Nayantara converts to Hinduism for marrying Prabhu Deva

It seems the bond between Nayanthara and Prabhu Deva is strengthening further with the decision of Nayanthara to convert to Hinduism! Nayanthara’s original name is Diana Mariam Kurian and she is a Syrian Christian by birth. Come on. Let us see the background behind her decision.

We have already written in this site that Nayanthara and Prabhu Deva have been living together in single house without marrying legally. Initially they kept their affair secretly despite media gossips. Nowadays they are attending public functions together like husband and wife. They first appeared together at the South Scope Calendar launch function. Then they danced together at the felicitation function of TN Chief Minister in Feb 2010. Recently they attended director Siddhique’s daughter marriage.

A couple of days ago, there was news that Kollywood bigwigs negotiated with Prabhu Deva on request of his legal wife Ramlath. But Prabhu Deva replied that he cannot leave Nayanthara as they both have become so intimate to each other. If he leaves her, she would commit suicide. On hearing these words of Prabhu Deva, Nayanthara decided to convert to Hinduism and marry Prabhu Deva to put an end to their illegal affair. But Prabhu Deva has been trying through his parents and family members for compromise settlement with Ramlath. He has decided to marry Nayan only after the amicable settlement of Ramlath issue.

Nayanthara currently has only 3 films in her kitty viz. Boss Engira Bhaskaran(Tamil), Electra(Malayalam) & Super(Kannada). She lost her charming face after the ‘liposuction’ cosmetic surgery she underwent for removing fat. The ayurvedic massage treatment she took for rejuvenating her body did not help her. Producers and directors are hesitating to book her as she lost her charm among audience. So, Nayanthara might have thought it is the right time to settle in life before her partner loses interest in her. But Prabhu Deva is aware that he would be sent to prison if Ramlath goes to court. That’s why he is deferring the marriage plan till Ramlath issue is settled. “Love ceases to be a pleasure, when it ceases to be a secret.”

Hansika Motwani pairs Vijay in Velayutham

The news ‘Hansika Motwani is booked for Ilaya Thalapathi Vijay’s 52nd film, Velayutham’ has generated several questions among Kollywood actresses and audience. While actresses of her age are yearning for opportunities, how this bubbly girl, who has enrolled in the 12th Grade doing A levels at Podar International School, has been grabbing more offers in Tamil before the release of her debut movie? That too, opposite leading heroes like Dhanush, Jayam Ravi and Vijay! What attracts young heroes towards her?

After her successful stints in Hindi, Telugu and Kannada, this Sweet 18 bubbly girl landed in Kollywood for ‘Mappillai’ pairing Dhanush. Even before the release of her debut Tamil movie, she got an offer to act in one more Tamil film ‘Ich’ opposite Jayam Ravi and directed by Prabhu Deva. While Kollywood actresses were wondering about her second project in Tamil, the news Hansika pairing with Vijay for Velayutham came as a big surprise to them.

You may remember Hansika got the opportunity to act in ‘Ich’ trailing Shruti Haasan behind her. For Velayutham too, it was earlier told that she replaced Genelia D'Souza. But the latest news says both Hansika and Genelia are acting as female leads opposite Vijay. After booking her for ‘Ich’, Prabhu Deva revealed that Hansika has got the combo of good looks and talent and she could radiate innocent charm. What attracts young heroes towards her? Is it her tender age, her fresh cute face, her well-endowed assets or her bubbly performance?

Whatever be the reason, I would definitely say she is very fortunate because she has got the chance to pair with leading heroes at the beginning of her career itself in Tamil. Most importantly, she has got the chance to act under commercial directors like Suraaj and Prabhu Deva and successful director Jayam Raja who has brought out best performances from Genelia and Asin. So Hansika, be thankful to God for showering such good opportunities, be sincere to your work and don’t forget this anonymous saying “You are not as big as you believe in yourself. You are as big as the number of people who believe in you.”

Bhavana – From Girl-next-door to Glamour!

We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. We must dare to think about 'unthinkable things'. This is what exactly Bhavana is doing now. News says she has decided to shed her next-door-girl image and portray glamour roles in Tamil to revive her sagging career.

Normally Mallu girls are known for their elegance, well-endowed frontal beauty and performance. Bhavana possesses those attributes plentifully. ‘Asal’ is her 10th movie in Tamil. Though she has done only 10 films in Tamil, she earned good name and fame among Kollywood audience as she portrayed girl-next-door and homely roles. From her debut movie ‘Chithiram Pesuthadi’, she has been fortunate enough to get meaty roles in successive films viz. Veyil, Deepavali, Arya, Jayamkondaan, etc.

After carving a niche for her in Malayalam and Tamil films, Bhavana moved to Tollywood, following the success of ‘Ontari’. Though she does only girl-next-door type roles in Tamil and Malayalam, she appears in Telugu films attired in provocative costumes.

Bhavana thought that she would be flooded with Tamil movie offers after ‘Asal’. But it did not happen and she has no Tamil movie in hand at present as Kollywood producers are more interested in Mumbai heroines who are willing to do extreme glamour roles. At present, Bhavana has only one Kannada movie, Jackie, in her kitty. So, she has decided to test her glamour skill in Kollywood to grab offers. Already a new album with her glamourous stills is roaming in the Kollywood. She has also decided to relax her previous condition of pairing with only leading heroes and she is now eyeing on second line hot heroes. While she chooses glamour as her ultimate weapon to grab offers and strengthen her position in Kollywood, she has also decided to do ad films like Sneha.

I think lot of leading heroes would come forward to support Bhavana as she has decided to disrobe and Kollywood audience could see this graceful actress in alluring costumes soon on silver screen!

Anushka and Silambarasan relationship - How far it is true?

It is all started from the news ‘Simbu is wedding Anushka’ published in a website on 1st April this year with a specific note that it is not an April fool matter. As usual, other sites, blogs and print media started spreading that news titling hot news and breaking news. Let’s first see the news in detail and then analyze how far it would be true!

News says Simbu proposed to Anushka, when he took her on a long drive in his X6 BMW car in Chennai, presenting her a solitaire ring from Tiffany’s. He also presented some expensive gifts to Anushka, including a De Beers diamond necklace and a Mont Blanc pen. Anushka visited Simbu’s parents and sought their blessings a week before the news was published and Simbu took Anushka to an Amman temple in Kalakshetra colony in Besant Nagar to show his commitment towards marriage. The couple has been hunting house in posh localities like Boat Club and Poes Garden to set up their home in Chennai after marriage and planning to initiate their own production house after marriage. Their honeymoon destination is Rome or Florence in Italy. Simbu admires Anushka for her professionalism and the grace with which she handles her personal life. Anushka said she had to say yes for Simbu’s love as he is a well brought up person with nice values.

Normally men listen to their brain and women listen to their heart. That’s why men think sensibly & logically and women think emotionally & sentimentally. But Anushka does not fall in that normal women category. Though she was born in Mangalore, she did her schooling and college in Bangalore. You know Bangalore girls are down-to-earth personalities i.e. practical and realistic and no-nonsense. Moreover, Anushka is a trained Yoga Instructor. So, she would definitely know Simbu is a Romeo and his earlier romantic affairs with Aishwarya, Nayanthara, etc. She would not commit such blunder in life that too when her career is at peak. Then, why such rumours arise? After ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvayaa’, Simbu’s forthcoming films Podaa Podi, an untitled Lingusamy project, Valiban, Vada Chennai will take more than 6 months to 1 year to hit the screens. Till such time, to remain in the minds of audience and fans, he might have purposefully spread this rumour through his PRO because he too knows “Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.”

Kushboo joins DMK

Kollywood’s yesteryear heartthrob Kushboo joined DMK in front of Karunanidhi last Friday, belying expectations that she would join the Congress after the recent Supreme Court verdict catapulted her to nationwide fame. Her joining DMK is a gesture of gratitude or in anticipation of MLC Seat? Scroll down to catch details!

Kushboo debuted in Tamil through ‘Varusham 16’. She started reigning Kollywood from ‘Chinnathambi’ and she paired almost all the top heroes of South India. Her failure started from K.Balachandar’s ‘Jathi Malli’ and Bharathiraja’s ‘Captain Magal’. Then, she started anchoring reality shows and game shows in TV, appeared as Judge in TV Dance Shows and has been producing and acting in TV Mega Serials. Kushboo was a Mumbai born Muslim but she converted to Hinduism after marrying actor, director Sundar.C.

‘Vanthaarai Vazhavaikkum Thamizhagam’ is a famous Tamil saying you all know. Kushboo has seen the best and worst of Tamils in her 20 years of stay in Tamilnadu. At the peak of her career, her ardent fans constructed a Temple for her. In 2005, Dalit Panthers of India protested against Kushboo carrying brooms and slippers for her controversial remarks on premarital sex. (Kushboo said it was fine for girls to indulge in pre-marital sex after taking precautions to keep unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. She justified her statement by saying no educated man could expect his partner to be a virgin.)

After admitting Kushboo in his party, DMK leader Karunanidhi praised her for her ‘progressive views’ and her ‘deep conviction’ in the Dravida Movement ideals. In reply to a question Karunanidhi admitted that Kushboo winning the case in the Supreme Court was one of the reasons for her entry into the DMK fold (Rumors say a Supreme Court Judge, who handled Kushboo’s case, is a close friend of Kalaignar and he freed Kushboo from the case on the advice of Kalaignar).

Kushboo said she is not eyeing MLC Seat or biennial Rajya Sabha Seat and she joined DMK as her ideals are exactly the same as of the DMK. She will be on a twin-track of acting and working for DMK for Women’s empowerment and people’s welfare.

People know there is nothing good going to happen because of Kushboo’s entry in Politics. They are only curious to know the real reason behind this drama. Politics is like an ocean. Kushboo is like a bubble in that ocean. Will she vanish in the waves of the ocean or emerge as a real leader, future only could reveal it.

Why Renigunta Sanusha is not accepting fresh offers in Tamil?

She was only 13 when she debuted in ‘Naalai Namathey’ directed by ‘Kasi’ fame Vinayan. But her deaf and dumb character in ‘Renigunta’ brought her under limelight. Yes. I am talking about the teenage star, cute looking and bubbly Sanusha!

Sanusha acted as a child star in ‘Kazhcha’ with Mammootty, in ‘Mambazhakalam’ with Shobhana, and in ‘Kirtichakra’ with Mohanlal, to name a few. In television, she appeared in the Malayalam serials Orma, Swapnam and Amma Manassu. She did a young heroine role in Unniarcha and she has also acted with Suresh Gopi in Malayalam. Sanusha bagged State Award for the Best Child Artist for her role in ‘Kazhcha’ and several awards for her acting in television serials. She nurtures ambitions of becoming a doctor as well as a good actress – an odd combination, no doubt.

When Sanusha was studying Class 8th at Sreepuram English Medium School in Kannur, ‘Kasi’ fame director Vinayan made her a heroine in his flick ‘Naalai Namathey’ but that film was a flop as it starred all new faces. Through her deaf and dumb character in ‘Renigunta’, Sanusha proved that she can portray her roles with intelligence and maturity. Recently she has finished shooting of her one more Tamil film viz. Nandhi. Why this ‘Nymphet’ is short of opportunities in Tamil? An interesting fact has been disclosed by a leading Tamil evening daily recently. Scroll down to catch it!

After ‘Renigunta’, Sanusha has been flooded with offers in Tamil. But she refused as these offers came along with a condition that she should participate in the ‘Story Discussion Session’ (to give ‘company’ to the hero, director and producer). Because of her denial to participate in the story discussion session, offers went away from her. Though Sanusha has the maturity to portray her roles brilliantly, she is still a kid considering her age. She would know how to get along with these situations as she grows older.

Rasna Babe Ankitha becomes KamaSutra girl!

Ankitha who won the hearts of millions of people across India in her childhood with her “I Love You Rasna” is now going to promote the famous condom brand ‘Kamasutra’ to revive her sagging career.

Ankitha acted in two Tamil films only viz. London & Thiruranga. She acted in more than a dozen films in Telugu in sexy roles. But she could not withstand against leading heroines viz. Anushka, Ileyana, Trisha, Namitha, etc. Day by day, opportunities ceased to come both in Tamil and Telugu. She tried for chance in Tamil by approaching heroes and producers through PR. She hosted party in Tollywood to attract opportunities but nothing turned out successfully.

News says a close friend of Ankitha who works for the ad agency that does the KamaSutra ads gave this idea and offer to Ankitha. It seems Ankitha has done steamy scenes for the promo by flaunting her voluptuous assets which she anticipates that it will surely sizzle the youths and attract filmmakers towards her. After this promo, she has been conveying to the film industry through her PR that she is ready for doing sexy item numbers and also itsy-bitsy character roles.

I think it is the fate of actresses who lure audience in their childhood fail to please the same audience in their adulthood viz. Kutty Padmini, Baby Anju, Sujitha, etc. There are few exceptions like Sri Devi, Meena, Shalini, etc. Ankitha falls in the first category. Though she has well-endowed assets and is ready to flaunt the same, her face looks matured which restrains heroes from pairing her. Let us wish Ankitha that the film industry reckons her again after this KS promo and she gets chances once again as desired by her in southern cine circuit. Best of luck Ankitha!

Sindhu Menon hot secret marriage!

‘Eeram’ fame Sindhu Menon secretly married a London-based software engineer Prabhu last Sunday. Like you, I am also shocked by the news as we enthusiastically discussed about her two Hollywood projects only a few days ago. Scroll down to know what happened exactly.

Unlike many other actresses who just blame filmmakers for depicting them in an ordinary way of shaking legs with heroes and disappearing, Sindhu Menon keeps herself away from signing those projects if her role and script does not seem to be appealing. Though she acted in 3 Tamil films earlier viz. Samuthiram, Kadal Pookkal and Youth, she shot to limelight only after Eeram. This Mallu girl who has been residing in Bangalore is at present acting in 2 Kannada, 2 Telugu and 2 Tamil films apart from the 2 Hollywood movies.

News says Sindhu Menon has been in love with Prabhu, a London-based software engineer, for the past few years. It seems both families endorsed their love and Sindhu Menon married Prabhu last Sunday in Bangalore in the presence of her close relatives. The Marriage Reception was held on Monday in a Club at M.G.Road in Bangalore. However, this news was not confirmed or denied by the actress or sources close to her.

I know there are lots of questions arousing in your mind. Why such a good actress is marrying while she has 8 films in hand and fortune is now in her favour? And that too at the age of just 24 years! Because married actresses could not expect heroine chances even if they are young and look appealing. In this fast-moving modern World, you have to pay a price for everything. If you want career and money, you have to give up family. If you want family, you have to give up career. I think Sindhu Menon’s decision to settle in life at this young age, putting aside her film career, is smart enough as she knows this proverb “Even where there is no cock, day dawns.”
