Mumbai: All the controversies that Veena Malik created has finally paid off.

According to reports, Swayamvar Season 4 – Veena Ka Vivaah has set a record with 71,240 entries from candidates ready to take part in the show.

By comparison it is nearly 23,000 more than the last season which had Ratan Rajput as the bride. The Pakistani controversy queen can now boast of being the most in demand among others. Rakhi Sawant (30,000), Rahul Mahajan (43,000) and Ratan Rajput (54,000), were the previous contestants.

Surprisingly a large number of entries are from abroad. Reports say that Pakistan, UK and US dominate the foreign category. However, the maximum number of entries is from India.

Veena was reportedly over the moon with the response.

North India dominated the Indian entries with 41 percent. Mumbai and Pune follow at 38%. What left even Veena amazed was that a good number of entries were from Poland.

Commenting on the staggering number of entries Veena opined that the beauty, family values and tradition of the Indian and Pakistani girls are what attracts people from across the world.

Not the one to let go of an opportunity of self-praise, Veena said that her boldness could be the reason why a majority of North Indian's are attracted to her.

However, only 116 entries were shortlisted of which Veena selected 40. She is yet to choose 16 finalists from among them.

Only Rahul Mahajan got married on the show. Ratan Rajput and Rakhi Sawant did not marry. On her part Veena says she is in search of a soulmate. 

Sunny Leone hotting up for JISM 2

Sunny Leone the Indo-Canadian adult film star is embarking on her first Bollywood film, Jism 2. The movie a sequel to the bold and sensual 2003 Jism, will feature Sunny as the lead female. She is very excited and is making an extra effort by following a fitness and health regime to make her look amazingly hot and sexy in the film.

Sunny Leone is on a regime of toning up and a balanced diet to look as hot as she can for her first Bollywood movie, Jism 2. The Indo-Canadian porn star will play the female lead in the Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt sequel to Jism, which starred Bipasha Basu in the bold lead role.

Sunny was formally announced as the Jism 2 girl by Pooja Bhatt further to her stint on Big Boss 5 (the Indian TV equivalent to Big Brother in the UK) in 2011. Sunny will be joined by Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda as her ‘love interests’ in the new film which takes to the floors in April 2012.

Mahesh Bhatt said of the two male leads: “Yes. They both are right for the roles. Arunoday has the physical attributes and sensitivity needed to deliver what we expect from this role.” And added: “One is dark and brooding and the other has a more flamboyant, swashbuckling personality. Sunny is the diva.”

Bhatt also revealed that: “Imran Zahid will be playing a key role in JISM 2. This young man from Bokaro,Jharkand has certainly come a long way!”

Sunny has been working hard to make sure her debut movie is going to be a success. She is aiming to make herself to be even hotter and sexier than Bipasha. Sunny said: “Yes I am working on getting fit for Jism 2. There are a lot of sexy scenes in the movie.”

But when asked what kind of sex scenes, she replied: “For everyone asking! Sex is illegal in movies in india!!!!” Sexy scenes, but no sex, guys.”

Being on Big Boss 5 helped her lose weight too. Speaking of the show she said: “I lost 12 pounds on the show and now I’m just trying to tone up for Jism2.” Apart from the workout and good eating habits,

Apart from regular physical workouts, Sunny has been keenly following special low-fat diet and also following Bikaram Choudhary’s Yoga classes.

To make sure her pronunciations meet the expectations of audiences and the director, Leone is also busy taking Hindi lessons. A similar feat to Katrina Kaif when she first started in Bollywood. Talking about her lessons, Sunny tweeted: “At the gym and also taking audio Hindi lessons! Hindi Hindi Hindi!”

“The people around me probably think I’m crazy. Lol repeating what I hear out loud in Hindi… Haha whatever! Anything for @jism2″.

“I believe this is my birth right2speak Hindi and punjabi it’s who I am.Indian &proud!& @jism2 is giving my big break in movies,So thankful!!.”

Tweets by the makers of the film on Twitter say:

“If JISM raised the bar with regards to how Bipasha Basu was styled & presented, wait & watch what we have planned for @Sunnyleone in #JISM2.”

Sunny will be growing her hair long and lush for Jism 2. “I had a haircut after going home from India to make it healthy. I really want my hair to grow really fast right now for Jism 2,” said Leone.

There has also been talk at the rumour mill of Sunny being considered for an item number in Ram Gopal Varma’s film Department. But sources say that Sunny signed a contract with the Bhatts which stipulates she would not do anything apart from Jism 2 whilst working on the film. To quash this buzz, Leone tweeted and said:

            “Everything else you hear in the news is not true. I am going to make my debut with @jism2        

             ONLY!!!! I LOVE @jism2(sic).”

The initial poster for Jism 2 has raised questions too if the woman wrapped in a wet cloth is Sunny Leone. Because many say it was produced before Sunny was signed for the film. This is possible because the girl in the image has longer legs than Sunny and also protruding ribcage, which does not match the voluptuous figure of Leone.

ism 2 is much awaited and many wonder how the Indian censor board will react to the film based on the noise about it so far and how will the Bhatts aim to get round the board? Mahesh stated:

“The Censor Board allows us only that much. We will operate within what the law of the land permits. The idea is to make a film with a coherent narrative instead of one, which only titillates. The physical and sensual experience of this film will give the viewers a spiritual one.”

So, now all eyes will be on what the Bhatts will produce using Sunny Leone, an open minded sex symbol and porn star from Canada in her first Bollywood film, which should be lighter work for her compared to her previous ‘more demanding’ filming roles. And the question on everyone’s mind is will Sunny Leone be hotter and bolder than Bipasha Basu in the Jism sequel?

Bipasha Basu says she had a ‘very uncomfortable’ time kissing R Madhavan

 The dusky beauty, Bipasha Basu, is known best for her bold performances but the actress has insisted that she still gets very nervous during a kissing scene, which might be a shocking news many out there.

India’s very own Bong beauty, who recently proved her glam avatar in ‘Players’, told the media that she became a good friend of Madhavan during the film’s shooting yet kissing him on screen was a very uncomfortable experience for her.

The 33-year-old will resume shooting for her Hollywood film ‘Singularity’ in April and after getting done with it, she will participate in Vikram Bhatt’s ‘Raaz 3’, which will be released in July this year.

‘Raaz 3’, which is sequel to the 2002 hit film ‘Raaz’, will have a lot of lust, love and fear in it and therefore Bipasha is also nervous about ‘Raaz 3’.

“I am scared of kissing on screen. Yes, on-screen kissing nerves me to death and I had a really very uncomfortable experience in `Jodi Breakers` with R Madhavan who is a friend.”

“I had to kiss him, it was important for the film, so there was no convincing that was required. I knew I would do it but the process is not easy. Even for `Raaz 3`, it’s not going to be easy but don’t scare me from now. When it comes to it, we shall see,” she added. Daily times monitor.

Currently, Madhavan is on a weight-loss mission and Bipasha, who is fitness freak, is helping him out and the actress is very possessive about him as well.

Recently, both stars faced a lot of criticism on their kissing scene. It was said that perhaps Madhavan had eaten onions before shooting the scene and Bipasha had to rush to her room to get herself rid off the smell.

While responding to the news an irked Bipasha Basu tweeted, “Disgusting and ridiculous news about me and Maddy`s kissing scene today in one of the dailies! Looks like the people who wrote it kissed Maddy for the scene!”

 

Bipasha Basu: If you want a baby then there are sperm banks

The dusky beauty, Bipasha Basu, is now 33 but she is still enjoying her single status and the actress, in her exclusive interview with ‘Times of India’, has explained why it is important for her to enjoy her single status.

Indian own Bong Beauty, Bipasha, told the media that the main reason behind why most of the relations break is not tolerance but lack of love.

Bipasha remained in a serious affair with the Indian actor Dino Morea but their relationship ended in 2002 and then the new man in her life was none other than Bollywood superstar, John Abraham. Bipasha and John’s couple gained a lot of popularity especially after Mahesh Bhatt’s hit film ‘Jism’, in which they played lead roles opposite to each other.

However, after breaking up with John, last year, Bipasha has decided to stay single for a while since she believes in order to find happiness one should always take care of herself and wait for the right time.

Bipasha stated, “When both partners realize that there is no love between them then there is no point to carry on! Forget tolerance, lack of love between couples is resulting in separation after years of togetherness. But having said that, no I am not a feminist nor am I a cynic. But I will definitely take time to choose my soulmate.”

Bipasha added, “If you want a baby then there are sperm banks. Personally I still believe in fairy tale romances and know that my soulmate will come to me. I have two married friends and they advise me, ‘Bipasha, drag this as long as you can.’”

The fitness freak of the B-town, who was recently seen in ‘Jodi Breakers’, is now looking forward to the upcoming films like ‘Raaz 3D’, ‘Race 2’ and ‘Ghayal Returns’.

Bipasha is also doing a Hollywood film ‘Singularity’, in which she is playing a role opposite to Hollywood’s superstar Josh Harnett. Previously ‘Singularity’ was facing some financial issues but now everything has been sorted out and Bipasha will start off with the shooting in April.
