बलमा गीत मेरे लिए जैकपॉट लगने जैसा है- श्रीराम चन्द्र

आकर्षक व्यक्तित्व, मधुर आवाज़ और बुद्धिमान होना यह तीनो खूबियाँ एक इंसान में हो तो फिर क्या कहने ? ऐसा ही कुछ अद्भुत संयोजन हैं इन्डियन आयडल 5 फेम गायक श्रीराम चन्द्र में। जो उन्हें दूसरों से अलग बनाता है। दक्षिण के इस स्टार ने 8 वर्ष की आयु से ही परफोर्म करना शुरू कर दिया था अब तक 80 से अधिक स्टेज शो कर चुके श्रीराम ने बी टेक की पढ़ाई की है, इंडियन आयडल विजेता बनने के बाद उनका पहला एलबम 'रहनुमा' रिलीज़ हुआ था| इसके अलावा उन्होंने फिल्म 'मेरे ब्रदर की दुल्हन'में इस्क-रिस्क और मधुबाला आदि रीमिक्स गीतों को भी गाया है। अभी वो चर्चित हैं क्योंकि उनका गाया आयटम नंबर 'बलमा' आज सुपर हिट हो रहा है। उनसे बातचीत हुई उनके इसी गीत को लेकर प्रस्तुत हैं कुछ मुख्य अंश ------
'बलमा' गीत ने जिस तरह लोकप्रियता हासिल की है क्या आपको लगा था कि यह इतना हिट होगा जब आपने इसे गाया था?
जब मैंने इसे गाया था तो लगा था की कुछ हिट तो होगा लेकिन इतना पसंद आएगा श्रोताओं को यह नही पता था| इस गीत के लिए मैं हिमेश जी और अपने प्रशंसकों को धन्यवाद देता हूँ।
कैसे मौका मिला यह गीत गाने का ?
यह भी इतेफ़ाक की बात है एक शो के दौरान हिमेश जी से मेरी मुलाक़ात हुई उन्होंने मेरी गायकी को सराहा और कहा की तुम मेरी फिल्म में गाओगे।
कैसा रहा हिमेश , श्रेया के साथ काम करना और खिलाड़ी कुमार के लिए अपनी आवाज़ देना? बहुत ही यादगार रहा यह अनुभव मेरे लिए , खिलाड़ी कुमार के लिए गाना क्या कहूं वास्तव में बहुत ही खुश नसीब हूँ मैं। कह सकता हूँ अक्षय, हिमेश जी और श्रेया तीनो के साथ काम करना मतलब मेरे लिए जैकपॉट से कम नही है।
हमने सुना है आप अभिनय में भी दिलचस्पी रखते हैं? हाँ, आपने सही सुना है मुझे अभिनय में भी दिलचस्पी है एक शो में परफोर्मेंस के दौरान कुछ फिल्म निर्माताओं को मेरा परफोर्मेंस पसंद आया और उन्होंने मुझसे संपर्क किया और स्क्रिप्ट सुनने के बाद मैंने हाँ कर दी| अभी मैं 2 तेलुगू फिल्म कर रहा हूँ।
तो क्या हम जल्दी ही आपको किसी हिंदी फिल्म में भी देखेगें? हाँ, क्यों नही जरुर हो सकता है हिंदी फिल्मों में गाने से पहले मैं दक्षिण की भाषाओँ में गीत गा रहा था उसी तरह अभी मैं उधर की फिल्मों में अभिनय कर रहा हूँ तो हो सकता मुझे हिंदी फिल्मों में भी अभिनय करने का मौका मिल जाए जल्दी ही।
आप किस अभिनेता के लिए गीतों को गाना चाहेगें? मैं इमरान और अक्षय कुमार के लिए तो गा चुका हूँ अब बिग बी और किंग खान के लिए गीत गाने की तमन्ना रखता हूँ।

Erotica icon Sherlyn Chopra advocates safe sex on World AIDS Day

India’s only erotica icon Sherlyn Chopra rocked radio listeners across seven cities of the country with her sex gyan on World’s AIDS Day this week. Speaking exclusively to OYE 104.8 FM she advocated safe sex for the nation, saying “the world needs to mature, even as it grows wild.”
In a two-hour-long exclusive programme with renowned RJ Alok, the sex kitten used intellectual anecdotes and heart-warming shayeris to convey her noble message with her characteristic wicked wit to radio listeners across Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Amritsar, Jodhpur, Patiala and Shimla.
“The youth connects with Brand Sherlyn like nobody’s business, which is more than evident from her hardcore 1,29,734 followers on Twitter,” quipped her publicist Dale Bhagwagar. “So when Sherlyn Chopra advocates safe sex, teens understand that she means every word of it,” he added.
For the record, apart from being the cynosure of countless eyes, Sherlyn is all set to become the first Indian to be featured on the cover of the world-famous American men’s magazine Playboy. Come 2013, and the gritty girl will also be starring as the female lead in Rupesh Paul’s international film Kamasurtra 3D.

Piping hot Evelyn Sharma steals the show at IRFW in Goa!

Bollywood newbie Evelyn Sharma is fast turning into Indian fashion's favourite muse! After walking the ramp for the who's who of the designer world, Evelyn opened the show for ace designer Rocky S with a bang at the India Resort Fashion Week (IRFW) on Candolim Beach in Goa this week.
Grapevine has it that a steaming Miss Paraguay 2012, Nicole Huber, was originally supposed to open the show, but Rocky S changed his mind last minute, when he saw the ravishing Evelyn walk into the event and asked her to open it instead.

Ali Zafar on a roll

After the stupendous success of his debut film, followed by Yash Raj’s Meri Brother Ki Dulhan, Ali Zafar is back with a bang, with a kitty of films that best suits his sensibilities ,starting with the remake of the 1981 cult - classic Chashme Baddoor directed by David Dhawan.
The actor having recently watched the final edit of the film, is mighty pleased with the way its shaped up.Says Ali “ When I saw the original Chashme baddoor, I had thought that the plot must not loose its organic and authentic nature and it must be a challenge to render it into modern times and aesthetics which David sir has done brilliantly. It’s highly entertaining remaining in the family movie viewing space. I think we are all very excited about it.”
Ali Zafar has also been signed on for Neeraj Pandey’s ambitious next, tentatively titled “Aman Ki Asha”, which is scheduled to go on floors March next year.
If that wasn’t all,the actor also has producers queuing up to sign him , given his versatility and the certain exclusivity he has managed to maintain as an artist.
Next on the Ali’s plate is a film with a director renowned for his luck at the box office, announcement of which will soon be around the corner. Followed by 3 films in the pipeline, details of which are tightly being kept under wraps.
Commenting on the caution with which he approaches his films says Ali “ I don’t want to go on a signing spree just for the heck of it. Its my firm opinion that if you believe in the project ,you will do justice to it. I also don’t want to miss out on the quality time with my family and i can't let music which is my passion take a back seat so i have been writing songs and working on my next album in my studio. Having said that I have come across a few directors whose work I love and their scripts too, so I think you will see me a lot more now."
