Salman Khan walked the carpet at IIFA, 2007 accompanied by a mystery gal and that sure caught the media attention. The mystery gal in fact, turned out to be Govinda’s daughter Narmada.
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 ...
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 ...
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 t...
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 vi...
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 h...

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 eve...
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 uncert...
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 ...
Trishala on Dad, Bollywood & Hollywood “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. “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 me and him aren’t close. I talk to him, I’d say, every three days?” I 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,...
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.
