Aamir Khan -Bollywood’s best actor ???

And when Aamir Khan’s nephew Imran makes this statement, you can have no doubts as to who he is referring to…

Imran Khan is taller at 5′11, and he’s got a leaner, softer and dreamier look. Whereas Aamir Khan, his famous uncle, well if you’ve seen him lately, gives every indication of going the Mike Tyson way.

He’s raw energy and all chunky, rippling muscle; very intense, yet without Iron Mike’s crazy killer expression.

But Aamir has got into the skin of a role. He’s in character for his new action film Ghajini.

And as nephew Imran, a keen follower of the Aamir Khan method of acting, puts it, “Maamu doesn’t act, he understands the character, gets a grasp on what he’s supposed to do, and then just flows.”

Aamir has produced Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, but he’s not acting in it, and nor is he launching Imran.

“If I wanted to present Imran with anything, I’d give him a car, not a film,” says Aamir with a touch of exasperation.

But, yes, Aamir is very interested in how Imran’s role is shaping up.

He was generous enough to share Imran’s first photograph with his fans on his blog recently. Till then, nobody outside Bollywood had seen his nephew.

Saif Ali Khan - Here comes the cover ‘man’

With Kareena Kapoor being the reigning cover queen, how could beau Saif Ali Khan be left behind? So, now we have Nawab Khan on the covers of the latest edition of the lifestyle magazine ‘Man’s World’.

The dition has Saif tlak about his life and more about his career, the parameters that he considers while signing a film, the vibes et al, his 3-part career path, his films gone by, his kind of roles, his world-famous tattoo and much more!

Going by the killer looks of Saif Ali Khan, one does wonder who is luckier among Saif and Kareena. Saif for getting Kareena as his arm candy or Kareena for having Saif in her grip?

SRK dug-out row: Modi clarifies

NEW DELHI: Indian Premier League chairman Lalit Modi clarified the IPL stance on owners in dug-outs. ( Watch )

Lalit Modi said there are four visitors passes to meet the team in the dug-outs. These are given by the manager or the coach of the team to anyone they want to give access to for 15 minutes.

He also said, "There's another batch in red colour which is for one owner to have an all-time access to the dressing room and players' dug-outs".

Earlier there were reports that said BCCI had made it clear that ICC's rules shall be followed by on-going Indian Premier League following ICC's intervention regarding Team Kolkata owner Shah Rukh Khan's conduct. ( Watch: ‘SRK must follow rules’ )

BCCI further said that no exception shall be made for anybody and apart from players no one is allowed on dug out. IPL will take a final decision on the matter later on Monday and will send a circular to this effect, according to a news channel report.

ICC also asked BCCI to question KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan about his conduct during IPL matches.

Meanwhile, Team Kolkata CEO Joy Bhattacharya said that it is difficult to keep SRK out from the dug out and these rules does not apply on team owners. He further said that the issue can be sorted out harmoniously with ICC.

On Sunday night, Shah Rukh Khan expressed disappointment at the ICC Anti Corruption Unit barring him from going to the team dug out and dressing room in the remaining matches.

"I like to hang around with the boys. I am very energetic. I am very disappointed that the ICC has stopped me. I don't know the ICC rules. I'll tell only one thing. Nobody dare stop me from coming to Kolkata. I'll be here whenever my team plays a match at the Eden," Khan said.

Earlier, the Anti Corruption Unit officials had cautioned the actor about going into the dressing room and the team dug out during the Indian Premier League match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings.

Sources said later they directed the matinee idol to stay away from these areas in the remaining matches of his team.

Asked about the Knight Riders' defeat against the Chennai side, he said, "You play the game to win. We feel sad when the boys lose. But such things happen.

"I work hard. I want them to work harder. I would have liked the Kolkata Knight Riders to reach the final," he said.

On the Knight Riders' success as a brand, SRK said "With the help of colleagues we've done something for this. Still there is a long way to go before it becomes the number one sporting brand".

Khan said he was overwhelmed by the response of the Kolkata public and conceded the gate sales had fetched him twice the amount he had expected.

On Sunday, he was told to keep a 'safe distance' from his team. The Anti-Corruption Unit of the ICC asked the KKR owner that he should not be in the player's dressing room or their dugout just beyond the boundary. "I've been told it's got something to do with ICCs Code of Conduct," SRK himself informed on Sunday evening in response to a question during a media conference. "I’ve been made to believe its anti anti-corruption."

Shah Rukh, who is usually seen cheering the Knights in the company of his group of celebrities from the terraces of the BC Roy Club House at the Eden Gardens, has of late been making it to the dugout at the ground. The Bollywood matinee idol has been with his 'boys' in the dressing room, by his own admission very discreetly and only with the permission of coach John Buchanan, but now that door will be shut for him.

Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan - The dog-blog controversy

The blog business gets dirty once again. Not long back Aamir Khan had said, “I would like to ask Shah Rukh, how it feels to be No.2.” Then, SRK had taken it in a good spirit and once again, SRK proves that he has no time or interest in the game of words.

Read an excerpt from Aamir Khan’s blog which goes as, “”Shah Rukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?

Now, before you jump to any conclusions let me add that Shah Rukh is the name of our dog. And before you jump to any further conclusions let me add that I had nothing to do with naming him. In fact Shah Rukh is the dog of the caretakers of our house. When I bought this house it came with the caretakers and their dog! Apparently Shah Rukh (the actor) was shooting for a commercial in this house a few years ago, and that very day the caretakers bought a pup…, and named him Shah Rukh. What are the chances of me buying a house which comes with a dog called Shah Rukh!!!

Some of my friends claim that I bought the house just because of the dog. I would have to be a serious fan of Shah Rukh’s to want to do that. Your guess…”

Even before signing off from his blog he takes one final dig at the Baadshah of Bollywood by saying, “Well Shah Rukh is once again begging for my attention, so let me get back to him. He is smelling too much, I think he needs a bath. “Heel boy, heel.”

On this Shahrukh again proves his maturity by choosing to close the controversy instead of bloating it. Says the King Khan of Bollywood:

“Moving towards blogs is a way towards joining the journalist fraternity, I love journalists but I am an actor and would like to keep it that way.”

Shahrukh brushes aside all controversies by commenting:

“Hum log hum umar hai — main, Salman, Aamir. Aur hum jab milte hain toh is se bhi ajeeb batein karte hai. (All three of us — Salman, Aamir and me are the same age and when we meet, we talk stranger stuff than this.) I have to take it with a sense of humour and I do have a sense of humour. If I can do it with others, then I should accept it.”

We guess that with SRK’s cool reaction like this, there could not be a better end to this dog-blog controversy. What say, pals?
