Mega star Amitabh Bachchan is a victim of multiple hernias in his lower stomach which has ended in swelling of that area and is causing him imense agony whenever he exerts himself.
Doctors have advised him to bear a surgery, but he has been avoiding it due to his tight timetable.Amitabh has undergone three surgeries ever since he met with an accident on the sets of ‘Coolie’ in 1982.
A stomach surgery, indeed 2 in fast succession always have the likelihood of hernia developing. And that is what is of concern now. There are presently 2 vital hernia in the lower abdomen which have swelled up dangerously and cause me problems,
Giant B made public on his blog.
Sharpened pains when I stand for too much time or walk too much. During dance and action scenes there is great discomfort and I counter that with a hernia belt which is non-permanent and not particularly a cure.So the doctors have been after me for a surgery, well 2 essentially on either side of the stomach and I have been avoiding it due to my tight agenda. But I shall have to take care of it now, he wrote.
Then after his 3rd stomach surgery he was diagnosed for diverticulitis. Of that later on say doctors. Because of the several times the stomach has been opened up, there are lacerations, and they on occasions stick and cause problems, posted the 67-year-old who is also asthmatic.
Amitabh announces he has been operated upon so many times that he has developed a slack shoulder muscle now the reason why his left shoulder sags, believed to be a style. He has revealed that due to this his left arm has become longer than the right.
Mani Ratnam’s Raavan has been gaining a lot of publicity. Shot in the dense Chalakudy jungle in Kerala, the shoot was extremely tricky and so Ash, compared it to being on the show, Fear Factor. Most of the time, she was drenched in water and mud. Heavy rains and dense jungle, snakes and leeches all around did not made it even more difficult. Aishwarya plays a classical dance teacher in the film, called Ragini, who is kidnapped by Abhishek and hidden in the forest. South megastar Vikram plays Ash’s hubby.
Abhishek Bachchan
The star of Guru breaks into an impromptu jig to the beats of Tamil chartbuster Appadi Podu, thanks to his vibrating Motorola every two seconds.
And while the ad is inarguably balmy and suggests the phone more of a nuisance than a technological need, Bachchan Jr is seriously droll.
Shah Rukh Khan
If you thought Lux commercials are all about Bollywood’s sultry ladies floating sensually in bubble baths, think again.
Shah Rukh Khan takes the metrosexual man to another level flaunting his bath tub sexiness as the male face of Lux, rose petals and all. King Khan indeed.
New Delhi, Actress Minissha Lamba admits her ultra-glamorous look in Kidnap opened a completely new range of chances for her. But the young actress, who will be seen in Shyam Benegal’s new film, feels that at the end of it talent plays a crucial role.
My looks in ‘Kidnap’ helped open a completely new and different range of chances for me. It is something I respect. Being good looking is important, though not always. You need talent too. If you have talent folk accept you with no regard for the way you look, Lamba told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
She also feels being short isn’t a disadvantage in the film industry.
If you are a model, having height is imperative, but theatre is a medium where it is irrelevant. You are on a platform where being tall or short loses relevance, she announced.
After her glamorous avatar in Kidnap, Minissha will be seen in a non-glamorous role in Benegal’s forthcoming film, Well Done Abba.
At first I was actually scared to work with Mr. Benegal. But when we started shooting, he turned out to be a very calm, jovial and humorous person. We never saw him upset on the sets, she said.
Well Done Abba, a political satire, recounts the story of Armaan Ali ( Boman Irani ), a driver working in Mumbai. He takes a month’s leave to find a man for his teenaged girl, who is living in a small locale near Hyderabad. But he returns to his job after three months. His young employer wants to downsize him, but is persuaded to hear the reason why he got so delayed.
The film, produced by reliance large photos, is impressed by 2 short stories Narsaiyyan Ki Bavdi by Jeelani Bano and Phulwa Ka Pul by Sanjeev.
Benegal had said in an interview that Minissha hasn’t got her due in Bollywood, but the 25-year-old claims she doesn’t have any regrets.
That’s generous of him to have said that, but it’s all right. I hope with this film my talent gets appreciated and I am getting more occasions to show my potential, she claimed.
Minissha started her journey as an actor from the generally acclaimed film, Yahaan, alongside Jimmy Shergill in 2005. She was later seen in corporate, Shaurya, and Yash Raj Films’ Bachna Ae Haseeno.
It has been a great journey. There were displeasures and heartbreak, but I’m grateful for where i am today. There is a lot more I need to do and work even harder, she said.
Releasing March 26, it also stars Samir Dattani, Ila Arun, Ravi Kisshan, Sonali Kulkarni and Yashpal Sharma.

The United Countries code of behavior in Congo prohibits peacekeepers from soliciting prostitutes. Lifting the lid on their actions, the North Kivu Indian brigade has gathered adequate proof to prove the peacekeepers used kids to hire Congolese girls for sex in Masisi, an exhausting five-hour drive from Goma. The UN Organisation Mission in Democratic Republic of Congo ( known by its French acronym MONUC ) is served by 4,554 troops. Hindustan Times has learnt that 5 kids have identified the peacekeepers from one Jammu and Kashmir Rifles after they were shown photos of almost one hundred peacekeepers based in Masisi when claims of sexual misconduct were made last year. We’ve sent our report to the regiment headquarters in New Delhi and advocated an in depth probe in view of new evidence.. The peacekeepers concerned returned home in Apr as a part of half-yearly troop rotation.
Charges against them would be corroborated in India before prosecutions, Rawat said. The 18,931-strong MONUC, the biggest and costliest UN deployment across the world, is the sole mission where troops can be prosecuted for sex with prostitutes. The act falls in the definition of sexual exploitation and abuse. The inquiry conducted by the North Kivu brigade, on the orders of military vice-chief Lieutenant General M.L. Naidu who was here this could, challenges the results of a prior investigation by the United States ‘ Office of Internal Oversight Services in Congo. To the amazement of the Indian military, the strong UN looking into agency had charged almost sixty squaddies with soliciting sex from prostitutes and some 40 troops with employing kid labour early on in the year.
Considering the findings of the armed forces investigation, the rot may not run as deep as the UN agency had made it out. But pre-emptive measures have been implemented to discipline troops. Brigadier Rawat has formed flying squads to snoop on his men garrisoned in and around North Kivu’s capital Goma. Raids are continually conducted at no-go places like clubs, bars and red light areas. The squads include staff drawn from the Bangladesh army police. Troops finishing their reign have been placed under surveillance as pedophilia and exploitation generally takes place in the last 2 months, claimed an officer. There is evidence to prove that posts held by squaddies provide safe haven for these sorts of activities.

The system of Indian classical music known as Raga Sangeet can be traced back almost 2k years to its origin in the Vedic hymns of the Hindu churches.
The music is rendered orally to the disciple by his guru, popularly known as guru-shishya ( teacher-student ) parampara ( practice ). The heart of Indian music is the raga, the melodic form on that the artist improvises his performance. A raga is a scientific, accurate, subtle and classy melodic form with its own rising and descending movement composed of either a full seven-note octave or a sequence of 6 or 5 notes. Each raga is identified by its own particular mood. The recognized order of these 9 sentiments, or feelings, is like this : romantic and erotic, funny, pathetic, fury, brave, fearful, disgust, awe and calm. Each raga, as well as being related to a selected mood, is also closely hooked up to a specific time of day or a season of the year. Therefore thru the wealthy tunes and rhythm of Indian music, each human emotion, each delicate feeling in man and nature, can be musically voiced and experienced. Re aesthetics, a raga is the projection of the artist’s inner spirit : a manifestation of his most extreme feelings and sensibilities.
The musician breathes life into each raga as he unfolds and expands it so that each note glistens and palpitates with life and the raga is disclosed colourful and incandescent with beauty.
The tala, or rhythmical cycle of a raga, plays a similarly significant role in expressing the mood. There’s a unique relationship between tune and rhythm. The subtleties outline the complexities and class with which they are woven together. The division in a taal and the strain on the 1st beat, called sum, are the most significant feature. The most enthralling moment for a seasoned listener is when both the musicians, after their individual improvisations, come back together on the sum. Today, Indian classical music is an abiding part of Western culture. Many composers and musicians have been influenced by our music.
Indian music is an example of the highest forms of music existing and nourished thru its rich cultural heritage.
