COURTING CONTROVERSIES IN BOLLYWOOD '10

Hi Friends....

How have you been? Trust all's well at your end and you celebrated Christmas and New Year with fervour and enthusiasm and also made some resolutions which you hope to accomplish before another year ushers in! In my last month's blog I had written extensively about the influx of newcomers making their début in Bollywood and more so the need to be cautious and careful when you select your launch pad especially if you happened  to have no backing at all be it star parents,sugar daddies,God pas or any distant relatives in the Hindi film industry.

I had also addressed some key parameters one could consider when making your début, how to keep yourself afloat by way of having the right PR person and an agent to get you the right roles.I had also nominated some promising débuts over the last two decades and asked you to vote on it ....but sadly the response has been far from encouraging with just two people choosing to vote...(that' s exactly the state of our country when youngsters fail to exercise their right and with all might have the gumption to talk about the sorry state of affairs in our country!) Nevertheless, those two votes are definitely counted and I will compile this list when I get at least 10 votes (of course sky is the limit). So wait on and wake up from the slumber! 

Till that happens,let's discuss 5 controversies that shrouded Bollywood in 2010. So lets begin....

CANDID TALK WITH KAUSHIK GHOSH

Hello Everybody,
How have you been? Trust all's well with you by the grace of God.

Today, like always I have something different for you. In this month's posting I have a man who is a celebrity in his own right....after all who is a celebrity not merely those who are seen on the big or small screen but even those who work behind it too....and those I'd call are the "unseen heroes"....after all they set the ball rolling! And their contribution cannot be rejected outrightly...they could be your lightman, spot boys,art directors,camerapersons, directors and choreographers too!! You definitely can't do without them. And today I've done precisely just that by interviewing one such celebrity fashion choreographer who hit the fashion marquee in the year when Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai brought home the crown....and this heralded a new beginning of the fashion era. Must call it the right timing...when a fashion choreographer was a distant terminology on the fashion scene in India than it is today, but Kaushik Ghosh dared to think different when he chose an unconventional career path back in the early 1990's.
