Singer Adnan Sami to get Indian citizenship


In the New Year, noted singer Adnan Sami will become an Indian citizen. He says it's a "New Year gift".

Home ministry officials on Thursday said Sami will be granted citizenship on Friday. The Indian citizenship was granted after he made a representation to the home ministry on May 26 requesting for it on humanitarian grounds.

"This is the New Year gift for me. I am thankful to the Indian government. I am very happy today," Sami, who is of Pakistani origin, told reporters here.

Born in Britain and hitherto a Canadian citizen, Sami has been living in India on visa since March 2001. He was last given a visa extension in October this year.

The singer, who became a sensation in the country with hit songs like "Kabhi to nazar milao" and "Lift karaa de", spoke to the media before leaving for Mumbai airport to catch a flight to the capital on Thursday.

Sami, who is known for playing a variety of musical instruments and is a known name for his distinct voice, has always maintained that the love he has received from Indian citizens is "everything" for him.

"When my first album came out, it wasn't Bollywood. The love that I received from people was everything and it still is everything for me. After 16 years, it is not just the land where I work, but also my home and my love," Sami, who has sung in Bollywood movies and even for albums, had said at a conclave here earlier this year.

His last Bollywood track was "Bhar do jholi", which featured in Salman Khan's blockbuster "Bajrangi Bhaijaan".

Kriti talks about her special chemistry with Sushant


Kriti talks about her special chemistry with Sushant


They are yet to begin shooting for filmmaker Dinesh Vijan's next, but actress Kriti Sanon already feels her chemistry with Sushant Singh Rajput is special. The duo will be seen sharing screen space in the yet-untitled project for the first time. The "Dilwale" actress said after enacting a scene from the upcoming film with Sushant, she felt they had an instant spark.

"Dinesh asked us to do a scene from the movie. We were sitting on the sofa and did it impromptu. There was something special, something you can't describe in words. There was a connect, a spark, some chemistry between me and Sushant even though that was the first time we met."

"So, that kind of thing coming out in the first meeting was very different and unique for all of us. The film has a beautiful script. It is something which we three are very passionate about and there is some great energy between three of us," Kriti told PTI.

Without divulging details about the film, the 25-year-old actress said it will present a different side of her to the audience. "It is about love, dreams, destiny... I feel it will show a different side of me to the audience. It is different from what I have already done. I will be starting Feb end-March beginning. Sushant would be done with 'Dhoni...' by then."

"After that we will go into a little prep and then begin shooting. I remember the first time I met Dinesh a few months ago, it was for something else and while talking, he narrated me this script. Sushant was already involved with it. I went back home and it stayed with me for days and after some time I met Dinesh and told him that I would love to do the film."

She is just two-film-old and though aware of the competition around, Kriti is in no hurry to sign films. "I consider everyone a competition. I don't keep a tab on their work but there is a good, healthy competition. Whether it is Alia, Shraddha or Parineeti everyone is doing so well. They have done so many films. Technically, I am the newest of all. Everyone is being picky and choosy," she said.

While Kriti comes from a non-film background, many of her contemporaries are star kids, who enjoy backing from the industry. The actress, however, thinks the filmy association helps an actor only for the initial part of the career and beyond that it is one's hardwork that does the talking.

"When you belong to a filmy family, you can get an advantage in the first few opportunities. I totally believe that beyond a certain number of films, it is only your talent that can take you ahead. I don't think just belonging to a film background; you can survive in the industry. I have gotten used to the place now..."

When SRK had schizophrenic experience


When SRK had schizophrenic experience


Shah Rukh Khan says playing a superstar and his young lookalike admirer in Maneesh Sharma's 'Fan' was physically draining but a "very interesting and schizophrenic" experience.

Shah Rukh, who finished shooting the Yash Raj film that is currently on its extensive post-production, says it was tough to transform himself into a 24-year-old person every day with the help of prosthetics.

"Physically, it was extremely challenging to become 24. The prosthetics took about four hours... The guy is a lookalike of someone who he loves. His story is a lot similar like mine.

"He follows the star as he feels the star is from Delhi and he can also be like his idol some day. But the story is different... To capture all that was very interesting and schizophrenic. I just hope that I have turned it out just okay," Shah Rukh told PTI.

The 50-year-old actor is happy that he got the opportunity to play a Delhi-based boy in the film. "I am glad that I got the opportunity to play a Delhi boy. I used to hate it when actors, who are not from Delhi, will play Delhi guys. I used to think why I have not been given the chance to play a Delhi boy as I come from there. I am very happy now. I had forgotten the accent. It's good to recapture that."

SRK says as far as the role of superstar Aryan Khanna is concerned, it is a milder version of his public persona. "He is actually very quiet unlike the flamboyance you see of me coming out on my birthday and waving at thousands of people.

"I don't do the same in that film. We have never shown the star at shooting. We have never shown his flamboyance. That's very different. That's itself is very internalised because that's how perhaps I am at home, very normal and regular."

The teaser of the movie has already captured the attention of fans as SRK's appearance is different despite resembling him. Asked whether he is expecting to sweep all the awards Shah Rukh jokingly said, "I am just waiting for the National award as I have decided to retire after getting one."

Introducing former model Waluscha De Sousa as female lead, the film will release on April 15 next year.

OMG! Fresh legal woes for Salman Khan?


OMG! Fresh legal woes for Salman Khan?

The traders association of Khan Market in the national capital is contemplating legal action against Bollywood star Salman Khan for alleged "trademark infringement" by naming his online shopping portal khanmarketonline.com after the posh South Delhi market.

"We have objection to the name of his portal as Khan Market is a renowned entity known not only in India but across the globe. This portal is misusing our market's name and hence amounts to trademark infringement," said Sanjiv Mehra, president of Khan Market Traders' Association.



"Khan Market is a global brand, people across the globe know it by this name. Salman Khan should have taken us into confidence before using the market's name for his portal. The courts in Delhi are closed right now. Meanwhile, we are seeking legal advice on the issue. We may approach the actor and ask him to change the portal's name. If he doesn't agree then we will take the legal route," he added.

Salman had unveiled the shopping portal on his 50th birthday on December 27.

Though the portal is yet to become operational, potential customers can register on the site.

The traders body said that Salman's portal will not only leave shoppers confused but also add to the woes of the shopkeepers in the 65-year-old market that has 156 shops and 35 restaurants.

"If his portal announces discount on a product, people will approach us thinking that the discount is being offered by us. It will leave our customers confused and create problems for us," Mehra said.

Someday, I'll make 'Madamji': Priyanka

Priyaka Chopra, who was excited to turn producer with her ambitious project "Madamji", says she will make the movie someday.

Asked about the status of "Madamji", she said: "'Madamji' is on hold and this film is very close to my heart. For this film, I have to give 70 days for shoot but since my show ('Quantico') got extended, I couldn't do it. Hopefully, someday I will make it. But right now I am not doing it."

The project is to be directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, who directed Priyanka for her National Award winning role in "Fashion".

As of now, she is riding high on the plaudits earned for "Bajirao Mastani", in which she has played Kashibai, Bajirao's wife.

Priyanka says she finds no competition in the film industry.

"I don't have time to see others' career. I'm setting my own milestone. I am thankful to filmmakers who write characters for me," said the actress, for whom 2015 turned out to be immensely successful with an international project like "Quantico" coming her way.
