Will Aishwarya Rai deliver on Nov 11?


If rumors are to be believed, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is due for a November second week dilevery. The actress is currently in her third trimester of pregnancy.
Buzz also has it that fans and friends of the actress are gearing up to receive bets on the exact date that Ash will deliver.
Talks among people are that Ash will deliver on 11-11-2011.
“It is a unique date which has people excited and has raised the bar for the bets,” says the one of them.
Another source says, “The stakes will change as November approaches as one will get a clearer idea of when the actor is actually due,”
“The best part is that the mother herself will have no control over the exact due date. So it’s all guess work and that is what has raised the stakes here,” says the source.
“It’s not about money, but I truly wish that the Bachchan’s have the privilege of bringing a newborn in this world on an unique day. It only befits an unique family, doesn’t it?’” he adds.

Karva Chauth in Bollywood Movies


What is common among films like Suhaag, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Baagbaan? All these films have one thing similar in the sense that there were scenes of Karva Chauth. Karva Chauth is considered to be a romantic festival, symbolizing the love between a husband and wife.
It has been celebrated in Bollywood movies such as Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, where an unmarried woman signals her love for a man by keeping the fast for him and he reciprocates by demonstrating his concern for her during the day and breaking her fast by feeding her at moonrise, and Baghban, in which a man persuades his elderly fasting wife to break her fast over the telephone because they have been separated by their uncaring children.
News coverage of celebrities sometimes highlights the keeping of the fast by an unmarried female public figure because it indicates a strong and likely-permanent romantic attachment. Similar to Valentine's Day, the lack of a romantic partner can acutely be felt by unattached women. The festival is used extensively in advertising campaigns in the region, for instance in a Chevrolet TV spot in which a man demonstrates his caring for his wife by buying a car with a sunroof so he can drive her around on Karva Chauth night until she spots the moon through it.
Noted film writer Harish Chandra says that as BR Chopra and Yash Chopra hail from Punjab where this festival celebrated in a very big way,they knew about it very closely. Perhaps that is why they had put the scenes of Karva Chauth in Baagbaan and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Those who know about Bollywood say that Karva Chauth is celebrated among Bollywood stars in a big way. “ I think as Bollywood is full of people from Punjab or with Punjabi background,that is why they celebrate it,” Harish Chandra says.
