Why do successful women fall for bad boys?

It's happened way too often and it will keep happening. Attractive, successful women gravitating to men who are less that perfect, abusive towards women and even physically violent. The latest in this sad line of stories is Sonal Chauhan, the lead actress from Bollywoods latest hit, Jannat. She was seeing Sahil Jajoo (is the name right?) earlier and the relationship started tapering off (after she became successful???) and she tried moving away from him. He had a angry showdown with her at a airport in Mumbai and apparently snatched her phone and pushed her around. She has filed a complaint and the case is under investigation.

This Sahil is the same guy who reportedly supplied drugs to the fatal Rahul Mahajan/Moitra party in which Moitra ended up dead. He is also allegedly a dealer in Shahtoosh shawls (illegal btw). And a few other acts of law breaking apparently.

My point is didn't this girl know what she was getting into? A guy into drugs, illegal shawls/merchandise dealings? Why do girls get attracted towards such guys?? Or is it a case of use and throw?

Ambitious women using rich and brash women on their way up and dumping them when they get there? The list contains Aishwarya Rai, one of the most prominent people whose story we are all aware of. She was successful at her own level but needed to step up. Thats when Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam happened and she got her first A-list hit!! Later months/years later she spoke about him being abusive, physically violent (or did she leave that out) and his cheating on her regularly. Why not when he did all this, and dump him right away? I'm no fan of Salman Khan, another bad guy of the worst order, but it does look like that he was used to an extent in our male-dominated industry. Women do use men in their climb to the top. And men oblige. When its a two way understanding, we have the Urmila-Ramu affairs, Nisha-Ramu affairs and so on....and Ramu is still going strong.

Well besides these affairs, Bollywood is also releasing movies, Haal-E-Dil being the most prominent one.

News is that Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja are going steady as indicated by their replies to questions posed in interviews. Pretty good sleuting I would say. Pick up answers from both persons and see if there are any indications from the answers.


Apparently Priyanka answered a question about the best Valentine gift she received, saying it was a Music CD of her favorite songs with a small prelude to every song by the boyfriend. And Harman in reply to another question about any gift that he has given recently said "burnt a CD of 12 of my girl's favourite tracks, went to a recording studio and inserted a romantic couplet that I had written myself before each track". his definitely confirms they were talkng about each other.
Smart deducing, I say. Elementary Watson, elementary.

Hot fresh movies coming up....






It's been some time and I haven't blogged since over a month now. By that time the movies I was discussing have been released and unfortunately did not do too well - Krazzy 4 and even Tashan which released last week. In fact Tashan was so widely promoted and hyped and irritatingly only due to its Tashan factor. What about the movie, story, acting etc? U Me aur Hum did modestly well and got good reviews though it has not pulled in huge revenues.

Anyway, they are history now and now among the upcoming movies are Dhoom Dadakka and later Hijack, Mehbooba and Sarkar Raj. Dhoom Dadakka has the funny twins Anupam Kher and Satish Shah and four newcomers - Shaad Randhawa, Sameer Dattani, Aarti Chhabria, Shama Sikander. And yes there is also the sizzling Deekshika, according to me one of the most beautiful women in teh industry. Unfortunately she has not done enough movies during her stint in Bollywood. Check out the movies for the attractive women if not the movie. It's high on drool quotient.
