AARTHI AGARWAL was one of the TOP actresses of Telugu Cinema up until recently. Succumbing to her personal problems, she lost her position as a leading actress and has been out of action for quite some time now. She is a GUJARATI girl who had been living in USA prior to her entry into the filmdom. The media has always been tormenting and often made a huge spectacle of her personal life. I personally feel, what ever happened in her personal life is and should be her PRIVATE ZONE. She will tell something to her fans if she is obligated to and if she wanted to. She should be given some breathing space so as to live her personal life.

When a celebrity does something wrong that should not have been done being role models to many of their fans, then the media could be right in exposing their wrong doings. But when it is just a matter of love, marriage and relationships, then it is something that could be kept as her own private affair. There is nothing wrong in covering the whole event of her marriage. But it is beyond crushing HUMAN VALUES when a reporter starts questioning her past life even before leaving the her marriage venue.

Well, AARTHI AGARWAL married UJWAL KUMAR at ARYA SAMAJ in Rani Gunj of Hyderabad in the presence of her immediate family. UJWAL KUMAR, a native of JHARKHAND, is said to be an employee of MORGAN STANLEY in USA. No one from the film fraternity were informed or invited to the wedding. But that is her very personal issue. So, it would not be appropriate for any media to make an issue out of nothing. Especially some overzealous TV channels have taken the MORALITY levels abysmally low that in general the morality and generally acceptable PRIVACY levels are coming down among the PUBLIC too. And that is a very sad thing to happen.

I sincerely wish a lot of HAPPINESS and LUCK in AARTHI AGARWALs life.

PADMA SHRI Dr. M MOHAN BABU is a Legendary Actor of Telugu Cinema. No matter how much fuss and denial of that over cheap Cine-Politics, there can be no denial in the truth in the fact that he is 509 films old. He has even Produced 48 films. And he is one of the most HIGHLY VERSATILE ACTORS OF ALL-TIME, especially that is of much significance when every cheap star is being labeled as VERSATILE by the cheap media (If only they knew what versatility means…).

So when he completed 32 years in the film industry on November 22nd, Demi-God of Tamil Cinema RAJNI KANTH himself came all the way from Chennai and met his beloved friend Mohan Babu. They met on shooting location of Sree Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures latest film, starring VISHNU in the direction of P VASU at Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Rajni Kanth greeted Mohan Babu, who informed the latter about the film’s development. Rajnikanth also interacted with the members of film unit, who expressed their joy that their meeting is a perfect example of true friendship for over three decades. He also blessed Vishnu on this occasion.

Mohan Babu made his debut with SWARGAM NARAKAM on November 22nd, 1975. Since then he has just risen through a plethora of characters ranging from Villain to Comedian to a Hero. His recent film is YAMADONGA. I can just wish that Legendary Actors like MOHAN BABU and CHIRANJEEVI make more MEANINGFUL and ENTERTAINING movies keeping their age in mind and abstaining from cheap CINE-POLITICS.

SNEHA sizzled in a RED creation of popular designer Sidney S. Sladen. She walked the ramp for a fashion show on 27th in chennai.The designer presented his Diwali special collection called “I Love New York”, inspired by Sidney’s recent stay in the Big Apple. It can be recalled that Sidney has designed the dresses for RAJNI KANTH in CHANDRAMUKHI. Sladen, incidentally, embarked on a career in design from the young age of 13 and has made a mark in South India for his couture that spells chic.

WEDDING BELLS rang on Sunday, 21st, October, 2007 when Popular Actress BHUMIKA CHAWLA and Yoga Guru BHARAT THAKUR were married in a close ceremony attended by family members, close relatives and friends of both the families… The wedding took place in GURU NANAK DEV GURUDWARA at DEVLALI near NASIK.

The THAKUR family is a native of DEVLALI CAMP. BHUMIKA CHAWLA was born in DELHI and completed her Schooling in Delhi itself. She moved to Mumbai in 1997 and started her career with AD Films and Hindi Music Videos. She made her Film debut with YUVAKUDU in Telugu opposite Sumanth which was released in 2000. Her Telugu Films KHUSHI, OKKADU, SIMHADRI and MISSAMMA were big hits. She acted in 11 Telugu Films, 3 Tamil Films and also a few Hindi films. She shot to fame in Bollywood with TERE NAAM. She also acted in critically acclaimed GANDHI, MY FATHER.

URVASHI is a well known actress in South India. She debuted in Tamil and subsequently moved to Malayalam film industry. She even acted in some Telugu flicks. She is better remembered in Telugu as the heroine of Chiranjeevi starer RUSTHUM. During her stint at Malayalam… she fell in love with Manoj K Jayan. They even acted together in a few films in turn bringing them closer emotionally. Subsequently, with the consent of both families, Urvashi and Manoj got married in 2000. Manoj is acting in Malayalam as well as Tamil films. If you can’t remember… he acted as the villain in POGARU.

As with many actresses, Urvashi started giving her career due attention after the birth of her child… But some differences in opinion cropped up and they separated. They have a daughter and according to her wish, she stays with her father. Despite a lot of efforts by friends and colleagues, they were unable to reconcile their differences and decided to split formally…

Dr. Allu Ramalingaiah, father-in-law of one of the leading Telugu movie stars Chiranjeevi, was a yesteryear comedian. As a tribute to him, an award had been instituted namely “Allu Ramalingaiah’s Memorial Award.” This award is given to a talented comedian every year. “Hero Rajendra Prasad has been awarded with the prestigious award for this year” said Allu Ramalingaiah Kalapeetham president Sarepalli Kondalarao. Governor of Andhra Pradesh, Actor Chiranjeevi, Minister Mandali Buddha Prasad and Others will be present at the award ceremony on 1st October, 2007.

So, what is wrong with that? Do I have any problem? yeah! I do… My problem is that whenever an award is constituted in any industry, it is of utmost importance to first recognize the talent at home and then if our home is an empty vessel… then, one should go in search for talent outside… I regard and know that Actor Rajendra Prasad is one of the most versatile actors that Telugu film industry has ever produced. But as usual, our learned Jury members of every award committee recognizes him not as a first thought but as an after thought. And this time it is after an outsider Johny Lever (I know that he is a Telugu person from Ongole, but he is not from Telugu film industry…) has already been awarded with Allu Ramalingaiah Memorial Award last year… Legendary actor Rajendra Prasad has never been given his due for his true service to “Kalamathalli”… Now-a-days every undeserving actor talks of Kalamathalli… never knowing who she really is… So I decided to write a short Biography on Rajendra Prasad as my bit in giving him his rightful due… —KALCHA

AKSHARA… Yeah! That is the new name that former Rekha would like to be called as in the future… If you forgot her in the first place… let me remind you that she was the heroine of yesteryear hit Anandam. And since then she never had any Anandam at the box-office and in Tollywood. Well, quite ambitiously, she tried to squeeze through Bollywood gates but never made it inside… So she is back with a new name (for change of luck) and her Freaky Frankenstein Eyes…

Usually in the movies, the Cameraman and Editor does a great job in hiding every star’s real personality in every way and project what ever they feel is presentable. But off-screen it is very hard to hide their real personality which is quite often caught by any camera (nowadays, mobile does a great job… isn’t it?). You don’t agree with me??? Let me have the pleasure of proving you wrong…

Doesn’t this Photograph remind you of Kallu Chidambaram? I know Kallu Chidambaram has much more freaky eyes… But to be a glamorous heroine these eyes are still freaky enough… —KALCHA

Well, you might ask isn’t she beautiful at all…? The answer is yes, she is beautiful in the picture below… —KALCHA

Rama Naidu’s grandson RANA is being speculated as the inevitable vaarasudu for not just his grandpa’s bank balance but also to his Tollywood empire… And if you are thinking about the studios and the like you are mistaken… for Mr.RANA is being touted as a WOULD-BE actor… So keeping with the trend, he is sporting a new look with a hair band to develop a new hair style. He has just returned from USA where he is said to have underwent training to become an actor.

Tollywood audiences are sick and tired of these VAARASUDUs… After Dasari Narayanarao’s son Arun Kumar, Raghavendra Rao’s son Prakash Rao, Brahmanandam’s son Gautham, M.S. Narayana’s son Vikram, Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan Tej… even the worst of the worst actors like Puri Jagannath’s brother Sairam Shankar is being forced upon the gullible Tollywood audience… No one feels dejected if they perform well… but in general they tend to be only worst… Look at the plight of Telugu audience at the mercy of these so called stars… Please somebody help and bless us movie lovers with better actors and not these Vaarasudu batch. —KALCHA

BALA KRISHNA is all set to embark on a new journey after failing to entice the TOLLYWOOD audience with his romance with multiple heroines in a feeble attempt to live up to his name. He has tasted bitterness in recent times with all of his films after NARASIMHA NAIDU (Veera Bhadra, Allari Pidugu, Vijayendra Varma, Maharathi Etc.,) bombing and falling on the sidelines like a pack of cards… He is proving to be a huge risk for the producers. So he seems to get some of his common sense back and is embarking on a new journey to entertain us with a mythological film. “I am ready to play suitable mythological roles. My father’s acting in PANDURANGA MAHATYAM had left an indelible impression on me. I have always looked forward to playing a similar role some day. I think it’s the right time to play such roles,” says Bala Krishna. He is currently working on a mythological film tentatively titled RANGA PANDU RANGA reportedly being directed by Raghavendra Rao.

ANUSHKA is a heroine who never got her due though she delivered some of the few successful films that TOLLYWOOD is delivering itself. But times are changing… As top heroines like NAYANATARA are hiking their remuneration, Anushka is getting busy as producers feel she is a glamorous heroine with talent that can be nurtured. She currently has three films in her kitty, and the buzz in tinsel town is that she is going to be signed for DASARATH’s next film with JAGAPATHI BABU in lead. I wish that ANUSHKA would grab this golden opportunity and deliver commendable performances which would make her one among the top heroines…
