoon_S most underrated actor is Bobby Deol. he's brilliant actor.someone who doesn't use his family background 2 being part of industry
9) NitishV89
@Faridoon_S AKSHAYE KHANNA
10) milena0405
@Faridoon_S my fav Kunal Kapoor!! the guy is brilliant and totally unique, but he its an underrated actor! pls give him a lead role soon!
11) rube80
@Faridoon_S I feel a lot of the names u mentioned aren't quite underrated! I mean KayKay,RahulBose,IrrfanKhan and few others u mentioned might not b household names but they r truly know as very very good actors in the industry, so can we really call them underrated? Perhaps under appreciated:) When I think of underrated... Sharman Joshi pops into my mind!
12) radhiah94
@Faridoon_S Sharman Joshi is one of the underrated actor!! he's brilliant actor but can't find his place yet in the industry!!
13) ajaydevgnfan

@Faridoon_S mostly all the comedy actors u see in smaller roles, like rajpal n paresh, are underated they act better than main stream heroes
21) jaibishnoi1
@Faridoon_S irfan khan
22) Sweeet_bird
@Faridoon_S emraan hashmi is the most under rated actor in bollywood.
23) jaibishnoi1
@Faridoon_S Abhishek Bachche, he is the most unlucky actor, and probably not very good at choosing movies !!
24) jaibishnoi1
@Faridoon_S Neil N Mukesh. No one mentions his nme wen tey tok bout nwcomrs, i feel actng wise and versatility wise he is better of the lot
25) vikas_ajwani
@Faridoon_S Kay Kay Menon
26) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S arshad warsi.
27) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S oh yes also emraan hashmi(all are only talking about kisses) but he can also act very good
28) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S irfaan khan and vivek oberoi
29) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S also ajay devgan. he is such a good actor. but still not treated like big names like srk hrithik etc
30) Cursed_n_broken
@Faridoon_S Sharman joshi is also largely ignored! am glad he's bagged that Ferari film
31) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S akshaye khanna(my fav)
32) Cursed_n_broken
@Faridoon_S But i do think Abhay Deol is underrated as an actor! Arjun Mathur too!
33) bollywoodmariam
@Faridoon_S sanjay suri sharman joshi
34) Cursed_n_broken
@Faridoon_S i think Ajay Devgan is under-rated. Everyone keeps talking bout the Khans, when Ajay is more versatile!! and has big hits 2
35) nurainfarizan
@Faridoon_S Bobby Deol is another underrated actor. Good-looking, can definitely act but acting career never really happened.
36) adityakatweet
@Faridoon_S abhay deol.

Why Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey Is An Important Film?
As an avid movie buff, I am bored of the regular and the mundane. So, when a film like Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey comes along, one reinforces the belief in the power of cinema. Yes, there's a lot of chaff out there but when one does come across the Real thing, you take back home the experience of watching a good story told wonderfully well. What you like most about KHJJS is the total disregard for bowing before the conventional Box Office demands. There are no cinematic 'items' that ensures ticket sales in cine halls. Still, there's a restrained Thrill element that permeates the fabric of the entire film and keeps you interested as a viewer.
There have been so many films on Indian Freedom Movement. So many heroes. And now, everyone will come to know of Surjya Sen and his batallion of young soldiers. The Chittagong Uprising will echo in the country. For, its a Country of youth and this movement was spearheaded by youngsters (mostly teenagers). To touch upon a subject which can be construed as a lesser known chapter in Indian Freedom struggle is a risk in itself. But the risk pays off because many people are unaware of this movement and would be enriched by watching the film and valuing their independence even more.
The story unfolds at many levels. How elders in the group guide the youngsters, there's brewing love between Surjya (Abhishek) and Kolpana (Deepika) but it never takes center stage to hijack the basic premise, the preparation for the revolt seems like a documentary of sorts but then it has its light and thrilling moments too. The struggle is documented at several layers, yes the nationalistic fervour is very pronounced but it never gets loud or jingoistic. Also, the bond the entire gang of Surjya Sen shares amongst themselves has been brought forth in a subtle, moving fashion and at the level of Human Story, that's a victory for the film.
KHJJS isn't a film that celebrates a Hero in the conventional filmi sense of the word. Yes, Abhishek Bachchan plays Surjya who was the vision behind the Chittagong Uprising. But there are such fantastic performances from every single actor playing a pivotal role in the film. Especially the kids. What a casting coup. The kid who plays Jhunku is such a natural. It's a film that needs to be looked in 'Community'. The entire team of actors are fantastic. Abhishek, Deepika, Vishakha, Sikandar are the known names and they have delivered extremely realistic polished performances. But many more names will become sought after actors from KHJJS team (the way it happened with Lagaan).
Technically a very superior film, but still, there's nothing in-the-face to distract attention from the story telling. Art Design by Nitin Desai transports you to the era. Detailing seems very well researched. Neeta Lulla's clothes retain the sombre feel of the context of the film. Background score by Sohail Sen plays an important character in the film and also adds up to the tempo at crucial junctures. Kiran Deohans' camera makes this film a delightful visual experience. Dilip Deo's editing is defined by simple editing chops. Pace of the film is slow and maybe it could have been edited more sharply.
Ashutosh Gowariker is back with a bang. While we've seen other directors in the recent past who believe in shock-n-awe with too much of ornamentation, the subtle simplicity in the story telling of Gowariker is an endearing quality. Gowariker's endeavour to tell a story that doesn't follow the norm also gives more respectability to Bollywood which is mostly looked upon with disdain for its crass song-n-dance and gullible jokes.
Finally, Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is an important film that leaves you with goose pimples, a lot of food for thought and gratitude for people who didn't think twice before laying the foundation for free India. Lots of respect to them and the team that has made the film.
