No Gaana For Ash
JAN 14 - If things had worked out, Aishwarya Rai would have crooned for Ashutosh Gowariker’s Jodhaa-Akbar. But the actress somehow never managed to find time for it.

The song in question is the devotional track Mann Mohana, which has now been rendered by Bela Shende.

Too busy

Reveals Jodhaa’s composer A R Rahman, “Ashutosh strongly felt that Aishwarya could record the song in her own voice, as a bonus for her fans. So, we got Bela to record the track and waited for Ash to come and dub it.

It’s sheer bad luck that when I was free, Ash was too busy and vice-versa. Meanwhile, we got so used to hearing Bela’s voice that we decided to retain it,” insists Rahman, who is currently gearing up to flag off his own music academy.

Miss keeps missing

Incidentally, this is the second time that Ash has missed out on a chance to see her name in the song credits. Earler, she was supposed to record the tapori duet number Apun Bola Tu Meri Laila with Shah Rukh Khan in Mansoor Khan’s Josh.

Maybe Ash can take tips from hubby Abhishek who has the experience of Ek Main Aur Ek Tu Hai from Bluffmaster! under his belt. (Source: Mid-Day)
 
Bebo-Saif Go Commercial
JAN 14 - Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan have only one film together — Tashan. But the lovers are interested in working together not only on the big screen, but also in commercials. And they have relayed this message to advertising companies as well.

Both Saif and Bebo are doing a record number of endorsements. It’s obvious that the lovers want to spend as much time as possible. In the past year, Kareena has flown in to be with her beau in different parts of the world.

This was possible only because she wasn’t shooting. Now the couple are thinking ahead and want to plan their next assignments — films and advertisements — so that they can spend time together.

Missing you

A source reveals that it was Kareena’s idea. She sounded it off to Saif who willingly agreed. “Saif and Kareena are like a new couple who want to be together all the time.

And since, in their profession, this is not always possible, the best way to ensure that is to work together as much as possible.”

“Saif never had that problem with his ex, Rozza Catalano.

She travelled with him everywhere he went because she didn’t have any work commitments and Saif misses having his lady around with him on outdoor shoots,” adds the source.

Madame says

It is learnt that Kareena has instructed Matrix — the agency that manages her — to hunt for opportunities where she and Saif could feature together. “Saif likes the idea of being a commercially hot pair like John-Bipasha.”

So, don’t be surprised if the next time you switch on the television and see B-Town’s latest couple goading you to buy a particular brand of toothpaste and potato chips.
