Now, she again faces with media coverage by the intimacy with Harman Baweja who is an actor and another glamorous actress of bollywood Priyanka Chopra’s boyfriend.

Harman reportedly came to the party with girlfriend Priyanka Chopra but was soon seen trying to woo Deepika. The lad sure has got a roving eye.
Sources from the party are quoted as saying that Harman was in a very jolly mood and indulged in some “harmless flirting” with Deepika despite the fact that his own squeeze, Priyanka Chopra, was in tow.
It goes to show how terrific Deepika looked at the party, the source adds. Harman’s wooing act must have made Priyanka jealous, and may be embarrassed, but she did not create any scene at the party.

Priyanka Chopra is an intelligent girl and did not create any scene then. But I think she will not take it easily.

India vs Pakistan Series: NEO and Doordarshan will Telecast Live

To watch India vs Pakistan Kitply Cup Final Live visit the link

http://www.indianraj.com/2008/06/india_pakistan_tri_series_fina.html


Which channel will telecast the India vs Pakistan series? I have gotten a lot of comments from the cricket fans on my blog. I did not answer them because I had to be sure about it. Now, I am informing all cricket fans that Nimbus owners Neo Sports channel will telecast the one-day internationals series between India and Pakistan. Only Neo Sports has the right to telecast the series but it permitted Doordarshan to telecast one-day internationals alongside NEO Sports.

India-Pakistan matches are always exciting to the fans of both the countries. The people of both country love cricket very much. Other important issue is the both country have a conflict in every matters and it reflects on cricket too.

Perfetti, Hero Honda and Future Group are anchor sponsors which have signed up with Neo for three years. The agreements with various sponsors also take into consideration that the ODIs will also be shown on Doordarshan. While Mr Manocha claimed that Neo has sold 10-second spots for around Rs 3.74-4 lakh, independent media buyers believe the slots for co-sponsors were sold for a little lower.

At the time of Twenty20, Prashar Bhariti failed to compromise with the ESPN channel to let telecast the match because of its high ad rate. Although NEO is earning huge profits from the series but it lets DD to telecast the match so that local people could see the match easily.

I know why the cricket fans are looking seriously, which channel will telecast the matches because during the World Cup Twenty20 all the cricket fans of India deprived of watching the matches. Anyway, now all the worried come to end and the local and satellite connected household will be happy to see this news.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has Celebrated her 34 Birthday at Taj Mohal

Today is 1 November 2007, Bollywood queen Aishwarya Rai’s 34th birthday. In another articles I wrote that I was not clear how they would celebrate their birthday. It was gloomy. Now, it is clear that what was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan’s their plan. The couple visited the monument of love, Taj Mohal. You all know that Taj Mohal is the 7th wonder of the world. May be it was the special offer for hubby Abhishek Bachchan. After their marriage it is the first birthday of Aishwaraya Bachchan. Amitav Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan were along with them at the time of visiting the wonder monument.

It`s been a hectic time for Aishwarya. "I came back from the US from shooting Pink Panther in time for Karwa Chauth. God knows how the cameras got our shots, probably from neighbour`s premise. We`re just leading our lives normally.I don`t know why or how the press has this hunger to know about us."

She laughs, "This is my first birthday after marriage and therefore a very special occasion. Spending time with the people I love is my greatest joy. I`m in a very happy place. And I don`t mean Agra. Just being with three people who mean so much to me makes my life complete. God has been kind. There`s great fulfillment in love and in being loved, by not just my husband but his parents who are now my parents. We`re one family and we all love one another."

Aishwarya Rai will act in role of Mamataz in her next movie Taj Mohla.
