Editorial: Bollywood
should stop stereotyping white women |
 This
week I have been interviewing the
charismatic Kamel Hothi, an Asian
banker extraordinaire. I've also
been having a bit of laugh at the
trailer for 'Kambakkht Ishq' which
is either the wind-up of the century,
a send-up of all action movies or
merely the beneficiary of the 'kiss
of death' from actress Denise Richards
(pictured left), ex-wife
of Charlie Sheen, whose sole purpose
in the film seems to be to look
good in a bikini! Perhaps Bollywood
should stop stereotyping white women
as much Hollywood should stop with
the Asian stereotypes.
I
am also pondering how Mira Kaushik
OBE, of Akademi, manages to get
so many hot young men to dance to
her tune. Guess, I'll just have
to attend Akademi's 'Frame by Frame'
symposium on Bollywood dance on
13 July 2009 to find out. And I
definitely can't wait for Anish
Kapoor's paint spattering cannon
ball art at the Royal Academy in
the autumn. Bikinis are optional
for that!

Kamel Hothi, Asian Banker Extraordinaire
|
 It
takes courage to agree to be interviewed on
the day your company announces the closure
of all outlets of a building society with
a loss of 1600 jobs, but Mrs Kamel Hothi is
no ordinary interviewee. Starting out as a
cashier in the Slough branch at the age of
sixteen, Hothi has risen to the role of Asian
Markets Director - Corporate Markets for the
Lloyds TSB group.

| Kambakkht
Ishq by Sajid Nadiadwala, UK Release 10 July
2009 |
 Kambakkht
Ishq explores the relationship between two
individuals so chalk-and-cheesely different
from each other that no matter how many times
they are pushed together, there's just fireworks,
no fire. If there ever was a marriage between
the east and the west, a romantic comedy and
Action, Hollywood and Bollywood...this would
be it.
