3 HRITHIK ROSHAN When you enter his Juhu duplex, you re greeted with healthy snacking options like brown bread chicken sandwiches, fruit juice and green tea. He takes a bite or two as well from the platter. At our appointed hour, his elder son, Hrehaan, was visibly busy choosing VFX scenes from his dad s upcoming superhero film, Krrish 3 while his doting daddy was wrapping up meetings. Sipping green tea with us, he beams, I loved the photographs we ve shot for Stardust. I did close-ups with Dabboo (Ratnani) after ages. I m really kicked! The actor is now in a happy and relaxed space. Understandably, Hrithik Roshan was in no mood to talk about the marriage gossip that s making rounds, but he ensured his chat with us was free-wheeling and as entertaining as his films. Krrish 3, his family, the news-making brain surgery and future projects, one of which is with, ahem, Kareena Kapoor Khan He had a lot to say!

5 SUNIL SHETTY BACK IN ACTION Everyone says I m a brilliant PR. I ve just been nice to people. Being nice is what I was brought up with. Sunil Shetty, who has seen the good and the bad professionally and personally, has never looked back at either. With no regrets and ample lessons learnt, he has a lot to look forward to. His daughter Athiya is gearing up to make her foray in films with a Salman Khan Productions film. Son Ahan is also harbouring showbiz dreams. Here s what their father had to say... Your daughter Athiya is making her foray in films. What would you advice her as a father and as an actor? She needs to work hard. Nothing is impossible to achieve. You don t have to jump or cross lines to be able to achieve success. You need to hone your talent. I ve told her to see Neetu Singh and Kajol, and their journeys as artistes. They did everything within their limits and made a superb career. There s no shortcut to success. And she s clear about that. Have you set any guidelines or limitations for her? All her life she s lived with her parents and grandparents. Guidelines are something she follows on her own. There s nothing I want to influence her with. She has to go with an open mind. But she knows the background we come from. She has Reshma Shetty who s handling her work. She s debuting in a Salman Khan Production. She has great people around her. The film is the remake of Hero.

6 PAOLI DAM IN SEARCH OF SUBSTANCE Acting is not child s play but it is the only thing that I can do. In today s day and age, it won t be wrong to say that an actress is truly accepted in Bollywood when she is offered an item number in an out-and-out commercial potboiler. From the B-town beauties, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor Khan to the critically acclaimed Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra we ve seen almost all our favourite heroines scorching up the screen with their sizzling moves. The latest one to join the bandwagon of the much in demand item girls is none other than the Vikram Bhatt find, Paoli Dam. After making an impressive debut in Hate Story, the Bong beauty now wishes to take the industry by storm through the interesting projects which are currently in her kitty. In a freewheeling chat with Stardust, the dusky damsel talks about her upcoming films and much more. Very few people have the gumption to commence their career with an exceptionally bold step. Paoli Dam is one of those spirited ones. The bundle of talent made waves with her debut film Hate Story and won everyone s hearts with her realistic performance. She effortlessly played the challenging role of a young woman who uses her sensuality to get revenge from her heartbreaker. Naturally, the girl was showered with a lot of interesting offers post that. So what took her so long before she made her second outing? Since I hail from Kolkata, initially, I had to do a lot of to-and-fro from Kolkata to Mumbai and back as I also had a lot of Bengali movies in my hand. Frankly, I did not have it in me to come to Mumbai and try to find a place in Bollywood. It s only when Vikram Bhatt had called me and offered me Hate Story, I contemplated being a part of Hindi cinema. So acting has happened to me by chance. It was never a dream. Then I found a place in Mumbai and finally shifted here and started going through the scripts which were being offered to me. This city has taught me how to be independent and interactive on a daily basis. I owe a lot to Mumbai. So it took me some time to settle down here and pick the right project. Plus, shooting and all was time consuming too, she shares. Though her last release Ankur Arora Murder Case failed to weave magic at the box-office, the Bengali beauty garnered appreciation for her impressive act. And she wasn t deterred by the lukewarm response but found satisfaction in the words of praise that she received. As an actor, when you decide to do a movie, you already know whether it will make magic or not. Ankur Arora is a film with a social message. I knew I wanted to do it the moment I was narrated the script. I was offered a fantastic powerful role. It was something that I had never done before. K.K. Menon, Tisca Chopra and Arjun Mathur were my co-stars in the film. All of them are

I think women coming together and speaking is really great. Hearing other women s stories was very inspiring. To hear what they have been through and come out the other side confident and strong in themselves.
