| BIRTHDAY BASH!- December 30, 2000 | |
|
Salman Khan celebrated his birthday (December 27) at the swanky Mayfair Rooms in Worli. The party was a lavish affair with the entire Khan brigade turning up in full strength to be with Mamu,their nickname for Sallu, on his janamdin. Arbaaz came accompanied by gorgeous wife Malaika who took to the dance floor with sis Amrita Arora. Incidentally Amrita is making her debut this New Year, as an actress of course. That's what they all wannabe in the end. Sohail, the sweetest of the Khan brothers, stuck to wifey Seema and couldn't stop talking about his newborn Nirvaan. The birthday boy Salman walked in hand in hand with a coy Aishwarya Rai, clad in typical a designer salwar kameez. The other star guests included Anil Kapoor smiling away to glory in a bright red sweatshirt, Shilpa Shetty with papa Shetty, Pooja Batra, Nagma and Preeti Jhangiani with her businessman beau. Ms World Priyanka Chopra made a dazzling entry dressed to the nines (false eyelashes et al) and promptly latched on to every director present in the room which included David Dhawan, E Niwas, Sanjay Chhel and Karan Johar. This one can't wait to get into films. Just like Yukta Mookhey who's finally making her debut in an Aftab Shivdasani starrer. The party went on till the wee hours of the night. Salman got extremely emotional when Hrithik Roshan phoned to apologise for not being able to attend the party. Hrithik was right in the midst of the Nepal controversy that evening. Hrithik sounded so disturbed over the entire thing and so baffled and bewildered that Sallu had tears in his eyes for his friend. Shah Rukh who also wasn't able to make it because of his night shooting for Devdas, had dropped in at Salman's house earlier in the day, to wish him. No scene, no hungama, no unpleasantness. Salman made such a pleasant host that night, that we were left wondering why we couldn't see more of this Salman than the one we usually got to see and hear of. |

Film star Salman Khan, the male lead in Naseem Rizvi's film Chori Chori Chupke Chupke which is said to be financed by underworld don Chhota Shakeel, was on Saturday questioned for over five hours by the crime branch of the city police. |
| FRIENDS!- November 13, 2000 | |
| Well, at the audio release of 'Chori Chori Chupke Chupke', Rani and Preity were at their over-friendliness stunts all over again. And what's more. Rani was heard calling out to her Preity dearest... 'Preetam Preetam'. And then obviously the giggles and talks followed. Also sharing another great friendship were co-stars Salman and Sunju, who were also filled with giggles and small talks with Salman whispering sweet nothings into the Dutt's ears every now and then. But obviously their friendship was shown-off with a li'l more maturity than the gals'. Neways, we hope their movie does well, in the name of friendship at least, if nothing else. |
| NEGATIVE ROLE!- November 10, 2000 | |
| Salman Khan will enact the first negative role of his career in his home production to be directed by E-Niwas of Shool fame. There were rumours in the industry that this project was shelved two days ago and that Sohail Khan, Salman's brother, had signed ad-film maker Kailash Surendranath to direct the film. But the rumours were set to rest by a close source of Salman who informed IndiaFM that the E-Niwas project and the film that Kailash is going to direct are two different projects. While the project to be directed by Kailash will go on floors by January-February 2001, the E-Niwas film will start from June next year. |
| BEFITTING BASH FOR ASH!- November 08, 2000 | |
| On November 1, 2000, Aishwarya woke up early morning on her birthday even though she wasn't shooting that day. Her house was already full of bouquets when she stepped into her living room at nine in the morning. After breakfast with her parents, the Rai family headed for Jogeshwari, where Aishwarya went to a children's home. She distributed sweets, clothes and toys amongst the children, and spent a few hours with them. Later, they returned home and the entire afternoon was spent receiving calls and wishes. In the evening, after having spent the day at home with her parents it was the boyfriend's turn to get his due. Salman Khan had organized a dinner at his house for his ladylove. Late at night, he dropped her home. It was back to normal the next day at Mehboob Studios where Ash was shooting with Abhishek Bachchan for the Rohan Sippy's film. |
| ASH & SALMAN GO PUBLIC!- November 08, 2000 | |
|
Last week the Mumbai dailies went crazy with pictures of Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan for what they termed as the couple's first public appearance. The significance of those pictures, which could have been stills from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam or candid pictures taken at any party attended by both stars, was lost on us. The way the headlines screeched, the lovers should have been at least holding hands if not smooching. Now that would have been something to make a noise about. Salman had his cake and ate it too. He probably knows the press better then they know him. He let the photographers shoot Ash and him together at the audio release function of Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye but for all practical purposes they were still merely colleagues like any other. Kya ullu banaya Sallu ne. Salman and his cavalry took the front seats, which included Bunty Walia, brother Sohail Khan, girlfriend Aishwarya Rai and Salman's sister Arpita. Salman is the hero of the movie but Ash is not the heroine of this film. She was the chief guest if you please. The leading ladies of Kahin Pyaar Ho Na Jaaye, Pooja Batra and Raveena Tandon (Rani Mukherjee didn't come) made their entry a little later. But Salman refused to leave the chief guest's palloo except when she was called on stage to do the honours. Aishwarya Rai got really excited about her job when she went up to release the album. She recited a line from a song in the film "Tu jahan rahe, khush rahe yeh dua hai meri." Is she becoming dramatic or is she... Rai made for the exit immediately after her 'touching little gesture'. Salman, who was talking to a reporter, found girlfriend missing and scampered out of the door, while Murli Mohan Rao, the director of Kahin Pyaar Ho Na Jaaye and producer Shyam Bajaj dejectedly watched the stars leave their party. Yeh log kya jaane pyaar kya hota hai, nai Sallu? |
| OFFICIALLY YOURS!- November 01, 2000 | |
| "I am a very emotional person. I am not the kind who hides matters close to my heart".This was Aishwarya Rai. And a day after this talk, Ash and Salman went public. At a recent function of a film that did not star Ash, Salman invited her to the stage to release the cassette and Ash gladly did. Besides giving each other the 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' looks, the duo also posed for pictures. And a team of enthusiastic members made most of the opportunity. As for the duo, they made themselves scarce once the party was in full swing. But we managed to track them down and witness that kiss: |

Venus Records Ltd. launched the music for the new Salman-Rani starrer, 'Kahin Pyar Ho Na Jaye' in suburban Mumbai a couple of days ago. With some melodious stuff playing out in the background, the party was attended by the star Salman Khan, accompanied by his beau, Aishwarya. Everyone was surprised to see Ash there, especially since the heroine of the film Rani, couldn't make it. Also, Raveena Tandon joined the stars, as did Pooja Batra to launch the music. The lovey-dovey couple that Ash and Salman made, though attracted the maximum attention and the two no longer to appeared to be squeamish about their relationship. Although, they did their best not to make it a public declaration. |

| PARTY FOR E.NIWAS - October, 2000 | |
|
Salman is probably realising that his receding hairline is not going to let him play lover boy for too long so he's sensibly window-shopping for a new image. He's signed a new film with E Niwas, of the Shool fame. He was also Ramgopal Verma's favourite assistant. Sreenu as he's fondly called is being chased by the industry after Shool won the National award. Salman is making sure the world knows that the much sought after Sreenu has chosen him for his next film. He threw a party to celebrate the launch of their film together at May Fair Rooms in Worli, Mumbai. There was a line up of eager heroines too, chatting up the shy and humble Sreenu. Nagma, Shilpa Sheety and sis Shamita, Raveena Tandon and Anupama Verma. Salman the host however spent most of his looking after his family and li'l sis Arpita. Looking good in a blue sleeveless tee and a pair of Levis, it was a rare sight to see Salman pleasant and smiling. Younger brother Sohail had pregnant wife Seema by his side Arbaaz and Malaika were away in Bangkok for work. Raveena Tandon had come to smile at Sreenu, so she did just that while Shilpa Shetty along with sis Shamita having simpered at the director turned their attentions to producer Nitin Manmohan. Ramgopal Verma made a quiet entry, took Sallu to a corner for a chat and made a quiet exit. Nagma looked lovely in her new thinner avatar and gathered more compliments than both the Shetty sisters. Urmila Matondkar turned up with buddy Karan Johar and Manish Malhotra just when half the guests were leaving. Anupama Verma who was partying nearby also dropped in to say hi to Sreenu and Salman. But the sight to see was proud papa Salim Khan hugging Salman non-stop even as Sohail and Co cheered on. With Salman's mom Salma and 'aunty' Helen joining in. Hum Saath Saath Hain? You bet. |
| PARTY FOR E.NIWAS - September 30, 2000 | |
| E.Niwas, the director of "Shool" seems to have benefited greatly from the film and will now be doing a film for Guneet and Sohail productions, the production house run by Salman Khan's brother, Arbaaz and his pal, Guneet or Bunty Walia. The house last produced a flop in 'Hello Brother.' And to launch the film, a party was thrown yesterday at the Mayfair Rooms at Worli. By the Khans and friends for the award winning 'Shool' director, E Niwas. Of course, the press was not much in vision - keeping Sallu's 'love' of the media in mind. No publicity? Some stunt, that! |
| IT RAIDS! - September 26, 2000 | |
|

The producer of the latest Salman Khan-Preity-Rani starrer threw a bash earlier this week at the Centaur, Juhu to celebrate the "success" of the music and that of his film, 'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega.'Like all filmi bashes, this one too started a couple of hours late. While Sajid played the gracious host, hugging everyone around, Preity and he dashed off a little later in to a corner to catch up on the latest gossip, we presume. The good-looking Khan, Salman entered 'just' one and a half hour late clad in a sober white shirt and black jeans and walked straight to the Khan camp where brother Arbaaz waited in a black, see-through shirt. Rani was nowhere to be seen, till about 11:00 p.m and when she did come, there were lots of heads turning as Preity and she got cosy. (Hey, don't you go around getting ideas!) Preity was escorted by beau Marc and refused to let photographers take pix of them together. All that's fine, but was there reason enough to celebrate? Now, that's the question. |

| WILL THE REAL SALMAN STAND UP? - August 12, 2000 | |
|
This man defies description!! Sanjay Leela Bansali has been sheepish about not signing Salman for "Devdas". Remember it was Salman who without any questions believed in the film maker when he was a rank new comer. The biggies did not want to touch Sanjay till "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" - but Salman had had no qualms doing "Khamoshi" for Bansali. Anyway Sanjay has been finding it difficult to even lift the phone to talk to his favorite actor. As soon as Stud Khan came to know of his predicament - He picked up the phone, called Sanjay and congratulated him on the launch of his new movie!!!! This Khan is perplexing!!! |
| SALMAN & ASH - July 11, 2000 | |
|
There are strong RUMOURS in the industry that Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai have got married secretly. While there is no confirmation from either side, our sources state that it was a nikkah ceremony solemnized by a Kazi from Mumbai. The marriage took place in a bungalow at Lonavala and was attended by some very close friends of the couple. Aishwarya converted to Islam. Parents of both, the bride and bridegroom, didn't attend the wedding. The couple is said to have gone to New York for their honeymoon and has returned recently to Mumbai. They were spotted together as they returned and as usual were mobbed for autographs. It is well known that Aishwarya's parents were always averse to the idea of their daughter marrying Salman Khan. Producers of films starring Aishwarya Rai are worried about the fate of their films. |

| HEART OF GOLD! - June, 2000 | |
 |
A little child of four, suffering from cancer, happened to notice Salman's gold studs when he came to pay a visit. He asked if he could see them. Salman snapped them off, put them in the child's hands and told him they were his to keep. |
| FAN FOLLOWING SHOOTS UP IN US! - India Post : May, 2000 | |
| Muscle Khan Salman Khan's fan following in the US has received a quantum boost thanks to his recent US tour. Though the stage performances did include Bobby Deol, Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre and Raveena Tandon, Sallu's bicep-flexing dance numbers had the fans raving for more. So varied was his own performance that supporting dancers found it hard to match up to the different movements of Muscle Khan. Seems like he surfaced all rehearsed for the event and took everyone by surprise. Keep it going, guys!? |

| WHEN BRAWN MEETS BRAWN! - March 08, 2000 | |
| After a rather tame 'Hum Saath-Saath Hai', Sooraj Barjatya's switching tracks to make a muscle bound entertainer with none other than the raging muscle men, Hrithik and Salman. It might turn out to be a great coup for the Rajshri banner considering both leading men are hot property these days. Salman's got David Dhawan's 'Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge' round the corner while Hrithik 'raging' Roshan is on a golden run with his 'Kaho Na ...' still raking in the moolah. The Barjatya project starring the two is untitled we hear. Considering the two have, so far, let go of absolutely no opportunity at flexing their biceps, how about 'Hum Haath Haath Hai' ? |

TASTE THE THUNDER! - January 19,
2000 The last year has been a stupendous one for Salman Khan. Not only did three of his movies (Biwi No.1, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Hum Saath-Saath Hain) end up among the top hits of the year, even his "extra-curricular" activities were tremendously successful. Before you dirty minds think that we are talking of the star's love-life, let us assure you that post-Aishwarya, the hapless guy has apparently lost all interest in his old hobby of skirt-chasing. Sallu bhai now thinks only about work, work and more work. And the result is obvious to all his admirers. To add to his glee, Salman's ads for Thums Up have also been extremely rewarding-the soft-drink has registered a dramatic up-swing in sales ever since the Salman ads have done the rounds. "Taste the thunder" goes the successful catch-line of the ad, and as far as audience reaction is any indication, female fans of the beefcake star have lapped up the bare-bodied antics of the pocket Hercules. Yea, yea, ladies : taste the thunder of the sexy hunk's fab biceps! While Thums Up laughs all the way to the bank!! |
| STILL A TWOSOME! - January 13, 2000 | |
| All those who said Aishwarya and Salman had fallen out will be eating their hearts out. For the buzz has news very much to the contrary. Yes, the starry-eyed duo were actually spotted together on the 31st at a beach in Goa, if the grapevine is to be believed. After setting the screen on fire in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, things seem to have clicked between the Khan and Rai. Well, this particular pairing will certainly be welcomed by the industry with open arms, especially since it also sets the cash registers ringing like crazy. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's vivid colours in the movie seem to have seeped into the actor and actress' lives too. Hopefullly, their dreams will come true soon. Woh dil de chuke sanam? Right? |  |
| BLANKETS TO THE POOR - January 1, 2000 | |
| By the way, Salman Khan celebrated his 34th birthday on 27th December not with pomp and show, but with the poor people of Panvel, 40 kms. away from Bombay. He gifted blankets to them. Father Salim Khan, who has a farm in Panvel, and brother Arbaaz Khan accompanied Salman. |
