Ajay is sexiest actor: Kajol

 

It's been 15 years since Kajol married Ajay Devgn, but she still finds him to be the "sexiest actor" in Bollywood, and says she craves to go on a romantic date with him as they don't get "enough" time.

During a tete-a-tete on her filmmaker friend Karan Johar's celebrity chat show "Koffee With Karan", Kajol spoke candidly about her changed fashion choices, choosy nature in picking films, about the new brigade of actors and of her loving husband.

Karan asked her - "Who is the sexiest actor in the movies? Objectively today?"

Pat came the reply: "My husband."

The filmmaker, who considers Kajol as his lucky charm and who has roped her in for all his movies so far, pulled her leg by saying: "I have a Kajol song - 'Bhala hai bura hai jaisa bhi hai mera pati mera devata hai...' (Whether he is good or bad, my husband is my god)"

Kajol retorted: "I am sorry it's got nothing (to do with that). ...I really find him the sexiest actor, I really like those dark brooding looks! It's got to do with my personal taste."

Ajay and Kajol have two children together - daughter Nyasa and son Yug.

Since both the actors lead busy lives, when Kajol was asked to name "a person from the film industry you would like to take on a romantic date", she said: "My husband!"

Justifying her response, Kajol said: "I don't get enough time with him. I would really like to take him out for a romantic date."

Also, Karan asked her to rate a select few male actors on the basis of their talent and acting ability.

He gave Kajol a choice from Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ajay, Ranbir Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan, but was quick to remove Ajay from the list as he said it would be a "no brainer" to know where he would be placed.

Kajol said: "To start with, to be very honest with you...I would really say Ranbir. I really think he is seriously fantastic. Secondly there is, I think Shah Rukh and Aamir are on par with each other. There is no up or down in that.

"Then we come to Salman and so on. Of course, but if Ajay was included in that list..."

The actress was accompanied by her cousin and director Ayan Mukerji on the show. The episode featuring them will be aired Sunday.

I was merely an actor who got lucky: Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan credited his success to the script writers for helping him rule the industry.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan credited his success to the script writers for helping him rule the industry for more than four decades.
Amitabh Bachchan, 71, who got the ‘Angry Young Man’ image in the industry after his brave portrayal of inspector Vijay in ‘Zanjeer’, said he is thankful to Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar for moulding his image as an actor.
“The credit goes to (‘Zanjeer’) writers Salim- Javed for capturing the prevailing mood of the society. I was just the voice. It was Salim-Javed who thought of it and put in
cinematic emotion. I was merely an actor who got lucky,” Amitabh Bachchan said on the sidelines of India Today conclave 2014 while discussing on the issue ‘Cinema as the mirror of society’.
“The discontent and anger during the Emergency brought about Zanjeer and the ‘ Angry Young Man’,” he added.
While Amitabh Bachchan reflected the image of men in the society of that era but he described filmmaking during that time as “haphazard”.
“It was an individual profession and more of a mom-and- pop organisation, where people would borrow money and make a film. The song and fight sequences would be shot over a week and shown to a financer. Till then, we would sit twiddling our thumbs. Thus, in between, we worked in several films,” he said.
The ‘Sholay’ star also has a successful stint in small screen as a quizmaster. He confessed that he took up ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) to clear his debts by Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd, an entertainment company.
“We were the first to start corporation of Bollywood in 1995. We did not know how to operate the business and we ran into losses. KBC helped me earn money to pay off the debt.”

Matthew McConaughey wins best actor Oscar for ’Dallas Buyers Club’

HOLLYWOOD: Matthew McConaughey won the best actor Oscar on Sunday for his role in true-life AIDS activist drama "Dallas Buyers Club."
McConaughey beat fellow nominees Christian Bale ("American Hustle"), Bruce Dern ("Nebraska"), Leonardo DiCaprio ("The Wolf of Wall Street") and Chiwetel Ejiofor ("12 Years a Slave").
His turn as a homophobe who begins smuggling experimental medicine in Texas when he learns he is HIV-positive earned him his first nomination and Oscar, after a series of star performances in an increasingly serious series of films.
He quickly praised his rivals for the award, saying "all these performances were impeccable, in my opinion. I didn't see a false note anywhere."
After a nod to his late father -- "He's probably up there with a cold can of Miller Lite" -- McConaughey offered some straightforward advice for the 0crowd: "Just keep living."
