Gul Panag speaks about Hello10.09.08

Gul Panag’s early roles did not bode well for a future career as a ’serious’ actress. Making her screen debut in Dhoop opposite Sanjay Suri, then committing a Jurm with Bobby Deol. So it was a surprise to most, especially the critics who said that she was all face n figure, no acting ability at all, when, in 2006, she made a sudden and decisive return with Nagesh Kukunoor’s highly acclaimed Dor and an amazing comeback supported by a hard hitting thriller in 2007, Manorama Six Feet Under. Gul’s abilities could no longer be denied. It’s said that success tastes sweeter the longer you have to wait for it. Well, for a change, Panag can’t wait for her biggest commercial film ever, Hello, to release in two days. Looks like she is busy preparing to drown herself in nectar after the films sweet success. Time will tell that, but what I can tell you now is that this gorgeous Gul is getting all geared up to talk about Salman Khan, Sharman Joshi, her passion to write, her marketing strategies, her dancing abilities, her angst with the Censor Board of India and much more with London correspondent Devansh Patel in this Bollywood Hungama exclusive. Hello…are you listening?

Saif, Arjun and Yuvraj on the cover of GQ09.30.08

The much awaited news has just hit the stands (read ‘news stands’). We are indeed talking about GQ, the world’s leading men’s magazine and their super-mega Indian launch, which has got none other than the Nawab Pataudi Jr. (Saif Ali Khan) himself for starters. Even though he looks his usual element on the cover along with a hot PYT chic, we would have definitely preferred him with his trademark glares.

Nevertheless, this issue has Saif speaking (read ‘confessing’) that “Married men who are inaccessible are definitely hotter for women… In most of my relationships, I’ve been unfaithful, and I don’t want to do that anymore… I’ve done things backwards. I’ve been married; I’ve lived with someone, now I’m dating someone.” Honest confessions there by Saif!

If that was not enough, the readers can feast their eyes on the super hot and super sexy Yuvraj Singh (who is a pro in both bowling maiden over as well as even the maidens over!) and Arjun Rampal, to say the least!

And if that was not enough, the magazine also has Karan Johar as the contributing editor. Looking at the launch issue, we can surely say that ‘GQ…has arrived’!
