Lara Dutta Following Bipasha Footsteps

After having seen Bipasha’s dedication and passion, towards promoting healthy living and having an excersice regime through her special DVDS dedicated for the cause, there is good news for the public at large. It is now, actress Lara Dutta, who is planning to come out with her own set of DVDS, to promote healthy living.

Now, the point is, is it due to the fact that Lara has been very conscious of her own figure lately, and flaunts a very well toned body, as seen in her recent film, ‘Blue’ that she is keen on transferring the thought of exercising, amongst the general public? Or is it due to the effect of her current boyfriend Mahesh Bhupati, who is an Ace Tennis star of India? Or is it just for the sake of commercial interests? Well, whatever be the motive, one person who is not so pleased with this bright idea is our Bengali hot bod Bipasha Basu.

The grapevine is abuzz about the fact that Lara and her group of associates, are keeping their eyes, ears and brains open for any kind of information regarding Bipasha’s plans to launch her 2nd DVD, so as to be careful, in not to repeat the same things in Lara’s fitness program given on her DVD. But, this has not gone down well with Bips. It is reported that she has made it very clear that since a lot of hard work and passion had been put in by her to get the DVD out, she would wish that others who followed her footsteps would take care to do it with as much dedication, rather than just look into the commercial viability. Now, we wonder, what the sexy Lara would have to say to that one?

Aishwarya Rai at audio launch of Tamil film Rettaichuzhi

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai made a rare appearance at an audio launch here and took many by surprise when she broke into fluent Tamil.

It wasn’t just any audio launch but that of Tamil film “Rettaichuzhi” produced by Shankar, who is directing her opposite superstar Rajnikanth in “Endhiran: The Robot”.

Draped in a white sari, Aishwarya was at her courteous best at Sathyam Cinemas Monday evening as she got up to greet veteran directors K. Balachander and Bharathiraaja who play pivotal roles in the film.

Shankar said it was great to have Aishwarya as she hardly attended audio launches. He recalled that the former beauty queen wasn’t present for the launch of his “Jeans”, one of her first hit films.

“When we explained to her the significance of ‘Rettaichuzhi’ and the cast of the film, she immediately agreed. It’s not just her beauty but her commitment towards her profession, which has made her a great actress,” Shankar said.

The audio cassettes and CDs of “Rettaichuzhi” were released by Aishwarya and accepted by noted lyricist Vairamuthu, who once described her as a “Taj Mahal weighing 50 kilograms” in one of his lyrics for the film “Jeans”.

Aishwarya said she was proud to be part of the Tamil film fraternity and took many by surprise when she spoke in fluent Tamil and later switched backed to English.

“It’s an honour for me to have been present at this place among legends like Balachander and Bharathiraaja and I feel proud about it. I also feel happy that a woman is treated so respectfully at a public function like this,” she said.

“I can never forget the Tamil film industry and director Shankar in my life. Shankar’s ‘Jeans’ was my first successful film. The many things I learnt during the making of the film gave me enough self-confidence that I could continue to act for a few more years.

“I feel even more proud to be part of Shankar’s ‘Endhiran’ opposite superstar Rajnikanth…I watched a few songs and some sequences from ‘Rettaichuzhi’…I think Karthick Raaja’s music and tunes are excellent. I would surely watch the film in future,” Aishwarya added.
