Dancing Queen: Aishwarya Rai- Features-Features & Events-Indiatimes - Movies

Dancing Queen: Aishwarya Rai- Features-Features & Events-Indiatimes - Movies: One factor that distinguishes conventional Bollywood cinema from its counterparts is the ‘naachgaana’ factor. Dance and music will continue to be an integral part of story telling in the Indian film industry. And it is only those who have mastered the art of expressing through dances full of ‘navrasas’ have managed to emerge as ‘stars’. This is especially true with the leading ladies since dance is a form more often than not associated with femininity. And Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one such woman in Bollywood who will be known for the grace she exhibits through her dances.

Though not a classically trained dancer, Aishwarya has not only performed some fabulous dances, but also shown variation as a dancer and an actress. To prove our claim, we cite five of her best dance performances in Bollywood."

SRK’s poem recital.- News-News & Gossip-Indiatimes - Movies: "This is a first for SRK, who will now be seen as a poet in the film Shaurya. To find out more about it we caught up with director, Samar Khan and he tells us, “SRK was in my first film as well and he is such a great guy as well as a very professional actor...its just a joy working with him.” Besides this he also adds, “SRK as been a constant help to me in my career, its like he’s always there when I need him the most.”

“My second film didn’t have Shah Rukh in any role and after the film was done I felt like there was something missing...its like as though that special something is absent. Hence for this film I knew that I just wanted him to be in it. Then came the poem part and I approached him to ask whether he would recite it.”

“SRK, for one thing I can tell you, is someone who at time you just can’t do without, while he can never say no to anyone. This being the basic reason I wanted him, besides when he heard the lines of the poem he was so taken up with it that he just agreed to do it on the spot. So we went ahead and did the recording. This particular piece will be at the end of the film and is also being used in the promos and teasers of the same.”

From what we have heard and understand from Samar we can say that the King Khan has definitely made him self one of the brightest stars in Bollywood today"
