Calendar dreams
Ace lensman and CMD of Bling, Atul Kasbekar, is all set to judge a reality show The Hunt For Kingfisher Calendar on NDTV Imagine. The show will have12 finalists and one girl will make it to the Kingfisher Calendar. Says Atul, “I am very bullish about the show as this is the first reality show where the audience gets to see swimsuit clad women in all the 10 episodes starting from October 30. The final episode will be screened on January 1.” The winner will get to feature in the Kingfisher calendar along with four other models who have already been finalised. The shoot has various themes like shooting with animals, underwater works and in extreme cold conditions. Entrants are there from all over India, U.K. and South Africa and of Indian origin. Atul casts his vote for a girl called Nidhi, who is too short to make it to the final rounds, “but is someone to watch out for. The word photogenic defines her, she transforms in front of the camera.” The calendar shoot has been done at some of the world’s best beach resorts like Suneva Sushi and Soneva Gili on Maldives Islands. The team was there during Diwali and Atul had a surprise Diwali party. About the place, Atul says, “It is ridiculously luxurious and eco-friendly. They distil their own water and give it in glass , there is no plastic. They have strong values that we should carry back. It was an island - so our theme was green and blue.” Aki Narula is styling and the make- up artiste is Kapil Bhalla.
Will inglorious KRK be back?
There’s buzz that Kamaal R Khan or KRK as he calls himself will be going back into the Bigg Boss house sooner if not later. His presence in the house leads to a lot of drama, which translates into high TRPs. Agrees KRK, “I know the drama created by me is good. As for my going back, I have a contract of 86 days with the channel. If they ask me to go into the house I am duty-bound to do that.” Last week, KRK was thrown out in the most inglorious manner. In a fit of rage, he threw a bottle at another inmate Rohit Verma, which instead hit Shamita Shetty. Bigg Boss immediately asked him to pack his bags and leave. But KRK is unrepentant. “I did what was right. I had promised Sherlyn (Chopra) that I would see to it that she won’t be eliminated. I kept my promise by being ousted, otherwise I would have jumped the walls and escaped,” he reasons. According to him, the reason for his unpopularity in the house is not hatred, but insecurity. “The other inmates are scared of me because they know that if I am in the house I will win the show. With me out, everybody has a chance of winning,” he quips.
