SRK and TWITTER

The stars of Bollywood have been using social media to keep up with their fan following. The Badshaah of Bollywood  SRK is no longer satisfied making blockbuster hits on the silver screen alone. He has now created a new record with more than six million fan followings on Twitter. With this, the ‘Chennai Express’ superstar has outstripped the other leading Khans of Bollywood – Salman and Amir who have around 5 million fan followings on Twitter.
An overwhelmed Khan thanked his many fans for this tremendous following. He tweeted, "Thanx for the 6 mil. Our love goes beyond numbers. Wish you all happiness beyond count & love beyond measure." The superstar has been a prolific user of the social media site since he joined in 2010 and has made 6414 tweets so far. In this, he joins the distinguished group of Karan Johar, Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar and Priyanka Chopra.
While Khan has easily outstripped his nearest competitors, he is still to catch up with the progress made by Amitabh Bachchan. Big B crossed seven million fan following on Twitter. On November 23, when Amitabh’s fan following touched seven million, the star wrote, "OKKKAAAAYY !! so crossed 7 million on Face Book !! Other bigger stars much ahead of me ...Salman, Aamir, Shahrukh ..deserve to also." Now, Shah Rukh is ready to join this rank. King Khan has tried to emulate the superstar with his Kaun banega crorepati and the remake of Don. Though those ventures did not take off well, it remains to be seen how he performs on the social media.
The followers of the star rejoiced as Khan crossed the six million mark by starting three new trends. These are #SRK6Million, #6MillionSRKiansOnTwitter and #6millionssrkians.
An analysis of the social media trends in Bollywood shows that Shahrukh Khan has a huge international following. The 40+ star is still commanding admiration from teenagers while the greatest fan following of Salman and Aamir is from the adults. Rajnikanth is also quite active on both Facebook and Twitter, while, Katrina and Kareena dominate the scene among the actresses. Stars like Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgan, Emran Hashmi, Deepika Padukone and Madhuri Dixit seem to use the social media only to promote their shows and films and talk about their work. SRK however is popular because of his friendly approach and regular interaction with fans.

Shahid to go bald for Haider

The last time Shahid Kapoor

had a hair moment was with Vishal Bharadwaj's 'Kaminey' when his character Charlie's messy long hair becoming a much demanded salon staple across the country. Ironically, his next collaboration with the same director will see him without hair. It's official, Shahid Kapoor is going bald.

According to recent reports,Shahid and Vishal have been debating the drastic transformation for 'Haider', the director's adaptation of 'Hamlet'. Now, Shahid has confirmed to TOI that the duo have decided to go ahead with the bald look.

The 32-year-old's last film 'Phata Phata poster Nickla Hero , met with a tepid response, but when we met him on Tuesday evening, the actor seemed unperturbed, even as he ran his hand through his mane on every cue. It is surprising that Shahid is not worried about losing his thick crop in the coming months. "I knew it five months ago when Vishal started discussing Haider with me. All my hair is going. But it's fine. The role is so good that I don't mind shaving off my head completely."

Ask him if it is necessary to go bald for the film and Shahid, replies: "I cannot tell you the exact reason because that would give away the story. The protagonist in Hamlet may not have been bald. But Haider is an adaptation."

Come December 6, he will have another test at the box office, Eros International's 'R... Rajkumar' directed by Prabhu Deva whose films have not failed at the turnstile. Interestingly, Shahid had only seven days to make the switch from R... Rajkumar, where he plays a singing-dancing goon, to Haider, a dark revenge drama set in Kashmir. "Yes, I was nervous. But I am an actor. And fortunately, I had worked with Vishal Sir in Kaminey and I have read Hamlet. If I had to switch from Haider to R...Rajkumar, it might have been more difficult because I didn't know Prabhu Dheva's world," he says.

He adds, "Prabhu Dheva's style is very different. He doesn't want you to come prepared to the set, whereas Vishal sir wants it otherwise. The two filmmakers are like North and South. It is important to understand the vision of a filmmaker, surround yourself with knowledge and then decide how to go about it."

Though Shahid is one of the finest dancers in Bollywood, Prabhu Dheva's intricate choreography forced him to rehearse for a couple of days. "And I have also done so many stunts for the first time. I did not use body doubles but it wasn't easy. I must give full marks to the film's action director Ravi Verma. My body hurt a lot and a physiotherapist was constantly with me to take care of niggling injuries and sprains."

While Prabhu Dheva is all about spontaneity, Vishal made sure that his lead actor came well prepared for the Shakespearan flick which will release next year, Shakespeare's 450th birth anniversary. "A local actor from Kashmir stands by to correct my dialect. For example, Kashmiris don't say 'ghar', they say 'gar'. We are taking every minute detail into consideration," says Shahid. Till he shaves off his head, he is of course going to remain as possessive about his hair as always. A leading actress (on request of anonymity) had once told this journalist that Shahid runs his hand through his thick crop every five minutes.

"I love my hair, but no problem. I'll get them back again," smiles Shahid. Going back to his bald look, he says, "The shaving will be done in Kashmir. I have three - four looks in Haider. We shall complete the ones which require me with my hair first and then move on to the look which does not. It is going to be fun," he says with an impish smile.

As the interview ends, Shahid once again, languorously runs his hand through his hair.

While Bollwood's lucky mascot makes looking good seem easy, very few know the hard work that the actress put into achieving a celluloid perfect body for the action-entertainer.

  Katrina Kaif took to functional training under the guidance of Reza and even trained in pilates with Yasmin Karachiwala,which involves control, flow and concentration to develop a strong core to perform the kind of stunts the film required for over a year.

  Katrina literally trained for every single day of the year as Reza and Yasmin would work with her at Joggers Park.

If that wasn't all , Katrina also trained in Aerial Straps Work with professionals from London .Aerial Acrobats involve lifting your own body weight with the help of straps.

Says a source, "Katrina Kaif has worked extremely hard on her body for Dhoom 3 and the results are for all to see. Over a year of pilates,functional training and an intense course in Aerial Straps work have challenged her limits in terms of the kind of stunts and action she has performed in the film. While expert acrobats are trained in doing Aerial stunts , Katrina managed to do them and still look flawless because of the kind of work she has put into it."

5 Biggest mistakes Kareena Kapoor has made in her career

Bollywood is one place where opportunities never knocks twice. If not grabbed at the first call, think you’ve lost it. We have heard of actors getting replaced by another because of whatever reasons, and our reigning Bollywood queen Kareena Kapoor is no different.
The actress has recently confessed to have lost on several meaty roles, just because of her one silly mistake – her mood swings.
Deepika Padukon's role in Ram Leela is sure to win her a couple of awards, but did you know, Bhansali had first approached Kareena for Leela’s role?
Kareena says, “I confess that I’m mad. There have been times when I’ve signed a film and then felt it was wrong. Yes, I was supposed to do Ram-Leela but I changed my mind. I decided to do Gori… instead. With me, it’s all about the mood. There are no regrets, I’ve worked with some really good directors. I’ve missed the chance to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. But there’s always a next time. I’m the only actress who can boast of giving films to other actresses.”
Okay, is she feeling insecure because of Deepika’s success, that she actually made such a comment?
Meanwhile, take a look at 5 biggest mistakes Kareena Kapoor has made in her career, so far.
