‘Bobby Jasoos is a cult movie’
Actress-producer Dia Mirza feels women-centric films in Bollywood are mostly one-sided but things are now changing. She also said that there is a scope for such movies to be presented as wholesome entertainers for a larger audience.
“Heroines have always been an essential part of films but their portrayal in cinema is not a much explored subject. Actresses are added primarily for glamour quotient,” she said. “Women-dominated films have a long history in Bollywood, but Bobby Jasoos, a spy-thriller centered around a female detective (Vidya Balan), attempts to break into a domain until now largely occupied by male actors,” she said.The first look of Vidya, dressed as a male beggar with beard and ragged hair, and unveiled a few weeks ago caught everyone's attention.
I've realised I have to be very careful in what I say. I speak my heart out. Such honesty is not appreciated in the film industry. Instead, it is twisted and distorted. A lot of what I say is lost in translation. It was director’s idea to make me wear bikini

Actor Aaron Paul says that he has never had an argument with his wife lauren Parsekian. TheBreaking Bad star married Parsekian last May and Paul says that they prefer to talk through their problems and deal with them together. “People get in fights because they don't communicate, you don't want to hurt the other person. If you do want to hurt the other person, then shame on you,” he said.
When Kylie snubbed ‘sex’
Singer Kylie Minogue suffered a crisis while putting together her new album when she realised three of the songs had the word “sex” in the title. The Australian singer is preparing to release her 12th studio album, Kiss Me Once, this month but admits she had a meltdown during its creation over fears that the record's theme was becoming too saucy. Minogue credits her producer, Sia Furler, with guiding her over the decision. “I tried to get rid of one title with ‘sex’ in it but there was a point in recording when there were no songs like that. There was (single) Into The Blue and more romantic songs, but nothing hot. But Sia said I couldn't change it, and ‘We've got to go with what's right'. So there they are — we are not obsessed with sex or anything,” she said.Kiss Me Once features all three of the “sex” tracks — Sexy love, Sexercize and les Sex.
