‘I wish my efforts won’t go waste’
Amitabh Bachchan is set to make his debut on a fiction TV show with Yudh. With the rising number of channels and shows, he wonders if his efforts will be appreciated.
After decades of working in the entertainment industry, he still wonders if he will be able to strike a chord with TV viewers.
“As you go through the 800-odd TV channels in the country, you often wonder whether with the amount of content that keeps floating around, your own effort would ever be seen or even appreciated,” he said. While many faces from the TV world are trying to find space in films, Big B says he is “doing exactly the opposite and hoping and wishing that efforts made to execute something different, shall be acknowledged.” The entire starcast of the show including Big B will be in the city tomorrow for promoting Yudh.

I intimidate men: Chelsea Handler
American actress Chelsea Handler believes men are intimidated by her. The TV personality has previously dated men like Ted Harbert, Andre Balazs and 50 Cent among others. Asked about whether men are intimidated by her, she replied, “Yes, definitely. But it's none of my concern.”
The 39-year-old agrees it can be problematic in a relationship but she said that she is not going to change aspects of her personality to please somebody else.
“I'm sure it can be, but I'm not going to alter my personality so that men like me more. I've had men who have felt they can handle me but they've turned out to be terrible. There are one or two that I really regret ever dating,” she said.
