What a crazy month it’s been! Tons of your favorite stars have been in town and me and the crew have been there to get you all the exclusives!
First up, I caught up with Punjabi superstar DILJIT DOSANJH who was promoting his latest film role in PUNJAB 1984. The role is a far cry from his usual romantic-comedies. If you are a fan of his work, get ready to be blown away by how different he appears in the film. Warning: have your tissues ready!
I then had the opportunity to meet a legend from the Bollywood world…you may know her as DREAM GIRL or you may know her as HEMA MALINI. Yes, HEMA MALINI.
I was stunned to hear the legendary actress, dancer, and now politician was in town to star in her own live theatre production of DURGA. Upon meeting her, I can definitely say she is ageless. She looked youthful and sharp and even though I know she had a grueling busy schedule with rehearsals, interviews, travel, etc, she had and amazing amount of energy. I’m still kind of in shock that I actually got to meet HEMA MALINI.
P.S Did you know she discovered Shahrukh Khan? YUP! She spotted him as a small time TV serial actor and thought he was perfect to be cast in a film she was producing at the time, DIL AASHNA HAI. Amazing right?
From Bollywood actresses to Bollywood singing stars, next up I interviewed the talented (and funny!) musical duo VISHAL-SHEKHAR. The guys were a blast to interview. Now only are they humble and sweet but they aren’t afraid to have some fun and be cheeky. In the media world, that is soooooo appreciated! They had a live concert and brought with them as a special guest, Neeti Mohan. Neeti is seriously one of the sweetest girls I have met. In fact, we chatted a ton off camera like any two young women. We talked fashion, exchanged beauty tips (she does her own makeup at her concerts!), and even chatted about food. Yup, we are both foodies! She and I got along so well that I almost forgot what a powerful voice she has until I went to the concert and she opened up the show belting out her biggest hits including my favorite song, ISHQ WALA LOVE. Love her!!!
Neeti Mohan, VISHAL-SHEKHAR
Whew! There you have it, just a peek into how crazy busy I have been covering all the events and people that matter to you. Don’t forget to catch all the action on ATN!
Cheers!
