Bgosh,will someone please smile? Nowadays,if you want to see a front row of pearls on the tube,you have to wait for Nigella Feasts or Bites,depending on your calorie intake. Gosh,doesnt she just make you want her to feast on you with those lovely,happy teeth?
Shes one of the reasons to watch Travel & Living,quite the most jolly place to be this holiday season or any season. She is plush,luscious,so warm and inviting you wish you could curl up and nestle into her arms. Watching her cook is a sensual pleasure. When she licks the spatula clean of the cake mix shes just prepared,mmmmn,its a Richard Gere-Julia Roberts sort of Pretty Woman moment. Thats what she does: make you fall in love with food.
In Jeet Jayenge Hum,its all about loving your parents (oh yes,one again!). Suman loves her mother and siblings so dearly she doesnt let them do anything for themselves,other than those bodily functions which each of us has to perform for ourselves. It is one idyllic family. Then the mother began to cough and couldnt stop while the father was soundly thrashed by the bad guys. And when we say soundly,we mean we heard the slap resound against his cheek like clashing cymbals. Next week,Suman and her siblings will probably be orphaned. Do you really want to watch?
More complaints. Its been said before but obviously no one is listening: how often can you watch Indra the Tiger? This film is telecast 365 days weve heard of daily shows but this is ridiculous. Unfortunately,there are others like this Tiger. Now repeat after me,A is for Amitabh B (Natwarlal on Sunday ),B is for Bhoonath or Bheja Fry or Border ,G is for Golmaal,J is Jab We Met (could it be anything else?) and K is for a Karan Johar film (Sunday afternoon it was Kuch Kuch Hota Hai). Honestly,cant we get fresh releases,around here? At least Colors tried with Delhi 6???
As for Shah Rukh Khan,we have seen his future and it looks like a white Christmas. In his latest Dish TV commercial,hes an elderly gentleman. Saw what Aamir Khan may resemble when hes old and grey,too,as he appeared in disguise on NDTV,promoting his 3 Idiots. Have to say,both look rather more fetching as they are.
Lastly,Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayenge is the next swayamvara you may (not) want to watch (NDTV Imagine). That depends on whether you like men and specifically Rahul with lipstick,not on the collar,but on the lips. We did not. Rahul Mahajan is the male Rakhi Sawant famous for being celebrity. Hell be choosing himself a bride from amongst the pretty damsels seen in promos for the show. For some inexplicable reason they are dancing. Getting rather confused: with Nigella you know the way to a womans heart is through the stomach,but in Rahuls case,could it be feet first?
