Geeta Basra: I am not getting married in September

She was last seen on the big screen in THE TRAIN (2007). Although waiting for some ''quality'' offers to come her way, an alleged affair with cricketer Harbajan Singh has constantly kept her in the limelight.
Rumour has it that the two stars have decided to tie the knot in September this year. But the actress is clearly not amused. 'It's ridiculous to have to clarify such reports endlessly. Just because the journalists have the pen doesn't mean they can write anything. Let me clarify, I am not getting married in September,' says Geeta.
Supposedly, the marriage was to flag off in Yorkshire, England which happens to be Geeta's home town and wind up somewhere in Punjab which is Harbhajan's hometown. 'People should realize that such reports could be hurtful. Once such stories come out, I have to answer and clarify things with my family and producers. It's not easy to make your way into the industry, and marriage talk can affect it. Forget getting married, I apparently have already had a 'roka' and a breakup with Harbhajan according to the media,' says the fuming actress.
When asked about the equation she shares with Bhajji, she says, 'Harbhajan is a very special friend. Whenever my marriage is on the cards, everyone will know. Right now I am only concentrating on my work.'
On the professional front, Geeta will be seen shaking her leg in the item number, 'Mein Ghaziabad Ki Rani Hoon' from ZILLA GHAZIABAD. She has also been signed on for two movies with filmmaker Nitin Manmohan.
'The deal is on, I am doing three films with him and currently we are only working on two,' says Geeta on a parting note.

Ranvir, Konkona heading towards spiltville

Another ideal couple of Bollywood is going through rough patch. According to an insider, all is not well in Ranvir Shorey and Konkana Sharma’s paradise. Their two years old married life hit the rough patch. The speculation of their differences came into forefront when Ranvir and Konkana arrived separately during the premiere of Arjun Kapoor starrer ‘Ishaqzaade’ and sat seven rows away from one another.
 Ranvir Shorey and Konkona Sen Sharma not only arrived separately but also sat at a distance from one another. The show ended at 11 pm, but Ranvir and Konkana left separately in their individual vehicles. During the intermission, the duo did not even speak to one another. They behaved as if they were strangers. Their indifference raised several eyebrows. An eyewitness said, “The most shocking part was that both of them did not even look at each other during the entire screening and the time they were at the same venue”. When asked Konkana just avoided the question but Ranvir said, “We are a couple, not conjoined twins. We cannot possible come and go anywhere together. Besides it is none of your business”.
 The duo got married in 2010 in a private ceremony after dating for many years. Ranvir and Konkana were blessed with a baby boy in 2011.

‘Yeh Khula Aasmaan’: Movie Review (2012)

Movie Review (2012)
 Film: “Yeh Khula Aasmaan”
Cast: Raghuvir Yadav, Raj Tandon, Anya Anand, Yashpal Sharma and Manjusha Godse
Director: Gitanjali Sinha
Rating:  3/5

It was that great poet-thinker Harindranath Chattopadhyay who said: “It’s very simple to be difficult, but very difficult to be simple.” By that logic, debutant director Gitanjali Sinha has pulled off a reasonably admirable feat in this simple staright-from-the-heart film about the relationship between a neglected boy Avinash (Raj Tandon) and his lonely grandfather.
The film vaguely echoes L.V. Prasad’s 1974 tearjerker “Bidaai”, though not in any overt way.
That the grandfather who embraces the boy’s loneliness and insecurities is played by Raghuvir Yadav is a happy coincidence, and one that fills up the rather austere spaces in the film’s narrative.
The small-town ambience in Bihar, the old sprawling houses with acres of greenery stretching out from here to eternity, furnish the film with a burnished exterior.
As for the interiors, don’t look too deep. Sinha seems content skimming the surface of the emotions gliding along gently as the boy finds a new beginning in his grandfather’s company.
Dramatic conflicts are created through some villainous elements creeping in with embarrassing inopportunity into the placid ambience. The build-up towards a kite-flying contest is negotiated with disarming naivette.
“Yeh Khula Aasmaan” is an old-fashioned simple and transparent tale told with a straightforwardness that challenges current filmmaking trends of irrelevant complexities.
The narration is kept simple and largely formulistic. A romance between the gawky hero and the-girl-next-door (Anya Anand) is teased into the tale. The real hero of the film, besides the small-town ambience, is Raghuvir. He is in his elements, even pitching in with a folk song somewhere down the line while the youngsters at the helm serve their purpose.
Yashpal Sharma as Avinash’s sophisticated tycoon-father is completely miscast.
“Yeh Khula Aasmaan” is a well-intended heartwarming film. More mellow than melodrama, it revels in postures of pristine idyllism associated with non-metropolitan life.
There are no heart-stopping moments of high and low. The drama, when it ensues, is brought on with disarming simplicity. That the heart is in the right place is undeniable.
