Farah Khan to appear on Salman's show Dus Ka Dum with Deepika Padukone

Farah Khan Shah Rukh Khan's closest friend will soon be seen on his arch enemy Salman Khan's show 10 Ka Dum alongwith her Om Shanti Om leading lady Deepika Padukone.

Farah has always drawn a very clear line between her friends and her work. She doesn't let one aspect affect the other.

Don't think Sallu knows

After choreographing a song on Sallu's home production Main Aur Mrs Khanna, on Monday, she shot for an episode of 10 Ka Dum. Farah confirms, "Yes, I am appearing on DKD. The channel people asked me as I am already judging their show, Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega.

I was earlier supposed to go with Sajid Khan or my husband Shirish (Kunder) and Deepika was to come with Saif to promote Love Aaj Kal but that didn't work out, so we are going together. I don't think Salman knows I'm coming on the show. He'll know when I go there."

Farah is appearing on the show for a cause, "I hope to win a certain amount of money. I am a member of the board of trustees of the NGO Sneha.

They work for the education of slum children, empowerment of women living in slums, teach them about health, making them self-reliant in the process, through various self-employment techniques."

Fund-raiser

She adds, "I learnt about it from a school friend. Sneha is being run by a doctor who gave up her job in Sion Hospital to work for the women and children. If I win Rs 10 to 50 lakh, it will be great as they need to survive. I'm in charge of fund-raising and creating awareness for the NGO."

All seems to be well between Deepika and Farah now. Last year, she was upset with Deepika for not keeping in touch after OSO. Says Farah, "Deepika's a sweet girl and we have been bonding a lot over the last year. In fact, Ranbir and Deepika have come to my home a number of times." All's well that ends well.

Farhan-Deepika ragged in Kochi

Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padukone were made to dance on the streets of Kochi when they were shooting there recently for their film Karthik Calling Karthik. A group of 20-25 youngsters landed at the Kochi Fort where they were shooting and did not allow them to shoot until both Deepika and Farhan danced with them to the tunes of Rock On!!.

Our source present on the sets said, “We had all the necessary permissions to shoot. However, we never thought that crowds would be an issue. Deepika is there films old and Farhan has done just two. South Indian films are more popular in Kochi and we never thought that the crowd would bother with Deepika or Farhan. However, a group of youngsters landed on location and requested the actors to dance with them.”

“Farhan and Deepika, who are both extremely shy, refused at first. However, the crowd went crazy and did not allow them to shoot. They started making a noise and they were so loud that it was impossible to concentrate on the shoot. Finally both of them had to agree. The crowd piped down and left only after Farhan and Deepika danced for at least 10 minutes with them.”

Evidently, the popularity of Bollywood knows no boundaries.

Imtiaz ali is highly impressed by Deepika Padukone

From Socha Na Tha to Jab We Met and his soon to be released Love Aaj Kal, his ambitious take on the classic romantic era of the 1960’s and today’s 2009 Imtiaz Ali leaves a unique stamp on conventional genres when it comes to defining an original voice in films today.

Love Aaj Kal looks like it is an unapologetic work of a visionary filmmaker with his own unique style who is completely happy with this task accomplished. The film is supposed to be thrilling, heart pounding and cinematically exquisite.

While talking to the media on his understanding of Love, Imtiaz says, “Love is something that I don’t understand. It’s an inappropriate word.”

The director, who also owes Jab We Met to his credit, believes that he puts in his best in each project that he undertakes and the same has happened with this film.

Commenting about Deepika Padukone, the actress of his film Love Aaj Kal, director says that the girl has impressed him a lot. He feels that Deepka has a sense of silence and innocence in her which is of the same nature as Meera, the character she plays in the film.

“Deepika has impressed me completely because of her synergy with the character she plays, just like how Kareena impressed me while she played Geet”, says Imtiaz Ali.
