Mehdi Hassan alive and recovering in the hospital: Death rumours confirmed fake!

There were a lot of noises in the air pertaining the death of Mr. Mehdi Hassan but it has been confirmed now that by the grace of Allah the legendary singer is alive and recovering as well, Alhamdulillah.

The Indian-born singer Mehdi Hassan, who is widely considered by many as ‘King of ghazal’, is currently in the Special Care Unit of the Agha Khan University Hospital in Karachi and the doctors have confirmed that he is now responding to the treatment.

The 84-year-old Mehdi Hassan, also known as Ustad Mehdi Hassan, is suffering from a serious lung condition for the past many years as a result to which he was admitted in the hospital a few days back. Mr. Hassan was put on the ventilator but now it has been removed, thanks to millions of people who prayed for his health.

Mehdi Hassan’s son, Asif Mehdi, explained his father’s condition to the media when the last time he was interviewed. At that time Mehdi’s condition was much serious but now he is improving.

“He is still in the ICU and doctors are looking after him round the clock. All we can do now is pray for him and hope Allah gives him life,” said Hassan’s son, Asif Mehdi himself a singer.

“He had trouble in breathing (on Tuesday). We immediately rushed him to the hospital. He is in ICU but there is no positive response from the doctors about his condition,” Arif said.

“We have been feeding him through tube for the past two years and for the past one month, he has even lost his voice, which mesmerized millions of his fans,” he added.

The Shahenshah-e-Ghazal was born in 1927 in Luna, Rajasthan and many over there are also praying for his health, as they know there can never be another Mehdi Hassan.

Let’s pray Mehdi Hassan, who has given us evergreen ghazals like ‘Ab Ke Hum Bichde’, ‘Patta Patta Boota Boota’, ‘Yeh Dhuan’, ‘Woh Dilnawaz’, ‘Magghan Baat’, ‘Arz-E-Nyaz’ and ‘Zindagi main tu sabhi’, recovers soon because he is certainly a great asset in the field classical singing.

It will be great news for fans of the Superstar. Sources confirms that Superstar Rajinikanth starring Kochadaiyaan will start rolling from Jan 14 that is on the day of Pongal.

The First Look poster of Kochadaiyaan will be released as the official announcement made. The film is directed by Soundarya Ashwin and the whole film will be monitored under the supervising of KS Ravikumar.

The film will have music score by AR Rahman and Editing by Anthony. Also Prithviraj and Sneha are said to play important roles in the film.

The film will be finished soon for a quick August release since it will shot entirely using Motion capture technology and in 3D format.

As expected, the tickets for Nanban sold out like hot cakes within minutes the advance bookings opened. Tickets for the five days have been booked completely in almost all theatres, say industry sources.

At the Mayajaal, special shows have been added to meet the customer demands, we are told. Nanban will be the first Tamil film to be screened at Mayajaal with the highest number of shows in a single day, so far, say sources.

Just a few days ahead of the opening of the Expo to the public, Hero MotoCorp, erstwhile Hero Honda, introduced as many as three new products at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo.These include a 110cc scooter-The Maestro, a new 110cc version of the long in the tooth Passion motocycle-the Passion X Pro and a motorcycle based on the Honda Stunner-the 125 cc Hero Ignitor.

What is interesting is that these ‘new’ Hero bikes are largely based on Honda products.As expected, Maestro’s engine comes from the popular Honda Activa, the new Passion borrows the Twister engine while the Ignitor is almost a re-badged Stunner.This Honda Stunner based product sports a digital-analog combo meter console. Luckily, the bike has tubeless tyres and also offers an optional front disc brake.

Very much unlike the Pleasure, which is the girl’s scooter, the Maestro won’t look odd being ridden by the ‘not so fair’ sex and should have an almost unisex appeal. “Why should girls have all the fun?”  And this is what Mr.Anil Dua, senior vice president marketing and sales, Hero MotoCorp jokingly remarked. Among a lot of other things, the Maestro gets a service due indicaror

The Passion X Pro also gets a service due indicator along with new (unlike the Stunner’s) fuel tank shrouds, new graphics, maintenance free battery, tubeless tyres, optional front disc brake and wider seats.

Pawan Munjal, managing director and chief executive officer, Hero MotoCorp said,” The calendar year of 2011 was a watershed year for us at Hero MotoCorp. We not only made a successful transition into a new entity during the year, but equally importantly, we also raised the bar several notches higher to significantly improve upon our earlier performance. The launches that you see today are not just new products, these models reflect the company’s intent and vision for the future, and a clear strategy to further consolidate our leadership position.”

Seeing the whole year performance in 2011, the Bollywood has faced several controversies over this year. The major one issue is of Veena Malik’s nude ISI photo shoot.

Last year, The Pakistani Actress, Veena Malik, had left out from the ‘Bigg Boss 5′ an India reality show by public voting. There were so many issue attended between Veena and Ashmit Patel on their affairs.

She returned to her country and then signed another reality show “Sawayanwer” where she will be seen hunting her ‘Mr Right’ on the idiot box.

But after returning to Pakistan a Veena ‘s nude posing photo with an ISI tattoo on her arm, being the cover page of FHM magazines in India , broke out a major fire of issues on the both sides of the border that Veena backtracked. By accusing the editors of morphing her photo, she also sued the magazine for Rs 10 crore.

This was not the end, after nude photo scandal, the further headlines of her disappearing in Mumbai had been made during the shoot of a film and she resurface later. While asking from Veena, she claimed that she cut off from the world to recuperate from the stress caused by the nude photo scandal.
The hottest and sexiest performance made by Vidya Balan in ‘The Dirty Picture’ held to the political storm caused by ‘Dam 999′.In this movie Vidya Balan’s bare dare act of Southern sex siren Silk Smitha brought both critical issue and controversies for her, who shed her inhibitions to play the character in body and soul.

Although, the movie succeed to cover the audience attention and getting 3 stars. There may be major chances of Debutant director Sohan Roy’s ‘Dam 999′ found a place in the Oscars this year that will be best remembered for causing a political storm in Kerala and Tamil Nadu after Mullaperiyar dam issue.
But the film has been banned in Tamil Nadu. On the other hand, if we talk about the Bachan family, Aishwarya Rai’s pregnancy may have brought happiness for this family but it stalled the director Madhur Bhandarkar’s ambitious project ‘Heroine’.
Then a public statement given by Bhandarkar who claimed that Aishwarya did not inform him and it was impossible to shoot the film with her.
 Bhandarkar later resumed the shooting with Kareena when Aishwarya returned the signed amount and went the legal way to ensure that her name is not dragged further in the controversy.

Another big fact left with Bollywood hunk Salman khan. Many issues were again stroke out of Salman and Aishwarya’s relationship but it did not matter on the Salman’s life that is now with Katrina Kaif, the first choice of filmmaker.

The rumour also states that such hottest couple had broken their relationship, but the statement given by Katrina that “Salman khan is her first serious relationship” cool down this issue.

New Releases: ‘Breaking Dawn Part 1,’ ‘Happy Feet Two’ and ‘The Descendants’

If only there was a big movie coming out this weekend. Lolz. ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ arrives in theaters with freight-train like speed, poised to gobble up all possible dollars in the days before Thanksgiving. If vampire sex isn’t your speed, there’s also ‘Happy Feet Two’ and ‘The Descendants.’ To the Weekend Movie Preview!

NATIONWIDE RELEASES

‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′
What’s the story: Edward. Bella. The wedding of the century. The crazy honeymoon sex. The crazier mutant vampire baby. If you don’t know about ‘Breaking Dawn Part 1′ or ‘Twilight,’


‘Happy Feet Two‘

What’s the story: A sequel to the Oscar-winning 2006 smash ‘Happy Feet,’ ‘Happy Feet Two’ finds Mumbles (Elijah Wood) and his son trying to save their tribe. With dancing.

Box-office projection: The first ‘Happy Feet’ opened on this weekend in 2006 and tapped its way to $41 million in ticket sales. Of course, there was minimal competition then: ‘Casino Royale’ was the other big release (James Bond ain’t Edward Cullen) and the only other family film in circulation was ‘Santa Clause 3.’ ‘Happy Feet Two’ reaches theaters on the same day as ‘Breaking Dawn’ and is forced to share multiplex space with leggy hit ‘Puss in Boots.’ Being in 3D and IMAX should help, but don’t be surprised if ‘Happy Feet Two’ earned slightly less than the original. Slightly. $39.1 million
