Tisca Chopra, who is known for her versatility in her roles, recently shot for a commercial with Shahrukh Khan. The shoot went on smoothly and the whole town is buzzing about her fabulous chemistry with SRK! The beautiful actress had a secret wish list of working with certain actors, which is almost complete. The top contenders of the list were SRK and Aamir Khan.

The talented Tisca was last seen in Aamir’s home production “Taare Zameen Par’ as the loving mother of Darsheel Safary. She had an amazing and an enriching experience working with him. That’s not all; she is one of the few actresses who have worked with both, Shahrukh and Aamir Khan. The actress now wishes to do a film with Shahrukh and the next person on her wish list is none other than Mr. Bachchan. Well we just hope that all of Tisca’s wishes come true!

Aishwarya Rai and her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan attended the recently held Police Awards. Aishwarya Rai continued her pink run by wearing a Pink colored Manish Malhotra saree. Like her?

Also spotted at the function was Aishwarya’s ex-lover Vivek Oberoi, who was sitting not far away from her.

Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek along with his wife Aishwarya attended the premiere of James Cameron’s Avatar at IMAX. While Abhishek wore a velvet suit, Aishwarya Rai for the first time was spotted in a Manish Malhotra anarkali. Abhi-Ash also attended at a fashion tribute for Kaifi Azmi earlier in the evening. Like Aishwarya in pink anarkali ?

Amitabh Bachchan was at Chennai for recent fecilitation ceremony, prior to the ceremony exhausted Big B dozed off in the hotel and woke up disoriented.

Director of Paa, Balki who was accompanying Big B said, , “He was fine. He finally had some sleep. You’ve to understand that this is no ordinary human being. Amitji is a miracle. He can continue working non-stop without sleep. Last week, he was running around getting the premiere in place. Then on Friday morning he left to shoot for Bigg Boss without any sleep after the premiere. After shooting the entire day in Lonavla he attended the Bombay Times party and then on Saturday early morning he left for Chennai. At an age when a lot of us will be in a rocking chair he is still rocking.”

A friend of Big B says, “After two major health scares recently, Amitji has refused to slacken his pace. Except for the break he took to be with Amar Singh in Singapore earlier this year, he has been working round the clock.

If Amitabh Bachchan has shown the way, could bahurani Aishwarya Rai Bachchan be far behind? Big B pulled off the role of a 13-year-old kid suffering from progeria for his Balki directed film with a unbelievable transformation through prosthetic make-up and now Ash in her forthcoming Vipul Shah movie Action Replay is going through an equally elaborate makeover to look like an old lady for some scenes.

Apparently even Ash is being given her look by well-known Hollywood make-up artists and the process takes between 4-5 hours. While Amitabh’s Auro was perfected by Christien Tinsley (The Passion of the Christ) and Dominie Till (The Lord Of The Rings trilogy), Ash is getting help from Paul Pattison who has earlier styled Mel Gibson for Braveheart and Tom Cruise for Mission Impossible.

An insider discloses, “The film is most probably about time travel and Ash will be seen playing an old lady in a portion of the movie. She had to patiently give over four hours to get the desired look  which took many prior sittings just to be finalised. It was an everyday ordeal to first put on and then remove the make-up. Bachchan too went through a similar experience. But Ash was on time regularly for these sessions.”
