REVEALED: Why Dev Anand`s Son Is So Livid

Home > Bollywood > Titbits

Tuesday, December 04, 2012

By Subhash K JhaMonday 3 December was the much-missed Dev Anand’s first death anniversary. To honour him UTV Stars decided to unveil a sculpture of the iconic star as a part of its Walk Of The celebrities series.

The unveiling ceremony was to be done by Dev Saab’s son Suniel and one in every of his favourite heroines Waheeda Rehman on the Marriot hotel on Tuesday morning.

Weirdly, the ceremony was scheduled for 4 December, an afternoon after Dev Saab’s death anniversary.

Didn’t make sense. When one tried to inquire with UTV Stars, one got no answer. But a source that desired to be remain unnamed said, `They couldn’t get the venue, the Marriott on 3 December. In order that they decided to shift it by an afternoon. `

The explanation didn’t cut much ice with Dev Saab’s son Suniel Anand who seemed pretty upset with the way in which his father’s memory was being served.

Says Suniel, `I was getting calls and messages from admirers and friends of my dad the entire day on Monday. It would’ve made sense to have his sculpture unveiled at the day he gave up the ghost. Why an afternoon after? I’m clueless. `

Suniel says he attempted to seek out out, but was stonewalled by UTV Stars. `I should’ve been kept within the loop, and that i tried very hard. But I USED TO BE not told anything. There is a gentleman named Shiv Menon at UTV Stars whom I USED TO BE presupposed to co-ordinate with.

When I asked him why the memorial sculpture was being unveiled an afternoon late he told me it was a part of their business plan. I’m sorry I DO NOT get. How can my father’s death anniversary fall consistent with a marketing strategy?`

Shiv Menon of UTV Stars said, `The only reason we decided to honour Dev Saab an afternoon late is because we would have liked to offer his family space and private time to bear in mind the nice man on his death anniversary. Also, we would have liked to ask a few of his colleagues and shut associates. `

It`s fun taking risks in career: Kareeena Kapoor

From her debut with the 2000 film ‘Refugee’ to her latest release ‘Talaash’, Kareena Kapoor has come far in her decade-long careerThe actress says she picks other kinds of roles as she prefers taking risks on the subject of choosing films. Be it a ‘masala’ film like ’Bodyguard’ or a women-centric movie like ‘Heroine’, Kareena has all of it in her kitty.

The 32-year-old Bollywood A-lister says it’s her duty as an actress to dole out plenty of films for her fans. “IT’S THE duty of an actor to try and pick up different roles, be a bit brave in regards to the whole thing.

Sometimes films will work and often they will not. It’s fun taking risks. I SIMPLY CANNOT just keep looking pretty and doing a song-and-dance film,” Kareena told in an interview. The actress said people had asked her to not play Riana Briganza in Shakun Batra’s ‘Ekk Main Aur Ekk Tu’ earlier this year, because the film was slightly unconventional.

“When I USED TO BE doing ‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’, everyone said it’s slightly non-commercial, because the boy doesn’t get the lady after all. I only did the film because people were saying that. I told Shakun that in case you change the tip of this movie, I AM NOT doing it.That was me. I NEEDED to do Riana Briganza and wanted my year to finish with something totally bizarre like ‘Talaash’. I’m pleased with both,” said Kareena. This year have been quite colourful for Kareena.

While in Aamir Khan starrer ‘Talaash’ she played the spirit of a prostitute, Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Heroine’ had her star as a Bollywood actress. Kareena also turned out as an ISI agent in ‘Agent Vinod’ and can be next seen in a item number in ‘Dabangg 2’.

“I always attempt to balance the mass-oriented films with the opposite kinds. My fans like to see me in commercial stuff as well, for that there’s the item song ‘Fevicol se’ that I’VE done for ‘Dabangg 2’.

“It’s nice to do a job like Rosie in Talaash, who’s so sensitive, and then something like this song. People should see that i’m looking to do various things and never just confidently doing my very own thing or repeating the same,” she said.
