Celebrities At the Rally at Gateway of India to Protest Mumbai Terror Attacks

Several Television and Film personalities participated in the peace rally organised at Gateway of India to protest against terror attacks on Mumbai on Wednesday Night.

One week after the terrorist attack on Mumbai, non-politicians formed a rally towards Gateway of India to Salute NSG. It's great to see the rising india there. The place was surronded by Young energy along with the senior citizens.

Some Reactions From Bollywood On the Mumbai Terror Attack

Ashish Chowdhary
In The Darkest Hour - Aashish Chaudhary

Among the many Mumbaikars, who went around searching for their loved ones on the night after terrorists struck, was Ashish Chowdhary who went to Trident Hotel last morning to search for his sister who was trapped inside the hotel. He waited outside the hotel like many others, in vain. We spoke the actor around 7:30 pm and he had still no news of his sister.
Update at 04:00 PM: Actor Ashish Chowdhury's sister, who was among those trapped in the Trident Hotel standoff, dies in the hotel.

Some Bollywood Personalities React On the Mumbai Terror Attack

Imtiaz Ali
“It's time for us to understand that we can't be scared. This happened to us because we have taken it lying down each time. And we raise no questions, we are letting all this happen to us. We need to question the people in power and take responsibility ourselves to bring the right people to power. What has happened to the city is completely unimaginable. Instead of pointing fingers and finding faults, we need to wake up and take charge of the situation, nipping the problem at
the bud.”

Mahesh Bhatt
“Terrorism is here to stay and that is the grim reality we have to face. And if we thought it happened only in Afghanistan or Pakistan, and that we were wellprotected, that delusion has now crumbled. We now have to face the fact that terror is also in Vile Parle. We have to understand that our politicians are singularly incapable of restoring peace, and that by choosing to be a war tool of the US, we are paying a very high price. The only peace we will now see is the peace between wars. Let me tell you, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Rohan Sippy
Rohan Sippy's My President is Coming, which was due to release today, has been postponed indefinitely owing to the unrest caused by the terrorist attacks. Rohan had to even stop the special preview of the film midway on Wednesday at Fame Adlabs, Andheri. Rohan Sippy said, “I am yet to come to terms with what has happened. Watching a heritage hotel like the Taj burning
(on television) was heartbreaking.”

Rahul Bose: Enough! We don't have 9 lives
The absence of duty on part of the politicians is the sole reason for this tragedy. We don't need new terror laws to stop a ship-full of grenades and guns from entering our city, we simply need to do our job well. We get frisked and our cars get checked, but how did these terrorists waltz into these hotels with AK47s? Why is our anti-terror plan not in place? This is the largest psychologically damaging blow on our city, but we will recover, simply because we have no choice. But, the time has come to ask for another choice. The people are not going to tolerate an event of such intensity, again. Politicians should not take us for granted. We are not gifted with nine lives.

Pooja Bedi: Please Implement Enough is Enough now
The city has been subjected to non-stop acts of violence, first by political parties like the Shiv Sena and the MNS and now by armed terrorists. I wish the government had taken a stand a long time back, stating that enough is enough and taking appropriate action against the perpetrators of violent acts. However, it's never too late for the government to implement this slogan — starting now.

Suchitra Krishnamurthy: We need better-trained security
It's deplorable! The government is not equipped to handle a handful of terrorists. I am not discounting people who have worked hard, kudos to them. But we need better-trained security personnel.

Shilpa Shetty To Play Protima Bedi in an Indo-Chinese Venture

The bold and the beautiful

Shilpa Shetty has been signed up to play Protima Bedi, the late model-cum-Odissi danseuse, for an Indo-Chinese venture

Shilpa Shetty is all set to play the most challenging role of her career - the late Protima Bedi, an Odissi danseuse-cum-model. The film is an Indo-Chinese production which is taking shape secretly behind closed doors. According to sources, Shilpa was the first and the only natural choice to play Protima Bedi. A source said, “In terms of body language and facial resemblance, Shilpa came closest to Protima Bedi. Also the people behind the project felt that Shilpa has tremendous untapped potential and hence was apt to play the role.” Protima was Kabir Bedi’s first wife and Pooja Bedi and Siddharth’s mother. Considering the challenge in portraying Protima Bedi, who led a colourful and rebellious life, Shilpa has already begun preparation for the part. We hear that she has been secretly learning the classical dance form of Orissa, Odissi, from one of Protima Bedi’s teachers and is also reading up extensively on the lady, who died prematurely at the age of 40.


The film is in English and directed by the award-winning Malayalam director, Sarath Kumar. It will be shot in Kuala Lumpur, Kerala, Bangalore and Nrityagram — Protima’s dance academy on the outskirts of Bangalore, in December.
