Men's mag Maxim goes Bollywood
By Viral Bhayani
It is the hottest men's mag in the world. So much that this magazine has even given tough competition to Playboy magazine and other magazines like
Penthouse and FHM.
Maxim had once even voted Urmilla as the hotest Bollywood star.
We know Dino Morea is going places. But Hollywood?
Apparently this is fallout of his, by now famous shoot for the famous magazine Maxim. The magazine is running a story on Bollywood in its current issue. The
story has a photo feature on Salman Khan and Dino. The story is about Bollywood through the eyes of Dino.
So how did the Italo stud get to feature in this world-famous mag ?
"The Italian photographer Attilio Concario of the magazine had contacted the Italian consulate in Mumbai to help out", explains Dino. Naturally the first
Bollywood name they could think of was Dino Morea, half-Italian, half-Indian. And so he got featured in the magazine.
So where does the Hollywood part come in?
Apparently the Attillio was so impressed by Dino that he asked Dino to come to Italy where he would introduce Dino to some top showbiz personalities. Now
these people, who Dino would be introduced to, are also closely connected to Hollywood.
Now Italy has had a long association with Hollywood. Sophia Loren, Leonardo Di Caprio, the spaghetti westerns (English movies produced by Italians) and a
huge roster of producers and directors come to mind. We hear that Dino has picked up a little Italian these days. So with Dino possibly flying off to Rome in
the near future, will it be a Roman holiday for him? At Hollywood? And it is chutti for his Bollywood producers?
"Good God, no!" says Dino. "My feet are firmly planted in India. I have a number of movies in hand. There is Saurav Shukla's Chehra with Bipasha. Ishk Hai
Tum Se and Plan. So there is no question of my going off anywhere??
Why this craze to marry NRIs?
Discuss: Is there a craze to marry NRIs?
Jaipur: National Commission for Women Chairperson Poornima Advani has expressed concern over the craze among young women to marry NRIs and
warned against the culture shock and marital discord that could await them in foreign countries.
"Just one look at matrimonial columns in newspapers and you know this trend is increasing," she said, pointing out that in many cases, especially in Punjab,
the women have ended up as victims.
Talking to reporters, she said there was a need for change in the laws so that exploitation of such women could be stopped. In many cases, the NRIs have
abandoned their Indian wives, causing strain on the Joint Family system, she said.
The NCW is organising workshops on the subject and on the impact of globalisation on women in different states, she said. A concept paper prepared for
the workshop lists child custody matters and maintenance obligations as the incidental fallouts of foreign divorces.
Starting next month, the Commission would also organise campaigns in villages to create awareness on the legal and health aspects of women and
regarding the different government schemes meant for their welfare.
Advani expressed hope that women's issues would get priority in states having women Chief Ministers. There is an urgent need to ensure women-friendly
environment in police stations, proper toilets in schools, increase budgetary allocation for awareness campaigns, strengthen family courts and increase the
status of its counsellors, she said.
Regarding Rajasthan, she called for strengthening the 'Saathin' programme and for ensuring compulsory registration of marriages.
Asked which part of the country was "most unsafe" for women, she said the India-Bangladesh border near Karimganj had become "very dangerous" in the
recent past. "They rape women to strike terror and so that the family moves out of the area they want to occupy."
But women are victims of male violence everywhere, she stressed, citing molestation cases that had come to light during a public hearing in Tamil Nadu, of
those tortured after being accused of practising witchcraft in Jharkhand and of upper caste violence against lower caste women in Bihar.
