The Bachchans goes for a Split

The Bachchan family is one of the most reputed family of Bollywood. But something is apparently brewing in the Bachchan household. Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan are reportedly scouting for a new home.

They are planning to move out of the Bachchans’ heritage home, Jalsa. Just one year into their marriage and the golden couple seems to be all set to start a new life with a new home all to themselves. It’s a known fact that the couple had been doing some property shopping for long.

The couple would be soon moving out of the present residence and shift to a new house. Though they are hunting for a place near to their parents, nothing has been made official as yet.

Bachchan-Kapoor Rivalry Continues

Some time back, it was said that Abhishek Bachchan extended an olive branch to his first co-star, Kareena Kapoor, after the two families went separate ways due to personal reasons. It was also heard that Abhishek and Kareena are likely to star in a movie together.

"Well, the make up decision cannot be taken individually. This one's quite complicated, since the two families are involved now. There's no truth to the news-report about our teaming together. There's no project on the cards either," says Kareena .

Infact she feel offended when Priyanka Chopra stepped in her shoes after Abhishek expressed uneasiness while the casting of DOSTANA was underway. It was also heard that she had problems with John too. but she denies it. "There's no panga with John actually," she says.

Well Panga or no panga but one can definately feel the tension beetween the two big cinema tycoon famalies- Bachchans and Kapoors

Abhishek annoyed by Ash's acts

Aishwarya Rai is known for her giggling. But at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards function in Bangkok earlier this month, she got into much higher spirits, say eye witnesses.

The Bachchans were staying at the plush Dusit Thani hotel in Bangkok. Just before the fashion show, before the award ceremony, Abhishek and Ash were seen coming down the steps of the hotel. The couple were accompanied by actor Kunal Kapoor.

Our source tells us that Ash seemed very high-spirited and was talking loudly. Too loud for the comfort of her husband Abhishek, apparently.

For Abhishek rebuked her for her loudness and asked her to quieten down. Meanwhile, Kunal Kapoor, obviously embarrassed at the turn of events, hurriedly bid goodbye to the couple and walked away.

After that too, Ash was in no mood to listen. Says the eyewitness, "She continued with her extra-loud self-expression, until Abhishek took her to the lobby and made her sit down there, to calm her down.

For a while, things were quiet, until Ash suddenly decided to pipe up all over again.

She continued arguing at the top of her voice, until Abhishek, sensing that the situation was getting embarrassingly out of control, beckoned his personal security guards and asked them to escort his wife to her room."

The guards followed his bidding. And all was well with the Bachchan dignity again.

Unforgettables-It should be Unforgettable-Aish

The Bachchan family is busy rehearsing for a perfect world tour from July.

But, its ethereally beautiful daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan says even if things “go a bit (amiss) here and there” on stage, it only makes the stars real and human. “You do all that is required professionally to put up an entertaining evening for your fans and well-wishers. But, very honestly, my attitude is that I would like to keep it real,” says Aishwarya in an interview in Bangkok, where she is attending the 9th International Indian Film Academy awards event.

The Bachchan family is planning a world tour, titled The Unforgettable Tour, from July that will go on till next year. “It’s incredible, the connection with fans, because they never allow you to see them let you down or you letting them down. It is great when it is real and human,” she says and goes on to add, “That’s the difference between in-person interaction through our stage shows as opposed to that on celluloid and an audience sitting in a theatre and watching.”

The tour will have Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek, Ritiesh Deshmukh and Preity Zinta. While Akshay Kumar will join them for the inaugural evening in Toronto on July 18, Madhuri Dixit-Nene will perform in the US and Shilpa Shetty in Britain. “We are excited about the guest stars, as it makes it novel. In my experience it has never happened before. We are getting guest acts and it is going to be fun for the audiences too,” she says.

Two Mystro Families of Bollywood Come Together After a Long Lay-off

The Bachchans and the Kapoors - the two leading families of Bollywood - have maintained a distance ever since Karisma and Abhishek's engagement broke off several years ago. But to everyone's surprise, Randhir and Rajeev Kapoor walked the green carpet at the premiere of 'Sarkar Raj' here.

Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, the film starring Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai, had its world premiere Friday evening at the Ninth International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards, of which the Big B is the brand ambassador.

While Jaya Bachchan extended a warm welcome to Randhir, Kareena is set to perform at the IIFA awards night.

The Bachchans, however, were the cynosure of all eyes at the Paragon Cineplex, where the movie was screened as part of the three-day IIFA extravaganza that kicked off here Friday.
Other Indian stars at the premiere included Shabana Azmi, Javed Akhtar, David Dhawan, Zayed Khan, veteran actress Mumtaz and Neil Nitin Mukesh.

Shilpa Shetty Joins Bachchans for UNFORGETTABLES

If you are the best, you settle for nothing but the best. And in the United Kingdom, nothing is hotter and spicier than Shilpa Shetty. As she was taking off for Delhi for a promotional campaign of her yoga video, Shilpa sitting in her car revealed, “I just signed on the dotted line. I will be joining the Bachchans on their famous tour. But its for only those shows that will be organized in London. I am feeling great and actually thrilled to shake a leg with the father and son.”

The actress disclosed that there is a huge bonus for her fans in London. Tickets for the show can be availed from her official website, shilpashettylive.com with special discounts. Shilpa was all smiles when she said, “The website crashed within four hours of its launch after an Indian tabloid mentioned it. It feels great to be so loved.”

Shilpa is currently busy promoting her video on yoga which is being released by Shemaroo Entertainment. She says, “Its an easy guide to doing yoga. It has helped me immensely and since people like to emulate film stars, here is one way that they can do what I do and it will make them healthy. I released it in the UK, since it is novel for them. But since it was such a success, I am now ensuring that people in India buy this video and adopt a healthier way of life.”

About the famous size zero fetish in the industry, Shilpa has her own take. “Believe me, I eat everything. I love fish because it has Omega 3 oils and lean meat. No red meat for me. Since I did not like drinking water, I started drinking warm water. Now I drink warm water on the hottest of days and I have realized that it makes me want to drink more. It has helped my skin too.”

Eat well and exercise well, that seems to be the motto of Shilpa Shetty. I was wondering, should I just hop out and buy the video.. perhaps it might make a difference to my motto of only eating well.
