Do not compare Indian awards with Oscars says Abhishek

Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan feels it is futile for Indian media to compare Indian film award functions to a ceremony like Oscars because here most such functions are organised by the media houses themselves.

"Interesting to see read a lot of the media comparing the Oscars to our Indian awards. Most seem to think that we need to improve, raise our standards... Wait a minute... Aren't most of OUR awards run and held by media houses," Abhishek wrote on Twitter.

"Take the initiative, we shall follow," he added, taking a dig at mediapersons, who hailed Sunday night's 84th Academy Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles.

Some lauded the ceremony for its transparent system of winner selection, while some celebrities like Mini Mathur are impressed with the right titles to the awards.

Beyond offbeat films, I want comedy, romance: Mahie Gill

Saturday, February 25, 2012

Bollywood Actress Mahie Gill, who started her film career with Anurag Kashyap's Dev D, a modern day take on Devdas, says it's not a conscious decision to star in offbeat films. In fact, she wants to explore other genres too.

"I wanted to work with intelligent and good directors...these are the kind of films that they are making. They are offbeat subjects, interesting subjects, new subjects. I am lucky that I am doing that kind of roles," said Mahie.

"But at the same time as an actor, I need to explore myself further because I too want to do comedies, I want to do romantic roles," added the 36-year-old.

The critically acclaimed actress played characters with negative shades in Sahib, Biwi aur Gangster and Not a Love Story, and says there's a special reason behind it.

"A lot of my directors tell me that I have a very innocent face. So when with an innocent face you play a character with negative shades, it looks even more interesting," said Mahie.

Mahie is currently busy promoting her forthcoming film Paan Singh Tomar, which has Irrfan Khan as the male lead. Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, the film hits theatres March 2.

Celebs have edge over genuine social workers: Salman

Salman Khan, who runs charity organisation Being Human for underprivileged people, feels that due to media coverage movie stars tend to have an edge over others who sincerely work toward the betterment of society. And he is not too happy about it.

"We (celebrities) have an edge because we are there on every TV and every screen, good films, bad films, stuff like what we do in restaurants...So, we are there all over and we have an advantage over people who are really great people, and have not been given the coverage because of TRP ratings," the 46-year-old said here.

"It sucks because if you are doing that kind of (social) work, and nobody knows about you, it`s weird," he added.

Salman keeps doing his bit as a socially concerned citizen. He sells his paintings, and the proceeds are used for the welfare of the underprivileged.

Last seen in `Bodyguard,` Salman will soon be seen sharing screen space with ex-flame Katrina Kaif in `Ek Tha Tiger.`

The high court had, on January 28, dismissed the PIL filed by the duo and imposed a cost of Rs. 20,000 on them saying that it was a "publicity petition".

The PIL had alleged that the actor had constructed the building inside the compound of his bungalow in violation of environment and heritage laws.

Khan had, however, contended that there was no violation of rules and the construction was allowed by the municipal body.
