Hey Bollywood romantics.. Hope you are well and basking in the glory of the accomplishments of the talented geniuses of our industry at the Bafta’s, Golden Globe & even the Academy Awards. As suggested by a few ignorant people in the industry, Slumdog Millionaire does not depict the ‘horrible’ and poor aspects of India.. What it truly presents is how we strive and work for excellence. It shows how we make fighters and stand strong to go the distance.. What it really shows is how talent like A.R. Rahman can get the world to stand up and applaud at out work.. And Rahman now gets every head in the world to turn to notice our music .. our heritage.. our Indian Film Industry and everything part and parcel of that…
..
Jason Camilleri & Siriol of BBC Radio Wales along with their team run a special World music show called ‘Mixing It’. The show brings out the variety and musical talent hidden in different parts of the world and presents it in a 2 hour package every week to a broad minded listener craving for musical creativity.
..
For means to this end, they have requested me to drop by and do a special one hour DJ set depicting commercial Indian film music and prove how varied and advanced musical skills are in India. They have invited me on the show for 2 weeks in a row. Check out my interview on ‘Mixing It’ featured on Saturday 28th Feb ’08 show. The interview is available on BBC Iplayer till Saturday 7th March’08. Here is the link for the Mixing It show:-

Make sure you clear your room for enough dancing space cause it will be an hour of dance beats straight from the Asian sub continent with me DJ Munks on the ‘Mixing IT’ takeover.. THIS IS GOING TO BE MASSIVE.. !!
Big up producer Siriol & her team including Jason Camilleri for having me on the show.. BBC RADIO WALES – “MIXING IT”
Although short notice but was a great experience.
10 mins of fame on prime mainstream radio.
Check out my interview about the massive Bachhan family Unforgettable Tour in London on the 24th August followed by some bits about me & then my first remix feature on radio on this link below.
This link will be available only till 30th August.
My interview is about 29 mins in the show. So you can skip it forward if you just interested in my part. Else listen to the whole show.. It’s an awsome show to listen to.. the variety of music is faB !!! You hear everything from Jamaican to Bollywood to Bhangra to Polish to Chinese to just about everything under the sun.. Great stuff.. !!!
For those of you who still dont know.. I was down at the massive ZEE CINE AWARDS LONDON ’08. I was the EVENT CO-ORDINATOR FOR ZEE based at the venue. I was also responsible for setting up a mojor part of the dressing rooms for the stars and supervising the RED CARPET on the day of the final event.
WHAT AN EVENT & WHAT AN EXPERIENCE !!!!
MASSIVE & GLAMOROUS IN EVERY WAY with half the BOLLYWOOD industry present!!
Well let’s get on with the photos & tell you a little more about this multi-multi-multi-multi Million pound event.
The first 4 photos below are the layout of the venue at the beginning of the week with the seats layout and the stage being erected. The seating area had seats from £1500 to £50 ticket areas.. and Yes .. every seat was taken.. SOLD OUT !
The next pic has the massive 50 member Ganesh Hegde dance troop from India rehersing their moves before the Stars come in for their practice. The man with the white back & curly hair is Ganesh Hegde. Photo 4135 has Mr. SAIF ALI KHAN on stage in brown rehersing. 4136 has KAREENA KAPOOR on there.. & YES.. the gossip is all true.. They do look like a good couple & together all the time. I saw them in their lovey-dovey moments with Kareena fixing his hair etc. through the rehersals. I was with these two most of the time through the event. If you have been watching Zee Cinema, you would have seen me escorting these guys around back stage on the event day. I was responsible of taking care of these two throughout. It was fun in the dressing room with them They both nice in person but obviously do have their starry tantrums as well..
4137 & 38 have VIDYA BALAN on stage in rehersals.. The most hard working person I saw of all the stars. Punctual & dedicated. Putting all the effort in every rehersal & no doubt she has the most beautiful smile. She would just hang around back stage & talk to everyone who would come to her. 4139 & 40 you see my hottie.. KATRINA KAIF walk in.. she was fun to be around.. very flexible & easy to communicate with. Probably she is more at home when in London.. lol
4141 & 4143 has Mr. KING SHARUKH KHAN shaking the leg right in the centre. This man shocked me with his work. He practised for exactly 2 hours for the grand finalle performance.. He is a professional !!! Was to arive at 8am to practise.. We were sleeping in our hotels thinking he would come around 12.. He was there at 7:50.. Left me stunned.. Came down in his massive Rolse Royse Phantom with the number plate JAADU.. [photo 9.27 below] lol.. Took his regular smoke [9.28 below.. sat on the left surrounded by his personal security] & coffee breaks. He does smoke a lot & a fact for big Sharukh fans.. He drinks black coffee with loads of sugar.. The man has a sweet tooth. I still have bills of his organic black coffee’s that I need to claim back from Zee.. But very humble and would ask me politely for whatever he wanted & thank for everything.
Then check out my photo
on Salmaan’s Kawasaki Ninja. He was supposed to make an entry on that but the dummer cancelled.. What a looser.. but I got the bike instead but only for a round Upen Patel took over his performance on the bike.
Check out the photos of the dressing rooms I setup & the backstage area with tons of equipment that took a week to setup and cost millions.. I loved all of it.. I then got to chat quite briefly with the hottest women at this show.. The most stunning I thought.. LARA DUTTA.. Ahhh.. she is gorgeous.. nuf said !!
We then got to the final event on the 26th April’08. The crowd started coming in & the event packed out in no time. The red carpet opened in and the celebrities started popping in from the big cars. I was supervising the Red Carpet area & so I saw some of the biggest cars & some of the biggest starts. The photographers lined around and the photos kept clicking. I got to see every star that came in at the closest. To name a few.. The full Kapoor family, Karishma & hubby, Randhir kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, the new guy in Saawariya, etc. Shilpa, Dia Mirza, Arjun Ramphal & wife, Govinda, Padmini Kolhapure, Rekha, Dilmple Kapadia, jay Sean, hard Kaur, Gauri Khan, AR REhman, Bappi Lahiri, Karan Johar, Sajid Khan, Boxer Amir Khan, etc etc.. the list goes on.. everyone you see on Tele at the show this sunday 18th May..
Check out the photos of the event & the Kareena, Sharukh, Jay Sean etc. performances.. some awards being given out etc. and the packed out audience.. What a fab event.. !!
I wont disclose who one which award… cause frankly.. I dont know much either as I was backstage most of the time or in the dressing rooms with these stars and all.. But you can sure find it all out this Sunday on Zee TV. But I do know that Aamir Khan won the best director award for Taare Zameen Par as I have the final award slip for that.. So Aamir Sir .. if you reading this please text me your address & I’ll post that to you … lol..
OH.. By the way.. I GOT TO HOLD THE 1ST ZEE CINE AWARD TROPHY in my hand since I transported them.. lol.. It’s quiet light in weight.. sadly.. not enough Gold on it..
Check out the videos below.. & disastrous photos of the wrap up the day after the show.. [Man that hurt !! I was soo sad.. Things that took months to setup.. gone down in a flash..] But then I got to drive a Porsche in the empty hall.. haha..
HERE IT IS FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE… IF YOU DINT CATCH IT LIVE ON AIR ON THE 28th MARCH’08 ON BBC ASIAN NETWORK ON THE FRICTION SHOW, HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO LISTEN TO IT .. & FOR ALL THOSE WHO DID HEAR IT & STILL ARE BACK TO CHECK IT OUT AGAIN.. SHOW SOME LOVE.. DROP YOUR COMMENTS..
