Elizabeth Taylor, the Hollywood icon who recently passed away had a strong India-Connection. Liz was an ardent follower of the disgraced godman, Chandraswami. She met Chandraswami in one of his numerous trips to the US when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Those were the hay-days of Chandraswami and he had powerful friends across the globe. Chandraswami, a Tantric was also known as a healer besides being the wheeler-dealer he was popularly known as. Elizabeth Taylor met the fraud Swami for his ‘Healing’ touch.
Tantric powers of Chandraswami probably worked on Liz Taylor or probably it was just a coincidence. After Swami’s healing touch, Taylor’s breast cancer reportedly came under control. Since then Elizabeth Taylor had blind faith on Chandraswami and people close to Swami say that she called the Swami every year on his birthday, even last year. Poor Swami is left with only Adnan Kashoggi amongst his famous global friends.
Now Chandraswami has fallen from grace thanks to all his scrupulous deals but he has a lone Bollywood disciple in Preity Zinta. Preity met him last year at the Kumbh in Haridwar. Oh, even Neetu Chandra is a Chandraswami disciple. But hey, neither Preity, nor Neetu Chandra can remotely be what the iconic Liz Taylor was. Poor Swami, what a fall!
Folks I don’t know if you remember, when I was with HT City, I wrote about Akash Aurora (apparently a buddy of Lalit Modi) of Netlink who bought the digital rights of IPL2 and also sponsored Kings XI and defaulted in paying both, BCCI for the Digital Rights and KXI for sponsorship. Akash Arora of Netlink was also partying around with Preity Zinta in Las Vegas last year and in fact flew her there in style – in a private jet. There were buzz of romance brewing between Akash and Zinta.
But my question is when he is a defaulter of KingsXI, why was Preity Zinta partying with Aurora in Las Vegas and returned to Mumbai with a very slutty hairdo with fringe and all? When I saw her at HDIL Couture Week last year in the slutty hairstyle, my Editor asked me to do a piece on it. Madam Zinta was furious and next when she spotted me at Couture Week, she fumed, “What have you got against me?” I said, “Nothing at all. But I like this hairdo (She actually got rid of that slutty look)”.
Hope Zinta and Akash Aurora didn’t make a settlement of dues without the knowledge of Ness, Mohit and Karan… Everything is possible guys in the big-bad game called IPL. Now that sleuths are investigating on the Netlink deal too, loads will come out.
Preity and Akash Aurora are thick buddies and Akash to take revenge on me fed Preity Zinta about some substance abuse story that some websites carried and blamed me to be the person who originated it. Wah…Kya Dosti!
Sanjana Jon never fails to catch a Bakra. This time the Bakra is none other than the affable Boman Irani.
Not long ago Sanjana would go gaga over Salma Bhai (Salman Khan). The superstar even walked the ramp for Sanjana who showcased the most horrendous collection I have ever seen. Post that Salman Bhai decided to cut all links with Sanjana Jon. Last month when Salman, Sohail and Arbaaz Khan were in Delhi to launch the music album of Dabangg with Sajid-Wajid, Sanjana and her mother, Sashi gatecrashed to do. However Arbaaz Khan, the producer of Dabangg asked the security to throw Sanjana and her mom before the Press Con started. This happened in front of the media. Still our manipulative Sanjana clung on to Music Director, Wajid and got clicked.
Recently I heard from reliable sources that the Tihar Jail administration is upset with Ms. Jon. She did some fashion show for the Tihar inmates and managed to do some bungling there too. I heard the Jail Administration will lodge a complain.
Poor Boman Irani is now entrapped in Sanjana Jon’s malicious schemes. Shouldn’t somebody warn Boman? I think Boman should have a chat with Sallu. God save Boman bhai!
JP Singh’s luck ran out again. After spending quiet some time behind the bars at Tihar for Medical College Scam, JP was picked up by the Kolkata Crime Branch around a fortnight back for some case pending there.
Wonder what game JP played in Kolkata!
Even the desi designer duo did not lose the chance to make money out of CWG. For the opening and closing ceremony, the cultural committee had lined up a fashion show too to showcase India’s rich culture to the world. Hence bids were submitted. Sumit Nair proposed a Mega Show with Tarun Tahiliani and Rohit Bal, two of India’s best know designers. The proposal was an expensive one worth Rs. 1 Crore. But subsequently Nair brought down the figure to Rs. 38 Lacs.
FDCI presented a multi-designer show including top names like Sabyasachi, Manish Arora, Pratap, JJ Valaya and few more and quoted the expense figure at Rs. 18Lacs. But when OC of CWG cribbed about lack of funds, FDCI offered to do it free by bringing in a Corporate Sponsor.
But what happened finally? A designer duo got the show and a huge sanction of Rs. 55 Lakhs to do the show during opening ceremony as well as the Closing ceremony.
FDCI quoted ‘Free of Cost’ fashion show with multiple top designers of India. Sumit Nair’s Company proposed a show with top names – Gudda and Tahiliani for Rs.38Lakhs. A designer duo quoted Rs. 55Lakhs and got it. What kind of economics the Organising Committee of the Common Wealth Games follow? I truly believe that the Common Wealth Games is treated as Personal Wealth Accumulating Games by Kalmadi and his dubious cronies.
