Singer Sonu Niigaam has revealed his desire to organise a musical workshop for fans through a series of posts on Facebook.
"How many of you would be interested to attend a live musical workshop to be conducted by me in Mumbai, will 3rd December be suitable for you?": Niigaam posted on Facebook.
"It will be a free workshop open to all... we'll do it only if we have the appropriate strength, location and time we'll inform you here and the date can be worked out based on majority and our convenience."
The singer was overwhelmed by the response from his fans.
"Everyone, the response is too overwhelming. I thought this is something that I'll be able to handle myself with my team. But I guess I'll have to take the assistance of some professional friends to manage so many people and a proper venue," the singer posted.
Abhishek Bachchan says he is glad that he didn't have to look down at Deepika Padukone while shooting Ashutosh Gowariker's 'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey', because she is the "tallest" actress to have appeared with him till date.
"Deepika (who is 5' 9") is the tallest of the ladies I have worked with. I could finally look at my co-actress in the eyes and didn't have to look down upon her. It was really nice and tall working with her," Abhishek, who is 6' 3", told reporters in Delhi.
Congrats Abhishek! Never knew that a height of person should be such a big deal that Abhishek will be making statements. But I guess he doesn't have to take a U-turn after saying this.
Responding to a query regarding rumours that Deepika has turned down an offer to work with Shahid Kapoor due to height issues, Deepika said: "If that was the case, I won't be doing any movies at all!"
"If actors suit the character and the film, it doesn't matter if the girl is taller than the guy...So really, if directors start getting bothered by my height, I won't get any film at all."
Freida Pinto accused the media of sensationalizing her comments on Bollywood.
"I never said I don't want to be in Bollywood... Bollywood is like a big celebration. It is wrong to say Bollywood treats women like dolls," Freida said, when a reporter asked her to clarify her statement to the media earlier, where she had allegedly said she wanted to avoid roles in typical Bollywood films.
"The media picks and chooses what people say. There are slots in newspaper which they need to fill with sensation. You put people like us in a tough position," said Pinto.
She also chided the media for equating Bollywood to Indian cinema. "Bollywood is a part of Indian cinema. There are other alternative cinemas in India too," Freida said.
She has also had enough of big budget films - 'Slumdog Millionaire' and the Woody Allen venture - for the moment and now wants to do "realistic cinema" for a change.
"A film has to satisfy you. I don't want to do that kind of a film again right now. After two big budget films, I am looking at doing more realistic cinema," Freida said.
She said names in cinema like Stephen Spielberg were not a big draw for her and that she would love to work even with debutants who were making films on interesting subjects.
