* Rate Shiney Ahuja as an actor...
-He was overrated. He is better in dramatic films. But he showed his limits in emotional scenes in Bhool Bhulaiyaa where he was not able to act with restraint.

* Ansha. Who is a better actor, Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan?
-Aamir Khan is cerebral in his acting. Shah Rukh acts from the heart. In general, Aamir likes to restrain himself in his acting. I leave you to find your own conclusions.

* I think the best days for Rani Mukherjee, Amisha Patel, Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Esha Deol and Urmila Matondkar have gone!
Yes. There is a time limit for a heroine. While Rani Mukherjee and Aishwarya Rai have done their utmost, poor Amisha has been robbed by her parents and had to start from scratch. Sushmita and Urmila are too eccentric. They’ve allowed most of their best years to go past without helping their career. They refused good films and did some poor films. Esha Deol did not get enough opportunities. Maybe they don’t find her charming enough.

Fareed. Is Amrita Rao’s box-office favourable?
Not too much. Except Vivah, Main Hoon Na and Ishq Vishk, there isn’t too much for her to boast about.

* Kamini. When will Tabu make a comeback on screen?
Soon in Toh Baat Paki (Sharman Joshi). She is a happily married mother of two kids whose husband is Vinay (Ayab Khan). She finds in Rahul (Sharman Joshi) an ideal match for her sister. She has always had contempt for the dowry culture but unfortunately this issue crops up. But basically, the film is a comedy.

* A friend of mine interacted with Mugdha Godse in Mauritius. She projected an image of arrogance and awe...
That’s common in Bollywood. The big actors are humble and nice. The starlets are arrogant and unapproachable.

Shah Rukh Khan et Farah Khan

What happened to the Shah Rukh Khan-Farah Khan jodi?
I have a feeling something is going very wrong here. Maybe Shah Rukh Khan offended Farah by dismissing her screenplay. To retaliate, Farah has gone and signed Akshay Kumar opposite Katrina Kaif for her first production. Shah Rukh can only rely on Karan Johar for support as from now.

* Something on Bhumka Chawla. What is she doing nowadays?
Bhumika has gone back to tamil and telugu films after her mariage. She comes from an army background. After dong her HSC, she has come to settle in Bombay in 1996. She became a model and was later offered a telugu film by a south producer.

* Is Priyanka Chopra still popular?
-Yes. She still is! Her stocks are very high. She is a rare combination of beauty, glamour and talent. Plus, she spends more time working on the sets than any other actress. Thus, she is bound to do well. Vishal Bharadwaj (Kaminey) has given her the role of a wife who has got seven husbands!       

* Genelia D’Souza's next?
Chance Pe Dance, Housefull.

* Next releases of Amitabh Bachchan?
Rann, Johnny Mastana.

* Story of 3 Idiots...
Two guys (Sharman Joshi and R. Madhavan) are on a quest to  find their long lost friend. They intrude into a wedding and join a funeral which simply goes out of control. Then, there in a flashback of the university life of the three friends.  Raucho (Aamir Khan) flirts outrageously with the sexy Pia (Kareena Kapoor) while he clashes week a stubborn teacher, Viru (Boman Irani).

* Preity Zinta is glowing and she left an impact in her item song Happening (Main Aurr Mrs Khanna). Can she re-orient her career like Rani Mukherjee?
She won't. She is an outsider in  Bollywood. No one feels obliged to provide her with roles when she is reaching 35. But Rani is Aditya Chopra's love interest. That's why his banner is offering powerful roles and heroine-oriental films to her. Rani would have been nowhere today without Aditya

* Aish. Who will win the battle for Best Actor amongst Shah Rukh Khan (My Name Is Khan), Hrithik Roshan (Kites), Aamir Khan (3 Idiots), Saif Ali Khan (Kurbaan) and Akshay Kumar (De Dana Dan)?
My Name Is Khan is released on 12th of February and Kites on 22nd of January. Of the other films, we’ll have to see them before offering any judgement. Don’t forget, Ranbir Kapoor has been first-rate in Wake Up Sid and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.

Anushka Sharma

* Is Anushka Sharma single?
Yes. But she is in love with Zoheb Yusuf a model who lives in Bangalore.

* Manisha had such a lovely character in 1942 A Love Story. What is she doing these days?
Manisha unfortunately does not end up work she has taken. At a time, she wanted to produce films. She soon gave up. Then she tried writing screenplays and announced her decision do direct films. That, too, remained incomplete. She is now doing one or two low-budget films and we do not even know if they will be completed and whether they will be released. She also plans to buy an apartment in Paris. Like Tabu, she likes to travel.
