English (Romance) The Backstreet Boys have sold over 130 million records worldwide. According to Billboard, they are the first group since Sade to have their first seven albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200. English (Drama) English (Action) English (Horror) English (Action) English (Horror) Hindi Malayalam Sunday, May 13, 2012 Backstreet boy Howie D steps out on his own GARY GRAFF NYT SYNDICATE OWIE Dorough isn’t the most popular Backstreet Boy, and he knows it. He doesn’t have the youthful charisma of Nick Carter or the blond-bombshell looks of either Carter or Brian Littrell, let alone the bad-boy appeal of AJ McLean. All the same, Dorough considers himself “the glue within the guys,” the Backstreet Boys’ rock who is a solid, steady and comforting face for the group. He’s not the only one who thinks so. Carter once called Dorough “the man in the Backstreet Boys,” and more than one observer has noted that, when the Boys do their trademark walk into the audience to bring female fans back onstage, Dorough’s choice is likely to be the least physically attractive of the bunch. With that kind of team spirit, then, it’s not surprising that when Dorough’s first solo album, Back to Me, came out in November, it had been a full five years in the making – and not because the singer spent that much time in the studio. “I never wanted to make the group stop for my individual project,” the 38-year-old Dorough explains, speaking by telephone from his home in Cocoa Beach, Florida “I was working on and off, between breaks from our tours and recording and whatever we were doing. But after fans kept saying, ‘Howie, when’s it coming? Come on, is it really coming or not?,’ I really put my head to it and knew I had to finish my record.” Back to Me came out rather different, however, from the album Dorough had been talking about for much of those five years. Early on Dorough, the son of a Puerto Rican mother and an Irish-American father, spoke about exploring his Latin roots, working with the likes of Jon Secada and Wayne Rodriguez and even singing in Spanish. Back to Me doesn’t sound much different than the average Backstreet Boys album, however, which Dorough says was ultimately by design. “Initially I was kind of going in a more Latin direction,” the singer says. “I wanted to do something totally different than Backstreet Boys and explore my Latin roots, which I’m very proud of. But when I finally put my head into finishing this, I started doing some soul-searching and asked, H Lifeline The cover of Howie Dorough’s album Back To Me. Backstreet Boys have an international fan base, and fans love what we do. I didn’t want to be one of those artistes who does something so totally different that people would ask, ‘Why did he do that?’ Is he not proud?’” ‘Is this the right direction for me?’ Backstreet Boys have an international fan base, and fans love what we do. I didn’t want to be one of those artistes that does something so totally different that people would ask, ‘Why did he do that?’ Is he not proud?’” I’m very proud of being a Backstreet Boy, so why stray too far from the mold?” That mold, of course, has been very good to Dorough and his bandmates since 1993, when the Backstreet Boys came together in Orlando, Florida. Dorough is a native Orlandan and had been bitten by the performance bug at an early age, thanks to the proximity of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort. He met McLean first, and the two caught the attention of manager Lou Pearlman, who held auditions that brought in Carter, Littrell and his cousin, Kevin Richardson. Dorough also had recruited a fellow aspiring singer named Chris Kirkpatrick, but he wound up joining the rival N Sync instead. Taking their name from Orlando’s Backstreet flea market, the quintet started out performing in shopping malls and high schools. After signing a deal with Jive Records, however, the band had its first success in Europe before bringing its self-titled debut album to the US in 1996. Backstreet Boys sold a combined 24 million copies worldwide and launched hits such as Quit Playing Games and I’ll Never Break Your Heart. That set the table for Millennium, which had first-week American sales of more than 1.1 million copies and went on to sell more than 30 million globally. All told, the Backstreet Boys have sold more than 130 million albums and singles worldwide and won innumerable awards. “It’s so much more than we ever imagined,” Dorough says. “When we started, you could be a star, but there had been nothing really that huge except maybe Michael Jackson. It wasn’t even in the realm of imagination, you know?” The group’s sales declined as the boy-band craze waned, but Dorough and his mates have kept the Backstreet Boys going, touring regularly and releasing new albums, most recently This Is Us (2009). Though all the members have outside interests as well – Dorough has a management-and-production company, and played guest roles on such shows as Roswell (2000) and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (2002), and started the Dorough Lupus Foundation after his sister Caroline died from the disease – Dorough is clear that the band remains a growing concern, and will for the foreseeable future. “We just love doing it,” he says. “We all get along well, we love working together, we love performing, we love the fans. We’re smart enough to know that what happened early on wouldn’t last. You can’t sustain that level of success forever. But we have great fans and we’re always able to go out and tour and do well. We’re really blessed.” And they’re not dumb. Meanwhile Dorough hopes that his solo project, which he’s promoted by opening for a few concerts by Britney Spears, will get its due. Moving away from idea of crooning in Spanish – which, he admits, “I really don’t speak very well” – Dorough opted instead to “push the tempo a little bit, get into more European dance stuff and also the Backstreet Boys’ signature sound in the slower songs.” In fact, originally he had pitched three of the songs – Dominoes, Over My Head and Shatterproof – for This Is Us, but they didn’t make the cut. Nor did Pure, which Carter and Dorough had co-written. When it was decided that Pure didn’t fit on This Is Us, Dorough pounced. “I said, ‘Dude, I want to keep this for my record,”’ he recalls. “And (Carter) was excited for me. There’s nothing better than to have the support of your own guys for something you’re doing.” The album’s first two singles, the up-tempo 100 and the ballad Lie to Me, were by other writers, but that didn’t bother Dorough, he says. “I’ve definitely always been open-minded to having songs written by other people,” he says, “whether it’s Backstreet Boys or my own thing. I’m a firm believer in writing your own record, because you definitely have that personal attachment, that personal input to it. But, at the same time, I’m not shy of giving credit to someone else who can write a song better than me.” Howie Dorough Startalk Paltrow is face of new Hugo Boss fragrance Not too raunchy for younger fans, says Minaj ACTRESS Gwyneth Paltrow has signed up to become the face of Hugo Boss’ new fragrance, Nuit Pour Femme. “To me, the Boss woman is driven, ambitious and goes after what she wants, but she balances being strong and very feminine,” contactmusic.com quoted her as saying. The 39-yearold will be appearing in TV, print and online campaigns for the fragrance. RAPPER Nicki Minaj has hit back at the criticism that she is too sexual for some of her younger fans saying she does not push her raunchy side in her music and videos. “That’s not what I’m about at all. I’m no different from any other girl out there in that way. I’m all about rapping, writing and acting - nothing else,” showbizspy.com quoted Minaj as saying. 34 Sunday, May 13, 2012 PLAYHOUSE www.qatar-tribune.com Beetle Bailey Blondie YESTERDAY’S ANSWER Popeye Spiderman LEARN ARABIC Yudkhil Insert Yara View Seegha Format Zits Adwat Tools Mafetha Window Malf File Dennis the Menace The Lockhorns Hoy en la Historia May 13, 1981 Pope John Paul II was shot and wounded as he drove through a crowd of 20,000 in St Peter's Square in Rome.

Sunday, May 13, 2012 ENVIRONMENT www.qatar-tribune.com 35 Dolphins work with fishermen in Brazil to catch fish Environment guide A VISITOR might stumble upon a strange sight in Laguna, Brazil, if they went down to the shore. Here, the local fishermen rely on dolphins to help them with their yearly fish catch. New research has found that just one local group of about 20 dolphins work with the fishermen, while the other local dolphins don’t co-operate, finding other sources of food. The researchers aren’t sure what separates these groups. Scientists had known that dolphins work together to herd groups of mullet, a fish that’s an important source of food for local fishermen, toward a line of fishermen in boats or knee-deep water. Then the dolphins signal with specialised head or tail slaps when and where the fishermen should throw their nets. The co-operation is helpful to both parties, researchers said. The two wouldn’t survive without each other. “About 200 local artisanal fishermen are almost entirely reliant on the dolphins for catching their fish,” study researcher Fabio Daura-Jorge, of the Federal University of Santa Catarina, in Brazil said. “The fishermen do not fish without the assistance of the dolphins and know the individual animals from their natural marks and can recognise them by eye.” Daura-Jorge added, “The fishermen have names for the cooperative dolphins — particular stars in this cooperation are ‘Scooby’ and ‘Caroba,’ that co-operate for more than 15 years.” THE DOLPHINS DRIVE SCHOOLS OF MULLET TOWARD THE FISHERMEN. Eagle repository struggles to keep up with tribes’ needs DAN FROSCH NYT SYNDICATE ILES from downtown Denver, in a small warehouse on the city’s edge, Bernadette Atencio watched as two men methodically bundled piles of dead eagles into boxes, careful to include enough frozen gel packs so the remains would not thaw. “This one’s going to Prescott,” Atencio said, nodding toward one bird tightly parceled in plastic. “That one’s going to Pendleton.” Despite appearances, this was not some surreptitious animal-smuggling ring. It was a typical Wednesday at the National Eagle Repository, the only place where American Indians can legally obtain bald and golden eagles from the federal government for traditional ceremonies. Through a series of federal acts dating to the 1940s, bald and golden eagles have been fiercely protected. It is illegal to hunt the birds and also to collect feathers or eagle parts without the proper permit. So, for more than 30 years, this US Fish and Wildlife Service programme has been shipping thousands of eagle carcasses and parts to American Indians, who view the animal as sacred. But a growing backlog of applications, and a slew of recent court battles over when American Indians can lawfully obtain eagles on their own, has raised questions about whether the repository is sufficient. Currently, tribal members seeking an immature golden eagle, the most coveted bird, must wait about four and a half years. The waiting time for a bald eagle is two years. Despite the efforts by the Wildlife Service to ship animals as swiftly as possible, the waiting list has swelled to more than 6,000 applications. “More and more of our young people are going back to our spiritual way of life, and we can’t do our ceremonies without the eagles,” said Lee Plenty Wolf, an Oglala Sioux who lives in Fort Collins, and received a bald eagle on April 26 after waiting for almost three years. T h e Federal law, however, forbids anyone without a specialised permit who finds a dead eagle or eagle feathers from taking them. Each week on an average, the repository receives dozens of dead eagles or parts sent from across the country by the state and federal wildlife officers. Some have died naturally; others were roadkill or electrocuted by power lines. But with 4,500 requests coming in each year, the repository simply does not have enough eagles, said Atencio, who supervises the warehouse, in an old Army maintenance building. “It’s a supply and demand Dennis Wiist packs eagle carcasses and feathers to be shipped to American Indian tribe members. M Tribal members seeking an immature golden eagle must wait about four and a half years. The waiting time for a bald eagle is two years. Despite the efforts by the Wildlife Service to ship animals as swiftly as possible, the waiting list has swelled to more than 6,000 applications Lee Plenty Wolf issue, and we need more supply,” she said. “It’s a doublee d g e d sword. To fill all the requests in a timely m a n n e r means we need more dead birds.” Having to wait so long to use eagles in religious ceremonies has become a source of frustration for many tribes. “Eagles are sacred to us, so of course we are interested in the eagle protection,” said Melissa Holds the Enemy, a lawyer for the Crow tribe in Montana. “But there is a huge disconnect that is not being addressed. Protecting eagles and accommodating Indian religious freedoms do not need to conflict with one another.” Driven by the delays, the Crow have been fashioning a plan to present to Fish and Wildlife officials that would allow tribal members with permits to keep dead eagles found on tribal land. D a n A s h e , director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, said in an email that the agency was especially sensitive to American Indians’ religious needs and recently streamlined the application process to reduce wait times. Ashe also cited a special programme that has, in recent years, allowed five tribes to keep eagles too injured to be released in the wild. The tribes are permitted to distribute naturally molted feathers for ceremonial use, but cannot kill the birds. “We understand the importance of eagles to the religious beliefs of tribal members, and we are committed to doing everything we can, within the boundaries of federal law and our mandate to ensure healthy eagle popula- Eagle carcasses in a freezer. tions in the wild, to improve tribes’ access to eagles for religious purposes,” he said. Debate over the issue has also played out in courtrooms of late. In 2005, a Northern Arapaho man, Winslow Friday, was arrested after killing a bald eagle on tribal land. Friday’s lawyer, John Carlson, argued that the repository’s wait time was intolerably long and that when birds were sent to the tribe, they were often too badly burned or decomposed for use. A federal judge in Wyoming, William F Downes, dismissed the charge against Friday. But the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals, in Denver, overturned the ruling. Friday eventually pleaded guilty in tribal court and paid a $2,500 fine. In March, the Fish and Wildlife Service granted the Northern Arapaho a permit to “take,” or kill, two bald eagles for religious purposes. The tribe, which initially applied for the permit more than two years ago, had filed a federal lawsuit in 2011 saying the process was taking too long. Applications for such permits are rare. On March 30, a lawyer for the Northern Arapaho filed an amended complaint in federal court calling the permit “a sham” because it forced the tribe to obtain the eagles off its reservation, which left tribal members subject to prosecution under state law. According to Jerome Ford, assistant director of the Fish and Wildlife Service’s migratory bird programme, a joint tribal statute between the Eastern Shoshone tribe and the Northern Arapaho, who share the Wind River Reservation, prohibits the taking of eagles on the actual reservation. The permit was “the only option that did not create a conflict” between the two tribes, he said. As that case continues, Fish and Wildlife Department officials planned to meet this summer with tribal governments to figure out ways to speed the process for receiving eagle feathers. “This is an issue across all tribal nations,” said Myron Pourier, who sits on the executive board for the Oglala Sioux tribe in South Dakota, which hopes to build its own eagle repository. “All of them are going through the same federal red tape when they shouldn’t be. Especially when this is a part of our way of life.” 36 Sunday, May 13, 2012 CHANNEL SURFING www.qatar-tribune.com BEST ON TV TONIGHT 7:00 pm BBC World: BBC WORLD NEWS 7:45 pm Cartoon Network: ED, EDD N EDDY 7:20 pm Extreme Sports: PINKS: LOSE THE RACE, LOSE YOUR RIDE 7:00 pm Crime & Investigation: CRIMES THAT SHOOK BRITAIN TV PRIME TIME GUIDE 7:00 PM 7:30 PM 8:00 PM BBC WORLD OSN NEWS CARTOON NETWORK DISNEY CHANNEL BBC WORLD NEWS LIVE NBC MEET THE PRESS ED, EDD N EDDY A.N.T.

The title of the closely guarded 480-page novel by the prolific Harry Potter author will be The Casual Vacancy. It and will be available worldwide in English on September 27 in hardback, e-book and in audio form, Little, Brown and Company said in a statement. The publisher promised it will be “blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising,” and offered some general plot details. Rowling’s foray into the adult fiction world begins when a character called Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly, leaving a town called Pagford in shock, before readers will realise that behind Pagford’s facade is a town at war, according to the publisher. “Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils... Pagford is not what it first seems,” said the statement. “And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?” When the novel was first announced in February, Rowling, 46 said the successful Harry Potter series had given her the “the freedom to explore new territory.” The seven-book series sold 450 million copies worldwide and resulted in eight top-grossing movies. The Casual Vacancy is the British writer’s first novel directly aimed at the adult market. JK ROWLING Advaita Kala A poster of the film Kahaani Bollywood must give women more space, says Kahaani writer Advaita Kala, whose novel speaks for the power of 30-something single working women in India through the genre of ‘chick lit’, says ‘women must have better representation in Bollywood’ MADHUSHREE CHATTERJEE IANS HE film Kahaani, for which she wrote the story, grossed Rs54.55 crore. Advaita Kala, also considered a pioneer of India’s chick lit genre, says women are also heroes and need a better representation in Bollywood. “A woman cannot be used as a commodity and cast in a certain mould. The hero needs to acknowledge the heroine because women are also heroes. The gender-sensitive mindsets in Indian cinema will have to go,” Kala said in an interview citing Kahaani as an example. It isn’t surprising that she struck the right chord with the story of a pregnant Vidya Bagchi looking for her husband on the streets of Kolkata in Kahaani as she had wooed readers with her maiden novel Almost Single in 2009. It had reportedly sold more than 100,000 copies. Kala, whose novel speaks for the power of 30-something single working women in India through the genre of “chick lit”, says “women must have better representation in Bollywood. A perfect heroine is one who can express her sexuality.” Now she is set woo television audiences and says the script of her serial is unusual. “It was a great experience conceiving the story of Kahaani, but now I am looking forward to scripting for a new television serial. I hate looking back,” Kala said. “The concept of the television script I am working on is very unusual. The producers are backing the right kind of script. It is creeping in - the ability to think out of the box,” she added. The young writer rates the new movie scripts in Bollywood high on the cre- T Vidya Balan in a scene from the film Kahaani. ative scale and said, “The scripts now are very interesting.” Although director Sujoy Ghosh’s movie Kahaani turned the economics of the box office by running to packed houses for more than four weeks and earning Rs54.55 crore, the writer votes Pan Singh Tomar as “the best movie of the year”. As far as Kahaani is concerned, she said: “I had met Sujoy Ghosh around 2009 and he encouraged me to conceive the movie.” But now she slams the lid firmly back on the Kahaani experience saying the future was more important and wants to put Kahaani behind. Kala does not find travelling across genres difficult, including “participatory journalism”. “I do the same things. I create characters and dialogues in scripts. My books have a lot of dialogue as well. It is basically how it reaches the audience. The genres are pretty much the same. I am a storyteller,” she said. The writer almost completed working on her new novel, which is not chick lit. She has set up a book club for power women, which will meet this week to “discuss a gamut of issues from literature to gender”. As an author, issues of copyright occupy Kala more than anything else. “The copyright laws for writers in this country needs to change. Writers need to be empowered and contracts need to be looked into. I know government lawyers are working on it,” Kala, who is in her early 30s, said. The fact that writers are often at the receiving end of the publishing chain has a lot to do with the literary culture, the writer-scriptwriter said. “The writer and the content creator has to be looked upon in a more favourable light. Lyricist and poet Javed Akhtar’s campaign for change in the copyright structure to protect authors and performers needs to be applauded,” added . She, however, refused to comment on whether she had faced any copyrightrelated issues.

They hark back to the 1970s with a tongue-in-cheek homage to the original TV show that, among its many storylines, told of a vampire in a dark and never-ending search for his long-ago love, Josette ORKING with director Tim Burton, Johnny Depp has played many eccentric characters in the movies, from lonely monster Edward Scissorhands to eccentric filmmaker Ed Wood and the Mad Hatter of Alice in Wonderland. But there was at least one strange being they hadn’t tried - a vampire - and that’s about to change. The odd couple of Hollywood can check that character off their list now with the debut of comedic thriller Dark Shadows, based on the classic TV Actress Helena Bonham Carter, (left), and director Tim s o a p Burton during the filming of Dark Shadows. opera t h a t from 1966 - 1971 about vampires, werewolves and r a n witches populating a ghostly manor house in the countryside. In an era that seems made for sexy bloodsuckers with six-pack abs - TV’s True Blood and The Vampire Diaries as well as the Twilight movies - Depp and Burton took an opposite approach. They hark back to the 1970s with a tongue-in-cheek homage to the original TV show that, among its many storylines, told of a vampire in a dark and never-ending search for his long-ago love, Josette. “Tim and I talked early on: a vampire should look like a vampire,” Depp told reporters recently. “It was a rebellion against vampires that looked like underwear models.” Depp plays well-dressed, well-heeled vampire Barnabas Collins who is turned into an otherworldly being in 1750 from a curse by spurned lover Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), a witch who then Johnny Depp buries him alive. as a vampire He wakes up in 1972 to learn his family home has in the film fallen into disrepair and the lives of his descendants Dark Shadows. played by Michelle Pfeiffer, Johnny Lee Miller and Chloe Grace Moretz - are in disarray.

W Gloria Estefan to appear on Glee IANS / EFE Ryan Seacrest proposes to Julianne Hough on American Idol ? TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK UBAN American singer Gloria Estefan confirmed via Twitter, her upcoming participation in the successful musical television series Glee in the role of the mother of Cheerio Santana, played by Naya Rivera. It is Rivera to whom Estefan directed her messages on Twitter: “I have to say that working with NayaRivera was an amazing experience!” In addition, Estefan has posted several photographs with part of the cast of the Fox series. Also on her Twitter account, Estefan thanked the show’s production team. Other Latino performers who have joined the show in guest roles include Ricky Martin, in the role of a sexy Spanish teacher, and actress Ivonne Coll, who will play the mother of Gloria Estefan’s character. According to what Glee creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have said, viewers of the programme have shown they are very interested in knowing about the parents of the main characters, and that was the reason that they decided to include the characters created for Estefan and Coll. C YAN Seacrest surprised fans and his girlfriend Julianne Hough on American Idol when he popped the question to his love of one year live on air. No, not that question! Speaking to Rock of Ages director Adam Shankman and Hough — who appears as Sherrie Christian in the film — Seacrest, 37, seemed to catch his girlfriend off guard. “Julianne would you take the mic for a second?” Seacrest asked Hough, 23, during a break from the Top 4 contestants’ performances. “There’s something that’s been on my mind for a while.” “There was a lot of kissing R Gloria Estefan Depp said he used to watch the TV show when he was a boy and always dreamed of bringing it to the big screen. It wasn’t until he and Burton worked together on the macabre musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street that Depp discovered Burton also was a fan of the show. There was no question that Dark Shadows would be yet another collaboration. Yet rather than creating an updated version set in present day, Depp and Burton set their sights on the 1970s, and let the eccentricities of that era crash with Barnabas’ 18th Century comfort zone. “I wanted Barnabas to come across as ... this very elegant upper echelon, well-schooled gentleman who’s cursed in the 18th century and brought back to probably the most surreal era of our time - the 1970s - and how he would react to things,” said Depp. “Not just with technology and automobiles and such, but actual items of enjoyment for people like pet rocks, fake flowers, plastic fruit, troll dolls, lava lamps and the macramé owls.” Staying true to the original TV show was important, too. Dark Shadows screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith studied DVDs of the series, books written about the characters and the plot lines. At his first meeting with Depp and Burton, Grahame-Smith recalls Depp pantomiming the vampire’s movements, while Burton was suggesting that Barnabas’ fingers need be one joint longer. “A lot was born in those early meetings,” he said. “What I needed to know about the tone, I relied on them because they were there watching the shows as kids and loving the show. They still have that knowledge of it and that love for it.” So much love in fact, that as Depp began exploring different ideas for playing Barnabas, he decided “it had to be rooted” in original actor Jonathan Frid’s stoic portrayal of the vampire. Depp called Frid’s version of Collins a “classic monster,” reminiscent of the types found in horror magazine Fangoria coupled with “a kind of rigidity to him - that pull up the back, this elegance that was always there.” If anyone appreciated Depp’s take on Collins, it was Frid himself, who died last month at age 87. “He had written me a letter a couple of years before and signed a photograph to me - that sort of passing the baton to Barnabas - which I thought was very sweet,” said Depp, recalling that Frid also brought his original Barnabas cane for the cameo. Burton described that day of shooting as “like having the Pope come visit ... part of the reason we were there is because those people inspired us.” going on in that preview, huh?” Hough shot back, referring to the clip from her film that just aired. “No, it’s not that. It’s a question I’ve been meaning to ask you and I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable,” her boyfriend said before slowly reaching into his suit jacket pocket to pull out a…piece of note paper. (Hough’s initial reaction: “Oh, God!”) Rather than present her with a diamond engagement ring, the Idol host asked that she do him a favour. “Will you...give this note I wrote to Tom Cruise? I’m such a big fan — I loved him in Cocktail,” Seacrest told Hough. Ever the good sport, Hough relaxed and bantered right back with her boyfriend. “Wait, but didn’t we write that (note) together last night?!” she said.

How I work on my character is very instinctive and very organic. Everybody has a very different way of working on their character,” the 52-year-old said at the launch of author Hussain Zaidi’s book Dongri to Dubai. “It’s research and instinct and how I feel, it’s a part of my personality also. It’s a mixture of so many things,” he added. Anil is currently shooting for Shootout at Wadala where he plays ACP Isaque Bagwan, while Race 2 also has him in the role of a police officer. He was recently seen in Tezz as an anti-terrorism officer. SUPERSTAR Shah Rukh Khan unveiled a range of limited edition Tag Heuer watches along with Formula One driver Karun Chandok and recalled his role as a race driver in Baazigar. “Strangely, when I started off many years ago in a film of mine, Baazigar, I was supposed to be a Formula One car driver though I don’t think it was a Formula One racing car,” the 46year-old said. “It was really difficult and I said that I am going to do the shot myself. I thought it was going really fast but the speed was just 40 to 50 kilometres but it just seemed very fast,” he added. Shah Rukh’s is currently shooting for Yash Raj’s untitled film with Katrina Kaif. ANIL KAPOOR SHAH RUKH KHAN Radha of The Forest all silk and steel, says Nandana Sen The Bengali diva seemed to have mastered the art of looking glamourous. In fact she has recently become the brand ambassador for designer Ritu Kumar IANS ANDANA Sen says that her character of Radha in Ashvin Kumar’s The Forest, is the oldest she has ever played and one which is “silk and steel”, displaying both a sharp tongue and a soft heart. The Forest is an ecological thriller which deals with the dynamics of human relationships against the dangerous and wild background of a forest. The plot of the story revolves around a couple who meet the wife’s ex-lover while on vacation in a forest. They are also haunted by the presence of a man-eating leopard in the background. “In The Forest I played a character much older than any role I’ve ever been cast in till date. I incorporated into Radha a great deal of interiority and maturity - sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, confident yet fragile, Radha is all silk and steel. Honestly, I would not play her any differently were I to play the same role now,” said Nandana, known for N Priyanka Chopra, in Teri Meri Kahaani. her role as Rani Mukherji’s 17-year-old sister in Sanjay Bhansali’s Black. The cast includes Javed Jaafri and Ankur Vikal. Ashvin Kumar’s films are always based on serious messages and themes. His previous works include Little Terrorist, Inshallah Kashmir and Inshallah Football. His characters often hold metaphorical significance and this is true for Nandana’s character as well. “Ashvin’s film has a powerful message about the environment. If we destroy our wildlife and natural resources, we will have to pay with our lives. And we will lose that fight, because even all the trappings of culture can never add up to the raw power and glory of nature,” she added while talking about the subject of the film. The Bengali diva seemed to have mastered the art of looking glamourous. In fact she has recently become the brand ambassador for designer Ritu Kumar. “I loved working with Ritu and Label, the line she created for The Forest shows a great combination of casual practicality and ethnic elegance,” she said. Priyanka in awe of Aradhana in Teri Meri Kahaani IANS CTRESS Priyanka Chopra, who plays three different roles in Teri Meri Kahaani, is excited about her character Punjabi Aradhana and reveals that she has added a personal touch to the role. “I wanted Aradhana to be very Punjabi-spoken, so I have used a very Punjabi accent, a few words in Punjabi where she speaks. I wanted her language to be influenced by Punjabi, so hopefully that’s come across,” said Priyanka in a statement. Her character of Aradhana belongs to the year 1910 and the actress is in awe of the particular look in the film, which has been designed by Manish Malhotra. “When we were doing the research for 1910, the most interesting thing was the look of 1910, specially around Lahore, the Punjab-Pakistan border.
