Pregnant Kajol Miffed With Busy Ajay Devgan

It is said that Kajol, who is expecting her second child is fuming these days and the reason is that hubby Ajay Devgan is having a tight schedule as he is busy shooting for Rohan Sippy’s Golmaal and is promoting Once Upon A Time In Mumbai.

This all is making Ajay unable to devote his time to his family, especially when it comes to catch her beloved Kajol’s brilliant performance in her films. It is said that his hectic schedule still has not allowed him to catch wifey’s My Name Is Khan and when we asked him if this was true, the actor has no answer. The deadly Devgan grinned, “I promised her I would catch it and I will. Just as soon as I am done with all my release work for Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. But I am proud of one thing. I have caught the promos of We Are Family and I think she’s looking great in it as always. In fact, I plan to catch that and MNIK too”.

But actually the lad’s been working so hard its not even funny. Ajay Devgan who not long ago finished Raajneeti was back to work for Milan Luthria’s Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai.

Kajol needs a son!

Come September, when Kajol is due, you wonder if she secretly wishes for a son or a daughter.

That she is as excited to have a daughter, as she is to have a son, is a pleasant surprise. Kajol says, “I’m just hoping for a healthy happy baby and a healthy happy momma to look after the baby. I’ve a wonderful daughter. How can I say no to another girl just like her? I don’t believe I need a son to complete my family. My sister Tanissha and I made a complete family.”

Kajol strongly believes that women should have babies when they are ready to take care of them. Kajol admits she took time to have a second baby only so she could give herself fully to mothering him/her.

Meanwhile, this time off from films may be a dampener for Kajol’s fans. “I enjoy doing just one or two films a year,” she says, “If I do too many films people would get bored of me.”

Though her fans would disagree with that, they should not lose hope because Kajol is willing to do another film with hubby Ajay when the opportunity comes her way. But she clarifies that Ajay and she would not do a conventional film for sure. “We can’t be running around in a sarson ka khet together. I had my fill in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.” The owner of Maratha Mandir begs to differ, Kajol.

Talking of new beginnings, this was the first time Kajol worked with Kareena Kapoor. Glad to be working with an actress her age, Kajol was all praise for Bebo’s sense of humour. “Kareena is an absolute delight to work with and she has a sense of humour. If you’re working for 150 days with someone humourless it can get really tedious.”

And if you have a problem with that, well then it’s for you to solve. Says Kajol, “I’ve worked with dreadfully dull actors but I don’t get affected by my environment.”

The actress is choosy. But you wonder why she seldom says no to friends like Karan Johar. Disagreeing, Kajol clarifies, “I’ve said no to Karan for Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. I don’t think I can give my best in an environment where I am not comfortable. Yes, there have been films where I’ve felt, ‘Oh my God what am I doing here?’ But I don’t regret them.” Optimism and happy thoughts... just what a to-be mother needs.

'My Name Is Khan' continues to shine at box office

In the absence of no big releases last Friday, My Name Is Khan continues to shine at the box office.

The movie’s Monday collection was of Rs 1.75 crore which takes its 11 day total to Rs 58.75 crore approx. The second week collection of ‘My Name Is Khan’ is likely to finish in the Rs 16-17 crore mark, taking its two-week total to Rs 62-63 crore.

Now, it’s expected that the lifetime business of MNIK should cross the Rs 70-75 crore mark in India. The movie is already a superhit in Bengal and Mysore region. But to become a nationwide superhit it has to get close to Rs 40 crore distributor share mark, which seems quite attainable if the movie continues a good run over this week.

However, last Friday’s releases Toh Baat Pakki and Click couldn’t warm up the box office. If ‘Click’ opened to a dull response of 10-15% occupancy, Tabu starrer ‘Toh Baat Pakki’ was a bit better with 15-20%.

This Friday there are two thrillers for you, the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Teen Patti and Deepika-Farhan’s Karthik Calling Karthik.

Shah Rukh Khan:I keep getting better looking

Berlin: Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, who left a trail of fans swooning at the red carpet premiere of My Name is Khan at the Berlin International Film Festival, says self-mockingly he keeps getting better looking and he would soon "look like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise".

Mimicking his character Rizwan Khan in the film, he said "There's something in my genes. I keep getting better looking - and I just can't control it. Soon I'm going to look like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. But beyond that I've no problems."

German fans from Berlin, Hannover, Hamburg and Munich thronged the streets even as it snowed for a glimpse of actors Shah Rukh, Kajol and filmmaker Karan Johar at the Friday night premiere, where the film received a thunderous ovation.

"I have never understood the love of my German fans or why Germans love Bollywood so much, but I am very thankful for it. Germany has genuinely opened a window for Indians to Western cinema. I am here to serve the audience, I am servile. My job is to make people smile," Shah Rukh said at the premiere.

Among his fans in the snow was Elke Kolloge, 50, mother of three who had come from Hannover to Berlin just for a glimpse of her favourite star.

"I just love Shah Rukh, his personality, his honesty. My husband doesn't like this at all! Luckily my daughter Lisa is his fan too. I have seen all SRK films, including Paheli, Swades, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Om Shanti Om. I really hope Shah Rukh gets the Oscar next year!"
