John Abraham’s Madras Cafe bags its first award

John Abraham must be on the seventh heaven now. Why do we say so, you ask? The actor has been conferred with Pride of the Nation award for his attempt to raise the sensitive issue of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination through his role as a RAW agent in Madras Cafe.

The award was presented to the actor by Anti Terrorist Front’s chairman M S Bitta. The film Madras Cafe set in the late 80s and early 1990s, during the time of Sri Lankan civil war and the assassination of then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was banned in certain cities, but despite all of that, Madras Cafe emerged as a hit.

Well, we would like to congratulate John on his achievement. May he win more and more of such awards.

Drashti Dhami: I told Salman that I want to quit, he was shattered

Drashti Dhami was balancing television soap Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon along with Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. The work pressure was so high that she told her choreographer, Salman Yusuf Khan, that she wants to quit.

“I did think of quitting. There was a time when I started getting low scores. The amount of energy, which I was trying to put into my performances, was not showing,” said Drashti. “After a month and a half, there is no physical strength left. It is only mental strength. I was so tired, I told Salman that I want to quit. He was shattered,” she added.

“But I knew, I would not give up…I know myself,” she added.

The 28-year-old described winning the show as a larger than life feeling. “It is a proud moment. It is larger than life feeling. But I am very tired and really zoned out right now,” said Drashti.

Asked about her joining other reality shows, Drashti said right now her priority is Madhubala… “I will concentrate on Madhubala Ek Ishq Ek Junoon as I haven’t given it too much time. As far as other reality shows are concerned, I don’t know what I will do. As of now, I just want to rest and rejuvenate myself,” she said.

Drashti-Salman team won the trophy as well as Rs 50 lakh prize money. “I have no idea what I will do with the prize money as of now, lets see,” Drashti said.
