R.E.M.’s farewell
marks end of an era
Glamgallery
RICARDO BACA
NYT SYNDICATE
ERTAIN news items lend
themselves particularly
well to social media. And
Facebook and Twitter
were on fire recently with
the news that the legendary, 31- year-old rock band R.E.M.
had broken up.
It was all over cable news stations,
too. One friend complained that he
learned of the band’s statement to its
fans via Fox News Channel, the conservative network that is the antithesis of
R.E.M.’s liberal politics. Regardless of
how they found out, the news was true.
R.E.M. was no more.
“To our fans and friends: As R.E.M.,
and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a
band,’’ the band wrote at remhq.com.
‘’Wewalkawaywithagreatsenseofgratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at
all we have accomplished. To anyone
who ever felt touched by our music, our
deepest thanks for listening.’’
R.E.M. was the ultimate college-rock
band that eventually transcended
boundaries by signing to a major label,
releasing multiplatinum albums and
scoring a major FM hit with a song
fronted by a mandolin.
The quartet released 15-plus records
– about half of which are essential listens in the college-rock, alt-rock, preindie- rock oeuvres. And it laid the
groundwork for modern indie rock,
including the work of Arcade Fire,
Death Cab for Cutie and Modest Mouse.
R.E.M. was important, yeah. But
R.E.M. was easy to like because its
members were making music their own
weird way in a Georgia college town few
people outside of the Southeast had
ever heard of. They sang about
Gardening
at
Night
and
Nightswimming, songs that had nothing to do with gardening or swimming.
R.E.M. gave us a soundtrack to live by
that wasn’t the pabulum dominating
the airwaves at the time – Journey,
Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey, Train.
Instead of indulging in the literal, singer
Michael Stipe revelled in the literate.
His strange, half-mumbled lyrics
became a cornerstone of the band’s
early years, which included the unparalleled releases Murmur, Lifes Rich
Pageant and Document.
The band’s basic instrumentation –
known and celebrated for its rudimentary, back- to-the-garage stylings –
caught up with Stipe’s intense lyricism
in the band’s fruitful mid-period.
R.E.M. was all over FM radio and large
amphitheatres via the celebrated releases Green, Out of Time, Automatic for
the People and Monster. But more
important, these releases saw the band
become the fully formed group it was
destined to be. But the record was also
home to the FM staple Stand, the popminded Pop Song 89, the thoughtful
World Leader Pretend, the Rock Band
video-game-destined Orange Crush.
Guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike
Mills and drummer Bill Berry had

jumped out of the garage, expanding
their repertoire and adding to the legend that was becoming R.E.M.
Crazy commercial success followed
via singles Losing My Religion, Shiny
Happy People, Man on the Moon,
Everybody Hurts and What’s the
Frequency, Kenneth? the last of which
came off 1994’s Monster. But it’s that
record that will be remembered by fans
and historians as a turning point for
R.E.M.
While touring the record, drummer
Berry suffered a near-fatal brain
aneurysm and left the band and his
performing career behind him. There
was speculation the remaining members would call it a day right there, but
instead they came back a few years
later with New Adventures in Hi-Fi,
the first album of R.E.M.’s late period –
and a marked downturn in the band’s
creative and commercial output.
The last 15 years
haven’t been completely fruitless.

R.E.M. was the ultimate
college-rock band that
eventually transcended
boundaries by signing
to a major label,
releasing multiplatinum
albums and scoring a
major FM hit with a
song fronted
by a mandolin
plain. Imitation of Life from Reveal is a
chiming, sing-songy tribute to the
band’s love of the accessible.
Supernatural Superserious from
Accelerate was a throwback to the
Green days, when Buck’s guitars
were big and chunky, Stipe’s
vocals were bold and out-front,
and Mills’ backups were soaring and
ever-prominent.
Many have made the argument in the
past few days that R.E.M.’s breakup
was long overdue. Had the band called
it a day after Berry left the group, we
would have missed out on a lot of
songs. More important, we wouldn’t
have had the many tours.
R.E.M. needed stay together this last
decade and a half to finish what it started. Doing so added to a singular history that is monumental. Would Spoon’s
Britt Daniel or pop sensation Brett
Dennen have started writing songs
without R.E.M.’s influence?
It would be impossible to calculate the
wide-ranging influence of R.E.M. over
the last three-plus decades. But we’ll
most likely have a chance to talk about
that in the coming years when R.E.M.
makes the inevitable reunion
tour/comeback show/farewell concert
rounds.
The guys are above certain ploys, but
we wouldn’t put that one past them.

Courtney Love to launch clothing line
Is Jessica Simpson Pregnant?
ROCKER Courtney Love says that she will soon release her
womenswear line - Never The Bride. The 47-year-old was
among the famous faces on the front row at designer Roberto
Cavalli’s show during Milan Fashion Week where she revealed
that she will bring out a collection in the near future after
finding a partner. “I hope that’s not a self-fulfiling prophecy
though,” contactmusic.com quoted Love as saying.
SINGER-ACTRESS Jessica Simpson, who is all set to
marry Eric Johnson, is reportedly pregnant. The 31-yearold fuelled speculation that she was expecting her first
child when she refused to toast fiance Johnson’s 32nd
birthday with champagne at a recent party, reports contactmusic.com. “She’s already having kooky cravings,”
the source told In Touch magazine. Simpson is planning
to wed Johnson in November this year.

50 new planets take the total to 654
Science
guide
FIFTY new alien worlds, including 16 “super Earths,” have been found – the largest extrasolar planet haul announced at one time,
astronomers say. The discoveries bring the total number of known extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, to 645. “The harvest of discoveries
has exceeded all expectations, and includes an exceptionally rich population of super-Earths and Neptune-type planets hosted by stars
very similar to our sun,” study leader Michel Mayor, an astronomer at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, said in a statement. One
of the newly discovered worlds, dubbed HD 85512b, lies at the edge of its star’s habitable zone – the region around a star where liquid
water, and thus life as we know it, can exist. The planetary treasure trove was found using an instrument called HARPS – short for High
Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher – at the European Southern Observatory’s La Silla facility in Chile. Radial velocity, also known
as the Doppler wobble technique, involves searching for wobbles in a star’s light that indicate the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet.
The method most easily finds very massive planets that orbit close to their host stars. But in recent years astronomers have used radial
velocity to find or confirm a number of planets down to a few times Earth’s mass. In fact, HARPS alone has detected about two-thirds of
all known exoplanets with masses less than that of Neptune. Scientists next plan to upgrade HARPS hardware and software and use the
instrument to conduct a more refined search of nearby sunlike stars for rocky Earthlike planets that could support life.

NASA’S NEW ROCKET,
AND 4 ‘LOST LAUNCHERS’
NYT SYNDICATE
N
ASA’s new, supersize rocket
system announced this week
will ferry people-packed
spaceships to the Moon,
Mars, and perhaps even
more exotic destinations in the future –
or maybe not.
The Space Launch System (SLS), as
NASA calls its new three-rocket configuration, could one day tower 97.5 meters
(320 feet) tall – higher than the Statue of
Liberty – and haul the equivalent of 12
fully grown elephants into low-Earth
orbit. With the end of the space shuttle
programme, the new system is meant to
eventually carry the Orion MultiPurpose Crew Module to get humans
into space.
Both SLS and an even bigger system to
follow would recycle space shuttle technology, including the liquid-fuel systems
and twin solid-fuel rocket boosters.
However, experts note that the SLS
comes from a troubled lineage of ‘’lost’’
rocket designs that were warped beyond
recognition, derailed from original missions, or altogether abandoned.
‘’SLS may not end up being built at
all,’’ said Jeff Foust, an aerospace analyst and editor of the Space Review website. ‘’A lot depends on continuing debtreduction efforts, changes in the White
House and Congress, and the whims of
politicians.’’
The $18-billion price tag and planned
test launch date of 2017 are particularly
suspect, Foust said.
‘’I’m skeptical they’ll build it on the
cost and schedule they’re talking about,’’
he said. ‘’It’s rare for any spacecraft this
large to come in reasonably on budget
and on schedule.’’

deemed NERVA flight ready, but it
never flew: The Nixon Administration
pulled the plug on Mars-bound plans in
1972.

ABANDONED ARES
As talk of ending NASA’s space shuttle
programme arose in 2004, the President
George W Bush announced the
Constellation programme, which aimed
to return people to the Moon by 2020.
Constellation’s heaviest cargo, such as
the proposed Altair lunar lander, was to
head into low-Earth orbit without astronauts, on top of the never built Ares V
launch system.
The crew would have later ridden atop
the much smaller Ares I rocket – illustrated above – to rendezvous with their
heavy equipment. The Ares I design was
derived from the space shuttle’s solidfuel rocket boosters, and a prototype
weathered an unmanned flight test on
October 29, 2009.
But on February 1, 2010, President
Barack Obama canceled the entire
Constellation programme, diverted
some of its allotted funding to commercial spaceflight development – and this
week supplanted the Constellation

SCRAPPED ‘FLY BACK’ BOOSTER
NOVA A NO-GO
The large Nova rocket booster, illustrated at right next to Saturn I and Saturn V
rockets, was in development in the
1960s before NASA decided on the
smaller Saturn V as the thunderous
launch system to deliver Apollo astronauts and their gear to the Moon.
The Apollo lunar-orbit rendezvous
system involved a Saturn V rocket
launching two spacecraft – a main vehicle and a lunar module – toward the
Moon. The two craft went into lunar
orbit, and the module detached for landing on the Moon. When the mission was
complete, the lander returned to orbit,
rendezvoused with the main craft, and
both headed back to Earth.
By contrast, the five-stage Nova rocket
would have sent everything directly to
the Moon in one colossal blast – with the
uppermost stages actually landing on
the Moon and later returning the crew
home. The technical challenges of build-

ing such a monstrous rocket soon
became apparent, however, and NASA
abandoned Nova in 1961.

While the Apollo programme raced to
complete the first Moon landing in the
1960s, NASA asked other engineers to

develop ways to reach Mars. One idea
was chock full of uranium.
The Nuclear Engine for Rocket
Vehicle Application, or NERVA, was to
be fitted to the upper stage of a big rocket. Many engines would be clustered
together in orbit to give enough power
for interplanetary travel.
To create propulsion, NERVA
pumped liquid hydrogen into a reactor
loaded with nuclear fuel rods. The
expanding hydrogen gas spewed out of a
cone-shaped propellant tank.
NASA and the Atomic Energy
Commission built and successfully tested the device – which packed the oomph

An abandoned Ares.
In 1980, a NASA engineer proposed a
model of a space shuttle orbiter attached
to a liquid-fuel booster rocket in a wind
tunnel.
NASA initially imagined the space
shuttle as the ultimate reusable spaceship, with not one but two manned components: the space shuttle orbiter and a
liquid-fuel ‘’fly back’’ booster, which
onboard astronauts could glide back to
Kennedy Space Center, making the
booster easy to reuse.
Budgetary and political pressure piled
on, however, and ultimately led to a different beast. Instead of the fly-back
booster design, each space shuttle lifted
off via an unmanned external fuel tank
and two solid-fuel rocket boosters,
which were difficult to reuse after falling
back to Earth.
In the end, each launch of the space
shuttle – research and development
included – is estimated to have cost
about $1.5 billion.
‘’Like Apollo, the liquid-fuel boosters
were expensive up front. But the cost per
flight would have been smaller’’ with the
fly-back booster, said former NASA
archivist David Portree, now a historian
at the USGS Astrogeology Science
Center. ‘’In the end, the space shuttle we
got was more expensive than what
NASA could have built.’’

Positive outlook helps teens tackle anxiety
Lifestyle
guide
TRAINING teens to develop a positive outlook might help them tackle anxiety effectively as adults, according to a new research.
“For example, I might wave at someone I recently met on the other side of the street”, says experimental psychologist Jennifer
Lau from Oxford University, who led the study. “If they don`t wave back, I might think they didn`t remember me - or alternatively, I might think they`re snubbing me. People with anxiety are more likely to assume the latter interpretation. These negative
thoughts are believed to drive and maintain their feelings of low mood and anxiety. If you can change that negative style of thinking, perhaps you can change mood of anxious teenagers”, said Lau, according to an Oxford statement. “Of course, it`s normal for
teenagers to be worried about exams, friends, social acceptance, and about the future generally. In some extreme cases, kids
avoid going to school because they are anxious. This is not just being a little bit worried”, she added. Thirty-six healthy teenagers
from schools in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire took part in the study, and were randomly allocated to receive training to boost
positive or negative readings of scenarios. Those who received positive training tended to endorse positive readings of the ambiguous scenarios, while those who received the negative training were more likely to view the scenarios more negatively.
Teenagers receive training to boost positive or negative
readings of scenarios.
Jewel-box rooms and

The diamond earrings of Muriel Brandolini.

Jewel box.
DAVID COLMAN
NYT SYNDICATE
URIEL BRANDOLINI is having quite a moment. One of
interior design’s most influential (and eccentric) figures,
Brandolini burst out in a riot
of color, material and motif more than 15
years ago. As laid out in The World of Muriel
Brandolini, a lavish tome out from Rizzoli
next month, her style may look au courant
now, but in the midst of the safe, classic
1990s, it was like a bucketful of red paint
tossed on a tasteful table setting.
“I was the only one using colour!” she
recalled last week in the Upper East Side
town house she shares with her husband,
Nuno Brandolini d’Adda, an Italian aristocrat and investment banker. It never
occurred to her, she said, that colour might
be something to avoid. She had grown up in
Vietnam and on Martinique, where vivid
colour was as natural a choice as Benjamin
Moore Decorators White is here.
And colour isn’t even the half of it.
Scarcely are you in the front door when you
find that the walls of the small entryway are,
in fact, covered in tiny glass beads.
“I like to make rooms like a jewel box,” she
said. It is a tactic that, however impractical it
sounds, yields refreshing results. Brandolini
is the rare decorator to venture boldly into
the rarefied climes of avant-garde design,
and often nonsensical-looking creations,
that can be glimpsed at Milan’s famed
design fair, the Salone Internationale del
Mobile. Instead of placing her designs starkly in the all-white sets so many end up in,
she uses them more like out-there fashion
accessories than as furniture or art.
(Enthusiasts, take note: a sale of the “accessories” Brandolini has accumulated, including furniture and art, will be auctioned at
Phillips de Pury on October 21, and a pop-up
shop of her designs is now open at Barneys
New York.)
But among the possessions she is sending
to the Phillips auction, there is one category
not on the table: her jewellery. “I feel naked
without it,” Brandolini said flatly. “My husband always teases me and says, ‘You’re so
Vietnamese.’ Because Vietnamese women
love jewellery. And it’s true. It’s a security
blanket. Plus, I always think: ‘What if I have
to get out of here fast? What could I take?”’
And Brandolini has a particular weakness
for the designs of James de Givenchy, whose
company, Taffin is known for extravagant
gestures. She has several of his pieces,
including a sea urchin ring and a pair of
teardrop pearl rings (one in black and one in
white). But she is most fond of, paradoxically, the simplest and most understated: a pair
of diamond studs.
Well, understated is perhaps the wrong
M
Diamond accessories.
word. These are, after all, perfectly matched
11-carat round diamonds. When Brandolini
was about to turn 40, she secretly asked de
Givenchy to design something very special.
The two men worked in concert on the
design, looking at many stones before finding a pair they thought perfect.
Cut more than 100 years ago in what is
now called the old-mine cut, they have fewer
facets and are less sparkly than today’s
reigning brilliant-cut stones. On the other
hand, the large facets make them look so
cartoonishly large that one assumes they
must be anything but diamonds. When her
husband gave them to her, tossing them to
her without ceremony in a little box, she was
amazed but did not doubt what they were for
a millisecond.
“Of course, I knew they were diamonds!”
she said, with a riotous laugh. “He wouldn’t
dare give me a piece of glass!” Not only was
she impressed with their maharajan size,
but the setting as well. “Usually I am a bit of
a dictator about these kind of things,” she
said. “Usually, I give you a big hint.”
The earrings are her favourites. “They’re
so beautiful,” she said. “They’re like an
instant facelift.” Despite her husband’s
objections, she said, “I’ll wear them with
sandals and a djellabah to the market. I
always tell him: ‘They’re so big, no one
thinks they are diamonds. Everyone thinks
they are glass!’ Of course, anyone who
knows Brandolini well would know them to
be real. As fanciful as both she and her style
are, she professes a surprisingly passionate
belief in authenticity.
“I love things being exactly what they are,”
she said, putting the earrings away. “I’d
rather have nothing.” There’s little chance
of nothing with Brandolini d’Adda and de
Givenchy around. “My birthday is coming
soon,” she mused mischievously. “I hope I
get something nice.”

Lopez buys $18 million home
Hudson launches weight-loss centre
SINGER and Hollywood star Jennifer Lopez has
bought an $18 million house in Water Mill area of
the Hamptons in New York. The house boasts of
heated marble floors in the master bath, multiple
walk-in closets and imported limestone flooring in
the foyer. It also has seven fireplaces, seven bedrooms and panoramic water views, reports
people.com. Lopez announced her split from husband Marc Anthony in July after seven years of marriage. The couple have three-year-old twins Max and
Emme.
ACTRESS Jennifer Hudson, who became the face of Weight
Watchers last year, has now opened her own weight-loss centre
in her native Chicago. Hudson, who she 80 pounds (36.2 kilograms) is helping others to do the same after launching the
Weight Watchers Jennifer Hudson Center on Tuesday. “I never
thought I would make it to have my own centre. I’m so honoured to be here and see this day,” said Hudson. Weight
Watchers bosses have vowed to donate a portion of the facility’s
profits to the newly-established kids’ charity, the Julian D King
Gift Foundation, set up by Hudson in memory of her late
nephew, Julian King.

fails to add up
As it sounds as Ally
and her ally — hunky
neighbour Colin, who
conveniently has a snoop’s
background, growing up in
a family of cops — track
down the men in her life
one by one
A movie scene from What’s Your Number?
AP
OLLYWOOD’S new age of realistically raunchy, female-driven
romantic comedies takes a step
backward with What’s Your
Number?, a dollop of forgettable fluff that’s as dull and predictable
as they come.
If Kristen Wiig’s Bridesmaids was a
10 and Cameron Diaz’s Bad Teacher
was a 6, then What’s Your Number?
rates a 2 or 3, straining through a similar R-rated sensibility but delivering the
usual vanilla of most PG-13
romances.
As she usually does, Anna
Faris comes through
with a spirit and
quirkiness far
more engaging than
the material merits, creating a character you’d
like to embrace
if only she wasn’t
forced
to
behave so stupidly
and shallowly. But it’s
difficult to get caught up
in what essentially is a onenote, feature-length gag
about a woman’s sudden fixation that she’s slept around
too much and that one of
those former partners must
have been her perfect mate.
Particularly when the filmmakers had the misfortune of
starting their story with Faris
stealthily preening so she’ll
look like a cover girl for her
current partner when he
wakes beside her. It might have
looked like an original moment
from director Mark Mylod, a veteran of British TV as well as HBO’s
Entourage,
and
screenwriters
Gabrielle Allan and Jennifer
Crittenden, if it weren’t a bad echo of
an identical — and much more clever
and genuine — sequence in
Bridesmaids.
Based on Karyn Bosnak’s novel 20
Times a Lady, What’s Your Number?
has Faris’ Ally Darling in similar straits
as Wiig in Bridesmaids — newly fired
and fumbling romantically while everyone else seems to cruise effortlessly into
love and marriage.
Ally freaks after reading an article stating
that most women average 10.5 sexual partners in their lives and that those who sleep
with 20 or more men are prone to insecurities and low self-esteem that make them
unlikely to land a husband. She tallies up
her number and realises with horror that
she’s just hit that terrible milestone, so
Ally vows to go without sex while she
H

Chris Evans.
reconnects with past lovers, figuring she threw
back at least one fish she should have kept on
the line.
It’s as episodic as it sounds as Ally and her
ally — hunky neighbour Colin (Chris Evans),
who conveniently has a snoop’s background,
growing up in a family of cops — track down
the men in her life one by one. The exchanges
between Ally and her lovers are quick and
mostly humdrum, despite a nice range of
cameo appearances by such actors as
Anthony Mackie, Zachary Quinto, Martin
Freeman, Joel McHale, Chris Pratt and Andy
Samberg.
Faris’ ditzy earnestness salvages some
chuckles from a few of these interactions,
particularly when she lapses
into a series of deteriorating accents trying to
impress an old British
beau.
Ari Graynor manages an easy rapport
with Faris as Ally’s
perfect, soon-to-bemarried sister. But
Blythe Danner is
stuck in phony
overbearing mode
as their mother,
while Ed Begley Jr
pops up as a lame
afterthought as their dad.
Bad as the movie is, it’s a
nice showcase for Evans to
display his comic charms
(and rippling abs as a guy
who goes shirtless an
awful lot) after establishing his superhero cred in
the title role of the summer hit Captain America:
The First Avenger.
From the instant Evans’
Colin appears on screen,
though, it’s insipidly
obvious who Ally’s Mr
Right is, and the movie
doesn’t add up enough
fun moments to make
getting there an interesting trip.
There’s a real missed
opportunity for some
shrewd laughs and even
social insights in Ally’s
conviction that 20
lovers make her an
undesirable slut while
womanizing
Colin,
who’s clearly bedded
far more partners, is
simply living every
guy’s dream.
What’s Your Number?
sticks to the low common
denominators of most
Hollywood romances,
and it ends up a commonplace one for doing
so.
What’s
Your
Number?, a 20th
Century Fox release,
is rated R for sexual
content and language.
Running time: 106
minutes. One and a
half stars out of
four.

Scarlett
Johansson says
privacy invasion
is unjust, wrong
REUTERS
CTRESS Scarlett Johansson now has
spoken out for the first time since leaked
nude photos of her appeared on several
websites, saying that being a celebrity
does not give others the right to invade
her privacy.
Earlier this month, the Iron Man 2 star joined the
growing list of Hollywood celebrities, including
High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens and
Friends With Benefits star Mila Kunis, who have
had private photos leaked online at the hands of
hackers.
In an interview with CNN, Johansson said
celebrities are no different than anyone else when it
comes to the right of privacy.
“Just because you’re an actor
or make films or whatever
doesn’t mean you’re not entitled to your own personal
privacy ... if that is sieged in
some way, it feels unjust.
It feels wrong,” said
Johansson.
The actress said life
in the spotlight — and
in this case, asserting
herself in instances
where her privacy
has been invaded
— can be a
struggle.
“It’s
an
adjustment,
but I think
there are certain instances
where you give
a lot of yourself and finally
you have to
kind of put
your
foot
down and say,
‘Oh wait, I’m
taking
it
back.’”
W i t h i n
hours of the
p h o t o s
appearing
online
on
September 15,
Johansson’s
lawyer fired off
cease
and
desist letters to
multiple websites. The photos have been
taken down by
most outlets.

LATA MANGESHKAR says she is proud of her younger
brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar in whose name a lifetime
achievement award has been instituted to mark his 75th
year in the industry. “An award has been instituted on my
brother’s name Hridaynath and it is called Hridaynath
Award”. This award will be given to people who have done
commendable job in their respective fields. I am congratulating him and giving all my blessings to Hridaynath that
an award has been named after him. I am very happy for
him,” said Lata.
AFTER playing intense roles in Dhobi Ghat and Dum Maaro Dum,
Prateik is trying his luck in comedy with My Friend Pinto and says
he is quite excited about his first attempt in the genre. “It’s my first
attempt at comedy. I am very excited and I hope, I pull it off. I am
playing Michael Pinto, a sweet and innocent boy who remains a little lost,” Prateik said at an event. The 24-year-old forayed into
Bollywood with Aamir Khan’s Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na and everyone
loved him in it. Last seen in Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan, “My Friend
Pinto” is his first solo lead film. “Both ways there is an advantage. If
I pull it off, it’s a good film, if not then I am making a fool of myself
and people are going to laugh anyway” said Prateik.

Friendship ‘breakups’
films, thinks Zayed khan

release on October 7, features Zayed Khan
along with his business partner, actress
Dia Mirza, and newcomers like Pallavi

Umang Jain and Auritra Ghosh.

T seems Zayed Khan lives by the adage “don’t mix friendship with business”. The actor says he didn’t approach
any big name for his debut production venture Love
Breakups Zindagi because he feels that the days when
stars worked in each other’s films for the sake of friendship are long gone.
However, he is ready to extend an offer to any of his
Bollywood friends when he has a role to suit them.
“I have friends in the industry, but I have to
realise that this is a profession. Most of my life I
made decisions based on relationships. I wore my
heart on my sleeve. But I don’t want to go to a
friend and ask for a favour,” Zayed said in an
interview.
“If I go to anyone, I want to go with a solid
script that makes the person want to do it and
he or she comes on board on his or her own.
That time of doing films with friends is over.
Everyone has realised that it’s no longer the
industry it used to be. This is a serious industry and you need to make some serious decisions,” said the 31-year-old.
Zayed features in Love Breakups Zindagi
along with his business partner, actress Dia
Mirza, and newcomers like Pallavi Sharda,
Satyadeep Misra, Umang Jain and Auritra
Ghosh. The romantic comedy has been
directed by Sahil Sangha and is slated for
release on October 7. The actor, who is
actor-producer Sanjay Khan’s son, stepped
into Bollywood in 2003 with Chura Liyaa
Hai Tumne. Later he went on to be a part of
films like Dus, Shabd, Mission Istanbul,
Yuvvraaj and Blue.
Zayed says his dad wasn’t too keen on letting
him get into production. “My dad is my most
sincere critic. He likes me to be always humble
about most things. Initially when I told him about
my production plans, he thought that it was a big
step too soon. But I feel it’s important to make your
own decisions and make your own mistakes to understand things,” said the actor. Now when the film is
ready for release, he has mixed feelings.
“I’m anxious and I have butterflies in my stomach but the
most important part is that we are ready for it. So this is one
of those occasions when there is less nervousness and more
anxiousness,” he added.

Mahie Gill wants
to try out
masala movies
IANS
MAHIE Gill is looking for an image
makeover — so far she has played
intense roles, but now the actress
wants to try out a typical masala
movie or a comedy. “I want to
explore myself. I want to do a comedy or a masala
film. In this profession, you get to play so many
roles, you get to travel so much, you get to meet different kind of people,” said Mahie.
Although the actress, who forayed into
Bollywood with Dev D, says “she is happy with the
way her career has shaped up but Everything has
been very interesting and exciting, but it has not
been easy though. The kind of work I was expecting
after Dev D and Gulaal, I didn’t get the kind of
work I wanted to do.”
“After Dev D people started portraying me as a
bold actor - whatever offer I got, I didn’t go for it. I
was getting commercial films, but the roles I wanted to do, I was not getting it. Every role wanted me
to be bold,” added Mahie who also features in Pan
Singh Tomar.
She will next be seen in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s
Sahib Biwi Gangster, which also stars Jimmy
Shergill and Randeep Hooda.
