IT Raid Revelation: Sleepy Shahid In Priyanka's Bedroom?!

By movietalkies Tuesday Jan 25 6:13 PM

If IT sleuths had any clue about the kind of revelation they were going to stumble upon... they'd have brought along a posse of journos and lensmen for clinching evidence. Reportedly, when the Income Tax officials swooped down for a raid upon the residence of Priyanka Chopra at the early hour of 7.30 a.m suspecting serious tax evasion, they were greeted heartily by… a sleepy Shahid Kapoor sporting precious little… but a pair of shorts!

Rubbing their eyes in disbelief, as did Shahid, IT personnel assumed that they'd raided the wrong sixth floor apartment in Classic building on Yari Road in suburban Mumbai. Minutes later, it dawned upon them that Sasha and PC were "great friends".

As per insiders, an embarrassed Sasha dressed swiftly and made his exit.

Squeals a highly placed source on grounds of anonymity, "Shahid was very much present at Priyanka's house, but he wasn't in the raw and nor did he open the door because there was house staff for that. Shahid had spent the night at Priyanka's house and she had come home from walking the ramp for a fashion show for Shabana Azmi. They're trying to spend as much time together, coz' Priyanka will soon get busy with the promotions of 'Saat Khoon Maaf.'"

An IT official still reeling from the Sasha shocker, states in a tabloid chat, "We were surely shocked, but we had to carry out a swift raid and that is precisely what we did. The security personnel in the building were not given a chance to warn the actor that we were on our way up."

Reportedly, 70 IT officers drawn from various units raided 12 properties belonging to Chopra and Katrina Kaif in connection with alleged tax evasion. As per insiders, 12 lockers were raided; verification of documents took place and officials seized many documents from the suburban Mumbai residence of PC's dad Dr. Ashok Chopra.

NOSTALGIA

Sohrab Modi………..Little-Known Facts

The wizard of historical films (remember ‘Pukar’, ‘Sikandar-e-Azam’, ‘Prithvi Vallabh, ?) Was, frankly speaking, shattered after the disastrous failure of his magnum opus ‘Jhansi Ki Rani,. Nevertheless, he did not lose heart and went on to plan yet another historical, this one on the life and times of Ashoka the Great.

After finalising the script, he arranged a meeting with all his financial friends to discuss the project. Just as he finished briefing them about it, one of the guys asked: “Modi Sahab, who will play the little role of Ashoka?

He was stunned. Because nobody had ever before questioned him about the casting in his films. They would only ask whether or not he would be directing the movie and, the moment he nodded his head, they would give him the money.

The shock question made him realise that these people had lost faith in him as a film-maker. That was why they wanted to know who would be playing the pivotal role. The realization that his reputation as a film-maker was being questioned shook him up.

In his own words, “I was terribly upset and immediately scrapped the project. After this, I pledged, I will never make a movie again.” And he never did!

 Doodh Me Dhule Hue Mukesh

Mukesh……A Soulful singer.

Mukesh Chand, as Raj Kapoor always affectionately called him was a 'Dilli ka Kayasth'. Raj Kapoor came up with the one-liner 'doodh mein dhula hua Mukesh'. Soon the entire film industry began referring to him by this name. Did you know that Mukesh harboured a deep desire to become not a singer, but an actor ? That he eloped with his wife Saral in pucca filmi style ? Saral belonged to a wealthy, conservative and traditional Gujarati family. And that he was literally dragged out of a bar by music director Anil Biswas to sing 'dil jalta hai to jalne de', a track that became immortal in Indian film music history ? In 1959 'Anari' proved to be a major landmark in his career. Mukesh was nominated for the best singer award, which he won. Always described by Raj Kapoor as 'my soul'. Mukesh recorded his last song for Satyam Shivam Sundaram on July 26, 1976, just a day before he left for America to join Lata Mangeshkar's USA and Canada concert tour. Mukesh never returned to India. He passed away in Michigan in the United States of America on 27 August 1976. Though his son, Nitin Mukesh sounds like him, he has not been able to achieve what Mukesh did in his life-time.

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna…

Kishore Kumar……A man of various facets.

It’s been sixteen years when on that  dreadful evening of Tuesday the 13^th October 1987 around 5.20 p.m. Kishore Kumar the vocal acrobat who had livened Hindi film music breath his last. He was an unconventional personality. A unique inimitable character, who was virtually a ‘one man industry’. From a singer to an actor, director, producer, music director, story writer, lyric writer, editor and distributor as well! All rolled into one. He was infact the only second person to handle so many departments of film making after the ‘Father of Indian Cinema’ Shri Dada Saheb Phalke. Born on 4, August 1929 in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh , Kishore Kumar’s only ambition in life was to become the greatest singer of India. Hence day in and day out he used to sing songs of his idol, the famous K.L. Saigal and dream of becoming the top singer.

After completing his education, Kishore Kumar ran to Bombay where his elder brother Ashok Kumar was then a superstar and wangled him an introduction  to K.L. Saigal, whom he idolized. However, destiny had something else in store for him. Hence he neither got  the chance to meet K.L. Saigal nor he got the break as a singer. Instead he was put in front of the camera. Left with no option he accepted the offer.

His first movie as an actor was Bombay talkies ‘Muqaddar’ in which he had a minor role. In the following year in 1953 he was cast as hero in “Andolan’ directed by Phani Majumdar. But his rare break came when he starred in A.V. M’s “Ladki” opposite big stars like Vyjantimala and Bharat Bhusha. In 1954 he established himself as a star with movies like ‘Adhikar’ ‘Lizam’ ‘Naukri’ becoming big hits.

In fact during the period of 55’and 56’ he was the most sought after actor, movies like ‘Delhi Ka Thug’, ‘New Delhi’, Shararar’, ‘Aasha’ Bhai-Bhai etc. celebrated jubilees. During this period he acted with almost all the leading actresses of that time from Meena Kumari (Shararat); Nimmi (Char Paise); Madhubala (Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi); Nutan (Delhi Ka Thug); Vyjantimala (New Delhi); Anita Guha (Chacha Zindabad); Shashikala (Krorepathi) etc…

It was during this period that he went into production also with ‘Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi’. The movie was a run away hit and remains as the best comedies in the annals of Indian cinema. After the success of this movie Kishore Kumar tried few more movies like ‘Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein’’, ‘Door Ka Rahi’ etc. but they failed miserably. Also on the other hand his acting career got a set back with movies like ‘Half-Ticket; ‘Mem Saheb’; ‘Dal Mein Kala; ‘Albela Mastana’; ‘Duniya Nachege’ ‘Shreeman Fantosh, etc. failing at the box office.

While his acting career was slowing fading his singing career seemed to be slowing beginning. And the credit for this goes to actor, Dev Anand who gave him a break in ‘Munimji’ to sing ‘Jeevan Ke Safar Mein Rahi’. The song became a run-away hit. Following this came ‘Nau Do Gyara’ in which Kishore Kumar sang all the songs for Dev Anand – Remember ‘Mana Janab Ne Pukara Nahi’ and ‘Chod Do Aanchal Zamana Kya Kahega… Soon Kishore Kumar become famous as an ideal singer for Dev Anand just as Mukesh was for Raj Kapoor and Mohd. Rafi for Dilip Kumar.

Though it’s true that Khemchand Prakash first gave the break to Kishore Kumar as a singer but it was music director S.D. Burman’s music in ‘Aaradhana’. Kishore Kumar won his first ‘Filmfare Award’ as best singer for the song ‘Meri Sapno Ki Rani’ and became a phenomena. Further movies like ‘Kati Patang’ , ‘Julie’, ‘Amar Prem’, ‘Tere Mere Sapne’, ‘Kora Kagaz’  established him as a singer par excellence. Actors who avoided him also took him as their play back singer. For instance even Dilip Kumar who insisted on having only Mohd. Rafi’s voice, took his voice in ‘Sagina’.

Kishore Kumar was gifted with a rich voice that could cover a fairly wide range. He could put into  each song that extra bit which made all the difference and accounted for the great liveliness that enabled him to win a maximum of seven Filmfare Awards for movie like ‘Aradhana’ (69); (80); ‘Namak Halal’ (82); ‘Sharabi’ (84); and ‘Sagar’ (85).

Towards his end Kishore Kumar had expressed his desire to quit films and settle down in his native Khandwa but instead he quit the world. With the sad demise of entertainer par excellence, Kishore Kumar, the Hindi film industry lost it’s limb. The hundreds of songs which he has immortalized by his melodious voice ensures that he stays in our ears and more importantly in our hearts.

To conclude remember Kishore Kumar’s last request;

“Chalte Chalte

Mere Heh Geet Yaad Rakhna

Kabhie  Alvida Na Kehna

Kabhie Alvida  Na Kehna”

So shall it be, Kishoreda.

The quintessential khadoos saas of Hindi cinema, Lalita Pawar had a kissing scene in Pati Bhakti (1922)

Dilip Kumar and Madhubala 

Dilip Kumar and Madhubala's romantic liaison provides a backdrop for a tragic love story. Their romance began on the sets of 'Mughal-e-azam', but never got a chance to culminate into marriage. The actress' father, a conservative Pathan, opposed their love as he thought it would cut off all the privileges her family enjoyed from Madhubala's huge paycheck.

Dev Anand and Suraiya

This is another love story that ended as dramatically as it began. They met on the sets of 'Vidya' and sparks flew. In exemplary dare-devilry, Anand saved Suraiya from drowing. In a scene straight out of a flick, Suraiya thanked Anand saying, "If it was not for you, I would not have been alive today." To this, Anand replied, "Would I have lived after seeing you die?". Interestingly, Anand loved the sobriquet "India's Gregory Peck" because the Hollywood actor was Suraiya's favourite. On the sets of 'Jeet', Anand gifted his ladylove a diamond ring which was thrown into the Arabian sea by Suraiya's grandmother.

Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman

Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman's romance was low profile but, undoubtedly, legendery. Dutt was always smitten by Waheeda's glowing beauty and good looks. But songstress wife Geeta Dutt was the proverbial kabab mein haddi. So angry was Geeta Dutt with her hubby film maker that she refused to sing for Waheeda in 'Sahib Biwi aur Gulam'. The love story had a tragic end when Guru Dutt committed suicide.

Raj Kapoor and Nargis

Raj Kapoor was a popular hero and a happily married man when he fell in love with Nargis, who later married Sunil Dutt. They starred together in many RK films. They were the most sought after pair, cine-goers of the time loved to watch. The tension it caused in the Raj Kapoor family brought to an end another love story. Raj Kapoor was also linked to Vijayantimala. That is another love story.

Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha

This is among the most discussed about off-screen liaisons. Yash Chopra's 'Silsila' came too close to Amitabh Bachchan-Rekha-Jaya Bhaduri's own personal love triangle. Most of the time, the duo met regularly at a secluded bunglow, which belonged to Rekha's friend. Their affair was low key until Bachchan roughed up a guy who tried to misbehave with his ladylove on the sets of 'Ganga ki Saugandh'. Till today, Rekha hasn't confessed her love to Bachchan in public, neither has the superstar spoken about the fling.
