I watch Akshay and Salman: Big B

After Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), why did you choose to return to the small screen with Bigg Boss season three? Salman, Akshay, yourself - the big screen's big stars are looking at small screen shows. What according to you makes it so viable?

Amitabh Bachchan: These are all personal choices and the Colors channel came to me with the proposal i seem to like what they had in mind and I accepted it and yes its wonderful to see many colleagues of mine whether it is Salman or Akshay or Shah Rukh, all getting into the business. I think creativity is something that should always be challenged and I would assume that they are all looking upon it as a challenge they need to fulfill.

What's so fascinating about Big Boss?

Amitabh Bachchan: Yes, I just felt that it was rather unusual to have 13 people live within a very enclosed area for a period of 3 months and what really would go on in their minds and hearts and their behaviour were they to be put in such strenuous circumstances and it would be interesting to probe each one of them or the ones that got evicted and what it was that ....

Reality shows have come in for a lots of criticism. Should a regulator look into content?

Amitabh Bachchan: Yes, I guess anything that anybody does is always going to be controversial or be criticised. So long as we are within the law of the country within the rules and regulations of the country, I don't see any harm.

Do you watch any other reality shows?

Amitabh Bachchan: I am going to do that a lot now after my own is over. But no, I have been watching a lot of the shows I've watched KBC when I was not doing it I watch Akshay's and I watch Salman's. They are all very interesting and so full of life.

You started off television with KBC. Now to Big Boss, but can TV ever match the thrill of films?

Amitabh Bachchan: I don't think that is really correct, Rajdeep, I think that it is a completely different format. It is a format where your lines are not given to you before hand. It is a format where you are not defying the character, you have to be yourself and of course be able to conduct the show in as smooth and as efficient a manner as possible. In many respects we have regard for people like you because you are doing this all the time and for us its huge labour. But I think that it's very enjoyable to be able to get out of that format of films and to be in front of television and do live. That is wonderful.

If I may ask, how much are you getting paid?

Amitabh Bachchan: You're allowed to ask me But also I am not allowed to tell you.

You've done it all - what next?

Amiabh Bachchan: I wait everyday for some kind of challenge. I hope there is somebody there listening to me and willing to offer me something new. It's always very enthralling to attempt something new something different and as artists who are in the creative field I think we would die if we didn't have something new to do everyday.

Is Katrina choosing Family over Salman?

After last year's bad experience, Katrina Kaif has decided to celebrate her birthday with her family in London. The actress is looking forward to meeting her family, but didn't reveal whether beau Salman Khan will be with her or not.

Katrina will turn 25 on July 16 and this time the actress, who is said to be under a lot of external and internal pressure, is determined to make her birthday a happy, stress-free and comfortable occasion.

Katrina will take off for a rare full-family reunion in London this July, to coincide with her birthday. She doesn't confirm the birthday, but admits that she's planning a holiday with family in July.

"I've been burning the midnight oil to make myself free for my family. I'm exhausted and stressed. And I can't wait to go home. Though I've met parts of my family on every visit home all of us eight siblings have not been together in nine years... can you believe it! I really want to do this," Katrina, who has earned rave reviews for her performance in just released "New York", told IANS.

Katrina is the middle sister among the seven girls of the Kaif family. She has always been the apple of the eye and it was very traumatic for her to wrench herself away from the family cocoon in London and make a career on her own in Mumbai.

According to close friends, Katrina was petrified of the isolation here. That's why when Salman Khan's family took her in their fold, she was indebted to them.

Last year Salman created a major embarrassment for her by picking up a fight with Shah Rukh Khan during her birthday party.

After the incident, is Katrina trying hard to gently move away from her adopted family?

"I'm just so looking forward to being with all my sisters. My brother is also taking the time off to be in London for the first time in years with all of us sisters. I've been with some of my siblings in London. But never all. It's not holiday for me. It's a necessity. And nothing can stop from making it happen," she said.

The actress' popularity soared after the success of "Namastey London" and "Singh Is Kinng".

Katrina-Salman’s public display of affection!

Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan, who are back on the reconciliation road, surprised quite a many not just by getting back together but also by their cosy public display of affection, very recently!
The duo, who is known to keep their private lives under wraps couldn’t control their feelings anymore and let the world peep into their private world, when they showed up together on the sets of Boney Kapoor’s ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’.

The duo, trying hard to prove that all’s well between them spent nearly five hours together on Sunday at Film City, where Salman was shooting for the title track of the movie.

According to a source, “Katrina arrived on the sets at 4.30pm. She was dressed in a pair of white jeans and a green top. The surprising part is that she did not confine herself to Salman’s vanity van but accompanied him around the sets. She even gave some suggestions in between shots. Later, she also spent some time with Boney Kapoor, Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani and Arjun Kapoor. She was with Salman while he was having dinner. Salman also lovingly fed her some dessert. It was 9.30pm when Salman took Katrina to her car. Katrina went directly to the airport as she was going to Malaysia to shoot for a shampoo ad.”

Producer Boney Kapoor confirmed the news piece and said, “Katrina had dinner with us and was on the sets until we packed up.”

Here’s hoping that this one wasn’t one of those futile attempts by the star couple to prove that nothing is wrong in their ‘jeopardized’ relationship.
