Sujoy Ghosh my director on ‘Aladin' sent me the final tracks for the film and after an extremely long interval I put on my headphones to listen to them to download them on to iTunes and to transfer them on the iPod. These are works that we have been involved in during the making of the film. They are songs that we sung together and constructed them during long and late hours in the neat and efficient studio of Vishal and Shekhar, that young and dynamic duo music directors. We lived with them on the sets for days during the time when we filmed them. Danced to them, enacted along with them, through heat and cold, through rehearsals and retakes. Read More

Just saw Shawshank Redemption....It seems to be on a lot of ‘must see' lists. Really enjoyed it and loved Robbins' performance and the way his character was written............ So Kiran and I are away from home, in one very quiet spot, just lying in and resting. Reading, going for walks, watching films. Read More I leave for a long vacation to North America with my son Junaid and my daughter Ira.........We're planning to do some serious skiing in Montana.... Read More

Just finished with the Oneness course and heading back to Chennai to take a flight back to Bombay, and my phone kept ringing incessantly with unknown numbers flashing, so I didn't take them, then I started getting messages from people from the media... and then I realized what had got them so excited, another piece of NEWS! Yes it's out... Amitji will host the next season... Read More

I am in love with life, I am writing to you after a hilarious day of shooting with Sajid Khan and my wonderful co-stars, Ritesh, Arjun, Lara and Deepika, who after shooting the first song of our movie, are now only singing one song repeatedly, and that's ‘He's such a Loser'.........Now I cycle miles through Hyde Park everyday, I love how many people no matter what their age, are in the Park come rain or shine doing some sort of fitness Read More

Women make life easier for so many. I think it's the women who work in my house and look after my children who are the most inspiring. They literally support their entire family. They leave their village and children to earn a living with which they provide for everyone. Their husbands on the other hand just sit and do nothing! Read More Thank you all for the absolutely terrific response to the 1st episode, I was flooded with texts, calls and mails (which I couldn't access due to my phobia of computers). We've got some great reviews too, and unanimously the Salman-Salma aunty episode won hearts. In fact I think Salma aunty was such a star that I've told Salman to put her on the ‘WANTED' posters, she'll be a big draw.

I think about the time I came to Bombay. Fresh from modeling assignments around the world. It was a strange new city. I didn't know the language. But I muddled through. Despite the loneliness that I felt in my earlier years in the city I felt a certain acceptance that grew with the years. Read More

Hi everyone! :) This is my tiny step into this labyrinth of virtual space. And, this being a blog, I think my first entry in it should be something that is very close to my heart and what I feel very strongly about - our environment........ Now don't worry, am not going to get all preachy and do an imitation of your 5th Std Social Studies teacher. Nor am I going to start a "Green chaddi" movement or anything! Read More

Right now, the offending party is the daily newspaper called 'Mumbai Mirror'. Their story about my 'imagined' break-up and a brand new 'link-up' is a pure stetch of imagination and desktop journalism. My reaction to that would obviously be to ask, why such reputed media publications work with such journalists?

I feel euphoric. Nearly 150 films are released every year and yet only a handful can earn the tag of being a "super hit". So, yes, it makes me feel very special that I could do that, and that too with my first film.Also I am not going to be modest... YES I did expect this. Read More

Now, first thing first. I love reading biographies & interviews of all time great directors, producers, actors and specially writers. I thought I must share some of their views as it may give you guys insights into the business of filmmaking in Hollywood. Hope you enjoy............'people today don't respect screenwriting as an art. People didn't think this way in the 1930's, 40's and 50's. Read More
