			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kareena Kapoor says she loves mujra and she is very happy to do the mujra dance in her upcoming movie &quot;Agent Vinod&quot;. She adds, it was a tribute to the queen of mujras, Rekha. </p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="kareena_mujra-agent_vinod" border="0" alt="kareena_mujra-agent_vinod" src="http://mujra.badmasi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/kareena_mujra-agent_vinod.jpg" width="604" height="424" /></p>
<p>Kareena says, &quot;Mujra has its own charm which comes from the music and the shayari. My favorite mujra is Rekha&#8217;s Salaam-e-Ishq from Muqaddar Ka Sikander.&quot; Kareena adds, &quot;I feel lucky that I got a chance to even try out something like that.&quot; </p>
<p>If Kareena&#8217;s move is liked by the movie goers, Mujra might be the next sensation in Bollywood movie. If rumors are to be believed, Priyanka Chopra might also be doing a mujra number in Ekta Kapoor&#8217;s next production, &quot;Shootout At Wadala&quot;. </p>
<p><span id="more-1549"></span>
<p>After Rekha, Mujra dances in Hindi movies hasn&#8217;t been that effective in gaining viewer&#8217;s attention. One of the most graceful Mujra that I can remembered was &quot;Maar Dala&#8230;&quot; done by Madhuri Dixit in her 2002 movie &quot;Devdas&quot;.&#160; </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s wish the days of Mujra start in Bollywood! </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s wish the next &quot;item dance&quot; sensation be Mujra!</p>

<p><a href="http://mujra.badmasi.com/tag/sunny-leone/">Sunny Leone </a>has finally signed the agreement to<a href="http://mujra.badmasi.com/sunny-leone-jism-2-poster/"> act in Jism 2</a>. According to the producer and director Pooja Bhatt, the daughter of Mahesh Bhatt, Sunny will come to Delhi in March for the shooting of the movie. The shooting will be done in Delhi and Jaipur.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pooja told that Sunny will play the role of a Delhi girl, just out of University. Two male leads for the movie are yet to be finalized &#8211; one young and other in his early 40s.</p>
<p>Pooja told that the script of the movie will be sent to Sunny well in advance so that she can prepare herself in her language. Sunny told that she had agreed to do the role only after she read the story and liked her character.<span id="more-1538"></span></p>
<p>Although it is kept a secret, some believed that Sunny has agreed to work in less than her usual rate as she was desperate to work in a Bollywood movie. On the other hand, it was Mahesh Bhatt <a href="http://mujra.badmasi.com/sunny-leone-to-debut-in-bollywood-with-mahesh-bhatts-jism-2/">who chased Sunny</a> to convince her to act in his movie. So, it can&#8217;t be said who would benefit more by the movie.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems <a href="http://mujra.badmasi.com/tag/sunny-leone/">Sunny Leone</a> has confirmed her role in the upcoming Bollywood film Jism-2. In a Facebook page, Sunny apparently has written the following text: (although, there is no way to confirm the page was created by Sunny herself).</p>
<blockquote><p>my upcoming Bollywood film</p>
<p>official fan page of jism 2 create soon</p></blockquote>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="Bollywood film _jism_2_poster" src="http://mujra.badmasi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Bollywood-film-_jism_2_poster.jpg" alt="Bollywood film _jism_2_poster" width="504" height="254" border="0" /></p>
<p>Sunny had revealed earlier that she had always wanted to work in Bollywood. And, in the case of Jism 2, it was the director <a href="http://mujra.badmasi.com/sunny-leone-to-debut-in-bollywood-with-mahesh-bhatts-jism-2/">Mahesh Bhatt who approached Sunny</a>. So, there is a higher probability of the the actress acting in the movie.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="Mahesh_bhatt_offering_Sunny_a_role_in_jism_2" src="http://mujra.badmasi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Mahesh_bhatt_offering_Sunny_a_role_in_jism_21.jpg" alt="Mahesh_bhatt_offering_Sunny_a_role_in_jism_2" width="504" height="317" border="0" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1530"></span></p>
<p>Sunny is beautiful, smart and talented in her field but, it sure is not easy to get established in Bollywood. It is to be seen how the conservative audience take an actress like Sunny in mainstream movies.</p>
<p>Our best wished to Sunny, Mahesh Bhatt and the entire Jism 2 team.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>As night time approaches, the synchronised sounds of the tabla and the jingling ghunghroo reach a crescendo and the high-storey houses, with intricately carved balconies and awning windows, begin dazzling with bright lights. Their windows and doors remain ajar till the wee hours of the morning, offering potential customers a sneak peek of the revelry of music and dance going on inside.</em></p>
<p>Such was a typical night at the notorious Heera Mandi located in the heart of Old Lahore before the 1980s. Most continue to imagine the place as a wild alternative world of entertainment and debauchery. However, this perception of the Diamond Market starkly contrasts with its present reality. The landscape of Heera Mandi, where most businesses typically commenced past midnight, has drastically altered over the decades.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="mujra_dancers" border="0" alt="mujra_dancers" src="http://mujra.badmasi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mujra_dancers.jpg" width="504" height="234" /></p>
<p><strong>Waning </strong><strong><em>kothas</em></strong><strong> and missing dancing girls</strong></p>
<p>Abdul Sattar*, who is in his mid-twenties, hails from a <em>gharana</em> which historically organised <em>mujras</em>.&#160; “We gave it up following threats by some unknown people to end this ‘business’,” says the young man, who is dressed in casual jeans and a blue t-shirt.</p>
<p><span id="more-1516"></span>
<p>“We have friends in this area and we don’t want them to face any untoward incident because of us.”</p>
<p>While sitting on a wooden bench outside a roadside restaurant near his home in Heera Mandi, Sattar relays the bleak tale of the area’s demise.</p>
<p>His family — apparently one of the only two surviving families of Heera Mandi’s traditional entertainers — has now given up its profession.</p>
<p>The other <em>gharana</em> has now shifted to a posh locality in the city because it’s easier for them to organise <em>mujras</em> for the wealthy in lavish homes and spacious farmhouses, claims Sattar.</p>
<p>“Very few <em>kothas</em> are left here now and their former owners have relocated after renting them out.”</p>
<p>He is quick to draw a clear distinction between his ancestral business and sex work. “We have been musicians since generations but we don’t run brothels,” he says categorically.</p>
<p>“People often confuse Heera Mandi’s <em>kothas</em> with brothels,” he continues. “Although sex workers have operated and do still operate in Heera Mandi, typically a <em>kotha</em> was a place where girls danced.”</p>
<p>There are others who also attest to the idea that Heera Mandi was much more than just a hub for sex work.</p>
<p>“In the late 1970s the place used to be very vibrant,” says film critic Zahid Akkasi, who authored a book on Heera Mandi. “This place has given us some legendary musicians, singers and actors.”</p>
<p>The writer attributes Heera Mandi’s demise to Ziaul Haq’s drive to Islamise Pakistan during the 1980s. “How can a place like Heera Mandi survive with Ziaul Haq as the ruler?” he asks.</p>
<p>While many people still continue to think of Heera Mandi as the hub of the city’s brothels, there is strong factual evidence suggesting that this is no longer the case. Many brothel owners, faced with crackdowns and a changing clientele, simply pulled up their stakes and moved to other parts of the city. According to an investigative report prepared under the direction of the Lahore CCPO Pervaiz Rathore, there were 445 brothels operating in various parts of Lahore in 2009 — 128 in Model Town division, 96 in Saddar, 75 in city division, 52 in Iqbal Town, 52 in Civil Lines division, 42 in Cantt division and 19 are ‘mobile’ brothel houses. The report also alleged that these brothels survive due to the active patronisation of the area SHOs. What houses of prostitution remain in Heera Mandi are seamy, seedy and very low-rent.</p>
<p><strong>Surviving the odds&#160; </strong></p>
<p>With the decline of <em>kothas</em> and traditional musical entertainment, the landscape of Heera Mandi has radically changed. Now most of the shops, which once catered to the area’s musicians, have been converted into shoe markets. The area surrounding Tibbi Gali — once famous for artisans with the amazing talent of repairing traditional musical instruments like the <em>tabla</em> and <em>sitar</em> — has become a hub of small factories manufacturing sodas and soft drinks injurious to health, according to a report by the Excise and Taxation Department.</p>
<p>However, there are still a few shops where artisans fix musical instruments, but their trade, which historically depended on the tradition of <em>mujras</em> in Heera Mandi, has waned. “Most of our customers come from other parts of Lahore,” says Yaqoob, who owns a shop for fixing musical instruments. “But we are mostly asked to fix guitars; classical singers and musicians seldom come to get their instruments fixed so business is not very good.”</p>
<p>Several new music bands and disc jockeys have opened up their offices in the area and are offering their services for weddings and other functions. “Most of the people running these businesses were formerly involved in Heera Mandi’s ‘traditional entertainment’,” explains a member of a local musical band. “A typical <em>mujra</em> involved technicians, musicians and even singers, and with its decline, these people have moved on to other professions.”</p>
<p>“Contrary to popular belief about Heera Mandi [that it was a centre for prostitution], it was actually a place where classical singers taught students at <em>bethaks</em>,” he asserts. “Once a courtesan at Heera Mandi told me that she didn’t need to learn singing if she only had to work as a prostitute.”</p>
<p>“Heera Mandi is not what it used to be; it’s become a place where sex workers — mostly transsexuals — can ‘entertain’ a customer for a sum as low as Rs200,” says Kulsoom*, a sex worker, wistfully. “Just seven years ago, the place had glamour and <em>Basant</em> celebrations here used to draw influential people.”</p>
<p>But as the time-honoured trades of Heera Mandi continue to slide into oblivion, there are still some who refuse to see the writing on the wall.</p>
<p>Abdul Sattar, for one, has the resources to set up his business in another part of Lahore but he refuses to abandon Heera Mandi.</p>
<p>“Look, I was born here and I grew up here and this is the place that I belong to,” he says in a sentimental tone. “I just wish, with all my heart, for this area to relive its glory days.”</p>
<p>* Names have been changed</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mujra.badmasi.com/tag/veena-malik/">Veena Malik</a> is accused of betraying her country over the FHM magazine cover and straying the strict Islamic culture of covering up her body. Veena however says that <a href="http://mujra.badmasi.com/veena-malik-says-she-was-topless-but-not-naked/">she wasn&#8217;t topless</a></p>
<p>Veena says, &#8216;When the upper portion of the model is completely covered, by the hands, you can’t call it topless.&#8217;</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; margin: 3px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="veena-malik" src="http://mujra.badmasi.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/veena-malik.jpg" alt="veena-malik" width="504" height="779" border="0" /></p>
<p>It is reported that her father has disowned her, and she has received death threats. ISI, in a text message to local journalists has told that it was ‘the height of humiliation for Pakistan, done by a Pakistani on Indian soil’.</p>
<p><span id="more-1512"></span></p>
<p>In response, Veena told &#8216;This attitude, I’m sorry, is in the society. When they say they have become modern, grown up, that’s wrong. They still live in the stone age.&#8217;</p>
<p>Veena has claimed that she was wearing the bottom half of bikini and was covering the top part of her body by her hands. In the initial cover, she accused the magazine of manipulating the photo to remove the bikini bottom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Channel V fame Sophiya Haque started as a VJ/host on the pop-music channels in the 1990s. The Indian satellite TV opened her the path to modeling and acting career.

<p><span id="more-1490"></span>
<p>Sofia found a new way to get some limelight when she celebrated her birthday in a hotel in Mumbai; dressed in a bikini.
