Guess what has become the USP of Tashan?
Special appearance of Saif’s son Ibrahim in the film!
For all those who haven’t seen the film, here’s all you would want to know about the scene! Ibrahim essays the role of a young Saif in the film! Saif in conversation with Akshay narrates about his favourite childhood activity and that is when Ibrahim is seen putting his hand in a water jar! He also says ‘bull shit’ when being punished!
To view Childhood photographs of Saif and other Bollywood stars Visit http://www.starsaskids.blogspot.com/
Ibrahim has completely taken after his father and given their uncanny resemblance he fits the bill of playing a baby Saif!
Ibrahim appears twice in the film. You can also catch a glimpse of Ibrahim sporting spiked hair just like his dad at the climax of the film!
Saif’s cutie pie definitely evokes ‘aww’ if Bebo evokes ‘wow’ in Tashan!

Narmada With Parents
Proud papa
When his teenage daughter informed him about her acting aspirations, Govinda says he was far from disappointed. "I recently walked the ramp with Nammo at Vikram Phadnis's fashion show.
It was a special moment for me, especially after what Nammo went through in that car accident last year.
She has suffered a lot but her fighting spirit and confidence helped her get back on her feet.
I feel very proud that she listens to me and has transformed into an extremely confident girl. She was very different earlier," says the actor.
He stresses that Narmada's acting ambitions are a recent development, and that she'd never expressed a desire to act earlier. "However, I want both my children (he also has a 12-year-old son Yashvardhan) to be happy in whatever they choose to become.
Nammo has now joined Kishore Namit Kapoor's acting school to develop her skills. When she told me about her decision to join films, I told her to give it her best shot.My family has gone through so much that I just want them to be happy. Even Sunita (his wife) is very happy."
Even though his pride in his daughter is palpable, Govinda is not sure about launching his daughter in his home banner."Let her first brush up on acting. She has a lot to learn. It's immaterial who launches her. She's a part of the film industry and has grown up here, so whoever launches her will be like family.Everyone in the industry is like her uncle, friend, aunt or sister. Nammo is the industry's child.
I am not sure if I will produce a film again after Sukh.Now that I have come back as an actor with Bhagam Bhag and Salaam-E-Ishq, my career has been resurrected. If I turn producer, it might affect my acting career and send out the wrongs signals," he says cautiously.
Narmada With Parents
Govinda Talks about Narmada
Govinda's daughter Narmada is all set to jump onto the Bollywood bandwagon. Says proud papa, Govinda, "She is very keen to become an actress, and my wife and I have no intentions of standing in the way of her dreams and aspirations."
Here's one star pop who doesn't want to spoonfeed his kid to make a mark in filmdom. Although Govinda who has already given a nod to his daughter to make a career in acting, he has a pre-condition. Says Govinda, "She'll have to learn the ropes of cinema from behind the camera. I want her to assist some big directors before facing the camera. She's very close to the Roshans, so Narmada will be assisting Rakesh Roshanji."
Not Govinda's buddy David Dhawan? "I'd love her to assist David. But I don't think Narmada wants to do my kind of acting. I'd like her to be known as a serious actress. Though comedy is very tough, she'll have to deal with that later."
Govinda adds, "When I came into movies I had no guidance. Narmada has me to hold her hand. She's blessed."

"No chocolates for Hrehaan" - Hrithik Roshan
The one treat that Hrithik's little son looked forward to on his second birthday recently was …chocolate cake! Little Hrehaan isn't allowed that bit of culinary indulgence. Says the protective papa, "He can have all kinds of cake…except chocolate. I feel his body doesn't need it for the first few years. Actually, you don't need chocolate at all at any stage of your life. It just displaces your hunger for proper food. That really bothers me. The moment a child has a chocolate, he grows addicted. I allow Hrehaan to have all kinds of cakes. But not chocolate. As it is, from the time he has a life of his own with his friends, he'll have all the access to chocolate. Believe me I know."
So is Hrithik a strict dad? "Only as far as Hrehaan's diet is concerned. As a child, I ate the wrong kind of food. In my later years, I really had to clean myself up. It was really tough, and I don't want Hrehaan to go through it. So, I'm conditioning him to do the right thing from the start."
Chocolaty indulgence apart, Hrehaan's second birthday was big fun for the birthday boy and his father. "We had a nice little party in one of the clubs in Juhu. Sussanne organized everything to the last detail. All of Hrehaan's friends were there. We did the usual fun things, like a magic show and an air castle for them to jump around, there was a mini-train and lots and lots of balloons. But Hrehaan was most excited about the chocolate cake." Can't blame the little fellow.
Hrehaan has something else to look forward to. He has a little sister/brother coming up in the first week of May. Says Hrithik, "I'm really looking forward it. Fatherhood will be equally beautiful the second time around. It cannot be any other way."

A Sneak Peak at Little Hrehaan, Son of Hrithik Roshan
Source: Mid-day
Surprising as it may sound, few people knew what Hrithik and Sussanne Roshan’s bundle of joy Hrehaan looks like. Since his birth on March 28, 2006, he has been hidden from the public gaze.
But we finally got a glimpse of Hrithik Jr! The tot was clicked playing with his dad during the shoot of Hrithik’s item number, Break Free, for Krazzy 4.
A lot like Zayed
Those who have watched Hrehaan grow compare the moppet to his maternal uncle, actor Zayed Khan. “He has Hrithik’s eyes and Sussanne’s complexion. Also, everyone is drawing parallels between him and the way Zayed looked when he was small.
There’s a hint of Zayed’s naughty flair in Hrehaan,” notes a source known to the family.
The source adds, “Hrehaan had a whale of a time on the sets of the film. Even though he’s just two years old, he reacts to everything said to him. He also has a sense of music and rhythm. Everyone feels like it’s in his genes since Hrithik is such a terrific dancer.”
Impromptu visit
Hrehaan’s visit to the set was an impromptu one, and everyone was thrilled to bits to get a glimpse of the kid. “Not everyone knew that he was Hrehaan Roshan, though,” adds the source. Hrehaan will have soon have company Sussanne is due in May.
When Aryan motivated SRK
Shah Rukh Khan had brought along son Aryan while shooting for the Dard E Disco track in Om Shanti Om last year. While SRK was showing his newly-developed six-pack abs, we saw Aryan flaunting his cutely, too. According to SRK, Aryan motivated him to build a six-pack abs.

Shekhar Suman talks about Son, Adhyayan
On Adhyayan Joining Films
In know Adhyayan wanted to be an actor ever since he was a kid. So we sent him to London to pursue Theater and media studies. After that he also did a course in Film direction at the New York film academy. It is important for him to debut in a good film. He got a good break in Kumar Mangat’s Hale Dil. He has also signed 2 films with Mohit Suri. He got his offers at 19, even before I could plan a launch for him. I am sure that in future I will direct him in my own film. Money should be secondary at the start of one’s career. He is lucky in that sense. When I started off I was in need of money, but Adhyayan can say no to a lot of projects without thinking about money
What’s your son saying about your six-pack?
Adhyayan keeps saying, ‘Watch out dad, I’m catching up’. He says that he is tired of people telling him that his dad looks like his brother.
He will soon be venturing into the acting world?
He is 19 and I think, he has all the trappings of a great actor. Adhyayan is debuting with Kumar Mangat’s Hal E Dil opposite Mangat’s daughter Amita. He has Raaz 2 by Mohit Suri and another Rs 20 to Rs 30 crore venture to be directed by Suri.
Will you be recommending him?
He doesn’t need any recommendations. Maybe, he will recommend me.

Meet Trishala, Daughter of Sanjay Dutt
She is beautiful, young and like her father speaks straight from her heart. Meet Trishala Dutt, Sanjay Dutt’s only child and the apple of his eyes…
Early Memories…
I’ve spent my entire childhood being raised in Queens, New York. Unfortunately, when I was little, my mother got very ill. But she was a strong woman and even though she was so sick, she still took care of me very well. I often wonder why God had to take my mother away from me, as it is pretty hard growing up without a mother. My mother used to call me her ‘baby doll’, and in a picture album that we have, she wrote me a message saying how much she loves me and that I mean the entire world to her. I will treasure that forever, and will always miss her presence in my life. But I’ve grown up fine, as I have an awesome family behind me.
Growing Up…
My grandparents, my mom’s parents, are amazing. They always tell me that they see my mother through me and I feel so proud to hear that. My aunts, Abha and Enna, have fulfilled my every whim and given me immense love. They have helped me through so much in my life. Without them, I have no idea what I would be doing. My aunt Enna lives with me and out of everyone from my mother’s side, I’m the closest to her. She is my support system. She is strict when she needs to be but is also very protective about me. Enna has sacrificed a lot for me and I’m very thankful to her. She and my dad have spoilt me to death.
Family…
I am very proud to be a part of the Dutt legacy. My dadaji (the late Sunil Dutt) was a fabulous person and absolutely doted on me. And every time he would come to New York, the first phone call he would make would be to me. He would take me to the most lavish restaurants in town. His death was a huge shock to the entire family, especially me. I felt as if a part of me had died. I thank God that I was able to be so close to him. I wish I could have met my grandmother (Nargis), who was absolutely gorgeous and had such a beautiful smile. I love her movies and watch them all the time. At times, when I am in a philosophical mood, I just tell myself that my dadaji, dadi and mother have gone for a long vacation and it’s just a matter of time until we meet again.
My other aunts (Priya and Namrata) are also great fun to be with and I am very close to my two cousins, Saachi and Siya (Namrata and Kumar Gaurav’s daughters). They are not even my cousins – they are my sisters! You won’t believe the amount we laugh when we are together. In India, I’m very close to Ranbir and Riddhima Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor’s children) because Ranbir studied here in the US and my aunt Enna was his guardian. Out here, my classmate Farah is one of my closest friends.
Education…
My mother wanted me to attend a private school because she felt they offered better education. But, believe me, I do not recommend private schooling to anybody. I went through hell with the teachers and other students. Honestly, I never knew children could be so mean. And private school teachers were not really kind towards small children. When I felt I couldn’t handle it any longer, I told my mom and grandparents about it. They immediately switched me to a public school. Coming out of the restricted private school atmosphere was absolute freedom. My confidence went up several notches and I ended up being very popular in high school. When I graduated in June 2006, I realized that I would really miss those days.
Life in the US…
I feel I can be myself here in the US — I do not have to worry about anyone recognizing me and reporting back to others exactly in detail about who I am, what I am wearing, whether I am nice or stuck up etc. I can go to college, work hard, and still relax. Being brought up in the US is pretty cool. You’re not judged harshly and I guess I like that. Of course, I have restrictions — I’m only allowed to go out once a week with friends when college starts. I also have a 11 p.m. deadline, and sometimes if I ask nicely and if I’ve been good, then my
folks stretch it a bit by half-an-hour. But I’m still trying to negotiate with my family. I do kid at times and tell them that for every year that I get older, my curfew time should get bumped up by an hour. I have not got my answer from them yet, though I’m still trying! But jokes apart, today, thanks to my upbringing, I don’t hesitate in speaking my mind and telling people exactly what I feel, good or bad.
Choosing a career in law…
I decided to get a degree in law from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. I want to arm myself with a degree in law, both for dad and myself. Dad is very proud that I am studying for a law degree. He had told me once that education is very important for an individual and I should always make sure that I complete whatever I start. And that is exactly what I’m going to do.
Ultimate Dream…
Honestly, if I get a chance, in a heartbeat, I would fight as a lawyer for my father. My mouth would not stop rattling until my point had been heard, and until I get what I want. I would continue fighting until I hear the answer my ears want to hear. You can say I’m a fighter as well, who is not scared to say what is right. If I feel something can be done, I will not sleep until it is done. And if I know in my heart that nothing can be done, then at least there is the satisfaction that I tried and did the best I could to give justice to my father!
Daddy’s daughter…
I did not get a chance to be close to my dad during my childhood for various factors, ranging from my mother’s illness to my father’s court case… And I remember how much I used to crave for dad then! My earliest memories of him are very vivid. I remember once when dad came to New York, we (my grandparents, dad and aunt) all went out for dinner. After dinner, dad had to leave because he had a flight to catch. I remember crying and telling him not to leave me. He said something I’ll never forget: ‘Whenever you miss me and feel sad, I want you to close your eyes, and I’ll be right there.’ Even today when I think about it, I get very emotional.
Tough Times…
Dad has been through hell and back, for so many years. When he went to jail the first time, I was so young that I did not know what was going on until much later. Over the years, I’ve realized what he has gone through and how much he has suffered. His jail sentence has hurt me tremendously and I’m completely drained emotionally and physically. I can just imagine how bad it must be for dad. But dad is a fighter, and whatever happens, he will always come out a winner. Today, I’ve realized how brave he really is. If I were him, I would have gone crazy with whatever has happened. But he has stood tall and strong. Honestly, not only is he my father, he is my hero.
Accepting Dad’s relationships…
Recently, I was asked questions about my dad’s personal life. I had answered that I wanted to be the only woman in my father’s life. By this, I did NOT mean it in a way as if I were very possessive of him! He is my father but he has the right to do whatever he
wants. I can say what I feel but at the end of the day, it is his decision to be with whomsoever he wants, which is how it should be!
But I know my opinion means a lot to him and I am sure that no one will ever come between us. Since I have not spent much time with him during my childhood, I do not want anyone coming between ‘our time together’ now. I want to be able to make up for those lost years. All I’d like to say is that my relationship with dad is perfect.
An acting career...
My dad has never said ‘no’ to me for Bollywood. Yes, I know he would not approve. But he does have a soft spot for me, so I think it will be okay later on. But before I do anything, I will complete my degree in law. Maybe in about three years or so, after I complete my degree, I may come down to Mumbai and join films. My options are open.
I really can’t pinpoint what kind of role I’d like to do, but I think I would like to do some challenging roles that show off my acting prowess. I would love to do a father-daughter film with my dad. I think the emotions that would come out of that would be strong, especially since he and I already have such a strong emotional bond. I did get a few Hollywood offers but I had to turn them down because of my college. My studying schedule is very tough and I did not want to be left behind in any of my classes. Nevertheless, as an actor, I would not want to start off the way my father started off — absolutely raw. Simply because nowadays, you need to have some basic knowledge of acting as that makes you much smarter and more prepared for the role. I have dabbled in short term acting courses, like the one I used to go to at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute in New York every summer. But this summer, I gave it a miss, as I was too tense about my father’s case.
Dad, the actor…
My dad is a fantastic actor. When I was a child, I did not know how big a celebrity my father was! Now I know how superb an actor my dad is and have watched so many of his films. My favourite film of his is ‘Vaastav’ because his role in it is so unique and the ending, so emotional and strong. Every time I see it, I just go weak. ‘Munnabhai MBBS’
and ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ too are amazing and I have watched them so many times — I do not think I have ever laughed so hard watching any film! I am so proud that Sanjay Dutt is my father. In fact, just calling him ‘dad’ puts a smile on my face.
Hope for the future…
My father deserves to be a free man. He has suffered enough! He has changed so much in these past years. I’ve lost my mother and now, keep dreading that my dad will be taken away from me. But I’m going to be brave, like he told me to be. And I know everything will be all right! My father deserves his freedom and honestly, today, all I want to say is that I just want to see him happy, healthy and free… That is all I wish for!
All I’d like to tell dad is: Dad, I’m always with you and I love you. You’re such a brave person and I hope one day, I can be just as brave as you are. I have faith in God and I know everything will turn out well. Not a day goes by when I do not miss you. I really love you and have full faith that you’ll emerge a winner!

Trishala With Dad Sanjay Dutt
A letter written by Trishala to Sanjay Dutt
Source: ‘Times of India’ {31 July 2007}
Good morning, Dad
Today is a very important day for me. More important than any other day that has shaped my life. Your fate will be decided today. And I feel so helpless because I’m physically away from you at such a crucial time. When I was growing up, I needed you, but you weren’t there.
When my school mates would go on a vacation with their families, I would be left alone, wondering why I was deprived of my father’s love. Now I need you more than I ever did and I know that you need me too. But never mind, Dad, I am next to you always, praying for your wellbeing. I know God will hear my prayers this time.
Dad, I am just so tired of all the trauma that you are going through. When will this ordeal get over? I have full faith in God and the judiciary. They will do justice to you. All these years, I know you have been silently suffering and now you deserve some peace and happiness. I know life is uncertain, but this kind of uncertainty in your life for so long is killing not just you - but the entire family. I feel your punishment is done with, you have suffered enough, and now you need to be set free.
Sunday was your birthday and it pained me to know that you couldn’t enjoy the day as you usually do. I don’t know what present I can give you. Nothing can match my earnest prayers and wishes. Perhaps, I crave for your freedom more than you do. I want to spend more time with you now. August 10 is my birthday, and I wish to spend it with you. That’s my deepest wish and it will be my greatest gift. I want come to India forever and be with you.
I miss you, Dad. I know I talk to you everyday, but I want to be close to you. I have so many things to share with you these days. I love your “dos and don’ts” over the phone. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to upset you ever. You have been teaching me so many things, but the most important lesson you gave me, is to value money. I am still learning. I know you hate my spendthrift nature. That is one thing, Dad that I am struggling to change. What to do? I am just a 19-year-old girl, and you know we have so many needs. But don’t worry, Dad, I am very obedient as far as other things go. You want me to complete my degree and I am doing fine in that aspect. You’ll be proud of me.
I have one more wish for you, Dad. I don’t want you to get married to anybody. I may sound selfish, but it’s my love that’s speaking. I haven’t ever discussed this with you. I don’t know why, but I have a strong hunch that people use you for the wrong reasons. And you are naive not to understand. But I can see through all the games that women play to win you over. I am a girl, Dad, and I know how to extract anything from a guy. I just have to smile and act like a lost babe in the woods. But I am not one and I know exactly what I want. So please don’t get fooled by these acts. You don’t need any other women in your life now. One woman in your life, and that’s me, is good enough. I will be there with you all the time. I want to move back to Mumbai just to be with you. So please hang on.
But having expressed my deepest desires, I also want you to listen to me only if it makes you happy. I am happy if you are. That’s how my love for you is. I will sacrifice everything for you, Dad I just want to see you happy. You are the ‘bestest’ and the strongest Dad in the world. PS: I love you always. Trish
Trishala With Sanjay
An Interview with Trishala
Being the daughter of Sanjay "Munnabhai" Dutt has to have its glories but hardly ever do you gain without having to lose. "I get so many people after me and who they really are is not always who they show me. Deep down they’re such full of drama. I hate drama. I can’t stand it and I will not deal with it." She continues, "People come up to me, singing my dad’s songs like ‘Ishq Samundar’ and then blasting the music because they see me walking. I hate people like that."
It’s hard to argue with something like that. Often times when we’re over-shadowed by a larger personality, people tend to view us as an extension of that person rather than an individual. Not only is it hurtful, but demoralizing as well. Expressing her frustration, "It’s hard. Why can’t you just come up to me and say ‘Hi. I just wanted to say…’" It all started back when she was in High School she tells and she for one will have you know that popularity is not all that it promises to be. "It was the toughest four years of my life."
But just like her father, underneath the tough, hard shell is something gooey soft. Her uncanny maturity and professional outlook was only a couple of things that caught peoples eye. After holding back long enough, she finally answers about her future plans, and if films were waiting for her just around the corner. "Yes there are [acting plans] but not in Bollywood. I’m doing much better off in Hollywood, as I’ve got a few offers but had to turn them down due to my age and schoolwork. It was very upsetting." Impressively, some of the films she’s already turned down include Saw III (October 27), Marie Antoinette (October 20), and Casino Royale (November 16). She’s also signed a contract with the popular specialty-clothing store Abercrombie & Fitch. Upsetting it must have been in deed, but her patience is undeniable.
"Everything happens for a reason," she tells me calmly. "I had to make a choice: Either sacrifice my entire life and pray the film does well. Or, I finish school and get a degree in something solid, so just in case, I have something to fall back on. I chose college over those films releasing now that I could have been in." And once again with that envious dose of patience she says, "I’m still young. There will be others."
What makes a person wise? Is it the money they have, contacts they know, or the ability to see from a composed, all-encompassing perspective? For Trishala it’s the latter. Such an understanding of purpose and place is rarely realized by many star-children who have blindly jumped into the center-stage of glitz and glamour.
Many who have followed Sanjay Dutt’s career know that his journey has been nothing but smooth sailing. From the untimely death of his first wife, Richa Sharma, to the child custody battle with his in-laws, to his alleged involvement in the 1993 Mumbai bombings; he has still emerged victorious as an actor, a human being, and a father. "I have a very strong relationship with him," she says. "Most people think he and I aren’t very close but they’re wrong. Just because I don’t see him everyday doesn’t mean him and me aren’t close. I talk to him, I’d say, every three days?"
Asked Trishala whether or not her dad had ever expressed interest towards her entering Bollywood – a very current issue, as the recent past has seen an emergence of the star-children generation. "For Bollywood it’s completely different now. He used to express interest, but now its just stay out of it." Further justifying his stance, "Girls are used mainly as props for films, which he does not want me getting into." Once again one finds little basis to argue. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule (i.e. Kalpana Lajmi’s films).
In response to Bollywood’s foil, Hollywood: "In Hollywood you can pick and choose what you want and don’t want to do.
In Bollywood you have to do what is required. Ultimately it’s the director who is going to make you a star for a Bollywood actress. If you’re good, you last maximum 3-4 years and then you become "old" because someone new has come."
Many in the past have expressed this very concern with Hollywood’s counterpart. Yet still Bollywood seems to remain the twinkle in the eyes of so many woman in India, hoping that after jumping through enough hoops and over enough hurdles they’ll emerge as the next Madhuri Dixit of Indian cinema.
But don’t get her wrong; Trishala had been a pretty big fan of that very Industry. "I used to know every single movie and every single song. I guess that was when I was younger. I got older, signed with modeling contracts and offers, and I’m doing law for now. I just lost touch with it."
In response to some of her father’s most memorable performances for her: "I would have to say in his movie Vaasatv; in the end how he gets his mother to shoot her own son. That scene was very emotional and strong. I’ll never forget it." Well Trishala, I have a feeling you’re not the only one who found that scene immensely impactful! "Also in Munnabhai. The scene where he helps one of the patients to live life and be happy." Both father and daughter have a tremendous amount of respect and love for one another. The distance between them may serve as an inconvenience, but by no means is it a barrier. His daughter looks up to him, as do many around the world. Like father like daughterTrishala Dutt, with her ravishing good looks, beautiful heart, and impressive maturity, will be on the high road to success in no time.

Trishala With Dad Sanjay Dutt
An interview given to Mid-Day in August 2007, when her dad was sentenced in the Mumbai Bomb blast case
What are you feeling?
I am shattered and speechless. Why did it have to happen to an honest man like him?
Did you speak to your father?
Yes, I’ve been in constant touch with dad since early morning. In fact, we almost broke down last night on the phone. He even spoke to me before he entered the court.
Did he sound low?
Yes, dad was stressed out but made a point of not showing it to me. I can’t imagine what he must be going through at this moment. I am scared and worried for him.
Have you spoken to him since the sentencing?
Dad means the world to me and I am missing him a lot. I want to speak to him at once.
Do you have any plans to come to India?
Dad didn’t want me to come and face the judicial proceedings. After consulting my aunts and grandparents here (New York), I shall decide what to do.
