The Indian Artistes and Actors Forum (IAAF) has got support from various quarters including names like Member of Parliament Dr Nilesh Rane, fire-brand Dj Jenny D, drama queen Rakhi Sawant and many other bollywood producers and directors for its anti-Veena Malik and anti-Sunny Leone stance.
Member of Parliament and General Secretary of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee, Dr Nilesh Rane said, “There are a lot of talented, bold and even controversial Indian artistes who are struggling to make ends meet. I think they should be given a fair chance. I am speaking in my personal capacity and this is my personal view not party view. However, if there is any sort of agitation by the IAAF, I will give them my full support and stand by them.” Rane who is the elder son of Maharashtra Industries minister Narayan Rane came out very strongly against the policy of Tv channels of paying such astronomical sums to persons who probably didn’t deserve the money. “We have so many poor, struggling yet talented actors, singers and artistes. What are the Tv channels doing to promote and support them,” he asked?
Says Rakhi Sawant, “They (the channel and the production house SOL) could have selected any other woman from India. There are so many controversial or bold and outspoken girls like Sambhavna Seth, Kashmira Shah, Dj Jenny D, Poonam Pandey to name a few. Imagine should have chosen them. There are thousands of girls in India who are trying to get roles in films and Tv. Why have they selected a “sattebaaz” who has ruined the name of her own country? Once was probably ok, but now they are doing it again and again. I strongly condemn this move and join the protest.”
Flynn Remedios, publicist and spokesperson for the IAAF said that the IAAF – an informal body of actors and artistes is not against one individual in particular. “We are not against Veena Malik per se. We are against this trend of selecting foreign artistes for common roles in Indian television and films. When certain politicians raised their voice about this, we gave them the cold shoulder, but now the time has come for every Indian artiste to get up and take a stand. Thousands of Indian girls go through hell trying to get a bit role in a TV serial or a film. These production houses and channels must understand the sentiments and feelings of thousands of Indian artistes. Veena Malik is no great or unique actor or artiste. Sunny Leone is a porn star. What USP do Veena Malik and Sunny Leone bring to such shows? Are we trying to send out a message to our youth that being a porn star is a commendable thing?
The channels are trying to stir up controversy and increase their own TRPs. We will ask all patriotic Indians and Indian companies to stop watching or supporting such shows This is our action plan for now. We will also approach the courts at a later date if the channels do not relent.”
The IAAF has launched a protest on their Facebook page facebook.com/Indian.Artistes.Forum and is in the process of enlisting support online.
Canadian porn star of Indian origin Sunny Leone has confirmed to http://www.mumbaiwire.in that she is indeed travelling to Mumbai. While she did not specifically say that she was coming to Mumbai for Bigg Boss 5, her clarification lends credibility to reports circulating in the media that Sunny Leone will be part of Bigg Boss 5. A source from the channel colors told http://www.mumbaiwire.in that Sunny Leone was being paid Rs 3 crore (all inclusive) to make a guest appearance in the Bigg Boss house. Channel authorities were unavailable for comment and the Corp Comm department of Colors did not reply to our messages asking for a clarification.
According to the Times of India report, “Sunny Leone, who was named Penthouse Pet of the Year in 2003 and was under a contract for Vivid Entertainment, has been roped in to be the international celebrity on the reality TV show.
If Bigg Boss 5 was not a controversial magnet already, the reality TV show is about to garner far more eyeballs. The same show which got all the men’s jaws dropping when Pamela Anderson entered the house will now reportedly open its doors to adult film star, Sunny Leone. A source informed Mumbai Mirror that the actress will be welcomed into the Bigg Boss 5 house this weekend.
According to the source, there were rumours that Mike Tyson would be the international celebrity invited to the Indian version of Bigg Boss season 5. However, the Indian-Canadian adult film actress, Sunny Leone, whose real name is Karen Malhotra, has finally been selected.
The source explained, “There are two single men – Akshdeep Saigal and Siddarth and one married man – Amar Upadhyay, who are currently in the house. Sunny’s entry into the house will definitely help to generate some drama and excitement for viewers.”
The source informed us that Sunny was named Penthouse Pet of the Year in 2003 and was under a contract for Vivid Entertainment. She was also named one of the top 12 X-rated actresses in 2010. “She is one of the most talked about adult film actresses, who began her career with mainly homosexual roles before she started doing roles opposite men in 2008. Incidentally, there were also rumours that Mohit Suri had offered her a role in his film Kalyug. Apart from many adult films, Sunny has done quite a few mainstream films as well. Sunny will be arriving into the country tonight,” added the source.
“IT’S NOT CRICKET” AND “WINNERS AND LOSERS” – REALITY SHOWS FOR THE COMMON MAN
Mumbai-based Twilight Media has announced two new Reality Shows tentatively titled “It’s Not Cricket” and “Winners and Losers. While much information was not available and Twilight Media refused to officially comment on these projects, it seems that the shows are targeted at the common man. When we contacted Twilight Media, a spokesperson said that the concept and format of the shows is being finalised and the shows are likely to be officially announced very soon. “We will make an official announcement very soon, so please wait till the press release is out,” was the only official comment we got from them. The shows will be in English and Hindi.
However, a source said that the shows are targeted at the common man. “Most reality shows in India, including Bigg Boss, Zor Ka Jhatka, Rakhi ka Swayamvar, Khatron Ka Khiladi, etc have featured a similar set of artistes or actors or participants and research shows that most people in India are fed up of watching the same set of characters on the different shows. For the last three years, the same set of 10-15 participants have been doing the rounds of most reality shows. The common man is rarely involved or invited to participate. Since most reality shows are big budget productions, the production houses producing them are under great pressure to generate TRPs and hence resort to using the same ‘old characters’ over and over again.
“Winners & Losers” and “It’s Just Not Cricket” will feature a completely new set of participants, barring a few, according to a source. The casting agency appointed for the recruitment of participants has begun sending out casting calls for these shows and the target is the common man, housewives, students and of course Bollywood models, celebs and actors. Politicians will not be part of the shows, but advocates and doctors are likely to be on board. It is not clear as to who would host these shows and Twilight Media said they were looking for the right person. The shows will be centred around the Indian infatuation for the sport of cricket, it is learnt.
Expect a lot of masala and masti though, they said!!!

Actress had featured in soft porn movies according to information
published earlier in Pakistan
After our first expose of the shocking Veena Malik photos, a popular bulletin board service has posted “NEW” photos of Veena Malik, claiming the photos to be those of the Pakistani actress. We are not sure if the photos are those of Veena Malik. We have tried every possible way to contact Veena Malik for her feedback, but have been unable to reach her or she doesn’t revert back to us. We are re-producing the photographs here with a clear disclaimer. We do not know if the photos below are of the Pakistani actress Veena Malik of Bigg Boss, Season 4. We are neither the creators or publishers of these photos. We have merely reproduced for our readers photographs and alleged claims which have appeared in the public domain for some time now. It’s for our readers and viewers to guess.

We have a little confession to make. Of all the actresses in Bollyland, we think Neetu Chandra is the hottest, sexiest and the best. No matter what her critics may say or what the box office may dish out, we think Neetu Chandra is one girl with gumption and guts and an extremely sexy body to match. Neetu Chandra is every thinking man’s dream. She is the ONE who makes most men (and we mean REAL MEN) get the goose bumps. Neetu Chandra is one woman who makes REAL MEN hot under the collar and cold every where else.
We heard that Neetu Chandra had a wardrobe malfunction. We didn’t bother to check with her. To tell you the truth, she is pissed with us for a little incident that happened five years ago and doesn’t take our calls any more. But we wanna say, we Love you Neetu and will always wish you well. Our prayers are always with you. God Bless.
Now coming back to the wardrobe malfunction, like we said we didn’t bother to check with her as like we told you the gorgeous Neetu is still pissed with us and doesn’t take our calls. But we found these photos on the internet. They are all over the place and we thought, Hell why not, lets bring it to the notice of our 10,000 plus viewers who come to this website everyday. (for those who don’t believe us, please check the Official WordPress Counter).
Now we are not the originators or publishers or creators or photographers of these photos.

Along with the no panty wardrobe malfunction pics, we also bring you some of the hottest, best pics of Neetu Chandra available online. Please note, all copyrights are hereby acknowledged.

This Cricket World Cup, Pepsi becomes the official sponsor of…
The Doosra | The Switch Hit | The Helicopter | The Dilscoop | The Upper CutLaunches ‘CHANGE THE GAME’ campaign to celebrate the revolutionary new face of cricket and the youth…
New Delhi, January 13, 2011: Cricket has changed, cricket fans have changed and the way they watch cricket has changed… This ICC Cricket World Cup, Pepsi celebrates the new unorthodox yet immensely popular face of modern cricket with its high decibel and path-breaking campaign – ‘CHANGE THE GAME’. Through the metaphor of cricket it also salutes the Youngistaanis who within themselves have found the power to defy tradition, and pave their own way by not breaking the rules but by changing them.
Change the Game is not a notion but reality that is reflected in the way cricket is played, watched and enjoyed world-over and in India today. With this innovative campaign, Pepsi has become the official sponsor of everything that is unorthodox about the sport; whether it is Virender Sehwag’s Upper Cut, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Helicopter shot, Harbhajan Singh’s Doosra, Tillakaratne Dilshan’s Dilscoop, Kevin Pietersen’s Switch Hit or Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina’s aggressive on-field spirit.
Deepika Warrier, Marketing Director, PepsiCo Beverages, India said, “Pepsi has always been closely associated with youth platforms such as cricket; and ICC Cricket World Cup is the single biggest event that unifies millions of passionate Youngistaanis. Our Change the Game campaign celebrates the same passion and the new age mantra of cricket, which is irreverent, unorthodox, fun, challenging and unmistakably Pepsi”.
“PepsiCo is one of the global sponsors of the ICC Cricket World Cup and we have created an exciting, engaging and innovative package for brand Pepsi to leverage this mega event. We are confident that the unique campaign thought of Change the Game will appeal to the youth and inspire them to be the game changers in their own lives”, she added.
Featuring some of the cricketing world’s biggest superstars, the campaign includes a series of ad films that will showcase out-of-the-box moves that are not text-book and yet help achieve the ultimate goal. Irreverent and youthful in spirit, these films promise to bring alive the passion Youngistaanis share for the game, both on and off the field. The first film as part of the campaign revolves around Indian team skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s famous game changing move – the Helicopter Shot.
“Change the Game is a big idea in the context of the game of cricket. With this campaign we will inspire the youth to ‘change the game’, be innovative, take risks, and do things differently even if it has not been done before. We are the official sponsors of the ICC World Cup, but with this campaign we also want to be the official sponsors of everything that is unorthodox, exciting, innovative about the game of cricket”, said, Sandeep Singh Arora, Executive Vice President – Marketing, Cola, PepsiCo India.
Speaking about ‘Change the Game’, Indian Cricket Team Captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni said, “Change the Game for me is not about what you achieve, but how you achieve it. It is about the confidence to take risks and the courage to take the road less traveled. On field, it is about playing innovative shots or making game changing decisions at critical junctures of the play. Pepsi’s Change the Game campaign captures this thought in an exciting and innovative manner and I am sure Youngistaanis will strongly identify with it”.
Supporting the on-air initiatives is the eye-catching off-air campaign with cricketers in a never-seen-before painted body look. The new body painted look is youthful, fresh and symbolic of the individual player’s passion for the game. Covered only with a layer of colourful body paint, the cricketers’ images reflect their energetic and unique persona on the field. Each design and choice of colour palette has a story behind it which mirrors the athlete’s character.
“Pepsi has always been the fearless voice of uninhibited youth. A belief that needed to be interpreted even as the official partner of the event. Only Pepsi could turn this official status on its head by standing up for the brave new, unorthodox face of the modern game. The unplugged, organic face of contemporary cricket that is a reflective of everything that the youth of today live by. That it’s not the textbook that matters but the result at the end of the day. Because the game can always change”, commented, Agnello Dias, Creative Director, Taproot India.
Director of the TVCs, Prasoon Pandey of Corcoise Films said, “Change The Game is a powerful concept and we have tried to bring alive the same passion and excitement in the films as we would see during the World Cup. The idea was to communicate Pepsi’s celebration of cricketers’ innovative signature moves on the field in a never-seen-before manner. For instance, the first film presents an irreverent back story about Dhoni’s famous Helicopter shot to the thrill of him actually using it during the match.”
The campaign is being launched across various mediums and channels to ensure complete 3D activation across all verticals. It will be supported by a 360-degree approach including thematic ATL and outdoor, consumer engagement programmes, special edition packaging, in-stadia amplification and digital engagement programmes.

Pakistani actress and Bigg Boss, Season 4 participant Veena Malik has been approached by a particular television GEC for a show similar to Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, say our sources. We are not telling you the name of the channel, but it’s anybody’s guess. Or is it? Apparently, we were told that Veena Malik was approached by a particular channel for a show similar to Rakhi Ka Swayamvar or Rahul Dulhaniye Le Jayenge which were telecast by Imagine. The show’s format is similar to the Imagine shows, though it has a few twists and turns to ensure that Imagine doesn’t make a fuss about it.
We are not sure what Veena Malik has to say. She did not respond to our attempts to contact her, but a little birdie from the channel told us that Veena Malik may probably be interested in the show. After her popularity in Bigg Boss Season 4, thanks to her stunts with Ashmit Patel and their continuing association or romance together, we also heard that Veena Malik hinted that she would want a huge sum of money, much more than what the channel was willing to pay her.
We have also learnt that several Bollywood, Tamil and even Bhojpuri producers have lined up outside Veena Malik’s door hoping to “cast” her in their projects. The girl is really in demand we must say.
We wonder what the Shiv Sena and Bal Thackeray has to say to this?
