<p><strong><span style="color: red">Namak Halal:</span></strong> This is undoubtedly one of the funniest movies I remember watching. The Big B's character of a country bumpkin is hilarious. <br /><br />

<p><strong><span style="color: red">Maine Pyar Kiya:</span></strong> Salmanu00a0 Khan is adorable, so is Bhagyashree but the best is the kabootar. I have watched it umpteen times. The music is so hummable. All the girls in my class had this huge crush on Salman when the film released.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: red">Pakeezah:</span></strong> It was the lovely Meena Kumari from start to finish. I felt a sense of sadness on learning that it was chronic alcoholism that killed her in fact she was too ill to perform in some of the scenes in Pakeezah, necessitating a body double. <br /><br />It remains one of the greatest tragedies of Indian cinema that I have seen.<br />Godfather 1: Ah!u00a0 Marlon Brando. A chilling movie about the mafia and it's one that stays with you forever.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: red">Mughal-e-azam:</span></strong> I remember seeing this movie with my mother when I was in school. I wept a lot while watching it the sadness of unrequitted love. It gives me the chills even now. <br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red">Gown and Out</span></strong><br /><br />We don't like this new fashion trend. These shapeless ensembles should only be worn at the Rajneesh ashram (Mughda Godse) or at a party in Japan (Sushmita Sen). <br /><br />

From around the same time his blog (aamirkhan.com/blog) remains unavailable. <br /><br />

K is surely keeping her docs busy.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red">Royal touch</span></strong><br /><br />Fashion actor Arjan Bajwa had a brush with royalty recently. He was among the special guests invited to an event in Paris organised by Princess Fay Jehanara, who belongs to the royal family of Iran. The princess was married to the late great grandson of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. <br /><br />

Guests at the event included Harrods owner Mohammed Al Fayed and the French President Nicolas Sarkozy's wife Carla Bruni.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red">Imran has OCD<br /></span></strong><br />If you ever sit with Imran Khan for a meal, you'll be amazed at the thoroughness with the way he cleans his plates, spoons and forks multiple times before digging into food. <br /><br />

Apparently, girlfriend Avantika has been trying to get rid of the habit, but hasn't quite been successful so far! Don't you just love quirky people? Normal is soooooooooo boring.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red">Koko kicks butt<br /></span></strong><br />After talking about it for months Konkona Sen Sharma has finally kicked the butt. A close friend reveals that Koko has stopped smoking since the last few weeks. <br /><br />

A source reveals, "Koko had set aside a date for herself to quit smoking and has stuck to her resolution." <br /><br />Former health minister Anbumani Ramadoss should give her an award. He was always trying to get actors to quit smoking on-screen, she has given up smoking even off-screen.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: red">RAZA'S BOLLYWOOD </span><br /><span style="color: red">How would a doctor describe shiney ahuja's sexuality?</span><br /><span style="color: red">'Bai'sexual.</span></strong><br /><a href="mailto:razamuradonly@hotmail.com">razamuradonly@hotmail.com</a></p>
