Bollywood Rivalries Go Web 2.0 Way - Bitching & Backstabbing Through Blogs & Wikis!

It is said that "There is no business like show business". Also, it is known as "no friend or enemy is forever" in Bollywood. But, recently the rivalries have taken the Web 2.0 approach -

1. Amitabh Bachchan being paid Rs 100 Crore to blog? Bitch about Shahrukh? Create controversy?

WTF, Amitabh Bachchan is reportedly paid Rs.100 crores to blog on BigAdda! No idea whether he is actually writing or have been ghost written, but surely Bollywood bitching is on - In a recent post he has termed "Paanchvi Pass" as "Paanchvi Fail" comparing the TRPs.

2. Aamir who supposedly has a dog named Shahrukh. Aamir's blog says -
"Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?"

3. LoveStory 2050 Wikipedia entry defaced - Not only among established actors, there is friction between newcomers too. Just yesterday, débutante Harman Baweja & Priyanka Chopra starrer Love Story 2050's Wikpedia entry was defaced (check out the history tab).

The name of the movie was changed to LoveStory 1999. The name of the actor was changed from Harman Baweja to Hrithik Roshan. The Director as Rakesh Roshan. The budget (60 Cr.) to 60 Thousand.

The log details shows that the SPAMMER has no other activity on Wikipedia.

It seems fishy as interestingly Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan & Harman Baweja are all set to clash come July 4.

To add more, Aamir Khan introduced Imran Khan to his fan base via his blog.

Well, precisely speaking Bollywood is becoming Bollywood 2.0!
Whatever comes next, I would just say - the show must go on..!!

lay kim said...: Hello Rupesh,
Wow! Your blog is amazing. The design and the content are excellent. Actually I came to know your site thru' a Singaporean's blog (Kian Ann.)
Actually I am Chinese from Malaysia and a big fan of Bollywood stuff. Movies, music and starlets! I used to watch Hindi movies back in the 70s of sexy stars like Shamila Tagore, Parveen Babi and others.
Anyway, I was looking around as how to have different meta tags for individual post for BLOGGER. I notice you have done it on your blog. Care to share how you do it?

Thank you for your attention and time.

Regards,
