Posts Tagged ‘Abhishek Bachchan’

Today on Twitter Karan Johar posted this photo of Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan with the caption of ‘The Glamorous Couple’. No doubt that the Bollywood filmmaker was just being descriptive of a nice snap shot, but the post made me think of who would be Bollywood’s most “Glamorous Couple”.

It would have to involve a duo who are both involved in the industry, are successful at their craft, and popularity is always a plus; marriage is another point-getter, but not necessary. So what couple would I choose?

One obvious couple would be Shahrukh Khan and wife Gauri! Shahrukh is arguably the biggest name in Bollywood and though his wife is not as well known, Gauri does do a significant amount of work behind the scenes of films.

Then there are the sexy couples like Bipasha Basu and John Abraham, however, John is not match for the likes of SRK, and although Bipasha is amazing in so many ways it is not enough for me to name them most glamorous. One could also argue Katrina Kaif and whoever she is with at the moment, but I think the glamorous couple should be a little more sturdy.

Finally as most might have already guessed, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan would most definitely be my choice. No offense to any of the previously mentioned couples, but these two are not only successful as a couple, but as seperate individuals as well!

Thanks Karan! That was fun.

“That’s why we play the game,” is the famous sports saying, referring to the small chance that the unlikely can always happen in the heat of a competitive match, and the 2010 FIFA World Cup has proven that games do not always go as planned.

Spain was the most recent team to shock the world by shutting down and defeating the impressive and most dominant team of the tournament, Germany. As mentioned before, many big celebrities in the Bollywood industry have taken a huge interest in the competition, and like everyone else many of those celebs are just as shocked by the results.

The gorgeous female duo of Sherlyn Chopra (pictured above …yum!) and Priyanka Chopra both shared their support for the Spanish and their victory over the Germans. Both displayed messages of excitement and content on Twitter. However not all the reactions from the game were positive!

“Germany my team lost…feel bad taking my lil ones to matches where our team loses…but one day insha allah we will win..trust me kids,” tweeted Shahrukh Khan about his recent trip to South Africa with his family. Way to go dad… Now the kids will think it’s ok to lose!!!

It also seems that Abhishek Bachchan was let down by the Germans as well being that the actor announced, “Its going to take a lot more than an 8 legged oracle to beat the Germans!!!” I guess that octopus knew more about the game than you Abhishek!

Although it is coming close to the end, the 2010 FIFA World Cup is still going on and is still a lot of the buzz amongst some of the biggest names in Bollywood. Shahrukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan have already made their interest in the tournament known, and now fellow Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor is joining the fun.

Shahid has apparently been receiving many questions on Twitter asking about who he is supporting in the World cup, and today Shahid finally let his allegiance known. “For all those asking Brazil and Argentina are my favorites … Argentina a little more,” explained Shahid.

Although Shahid is shocking no one by backing Brazil, his pick of Argentina is very refreshing as opposed to all the banwagon fans that seem to now support Brazil and Spain.

Brazil has a very difficult test set for Saturday as they will face the “Flying Dutchmen” of the Netherlands, whereas, Argentina will also be facing a fierce opponent in the extremely impressive German squad. It seems that Shahid will be undergoing a world of emotions as his teams take the field in the next two days.

Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai, is one of the most most beautiful ladies in the industry today. Even with younger and sexy actresses breaking into the Bollywood film scene, Aishwarya has kept her commitment to working hard and remains one of top leading ladies.

Aishwarya was recently interviewed and during which she was asked about her newest movie, ‘Ravaan’, which also stars the actress’ famous husband, Abhishek Bachchan. “Right now, I think ‘Raavan’ has been the most challenging of all the roles I’ve done in the past,” Aishwarya explains.

Although the actress says that working with her husband is always a pleasure and she admires his professionalism as well as his desire to have a good time with those around him. When asked about her husband and his connection with his father, the ever popular Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya says, “That’s what’s so wonderful about him. Right from the beginning, he did not use that to any kind of advantage. He always says ‘Of course I’m proud to be his son’. You know, he respects it, he takes pride in it.”

Aishwarya promises the movie to be a big success and includes the fact that the work her husband has been doing lately has been all the right choices and she is happy to be a part of that!

It seems as though the success of Abhishek Bachchan’s last decade in the Bollywood industry has led to a abundance of confidence for the actor.

“There has been tremendous learning and I`m still hungry to do a lot more,” announced the actor giving insight to his plans of remaining in the industry for years to come. Abhishek is making film after film as of late and has been fairly successful with every one.

It has not all been bright and sunny for Abhishek though, there was a period of time when it seemed that he couldn’t do anything right. However, Abhishek sees that time in his life as a just another step to achieving a certain greatness. “The low phase that I went through, I think it was necessary. It teaches you a lot. I believe there is no success without failure,” Abhishek said.

As always, any chance to rant about soccer will be fully taken advantage of here, and it seems that perhaps the absolute biggest name in Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan, will also be attending the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The actor plans go enjoy the games with his children as he tweets, “taking kids for the matches in S. Africa. I also have an all girls team, which i coach ha ha.” It seems as though SRK may be an even bigger soccer enthusiast than Abhishek Bachchan, whom Big B (Amitabh Bachchan) revealed will also be attending some matches in South Africa.

The actor goes on to explain his love for the beauty of the sport and how he used to adore watching it with his mother. He also admits that he hopes India will one day become more involved in the soccer nation. “I am surprised that we were the only developing nation which did not take to football. [I] hope new generation takes it up now that we are leaders,” explained SRK.

King Khan also makes it clear who some of his favorite players are and why in this World Cup edition, “[Lionel] Messi unbelieveable. Kaka unstoppable. [Cristiano] Ronaldo speed & grace. [Fernando] Torres unpredictably cool. [Wayne] Rooney is a bull. will miss [Michael] Ballack. Xavi [Hernandez] surprise,” he describes. It appears that the superstar has done his homework, and like everyone else Shahrukh will be looking forward to the magic that is the FIFA World Cup!!!

Abhishek Bachchan has just recently finished shooting his newest film ‘The Game’, and is awaiting the release ‘Raavan’. Abhishek has also been extremely busy with his recent schedule, however, sources have revealed that the actor is planning a leisure trip to Africa.

One of the best things about Abhishek is not his fame, success, or high-profile love life, but instead it is his love for “the beautiful game”, soccer. And with the 2010 Fifa world cup taking place in South Africa, it’s obvious why Abhishek has decided to make this trip.

Amitabh Bachchan (Abhishek’s father) is the one who first admitted his son’s intentions of going to see some of the world class action taking place on the fields in South Africa. Big B claims that he himself attended the final game in the 1994 World Cup between Brazil and Italy, and understands his son’s desire to go. “I know where this is coming from. A World Cup final in Los Angeles many years ago between Italy and Brazil – what a dream match!’ explained Amitabh.

‘Raavan‘, is the next big release for veteran actor Abhishek Bachchan. The movie promises to be a thrilling story with plenty of twists and unexpected curve balls.  Previews of the movie depict Abhishek as somewhat of a rugged warrior, and it will be interesting to see how well he can pull that off.

Abhishek’s career started out a little rocky, but as he has grown and maturedthe actor has made himself one of the biggest names in Bollywood. His role as ‘Beera’, should show a more intense side of Abhishek. His role in the movie is obviously the most pivotal, and it will be interesting to see the relationship between his character and that of his real-life wife, Aishwarya Rai.

The movie is expected to be a instant success, and the Bachchans wouldn’t want it any other way. Abhishek stressed the amount of fun he had in making the film, and will obviously hope that a pairing with his wife will lead to nothing but success.

It seems that every now and then people can get caught up in the rumored and premature relationships that develop between the stars of Bollywood. However, one couple has taken the success that they have achieved separately, and were able to maintain not only a healthy love life but a healthy professional relationship as well.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan have defied the curses of celebrity relationships, and have made their love work on and off screen. ‘Ravaan’, which stars both Abhishek and Aishwarya, will be released on June 18 and showcases the chemistry that the couple can produce on film.

It seems that the two have fallen into a comfortable pattern with one another, and the two will be hoping that their success continues. Though the movie’s description does not mention a love between the couple’s characters, there is always the unforeseen twists and turns that may shift the story line of a movie in that direction. Guess we’ll just have to see in a couple of short weeks.

Well it is the 2nd Sunday of May, and all around the world mothers are being appreciated and pampered. It is always nice to give a little extra credit to that special lady in every one’s life, and it’s even nicer to see that the big stars of Bollywoodtake time to show their love for their moms! Except for Abhishek Bachchan, who was a little preoccupied with Chelsea’s victory in the English Premier League.

Throughout the Twitter world each star has taken some time out to mention their dear old mothers. Vivek Oberoi sent out a pretty flattering message to his mom, “Happy Mother’s day to all the mothers out there….and most of all to my amazing, incomparable and adorable maa!!! Love you maa-ur the best!”

Shahrukh Khan, reflected on his memories of his mother, and admits that the holiday is often a bit sad for him. However, SRK still made sure to acknowledge his lost mother, “ Mothers day reminded me so much of my mom. a soldier in spirit & body carrying on orders of god to give victory to her kids. miss her.”

And even the ladies of Bollywoodtook some time to send love to their mothers. Sherlyn Chopra decided to make herself an honorary mother, but her child is a little more smelly and hairy than most. OK so she does not have a child, but claims her dog as her little ‘diva’ and shared a picture of her and her loved one. That must be one of the happiest dogs in the world. I know I would be if the gorgeous actress laid a kiss on me!

Abhishek Bachchan has been known to be a pretty dedicated actor, but after the stunt he pulled while shooting for ‘Raavan‘ the actor places himself in a completely different league.

Even after director Mani Ratnam instructed the actor against it, Abhishek jumped off a 90 ft. cliff for a stunt in the movie. Obviously his jump was into water, but reports say that there were rocks that could cause potential danger to the actor. The current of the water is another thing the actor had to worry about, but without hesitation he did what he was paid to do and instructed not to.

Yet again everyone must be impressed with Abhishek, he continues to surprise his fans on and off camera. Although I’m sure many fans (including wife Aishwarya Rai) will be displeased after learning about the stunt; people need to understand that not many actors are daring enough to try something like this, except of course Jackie Chan.
