| Profile - Anoushka Shankar Being Pandit Ravi Shankar's daughter is daunting - he is one of the best known musicians not only in India, but the world over. Howver, his daughter Anoushka Shankar, a sitarist , like her father, seems anything but awed. She does not want to deny her history just because her father is who he is. He is also her guru and she will always be proud of the fact that she is his daughter.  Profile - Soha Ali Khan Soha is one of few artists who manage to combine mainstream 'commercial' cinema and arty films successfully. She loves variety and that makes it easy for her to take on both types of films. She does a few films because she wants to give her best. Otherwise, she is not too motivated to join the rat race in Bollywood, where actresses kick each other out of the way to achieve that elusive Number One status which never lasts anyway. Profile - Sonam Kapoor Just when everyone had decided that Sonam Kapoor preferred to be stuck in the classic beauty mould, the pretty lady went ahead and changed that thanks to numerous photo shoots in several well-known film periodicals. And she looked as lovely as she did when she was a demure, fully-covered heroine in Saawariya. Sonam says that Delhi 6 has all the ingredients to be a hit but points out that the ultimate decision rests with the audience. Profile - Amit Trivedi Fresh and different. Those are the terms often used to describe Amit Trivedi's music in Dev D. Amit has explored several genres in the film ranging from from Punjabi and folk to Sufi and rock. Not surprising considering that the man was closely associated with composing music for ad films as well as being a part of Om, a fusion band. Profile - Freida Pinto The movie gave her the opportunity to rub shoulders with Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore and also with Bollywood's star Shah Rukh Khan. It was an unreal experience, she says, and repeats more than once that she felt like she was in a dream. She reveals that her best moment came when the film won the Best Film award when the audience applauded the film. News Wizard |
