“Saar, saar- new order saar…100 more effigies!”

Time for something fluffier: Bipasha + Ronaldo? Maybe!

They were hosting the Seven Wonders of the World party in Lisbon together. And they got along so well:

Revealing the details, she said: “I felt like a princess. He gave me so many compliments. He danced with me throughout the night. There were 50,000 jealous women staring at us. I must’ve got so much Portuguese bud-dua (bad wishes) that night. The local girls wanted to murder me. Now he wants to e-mail me regularly.”
During dinner Cristiano told Bipasha that he was a big fan of Bollywood. “I thought he was just trying to be sweet. I told him he didn’t have to say he liked Bollywood films just to please me.
Cristiano fished out his cell phone and made me hear Tujhse naraaz nahin from Masoom. He said, ‘Now do you believe me?’
Bipasha laughs about her interaction with the soccer star. “Though he looks older, Cristiano is very young, just a boy. Now I’ve told him, I’m only his fan on the field. Beyond the field he’s my friend. [HT]

He is young, just 22, and this detail apparently bothers many. How dare she! A younger man!

What does SHE have to say for herself?

Cristiano Ronaldo may not have been at a social distance when the photo being splashed on TV screens and the internet was clicked using a cell phone camera, but it isn’t a kiss that the photo shows, and definitely not a lip lock, says the livid bongshell.
“All the joy of that meeting with my favorite footballer has evaporated,” she laments.
“I don’t need to explain my behavior. I’m a free-spirited person. But I’m not footloose. It takes me a long time to become close to anyone. I’m certainly not some giddyheaded teenager who would get so carried away in Ronaldo’s company that I’d kiss him in public. My business manager Tanuja and dress designer Rocky S were present, would I be that dumb? There are far more discreet and private places to do such things. Even if I was single, I would not get carried away at my first meeting with a 22-year-old boy, no matter how big a celebrity he is, to misbehave with him in public.” [SAWF]

And her forlorn, forsaken, half-Mallu honey?

“When John started surfing the Net, he was shocked to see pictures of Bipasha splashed everywhere. Obviously, Bipasha had not informed him about this episode. John seemed very upset and what added to his misery was that everyone knew about the episode.”
John was very embarrassed to face anyone…and preferred to be alone after he learnt about the controversy. [TOI]

John. Poor, dear murungakkai of mine– if you need a shoulder to cry on…I’m all yours…unless Sunkrish Bala calls, that is. 😉

  1. and this detail apparently bothers many. How dare she! A younger man!

    Who cares about the bothered many. The dude definitely knows that older women rock more anyday.

  2. What John – whom I consider to be the zoolander par excellence – needs is a good meal of rice (parboiled of course), kaalan, and erachi or fish molee, downed with chukkuvellam.

  3. Afterwards he stepped on John Abrahams crotch and winked at his teammates.*

    From the racial-sexual politics angle, I find this more acceptable than Richard Gere’s sleazy smooches. Cristiano’s a young guy, attractive (albeit effeminate) and I’m thinking he was the one who was starstruck.

    *look up his world cup antics

  4. Two Indian South Asians have recently been charged with participating in the UK terrorism plot and nary a has word written about it by SM bloggers. Surely the arrest of two browns in connection with a terrorism plot has more serious ramifications for the community than the antics of a flamboyant footballer and a Bollywood floozy?

  5. Desi media specially the TV News is too hungry for this kind of stuff. News channels here are actually more entertaining than entertainment channel. Just yesterday i saw a news show showing various(at least 6) beating/slapping incident occured in last 24 hours. Freaking hillerious stuff. Then they brought some freak kid who was speaking gibbrish in American accent. The day before they were showing weird lights appearing in northern sky over Delhi.

  6. Yes. My plot to systematically destroy Man United player by player is working. Muahahahah.

  7. “When John started surfing the Net, he was shocked to see pictures of Bipasha splashed everywhere. Obviously, Bipasha had not informed him about this episode. John seemed very upset and what added to his misery was that everyone knew about the episode.”

    So, what’s “everywhere”? I mean, I would not know about this “fluffy” story without reading SM. John would have to be browsing all the tabloids or have to be reading SM to know about this, wouldn’t he?

    Have you been here for the last week? It’s been unusually somber– most topics covered have been very serious. This is about balance. Several people who sent in this tip reminded us of as much.

    We are on hiatus. We told everyone that we were winding down and “going fishing” and to expect no new posts. It’s surprising that you expected us to cover x, y or z desi-related story, after we stated that.

  9. Some may find the story vapid, but I am certianly not one of those people….the pressing question at hand is, who on EARTH would dare to double up on John Abraham??? Bipasha is lucky to have Ronaldo, let alone John (yes, I’m on a first name basis). Bottom line? I hate the bitch.

  10. Shanti, would you like to meet Wayne, or Michael? Or perhaps you prefer the exotic like Rio or Carlos? Traditional? How about Edwin? And, yes, I’m on a first name basis.

    Wait, is she saying it was the kiss that didn’t happen, that he was actually whispering in her ear, never mind the direction he’s heading in the photo, or is she saying that it’s “indeeshent” to receive a smooch? That bongshell would do better saying A Kiss is Just a Kiss, instead of putting out all this tamasha. Is this the current way to wear one’s sari or maybe one”s choli and ghagra?

    Yeah, Ronaldo was better than Richard Gere, and younger, too.

  12. During dinner Cristiano told Bipasha that he was a big fan of Bollywood. “I thought he was just trying to be sweet. I told him he didn’t have to say he liked Bollywood films just to please me. “Cristiano fished out his cell phone and made me hear Tujhse naraaz nahin from Masoom. He said, ‘Now do you believe me?’

    and isn’t she supposed to be out and about, promoting Bollywood?

  13. Hmm…. wear a saree like that and walk down Brigade Road in Bangalore?? She will be pinched black and blue all over,maaan

  14. I don’t know too much about her, but she did John Abraham wrong…surprisingly even though she’s a big star, from her interviews, she seems as if she is the one who is star-struck. Star-struck is fine, but so star-struck that you risk your relationship to flirt with a 22 year-old — please. Get some dignity.

  15. man, that’s a lot of hating on bipasha! since i regularly read desi gossip, i will enlighten you all to let you know that the john-bipasha relationship went through an entire two-week period of the gossip columns guessing as to whether their relationship was over. and the verdict is : yes (and apparently because of john’s own previous indiscretions). so bipasha was basically single when she went to portugal. normally, i would not divulge the extent of my bollywood gossip quotient, but there seems to be a lack of knowledge abut the background, and i know you SMers like to be balanced in your criticism!

  16. Looks like media is giving more publicity to this kissing episode than Taj Mahal !! Looks like Bips is going to ditch poor John. These desi babes are more attracted towards white males…that one I can see here in US tooooooooooooooooooooooo. They don’t care for Indian males.

  17. One more micro observation from me…..Bollywood babes are very shy during kissing scenes in the films..but they are very open and bitching and kissing with white males anytime anywhere!!

  18. Looks like media is giving more publicity to this kissing episode than Taj Mahal !!

    The Taj has had the limelight for 400+ years! It’s time for Bips.

    kissing with white males anytime anywhere!!

    He’s wheatish!

    man, that’s a lot of hating on bipasha! since i regularly read desi gossip, i will enlighten you all to let you know that the john-bipasha relationship went through an entire two-week period of the gossip columns guessing as to whether their relationship was over. and the verdict is : yes (and apparently because of john’s own previous indiscretions). so bipasha was basically single when she went to portugal. normally, i would not divulge the extent of my bollywood gossip quotient, but there seems to be a lack of knowledge abut the background, and i know you SMers like to be balanced in your criticism!

    thanks for the other angle. LIke I said I don’t know too much about her, and probably my remark was a bit cranky. Who knows, maybe JA is a cheating bastard? Don’t worry about your quotient of knowledge on the desi gossip scene…I know a little too much about Hollywood gossip, but it’s all for fun and a nice break from serious issues.

  20. What John – whom I consider to be the zoolander par excellence – needs is a good meal of rice (parboiled of course), kaalan, and erachi or fish molee, downed with chukkuvellam.

    John is a vegetarian and PETA rep.

    The only kind of fish he eats is….well, you know (or at least the female population of India hopes so!)

  21. From the racial-sexual politics angle, I find this more acceptable than Richard Gere’s sleazy smooches. Cristiano’s a young guy, attractive (albeit effeminate) and I’m thinking he was the one who was starstruck.

    How so, Cristiano is a white (probably Christian) Portugese man. The Christian Portugese colonized India.

    Gere is a Buddhist. Rather than colonize India, he adopted a religion from there.

    Gere’s move was more politically correct then.

  22. Whoa! It is clear that he did strike’er fancy, but that’s still forward of her. Maybe she got tired of hanging out with mid(level)field stars?

    and apparently because of john’s own previous indiscretions

    Do tell. Is there a Mia Hamm angle involved, now that Nom-aah’s star is fading… By the way, one of the other photos I saw had Bipasha wearing a big rock on the ring finger of her left hand. Was that just decoration?

    What John – whom I consider to be the zoolander par excellence

    Just because he went to a school for actors who can’t talk or act too good?

    A N N A! I heard that a cat was trapped in a well… somewhere in India, I’m sure. I was hoping there would be an expose on the inhumane conditions of felines and the danger they face from holes in the ground. Why this anti-cat agenda on SM? Was it because it was a male cat?

  23. Anna, one of John’s parents is Syrian Orthodox Christian.

    I say now is the time to stake your claim.

  24. Femmes fatales fancy a footballer?

    NvM, not just footballers, football managers too! And to make up for past errors, congrats on the correct pluralization of femme fatale.

    Also, folks, do watch out for John’s body to show up on a train track at some point, in a case of life imitating the best named film in Hindi cinema history (which was “inspired” by Double Indemnity, of course).

  25. not just footballers, football managers too!

    Aiyyo, which country are we in. When did we stop calling the game played with the feet soccer and game where 3/80th of the team uses it’s feet for the ball, football.

  26. best named film in Hindi cinema history

    Although it might be given a real run for its money by the star vehicle of India’s new nasal-twanged narcissistic actor-composer-songwriter-janitor. Ladies and not-so-ladies, I present toooo youuuu, Aap Kaa Surroor: The Moviee – The Real Luv Story.

    Aunshinq banaanyaaan…. aunshinq banaanyaan…

  27. Dear concerned,

    Two Indian South Asians have recently been charged with participating in the UK terrorism plot and nary a has word written about it by SM bloggers. Surely the arrest of two browns in connection with a terrorism plot has more serious ramifications for the community than the antics of a flamboyant footballer and a Bollywood floozy?

    Do you think is CNN-IBN? or NDTV? SM bears no moral responsibility to bring every topic, respect their choices, and IMHO I don’t think anyone would consider SM as the only source for things around the world. There are sites we can visit….

  28. Thanks Sidhu. 😉 Actually I had no clue that Bips wore sarees. But this one takes the breath away! Va Va voooom, Baby ;-). AMRITA thanks for the link to her beautiful saree. It reminded of the one Elizabeth Hurley wore some time ago. Oh BTW how is that couple doing??

  29. Rahul, you have achieved a commenting milestone- you have quoted yourself. Congrats big boy.

  30. Rahul, you have achieved a commenting milestone- you have quoted yourself. Congrats big boy.

    NvM, A lifetime of being shunned has allowed me to hone an excellent ability to have long conversations with myself.

  31. hmm, even though Bipasha is a little older than him, I think they would have made a great couple.

  32. hmm, even though Bipasha is a little older than him, I think they would have made a great couple.

    Honey, that’s why they would make a great couple. Take it from me. From about 35 – 45 a woman is at her peak. The same peak is reached by men 17 – 24. That’s why older woman/younger man relationships are the most, um, electrifying.

  33. Can’t fault Bipasha for sure; he can keep-it-up ages longer than any Desi man. (see 00:15)

    Dont forget to mention that no desi man can take ball’s to the face like him either.

  34. NvM, A lifetime of being shunned has allowed me to hone an excellent ability to have long conversations with myself.

    rahul, don’t forget to excercise your left forearm too.

  35. rahul, don’t forget to excercise your left forearm too.

    I’m right handed (now, everybody knows). I prefer to use my left forearm to type URLs into my browser.

  36. No Von: you’re quite hilarious on this thread. and i’m not just saying this to rattle rahul.

  37. No Von: you’re quite hilarious on this thread. and i’m not just saying this to rattle rahul.

    Manju, no! You are really hilarious on this thread.

  38. Wow Kissing is the new Free Publicity(tm)!

    I’m so proud of Bipasha AND Shilpa. Bollywood queens of yore used to rely on “acting” and fine silk to get them leading parts. Shilpa and Bipasha are being cute and flirty. Aish, please take note and ditch Abhishek stat. He’s gross and so is his dad and I’d rather have you smooching on random famous foreign men and getting a good photo op than being a nice little Indian girl that Amitabh can pin under his monstrous thumb.

  39. It looks like just a kiss on the cheek – nothing more. His mouth is aimed at her cheek rather her lips.

  40. She’s young, she’s single, why shouldn’t she be kissing as many men as she wants?

    Get it while you can.

    Youth is wasted on the young.

  41. rahul, don’t forget to excercise your left forearm too.

    manju, that was the best burn ever. nicely done.
