Amir-kh

With the news about Sachin Tendulkar at the Madame Tussauds just a few days old, speculations are rife as to who the next entrant would be. And media as usual is agog with the buzz that it would most probably be the ’Perfectionist’ Khan, Aamir Khan . Even Bobby Khan, who manages the Bollywood section in London, as well as the Indian franchise of the museum (under Bobby Khan Holdings), has gone on record to say that Aamir would indeed be the first choice. However what everyone conveniently forgot was that Aamir had refused to be waxed when the offer was made to him a year or so back.

Well, those with sharp memories and a keen interest in Bollywood affairs would remember that after the unveiling of Shah Rukh Khan’s statue in London, Aamir Khan was offered to be waxed, and he refused. Sources close to Aamir Khan (read relatives) cited personal beliefs (about being made into statue!) as the reason behind the refusal!

However, it remains to be seen whether Aamir would give in to the temptation this time, and especially if his name comes up in a poll /consensus, as Bobby Khan has planned.

May be Aamir would say yes to keep his fans and those who vote for his statue to be waxed happy. But this is hypothetical and it remains to be seen as to how things would unfold. Till that time keep tuned to your favourite portal for more on the subject.

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan went out of his way to cheer Preity Zinta’s team Kings XI Punjab ahead of the upcoming IPL tournament.

Preity Zinta ’s IPL team is not in the best of spirits. Since it has quite a few Sri Lankan players, the team may be feeling a bit demoralized due to the recent terrorist attack on them. Add to it the disappointment of the tournament’s venue being shifted to South Africa. However, Preity knows how to boost the team’s morale.

“Preity had called last evening for a request – her IPL team was hugely depressed and she was wondering if I could do a small TV bite to cheer them up. I did that and I hope it makes them happy,” Amitabh posted on his blog.

Mr. Bachchan is very fond of Preity and she, too, shares an excellent rapport with the Bachchans. Not only has she acted with Big B in films like The Last Lear , Veer Zaara and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna , she went out of her way to be part of the Bachchan troupe when they went on a world tour last year.

Big B added on his blog that cricket has occupied a greater place in people’s lives ever since the Twenty20 craze began.

“Cricket has become so big and important. And the T20 series, now shifted to South Africa due to security concerns and concerns of its reflection on the elections, is a sheer delight,” Mr. Bachchan wrote on his blog.

The second season of the IPL begins on April 18 in South Africa.
