But there’s a certain section of people who have found the song to be too vulgar. However, director Farah Khan refutes such charges and says that she has not used any of her heroines in a vulgar way. Farah says, ‘I didn’t use Katrina for titillation. She was comfortable also because she knew I was not trying to expose her or do something for titillation. She trusted me and I would never ever portray my heroines in a vulgar way.’ Continuing in the same vein, she says, ‘She is looking sexy and sensuous but not vulgar or obscene. I would not shoot angles like that. If she was not comfortable with a take, I would immediately change it. And then she uses that voice which my daughters use when they want chocolate.’ Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:”Table Normal”; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:”"; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} .

Is Salman fine with SRK's 'Two States'?

Meanwhile one does wonder what Salman Khan is feeling about the recent developments. His ‘Jaan-E-Mann’, when released alongside ‘Don’, couldn’t face tough competition that Shah Rukh Khan gave when the two films released on the same day. Moreover, Shah Rukh and Salman are still not on good terms. “Well, it’s all about having strong business acumen, something that Shah Rukh as well as Sajid understand,” says an insider, “It’s Bollywood and one has to see what works best for everyone’s career progression. Shah Rukh Khan has now done three back to back intense films with ‘My Name Is Khan’, ‘Ra.One’ and sequel to ‘Don’. He too would want to let his hair down with a commercial entertainer like this where he would be playing a quintessential Punjabi man.” “On the other hand Sajid Nadiadwala is one of the only 3-4 independent producers who are making multi crore extravaganzas with reigning superstars in Bollywood,” he continues, “To build his empire further, Sajid is doing nothing wrong in getting Shah Rukh, Akshay as well as Salman for his next three films. And not to forget that he would also be starting a film with Shahid Kapoor (Heer And Raanjha) soon. I am sure his close friends would understand where he is coming from.” . Read Full Post

Will The Real Mr. Jinnah Please Identify Himself
From the Blog All Things Pakistan: Will The Real Mr. Jinnah Please Identify Himself - Adil Najam “> I happen to be in Pakistan on this December 25 and have spent the last many days and specially today devouring the great out-pouring of ' Jinnah-spection”> ' that is on display all over the country, on television, in the press. As a Jinnah fan myself and having devoted”> so many posts on ATP on exactly the same question , part of me is delighted by the intensity and level of the discourse. More so, because I sense this is not just khanna purri , it is in fact real introspection. However, what struck me is that nearly the entire discussion is about figuring out the "real vision" of the Quaid-i-Azam, Mr. M.A. Jinnah . That after so many years we are still searching for that "vision' is a statement not about Mr. Jinnah, but about our own national confusion. Part of me feels that it is time that we acknowledge and confront our own national confusions without using (and misusing) Mr. Jinnah for our ideological skirmishes. Let the man be please. He did what he needed to do. And a did a remarkable job of it. What we did beyond that, was our doing and only we need to accept responsibility for it. Honor him for what he achieved, but please lets spare him the dissection; specially since the purpose seems to have little to do with understanding the essence of his achievements and much more with scoring points about what we are inclined to believe already and anyhow. I should confess that this thought has been haunting me some weeks now, ever since I joined Dr. Akbar Ahmed at a recent panel at Harvard University marking Mr. Jinnah's anniversary . Akbar Sahib is one of our leading authorities on the subject (including his movie and books on Mr. Jinnah) and in our conversation with the audience after his lecture the question of the "real Mr. Jinnah" came up again and again. As he pointed out, this question is not about Mr. Jinnah at all. It is about us ourselves. On this 25th of December as we celebrate Mr. Jinnah, it is time to recognize this fact. Let us please honor Mr. Jinnah for what he was, and not torture his memories with that which we ourselves have failed to become. His achievements were a great blessing for all of us, but our failures are all our own . Let us accept that. To do so will itself be a first step in truly honoring him . . Read Full Post
