Yusuf Husain’s revelations on Sach Ka Saamna
WHEN Yusuf Hussain came on the reality show Sach Ka Saamna,everyone expected him to be the nice old man of 60. But it turns out that this man has a past not many of us would be proud of. “Have you ever had sex with a relative?” “Yes.” “Have you had sex with a woman younger than your daughter Safeena?” “Yes.” “Have you ever had sex with a prostitute?” “Yes.” “Do you have a child out of wedlock?” “Yes.” “He was a perfect case of how looks can be deceptive. And it was this episode that started all the controversies about the show,” says Tarini Rao,a regular viewer. We understand the urge to win money by speaking the truth,but sometimes a little lie doesn’t hurt.

KRK crying on Bigg Boss
When Deshdrohi released,Kamaal Rashid Khan had the nation in a tizzy with his antics. The shiny leather jackets,the gun locket and his claims of being a millionaire,made him popular instantly among the masses. So it was quite a dampener to see the same ‘macho man’ crying and howling in the Bigg Boss house. “Firstly,I don’t know why he was asked to re-enter the house. And secondly,no matter how much he cries,nobody is going to sympathise with him,” says Pooja Nath,a regular viewer of Bigg Boss. Looks like tearjerkers don’t impress the audience much.

Shweta Tiwari in a bikini on Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao
IT is true that it is the year of the bikini,with everyone from Kareena Kapoor to Deepika Padukone sporting one in their movies. But then why does one forget that one needs to have the body to flaunt it,or at least the attitude. When Shweta Tiwari sported one in the jungles of Malaysia on this reality show,everyone’s jaw dropped,in dismay. “We had seen her as Prerna Bajaj in Kasauti Zindagi Kay wearing beautiful saris. It was shocking to see someone as classy as her sporting a bikini which didn’t even fit her well,” says Maya Pandey,a viewer,who feels she could have spared us the disturbing sight.

Rani Mukerji in a sweater dress on 10 Ka Dum
RANI Mukerji’s release for the year Dil Bole Hadippa had her resort to all kinds of promotional stunts to improve her chances at the box office. On one such promotional event she reached the sets of 10 Ka Dum,in a dress which looked like a sweater she had outgrown and,what’s worse,she was wearing ‘only’ the sweater. Supriya Nair,who was present on the sets says,“I have always admired Rani for the actress she is,but she left us stunned with her outfit. Even Salman Khan commented something on the lines that she had purchased this in her childhood,but got to wear it today.” Laugh out loud.
