Sachin Tendulkar takes oath as Rajya Sabha MP


New Delhi: Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar started his new innings on Monday taking oath as a Rajya Sabha member in the chambers of RS Chairperson Hamid Ansari. Sachin is the first active sportsperson and cricketer to have been nominated to the Rajya Sabha under the Prominent Citizens Quota.
Sachin was nominated to the Upper House along with film actress Rekha and industrialist Anu Aga in April, but had to wait to take his oath until the end of IPL season 5.
The nomination of Sachin had sparked a political slugfest with the opposition parties questioning the timing of the move by the government. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena had said that the timing of the nomination suggests that it is aimed at distracting attention from scams.
Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare congratulated Sachin and appealed to him to raise voice against corruption. "We welcome and congratulate him. Sachin should raise his voice against corruption and also against those who are not in favour of Lokpal. We will keep supporting him outside," Anna said.
World chess champion Viswanathan Anand on Saturday said that Sachin serving as a Rajya Sabha member would be a big step in his life and wished the cricket legend to enjoy his new role. "I hope he (Tendulkar) enjoys his role and he is able to do it very well. It's a big step for him and I think he will enjoy it," Anand said.
Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that his senior teammate Sachin Tendulkar will make a contribution as a Rajya Sabha member also. "This (Rajya Sabha) is a new avenue for him and I am sure he will do well and contribute there also," Dhoni said.

Ghanchakkar - Emraan Hashmi-Vidya Balan’s New Movie


It sounds as if Raj Kumar Gupta’s next film, touted to be a comic thriller, has some resemblance to the controversial Imran Khan-starrer

Director Abhinav Deo’s Delhi Belly released amidst a lot of controversy, especially thanks to the ‘DK Bose’ song. Aamir Khan went all out to promote the small-budget film and it eventually went on to be one of biggest hits to date for his production house. The film was bold and was the starting point of a new genre – comic thriller. The Emraan Hashmi-Vidya Balan film Ghanchakkar is said to be another of this kind.
After the grim issue-based No One Killed Jessica, director Raj Kumar Gupta’s next is a comic thriller in which Emraan and Vidya are playing a married couple. An official statement says, “The film stars Emraan Hashmi as a lazy man with a taste for the finer things in life, and Vidya as his ambitious wife, a woman with her own notions about the world. After making a bad decision, the couple encounters two thugs, one with a bad illness and the other with a bad attitude.”
Doesn’t this plot sound similar to that of Delhi Belly, the only difference being that here the bunch of men has been replaced by a couple? Wethinks this could be an interesting film and we can blankly trust Vidya’s choice of work. She will be seen playing a quirky Punjabi woman in Ghanchakkar. And after the way she and Emraan vibed onscreen in The Dirty Picture, we have great expectations of this one!

Aishwarya Rai's daughter Aaradhya's photos hit on net

The Bachchans have not released the pictures ofAishwarya Rai Bachchan's daughter Aaradhya even after six months after her birth. They have struggled a lot to keep them away from the hands of media men. But a leading Indian English daily has recently managed to click a couple of photos of the baby. 

The English daily claims that it has unleashed the Aaradhya exclusive photos on the internet. These pictures have been snapped at the Nice-Cote d’Azur International airport, while she was returning home after visiting the Cannes Film Festival. The photos show Aishwarya Rai holding Aaradhya in her arms. 

The picture is taken from a little distance and Aaradhya's face is not clear in it as Aishwarya is cuddling her. Aish has donned a black dress, while her daughter dressed in a pink baby suit and wearing a traditional bracelet with black and gold beads. The actress is protectively tucked in her arms to evade flashlights. 

However, the photos of Aaradhya have been in great demand ever since her birth. Several international magazines approached the Bachchans and asked for rights for the pictures quoting 15 to 20 million dollars. But the Bachchans declined to sell them and they made it clear that they did not want to share them.
