I want to marry Baba Ramdev: confesses item girl Rakhi Sawant

2011-07-29T20:01:00.000-07:00

Even when you think anything that Rakhi Sawant does or says can't shock you, she drops another bomb.

Now she says she is keen to marry the yoga exponent, controversial figure, Baba Ramdev. She has recently confessed that she likes him.

Earlier Rahul Gandhi was her dream man but she has now changed her choice to Baba.

Quite a varied taste we must say. Is it any surprise that the girl decides to make this shocking statement, just before the launch of her new show?

The queen of all controversies has made yet another controversial statement. Rakhi Sawant in a recent interview has said that she was willing to marry when Baba Ramdev was ready to wed her.

List of statements made by the item cum drama queen:

* "Mein is desh ki beti hoon aur mujhe insaaf dilana aap sab ka farz hai." After being kissed by singer Mika.

* "I have done more item numbers than Shilpa, which were bigger hits. I also want to marry a guy like Raj (Kundra) who is rich and handsome." When asked about the man she would like to marry.

* "Only Kareena Kapoor and Mallika Sherawat don't have the right to kiss." When asked why she kissed Elesh (fiance) on a show when she didn't intend to marry him.

* "Dimpy bali ka bakra ban gayi hai. Very soon, you'll all get to hear that Rahul aur Dimpy ka separation ho gaya hai." Commenting on Dimpy and Rahul Mahajan's marriage.

* "On top of that I've to cook on the show. I can't cook to save my life. I don't know how I'll manage. I can't even use make-up. Can you imagine Rakhi Sawant without makeup?" Speaking about her show Pati Patni Aur Woh.

Akshay, Twinkle voted most stylish couple

2011-07-29T20:00:00.000-07:00

India’s hottest and most contemporary couple - Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, now have another feather in their overflowing hat of accolades, and that is of India’s most stylish couple.

Akshay’s wardrobe mostly consists of a cool and trendy vibe while wife, Twinkle, herself has an enviable collection of chic and sophisticated designer outfits herself.

Both complement each other extremely well, even though they both have an individualistic unique style of carrying themselves.

This award surely is very well deserved indeed, and most of the film industry as well as the common man would definitely agree on that.

Hina Rabbani Khar's photos in india
All of 34, Hina Rabbani Khar is Pakistan's first woman Foreign Minister and also the youngest at that. Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari justified her appointment, saying it would "send positive signals about the soft image of Pakistan".

Ms Khar touched down in India on Tuesday to take on the peace dialogue forward between the two arch-rivals; the world is waiting in anticipation as to how she handles her first major diplomatic outing and navigates the troubled waters of India-Pakistan relationship.
The decision to elevate Ms Khar was made in view of her competency and recent interaction at the Foreign Office, according to the the Prime Minister's office. She is seen here with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during her visit to India.
A postgraduate in hospitality and tourism from the University of Massachusetts, Ms Khar comes from a wealthy feudal family in southern Punjab and owns Lahore's posh Polo Lounge, a haunt of the rich and the powerful. Here she is seen greeting BJP patriarch L K Advani.
Ms Khar's father is a large landowner from Muzaffargarh. Her uncle Ghulam Mustafa Kar was the subject of "My Feudal Lord", a biting account of patriarchal society in Pakistan penned by his fifth wife Tehmina Durrani. Ms Khar is known to be fond of polo and trekking.Ms Khar has become Pakistan's 26th foreign minister at a time when her country is suffering perhaps the worst image crisis and is being repeatedly singled out as a patron for terrorists and jihadists.Ms Khar entered politics in 2002 and became a member of national assembly of the PML-Q party, affiliated with then Pakistan President Gen Pervez Musharraf.
Her political ascent has been meteoric ever since, propelled by favourable circumstances. Barely four days after then Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi was removed, she was named Minister of State for Foreign Affairs on July 20, 2011.
Ms Khar is married to businessman Feroze Gulzar, and they have three children – two sons and a daughter.
Ms Khar has a love of fashion and is noted for her personal style. She is particularly fond of the Birkin bag, beloved of fashionistas the world over, and carries it with her on most of her trips abroad.

Ameesha patel is sexier than ever in ‘Chatur Singh Two Star’

2011-07-25T04:56:00.001-07:00

Ameesha patel is sexier than ever in ‘Chatur Singh Two Star’
Poor Ameesha Patel. She seems to be going nowhere both personally – since she broke up with Kanav Puri – and professionally – only one film, called Power, in hand. But she does have something to look forward to: her next release, Chatur Singh Two Star. It’s a Sanjay Dutt film and, as you all know, that usually means the female lead won’t have much to do. And it seems from the promo that this film is no different either. But there is still a sliver of hope, ’cause Ms P is looking sexier than ever! Have you seen the promo? She looks really hot dancing away in that blue mini gown. Even better than she did cavorting skirtless in Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai. It’s been a long journey downhill since her debut film with duds like Yeh Hai Jalwa, Suno Sasurjee, Vaada and Tathastu. So it was no surprise when she announced earlier this year that she is turning producer. Or that she wants to act in her first production. (It’s not like she’s acting in anyone else’s production, after all.) Ameesha, Ameesha, forget acting. Just do what your first hero’s most recent co-star does: smile pretty and dress sexy. You’ll be a hit.

Indians may have much more than $2.5 billion in Swiss banks

2011-07-24T20:31:00.000-07:00

Geneva: It's official now - Indians hold about US $2.5 billion (over Rs. 11,000 crore) in Swiss banks, but this figure of Switzerland's Central bank may be a gross understatement of the total wealth directly and indirectly held there by entities from India.

The ever-growing judicial scrutiny and political outcry over alleged stashing of black money in Swiss banks also seems to be forcing Indian entities to move their monies to other safe havens like the Middle East, Singapore and Mauritius.

Some half a billion dollars have been moved out in the last three years, according to the Central bank's figures.

In the first-ever disclosure of money held in various Swiss banks by Indians, Swiss National Bank (SNB) has said the quantum of such deposits stood at 1.945 billion Swiss francs (about US $2.5 billion) at the end of 2010.

Giving a break-up of this amount, Walter Meier, the spokesperson for the SNB President, said this included about US $2.1 billion dollars in the form of savings and deposits by Indian individuals, financial institutions and corporates.

The remaining about US $400 million is of fiduciaries largely operating for private individuals from India.

Meier, however, said the bank had no further information when asked about the identity of these funds.

He further said that two of the largest Swiss banks, UBS and Credit Suisse, account for a vast majority of the deposits of entities from India.

Out of the 1.66 billion Swiss francs (US $2.1 billion) held by Indian individuals and institutions at the end of 2010, the two banks accounted for 1.02 Swiss francs (US $1.5 billion) and the remaining 636 Swiss francs (US $775 million) are held in Swiss cantonal banks and private banks, he added.

Experts say that the fiduciaries are essentially wealth fund managers who hold the money of Indian private holders and families in the so-called numbered accounts.

A private banker, on condition of anonymity, said that the actual deposits by Indians could be as high as US $15-20 billion, but also rubbished the figure of US $1.5 trillion that has been reported from time to time.

"I would argue that both the Swiss Central bank's estimate of US $2.5 billion as deposits of Indians, as well as the Indian media stories of US $1.5 trillion of Indian private deposits, are incorrect and somewhat outrageous," he said.

"From my involvement with banks, I would place the Indian deposits anywhere between US $15-20 billion," the banker said.

He also said there was a "perceptible flight of funds" of Indian holders from Swiss banks to banks in Singapore and Dubai, which are now the two main centres for Indian funds from undeclared sources.

As per SNB's figures also, the Indian deposits in Swiss banks have come down by US $500 million (about Rs. 2,250 crore) in the past three years.

SNB figures show that the total money deposited by Indians, both individuals and companies, in Switzerland-based banks stood at US $2.5 billion at the end of 2010, down from about US $2.7 billion in 2009 and US $3 billion in 2008.

While the bank did not reveal the reasons behind the flight of money from these accounts, officials at regulatory agencies in India fear that Indians might be moving their funds to safer locations like Mauritius, Dubai and other places in the Middle East region.

There have also been talks of Singapore being one such location where money is being moved from Swiss banks.

Sources have said that foreign capital-friendly regulations in places like Mauritius and Dubai were possibly being exploited by those seeking to move their funds away from Swiss banks, which have come under strict scrutiny of late.

Till the latest disclosure, SNB, as well as the Swiss Bankers Association, the apex body of banks in the European country, have been maintaining that they do not disclose country-specific data for funds deposited with them.

Such a level of secrecy around Swiss banks has resulted in various unconfirmed figures, of up to US $1.5 trillion, being speculated from time to time with regard to the money stashed away by Indians in those banks.

The issue of black money, including that stashed away in Swiss banks, has been a matter of intense political debate for many years in India, while the courts have also widened their scrutiny in recent months.

Recently, the Supreme Court also constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the matter and has gone on to criticise the government for not taking all required steps.

At the same time, the global pressure has been rising on Switzerland to ask its banks to share information about their clients with foreign governments.

India is also revising its bilateral treaty with the European nation to help it get more information about the Swiss bank accounts of Indians.

It is being suspected now that Indians having illicit wealth in Swiss banks may be moving their funds in fear of being exposed due to growing scrutiny. At the same time, even those having legitimate funds in Swiss banks may be moving away, due to a growing level of negativity attached to them.

Sources said that a number of Swiss financial institutions have set up arms in locations like Mauritius for their FII (foreign institutional investor), private equity and venture capital investment activities in India and these might be being used for routing of funds.

Top financial regulators Sebi and RBI have already stepped up their vigil over Indian entities routing their funds from secretly held Swiss bank accounts to India through Dubai and other locations.

Giving rise to the suspicion of funds moving to other locations, reports have suggested that banks in the Middle East are seeing a sudden spurt in their deposits.

It is feared that the money might be routed back to India, either into the stock market through FIIs or even via the FDI route.

The sectors suspected to be vulnerable to such funds could be real estate, agriculture and infrastructure, which are among the 'sunrise' segments of the Indian economy and have large-scale fund requirements.

Vidya and Emraan get super-intimate with a smooch fest

2011-07-24T19:56:00.000-07:00

The actors are getting ready to shoot super-intimate sequences for 'Dirty Picture'

What happens when the official 'serial kisser' of B-Town and an actress popular for her oomph factor ever since she entered the industry get together?

Yes, Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan, who star together in Milan Luthria's Dirty Picture, are gearing up to set the screen on fire.

According to sources, Vidya will soon enter the long list of heroines Emraan has lip-locked on screen. Apparently, they would not only have a couple of sizzling scenes in the movie, but also an exceedingly intimate and romantic number together.

Getting comfortable

However, since this is the first time the two actors have been cast opposite each other, their director, Milan, is trying to do all he can to eliminate any edginess.

It has been learnt that he is first shooting the 'easier' scenes so that they become friendly and comfortable and then film the high-voltage ones.

"Their chemistry needs to be very natural. So Milan decided to schedule the 'sexy' portions for later, " says our informer.

Apparently, Emraan, who plays a filmmaker in DP, gets attracted to Vidya, who's portraying a character based on southside sex siren, Silk Smitha.

"She has never played such a character before. So she's working hard to make sure that not the slightest awkwardness comes across on screen, " says a source associated with the film.

Since they started shooting, the two actors have cultivated a friendly rapport. It seems Emraan is often cracking jokes in-between shots and Vidya loves his quirky sense of humour.

"In the romantic song that will be shot at Ramoji Rao Film City in Hyderabad, they will be required to lock lips to bring out the love and intimacy their characters share, " reveals our source, adding that the other kiss features in a scene they will be shooting after the song.

Director Milan Luthria was unavailable for comment.

Vidya, the Serial Kisser?

The movies in which actress has locked lips:
- Ishqiya (2010)
- Salaam-e-Ishq (2007)
- Guru (2007)
