And I promise you I'll make my parents proud." Of course Aarya will raise his voice if the need arises. "I've learnt to hold my peace in recent times. But if I see something wrong happening in the House I won't keep quiet." So what brings Aarya to Bigg Boss? He laughs, "The money, of course. It's good. But the real reason is the book that I've written. It gets published in January. I hope to express myself on what I've written in the Bigg Boss House. When I come out as a winner-of course I'll win-i hope...

The pretty girl next door image holds true for Amrita Rao, even after almost ten years in the Hindi film industry. The traditionally beautiful actress made her debut at a very early age with late Raj Kanwar's Ab Ke Baras (2002), but it was Ken Ghosh's Ishq Vishq, the very next year, opposite Shahid Kapoor, that saw her rise to fame. However Srk's Farah Khan directed, Main Hoon Na, was undoubtedly the biggest break of her career, where she delivered a spirited performance and wo...

Though she made her debut in 2002 in Ab Ke Baras, it was Ken Ghosh?s Ishq Vishq that got her visibility. But it was only four years later in 2006 that the Rajshri Film Vivah made people sit up and take notice of Amrita Rao.

This week Amrita will be seen in her second Rajshri Productions film. On the eve of the release of Love U?Mr Kalakaar the petite 29 year old talks to Udita Jhunjhunwala

This is your second film with Rajshri Productions, after Vivah. How different was it working with a newcomer director, S. Manasvi?

It was not very different. Fortunately Manasvi shares very similar notions and ideas to Sooraj Barjatya?s, so he was almost like an extension of Sooraj ji which was lovely. The crew was very young, so it was like a picnic on the set. We never felt pressure to deliver,...

Mar 1, Mumbai: Amrita Rao, the girl next door who transformed herself into a hottie for “Short kut: The Con Is On” movie, after her previous films failed to impress the audience, is the talk of the town for her affair with a Nri doctor. This Bollywood actress debuted with the film “Ab Ke baras” in 2002, though she grabbed eyeballs with her roles in Ken Ghosh’s.

September 23, 2010: Bollywood actor Arya Babbar, son of veteran actor Raj Babbar, is now showing another talented side of him. On Wednesday, the actor has released his first graphic comic book titled ‘Pushpak Viman’, which is a contemporary take on Hindu mythology.

Arya, who debuted in Bollywood with the movie Ab Ke Baras in 2002 with another debutant actress Amrita Rao, was first recognized for his performance in Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan starrer movie Guru. His powerful performance in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Jail earned him a nomination at the Iifa awards 2010. Now, the actor is also.

The guy in the svelte jacket is veteran actor and politician Raj Babbar’s son Arya Babbar. He debuted with Ab Ke Baras a few years ago and is still looking for his big break in Bollywood. The second picture, you might assume, is Arya playing the role of a Sikh in a movie.Look again — the turbaned man is not actually Arya, but a usher at the newly opened Trident Hotel at the Bandra Kurla Complex! Yes, the resemblance is so uncanny, that we couldn’t help but ask the man in question to step aside and pose for us. And he ...

Born to thespian veterans like Raj and Nadira Babbar, acting was in Aarya Babbar’s blood. However, his debut film Ab Ke Baras didn’t fare well at the box office and Aarya decided to take some time off to learn the nuances of theatre.

Right now, he is shooting for Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan and has also worked in an Indo-Pak Punjabi film titled Virsa. What would you do if Superman ...

After ‘Ab Ke Baras’ fell flat at the box-office, Arya Babbar was lost to the doom.

He gets candid in an interview and shares his experience of working with Madhur Bhandarkar.

Tell us about you character in the film Jail.

My character’s name is Kabir Malik. He is an underworld convict. From inside the jail how he operates the underworld is what my part is all about. He is a sly guy who is more like a.

Once a poet said that 'If the world was ever enveloped by darkness, I will simply tell an innocent girl to smile, for her mere smile is enough to fully illuminate the world!' We are very sure of the fact that the poet surely must have had Birthday-girl Amrita Rao (7th June’ 2009) in mind, whilst coming up with these golden words. Amrita, for starters, is what one would like to call as the apt fitting synonym to the words 'innocence' and 'purity'. Having made her debut in a forgettable flick called Ab Ke Baras, Amrita has indeed come a long way with an array of hits tucked under her belt, courtesy her superlative acting in films like Main Hoon Na, Welcome To Sajjanpur, My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves, Vivaah, Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi, Masti, Ishq Vishk, Victory etc… The success meter of her acting skills lies in the...

She is what innocence and purity is all about. Her mere smile is enough for the entire city to get illuminated in a jiffy, for she is none other than the petite Amrita Rao, who, after having made an unforgettable debut in the forgettable flick Ab Ke Baras, has already carved a niche for herself (and that too without any proverbial Godfather) in an industry where only Godfathers' prodigies reign supreme. Prior to her entry in Bollywood, Amrita -'The Model' gave everyone reasons galore to buy a million products. Post her entry in Bollywood, Amrita -'The Actress' is busy giving reasons to everyone to flock into the theatres again and again.
