According to sources from South Africa, Yuvraj Singh is believed to be more than just good friends with Mandira Bedi. Buzz is that the cricketer and the commentator have been bonding big time a couple of weeks after the Indian Premiere League took off.“They were very good friends earlier, but somewhere along the way they got too busy with their schedules and couldn’t really keep in touch,” says our source, adding that Yuvi and Mandy caught up in SA like more than just long-lost buddies. The cricketer and television hottie’s bonding hasn’t gone unnoticed. The two have even made it to the the famous ‘fakeiplplayer’ blog as the author writes, “Sometime during this tournament, the Prince and Sandy Baddy Babe have renewed their long friendship.They have been seen together in clubs, hotel lobbies and corridors having long discussions on the finer nuances of the beautiful game.” Reportedly, Prince is the blogger’s name for Yuvraj Singh while Sandy Baddy Babe is Mandira Bedi. Now this is something that isn’t too hard to believe.. since the Kings XI Punjab captain is reported to be quite a ladies’ man, considering his partying ways in Mumbai, Delhi etc. That was after he had broken up with long-time girlfriend, actress Kim Sharma.Yuvi and Kim were in a relationship for four years.. and were reportedly even considering marriage. But it is believed that his mother didn’t exactly approve of an actress bahu right from the time they committed to each other. Initially everything was hunky dory, but after a couple of years, his mother’s dominance began to show.Yuvi, who’s known to be a maa ka laadla, reportedly gave in under pressure from her.. and gradually he and Kim drifted apart, sometime in the middle of 2007. It’s believed that Yuvi used to call and SMS her till last year, but wisened a year-and-a-half since their split, Kim didn’t revert to him.

Yuvraj Singh's got a new squeeze?

Cricket stud Yuvraj Singh is perhaps one of the most eligible bachelors in the city, and is living up to that status unabashedly.While there were reports that he has gotten back with ex-girlfriend Kim Sharma, it seems like the man is in no hurry to stop exploring other options.On Wednesday night, we spotted the cricketer with three girls cheering for Manchester United while watching the Champions League finals between Man U and Barcelona at Henry Tham, Colaba.Soon, TV actor Jennifer Kotwal (Saloni of Just Mohabbat) joined him. Yuvi and she chatted for 15-20 minutes. Then Jennifer left and soon after Yuvi vanished too, leaving the three girls and pal Bunty Sachdev to watch the rest of the match.Now, should we read something more from that 'quickie' exit?We don't know. But if a guy has to dump a football match midway, there must be something special going on!

SRK won't shake a leg at IPL 2 finale

Posted by Mohan Desai On 4:46 PM 0 comments


While Shah Rukh Khan insists it's because of his shoulder injury, the pathetic performance of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is possibly the main reasonThere's bad news for Shah Rukh Khan fans across the globe.They'll miss King Khan in action, as he won't be performing at the grand finale of the IPL season 2, which will be held at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg tomorrow.The finale will have a grand show put up by Cineyug's Morani Brothers and Development Network Africa.Says a source from South Africa, "The Morani Brothers are very close to Shah Rukh and are scripting and directing the event.It's strange that Shah Rukh, who performs in almost every show of the Morani's, won't be performing this time. In fact he's not even going t o south Africa for the finals."Commenting on SRK not performing at the finals, Mohammed Morani, says, "Shah Rukh has been a part of most of our shows and it's sad not to have him this time. Actually, he's busy shooting and didn't have dates for the event."Besides, a source adds that people had expected SRK to come for the IPL finals and cheer his team but apparently he's keeping a low profile, as KKR failed miserably in the tournament."Hence, Shah Rukh just wants to keep away from all the controversies and concentrate on his work," he says.Speaking to MiD DAY, Shah Rukh said, "I won't be able to perform at the IPL finals this time as my shoulder is till healing."A source close to Shah Rukh, dismissing the gossip, says, "Shah Rukh is busy completing his shooting commitments and hence, he's unable to attend the event.Also, he's not keeping a low profile – it's just that there are no parties or social events for him to attend right now."But a source from South Africa perseveres, "Shah Rukh performed at builder Kanti Govani's nephew's wedding, which was held on April 30. If he could perform then, why not now?" he questions.Apart from Katrina Kaif and Shilpa Shetty, the IPL finals won't have any big tinsel town stars performing this year.However, Morani says, "As IPL is a global event, it will witness performances by Eddy Grant, percussionist Sivamani with 100 drummers, Akon, Miss Bollywood (South Africa) and quite a few internationals acts."




Miss Bollywood IPL South Africa : Dune Kossatz
Model and actress Dune Kossatz, 35, of East London was named Miss Bollywood IPL South Africa at a glittering event at the Montecasino entertainment complex here early Sunday morning.Kossatz, who had garnered the most Internet votes of 48 finalists selected from each of the IPL games held at various South African venues, was ecstatic at the opportunity to do screen tests for a movie with Shah Rukh Khan as part of her prize package.This on-off component of the prize was finally revealed at the event after it was announced at the start of the series, and then changed midway through the contest to 'a guided tour through Bollywood', because organisers said guaranteeing a role with Shah Rukh Khan would be difficult.Johannesburg Business Marketing graduate Genna Cloud, 24, who got the second greatest number of votes, was also named First Princess by the panel of judges and Dunay Nortje was crowned Second Princess

Shilpa Shetty on a safari

Posted by Mohan Desai On 4:31 PM 0 comments


Shilpa Shetty is very fond of the safari in South Africa and has been wanting to go there for a long time now. Since, she is in South Africa for the IPl along with Raj and few close friends, they decided to do that, as they wanted a much needed break. The whole group landed in Singita yesterday and were staying at Lebombo. They all went on a drive yesterday and they were really lucky to see a pack of lions

A source close to Shilpa said “Shilpa nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard it roar. They also saw hippo’s in the water hole, and a giraffe (poor thing was injured), Baboons Impala’s, kudu’s and the most regal African Elephants. They had a lot of fun. That place is completely cut away from outside world, No phone networks and no TV in the rooms. Shilpa has never enjoyed cricket so much, it’s been a great weekend. She is going back to Joburg today, next match in Durban against Kings XI” Come on Royals… HALLA BOL. -Sampurn

No touching, please, says Preity

Posted by Mohan Desai On 2:28 PM 0 comments


Preity Zinta who’s in South Africa with her cricket team is cool as a cucumber most of the time.But when people whom she barely even knows get familiar with her, she finds it hard to take. Though she’s most charming, sweet and often genteel with fans, Zinta likes to keep a wee bit of distance. She tells us, “I am fine with people posing with me for pictures, but what I don’t like is when some put their hand around my waist or shoulders! When you don’t know someone too well, it gets awkward and this is something I just don’t like.” So next time you try to put your arm around this lady, remember touching is touché.

Fake IPL Player

Posted by Mohan Desai On 1:23 PM 3 comments
Who is the "Fake IPL Player" afterall ?

For SRK’s Kolkata Knight Rider’s, things seem to be going from bad to worse. Since the talk began about IPL season 2, KKR was the one which was the most talked about team, partly because of SRK and hugely because of its Controversies, the multiple captaincy strategy. Finally the multiple captaincy idea was put aside making Brendon McCullum as the single captain of the team. Just when things were seemed to be settled in KKR and time has come to prove their popularity on the field, enter’s the so claimed Fake IPL Player.He claims to be from the Kolkata Knight rider’s team and makes some witty remarks on Sourav Ganguly. Writing a post on April 19 after the team meeting, he described Ganguly as ‘Lord Almighty’ and said that his [edited] experience would be used in the middle order.


He says

“Just out of the team meeting held in the Coach’s suite. Skipper did most of the talking. He is opening with the Calypso King. Lord Almighty is at No. 3. Some [edited] about using his experience to guide the middle order, similar to what the other 2 of the troika did yesterday. Lord sat there straight faced. Didn’t say much. Didn’t smile at all. I was standing at one corner straight across the Lord. And given my height and stature I can go quite unnoticed. I was observing the Lord carefully, each twitch of his eyes, every movement of his thumb, his gaze. He is very unhappy and uncomfortable. Being treated like this in front of his bachchas“.



Though the authenticity of him being a player in KKR is questionable, the facts which he posts in his blog seems to be true.People suspect that it might be Akash Chopra but in yesterdays blog post, he said that his name was not in the playing XI against Kings XI Punjab to be played on Tuesday.Is this a publicity stunt by an anonymous ambitious blogger?All in all, who is the man behind the blog remains a mystery. Probably, SRK, the DON should enter the scene now and say some dialogues

Fans miss Bollywood at IPL opening

Posted by Mohan Desai On 1:09 PM 0 comments


Where was the Bollywood entertainment or "taste of India" that the Indian Premier League had promised repeatedly in the run-up to the official opening of the tournament in Cape Town on Saturday (April 18) night?That was the question on the lips of many Bollywood fans at the colourful ceremony at a packed Sahara Newlands Stadium here, as a host of artists entertained the crowd with items as diverse as traditional drums from both countries and circus acts from Europe entertained them.But the closest sign of anything Bollywood or Indian on the field, besides the teams, was a tabla being played by a South African artist accompanying the traditional African dancers on their drums.Even the music featured in all the entertainment items did not have any Bollywood music in it.Fans did get repeated glimpses of Bollywood stars and team owners Shah Rukh Khan and Shilpa Shetty on the big screens during the two matches, including the disappointment on Shilpa's face as she watched, together with her mother and sister from the suites, how the chances of her Rajasthani Royals team defending its title slipped away from the Bangalore Royal Challengers.Shah Rukh was shown with his wife Gauri and their two children, at times Shah Rukh doting over his son as the latter made comments about the game.But that was the closest that the fans got to see of Bollywood.Off the field, there were very short interviews on television with the first two winners in the search to find the next new face of Bollywood from among South African girls.The young women, identified by the interviewer only as Raeesa and Tasneem, both from Cape Town, just gave monosyllabic answers to the questions posed by him as they admitted to being Shah Rukh Khan fans and being "nervous" or "wow" about the possibility of starring in a movie with him.A total of 50 winners will be chosen from the crowds at every one of the eight venues around the country that are to host IPL matches.One finalist from each venue will be chosen, leaving eight winners to be hosted and feted at The Wanderers in Johannesburg at the final of the IPL 2009 tournament on May 24. The ultimate winner will be announced during the final.IPL fans worldwide will also be able to cast their votes for the winner via the IPL website.

SRK says sorry to Gavaskar

Posted by Mohan Desai On 12:49 PM 0 comments



Bollywood superstar and principal owner of IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Shah Rukh Khan, who had hit out at Sunil Gavaskar for the former India captain’s criticism of the multiple captains theory, has now apologised to the legendary batsman.
“I have not said anything against Gavaskar. I just wanted to have breathing space to try something new. I have sent him an apology letter because he was in America that time,” Shah Rukh said before his departure for South Africa on Monday night.
He said: “Due to the wonderful methodology that television applies, that comment was for people who don’t understand cricket and who are still telling me how to run the team.
“If Gavaskar asks me to walk on my head and run the team, I would. Anything that Gavaskar says that has to do with cricket, if he mentions, should be followed,” the actor said.
Shah Rukh said the controversy had hurt him.
“People are making comments without understanding what the concept of multiple captaincy is,” he said.
The Knight Riders team owner’s apology comes a couple of days after cricket manager John Buchanan had reacted to Gavaskar’s criticism.
Suggesting Buchanan’s multiple-skipper theory did not deserve comment, the former India captain had written in his syndicated column “…he has wangled for his Queensland pals and former teammates lucrative jobs with the franchise… The owners, poor souls, probably have little idea of how they are being milked”.
Buchanan refused to comment when the controversy broke, but changed his mind a few days later. “There were always people who were more than willing to put the knife in, and the fact that I never played Test cricket was simmering in the background of these digs, particularly by a select few,” Buchanan was quoted as saying by a South African newspaper. “I never shook the feeling that the axe was always hovering,” he added.

SRK's Korbo, Lorbo... is passe

Posted by Mohan Desai On 12:38 PM 0 comments


Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo Re – these were the lyrics of the Kolkata Knight Riders anthem last year.But that was when the IPL was held in India. Now, since the tournament has shifted to South Africa, SRK’s team has also changed its anthem, so that supporters there can easily chant it when the team takes to the field. “The tournament has moved to SA. Keeping that in view, the anthem Korbo, Lorbo... has been changed. The beats are different and the lyrics too will have a more international feel to it,” said a source close to the team.Looks like Shah Rukh Khan is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring the success of his team this time round. That might be the reason why there are rumours that the video of the song will also be re-shot. “SRK has heard the song and there are talks of a new video being shot for it. But nothing is confirmed as of now,” informed the source. The original video for the song featured SRK in the team’s golden-and-black colours – wearing a dhoti in Kolkata ishtyle. Do you have a golden-black bermuda in mind now, Shah Rukh?
