Mission...Clarence House

Raj | 09:18 UK time, Sunday, 20 July 2008

Well what can I say - after Saif Ali Khan waxed lyrical about his body shape for Thoda PyaarÌýThoda Magic - I finally took the plunge and booked a personal trainer...lol.ÌýÌýEd, whose company has trained the likes of Cate Blanchett, comes home and puts me through my paces. I've felt pain in my muscles that I didn't know existed.Ìý

However,Ìýit was nothing compared to the agony on my butt of having to sit through three hours of Mehbooba!Ìý The only thing that touched a chord was the body changes of Sanjay Dutt,ÌýAjay Devgan and Manisha Koirala. The best thing was seeing "the ever so perfect body conscious" Pablo choke on his wine (it was a vintage hahahah)! when I told him. Talk about green eyed jealousy from my fellow co presenter and frenemy! (ha ha only joking).

Felt honoured to be invited to Clarence House where we met the ever so elegant Shabana Azmi and the suave Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Both were impressed by Prince Charles' successes in making a difference with his charities and are looking forward to developing proposals for the Prince to help in India.Ìý Shabana told us to sayÌýÌýhi to her son Farhan Akhtar as he was popping in to meet us as TV Centre the next day. Farhan who single handedly redefined Bollywood with Dil Chahta Hai was a pleasure. He loves London and revealed he had always wanted to be aÌýrock star and has sung most of the songs on the album for the movie Rock On.Ìý He alsoÌýwrote DonÌýwith Hritihik Roshan in mind!

WatchedÌýKismat KonnectionÌý - and have to say it's worth a peek. Shahid and Vidya make an odd couple - she still looks a messÌýso I am going to get Gok on the case!ÌýÌýThe film, though,Ìýwas fun and Juhi as a quirky fortune teller is fantastic.

Ìý

TheÌýÌýfamily Bachchan have again proved their detractors wrong with their show stopping opening in Toronto with Akshay Kumar declaring Canada is where he may retire in his dotage - wonder what Twinkle has to say!Ìý

Ìý

Am really impressed by the first look of Warner's Chandni Chowk to China - it looks amazing and apparently Bappi Lahiri is remixing his classicÌýÌý"Mumbai Sai Aya Mera Dost" from the Rekha-Vinod Khanna classic "Aap Ki Khatir" for the flick. Can't wait for Ugly or Pagli. Not only does Malika slap 99 times but its got a special appearance by Bollywood's original sex symbol the elusive Zeenat Aman.

I have a hectic week and a big dilemma of having to come up with recipes for a new Raj&Pablo cocktail...should I call it R&P Lite due to my new toned look...any suggestions...or is their a form of diet champagne...help!!!

    Good to have you back, girls. I'm off to see Kismat Konnection tonight - I thought Vidya Balan smouldered in Parineeta, so I hope she lives up to her potential.

    I've got a Bollywood gossip blog here:


    Check it out and see what you think.

    P.S. Surely you should call your new cocktail "Bandit Queen"??!!
