Salman can do action, say family and friends

Posted: 25 Jun 2012 10:01 AM PDT


 
The recent reports claiming that Salman Khan has been told to stay off even the mildest action sequences due to his neurological condition has taken the industry by surprise.

"It is strange that all his films currently being shot are action-oriented be it Dabangg 2 or Ek Tha Tiger. Even the one I am writing Sher Khan has lot of action," says writer Rumi Jaffrey who has written about a dozen films of Salman Khan in the past that include Judwaa, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya among others. "If it was that serious then Salman would have himself opted for romantic and comedy films instead of hardcore action ones. He would have chosen another story," adds Rumi.
Quoting a "close friend" of the actor, the report says that even a slight misjudged punch on his face could trigger off his condition and cause acute pain, and that the collective decision has been taken by the family members and filmmakers to keep him "out of danger as much as possible". Totally rubbishing the report and further clarifying on this, Salman's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri (producer of Bodyguard) reacts, "The report is baseless. Salman is currently shooting action sequence for Dabangg 2 at Mehboob Studio."
However, Salman is someone who is known for taking risks, say the industry sources. "People as well as we friends keep advising him so many things, 'don't do this, don't do that' but Salman doesn't listen. That is his nature," says the writer while narrating an incident during the making of Tumko Na Bhool Payenge about a decade ago. "Even as we were telling him to not to jump from terrace of Hotel Centaur to the ground and let the body double do so, he took the leap himself," says the writer.

I want to inspire women, says Mona Singh

Actor Mona Singh won hearts as an ugly, yet confident duckling in "Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi", and now as a strong woman who battles her husband's infidelity in "Kya Huaa Tera Vaada", she wants to inspire women across the country.
"As an actor, I am here to inspire women in whatever way I can," Mona told IANS.
"There are many women who aren't treated well, whose husbands have extra-marital affairs and yet there are women who accept them back. But here I want to tell them to stand up for themselves and not be dependent on their husband for every decision and for money," she added.
In the show, the actress plays Mona, a happily married woman with three kids. Their family life is perfect until her husband goes back to his college sweetheart.
The current track of the Sony show features Mona who steps out of her life as a homemaker to make a mark for herself and be financially independent for the sake of her kids.
"A women has to be independent, she has to be working. She has to go out and meet new people," says the 31-year-old.
While Mona's husband is essayed by actor Pawan Shankar, actress Mouli Ganguly plays his love interest.
The show's track has been compared with that of David Dhawan's 1999 hit film "Biwi No.1″. But Mona says it isn't completely so.
"To a certain extent I agree, because the man did have an extra-marital affair and there was infidelity, but that was a three-hour movie. However, this is a serial and it will last for one year or two years at least, so it cannot be based on a movie," Mona said.
In the time that Mona was away from small screen's fictional content, she was seen on the big screen in films like "3 Idiots" and "Utt Patangg". Her association with TV was only limited with reality shows "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4″, "Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega 4″ and "Shaadi 3 Crore Ki".
Just when everybody thought she had shifted to the big screen, she came back to TV.
To this, Mona says movies are just a bonus and her heart lies with the idiot box.
"I was never going to quit television. You'll never read a single interview of mine where I have said that 'Okay, this is it! I have done enough, of television and now I am quitting.' Quitting was never my idea," Mona said.
"I started from television, I belong here and I will continue to do this. Movies will happen whenever they are supposed to happen. Movies will be bonus for me, television is my everyday bread, butter and jam and everything," she added. – IANS
