Reddy for Action

Having launched her signature video game avatar, Sameera Reddy is now ready to deliver a knock-out punch by hosting the second edition of the AXN Action Awards. India’s answer to Lara Croft answers some action-packed questions:

• Favourite action movie: Lara Croft Tomb Raider
• Favourite action movie star: Sylvester Stallone
• Superhero she’d like to play: Catwoman
• She’d like to play damsel-in-distress to: King Leonidas in the movie 300
• Super powers she’d like to possess: Be invincible
• Indian action hero she admires: Hrithik Roshan

ROLE CALL

Television actor Sounia Kapur, best known for her roles in Remix and Kkusum, will now play the scheming Menaka, with permed hair and sexy blouses, in Sony’s Jeete Hain Jiske Liiye. “Menaka is not bad. Her only aim is to get married to a rich man,” says the 30-year-old quite seriously.

WEDDING WOWS

Sonia Gandhi was a no-show, Mukesh Ambani was conspicuous by his absence, and Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Rani Mukherji weren’t invited. Even as invitations and omissions remained the hottest topic of debate, the wedding of the year—a most private event in these public times—drew to a close in Mumbai, as superstar scion Abhishek Bachchan and beautiful bride Aishwariya Rai headed to Tirupati to seek post-shaadi blessings. The bride looked demure in a red and gold sari, the groom showed off his mehendi and Amar Singh and Anil Ambani played indulgent uncles as the media made a mad dash for the first blissfully wedded sighting of ‘Abhiash’ at the darshan. The Bollywood royalty betrothal might be over, but the speculations on exclusive coverage deals and honeymoon destinations have already begun. Any guesses.
