From rags to riches all the way to royalty – a Bollywood success story that could be yours!

To be a star in Bollywood, you need:

a) high profile parents whose money or reputations can open doors
b) political backing
c) to win a major international beauty pageant [no talent needed]


Not too many people today know or remember that merely a decade or so ago, none of the above three options were required in order to make it into the largest film industry in the world. Starry-eyed young women and earnest young men stepping off onto the platform of Victoria Terminus in Bombay and dreaming dreams of stardom…well, those days are long gone –or are they? Though too many people will tell you that the world is a much less innocent place than it used to be back then, there is still hope for budding celebrities out there.

Think ‘Bollywood success story’ and what comes into your mind? Abhishek Bacchan, Saif Ali Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan? That list is enough to dishearten any ordinary Joe, or Jaiveer, as the case may be. Each of these bright young actors is either very-well connected, has a family with roots in the film industry or is too beautiful to be a mere citizen. They’ve got celebrity stamped on them, but where’s the glory in being a celebrity by association?

Commonly called the King Khan of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan has been a major player in Bollywood for so long that people have forgotten his once humble status. Son of middle class parents in Delhi, Khan literally tumbled out of nowhere. In an age when film stars were treated like gods and a few families controlled a film industry that was (and still is) heavily influenced by the underworld, his unconventional image and steady climb to the top are proof that talent and perseverance are still valuable commodities in Bollywood.

From middle-class Muslim boy with no connections, no money but lots of talent to the so-called Tom Cruise of Indian cinema is certainly no mean achievement! Khan’s phenomenal success story just goes to show that being a star isn’t impossible – it’s just something that requires you to be smart, talented and willing to be different.

If you can sing, dance or act, this is the perfect platform for you – upload your video and perhaps yours will be the next success story that everyone’s talking about!

"Don't Worry Be Happy", New Bollywood Comedy

It looks like all the best comedians of Bollywood have come together for the upcoming Hindi flick, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”. With a star cast that includes Rajpal Yadav, Hemanth Pande, Murali Sharma, Shakti Kapoor, Asrani and Prem Chopra, this seems like a movie to really look forward to.

In spite of being outstanding actors and comedians, these artists have not been spared controversies and media glare. Here’s some juicy gossip for you to chew on.

Rajpal Yadav started out his career with a Ram gopal Verma film, and so, quite naturally, he is known for his eccentric comedy roles and violent villain roles. He was appreciated for the roles he played in some movies, like in ‘Waqt: The Race Against Time’ for example, while some were absolute disasters. If you have made the mistake of watching the movie ‘Ladies Tailor,’ you’ll know exactly what that means!



While Hemant Pande is not very popular, his skill cannot be denied. Let’s see what this ‘Krrish’ actor can do this time.

Good at playing roles of comedians and villains, Murali Sharma’s performance is something we look forward to. Quoting him, "I had read somewhere that the life you live is the choices you make. And I want to live a good life as an actor". Well, it’s for us to wait and see if he does or not! Good luck to him!

What does one say about Shakti Kapoor? He holds the world record for starring in the maximum number of movies; hold your breath, 422! And guess what, he won one award, for best comedian, for the movie Raja Babu. Shakti was swallowed into a huge, nation famous controversy in 2005, when he allegedly took sexual favours from a reporter, posing as an aspiring actress, and promised her fame in return. He claims it was all a planned scheme to trap and defame him; that he is innocent and that the videotape on which his actions were caught is all bogus. As always, it created a huge stir and then died down.



Prem Chopra and Ansari are legendary actors and continue to work with zest and fervor. They’ve both have excellent movies to their credit and their skills and talent has always been lauded.



The most interesting part of the whole thing is that you can star in this movie with all these great people. www.desitara.com is must visit. They are on the lookout for actors, singers and dancers to be associated with this movie. So if you have the talent, the zeal and the enthusiasm; and if you want to be a star, well, here’s your big chance! Enter the contest and give it your best, you could end up singing, dancing or acting in a big Bollywood film!

The Magic of Cricket Players and Bollywood Stars

Indians are crazy about two things – Bollywood and Cricket; and more recently, tennis, football, hockey as well. Sometimes it seems Bollywood and sport stars are the most powerful people in the country! They say it and we do it. And we like it that way! What cannot be ignored is the ever existing chemistry between the two. There seems to be an undeniable connection and attraction between the two sleep deprivers. Most of these relationships are plain heartbreakers; or are they publicity stunts?? Gossip mongers just love the connection between the sports and Bollywood, and these stars know it all too well! Hmm…

Take a look at some of these celebrity couples!

Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore:

The Nawab of Pataudi seems to have done an excellent job in wooing Bollywood beauty and head of the India Censor Board, Sharmila Tagore. This is one of the very few sports-bollywood combinations that have actually lasted. True love is what keeps this duo going!

Mohammad Azharuddin and Sangeeta Bijlani:

Azharuddin may have been dropped from the Indian Cricket team for match fixing scandals, and divorced his wife, but that only made him more famous! Sangeeta Bijlani was crowned Miss India in 1980 and was not a great hit at Bollywood, which is THE destination for all Miss India(s)! The two glam stars got married and now run their own business together.

Mahima Chawdhary and Leander Paes:

Model – Actres Mahima Chawdhary dated tennis star Leander Peas and they hit the gossip headlines. She was spotted at matches that he played and they were sensational! With a load of speculations as to the cause of their break up, Mahima is now married to a high profile Mumbai based architect and Paes is, well, playing for the country.

Nagma and Sourav Ganguly:

Ex Captain of Team India has had his share of controversies. Before being dropped by the Indian Coach and creating a revolution of support across the country, Sourav “dada” had an alleged affair with actress Nagma. His relationship with his wife Dona turned sour and Sourav kept mum about the whole thing, hoping, probably, that he could keep himself out of the media glare, save his reputation and his marriage. Well, the marriage was saved, but Nagma confessed it all and Sourav was left mum, just as he liked it.

Ravi Sahstri and Amrita Singh:

The ex Indian cricketer, and Bollywood actress Amrita Singh had an affair. The all round player, known for his excellent sportsmanship and dashing looks, stays busy with his successful commentating career now. Amrita Singh went on to marry, much younger Saif Ali Khan and Ravi and she “amicably” split ways. Of course, Saif and Amrita split ways too and Saif is now with much younger Kareena! So much for true love!

Kapil Dev and Sarika:

The great Kapil Dev, who led India to win its only cricket World Cup in 1983, had a country famous affair with actress Sarika, who later went on to marry Tamil actor Kamal Hasan. And then of course, Sarika and Kamal got divorce too. No surprise, is there?

Imran Khan and Zeenat Aman:

Imran Khan, the drop dead handsome cricketer from Pakistan stole a heart too many. He brought glamour to the game of the bat and the ball. Imran had a major fling with Bollywood Goddess Zeenat Aman and they were a smashing sensation. He went on to marry Jemima Goldsmith and later split with her as well.

Reena Roy and Mohsin Khan:

Super Bollywood actress Reena Roy married Pakistan Cricket star, Mohsin Khan, when her career was at its zenith. They had a daughter but sadly, the marriage ended very quickly, throwing Reena out of her gained position in Bollywood. It took her a long while to bounce back, but oh well, all part of being a celebrity.

Vivian Richards and Neena Gupta:

Neena Gupta was a not – so – well known Bollywood actress. She shot to fame overnight when the world discovered that she had given birth to Viv Richard’s daughter!
