Shruti, 23, is the eldest of two daughters born to Kamal and actress Sarika and has a professional degree in music from the Musicians Institute, California. She has also learnt “North Indian classical music”. But now Tamil thespian Kamal Haasan says his name is a “disadvantage” for his daughter Shruti Haasan but “she will have to live with it”.
“It is certainly a disadvantage for her, but she’ll have to work with it that she is my daughter. She can’t change it and she’ll have to live with it and carry that luggage. And I’ll always be there to support her,” Kamal told in an interview.
Not many know that she debuted as a playback singer at the age of six, in ‘Thevar Magan’ (1992) and her first Bollywood playback came in ‘Chachi 420′ (1998). Her second Hindi song came in ‘Hey Ram’ (2000), in which she sung the bilingual versions of the title track ‘Rama Rama’ with her father, in both Hindi and Tamil. She also made a brief appearance in ‘Hey Ram’.
Her last released film song was in Gautham Menon’s ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’. Apart from singing, Shruti has also been a model and featured in magazines like “Frappe!” and “Verve”.
Kareena Kapoor is finally going to play a full-fledged role in Saif Ali Khan’s home production ‘Agent Vinod’. She wants the spy drama to be hot and says even the posters will be designed to portray them as Bollywood’s “coolest hot pair”.
It is being said that in the beginning, Kareena’s role in the film was relatively less substantial than Saif’s. But Kareena told to media such that: “Do you think I’d agree to be part of the film if my role was not as exciting as Saif? I mean, can you imagine what would happen? Saif and I will be smouldering hot in ‘Agent Vinod’. Even the posters will be designed to highlight us as the coolest hot pair.”
Tamannaah Bhatia is taking South Indian cellulloid by storm! Come ‘Ayan’, and Kollywood would literally dance to the tunes of this Bollywood dropout.
The bubbly teenager, who started her acting career with ‘Chand Sa Roshan Chehra’ at the age of 13, became a star overnight following the release of ‘Happy Days’ (2007) in Telugu.
The Dhanush superhit, ‘Padikkadhavan’, has helped Tamannaah overtake Nayantara in terms of Oomph quotient. On the cards are Gandhi Krishna’s ‘Anandha Taandavam’, Karthi starrer ‘Paiyya’ and Bharath’s ‘Thambikku Indha Ooru’.

Every year bring its own delights, disasters and dreams. What about 2009? We believe it has the potential for big changes – changes that will bring cheer. There will be a political change, as every general election bring. The coming elections have the potential of rising audacious hope. In this 2009 – ‘Year of change’ we will expect – how these polls and election could be different from previous ones.
We also want to look at the economy and assess for the following year. In fact, the 2008 gloom would give away to distinct optimism. Art and culture are expected to flower as they often do it in hard times. Bollywood is expected to wheel out feel – good stuff. And our cricketers are confident of emerging as No 1 in 2009.
So we can expect for a good things in this upcoming year as a Change of Year – 2009 for all Indians………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She has a lot at stake on the box-office fortunes of such as ‘Kandhasamy’, in which she plays the lead opposite to veteran actor Vikram.
She is also busy with the Hollywood flick in addition to the Kandasamy. But, as fate would have it, the recent Hollywood film as well as a couple of her highly expected Bollywood releases bombed due to their poor casting.

Hi all…!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Katrina Kaif is all set to present a car to cinematographer Kabir Lal, who worked wither in Subhas Ghai’s forth coming film with Yuvraj. Initially Katrina and Kabir had differences because while working in Anil Sharma’a Apne – Katrina was not happy with Kabir’s work. Bollywood source said that,” When Katrina learnt that Ghai and Kabir in Yuvraj, she tried to reason with Ghai that she was not too happy with him. But Ghai stood his ground and Kabir continued working in the film. One day, Katrina said on the sets that if Kabir works pleased her she would gift him a car.”
Also she was not too sure, if things were going well in the initial stages, but slowly and surely they broke the ice and Katrina realized that Kabirs work this time was indeed very impressive. Actually, she has never been photographed as beautifully in the past as she has been in Yuvraj.
Bollywood Queen Katrina loves taking up the challenges and living up to them too. So, when Subhash Ghai required her to play the cello in Yuvraj where she co-stars with Salman Khanand Anil Kapoor, the actress took up the bowed string instrument used in chamber music as a challenge. And, in three months, proved to be quite adept at playing it… if not a first class cellist.
While Ghai and Kapoor were most encouraging, her mischievous boyfriend Salman Khan her throughout. “It’s an exhilarating experience to be able to play an instrument as complexes the cello,” admitted Katrina. Her strategy was to focus more on learning the correct body language and to be able to sync and strike the right chords, she admitted.
