0 comments Posted by Baserolo at 1:23 AM
Juggling between Chennai and Bangalore, actress Bhavana Rao seems to be having the time of her life now. With two films in Tamil and one in Kannada, the Gaalipatta actor is happy with the way her career is shaping up. What’s more? She is glad to have had the opportunity to experiment with different kinds of roles too.
The actress, who is currently shooting in Chennai for Padam Parthu Kathai Sollu says, “I’ve just done a couple of films in Kannada and Tamil. Yet, I believe that my career is just starting off. I am more than happy to be experimenting with different roles at this point.”
Padam Parthu... is in its final stage of production and may see a release next month. The film, directed by Benjamin Prabhu, is an action-cum-romantic movie. Bhavana plays the role of a bubbly tourist photographer, while Tarun plays her love interest. The actor says that her upcoming film Odi Va is what will portray her in a different light. “I am playing a rather serious role in the film for the first time in my career. The film traces the journey of a girl and the traumas that she has to deal with right through. I play the protagonist, and had a tough time shooting for the emotional sequences. Initially, in order to cry, I used a lot of glycerin. But over the days, tears just came automatically while shooting the scenes. So much so, that I even went into depression,” informs the actress.
Nevertheless, these are the kind of roles that she wants to experiment with, says Bhavana. “These roles help me push my limits and prove myself as an actor. Challenging roles are what I want to experiment with.” The actor is also excited about her next Kannada film, Veerapan’s Attahasa, that is being directed by AMR Ramesh. “The role which I am essaying is inspired by a real-life female gangster who was a close aid of the infamous Veerapan. I’ve heard that she lives in Bangalore now. I am looking forward to meet her as well, for it would be great if I get the opportunity to talk to her,” she signs off.
Riya Sen helped her co star Sasha Goradia of her upcoming film Tere Mere Phere from a disaster. Sasha who is debuting in the film was to do her hair and make up quickly because Deepa Sahi was ready with her shot. 
In the mad rush situation her hair got burnt because spot forgot to switch off hair straightening machine.
The bad weather, burnt hair and a waiting director put her in crisis that she almost broke down. That's when Riya Sen came to her rescue. When the word reached Riya, she asked Sasha to calm down and with some quick handy hair styling tips.
She asked her stylist to apply her mousse and give some nice curls instead to the burnt hair. Taking cue stylist created an entirely new and stunning look that made Sasha smile at herself. She was so relieved she couldnt stop thanking Riya. When asked Sasha says, I was shattered at first I didnt know what to do. But all thanks to Riya that she helped me in this situation. This was learning experience for me I got to learn so much from her even the secret to her beauty. She indeed is a gem of a person when it comes to helping co-stars.
Bangalore, Aug 9 (IANS) Top southern actress Nayanthara has converted from Christianity to Hinduism, say sources close to the Arya Samaj, even as she herself maintains a studied silence on the issue.
Nayanthara, born and brought up as Diana Mariam Kurian, was a born Christian. She changed her name because of her foray into films.
She reportedly converted to Hinduism Sunday morning at the Arya Samaj Temple in Chennai, the sources said, adding she has retained her name Nayanthara.
Some see it as a step towards her impending marriage to actor-director Prabhu Deva who divorced his earlier wife, a Muslim and did not change her religion at the time of marriage.
Nayanthara is tightlipped. Asked about her marriage, she says: 'No comments.'
On Sunday morning, the actress reportedly headed straight to the Arya Samaj Temple on Waltax Road.
She went through all the religious processes as per the scriptures. All the procedures of 'Shuddhi Karma', a procedure involving Vedic purification, were meticulously followed, say the sources close to Arya Samaj.
They also added that a 'homan' or fire ritual was held where Nayantara chanted hymns and the Sankeerthan Mantra.
Incidentally, the members of Prabhu Deva's family are devotees of the Suttur Mutt in Mysore. His parents are devotees of Male Mahadeshwara Swamy.
The sources said Nayanthara left soon after the purification ceremony. A certificate of conversion to Hinduism was issued to her. The actress flew back to Kochi by an evening flight.
It is reported that her parents have expressed their opposition to Nayanthara's desire to convert to Hinduism.
Nayanthara's last film 'Ramayana', directed by veteran director Bapu, was completed only a few days ago.
Nayanthara who plays Sita's role in the film became emotional on the last day of her shoot and even lay prostrate before all the elders in the unit, including the octogenarian director Bapu.
Nayanthara says her decision to convert to Hinduism is purely personal.
'Yes, I have become a Hindu and it's my own personal decision. I went through the entire ceremony with passion and conviction,' she is believed to have told a friend.
She sports a tattoo of Prabhu Deva on her body. The couple were also seen in some film related functions together.
