Bollywood Celebs at Calender Launch of Dabboo Ratnani

Ameesha at the launch of 'Nailspa'

Ameesha Patel Now Just Ameesha

She’s simply Ameesha now. We saw her name appear as ‘Ameesha’ in the credit titles of her latest film, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic and decided to check.

Since Ameesha didn’t take our calls or reply to our messages, we contacted her director, Kunal Kohli. He said, “Ameesha told us how she wanted her name to appear, and we did it as she wanted. She didn’t want her surname. I didn’t ask her why. I thought there must be a numerological reason for it.”

We then called up Ameesha’s mother, Asha Patel, who snapped, “If you have seen that she has dropped her family name in the titles, why are you asking me? Please leave me alone.”


Her brother Ashmit seemed to know about it, though. But, he too said, “Why should I react to it? I don’t have any take on this.” Could it be for reasons related to numerology? He replied, “If it’s numerology, I hope it works for her.”

Hats Off-Amisha

After a long hiatus, Amisha Patel’s career is on the upswing again with Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic.
And more than anything, she’s excited about the film because she is going for a complete makeover in this film. And besides that, she’s also excited about the fact she’s doing a film with her favourite actor, Govinda.

The duo are working with each other for the first time. And more than her oomph, we hear people on the set are talking about her professionalism.

For a 7 am morning shoot, Amisha makes it a point to be on the sets 15 minutes before time with her make up on. And more importantly there are no tantrums even if she is made to wait for long. Now the all important question is... Is Chi Chi back to his old late Latif days?

Surprise B'Day Party for Amisha

Amisha Patel has been in the celebration mode for close to a week. She and her current boyfriend, Kanav Puri flew down to the Maldives on June 5 for a brief vacation while friends in India were already planning a surprise birthday bash for her.

All preparations for Amisha's birthday began from June 4 at her close friend and jewellery designer Paulomi Sanghvi's pad in central Mumbai. Paulomi confirms and says, "Amisha is a childhood friend and I threw a surprise birthday bash for her at my place. It is so nice to plan these surprise parties for a friend."

It is heard that boyfriend Kanav called Paulomi from Delhi and the two decided to do something special for Amisha. Though Kanav and Amisha were originally supposed to go to Goa for their own special party on June 9, it looks like the actress's close friends did not want to miss out on the fun.

So, Akshaye Khanna, Tusshar Kapoor, Adnan Sami, Sanjay Kapoor and some more Page 3 regulars got together to sing happy birthday for Amisha. The venue was decorated with flowers and candles and there were thirty-five people who attended the do.

Amisha, who bought herself a fancy apartment in Juhu after moving out of Vikram Bhatt's house, is busy decorating her new place. The actress who is sure that her sizzling number in Yash Raj's Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic is going to notch up some rave reviews and cannot wait for the movie to hit the theatres.

Amisha Madly in Love with Puri

It is the holiday season and the one to make the most of it is Amisha Patel. The pretty actress is back from a vacation with her hotelier boy friend Kanav Puri. The young couple were spotted at every night club in Queen's land.

According to sources Kanav is a die hard romantic. And since Paris is Amisha's favourite city, he drove her there from London in his shinning Ferrari. That's not all when she returned back home, a huge bouquet of roses and chocolates welcomed her. And if anyone is skeptical about true love then they should meet Amisha, the glow on her face can write many fairytales and hopefully this time it will be a happy ending for her!

Amisha Patel in Kunal Kohli's Next Movie "Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic"

Yash Raj Films and Kunal Kohli are finally out with the name of their forthcoming film starring Rani Mukherjee and Saif Ali Khan. The film is now titled Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. “We just got the title 3 or 4 days back. Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic came by as I was looking for a title that was more relevant in today’s times, something that even a lay man can relate to. The name has to go the beyond the film and should be able to express more. And when we speak of Magic, it’s not ‘jadugar’ magic. It basically, talks about the little magic we need in our lives. Say sometimes you are upset, sad, or down and that little ray of magic works things out. We all need magic in our lives and that’s what the film does. It’s like a silver lining, it’s like the magic of life”, explains Kunal Kohli.

The buzz of Ameesha being in Kunal’s film already gave rise to various rumors of her doing an item number and so on. Clearing all rumors, Kunal states, “It is not an item number. I hate the term ‘item number’ in the first place. Yes, she is doing my film but it’s not what you think. Ameesha is doing a guest appearance in the film and it’s a character role, which would also have a song. The song is not an item number but a beautiful and poetic song. She would have scenes as well; I do not believe in the concept of item numbers and do not like it being associated to my song. I asked Ameesha to do the role because the kind of character I had built, I thought she would be able to do justice to the role. I approached her, explained the role, and told her there was a song as well. What is more important is her role and not the song. When she heard the role, she was excited and agreed to do the role immediately. She basically loved her part in the film.”

So what is Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic is all about? “The film is very different from all my previous films. I do not have the same style of directing in any of my films. It’s a combination of fantasy and reality. All my films have been different, but none had fantasy as an element in it. The genre of this film is slightly different. Fantasy is interwoven with reality like in Mr. India, Krrish and Koi Mil Gaya. These films have kids but are not directed only towards kids, it could be watched by audiences of all ages. Kids now- a-days are very intelligent and you cannot talk down to them. They have to be treated with respect. My film is an entertaining Hindi film, which is for kids as well as the masses”, says Kunal.

The film’s shooting is complete and it is now into post production. Shankar Ehsaan Loy have given the music for Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic and the lyrics are by Prasoon Joshi. “The music is releasing on May 22nd or 23rd. It’s a complete mix of emotional and upbeat music. The music of my films have always been strong and interesting and SEL have done a fabulous job on this. As for Prasoon, he is extremely talented”, says Kohli.
