The promo couldn’t come at a better time for Sonam fans who have missed seeing her on the screen since November of 2007 when her first movie Saawariya was released. Fans often wondered why it took her so long to sign a movie after Saawariya. “I wasn’t getting the kind of offers I’d like. The scripts were more woman-oriented, and I didn’t want to give in to anything for the sake of just doing something. I’ve taken my time and was happy when Rakeysh Mehra offered me to be a part of Delhi 6,” Sonam said as she recently answered the media at the Dubai Film Festival. Well, here’s hoping this movie does for Sonam what Saawariya didn’t.

The music, composed by A R Rahman, is said to be releasing on the 14th of January. The movie is directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and releases on February 20th, 2009. The movie also stars Rishi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Waheeda Rehman, and Atul Kulkarni among others in significant roles.

These days, Indian actresses do their makeup and dress as well as the actresses from Hollywood. Taking Preity Zinta for example. With her Fendi belts and D&G glasses, she dresses no less than Nicole Kidman or Katie Holmes. But alas, someone has to mess it up. That’s where another new actress from the Bhatt camp makes her entry. Geeta Barsa. Super shiny face, thick lip liner, too much foundation (which is causing the face and neck to be two different colors) and slutty eye shadow are just some of the stuff. Are we sure she is an actress and not a porn star? She really needs a new face wash to get rid of all that oil on her face and oh yeah, maybe go easy on the foundation. Or better yet, she should ask one the Bhatts to get her another makeup artist.

We wonder if the Bombay Circus has any vacancies for our Bollywood Clown!

Or maybe you’d like to hire her? Have your say!

Shahrukh took a step further when he signed on for Don, a remake of the orignial 1978’s Don that started Amitabh. But now it seems that Shahrukh would definitely like to be another Dr Bachchan as he signs to host Kaun Banega Crorepati 3 (KBC, India’s version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire). Dr Bachchan had been the former host of the show for 2 seasons and was even offered to renew his contract but he decided to decline because of his health issues. And so, when the offer went to Khan, he jumped at the opportunity that might help him to be more successful like Dr Bachchan. Time and time again, he tried hard to be like the great Amitabh Bachchan and came close but was never in the same league. Will he be able to take Amitabh’s place in KBC? Is he really the next Amitabh? I guess we have to wait and see.

Catch him in KBC 3 in January 2007, on Star Plus!

I just broke up with my boyfriend I can’t get over him
Here’s what I did when I broke up with my boyfriend. One day, he was walking down the street and I made my car drive over him.

My sister annoys me to hell, please give me some advice to ignore or kill her!
Kill her. The easiest way, which always works for me, and I wont get in trouble with my parents (or the law) when I want to kill someone is to lock them in a room and make them watch a movie with Govinda in hot shorts for a few hours and after you open the door to the room, they go and commit suicide themselves cause they cant live with such an image in their head for the rest of their lives.

What’s the best way to kill your ex without leaving evidence?
Send them a present with Govinda movies. It works for everyone.

Is it safe to show up with a chainsaw at your ex’s doorstep?
And why not? I always do it. They will fear you for the rest of their lives and you might get to jail for “attempted murder” but other then that, its perfectly safe.

I like this girl but she has a boyfriend. Should I still tell her how I feel?
Well darling, there is a reason, her boyfriend is someone else and not you? Have you checked yourself in the mirror?

My head keeps hurting a lot, do I have a tumour?
Yes you do. You should start making your will now. If you have a house in London, it goes to me for helping you out.

I like my best friend’s boyfriend, what should I do?
Kill your best friend and then make yourself hotter (see question 1).

Divya was born Divya Om Prakash Bharti on February 25th, 1974 to Meeta and Om Parkash Bharti in Mumbai. According to tabloids reports, Divya had a traumatic childhood. Om Parkash left his parents house, his wife, and children to marry Meeta, Divya’s mother. But Om Parkash’s first wife didnt leave Divya and her family alone. She would curse and rave them and maybe that is the reason, Divya’s parents were constantly fighting and were so busy with themselves that they had no time for Divya. Her father was an alcoholic while her mother used to be too busy with her kitty parties. Divya felt unloved and unwanted and maybe because of that matured beyond her age. When she was 10, she decided to become economically independent and walk out of her parents’ house. She hated school and her only other alternative was films. Her father, unsuccessful stage artist himself, pushed Divya to fulfill his dream and make her out to be the golden goose. In a March 92 issue of Stardust, Divya firmly denied the allegations and said with “teary eyes” that she is not ashamed of anything in her life especially her past but she wish she could avoid talking about it because “it is too personal and private”.

Divya first got her chance when in 9th grade, director Kriti Kumar met her around 1988 in a Mumbai Video Library and approached her to play the lead role opposite Govinda in “Radha Ka Sangam” but was later dropped. But later on, the famed Telugu film director, Mr. D. Rama Naidu, approached for his movie “Bobbili Raja” which went to become a super hit and broke all previous records in the Telugu film industry. People started to compare her with the biggest star of the time, Sridevi. Soon after more hits followed with Assembly Rowdy, Dharma Kshetrain, Rowdy Alludu which all went to become hits in the Telugu and Tamil film industries. The popularity of Divya in the South made Bollywood finally notice her and Rajiv Rai signed her for Vishwatma. Even though the movie was a flop, nobody can forget the song “Saat Samandar”. Her talents were noticed by everyone and soon after Dewaana with newcomer Shahrukh Khah, and Shola Aur Shabnam with Govinda followed and went on to become super hits and has signed 14 other movies. By then Divya also became a tabloid’s darling and was not only famous for her talents but also for her mood swings and childish behavior well forgetting that she was only 18. Her outspoken personality gotten taloids with reports about how she had problems with from Aamir Khan, Hema Malini, J.P Dutta, to Farah Khan. How she misbehaved on the sets and was never on time and how she had drinking problems also graced the tabloids pages. In one of her last interviews she explained her drinking problem by saying she only drinks on some occasion and has no problem whatsoever with it.

Not only was her professional life was on a rise, but so was her personal life. In May of 1992, she secretly got married to film director Sajid Nadiadwala. The marriage was kept a secret to protect her ever rising career. But that did not stop the tabloids from linking her with every co-star she worked with and calling her a “man-eater” which to she answered that if she was indeed a man eater, where are all the bones? She openly accepted the fact that she did indeed have a relationship with Sajid but denied the marriage allegations. In one of her last interview for Stardust in March of 1993, she said there will be a big announcement the following January relating to Sajid and her relationship. The announcement will never come.

Vishwatma, Dewaana and SAS were not her only movies in 92, 7 other movies: Geet, Dil Ka Kya Kasoor, Dil Hi To Hai, Dil Aashna Hai, Dushman Zamaana, Jaan Se Pyara and Balwan also followed making her the youngest successful star in Bollywood and earning her the Outstanding Face Of The Year at the end of 92. More hits followed her in 93 with Kshatriya and Andha Insaaf. Everyone was convinced she was going to be the biggest star in Bollywood but nobody had any idea what the fate will bring.

On April 7th, 1993, a 19 year old girl, dressed up in a bridal suit was surrounded by hundreds of people in a Mumbai suburb. But instead of being taken to her future home, she was taken to a cemetery to get buried. The girl was the ever successful, Divya Bharti. Her tragic end came on April 5th, 1993, when around midnight, she fell from her husband’s 5th floor building ending her ever growing successful career and most importantly her life. The circumstances behind her death were considered suspicious by the media with some saying she was pushed to her death, some saying she committed suicide and some saying she was heavily drunk and slipped. However, despite an investigation, police found nothing. To this day her death remains a mystery.

Her body was only released on the day of her funeral to taken to her father’s house who after hearing of his daughter sudden death, suffered from a mild heart attack and only released from the hospital on the day of her funeral. Her husband, Sajid also fainted and was taken to the hospital and was only released on the day of her funeral and after lightening the pyre, was overwhelmed by emotion and once again collasped. Around 500 people included her funeral with the likes of Anil Kapoor, Amrish Puri, Raj Babbar, Yash Chopra, Jimmy Nirula, Sudhakar Bokade, Mukesh Duggal, Raza Murad, Vikas Anand, Ram Mohan, Javed Khan, Raj Kanwar, Nitin Manmohan, Pehlaj Nehlani, Hema Malini, Karisma Kapoor, Sangeeta Bijlani, Sridevi, Manisha Koirala and Asha Parekh, offered condolences to the bereaved family members at their residence. They were not the only one, the Mumbai streets were filled with fans of the young actress coming from all over India trying to get one last glimpse of the beautiful actress. Despite being only 6, I remember her last photographs of her in a bridal suit in front page of a newspaper.

After her death, her final two movies, Rang and Shatranj were released and dedicated to her memory. Movies like Mohra and Ladla were left unfinished and she was later replaced by Raveena Tandon and Sridevi. After showing clips of Divya in Ladla and comparing to Sridevi, many people felt that she did a much better job. Unfortunatly it was not meant to be. If still alive today, she would have 32 and without any doubts one of the biggest name in Bollywood along with Madhuri, Sridevi, and Kajol. These days, not many people know her but those who still remember her, consider her to be one of the best actresses to ever set foot in Bollywood.
